The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5742

The instant Jared crossed the void passage, a maelstrom of spatial energy slammed into him—wilder, more chaotic than any dimensional tide he had ever dared to ride.

The passage leading toward level ten trembled like a dying vein in the universe. Instead of a calm night, Jared floated inside a whirlpool of chaotic void currents—angled ribbons of color that sliced and tore at his protective immortal aura with a sound like acid eating through bone.

Gritting his teeth, he poured every drop of celestial essence into layer after layer of shields, then bent the laws of time and space themselves, hunting for a single calm within the chaotic void currents.

In his right hand, he kept the Dragonslayer Sword poised, ready to hack apart any ragged seam that dared open before him.

But the barrier between the ninth and tenth levels proved thicker and more chaotic than anything his mind had ever sketched. Without warning, a deep-purple void storm coiled into existence overhead, its shape that of an ancient dragon, its breath the promise of utter erasure.

"Oh on!"

Jared's pupils shrank to pinpoints. He flooded his veins with power, drew Dragonslayer high, and brought it down in a blinding arc of silver flame aimed straight at the onrushing maelstrom.

Boom!

The collision rocked the tunnel. A brute force too huge for language slammed into Jared's chest, drove copper into his throat, and spilled fresh blood across his lips. He steadied himself, yet the tunnel shattered around him like black mirror glass—each fracture a doorway to nothing.

Crack... Crash!

His final shield screamed, tore apart, and an irresistible undertow hurled him out of the collapsing passage as though he were no more than driftwood.

It felt at once like a lifetime and the beat of a heart.

Thud!

He hit solid ground like a meteor, punching a crater into sheer mountain rock. Darkness flickered at the edge of his vision while his organs seemed to shuffle inside him, and every bone complained beneath the weight of worlds.
