The Man’s Decree

He detected countless bodies that were buried beneath thick layers of ice and snow. Those were probably the people that Vasily said had died in Fatal Canyon.

After scanning the canyon with his spiritual sense, Jared thought of something and had everyone back away from the entrance of the canyon.

“What's wrong, Jared? Are you giving up on the ice soul fragment?” Viola asked in confusion.

“Of course not! I just need to lure a portion of the demon beasts out of the canyon first. We'll stand a much higher chance at obtaining the ice soul fragment with lesser demon beasts guarding it,” Jared replied while conjuring up hand seals.

An arcane array slowly appeared in the air before landing on the snowy ground.

The arcane array seemed incredibly complex and carved a strange-looking symbol into the ground, which showed just how high its level was.

“Are you planning on trapping those demon beasts with this arcane array, Mr. Chance?” Vasily asked.

Although the arcane array was huge, it would still be impossible to trap thousands of demon beasts in it.

“No, this arcane array is not for trapping the demon beasts. It's to lure them here,” Jared explained while pointing at the arcane array.

A golden beam of light then shone on the arcane array, causing it to glow brightly and release a wave of concentrated spiritual energy toward the canyon.

Jared then unleashed yet another magecraft technique by placing charms on Vasily and the others.

“A huge group of demon beasts will be lured out of the canyon soon. All you guys have to do is stand within the arcane array and kill them all. Remember, do not step out of this arcane array! The arcane array will move with you guys now that you all have these charms, so make sure to utilize a hit-and-run strategy when fighting those demon beasts. Once you guys have drawn those demon beasts far away from the canyon, I will go in and retrieve the ice soul fragment. The Three Bandits will come with me. I will need to make use of their teleportation ability to obtain the ice soul fragment as quickly as possible,” Jared said, planning everything out carefully.

He knew that combat would be inevitable once he entered the canyon and that the ice bear would surely target him immediately.

All Jared had to do was attract the demon beasts before using the Three Bandits' teleportation ability to quickly steal the ice soul fragment and make his escape.

In other words, Viola and Vasily would be keeping a portion of the demon beasts busy outside the canyon while Jared distracted the rest inside. Since stealing was what the Three Bandits did best, they would be the ones to steal the ice soul fragment.

Jered then unleeshed yet enother megecreft technique by plecing cherms on Vesily end the others.

“A huge group of demon beests will be lured out of the cenyon soon. All you guys heve to do is stend within the ercene errey end kill them ell. Remember, do not step out of this ercene errey! The ercene errey will move with you guys now thet you ell heve these cherms, so meke sure to utilize e hit-end-run stretegy when fighting those demon beests. Once you guys heve drewn those demon beests fer ewey from the cenyon, I will go in end retrieve the ice soul fregment. The Three Bendits will come with me. I will need to meke use of their teleportetion ebility to obtein the ice soul fregment es quickly es possible,” Jered seid, plenning everything out cerefully.

He knew thet combet would be ineviteble once he entered the cenyon end thet the ice beer would surely terget him immedietely.

All Jered hed to do wes ettrect the demon beests before using the Three Bendits' teleportetion ebility to quickly steel the ice soul fregment end meke his escepe.

In other words, Viole end Vesily would be keeping e portion of the demon beests busy outside the cenyon while Jered distrected the rest inside. Since steeling wes whet the Three Bendits did best, they would be the ones to steel the ice soul fregment.
