Upon seeing Jared, Catalina felt a momentary daze. Feeling the warmth of Jared’s chest and seeing his affectionate gaze, Catalina felt herself about to succumb to him.
She didn’t understand. They had only just met, so why would Jared care for her so much?
“I’m fine…” Catalina looked at Jared and gave a slight smile.
Jared followed Catalina’s gaze, slowly moving closer.
Catalina’s heart began to race. She knew what Jared was about to do. He was going to kiss her.
Catalina wanted to dodge, but she found she couldn’t move at all. Her body had no strength left.
In the end, Catalina could only close her eyes and wait for Jared’s kiss, and at that moment, she surprisingly felt a bit of anticipation deep within her heart.
Buzz…
Suddenly, a golden light burst from Catalina’s palm, accompanied by a humming sound in her sea of consciousness, and Catalina regained her awareness.
She realized that Jared hadn’t embraced her at
all, let alone tried to kiss her.
It was all an illusion, and at this moment, Jared was still watching her from a distance.
Catalina couldn’t comprehend how she ended up having such illusions. Thankfully, no one else knew about it. Otherwise, she would have died of embarrassment.
“D*mn it! That was close… I almost made a fool out of myself…”
Fuming, Catalina glared angrily at the three statues, then slapped one of them with her palm.
Smack!
When Catalina struck the statue with her palm, surprisingly, the statue didn’t move an inch.
Catalina then remembered that she had no spiritual energy left in her body, and she didn’t possess any sword intent to break free from the illusion. She could only rely on the rune in her palm.
However, when everyone saw that Catalina had not fainted and had been knocked down by the illusion, they were all quite surprised, but no one dared to approach.
“Ms. Lantz, let me…”
Rightblind, seeing this, swung his sword, and a surge of sword intent rose with it.
Boom!
The sword’s intent fiercely struck the statue, causing it to shatter instantly.
After–the statue shattered, a dagger was surprisingly hidden inside it. The dagger appeared entirely blood-red, and even a bloody smell emanated from it.
“What is this?”
Catalina reached out to grab the dagger, but Jared swiftly stopped her.
“Ms. Lantz, don’t touch this object. This dagger is imbued with a very lethal intent. Your current condition cannot withstand it.”
The moment the dagger appeared, Jared sensed a lethal intent emanating from it.
If everyone’s strength hadn’t been suppressed, the sinister aura on the dagger might not have caused any harm.
However, they were all ordinary people now, and even a small amount of lethal intent entering their bodies would be unbearable.
Catalina looked at Jared, then withdrew her hand. She had already begun to trust him.
“Daemonia Dagger… This is a divine weapon from the celestial realm…”
A middle-aged man in a black robe suddenly shouted excitedly, then rushed over desperately, trying to grab the dagger.
Upon seeing the situation, Rightblind swiftly extended his longsword, blocking the middle- aged mah in the black robe. He coldly stated, “D*mn it. This is something Ms. Lantz discovered. How dare you touch it?”
The middle-aged man in the black robe was taken aback, immediately stepping back twice. They had all witnessed Rightblind shattering the stone statue with a single sword strike.
In this place where spiritual energy was sealed, the fact that Rightblind still possessed such strength naturally instilled fear in him.
The elderly who had just spoken stated, “This statue was indeed broken by you, but we discovered it first. If you say this thing belongs to you, we won’t accept it.”
He had risked his life to retreat just a moment ago. Now, there was a divine weapon inside the stone statue, yet they couldn’t get them. Who wouldn’t be frustrated by this?.
“Exactly. We were the ones who discovered the statue first…”
