The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5045

“You're right about that, Mr. Aldwych,” Jared replied with a smile. “Must've been pure luck that Ms. Murray was there to save me.”

“Aziel, do you think you can open this stone door?” Jemina asked, changing the subject.

“Of course,” Aziel said casually. “It's just a stone door. Nothing I can't handle.”

With a calm, confident grin, he walked up to the door. Without saying another word, a short, jet-black blade appeared in his hand.

Clang!

A cold flash vanished into the stone, but the door remained completely unmoved. Then, a powerful backlash erupted from the door. Aziel, caught by surprise, was blasted backward over three hundred meters.

Everyone watching was stunned.

Even Aziel couldn't move the stone door an inch.

Jared narrowed his eyes as he studied the runes more closely. They were strange. When the backlash happened, the runes almost seemed to come alive, shifting and twisting just before unleashing that explosive force.

His expression turned serious. It was clear now—exploring this ancient ruin wasn't going to be easy.

Aziel, visibly frustrated after getting thrown back, stepped forward with a scowl on his face. He gently ran his hand over the stone again, but there was no response at all.

“Seems like this arcane array is stronger than expected. We should have Mr. Draycott from Heavenfall Pavilion take a look. He's the expert when it comes to arcane arrays,” Aziel said, feigning calm.

Jared stayed quiet. Given enough time, he could've cracked this arcane array himself. It was unusual, but once he pinpointed the arcane array's core, breaking it wouldn't be a problem.

But with him only at Wandering Immortal Realm Level One, he couldn't afford to show too much power in front of these people. His knowledge in array craft would only draw unwanted attention from Aziel.

Right now, his best move was to act useless. If there were magical items in these ancient ruins, maybe he could grab them while the others were off guard.
