A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5308

“Get away from me!”

Lyra summoned the last flicker of will and shoved at him, only for Kael to catch her wrist. The fiery contact ripped a shiver through her body, proof that whatever drug he had slipped her was seizing control.

Kael's laughter rang, low and triumphant. “Haha, the powder took effect! Relax, my dear, I promise I will treat you with the utmost care.”

When he wanted to hold Lyra in his arms, a gold sword light split the courtyard like lightning.

Slash!

Blood spurred. One of Kael's arm was severed.

“Argh!”

His howling tore through the sky. Kael stared at his severed arm in disbelief.

Jared stood behind him soaked in blood like a Bloodbane God from depths of hell.

He had spent most of his energy on the previous attack. His murderous intent did not decrease.

“I told you. If you touch her, you die!”

Shaking, Kael stared at the stump where his arm had been, terror and hatred warring in his eyes. “I'll kill you!”

Clamping his remaining hand around his sword hilt, he unleashed glacial sword energy that froze the courtyard in a shell of rime.

Jared no longer cared about dying. He stepped through the killing frost, each footfall leaving a charred print as the internal flame inside him slipped its leash.

Kael snarled, “Did you think I was the same man you faced three days ago? My father has gifted me the Glacial Adamite Technique! Tonight I will carve you into pieces!” He drove the Glacial Sword Art to its peak, a storm of ice arrows pelting Jared like a winter hurricane.

Jared did not dodge. Dragonslayer Sword flickered, sketching a shield of interwoven scarlet and cobalt flames. The internal flame fused into a powerful shield. Every ice arrow that struck hissed once, then vanished as harmless vapor.

Kael's voice cracked. “Impossible!”

Slash!
