Kayden knew it was useless for him to lead his subordinates to chase after the Blazing Tiger. After all, they would not be able to defeat the demon beast alone. Hence, he could only listen to Claus’ suggestion and leave the place ast soon as possible.
“Mr. Chance, let’s hurry and get out of here! Otherwise, that Blazing Tiger might summon waves of demon beasts!” Zain urged Jared. Jared nodded and followed behind the others to leave Demon Beast Mountain.
They had not traveled far when they felt the ground shake, as though a terrifying surge of energy was approaching them. Jared’s expression turned grim as terror filled his eyes.
“There’s a wave of demon beasts coming! That Blazing Tiger has summoned a wave of demon beasts!” Claus yelled as he turned pale from feeling the vibrations of the ground.
“Quick! Run!” Kayden shouted in fear, panicking. “It’s too late. We need to hurry and form a defensive wall. Otherwise, we won’t be able to survive this wave of demon beasts!” Jared exclaimed as he stopped Kayden. He had also sensed the aura of the oncoming demon beasts.
“It’ll be useless forming a defensive wall with the number of people we have here. We should just get out of here.” Naturally, Kayden would never listen to Jared’s suggestion.
On the other hand, Claus had soared into the air to survey the surroundings. His expression turned grim when he saw huge clouds of dust that resembled giant waves coming their way, causing trees to tumble in their wake. His face was as pale as a sheet. “It’s too late. The wave of demon beasts will arrive at any time…”
At that moment, everyone could feel the ground’s vibration getting stronger by the minute as horrifying waves of aura surged constantly in their direction. “Since we can’t escape, what should we do?”
Kayden was overwhelmed by anxiety. He was starting to regret intruding into the depths of Demon Beast Mountain. Claus shifted his gaze to Jared. Although Jared was not the most powerful among them, they had no choice but to rely on him to think of a solution in that critical situation.
“Everyone! Huddle closely together! Do not disperse!” commanded Jared. Following that, he started using a tree branch to draw unique symbols on the ground around them.
“Is he drawing an arcane array? I didn’t know this brat was also a master of arcane array.” Kayden was surprised as he watched Jared draw those symbols. Soon, the unique symbols that Jared had drawn started to flicker and glow.
However, Jared did not stop. He continued to set up the arcane array by drawing symbols on the trees surrounding them, which quickly linked with the ones on the ground.
The glowing light soon engulfed Jared and the others, shielding them and giving them a sense of security. Everyone sighed in relief and was no longer as nervous as they were before.
Jared, however, was not as happy while he stared at the arcane array he had set up. That was because he knew the arcane array would not be able to last long. The only thing the arcane array could do was block the first wave of attack from the demon beasts since it was the strongest.
“Mr. Chance, I didn’t know you were also a profound master in arcane array. What’s the name of the arcane array you set up? Can it fend off those demon beasts’ attacks?” Zain asked excitedly.
“This arcane array of mine can only block the demon beasts’ first wave of attack. After that, we’ll need to depend on our respective abilities to survive,” Jared replied earnestly. Everyone who had just relaxed grew nervous again upon hearing that.
“It’s good enough if it can block the first wave of attacks. After all, the first wave is the most terrifying. I believe this wave of demon beasts won’t last long. Plus, those demon beasts were summoned by that Blazing Tiger, so I doubt they’ll be any powerful. They’re probably low- level demon beasts. As long as we work together and don’t stray far away from each other, we should be able to withstand the attacks,” Claus said.
In the face of death, we must unite as one…
