The Man’s Decree – Chapter 6280

Jared caught the pull of an irresistible force tearing at his awareness, trying to strip his soul out of this body. It felt like an invisible hand had closed around his throat. He couldn't breathe. He couldn't fight back. He could only watch as he was dragged, little by little, down into the abyss.

"Give it up, child," the phantom said, with a thin note of pity in his voice. "Your body is mine."

Then the Aureate Codex suddenly flared. Not that soft glow from before.

This was blinding, scorching golden radiance, fierce as the sun itself. That radiance turned into golden pillars of light and shot straight at the ice-blue phantom hanging above the consciousness field.

The phantom's face changed on the spot, and he threw open his ice-wings to block it. But the force inside those golden pillars of light was far too terrifying.
