Chapter 63 Crimson Onyx Sect

 

Amber felt a wave of relief wash over her as the hallucinations had ceased their assault on her. At that point, Jonathan was weak beyond measure. He had lost too much blood and could not support his body’s functions for much longer.

 

“How are you, Jonathan?” asked Amber with a tone of concern as she wiped a trickle of blood off the corner of her lips.

Jonathan’s eyes opened, and he saw Amber’s pretty face gradually drift into focus before him. He smiled weakly. “This isn’t enough to kill me.”

Seeing that he could still afford to joke around, Amber breathed a sigh of relief. Yet, confusion soon crossed her mind. “I’m not sure why, but my hallucinations have disappeared.”

 

Jonathan chuckled softly before explaining, “Of course, they’ve disappeared. Felicia’s objective here is to weaken me drastically. She wanted to carve out an opportunity to defeat me. Now that I lack the ability to resist, it’s only natural for her to stop making things difficult for you.”

 

The words were barely out of his mouth when Felicia suddenly appeared and glowered coldly at Jonathan. Meanwhile, Amber’s slender frame trembled in fear as she looked at Felicia timidly. Still, she summoned some courage to stand in front of Jonathan in a vain attempt to shield him. She declared, “I won’t let you harm him!”

“Do you really think you can stop me?” asked Felicia coldly.

 

That rendered Amber speechless. Deep down, she knew there was no way she could successfully ward off Felicia. It was then that Jonathan irritably yelled at Felicia, “Damn, b*tch! Just kill me already if that’s what you want. What’s with all the bullsh*t and nonsense you’re spouting?”

Felicia stared wide-eyed at Jonathan. “Are you truly not afraid of death?”

The latter fell quiet momentarily before replying with a faint smile, “Does having a fear of death preclude me from dying? No. So, why should I be afraid?”

 

“I’m going to give you a choice right now. Only one of you can walk out of here alive. The choice of who lives and who dies is purely up to you. How’s that?” asked Felicia.

Amber immediately blurted out, “Let Jonathan go. You can do whatever you want with me.”

However, Felicia ignored Amber and continued to gaze steadily at Jonathan.
