Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1257 Old Priest

"Ah!" Megan was hit in the back by the octagonal mirror, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.

Her gaze shifted from Alex to look behind her. "It's you again, you stubborn old priest. What, you want to trap me in that formation again? Not this time. I won't give you another chance. I'm going to tear you to pieces right now!"

The dark energy emanating from Megan was so intense that it almost enveloped the entire rooftop. Originally, Alex could discern directions in the darkness. However, he could see nothing within the dark aura, making him no different from a blind man.

Originally, Megan's speed and strength were already incredibly extraordinary. With the addition of that skill, it seemed the old priest might not be able to escape.

The old priest remained calm, sitting cross-legged on the ground. Since he couldn't see anything, he simply closed his eyes and utilized the mystic power within him to form a mystic aura shield.

Megan relentlessly struck the golden shield with her claws, aiming to shatter it before tearing the old priest into pieces.

"Kid, you've unleashed this thing. You can't just stand there and watch. We need to work together to deal with it, or we're both going to die here," the old priest said to Alex.

Given the current situation, the priest must join forces with Alex to eliminate Megan. While she might not seem to be harming the priest, his shield wouldn't last for long.

"Sir, please feel free to tell me what I can do. I will do my best to cooperate with you." Alex had great respect for the old priest. After all, if it weren't for the old priest, he might have already died from Megan's sharp claws.

After hearing the conversation

between Megan and the old priest, Alex understood that the old priest was the one who trapped Megan in the formation. I assisted the demon in breaking its seal. Therefore, if Megan escapes, it'll be equivalent to me harming the people of this city. I've witnessed her strength, and I'm certain there's a good chance she can slaughter everyone in this city in less than a day.

The old priest communicated with Alex using a special method, which Megan couldn't hear at all. She continued to pound forcefully against the golden light shield.

"Find a way to lure her downstairs. As long as you can get her into the core of the formation, you just stick the talisman on her to seal her," the old priest said.

It might sound simple, but it wasn't easy to carry out. Given how powerful Megan was, there was a good chance Alex would be killed by her because he could reach downstairs.

"Sir, don't you have any other ideas? I'm afraid this plan may not work! I fear she may kill me before I even get there!" Alex said somewhat helplessly.

Under the relentless assault of Megan, the old priest's golden shield was on the verge of breaking. Seeing that, the old priest was becoming increasingly anxious.

Thus, he said to Alex, irritated, "I

must have been unlucky in my past lives to have fun into you. Last time, I almost lost my own life trying to

deal with her. I racked my brainset

before finally trapped her in that formation, yet you broke it in just a week! I'm so p*ssed off that I want to kill you, yet you dare to negotiate with me! Hurry up and lead her away, or I'll be the one to end up dead here!"

Listening to the old priest's

frustrated voice, Alex felt somewhat

helpless. It seems there really is no

other way. Since this situation arose because of me, I must take responsibility. I cannot allow the people of this city to be harmed.

Taking a deep breath, Alex spoke loudly to Megan. "Megan, I have a half-demon tear! I wonder if this thing can encourage you to spare our lives?"
