My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2751

The Heaven-Shaking Tome could open an array without any conditions. However, there were side effects whereby continuous openings of arrays might lead to some backlash against the user.

This backlash was not a punishment from the heavens but rather a result of excessive consumption of true energy.

For someone like Nash, who possessed top-tier strength, he could simply open an array when he wanted. Nash’s true energy was definitely not something that was easily exhausted.

Dusky was now in a dilemma. Opening an array was no easy feat, and he risked injuring himself before even activating it. If that happened, Nash could easily defeat him. It looked like he had indeed run into a tough opponent. The fact that Nash was able to make him look like a fool showed just how formidable he was.

However, Dusky was not someone to be easily dealt with. He had a backup plan. In his previous attacks, he had used moderate force not because he could not kill Johnathan but because he wanted to leave a mark.

The mark was so that he could possess Johnathan again in the depths of the mountain.

Nash never would have expected his master, who was outside the formation, to become a mark. This allowed Dusky to escape from his array. Seeing his master possessed again, Nash felt a mix of tension and anger. “Who the hell are you?! Get down here!”

Nash was about to open another array when Dusky stopped him. "Mr. Calcraft, I'd advise you against that. One more sudden move and I'll kill your master."

This threat was meant to intimidate Nash. Of course, he had no intention of actually killing Johnathan. He just wanted Nash to comply for the time being.

Unable to do anything, Nash could only release the array. When he did, Dusky said, "I know you're reluctant, but this is fate. Remember what I said—regardless of it being you or me, our fates have already been determined."

Then, holding onto Johnathan's body. He disappeared from Nash's very eyes. "I'll be borrowing your master's body for a while, Mr. Calcraft. I'd like to advise you that now is not the time to come after me. You heard what I said when I was controlling your body. Alright now, let's go and see the final result."

"It's happening again..."

Fogort walked toward the tower resolutely. There seemed to be a hint of sadness along with the calm in his eyes.

As he continued forward, Nash rushed to his side from in front of him.

"Fogort! Where are they?"

"I killed them all."
