The mysterious elder exudes an eerie aura.
Before this, Julius Reed had killed some entities that walked out from the temple.
Back in Gonzalez City, Old Eight was possessed by things inside, but was killed all the same.
Yet today's elder is entirely different from those before.
Red flames 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 flames, 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 something 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.
