My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2737

Fogort crouched down to avoid the first wave of sword rain, then quickly pulled out the talismans in his hand.

"Golden Light!"

A golden light enveloped Fogort.

Using this defensive talisman, he mitigated the next wave of sword rain. However, this was not a long-term solution. The talismans in his hand and the true energy within him could not withstand such consumption.

Hence, he planned to test the extraordinary ability of the Chaos Talisman and see if he could truly unleash its potential.

At that moment, he wanted to make a genuine attempt.

...

On the day he inherited the Chaos Talisman, he felt completely unambitious. Though the Chaos Talisman had no power over him, he did not feel anything special toward it. Then, the Chaos Talisman showed him something—his own destiny.

Logically, he should not have been able to glimpse his own fate; it was something that defied the natural order. However, the Chaos Talisman seemed to act out of a sense of vengeance, revealing everything about his present and future to Fogort.

This was the reason Fogort wanted to change something. Years passed, and he encountered a few scenes not written in his fate. Nonetheless, the outcomes remained the same, with no real changes.

Thus, when he faced off against Alistair, he fought fiercely simply because he found such a life utterly devoid of enjoyment.

He understood the fates of Nash and Tamsine, as well as how their destinies intertwined with his. Faced with the helplessness of fate, all he felt was resignation and sadness. Yet he managed to live to this moment.

"Thunder!"

Several bolts of lightning shot toward Itzae. At that moment, Itzae also conjured a talisman from his hand. He summoned five types of lightning in response. However, this time, Itzae chose not to clash with Fogort's lightning.

Instead, he evaded the oncoming bolts and charged straight toward Fogort.

Itzae understood that he needed to defend himself first. As a soul, he could withstand attacks far better than the corporeal Fogort.

Therefore, since they could only remain in a stalemate, it made more sense to directly attack his opponent.

When Fogort saw the lightning coming toward him, he froze for a moment. Then, the usually calm Fogort made a bold decision.
