Yuven and his companions watched this scene without much change in their expressions, as they were well aware of Jared’s true identity.
However, Lucian was left dumbfounded when he saw the Golden Dragon behind Jared and the incredible power he unleashed.
“Y-You are the Golden Dragon’s True Form?”
Lucian’s mouth hung agape. He never expected that Jared possessed the Golden Dragon’s True Form. Nevertheless, it explained why Jared’s physical strength was so formidable.
“Now that you know, it’s probably too late. I’ll let you witness the true power of the beastly race,” Jared said calmly.
Lucian furrowed his brow. The anomaly behind. him continued to shake, with the energy inside it constantly circulating.
“Even if you have the Golden Dragon’s True Form, I won’t let you leave here alive today,” Lucian roared. Suddenly, the sky darkened, and Lucian’s body grew to a height of several dozen feet, like a small mountain in front of Jared.
Since Jared had the Golden Dragon’s True Form and pure physical strength, Lucian knew he couldn’t defeat the man with physical power alone, so he began to use mystical techniques.
In the darkness, Lucian’s claw covered the sky and descended upon Jared. Jared was a mere ant in front of Lucian.
To the onlookers, it seemed as though an overwhelming darkness was pressing down from above, causing intense disturbances in the world. The entire void seemed on the verge of shattering.
In the face of Lucian’s terrifying strike, Jared showed no signs of panic. He soared into the air, directly confronting the mountain-like Lucian.
Lucian’s claw attack missed, and his eyes were locked onto Jared. His entire body emitted a radiant glow, and black runes began to circulate around him. Soon, a massive ball of light formed and surged toward Jared.
“Lucian is going all out, even using runes, which is his trump card,” Yuven noted, his brow furrowing.
Individuals of their caliber usually had their own life-saving methods. Even if they didn’t understand runes and magecraft, they could purchase it at a high price.
These runes became the last line of defense for many, not to be used unless absolutely. necessary.
The fact that Lucian resorted to using runes showed how seriously he regarded Jared.
Evidently, he regarded the Golden Dragon’s True Form as a potential threat.
Boom!
The light ball exploded, causing the void to tremble. Jared was propelled into the high sky as if he had been thrown upward.
His figure quickly disappeared, vanishing into the heavens. Lucian looked up. Finally, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
Nevertheless, it was quite embarrassing to get pushed to this extent by a mere Body Fusion Realm cultivator.
“Jared!”
Quinley and the others shouted nervously when they saw Jared being blasted into the air and vanishing before their very eyes.
Yuven and Cloud also furrowed their brows and looked up at the sky, but there was no trace of Jared.
The mountainous Lucian lowered his head and said to Yuven, “Yuven, surrender obediently, or the entire Imperial Beast City will perish.”
Yuven stared at Lucian coldly, his gaze resolute. “I will never surrender. The people of Imperial Beast City would rather die in battle than surrender.”
With that, Yuven’s aura erupted, and his body began to expand continuously.
“Ms. Tall, Ms. Warwick, I’ll hold King Lucian back. take the airship and leave immediately.”
Turning to Ivasha, he continued, “Ivasha, leave with them. I’ll lead the warriors of Imperial Beast City to buy you time.”
Yuven knew that he was no match for Lucian. His only role was to delay and allow the others to escape.
“Dad, I won’t leave. I want to stay with you,” Ivasha sobbed, shaking her head vehemently.
