Chapter 1958

Chapter 1958Seeing that, everyone gasped in disbelief. Even Jose and the like froze in shock. None of them had
expected that the arcane array would be able to resist their combined efforts, which had been bolstered
by the power of various sacred martial arts relics.
After a moment of utter shock, Jose's demeanor shifted dramatically. A menacing glimmer appeared in
his eyes and his countenance darkened as he scowled in anger.
Skylar said worriedly, “Sir, they were still unable to destroy the arcane array despite joining forces and
having the help of sacred martial arts relics. Is it too powerful for them? If they can't destroy it, all of our
efforts will have been for nothing.”
As he watched in a corner, he grew increasingly anxious to discover that Jose and the like couldn't
destroy the arcane array despite their combined efforts.
Malphas snapped, “What a bunch of trash. Do they not understand how important it is to find the core
of the arcane array in order to destroy it? There are so many people here. Don't tell me none of them
knows where the core is!”
He had not expected that the people here knew nothing about arcane arrays.
Jose's aura kept intensifying. He was determined not to be seen as a fool and be the subject of ridicule
for his inability to destroy the arcane array.
“Let's have another go!” With that, Jose and his companions launched another attack again. This time, they had put in every
ounce of their energy and were determined to see a successful outcome.
The mighty force caused the earth on Encanta Island to tremble, and the sound of crashing waves
could be heard from miles away.
Alas, nothing changed. The arcane array was still intact.
After launching two consecutive assaults, Jose and his cohorts had expended half of their martial
energy. They glanced at each other in silence.
If they couldn't destroy the arcane array, there was no way they would get to enter the ancient ruins.
Nevertheless, the formidability of the arcane array only made everyone grow more excited about the
ancient ruins, for they were sure there must be some treasures hidden within. In fact, the rumored
magical items that would grant immortality might very well be true. The prospect of finally laying their
eyes on such treasures was too tantalizing to ignore.
Skylar was getting anxious. If no one could destroy the arcane array, the traps they had laid out would
be in vain.
“Sir, should we destroy the arcane array ourselves?” he suggested.
They had set up this arcane array, so it was possible for them to be able to destroy it as well.
novelbinTo his surprise, the spirit told him, “Destroying the arcane array is not possible, as it had been
personally created by Lord Tanner himself. But I'm surprised by the magnitude of power it held, too.” Skylar froze in disbelief. If it cannot be destroyed, we have no choice but to wait!
Jose was looking crestfallen and helpless when Jared walked out and sneered, “You chose to use
brute strength to dismantle the arcane array instead of attempting to discover its core. I wonder how
you managed to come this far in cultivating.”
Marcelo was absolutely livid. He had already been simmering with anger before Jared spoke, but now
his temper had reached a boiling point. “Jared, what the f*ck did you just say? If you think you've got
what it takes, then destroy it instead of making sarcastic comments!” he demanded.
Jose narrowed his eyes and gave Jared a cold look. “Jared, what are you talking about? Are you
saying that you know where the core is?”
“Of course,” came Jared's answer.
Marcelo raised his voice to ask, “Stop boasting. Why don't you take action if you've got what it takes?
Are you attempting to reap the rewards without putting in any hard work?”
“Why would I take action? I'm free to do anything I want. What I do is none of your business.” Jared's
retort rendered Marcelo speechless.
Jose glanced at Jared calmly. “Jared, if you're able to destroy the arcane array, I'll allow you to join us
as one of the first to enter the ancient ruins. How does that sound?”
Clearly, the first group of people to gain access to the ancient ruins would have an undeniable
advantage over those that followed. To his surprise, Jared shook his head. “I can destroy the arcane array, but I won't follow you into the
ancient ruins. You are free to enter before me.”
Hearing that, Marcelo snorted icily. “Jared, are you scared that there would be traps or hidden weapons
within the ancient ruins?”
Jared's lips curled, but he didn't bother answering Marcelo's question.
His reaction merely served to increase Marcelo's fury.
