Chapter 1044 Suffer No Longer
So the mysterious power inside me now is the Power of Dragons?
Is that the result of the two draconic essences combining?
Gazing at Skylar and Karl, Jared finally realized that the two knew about the secret all along. In order to get the Power of Dragons, one had to combine the draconic essences of the Ice Dragon and the Flame Dragon.
There was nothing to be gained from ingesting just one draconic essence besides its spiritual energy.
Jared never thought something that dramatic would happen after ingesting both draconic essences.
After being reminded to focus on his enemy, Karl recollected himself and let out a warcry.
As his geomantic compass began to glow and engulf his body in a bright light once again, every muscle fiber in his body grew larger and larger until he became a giant of light.
Spinning on the top of Karl’s head, the geomantic compass seemed to have become one with the man.
“Jared, I’m going to kill you for laying a finger on my magical item!” Karl sounded so ferocious that he no longer seemed human.
Skylar, too, got ready to fight Jared by picking up the magic sword on the ground. “If we can kill him, what’s his will become ours!”
With that, Skylar swiftly swung his weapon at Jared.
The sword energy coming from his blade was so powerful that it could cut through time and space.
Karl then immediately moved in to join Skylar’s assault. Like a lightning bolt, he rushed toward Jared with his fist at the ready.
Caught between his two enemies, Jared knitted his eyebrows as he quickly devised a tactic to deal with the predicament.
He then lifted the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand and parried Skylar’s sword energy.
Clang!
The sound of the two sword energies colliding was deafening.
Already within Karl’s attacking range, Jared knew he would not have enough time to evade the man’s fist after turning to defend himself from Skylar’s assault. Hence, he decided to utilize his Golem Body and have it cover him completely in golden scales for protection.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Jared could feel his insides tumbling around when the attacks landed.
Even though it did not seem like it, Karl had actually thrown three punches at Jared, whose armor managed to absorb most of the damage.
Still, Karl’s attacks were so powerful that the force they generated went through the armor and hit Jared’s insides, completely ignoring the indestructibility of the man’s Golem Body.
Jared was struck so hard that he lost control of his elixir field, making it impossible for him to focus his spiritual energy at that moment.
Seeing how his attack had dazed Jared, Karl threw another punch and sent the man flying away toward the trees.
Jared only fell to the ground after crashing into a dozen trees, and when he did, his internal injuries caused him to spray blood out of his mouth.
Then, the man quickly adjusted his breathing in order to regain control of his spiritual energy.
“If I were you, I’d stand down. Hand over the draconic essences, and you won’t have to suffer any longer,” sneered Karl.
Skylar was relieved when he witnessed how easily Karl had bested Jared. It looks like Jared hasn’t figured out how to utilize the Power of Dragons just yet.
Instead of responding to Karl, Jared simply remained silent and focused on regaining his strength.
What Karl lacked in power, he made up with rich combat experience and his magical item.
Faced with two formidable combatants, Jared suddenly realized that he had been pushed into a corner.
