The King Of Warriors (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4964

Chapter 4964 Celestial Gem Mine
Jared didn't say a word. His eyes locked onto the glowing runes as he unsheathed the Dragonslayer Sword. The blade pulsed with a cold, deadly light. Taking a deep breath, he raised it high and slashed down hard.

A powerful wave of sword energy crashed into the wall, kicking up a storm of dust and smoke. But when the dust cleared, the wall was still there, untouched.

Maceo's eyes went wide. “No way! Jared, your sword's unbreakable. Why didn't that leave a mark?”

Jared didn't answer. His face hardened. He lifted the Dragonslayer Sword again, this time pouring even more power into it. The blade lit up brilliantly as a second wave of sword energy roared toward the wall.

However, the outcome remained the same. The stone wall stood unscathed, like it had swallowed the blow entirely.

“Brute force won't cut it,” Jared said, sheathing the sword. His tone dropped. “There's an arcane array behind this wall. If we can find the core and break it, the wall should disappear on its own.”

Maceo scratched his head, frustrated. “But where exactly is the core? This wall's huge. We can't go around knocking on every inch of it.”

Jared closed his eyes and began channeling his spiritual energy. Under the effect of the Focus Technique, his senses sharpened. He tuned into every fluctuation in the air around them, waiting for the slightest shift.

After a few moments, his eyes snapped open and locked onto the lower right corner of the wall. The runes there flickered just a bit faster than the others, as if energy was concentrating in that spot.

“That's it,” he said, pointing. “Right there.”

Without hesitation, Maceo rushed to the corner and threw a heavy punch at it. But the second his fist made contact, a powerful recoil blasted him backward. He hit the ground hard with a thud.

“Watch out,” Jared warned, hurrying to help him up. “That's the arcane array's core. Its defenses are strong.”
