A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4557

Jared drew the Dragonslayer Sword and thrust it forcefully into the ground.

Since someone intended to trap him with an illusion array, Jared resolved to break it through sheer power. He wanted the array's creator to see clearly that no illusion array could imprison him.

The Dragonslayer Sword plunged into the soil, and with a powerful flick, Jared carved a deep trench into the ground.

He intended to see whether the illusion array could restore the trench.

However, just as Jared wielded the Dragonslayer Sword, a jet of liquid suddenly spurted from the ground.

He quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding being splashed.

When the liquid landed, Jared was startled to discover that it was blood—bright red blood that stood out sharply in the dim space, filling the air with a metallic scent.

This unexpected development left Jared momentarily stunned. He couldn't understand how his simple thrust into the ground had caused blood to erupt.

Could it be...

His eyes widened in shock as a peculiar thought struck him. Jared wondered if he wasn't standing on solid ground but rather atop the body of an enormous demon beast.

His sword thrust earlier might have pierced the creature's skin, causing the blood to gush out.

Realizing this, Jared leaped into the air, unwilling to let his feet remain on the ground any longer.

If he truly stood on such a colossal demon beast, Jared couldn't fathom its immense size.

Yet, as he hovered in mid-air, a wave of exhaustion swept over him, making him feel weak and powerless.

“What's going on? I just replenished my energy!” Jared exclaimed, puzzled by how quickly his spiritual energy was being drained.

He hastily activated the Focus Technique to restore his energy, confident that his plentiful resources would suffice.
