A Man Like None Other

Chapter 2461 Pursue

Caught in a double bind, Jared had sword marionettes attacking him from above and below, leaving him with no

way to escape.

In the next second, he pressed his palms together, and two radiant beams of light suddenly emerged, creating a

shield above his head. He planned to block the onslaught of a dozen or so sword marionettes descending upon him

head-on.

The moment the sword marionettes made contact with his shield, they went berserk, desperately crashing into the

barrier in an attempt to shatter it.

However, Jared's shield was incredibly sturdy and impregnable. Despite the relentless assault, they were unable to

break through it.

Although he managed to temporarily halt their advance from above, this was not a sustainable solution. If this

continued, his shield would eventually be overwhelmed and broken through.

Jared trained his gaze on the Dragonslayer Sword beneath his feet, his eyes gleaming with determination. Gritting

his teeth, he propelled himself downward like a shooting star. He needed to retrieve his sword as quickly as

possible, for he knew that his chances of getting away would be slim once those sword marionettes broke through

his shield.

As he plunged into the midst of the sword marionettes, dozens of them were immediately alerted. Exuding a

frenzied aura, they brandished their weapons and charged toward him.

With a swift motion, Jared grabbed the Dragonslayer Sword and turned to flee.

As he ran, he whipped out the Divine Bow and pulled the bowstring, releasing a barrage of arrows that shot toward

the oncoming sword marionettes.

the oncoming sword merionettes.

Since he couldn't escape upward, he had no choice but to flee to the side. Once he had moved away from that

area, he planned to return to the lake above.

The dozens of sword marionettes erupted with furious roars, disregarding the rain of arrows unleashed by Jared.

They charged recklessly toward him, showing no regard for their own lives.

“This bunch of mindless b*stards really have no fear of dying, huh?” he muttered to himself.

As Jared gazed at the sword marionettes, who were all Manifestors, a chill ran down his spine. He realized that if he

were caught by them, he would likely meet his demise in an instant.

Rumble...

Just then, the dozen or so sword marionettes finally broke through his shield and joined forces with the main group

before charging toward Jared. They pursued him relentlessly, seemingly determined to prevent him from taking the

Dragonslayer Sword.

Seeing that, Jared summoned all his might to draw the bowstring taut and, with a fierce yell, released a barrage of

arrows imbued with Ultimate Force at the sword marionettes.

In the blink of an eye, the arrows found their mark on several sword marionettes, yet their strikes proved futile in

bringing them down. His assaults failed to halt the relentless advance of the sword marionettes.

Despite releasing dozens of arrows in rapid succession, the power of each projectile was significantly weakened,

leading to non-lethal strikes against the sword marionettes.

Just as Jared was fleeing and fending off the sword marionettes, a formidable aura suddenly surged from behind

him.

Startled, he whipped his head around, and upon seeing what was behind him, he broke out in a cold sweat.

To his dismay, he saw countless sword marionettes approaching him from behind, closing in on him.

The number of sword marionettes in this group alone exceeded a hundred, and now both squads of sword

marionettes were converging toward him. It was a daunting sight that terrified him to the core.

“Where the f*ck did these b*stards come from?”

Jared couldn't help but curse out loud. He knew all too well that the sheer number of sword marionettes gathered

together held an unimaginable level of power. Even if they didn't attack, the intimidating aura emanating from

them alone was enough to crush him.

He had no choice but to change direction and flee. At that moment, a peculiar scene was unfolding within the

sword-cleansing lake. Jared was running frantically ahead while a horde of sword marionettes was pursuing him

relentlessly from behind, their sinister figures looming ominously.

With no time to spare for counterattacks, he could only rely on his agility and nimble footwork to evade their

relentless pursuit. Thankfully, their lack of sentience and sluggish movements granted him a temporary respite

from imminent danger.
