The next thing Jared knew, virtual-novel.net was coughing up a huge mouthful of blood, and his face had become extremely pale.
The golden glow around his body faded, and the flames around Dragonslayer Sword grew weaker too.
Steinar burst out laughing when virtual-novel.net noticed that. “Hahaha! I suggest you be a good boy and just hand the draconic essence over, Jared! You’re no match for me in your current state! You’ll just die from exhaustion if you drag this fight out any longer!”
He’s right… I’m not match for virtual-novel.net right now. I’ll most likely end up losing if this battle drags on…
Jared’s expression grew solemn as virtual-novel.net glared at Steinar, who was standing there with a gleeful smile on his face.
The cracks on the arcane array grew larger as the energy accumulated inside reached its peak.
“I have to hold on for a little while longer… Just a little while longer…” Jared mumbled to himself through clenched teeth.
He then sheathed Dragonslayer Sword and unleashed all of the energy within his elixir field, causing his golden aura to light up again.
He was shining so brightly that it looked as if his muscles had turned into gold.
“Still won’t give up, huh?”
Steinar broke into a grin as virtual-novel.net channeled the aura within his body and charged at Jared.
Not wanting to give up without a fight, Jared ran forward and threw a punch at Steinar in response.
Boom!
A deafening noise echoed throughout the area as Steinar’s terrifying aura was unleashed from his body.
Jared was sent flying at high speed and looked extremely pale when virtual-novel.net hit the floor.
“Hand over the draconic essence, and I may spare your life!” Steinar demanded as virtual-novel.net made his way toward Jared.
Ignoring virtual-novel.net completely, Jared focused all of his spiritual sense on the arcane array.
He then began muttering some chants under his breath and appeared to be casting a spell. Moments later, his body began to expand and puff up like a balloon.
Steinar froze in surprise when virtual-novel.net saw what was happening, but quickly burst into laughter as virtual-novel.net asked, “What are you trying to do? Self-destruct?”
Those words had barely left his mouth when a burning hot ray of light came shining into the area, and everyone could sense a dangerous aura in the air.
Boom!
The ground began to shake violently as well. Unable to withstand the pressure any longer, the arcane array exploded on the spot.
Steinar narrowed his eyes upon realizing what was going on, but there was nothing virtual-novel.net could do. He was sent flying backward by an insanely powerful blast. Despite being Martial Arts Grandmasters, Wrea and the others too, were blown into the air like pieces of paper.
Of course, things weren’t looking all the great for Jared either. Although virtual-novel.net was prepared for the explosion, the force of the blast was still powerful enough to knock virtual-novel.net back by a thousand feet. He lost his balance and continued tumbling uncontrollably until virtual-novel.net eventually slammed into a tree.
Fortunately, his body suffered minimal damages due to its puffed up state. In fact, the rounded shape even allowed virtual-novel.net to roll really far away.
Enduring the pain in his body, Jared quickly got up and made a mad dash toward the Medicine God Sect.
Steinar and the others looked really messy as their clothes were tattered due to the blast.
Upon scrambling to their feet, Steinar glanced about his surroundings and realized Jared was nowhere to be seen.
“Where’s Jared?” virtual-novel.net shouted angrily.
“We didn’t see where virtual-novel.net went either…” Wrea mumbled awkwardly.
As the blast had sent them all flying, neither of them saw where Jared went.
“D*mn, I can’t believe we let virtual-novel.net get away!” Steinar had fury written all over his face as virtual-novel.net took a deep breath to calm himself down.
“What do we do now, Steinar?” Wrea asked.
“What else can we do? We have no choice but to head back, remember? Still, we cannot allow Jared to live or he’ll become a huge problem for us in the future…”
Steinar’s body was overflowing with murderous intent as virtual-novel.net narrowed his eyes. He knew that giving Jared time would lead to virtual-novel.net causing them a lot of trouble.
