“Mr. Chance, thank you for saving us,” said someone from the crowd. If not for Jared, their abilities would have been. sucked dry by the enemies. “Thank you, Mr. Chance!”
“Thank you…”
Many people began voicing out their gratitude. Jared nodded lightly in return: “Jared, your powers are far greater than I have imagined,” commented Jessica with astonishment written all over her face.
“I don’t even know the extent of my powers.” Jared flashed a subtle smile. For the past year, Jared felt that his life had been moving forward as if someone had planned it all out for him..
Perhaps this is the path my father has paved for me. Now that I’ve stepped on this path, I’ll keep walking no matter how difficult it gets.
“Well, you’ve settled your matters now. Do you have time to come with me to Demon Sect already?” asked Jessica. “I haven’t rescued my girlfriend yet. I’ve got to do that first.”
Unable to wait any longer, Jared sped toward the base of the Warriors Alliance. Jessica shook her head, but she still followed after him.
By the time Jared arrived at the base of the Warriors Alliance, they were already under attack by Godrick’s men. However, they could not get in, for the dungeon was protected by an arcane array.
Arriving before the artificial hill, Jared gently placed his palm on it. Charms floated into the air, releasing a faint light..
That was the arcane array protecting the dungeon. The moment the arcane array appeared, Jared swiftly scanned the charms and spotted the core.
With the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand, Jared brought it down on the core and destroyed it. Just like that, the arcane array vanished. Jared gave the dungeon door a push, and it opened. Immediately, Jared dashed in.
Lizbeth and the others entered as well. It had been a long time since they had seen Josephine. As soon as they entered the dungeon, they saw Josephine still locked in a prison cell in the corner. This time, however, she was covered in wounds.
“Josephine…”
Jared felt immense remorse and heartache at the sight of her injuries. “Josephine! Josephine!” Lizbeth cried out as well. Josephine was surprised to see Jared and Lizbeth in the dungeon.
“H-How did you guys get in?” Josephine knew it was not easy to enter the Warriors Alliance’s dungeon. “Josephine, Jared has eliminated the Warriors Alliance. We’re getting you out now.”
Lizbeth stepped forward and used all his might to break the prison cell door open. However, no matter how hard she tried, the door would not budge.
“Don’t waste your energy, Lizbeth. It won’t open.” Josephine shook her head. Lizbeth glanced at Jared. She knew the latter. would have an idea. “Stand back, Lizbeth.”
With that, a faint glow appeared on his palm, and he pressed it gently against the door. The prison cell glowed, and glowing charms circled the entire area.
That was the arcane array controlling the entire prison cell. Thankfully, Jared could find its core as long as the arcane array was visible. Carefully, he scanned the complex runes and found the core.
Boom! He swung his fist at a certain spot in the arcane array.
That punch caused the entire dungeon to tremble. At the same time, Jared was thrown back by the tremendous force of rebound energy. Alas, the arcane array was still undamaged.
That proved Jared had found the wrong core. Regardless, Jared did not give up. He continued searching for it and swung his fist again..
The second attempt yielded the same result, and Jared was sent flying back again. After over ten tries, Jared was drenched in sweat, and blood was spilling from his mouth.
