The Man’s Decree

The Blazing Tiger was clearly more powerful than Jared, but it didn't even stop to fight the man when being pursued and only focused on fleeing.

Jared lost track of how long he had been chasing the beast, but he soon found himself deep within the depths of Demon Beast Mountain.

Startled, Jared halted in his tracks as he scanned the area with his spiritual sense. That was when he detected multiple formidable auras surrounding him. These auras were non-threatening at the moment, but Jared knew if the beasts that gave off the auras spotted him, they would attack him without hesitation. By then, Jared might not even be able to fight back.

Therefore, he watched the Blazing Tiger scamper away and decided to stop his pursuit. He turned, wanting to head back.

As soon as he gave up on chasing the Blazing Tiger and prepared to leave, the beast stopped and blocked his way with a roar. With its mouth opened wide, it threatened to attack Jared if he so much as made an attempt to leave.

Jared was bewildered. The Blazing Tiger was escaping from me, but now that I've given up on chasing it, it's trying to stop me from leaving?

All of a sudden, he frowned as realization dawned on him. He seemed to have figured out the beast's intention. It must've lured me here on purpose!

Anxiety filled him because he had never expected a demon beast to possess such intelligence. However, he was not going to let the Blazing Tiger get in his way. The Dragonslayer Sword in his hand began gleaming, and the golden dragon roared as it took form.

A hint of fear appeared within the Blazing Tiger's eyes as it retreated backward upon seeing the golden dragon.

Noticing the Blazing Tiger's reaction, Jared stepped forward, wanting to drive it away. He didn't want to start a fight now, for the commotion might attract the other demon beasts' attention. If that happened, Jared wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

Roar!

Following the Blazing Tiger's roar, countless demon beasts around them growled in response. Instantly, Jared sensed multiple terrifying auras rushing toward him from all directions.

His heart skipped a beat as he swung his Dragonslayer Sword, sending a beam of light rushing straight toward the Blazing Tiger.

The Blazing Tiger leaped into the air and dodged the attack while Jared seized the chance to charge forward immediately. He wanted to get out of this place as soon as possible.

Alas, numerous demon beasts appeared in front of Jared before he could make his escape.

They all emitted auras that were just as formidable as the Blazing Tiger's. As they trained their eyes on Jared, their overwhelming presence stopped Jared in his tracks.

Knowing that he wasn't capable enough to square up to them, Jared slowly retreated backward with his sword in hand while fixing his gaze on the horrifying demon beasts.
