I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 61 Illusions Can Kill Too

Felicia laughed with a sinister tone. Then, she suddenly stopped herself and said, “So you think you’re

that protagonist then?”

Jonathan adjusted his posture and flicked the dust off his clothes. He was initially stressed by the

situation, but after hearing Felicia’s words, he felt relieved all of a sudden.

Before this, he was very vigilant and watchful. Now he looked completely at ease. It was as though

there was no more danger around. With a chuckle, Jonathan replied, “Between us, you’re the evil one

and I stand for righteousness. Of course I’m the protagonist.”

Felicia scoffed and replied, “You’re good at consoling yourself. Even if I’m not the protagonist, I am still

the trial that every character must pass to progress in the story. With your limited skills, you can’t

possibly be the protagonist who can pass me. To me, you’re just a cannon fodder.”

Amber, who was at the side, was completely baffled. She didn’t understand why Jonathan had let his

guard down and become relaxed at the situation. She could feel that both of them were going to perish

at the hands of Felicia as she was very powerful. We can’t escape no matter how we try!

Amber simply could not understand Jonathan’s action at all.

Jonathan replied, “Felicia, let’s not talk nonsense now. I’m your only chance to leave this place safely,

that’s why you didn’t kill me. You have the ability to do so, but you didn’t. You are aware of how the

Heavenly Laws work, therefore this can’t be the place you want to stay for long.” He stopped for a while

and continued, “You don’t trust me but you need to take the risk, right?”

Amber finally realized what was going on after hearing Jonathan’s words, and why he looked so

relaxed. She also felt ashamed of herself for not being half as intelligent as he was. She thought that

Jonathan was really smart – he could anticipate what would happen and see through the nature of

things.

As Amber was secretly admiring Jonathan, Felicia gave a scoff and said, “You are being arrogant and

egotistical! You have no leverage or right to negotiate with me. If I want to leave, I’ll just need to

cultivate more. When the time is right, I’ll be able to get out of here with the treasure.”

“Enough of that nonsense, Felicia!” Jonathan sneered back at her and said, “You can lie to anyone but

I don’t believe a single word you say. You’re a wandering soul and do not have a real existence. The

distance from here to the woods is about a few thousand miles. If you were to fly there, the mere sound

of thunder will be enough to rattle your soul into pieces. Do you have any idea how terrifying the

heavenly tribulations are? I don’t think you’ll ever have enough power to protect yourself against it. “ He

paused himself to let his words sink in before continuing, “I don’t deny the fact that there are some

demons in remote places that have taken many thousand years to cultivate special powers. Even then,

they never even dare to come out from those remote places as they are afraid of the tribulations of the

Heavenly Laws. In comparison, how many years of cultivation do you have?”

Felicia flew into a rage as Jonathan spoke the truth. “You are just an ordinary man who is too arrogant.

Even if I really wanted to make use of you at first, I’ve changed my mind.”

When Amber heard this, her hand started to sweat as she held on to Jonathan’s hand.

This was like a thriller drama with its ups and downs!

Jonathan frowned; his confidence in handling the situation had faltered slightly due to Felicia’s

temperamental nature.

Moreover, she had been wronged when she was alive, causing her to die in resentment. Therefore, she

was already surrounded by a resentment aura before she died. She only regained consciousness and

got her memory back when Destino’s treasure was used to subdue her spirit. Although she had her

memory back, her character had become twisted.

Truth be told, Felicia was now existing as an entity of brainwaves, and a very powerful one indeed.

However, once this entity of brain wave flew out of the bar, it could easily get blown away by a very

strong wind, or be shattered by a roar of thunder.

This was the challenge that Felicia had to face.

Nevertheless, she was extremely powerful as long as she stayed put in Golden years.

Jonathan replied, “If that’s the case, let’s not waste any more time. You can kill us now.” He stood in

front of Amber in a protective stance the moment he finished his words. His subconscious action

touched Amber greatly.

On the other hand, Felicia was not in a hurry to kill them. “You are a very upright and sharp person, and

this makes it difficult for the evil forces to harm you. Moreover, you are not affected by the illusions. It’s

not easy for me to kill you.”

Jonathan replied, “You have turned this place into your territory. You can trap me here for eight to ten

days, and I’ll be so weak that I can’t be your match anymore. I’m very sure of that.”

Amber was confused. Are they trying to be humble toward each other?

Felicia replied, “Your vitality is very strong, and if your blood is used as a sacrifice, it can break through

different levels of illusions.”

Jonathan’s heart sank. He realized that Felicia was indeed a genius and too smart for him to

handle. This is an extremely strong opponent.

He pondered for a while and said, “Although my blood can break through illusions, you could create

stronger illusions to overcome the power of my blood.”

Amber could not take it anymore. She whispered to him, “Jonathan, what are the two of you doing? A

competitive exchange of words? If it’s a competition, it shouldn’t be done like that. It seems that you’re

proving she’ll win and she’s doing the same.”

Jonathan rolled his eyes at her and whispered back, “It’s not that I don’t want to get out of this place.

The problem is there’s no room for us to escape at all. Rather than thinking of an escape plan, it’s best

we calm ourselves down. This will stop us from being affected by her illusions.”

“But staying put won’t help either,” answered Amber.

Jonathan touched his nose and muttered, “I know it doesn’t help. Do you have any good plans then?”

Amber was dumbfounded. How can I have any plans when even a smarty like you can’t manage to

think of one?

“Well, doing nothing is actually your best plan at the moment. However, if you really decide to stay put

here for a few days, is it any different from being in my illusions?” asked Felicia intriguingly.

Jonathan got angry and cursed, “You bitch, kill us if you dare!”

That didn’t make Felicia angry. Instead, she scoffed and said, “With your cultivation level, you have a

high chance of getting out of here. As for why you’re not doing that, it’s because you’re confident you

could bring this woman out with you, right?”

Jonathan remained quiet at her words.

Amber was stunned. It was then she realized that Jonathan did not escape all because of her.

Felicia added, “You have been saying that you don’t care about this woman. However, you have put

yourself in danger many times just for her. Why don’t you admit that you love her?”

Amber’s heart beat faster when she heard what Felicia said. She already developed feelings for

Jonathan. Therefore, when she heard that he actually loved her and had done many things for her, she

was extremely touched and elated. It was a wonderful feeling for Amber.

However, while she was basking in this wonderful feeling, Jonathan popped the bubble with his reply.

“Who says I love her? I’m a man and a man is supposed to protect a woman. I’m a gentleman and it’s

my instinct to save anyone in distress. It has nothing to do with love.”

Amber was rendered speechless. Nevertheless, her feelings for him increased further.

Felicia laughed mockingly and said, “I have suddenly thought of an interesting game.”

“What comes to your mind must be a twisted game, as you are twisted too,” replied Jonathan.

Felicia laughed; her sinister laugh sounded extremely scary in the night. “Twisted? Oh yes, this game is

very twisted. I can use my illusions to influence this woman. Only your blood can help release her from

the illusion. If not, she will die. Remember! Do not stop your blood from flowing!”

“God damn you! You are really twisted,” Jonathan cursed her again.

Felicia ignored his curse and declared immediately, “We shall begin!”

Amber was so frightened that she turned pale. She closed her eyes and told herself that everything

was an illusion, and that she must not believe anything she saw.

“Do you seriously think that you can avoid my illusions if you close your eyes?” At that moment, Felicia

appeared in Amber’s mind.

In her mind, Amber’s surroundings was pitch black. She was facing Felicia alone.

Felicia, now dressed in white, stood in front of Amber and stared into Amber’s eyes broodingly.

Amber muttered in a shivering voice, “Don’t come over!”

“Jonathan is an upright and decent man. Moreover, his cultivation level is high, and therefore he can

resist my illusions. But you, do you think you can?” said Felicia.

“Enough!” answered Amber through clenched teeth. “You have already done a lot of harm. Even if your

encounter was pathetic, it doesn’t mean a thing. You have harmed so many people. Those people have

families too. To whom can they ever get a redress?”

Felicia did not seem affected by her words. Her expression still looked indifferent as she stared at

Amber intently. After a long while, she finally spoke. “You’re frightened, aren’t you? You’re trying to hide

your fear with your hysterical act, aren’t you?”

It was the truth. Felicia could see through Amber’s act. Amber started to step backward. However,

Felicia started to approach her step by step and added, “My illusions will cause you to have real

feelings, like ten thousand worms crawling on your body…”

Once Felicia stopped talking, Amber could feel something move under her feet. She lowered her head

and saw a cluster of black beetles crawling into the hem of her pants and they continued to crawl

upward.

Amber gritted her teeth and screamed, “It’s an illusion! An illusion!”

However, the beetles started to crawl all over her body, even to her private parts. She felt as though a

million insects were biting her. It was extremely painful and uncomfortable, and she could feel

goosebumps of fear all over her body.

Amber was extremely terrified. She rolled on the ground in pain and tried to open her eyes, only to

realize she couldn’t do so.

Jonathan saw Amber who was in extreme pain. He wanted to help her up and hold her in a steady

position. However, he felt that her strength had increased tremendously. It was obvious that she was

experiencing a petrifying experience.

When Jonathan saw the goosebumps on Amber’s arm, the lines on her skin looked exceptionally

horrifying.

At that moment, Felicia appeared in front of Jonathan.

“Sometimes, when people feel pain in their illusions, their nerves will really hurt. If they think they’re

dying, their nerves will die off, and they’ll be brain dead. Illusions can kill too,” said Felicia indifferently.

“Damn it!” Jonathan cursed angrily. He had no choice but to use his blood to save Amber. He bit his

finger immediately and placed his finger into Amber’s mouth.
