A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6285

Jared's hand gave a slight tremor.

Right then, the fight on the other side reached its end.

Gwendolyn's icy divine radiance and Josephine's fiery red blade-flare slammed into each other dozens of times in midair.

Ice and fire tore through the surrounding 300 yards, turning the whole area into a ruin of scorched earth and frozen wreckage.

Josephine's strength wasn't weak.

But against Gwendolyn, an ancient terror who had lived for over ten thousand years, she was still far too outmatched.

Gwendolyn's ice needles pierced through the firelight protecting Josephine's body.

With perfect precision, they sealed seven major acupoints on her body.

Josephine's body locked up in an instant. She stood there like a sculpture carved from ice, frozen in place and unable to move.

"Don't hurt her!" Jared shouted.

"I know," Gwendolyn said flatly, pulling back the icy divine radiance in her hand.

Josephine remained sealed where she stood, unable to move, but her mind stayed clear.

Her gaze passed over Gwendolyn and settled on Jared.

Confusion flickered in those eyes. So did resistance, and something else twisted in with it, something even she couldn't make sense of.

Gwendolyn walked over to Jared's side and glanced at Skylar, still on one knee on the ground.

"What do we do with him?"

Jared went quiet for a moment.

"Make him give Josephine's memory back."

Skylar laughed, and the sound came out loaded with mockery.

"Jared, you're still this naive. You really think I'll obediently do what you say?"

He lifted his head and looked in Josephine's direction.

A tiny glint flashed through his eyes, so well hidden it almost slipped by.

"Senior sister, we're leaving."

The moment the words left his mouth, a blinding blaze erupted from inside his body.

It wasn't ordinary fire. It was a kind of power Jared had never seen before, neither demonic aura nor spiritual power, but something older than both, something more primal.

The blazing firelight swallowed Skylar whole and wrapped around him until it became a searing pillar of flame.

The pillar of flame shot straight into the sky and tore a massive gash through the clouds.

"He's getting away!" Gwendolyn shouted, and her ice-blue divine radiance slammed toward the pillar of flame.

But the force inside that pillar was too terrifying. The instant Gwendolyn's divine radiance touched it, it was knocked away.

The pillar of flame stretched toward Josephine and swallowed her into it too.

The Ice Seal around Josephine melted fast in the blazing firelight.

Then the power inside the pillar lifted her body and drew her toward Skylar.

"Josephine!" Jared lunged forward, reaching for her hand.

But the pillar's force was too strong. The second his hand touched its edge, he was thrown back, and the flesh on his palm split open under the burn.

Josephine drifted farther and farther away, and her eyes stayed on Jared the whole time.

Then something inside those eyes suddenly cracked apart.
