A Man Like None Other

Pairs of eyes kept approaching Jared, filling the entire thatched house with a faint red light. As the eyes drew nearer, the formation around the thatched house activated, encasing it in protective rays of light.

These entities, seeing the activated formation, did not continue their approach. They merely stared at Jared, their unrelenting gaze making his scalp tingle with unease. Jared felt a slight relief due to the formation barrier, as he had no idea to whom these red eyes belonged. If they were monsters, he wouldn’t be too worried. However, if they were powerful magic cultivators, it could spell trouble.

After a while, the entities did not come any closer, indicating that the formation had indeed deterred them. Relieved, Jared took a deep breath and resumed practicing the divine pattern.
