A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5305

They were still talking when Flaxseed lurched in, his head bandaged, yet his grin entirely unscathed. “Jared! I'm alive! That geezer's holy light looked fierce, but it's got nothing on your Dragonslayer Sword!”

“Easy, mind the wound,” Jared said, helpless and amused in equal measure.

Flaxseed never did recall pain for long.

“Forget the wound. Look what I brought.” He produced a black clay jar from his robe. “This is a balm made from the inner core of an Amethyst Toad in Venom Valley. It's specifically used for injuries. Apply it, you will be moving tomorrow!”

Jared's eye twitched at the bubbling green paste. “Are you sure that isn't poison?”

“You doubt me?” Stung, Flaxseed smeared a green paste onto a fist-sized pebble. The stone hissed, green smoke curling upward. “See? It even eats rock. Perfect for cleaning a wound!”

Jared was speechless.

A calm voice floated in from outside the courtyard. “Mr. Chance, healing cannot be rushed.”

Ararat stepped through the moonlit gate, carrying a jade box that glimmered like frost. “This is the Focus Agate. It can cure the meridian.”

When the lid parted, cool fragrance swept the yard. Inside, a milky half-liquid swirled, threads of spiritual energy coiling above it like morning fog.

Jared's pupils tightened. A treasure like this was rare in level five.

He rose quickly. “Such a gift is too much for me.”

Ararat pressed the box into his hands. “You saved my life, Mr. Chance. Trinkets cannot repay that.”

His tone sharpened. “The Sacred Sword Manor is ready to take action. You must regain your strength. Should trouble rise, speak my name toward the city lord's mansion and I will come.”
