The elderly men, who had overheard their conversation, shared the same frustration. They vowed to undo the arcane array and prove to everyone that they were capable of doing so.
Suddenly, the stone door began to flicker, emitting a burst of intense energy. One of the elderly mages failed to evade the attack and had his head severed.
Blood splattered everywhere, drenching the remaining elderly mages. Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
“W-What just happened?” the flabbergasted Emiliano asked.
“T-This...” The mage who claimed he could successfully dismantle the formation earlier was stunned and bereft of words.
“I told you. Even if you were given a month, you wouldn't be able to undo this arcane array. Your attempt to forcefully break the formation is misguided, especially since the Death Trap Formation is intricately woven within it. Shattering it with brute force will only lead to death! So now that you know how terrifying this arcane array is, do you still want to continue?” Jared said calmly.
All the mages from Stormwind Sect instantly staggered backward, keeping a distance from the stone door.
Their reaction got Emiliano even more frustrated.
“Jared, you said you can solve this in a minute, right? Well then, go ahead and give it a try. If you succeed, I will grant you the authority to distribute the treasures!” Emiliano said to Jared while bobbing his head.
Due to the challenging nature of unraveling the formation, there was a possibility that Jared might die in the process. That was why Emiliano consented to Jared's attempt.
“If you had mentioned that earlier, I would have already opened the stone door,” Jared responded with a smile before walking in the direction of the door.
“Be careful, Mr. Chance!” Skyler said.
“Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.” Jared gave her a subtle grin.
He stood before the stone door and laid his hands on it.
All the onlookers gasped when they saw that. They were eager to see what Jared could do.
Luol and Avery, too, paid close attention to Jared, as they wanted to see how he could break the arcane array in a minute.
