They needed Jared''s physical body, which would lose a ton of value if he were dead.
    “Yes, I understand,” Segundo replied with a nod.
    He stepped forward and pointed his sword at Jared as he taunted him, “Your girlfriend looks fragile, but
    she can really take a beating! You saw the video, didn''t you? She didn''t even make a sound throughout
    the entire process!”
    Jared narrowed his eyes as a strong murderous intent surged through his body.
    “I will make you regret everything you''ve done...” he said, the Dragonyer Sword slowly appearing in
    his right hand.
    Everyone in the area could feel the intense energy and bloodlust emanating from the sword when it fully
    manifested itself.
    As Jared had long since be one with the Dragonyer Sword, the sword spirit within could feel his
    rage and was thirsting for blood.
    Just like its wielder, the Dragonyer Sword wanted nothing but to obliterate the enemy.
    For some reason, Segundo''s sword began to tremble slightly as though it were scared of Jared''s
    Dragonyer Sword.
    “T-Take this!” he yelled anxiously as he charged at Jared.
    I have to make a move before my fear overwhelms me! I will be at a huge disadvantage if I sumb to
    fear in battle! I need to strike first to gain control over this fight! There''s a chance that I''ll lose if I let him
    make the first move, and I cannot risk letting that happen!
    Like an arrow zooming through the air, Segundo''s sword energy made a loud whistling noise as he thrust
    it at Jared with all his might.
    Instead of scrambling to defend himself, Jared effortlessly swung his Dragonyer Sword and sent a
    powerful sword energy wave in Segundo''s direction.
    However, Segundo''s sword energy was razor sharp and concentrated, so it was able to pierce right
    through that wave of sword energy with ease.
    Despite having his attack countered so easily, Jared maintained a neutral expression as he activated
    Golem Body.
    A golden light quickly surrounded Jared''s body and protected him like an imprable suit of armor.
    A huge spark formed when Segundo''s sword energy came into contact with Jared''s Golem Body, but all
    it did was damage a few of its scales.
    Segundo''s eyes went wide with shock and disbelief when he saw that Jared waspletely unharmed.
    He tried to make a hasty retreat when he realized he was in dangerously close range, but Jared was
    faster as he sent yet another sword energy wave in his direction.

    Segundo desperately sent out a flurry of sword flowers in an attempt to block Jared''s sword energy wave
    but to no avail.
    Jared''s sword energy wave was so powerful that it shattered all the sword flowers in an instant as it
    continued to travel forward without losing momentum.
    Not only was Segundo knocked down by the sword energy wave, but his clothes were also torn as a
    result.
    “Is that all you''ve got?” Jared asked coldly, ring at Segundo.
    Everyone was shocked when they saw how Jared had knocked him down in an instant.
    After all, the ck Silver Robe members of the Warriors Alliance were highly confident in their ability to
    defeat Jared with ease.
    Being the leader of the ck Silver Robe, Primero was especially stunned by Jared''s disy of strength.
    “Fall back, Segundo! You''re no match for him!” he ordered.
    However, Segundo was so consumed by rage that he refused to back down. Determined to get back at
    Jared, he yelled at the top of his lungs, “No! I will defeat this guy no matter what!”
    His body exuded a faint ck mist as a shadowy figure appeared next to him and slowly ovepped with
    his body.
    Segundo''s expression became incredibly vicious as the strength of his aura increased.
