A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5049

“Wait... could these coffins be made from congealed blood?” Jared muttered, eyes wide.

The stench of blood in the air was heavy, almost suffocating. Strange runes moved slowly over the surface of each coffin, like leaves floating on a river current.

Mysterious energy hovered around them, seeping into the coffins as though something inside was feeding on it.

Jared and Jemina kept studying the coffins in silence, each lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Aziel was growing impatient. He had assumed the two of them had found something, but he wasn't willing to approach blindly. “You, go check it out,” he said, nodding at Verdin.

Verdin frowned. “Why don't you go?”

“If you don't, I'll kill you. Take your pick—walk forward or die right here,” Aziel snapped.

Verdin's face soured. He was furious, but it didn't matter. He couldn't stand up to Aziel, and even if he could, Dexton was still backing him. There was no way he'd make it out alone.

Gritting his teeth, Verdin reluctantly stepped forward. He looked back at Nymeria, silently begging for help. But Nymeria's expression didn't change. She acted like she hadn't even noticed.

This world had no room for pity for the weak.

If one wanted to survive, one had to grow stronger. That was the only way out.

So Verdin had no choice but to approach Jared and Jemina.

They were still deep in thought, studying the coffins, and didn't even notice Verdin approaching. He walked cautiously, watching his every step.

Boom!
