A Man Like None Other

“Of course I don’t need them,” Jared replied with a smile. With that, he was about to walk toward the forest when Feenix and Cloud expressed their desire to join him. However, Jared forbade them from doing so.

Unaware of the concealed dangers within Mount Crimson, he feared that Cloud and Feenix might become a liability, burdening him instead.

Jared had wanted to see if he could discover the presence of celestial energy. In the event he couldn’t, he didn’t mind settling for slaying a celestial beast.

Nonetheless, after scouting the surroundings, Jared was disappointed by the lack of ordinary demon beasts, let alone celestial beasts.

Also, there was no sign of any celestial energy after all. Nevertheless, the fact that they couldn’t be easily found made them all the more valuable.

Jared subsequently returned empty-handed. He didn’t venture out too far, for he wasn’t familiar with Mount Crimson after all. Upon his return, Jared noticed that Hamish had scattered some white powder around their camp.

The power not only stung his nose but also carried a disgusting stench.

When he saw Jared, Hamish advised, “Come back in here quickly. Once it gets dark, no one is allowed to leave. I’ve cast an arcane array around this place and scattered a powder that will scare demon beasts away. These will keep us safe tonight.”

Jared didn’t say a word after glancing at what Hamish had done. The simple arcane array and white powder could only stop small demon beasts at best and would be ineffective against larger and more powerful ones.
