Chapter 2512 Great Calamity
All these years, Ira had always taken great care of Emily, never once reprimanding her.
While they were not related by blood, they were just like family.
Ira seemingly sensed Emily's anguish. Her initially glacial and forbidding look eased slightly, and she
coaxed, “Go out first, Emily. I really have something important to say to Jared. He even has trouble
standing up at present, so he wouldn't be able to lift his weapon even if you were to give it to him. So,
just leave it for now.”
“Okay.” Emily nodded before glancing at Jared. Jared also motioned for her to step out.
Despite having no idea what Ira wanted to discuss with him, he surmised that the elderly lady meant
him no harm. After all, he had been unconscious for several days, and she would have acted ages ago
if that had been her intention.

of oppression emanating from her.
“Who exactly are you?” Ira demanded.
“And who are you?” Jared countered.
He found it incredulous that Ira was a demon yet living in a small mountain village occupied by
humans.
Aware that the man had discovered her identity, Ira answered frankly, “I'm a demon spirit from Scarlet
Blood Castle. Our clan of demon spirits was being hunted down, so I went into hiding in this small
mountain village here for decades.”
Jared found her pretty honest. While he had no idea where Scarlet Blood Castle was, much less why
the demon spirits from Scarlet Blood Castle were being hunted, she did not seem to be lying to him.
“I'm someone from the mundane world,” Jared likewise divulged.
Right after he had said so, Ira retorted loudly, “Nonsense! How could you possibly be from the
mundane world when you're in possession of the Divine Bow? That's a divine weapon in Ethereal
Realm! Countless people wanted it, but they all failed to obtain it. How could someone like you from the
mundane world have it?”
In Ira's perspective, innumerable people with immense capabilities in Ethereal Realm wanted to get
their hands on the Divine Bow. Yet, they all failed to do so. Therefore, it made no sense that Jared
could obtain it so easily if he were from the mundane world.
“I'm indeed from the mundane world. As for how I came into possession of the Divine Bow, that's none
of your business, and I have no comments on that.”
Despite believing that the elderly woman would not harm him, he could not possibly tell her everything.
“So, what's with your injuries? Your blood essence was close to exhaustion, your meridians shattered,
your spiritual sense damaged, and your elixir field depleted. Right now, you're just an empty shell. I

would've long since been dead!” Ira drawled.
“I was injured by an enemy in the mundane world. As for how I ended up here, I'm not sure either. All I
know is that I was sucked into a black hole. Then, I appeared here, saved by Emily,” Jared admitted.
Ira said nothing, a frown marring her countenance. A long while passed before she uttered, “I'll allow
you to stay here since you once saved Emily. In your current condition, you'll die if you go out. As for
the Divine Bow, I had Emily hide it. In your weak state, it'll only bring you disaster. When you've
recovered, I'll have her return it to you. Don't worry, for I'll never covet it though it's a divine weapon.”
With that said, she pivoted and headed out of the room. When she reached the door, she abruptly
halted and added, “Although you're now awake, you can't simply roam around, let alone leave Rock
Village, lest you bring great calamity upon the villagers here!”
