My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 2197

Nevertheless, Sterling still had to wait for backup support to arrive. After all, the two of them were no match for Diloth now. Although both of them had the Curse of Immortality, they were still losing true energy, so they had no choice but to prolong the fight.

At this time, someone was talking to Diloth.

"Master Zirconia… What's wrong?"

"Malvol is now flying toward the Northern Territory. It seems that the guy has found out what he was always concerned about."

"What? But in this case, the giant tree..."

"It doesn't matter. Currently, there are no existing entities in the Southern Territory that can destroy the giant tree. I'm just here to remind you—don't forget your deal with Malvol. I believe he will contact you soon."

"Oh, I see. Understood, Master Zirconia." Then, Diloth cut off the call.

"Ah, it seems that we can no longer continue this game… What a pity..."

Then, a terrifying amount of true energy erupted, and the sky turned black.

Sterling and Xenith looked at the ominous shadow in front of them warily.

Sterling hurriedly shouted to Xenith, "Shit! Run! Get out of the black shadow’s range!"

"All—" Before Xenith could even finish speaking, the two of them were swallowed by darkness.

…

In the Eastern Territory where Kalo was, Lord Torrich gasped as he felt the power exuded from Nash.

"Why is that thing here..."

He shot a glance at Harkin and Threshmund, and they both flew toward Nash.

These immortals were very powerful, indeed. However, in essence, it was just a soul overlapping another soul. The immortal's true energy would replace the possessed person's true energy.

However, it was not entirely accurate to call this process a replacement. It was more accurate to call it a conversion of true energy.

The possessed person's true energy would be converted into a level that the immortal could adapt to, so there would not be a rejection when the immortal's soul entered the body.

At that point, two types of true energy could be merged seamlessly. The giant trees could not absorb this impure, processed true energy. This was why they were so confident.

However, even if the giant trees could not absorb the true energy, it did not mean that Arlan could not.

Earlier, Arlan made a switch with his actual physical body inside the giant tree. The six elders were also the reason why the giant trees could absorb true energy. Due to the large surface area, the giant trees' absorption rate was quite slow.

However, if they only needed to absorb one person's true energy, it would only take a short time to finish the job quickly. In other words, every time Arlan came into contact with Lord Torrich, he absorbed a large amount of his strength.

Lord Torrich noticed this and hurriedly retreated, but it seemed that he was too late.
