Jared initially thought that the two men earlier had caught up to him. But when he had scrambled up to his feet and
swung his gaze over, he saw a ferocious giant lion eyeing him predatorily.
Fangs were visible in its mouth that reeked of the coppery stench of blood, and it kept roaring lowly. “Haha… Serves
you right for running your mouth! Now, you’re in trouble!”
At the sight of the giant lion, Ranzoph guffawed. Conversely, Jared wore a look of utter desolation. Good Lord! I
merely griped for a bit. How could the person who created the secret realm be so petty to send a demon beast to
teach me a lesson?
Helplessness swamped him as he stared at the demon beast before him. This time, it’s probably impossible for me
to make a break for it! Keeping its eyes fixed on the man, the giant lion made no move to attack. Instead, it circled
him relentlessly.

At that time, death would be the only fate awaiting him if he had to face the demon beast in front of him and the
duo.
No sooner had he geared up to make a move against the giant lion than the two men caught up with him. The
instant the duo noticed that his path was blocked by a demon beast, they both dissolved into laughter..
“We’re downright lucky today, Grant! Not only do we get to kill Jared to obtain the promised. resources, but we’ll
also be gaining a beast core!” Ronan exclaimed excitedly as he regarded the giant lion..
“Indeed, we’re lucky today. But shall we kill the demon beast first or Jared?” Grant mused. Ronan had a severed
arm right then, so his capabilities were diminished significantly. If they were to deal with the giant lion and Jared
simultaneously, it would likely be difficult for them to emerge victorious quickly. Therefore, they needed to team up
and deal with either of the two first.
“Let’s kill Jared first. He cut off my arm. I’m going to make him suffer in return!” Ronan declared, eyeballing Jared
icily.
“Sure.” In response, Grant gave a dip of his head. Without an ounce of hesitation, he leaped up. In a flash, the
sword in his hand glinted sharply in the light, heading straight for Jared.
When that happened, the Dragonslayer Sword in Jared’s hand flew out. Alongside its incessant buzzing, streams of
sword energy blasted forth and blocked the man’s blade.
Following that sight, Ronan swung his sword one-handed and charged at Jared. He was wholly confident that he
could kill the latter with just an arm since the man no longer had the protection offered by the Dragonslayer Sword.
Jared stared at the man rushing at him, plunging into helplessness for a moment. His capabilities were suppressed,
and he could not fight Ronan..
Just as Ronan was about to reach him, he abruptly caught sight of the giant lion still eyeing him predatorily. An idea
instantly popped into his mind. Without warning, he shot his hand out at the giant lion. He wanted to devise a way to
pit Ronan and the giant lion against each other. Then, he would have a chance of survival.

For that reason, he planned to provoke the giant lion. Consequently, things would be chaotic,. and he would be able
to find an opportunity to take flight.
When he swung his hand out at the giant lion, he reckoned that it would be infuriated and lunge at him.
Unexpectedly, it darted to the side and dodged the attack. Having done so, it rolled its eyes and threw Jared a
disdainful look. Jared was utterly stunned by that look, never having expected a demon beast to discern his motive.
That was the reason it dodged. It had absolutely no intention of making a move.
“Die!” While he was distracted, Ronan reached him and brought the sword in his hand down on Jared’s back
mercilessly.
Clang! A crisp bang rang out, upon which Jared flew. backward. Blood gushed out of a bone-deep wound on his
back incessantly. Severely injured, Jared spurted a mouthful of blood, and his vision grew increasingly blurry. In the
end, he passed out.
Ronan glanced at his sword, cursing, “D*mn it! How exactly did he train his physical body that it’s so tough?” He
strutted toward Jared with his sword in hand. The latter was already out cold, so he had let his guard down entirely.
