A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5087

Jared accompanied Jemina in feeding the carp. When he saw her grinning like a child, a corner of his heart, which had been frozen for many years, began to soften.

He had never imagined that, beyond battles, there could be such a scene that seemed to slow down time itself.

However, that serenity was soon broken by a surge of lethal intent. It tore through the air, dimming the shimmering lights by the lakeside.

“Jared Chance!” With a thunderous roar, Eustace, with his black armor stained with blood, emerged, aiming the Bloodbane Sword right at Jared's back.

It was clear he had been following them for a long time. His aura was tempestuous, like a volcano on the brink of eruption. Staring at Jared with bloodshot eyes as if he wanted to tear him apart, Eustace yelled, “How dare you kill my brother!”

“Who are you?” Jared asked as he looked at Eustace.

“I'm Eustace Hoff from Bloodbane Palace. Jack Hoff, whom you killed, was my younger brother!” Eustace swung the Bloodbane Sword right after speaking.

The color drained from Jemina's face in an instant. Instinctively, she pushed Jared away, but she herself got struck by the sword energy, and her sleeve was slashed in a split second.

Jared's gaze hardened. He shielded Jemina with one arm and wielded the Dragonslayer Sword with the other to meet the Bloodbane Sword head-on.

Clang!

The resounding clash of metal echoed through the air, causing the lake's surface to ripple tumultuously. Startled, the carp dove to the bottom of the lake.

Eustace staggered three steps backward from the impact. Despite the wound in his hand, his gaze became even more frenzied. “You've got skills, but unfortunately, you have to die today!”

His sword energy shifted, transforming into a sky full of sword shadows. Each strike carried killing moves secretly passed down from Bloodbane Palace. Every move was deadly.

Jared moved with ghostly footsteps among the sword shadows.

He hadn't given his all, partly because he was mindful of Jemina's presence, and partly because he wanted to gauge Eustace's abilities.

However, Eustace's attacks became increasingly reckless, completely exposing his own vulnerabilities. It was clear that he was resolved to perish together with Jared.

“You've got a death wish,” Jared sneered, deciding to stop holding back.
