Jared wasn't scared to face those demon beasts because he had Golden Dragon's True Form. In other words, he had the aura of a phoenix and draconic essence in his body.
All of a sudden, the aura within Jared's body burst forth, and a golden dragon gradually manifested behind Jared.
In the next moment, the roar of a dragon echoed in the air.
The python that was dashing toward Jared saw the golden dragon and was stunned. Its eyes were even filled with terror.
After that, it immediately turned around and fled. The python disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the gemstone shining on Octo Ruler was also extinguished.
Silius froze on the spot as he was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events. What on earth happened? Why did the python retreat?
At that moment, Ghaylen and the others, who were on the high platform, were just as astonished.
“Mr. Chance has a golden dragon behind him! That's not a real dragon, is it?” Zebediah was in utter disbelief.
Ghaylen kept mum and looked at Jared in stupefaction.
Seeing that Bilius was frozen to the spot, Ebenez shouted anxiously, “Bilius, what are you doing? That golden dragon is nothing but an illusion! Are you scared of it?”
The rules of the challenge said that the individuals outside of the arena weren't allowed to give tips to the challengers or help the challengers in the arena.
Yet, Ebenez had just blatantly broken the rules.
Upon hearing Ebenez's reminder, Bilius came back to his senses. However, the latter didn't have time to react to a blinding white flash that zipped through the air.
Slap!
In the next second, Bilius felt his cheek burning, and shortly after, half of his face had swelled up.
As it turned out, Jared had used his Dragonslayer Sword to slap Bilius across the face.
