Chapter 1148 You Have To First Defeat Me
“Could this be another one of those restrictions?”
Recalling the front door that he had difficulty opening when he was first trapped in Pentacarna Tower, Jared punched at the door yet again.
The look on Coby’s face changed when he heard the deafening impact noises from outside. “What the heck is he doing in there? It sounds like he’s trying to tear the place apart!”
“I bet Jared is trying to destroy Pentacarna Tower from the inside, Mr. Coby! He knows he can’t have it, so he doesn’t want to let us have it either!” Jericho said.
No, I have to get in there and stop him from causing further damage!
With that in mind, Coby increased his speed and power of hitting the formation.
The bronze door remained perfectly fine even after receiving multiple punches from Jared in a row.
What’s going on here? Do I have to use Sacred Light Fist for this door too?
Jared thought to himself with a frown as he stared at his fists.
He then charged up his spiritual energy, took a deep breath, and got ready to punch the door open using only his physical strength.
“Sacred Light Fist!”
Jared’s muscles expanded, and his veins bulged as he slammed his fist against the door.
Creak!
The door started to open slowly after that punch, much to his delight.
A faint light could be seen inside the room, and a strange aura came pouring out of the doorway.
Following the aura, Jared quickly made his way through the door and found himself inside a room.
The room was so dark that his body felt like it was floating in a different dimension.
All Jared saw was a faint light flickering somewhere in front of him, so he quickly made his way toward it. Moments later, he arrived in front of a mini version of the Pentacarna Tower, which was about twenty-odd centimeters tall.
The faint light that he saw came from a gemstone that sat on the tip of the tower.
The mini tower was exuding a rich aura that made Jared feel incredibly comfortable.
I was right! This is the Pentacarna Tower’s true essence! This is the real Pentacarna Tower!
Jared’s eyes were filled with excitement at the thought of that.
Right as he reached out to grab that mini tower, the room around him became incredibly bright.
A white-haired old man with the face of a child and a dragon head cane in his hand was glaring angrily at Jared.
“Hmph! As if letting that monster go wasn’t bad enough, now you want to take my Pentacarna Tower too?” he shouted in a loud and authoritative voice.
“I’m terribly sorry, sir! I had no idea this Pentacarna Tower belonged to you! It was not my intention to offend you in any way! Please forgive me!” Jared said respectfully.
“You want me to forgive you? Sure, if you can beat me in a fight!” the old man replied while swinging his dragon head cane at Jared.
His aura was so powerful that it knocked Jared back by a few feet.
“I’m sorry, sir! I won’t take your Pentacarna Tower! I’ll leave right away!”
Jared knew full well that he was no match for the old man, who was many times stronger than him.
“Like I said, you’ll have to first defeat me in a fight!” the old man shouted as he launched yet another attack at Jared.
“He sure is hot-tempered for an old man!” Jared muttered under his breath as he moved out of the way.
The old man ignored his protests and swung his cane at Jared dozens of times, but Jared was able to dodge every single one of his strikes.
That gave Jared a little boost in his confidence.
“You aren’t as tough as you look! Since you keep forcing me to fight you, I’ll fulfill that wish of yours!”
Jared’s body then exuded a golden glow as he activated the Power of Dragons.
A golden dragon came flying out of his body and wrapped itself around him.
“The son of a dragon, huh? Not bad…” the old man mumbled with a grin as he slammed his cane hard into the ground.
A loud roar rang out as the dragon on the old man’s cane turned into a huge dragon.
