A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6308

Gwendolyn listened, then caught her lower lip between her teeth.

"I already told you. If you help me restore the Frost Deity Branch's glory, I can do anything for you. If you need it again, I can do that with you."

"And the cultivation art inside me is ice-aligned. My body runs cool. It'd be perfect for putting out your burning heat..."

Jared looked at Gwendolyn and smiled a little.

"Alright. We'll talk about it when that burning flares up again."

"Shameless..."

The words suddenly popped up inside Jared's consciousness field.

Jared jolted. Then he knew who it was.

Aldric was speaking.

From the sound of it, that guy had settled in pretty comfortably inside his consciousness field. He could even talk now.

Jared ignored him.

He took Gwendolyn with him and kept flying toward the Blightmist Wood.

The Blightmist Wood lay in the southwestern reaches of the Nether Mountain Range, a forest drowned beneath black mist.

The trees there were tall and twisted.

Their trunks were covered in knobs and splits, like countless faces frozen in pain.

A thick layer of fallen leaves covered the ground.

Underneath was swampy mud.

Now and then, half-buried bones from unknown creatures showed through the soil.

Black demonic aura hung all through the forest, so dense it looked almost solid.

It moved without a sound.

Where it passed, leaves withered, rocks weathered away, and even the air turned heavy enough to press against the chest.

Jared and Gwendolyn dropped down at the edge of the mistwood.

"The demonic aura here is ridiculously thick."

A layer of icy blue radiance lit up around Gwendolyn and sealed the demonic aura outside.

But the demonic aura was viciously corrosive.

Fine cracks quickly spread across the radiant barrier, like something had been gnawing at it.

"Can you hold up?"

Gwendolyn didn't answer.

She poured more spiritual power into it, and the barrier steadied again.

Even so, her face had gone a shade paler than usual.

Keeping that shield up in this demonic aura was draining her hard.

"Let's go," Gwendolyn said.

The two of them stepped into the fog forest.

Demonic aura rushed at them from every direction, like countless invisible venomous snakes trying to bore into their bodies and eat away at their spirits.

Jared's chaotic force began moving on its own.

A thin layer of violet radiance spread over his body like armor and sealed the demonic aura outside.

The instant that demonic aura touched the chaotic force, it vanished like snow under a blazing sun.

Gwendolyn had no such ease.

The Frost God's power inside her was strong, but against demonic aura, it was nowhere near as suppressive as Jared's chaotic force.

The demonic aura kept grinding against her radiant barrier.

More and more cracks spread across the icy blue shield, and she had no choice but to keep pouring spiritual power into it to hold it together.

After walking for about half an hour, Jared came to a stop.

"Your shield's about to give out."

Gwendolyn didn't deny it.

A fine sheen of sweat had already gathered on her forehead, and her breathing had grown a little sharper than usual.

Jared lifted a hand and sent a stream of chaotic force into Gwendolyn's body.

Violet radiance flowed across the surface of her body and fused with her icy divine radiance, forming a shield woven from purple and blue.

That shield was several times sturdier than before.

The demonic aura struck it with a sizzling hiss, but it couldn't push through even the slightest bit.

"That's a lot better," Jared said.

Gwendolyn looked at him, and something complicated flickered through her eyes.

"Thank you."

"No need," Jared said as he withdrew his hand and kept moving forward. "Come on. Don't waste time."

The two of them pressed deeper through the fog forest for about another hour, and the demonic aura only grew thicker.
