The mysterious elder exudes an eerie aura.
Before this, Julius Reed had killed so entities that walked out from the temple.
Back in Gonzalez City, Old Eight was possessed by things inside, but was killed all the sa.
Yet today’s elder is entirely different from those before.
Red flas ignited the elder; under normal circumstances, he should have been reduced to ashes, and the temple entities would disappear.
They must depend on their host.
Amidst the blazing flas, the elder not only did not dissolve, but instead took a step forward, reaching out to grab Julius Reed’s neck!
Bang!
Julius Reed instinctively grasped the elder’s arm with his left hand.
Suddenly, the elder smiled.
Upon showing his smile, he instantly turned to ashes.
Julius Reed’s left hand experienced intense pain!
As if sothing had pierced into it.
Illusion!
When the elder was burning, he was already ashes.
Yet he created an illusion, making Julius Reed believe he wasn’t dead.
And then attacked, seizing the chance to make contact with Julius Reed.
The room is frighteningly quiet.
A black line starts to appear on Julius Reed’s arm.
The black line spreads across his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It’s sowhat akin to the black line that appeared after using the pocket watch before.
But the black line from the pocket watch could be devoured by the Nether Beast.
Whether this black line can be devoured, Julius Reed is unsure.
Such entities shouldn’t have erged from the temple.
Julius Reed has dealt with the temple for so long, having never encountered it, nor heard of it.
The unknown always imposes stress on people.
Jovany Leopold is still inside the temple, hasn’t co out.
If too much ti passes, there’s the inevitable chance of danger.
Julius Reed begins to try urging Green Snake to crawl up his arm slowly, to start devouring the black line.
But to his surprise, Green Snake passes right through the black line, showing no reaction at all.
It’s as if Green Snake didn’t exist.
Julius Reed imdiately summons the Barbaric Bull, but the result is the sa.
The black line and these things simply aren’t in the sa space.
Nether Beast has no effect.
In just a minute, the black line has spread to Julius Reed’s shoulder.
In another minute, it might spread to his brain.
Now with the God’s Eye, Julius Reed isn’t much afraid of these things.
With such a robust body, it’s almost impossible for soone to take it away.
The pain in his hand continues.
Julius Reed glances at it, and finds a silver needle stuck in his hand.
When he saw the elder’s illusion appear before, his hand was grasping the silver needle.
Only after the elder disappeared and the black line appeared did he overlook his hand.
Now, Julius Reed takes a closer look.
This silver needle seems familiar.
Not that he saw it before, but at the Dusty Platform, he used it to regain his mory.
Just like Hiddy’s mory, and Pranay Martinez trying to preserve Julius Reed’s mory back in Gonzalez City.
This silver needle is likely a carrier of mory.
And the black line, perhaps, is mory.
Or rather, a person’s soul.
If that’s the case, then it’s normal for the Nether Beast to have no reaction.
mory doesn’t belong to the Nether Palace or the temple, nor is it the sa kind as the Nether Beast.
Julius Reed imdiately urges the Evil Qi within to form a protective layer at the brain.
The four divine beasts circle around constantly, establishing an independent zone.
When Dragon Dance tried to control Julius Reed in the past, it was deceived by this thod.
Those controlling intentions were all bound within this region, unable to interfere with Julius Reed’s thoughts and decisions.
Julius Reed decides to use the sa thod to try it out.
Anyway, the black line can’t be stopped.
As ti passes, the black line finally reaches his brain.
The mont it touches the head, the black line disperses.
As if it never appeared.
Julius Reed sits cross-legged in the temple, entering a vacant state.
He watches the black line turn into clouds of mist, entering the space where the four Nether Beasts rotate.
And then, it transforms into a humanoid shape.
A young boy.
Julius Reed tries to make contact, to retrieve the mories inside.
But when he slightly touches it, the boy inside suddenly becos agitated.
Like grabbing onto a lifeline, he lunges at him!
Julius Reed swiftly severs the Divine Sense, severing the connection with the mory.
If he tries to read it, there might be a risk involved.
Years ago, to defeat him, the Prophet tried inserting another persona within Julius Reed, nad Osher Reed.
This Osher Reed was almost opposite to Julius Reed; selfish, treacherous, vile in actions but committed every evil.
This severely conflicted with the normal Julius Reed.
When doing anything, the decisions of two minds, two personas were completely opposite.
Due to contrasting personalities, just like two vehicles heading in opposite directions, Julius Reed was constantly in turmoil every mont.
Fortunately, he directly severed all of his mories.
Starting over.
This also led to him having large segnts of mory completely blank.
Regarding matters before the temple, he could only rember so much.
And years later, as that mory interfered once more, Julius Reed went along with it and, under Pranay Martinez’s plan, chose amnesia.
This ti, he must be cautious, avoiding repeating the previous blunder.
After pondering montarily, Julius Reed decides to go back and rescue Jovany Leopold first.
But as soon as he stands, he hesitates once again.
With everything inside unclear, how can he guarantee he can certainly bring Jovany Leopold out without clarifying things?
"I’m trying to communicate with you now."
Through the Nether Beast, Julius Reed transmits his intentions over.
Every mory is actually an independent person.
The entities inside the temple are akin to these mories.
But different from mory, they have but one command in their minds, to kill!
As for evolution, it’s likely sothing Trent Marsh and Silvio Reed did not foresee, where simple Nether entities would continually kill people, occupy human bodies and then develop intelligence and evolve.
Perhaps the presence of the Divine Domain was a compensatory asure after its discovery.
"Why can’t I occupy you!"
Within the space, the figure coalesced from mory roars angrily.
He is unwilling, disappointed, and eventually begins to rage!
The mory reverts to black smoke, rampaging inside Julius Reed’s head!
Yet ultimately, it’s rely mory, lacking any destructive force.
After a period of racing around, it becos exhausted, forced to accept the reality.
"In my mind, I can erase you anyti." Julius Reed waits a bit, speaks once the mory returns to human form.
"Who are you! Why did I fail! I tried so many tis and not once did I fail! Even if you’re a martial arts master, you couldn’t make fail!"
The mory transforms back into a young man, shouting angrily.
"Now, let’s chat." Julius Reed senses this mory isn’t simple.
To rescue Jovany Leopold, he must start with this mory.
