Chapter 2488
Roscoe reluctantly looped his arm around Jarrod’s neck.
Observing Roscoe’s reluctance, Nicole chided, “Stop acting like a child.
”
Roscoe quietly responded, “I’m not.
” This resistance wasn’t about being uncooperative.
He simply didn’t want to be further indebted to Jarrod, which he felt undermined his position when facing Nicole.
Jarrod, hearing Nicole’s reprimand, felt his anger lessen and agreed.
“You are being difficult.
”
Exasperated, Roscoe’s face darkened even more.
Nicole hastily said, “Can we please just get moving?”
At last, Jarrod stopped piquing and signaled to Alec and his team.
“Let’s move out.
”
Just then, Nicole noticed the senior man’s body was overrun by parasites, a ghastly and pitiful sight.
It was clear there was no saving him now.
Nicole realized that refusing to stay in the tree any longer was the senior man’s choice, a choice made after fulfilling his need for vengeance, leaving him with no desire to continue Living.
As dawn began to break, Alec and the others approached Jarrod.
The senior man, standing suddenly, held a fuse and yelled defiantly, “These cursed insects will die with me!”
The senior man swiftly pulled the fuse, igniting the oil he had spread earlier, sending flames tearing through the pre-dug trenches, quickly encircling them in fire.
The senior man schemed to encircle the parasites with fire to prevent them from harming others.
Nicole finally understood the reason behind the senior man’s insistence that she leave before dawn.
He had orchestrated the timing to eradicate the parasites alongside himself.
“Run!” Nicole yelled.
Startled by the flames, the parasites halted their chase, dispersing in all directions.
Jarrod, carrying Roscoe, sprinted swiftly, with Alec and the others close behind.
They soon found an exit and hurried through.
After they departed the area, the flames swiftly converged, engulfing the hidden base of the witch clan.
Several witches, who had managed to flee but not far enough, were frozen in terror, clinging to one another, weeping.
Nicole observed the ferocious blaze, hoping it would eradicate not only the parasites but also the malevolent practices that these witches did.
The fire started to spread to the ancient trees encircling the site.noveldrama
If these millennia-old behemoths were to catch fire, the inferno would become unstoppable.
