Chapter 894 A Way To Escape
“If you won’t learn your lesson and surrender the draconic essence, then I have no choice but to kill you and take it out of your body!” Steinar’s eyes lit up with murderous intent as he continued, “No one has ever been able to escape the Shalvis family’s arcane array, and I am invincible when I am inside it. On top of that, it supplies me with an endless supply of energy!”
This arcane array was set up by Wrea and the others, so Steinar could receive their martial energy while he was inside it. As such, Jared was actually fighting all five Martial Arts Grandmasters instead of just Steinar.
“Is that so? I shall test this arcane array of your family, then…”
Jared’s body exuded a golden glow while Dragonslayer Sword became engulfed in flames.
“Die!” he shouted while slashing down in Steinar’s direction.
As the two of them were the only ones inside the arcane array, Jared had to seize the opportunity to either kill or severely injure Steinar. It would be a lot more difficult for him to do so if the other Martial Arts Grandmasters were to join in the fight.
The look on Steinar’s face changed instantly as he didn’t expect Jared to be capable of such destructive power while inside the arcane array.
“Hmph… Looks like I really have underestimated you!”
Steinar then enveloped his body with a golden glow and charged at Jared.
He had turned himself into a weapon and was planning on facing Dragonslayer Sword head-on.
Noticing how committed Steinar was to his attack, Jared didn’t dare let his guard down either. The blood in his body boiled as he unleashed the full power of his spiritual energy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Deafening noises could be heard as they clashed repeatedly within the arcane array.
The two of them were moving so quickly that all the others could see were two golden beams of light colliding against each other.
As the energy from their exchange of blows could not escape the arcane array, Jared and Steinar could feel the pressure building up inside it. Eventually, it got so bad that even the space within the arcane array became distorted.
From the outside, it looked like the arcane array was filled with water as it shook violently.
Wrea and the others couldn’t tell what was going on inside the arcane array, so neither of them sensed any danger from it.
Clang!
Jared’s Dragonslayer Sword hit Steinar’s fist yet again.
The impact from the clash sent them both flying backward instantly, and the resulting energy was accumulated inside the arcane array as well.
Jared’s arm was trembling slightly and bleeding profusely from the palm as he held on to Dragonslayer Sword.
As the pressure within the arcane array had reached its peak, he needed to open his mouth just so he could breathe.
Steinar wasn’t looking all that great himself, but the murderous intent in his eyes had only intensified.
D*mn, Jared is a lot stronger than I thought… If I don’t kill him now, I won’t stand a chance against him in the future! After all, he has swallowed the draconic essence, so it’ll give him a boost in his cultivation process!
Crack! Crack!
Soft, cracking noises could be heard within the arcane array. Jared’s spiritual sense had spread across the entire arcane array, and tiny cracks began to form on its surrounding walls.
Noticing that the arcane array would soon reach its limits, Jared broke into a smile as he came up with a way to escape from it.
“Still smiling in the face of your death? I’ll kill you!” Steinar shouted angrily as he sent a terrifying aura in Jared’s direction.
With his teeth tightly clenched, Jared raised Dragonslayer Sword to block it.
Boom!
Jared’s feet left two deep marks in the ground when he was knocked backward by the heavy blow.
As he had achieved oneness with Dragonslayer Sword, using it to absorb the attack was no different from having his body get hit by it. The blow was so devastating that Jared could feel his internal organs vibrating inside his body.
