A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5442

Power truly is everything. Jared lamented inwardly.

The warship glided into the corridor, three hundred Golden Armor Guards marching behind it—an unstoppable river bound for level six.

The golden warship hurtled through the void corridor with the certainty of a royal decree. Its hull glowed with spiritual light, and that sanctified sheen pushed the swirling chaotic energy aside until not even a tremor touched the deck.

Jared leaned against the rail amid the rush of windless speed. Below him, rows of Golden Armor Guards stood motionless, polished cuirasses catching every stray glint. His gaze drifted past them to the bow where Onneas watched the horizon.

Flanking her were four figures in dark-gold mail, helms hiding everything but eyes as sharp as whetted steel.

Unlike the ordinary guards, their aura did not flare outward. It folded inward, heavy and silent, like mountains wearing human skin.

Jared's spiritual sense probed them more than once, only to recoil as if he had touched a sleeping sea god.

He could no longer restrain his curiosity. "Ms. Yeats, the four Golden Armor Guards beside Ms. Dusko—who are they? They feel…different." His voice stayed low, respectful, yet wonder threaded every syllable.

Isabel followed his stare, a flicker of awe softening her usually calm features. "They are Ms. Dusko's personal guards, known as the Quartet Celestial Guards," she murmured. "They aren't ordinary Golden Armor Guards. They were chosen personally by the Celestial King. Each stands at Human Immortal Realm Level Five and fights as one. When they team up, they can match even a Human Immortal Realm Level Six."

Jared's breath caught. Human Immortal Realm Level Five, just as personal bodyguards.

That kind of strength could be considered legendary in level six. After all, Aurelius was only at Human Immortal Realm Level Two. To Jared's surprise, the strength of that caliber could only qualify as Onneas' personal guards.

Jared got a better understanding of Onneas' sincerity to mobilize her army this time around. The vast gap in strength between level eight and level six also dawned on him.

Right then, a roar burst from the tunnel mouth ahead. An intense demonic aura washed over as a bellow sounded. "How dare you barge into level six! Following my lord's order, anyone who enters here shall be killed!"
