Huff…
All of a sudden, the giant phantom exhaled a breath in Jared’s direction. The lethal intent caused the surrounding space to freeze as dense frost began creeping toward Jared, enclosing him.
All Jared sensed was an icy gust of wind before the area around him turned white. Even the air was glacial, and it felt as if he had been trapped within the space. “D*mn, is this guy that powerful? I shouldn’t have crossed him then…”
Jared regretted his actions. He never thought that the phantom would be so mighty-to be able to trap him just by exhaling. Nevertheless, what Jared needed to do at that moment was to get out of that situation.
Jared thought of his spiritual fire, so he flipped his palm and summoned a small ball of pale blue flame. As he increased his spiritual energy output, the spiritual fire began burning brighter and brighter. Finally, he threw the ball of flame toward the space before him.
Boom! The space shook before cracking sounds echoed. In no time, the entire space shattered as if it was made of glass. Once Jared’s surroundings returned to normal, the pressure on him dissipated. “Screw you. I’ll show you what I’ve got too!”
The Dragonslayer Sword on Jared’s hand was ignited and began burning brightly. In the next second, Jared leaped into the air. and swung his sword at the phantom’s head. A golden arc of light appeared in the sky and struck the giant phantom’s head.
Clang! Despite the ear-piercing sound, Jared’s Dragonslayer Sword had dealt no damage to the phantom. In fact, he could not even leave a mark on the shiny silver helmet.
“W-What?” Jared was dumbfounded. Not only did his powerful attack not hurt the phantom, but it did not even mar his opponent’s armor. The phantom only spared Jared a glance before it made its move.
A gust of massive aura flung Jared back. Jared’s body resembled a flying bullet, shooting toward the hill behind him. His Golem Body started burning as it created friction with the air, and he soon became a ball of fire.
Boom! He slammed onto the rock and was embedded dozens of meters deep into the solid body of the mountain. After a long while, Jared finally climbed out of the crater. His Golem Body was no longer activated, his clothes were torn, and there was blood on the corner of his lips.
“This is insane,” Jared cursed as he stared at the giant phantom. It was then Jared realized he was no match for the giant phantom. Not even Yashur, an Eighth Level Martial Arts Sovereign, would be able to withstand a hit from the phantom, let alone. him.
Then, Jared noticed the giant phantom walking over to him, and he quickly took in a deep breath before leaping up to the peak of the mountain to flee. However, right as Jared reached the top of the mountain, he realized countless phantoms were crawling up the mountain after him.
Since he was already injured and in no condition to fight, he could only grit his teeth and swing his Dragonslayer Sword at them, slashing as many of them as he could.
Nevertheless, that did nothing as the phantoms were undeterred and continued climbing upward. Jared soon came up with another plan; he quickly took out the Divine Bow from his Storage Ring.
Once he stabbed the Divine Bow into the ground, the bow started radiating brilliant gold rays. Those phantoms climbing up the mountain dissipated the second they were shone by the golden light.
At that, the phantoms at the foot of the mountain hastily backed away. Even the giant phantom quickly retreated a safe distance away upon seeing the Divine Bow’s golden light.
