The Man's Decree

Regardless of Maurice’s howling complaints, Jared was constantly searching for an exit within the cave. Luckily, with Vermillion Demon Lord by his side, he didn’t feel alone.

The cave was immense, shrouded in utter darkness. Even Jared could only make out as far as a hundred meters!
