Even the sound of burning flames cannot cover it up.
John, Brian heard it.
Edward, who was closer, naturally heard it too.
Even Edward had deeper feelings.
He could clearly feel that his cane was leaving him.
Immediately, Edward stopped the flames and looked anxiously.
He absolutely does not want anything to go wrong with his cane. You must know that this cane is a high-level item that can only be used through a 'ritual'. Even Edward once spent all his wealth to find only three pieces in total.
Therefore, when he saw clearly that Jason, whose whole body was charred, was chewing heavily with a cane that should have been inserted into his chest in one hand, the expression of the former uncrowned king of Cherry City immediately changed.
He raised his hand and pointed at Jason.
He hopes to use the power he gained through the 'ritual' to bind Jason.
But, it's of no use at all.
Compared to the power of the 'cane', the power gained from this 'ritual' was too childish for Jason.
On the contrary, Edward's actions also attracted Jason's attention.
Burned by the flames and covered in darkness, Jason stuffed the remaining cane into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and spit out the dregs of the cane.
Then, he grinned at Edward.
The corners of Jason's mouth were split straight to the base of his ears, and his pale teeth shone coldly under the streetlights.
"Roasted sugar cane, delicious."
Jason said in a low voice.
Edward was startled.
He didn't expect Jason to say such words.
In other words, he never thought that his 'cane' could be eaten.
You must know that his 'cane' is extremely strong and is not afraid of flames and ice. It can not only be used as a 'sword', but can also restrain opponents.
But now he was eaten by Jason?!
In disbelief, Edward looked at Jason, who was dressed in black, half lifting his mask because of chewing, and gaping at himself, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
This is his body's instinct, not his will.
It's like walking in the wilderness and suddenly encountering a hungry wolf... No, it's not a wolf.
It's Tyrannosaurus rex!
A hungry Tyrannosaurus rex!
Edward stared at Jason, stunned in surprise.
Jason didn't.
call!
The next moment, Jason launched [Charge] and rushed towards Edward like an arrow from a string.
The speed was so fast that Edward didn't react at all.
A flash of cold light!
Edward felt a pain in his right hand.
When he came to his senses, he realized that his right hand was gone.
He was chopped off by the broad-bladed machete.
The palm was held by Jason.
"ah!"
Edward couldn't help crying out in pain.
Jason pulled off the ruby ring and threw Edward's severed hand away in disgust.
Then, Jason's hand flashed with flames.
High temperature sterilization is always right.
Then, he threw the ring directly into his mouth.
Crunch, crunch.
The familiar sound of chewing sounded again.
Different from the roasted sugar cane smell of the previous cane, this fire gemstone ring is a bit...spicy.
However, it is quite delicious.
It's like tiger eggs dipped in chili oil.
The outer skin was slightly crispy, but the egg white inside was extremely elastic. When he bit into the yolk, the soft texture made Jason's eyes light up.
But what surprised Jason the most was that the caramel flavor of the roasted sugar cane that still lingered in his mouth actually mixed with the spiciness, turning it into a very special sweet and spicy taste.

"tasty!"
Jason couldn't help but comment again.
It was completely worthy of the fact that he had just been burned by flames and died three times in a row.
No!
It is more than enough!
After dying three times, he could taste such delicious food again. Jason was really willing to do it again. If there was a time limit for such a 'death', he hoped it would be ten thousand times.
The delicious taste stimulates Jason's brain.
His eyes couldn't help but look at Edward, who was holding his wrist and slowly retreating.
The other party still smells of ‘food’!
Without the 'ritual' cover, Jason's nose is functioning as it should!
In addition to the cane and ruby ring, the other party also has 'food' on him!
Moreover, it is a more fragrant ‘food’ than walking sticks and ruby rings!
"Don't come over here!"
"stop!"
"I……"
Before Edward could finish his words, Jason slashed his neck with a knife.
There was a unique feeling of cutting flesh and blood on the blade, but Edward did not die.
He just staggered and fell to the ground.
And this 'death' also made Edward completely calm down.
Looking at Jason with surprise in his eyes, Edward sneered.
"Do you think you can kill me?"
"I am the king!"
"The country of Cherry City..."
Before Edward could finish his words, Jason took action again. He grabbed Edward's ankles, treated him like a sandbag, swung it up and smashed it to the ground.
Bang!
With a heavy voice, Edward was knocked to the ground by Jason's huge strength.
Immediately, cracks appeared on the asphalt road, as well as large pools of blood.
However, Edward did not die.
Even if the other party bleeds a lot and has a flat head, the other party is still alive.
Jason turned around without hesitation and slammed Edward to the other side of his body again.
Bang!
In perception, Edward is still alive.
Jason turned around again, grabbed Edward's ankles and threw Edward back.
Bang bang bang!
Over the next minute or so, Edward was hit from left to right and hit on the ground dozens of times.
Not only was the head smashed into mud, but the upper body had already disappeared when Jason threw it.
However, the moment Jason let go, Edward's legs stood up, and the flesh and blood scattered around quickly gathered around him.
In just one breath, Edward returned to his original appearance, including his previously broken right hand.
Even the clothes were intact.
"Oh."
"Surprised?"
"Like you, I also left myself a lot of trump cards."
Edward chuckled.
"Although you came into contact with 'mysterious knowledge' earlier than me, my talent is even better, and I also have wealth far beyond your imagination. When I got it, you must have been in a lot of pain, right? You
You want to get it, but you also want me to finish all the arrangements for you and then take advantage of it!"
"But what?"
"I still found out your plan!"
"You'll never get it!"
Edward looked proud, as if he was proving his strength to Jason, he reached out and dug into his arms.
The next moment, a book appeared on Edward's right finger.
The book is not big and the thickness is average. It is only about the size of an ordinary person's palm, just like a pocket book.
The cover of the book is dark yellow. Because Edward held the book upright and blocked it with his fingers, Jason couldn't see anything else clearly, but Jason could clearly smell the strong smell of 'food' on it.
Edward, on the other hand, gently turned the pages of the book.
This is his trump card.
Among his three props, the most powerful one!
It is also the core of all his plans!
pity……
failed.
However, as long as it is there, he will definitely make a comeback.
Edward believed so firmly.
"Although I was laid out by you, I failed this time, but you also failed."
"We are tied!"
Edward said this while flipping through the pages of the book, but immediately the former uncrowned king of Cherry City shook his head.
"No."
"We are not tied!"
"I own it, and when faced with that incident, I still have room to turn."
"And you?"
"A narrow escape from death!"
"So...it's me who wins!"
Edward said extremely arrogantly.
Especially when he saw Jason's eyes fixed on the book in his hand, the heat in his eyes showed.
Edward was even more proud.
Then, the former defending king of Cherry City spread out his hand, with the book still lying flat in his palm, and just sent it forward.
"Want it?"
"Come and get it."
Edward stared at Jason maliciously.
Although he won, he also lost two high-level props.
He was really not willing to leave like this.
So, he wants to humiliate Jason!
Although he can't kill Jason, he can still humiliate his opponent!
Moreover, only by severely humiliating Jason can he erase his unwillingness and make him happy.
Facing the 'food' so close at hand, Jason tried hard to restrain his 'appetite'. He stared at Edward and the book in his hand with scrutiny.
As an enemy, would Edward be so generous?
Naturally it's impossible.
Either a humiliation or a trap.
Judging from the current situation, the former is even greater.
"A guy who thinks he has great talent and has easily accomplished some impossible things by relying on the power of the 'mysterious side', then becomes arrogant. In fact, he has no more practical experience and is only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
At the last moment, in order to save face and prove your victory, are you trying to trick me?"
Jason thought in his heart and looked at the book in the other person's hand.
The book in the palm of my hand at this moment has the back cover pushed up and the cover clasped in the palm of my hand.
And just when Jason looked at the book in his palm, Edward turned the book over in cooperation.
The cover rushes up.
"Cross Street Stalker"!
When the title appeared, Jason felt surprised in his heart.
But immediately, Jason deduced that the 'ritual' in which Edward reappeared as a 'copycat' to make up for "Cross Street Stalker" actually had this book as the 'core'!
Use this book as the ‘core’!
Then this book...can create the world?!
Following this speculation, Jason's breathing became rapid involuntarily.
What would a world-creating ‘food’ taste like?
How much satiety and excitement can it bring to oneself?
However, on the surface, Jason remained calm and only expressed his longing for 'food'.
But this is too simple for Jason now.
He himself is attracted by 'food'.
Jason's expression really made Edward feel comfortable.
Edward seemed to have completely forgotten that his 'ritual' had been interrupted, the two high-end props had been lost, and a lot of hard work had been wasted. He now wanted to see the unfulfilling look in Jason's eyes.
"Is it painful?"
Edward asked with a smile.
Then, the defending king of Cherry City seemed to throw the book in his hand towards Jason just to be happier.
Jason didn't answer, but instinctively dodged sideways.
Snap!
The book fell to the ground.
Jason slowly approached the book. After confirming that there was no danger on it, he tentatively reached out to touch the book.
Then, he put his finger through it.
It is obviously a physical book, but my fingers cannot touch it at all.
I tried it several times in a row and it still happened like this.
At this time, Edward couldn't bear it anymore.
"Hahaha!"
Edward laughed out loud.
In that laughter, Edward's body leaned forward and back, obviously extremely happy.
Since Edward dared to throw his most important prop, he was absolutely sure of it.
When Edward obtained this special prop, he completed a 'ritual' bond with it, and in the days that followed, he performed several special 'rituals' for safety reasons.
Under these layers of rituals, this prop has already become a prop that is impossible for others to come into contact with.
Likewise, let him call you.
Without speaking, just following Edward's thoughts, the book that had just fallen to the ground flew back into Edward's hands.
Jason witnessed the whole process with his own eyes.
He noticed the difference right away.
He could clearly see that the shadow of the 'book' and the shadow of Edward were always connected to everything.
shadow?
Jason narrowed his eyes.
"How stupid!"
"You just found out?"
"This is the power of shadow that is extremely rare."
Edward said proudly, and then he continued in a self-effacing tone:
"Of course, I did not master such a special power. I just used the 'ritual' and borrowed its own power - the power of shadow!"
"I'm afraid you only know that it can build a new 'world' through rituals, but you don't know that the world created in this way is a shadow world, right?"
"yes."
"How could you possibly know?"
"You, a guy with average talent, don't have more wealth."
"Look at what you look like now."
"It really makes people feel pity!"
Saying these words, Edward once again threw the 'book' in his hand towards Jason.
Snap!
Just like before, Jason dodged sideways and the 'book' fell to the ground.
Seeing Jason's dodge, the corners of Edward's mouth turned up.
It was like he was watching a monkey show.
And when Jason cautiously approached the 'book' again and tentatively touched the 'book', the most joyful moment of the monkey show had arrived. Edward couldn't wait, and a comfortable smile was about to bloom from the upturned corner of his mouth.
Jason placed his fingers on the surface of the cover.
