A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1092

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.

“I don’t think we’ll be able to go through this door. Let’s try looking upstairs instead.”

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.

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.

Jared and Lizbeth encountered the same obstacle on every floor as they continued making their way 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…”
