Chapter 1005: Claudia Is Dead

Tina exchanged a glance with Uncle at her side. They could see the same thought reflected in each other's eyes.

If it came to this, they would have no choice but to destroy the Jade Armour.

When lives were at stake, such things were the least worth worrying about.

The deadline was approaching fast. Claudia, unwilling to wait any longer, launched a full-force attack against the two of them. In her eyes, anyone's life was expendable as long as she achieved her goal.

If she succeeded, all her past deeds would be wiped clean.

Jared's abilities were restricted, but the Jade Armour within him provided an endless supply of energy. Tina, meanwhile, infused her powers into the silver needles in her hand. Together, they resisted Claudia's assault.

Even within the array, Claudia struggled to gain the upper hand.

Jared had the Jade Armour for protection, while Tina was unaffected by the array's constraints.

Claudia's movements became increasingly sluggish. Yet, using the array's core position, she repeatedly evaded their strikes.

Tina seized an opportunity. She and Uncle worked together to corner Claudia, leaving her nowhere to escape.

Suddenly, the sky changed. What had been a bright, sunny day turned dark in an instant.

Claudia abruptly stopped and looked up. A strange light glimmered in her eyes. "The time has come. Your death is upon you."

Tina and Jared glanced at the strange phenomenon in the sky, reacting quickly to form a defensive stance.

Jared reached for his Jade Armour and was about to destroy it when an invisible force suddenly pulled it away.

The Jade Armour spun in midair before hovering steadily above the array, radiating waves of light.

Claudia's lips curled into a smirk. She had believed the Jade Armour required recognition from its wielder to activate. But it seemed that, once within the array, the artifact automatically returned to its place.

"The array has been activated. Do you really think someone like you can handle such a sacred item?"
