A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4840

Boom!

The power of law struck. But still, the Celestial Devourer never appeared. The impact triggered an earth-shattering explosion, reducing the mountain to rubble.

Jared‘s figure vanished entirely. A massive crater, nearly a hundred meters deep, had formed where had stood.

“Jared!” Catalina cried out in panic, about to rush forward.

But Rosa and lsla grabbed arms, holding back.

“Don’t!” Rosa warned. “At your level, you won’t even make it halfway before you’re turned to ash!”

Kishor and Ararat stood frozen in shock.

“Uhm…” Ararat glanced at Kishor.

“What just happened?” Kishor muttered in disbelief.

“You said wasn’t bragging, so how did this happen?” Ararat asked.

“I… I don’t know! Something’s not right!” Kishor scratched his head.

“Should we go take a look?” Ararat asked.

“The power of law hasn’t faded yet. You think you’d survive?”

“No way!”

“I wouldn’t either…”

“Then we wait…”

Just as they were debating, a deep roar, like a dragon’s call, echoed from the pit.

A burst of golden light shot into the sky. Then, slowly rising from the depths of the crater, was an enormous golden bell, glowing with an ethereal light.

Wrapped around it, an enormous dragon coiled, its presence overwhelming. And beneath that golden bell, Jared stood completely unharmed.

“What kind of magical item is that?” Kishor gasped.

“A relic capable of withstanding the power of law. That thing is no ordinary divine item,” Ararat muttered, eyes wide in disbelief.

“You’ll have plenty of chances. I’ve made enemies with Celestial Palace, so you’ll have to help me out in the future,” Jared said.

Ararat’s expression changed. “Celestial Palace? You mean that arrogant sect that acts like they’re celestials?”

“That’s the one. You’ve heard of them?”

“Of course. Back in the celestial realm, they were insufferable. No one really liked them.”

Jared’s eyes narrowed. “Have you fought anyone from Celestial Palace before?”

“I have. I dueled one of their overlords and lost.”

Jared’s breath caught. “Which one?”

At his peak, Ararat was absolutely formidable. It was surprising that he’d lost to an overlord of the Celestial Palace.

“It was the third overlord,” Ararat said.

“That’s a relief then…” Jared sighed.

Following the third overlord, there were still the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth overlords. For now, it didn’t seem like was in any immediate danger.

Hmm… After all, the Celestial Palace wouldn’t send the third overlord at once just to deal with me!
