Chapter 1092 Fate
Jared could feel his internal organs crashing into each other as blood trickled out of the corner of his
mouth.
Lizbeth quickly ran toward him and helped wipe the blood off his mouth.
After staring at the metal door for a few minutes, Jared recalled something and came to a sudden
realization.
“I understand now! This metal door returns whatever force it receives! The harder I hit it, the harder it’ll
hit back at me! Looks like it’ll be impossible to forcefully break through the restriction…” he exclaimed
with a frown.
“What do we do, then? Are we trapped here forever?” Lizbeth asked with panic written all over her
face.
It wouldn’t be a problem for Jared, who had already achieved the Golden Elixir Stage, to go without
food and water. However, the same could not be said for Lizbeth, who was no different from an
ordinary human after losing her powers.
As there was no food in the area, she wouldn’t even last a few days unless they could get out of there.

Jared then took a moment to adjust his aura before going up the tower with Lizbeth.
The two of them had just arrived at the stairwell when a wall of light appeared in front of them, blocking
their way up the stairs.
“What? We can’t go up either?” Lizbeth exclaimed in shock.
“Step back, Lizbeth. I’m going to check it out.”
Jared told her to back away from the wall as he wasn’t sure what it would do.
He then slowly reached out to touch the wall of light, only to feel an electric shock when his finger made
contact with it.
The next thing they knew, a few images appeared on the wall before disappearing a second later.
It all happened really quickly, but Jared managed to get a clear look at the images and saw that it was
a person performing some strikes.
Unsure of what to do, he tried mimicking the movements of that person to the best of his ability. A
second later, the wall of light disappeared before their very eyes.
After taking a few steps forward, Jared confirmed that it was safe and motioned at Lizbeth to come
over.
“You can come up now, Lizbeth!”
“What did you see, Jared? I saw you doing some kind of weird move earlier,” Lizbeth asked curiously
while making her way toward him.
Jared shot her a strange look in response. “Didn’t you see the images on the wall? It was like a huge
television screen or something.”
“Huh? I didn’t see anything. All I saw was you doing some weird move in front of the wall,” Lizbeth
replied while shaking her head, much to Jared’s confusion.
What? Was I the only one who could see those images? Well, whatever… I don’t have time to be
worrying about this right now. Our main priority is to find our way out of Pentacarna Tower!
Jared and Lizbeth were heading up the stairs when another wall of light appeared in front of them.
This time, Jared placed his palm on it right away.
He felt the same electric shock on his fingertips and saw a few images flash past again.
Having learned from his experience with the previous wall of light, Jared mimicked the movements
shown in the images to make the wall of light disappear.

up the tower.
Upon reaching the top floor, Jared recalled the moves he had seen earlier and performed them on the
spot.
A few seconds after he completed the performance, the entire top floor of Pentacarna Tower started to
bend and twist like it was being distorted.
Eventually, a beam of light shone into the room, and a humanoid figure slowly appeared in front of
them.
Jared squinted at the figure to get a better look at it, only to see that it was a friendly-looking old man
dressed in white robes.
To have an old man materialize before one’s very eyes was indeed a shocking sight, so much so that
even Jared was feeling a little nervous as he stared at the old man.
The old man then slowly walked up to Jared, eyed him from head to toe, and stroked his long, white
beard as he said, “After waiting for hundreds of years, the son of a dragon shows up at last! Perhaps
this is fate, after all…”
