Everyone showcased their talents simultaneously, no one daring to slack off as they were in a life-or-death situation.
Avery's geomantic compass floated above everyone's head, shining on the group, defecting the invasion of the negative energy.
As Jared slowly moved, he returned to the tunnel with the most negative energy and dark shadows they had just passed.
Black shadows charged toward the group from both sides continuously, increasing the pressure Skyler and the rest felt.
“Damn, that fool. We went through so much to escape from this place, and now he is heading toward the tunnel again!” Emiliano scolded when he saw Jared approaching the underpass.
Just as the group was about to be defeated by the black shadows, Jared opened his eyes, and two beams shot out from them. With the lights reaching the deepest part of the tunnel, the rest of the group spotted a vivid red statue there. The group noticed that the life-like statue's face was scrunched up ferociously, with a sword stuck in its body. They wondered who its creator was.
Jared shouted, “The core is where the statue is, and we must destroy it!”
Luol agreed, “That's what we shall do, then!” With that, he jumped into the air, sending multiple flames out of his palms. However, when he neared the statue, a tremendous force of negative energy tried to engulf him.
Jared immediately stepped forward and tugged Luol back.
No! One does not simply go near the core!
“Why don't you guys form a barricade here while I work this out...” Jared said as the Dragonslayer Sword in his hand began to glow while the roar of a dragon reverberated through the atmosphere.
Soon, a golden dragon appeared and charged toward the negative energy, disappearing from the public's eyes. Jared followed suit, running into the negative energy after the golden dragon.
