A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5185

“We’ll never know unless I try.” Determination blazed in Jared’s eyes; with the power he now commanded, he believed he could summon the lightning and carve a path to the Fourth Heaven.

Outside the Seventh Hall, Jared sat cross-legged on the vast square.

He drew a slow breath. Every drop of his energy erupted at once, whipping the air into a howling vortex around him.

Jhaelyn clutched Jemina’s sleeve, eyes wide. “What is Jared doing?” she whispered.

Saleto’s expression tightened. “He means to force the lightning tribulation to fall and tear open a passage to the Fourth Heaven.”

The two women gasped in unison. To summon the tribulation was already courting death; to use that power to rip space apart was nothing short of wagering his life for a single throw of the dice.

A moment later, the clear sky blackened. Clouds knotted above Darkwind Abyss, silver snakes of lightning writhing beneath the ink.

Saleto muttered, “It has begun.”

Boom!

A violet bolt as thick as a dragon’s spine lunged from the clouds, scorching toward Jared.

His eyes snapped open, fierce. The Dragonslayer Sword leapt into his hand, and he cleaved upward into the falling fire.

Gold sword-light collided with purple storm-fire, the explosion shaking the square and flinging raw energy across the stone like shattered glass.

The shock drove him three steps back; blood streaked his lip, yet the hunger for battle only burned brighter in his eyes.

“That’s more like it!” he roared, leaping straight toward the seething clouds.

Now.

Crack!
