Ivy will help me...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clinging desperately to that thought, Damien turned around and began running toward the base entrance as fast as his shaking legs allowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, Felix stood silently beside Annie’s mother, who had already fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the entity now had control over her body, Felix knew it would still take time before the superior being could completely dominate it. The possession was not instantaneous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felix remained quiet for a moment as realization slowly dawned on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he immediately bound Annie’s mother’s hands and feet tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he prepared to drag her body away from the location, a figure suddenly rushed toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felix’s eyes sharpened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recognized the person at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was James.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger erupted inside Felix like a spark hitting dry powder. Without wasting a second, he lifted his fist and lunged toward James.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James, however, had clearly been waiting for this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward and countered Felix’s attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two clashed violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felix gritted his teeth as their fists collided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never thought you could act this despicably!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Despicable?\" James roared back, fury blazing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attacks suddenly became even faster, each strike cutting through the air like a blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You only know how to judge from above because you have no idea what I’ve suffered!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing grew rough as years of suppressed resentment burst out of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you even know how long I’ve endured your condescending attitude, Felix?! I’m sick of it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he threw himself fully into the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to Felix, who possessed far greater flexibility and combat instinct, James stood little chance. In only a few exchanges, Felix easily subdued him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, Felix twisted James’s arms and pinned them tightly with his own grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James struggled fiercely. \"Let go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felix only chuckled coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when Felix turned his head toward the demon’s previous location to check on the situation, his expression froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Annie’s mother’s body... had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felix’s brows immediately knitted together into a deep frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he turned his gaze back toward James.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James was staring at him with a wide grin on his face, the kind of grin someone wore after successfully completing something important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felix’s frown deepened. \"How can you be this stupid, James?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice carried both anger and disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would you even help that damn thing in the first place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felix had seen the soul exchange with his own eyes, yet something deep inside his instincts kept screaming a single conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cloaked man’s ritual had something to do with souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind replayed fragments of what he had heard earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Words like \"exchange the soul\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his own name had been included in the incantation, followed by another strange name he had not clearly caught because of how tense the moment had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Felix was certain of one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ritual had been meant to transfer souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cloaked man had intended to replace Felix’s soul with another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the final moment, Annie’s mother had appeared between them... and the entire process had gone wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of Felix, the entity had ended up inside Annie’s mother’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now only one question burned inside Felix’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was James helping that entity so desperately?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James remained silent for a long moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, when he had first received power from the entity, he had made a pact. A binding statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the superior being was in danger... He would protect it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it cost him his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James had already done everything voluntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A part of him still felt reluctant, a faint resistance lingering deep inside his chest like a dull ache that refused to disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet that reluctance was meaningless now. What had been done could not be undone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he simply stared at Felix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felix’s expression was filled with frustration, his jaw clenched so tightly that the muscles near his temples twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without even a moment of hesitation, he grabbed James and began dragging him toward the base entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>James struggled instinctively at first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His feet scraped harshly against the rough ground, the dust rising with every forced step, and the friction burned faintly against his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no matter how much he resisted, Felix’s grip was like iron shackles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few moments, James slowly stopped struggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shoulders slumped slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’There’s no point...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He allowed Felix to drag him wherever Felix wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Damien had already reached the base entrance and was trying to push his way inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the guards stationed there immediately stepped forward and blocked his path without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You need to stay in line.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien’s vision was still spinning faintly from the earlier incident, his consciousness only half stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet during those chaotic moments, fragments of knowledge had resurfaced in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now knew one important thing. This base belonged to Ivy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment that realization settled in his mind, anger erupted inside him like a sudden flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face twisted with fury as he glared at the guards standing in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who do you think you are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice rose sharply, filled with arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you stop me? Do you even know who I am?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards exchanged confused glances with one another, clearly baffled by his sudden outburst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their silence, Damien puffed out his chest proudly and spoke again, his tone dripping with superiority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Ivy’s brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His chin lifted higher as if the title alone was enough to command the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t treat me properly, then just wait until Ivy hears about this. You’ll definitely get a scolding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards looked at each other again, their expressions now mixed with doubt and unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them scratched his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strange... we’ve only heard that Felix and Kael are Ivy’s brothers. We’ve never heard about someone named Damien.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damien’s impatience grew instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand dismissively and snapped back at them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1015,"2026-06-05T15:12:48.008Z",1,"novelbin.me","35ee526b1b439b8cec8127b2855749f296cb09bdd1755d7c8dab6c55e33b53bf","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-558","zombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-chapter-556",706,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-i-have-safe-zone-superpower-cover.jpg"]
