Chapter 2686 Trap Myself

Chapter 2686 Trap MyselfThe aura the draconic essence emanated was intense. Once Jared got close to it, the draconic
essence began shaking.
The Power of Dragons within Jared seemed to be activated too, for it started rushing outward in waves.
novelbinThe beams of light from the arcane array above him flickered and danced, casting a radiant glow upon
the frenzied draconic essence. It appeared as though the light was attempting to tame the wild draconic
essence.
“W-What is this place? Are we in the stomach of a giant dragon?” Jared asked in shock. The sight of
the draconic essence and gigantic bone structures made Jared wonder if they had fallen into a giant
dragon's stomach.
The man smiled, but he shook his head.
At that moment, Jared recalled something and turned to face the man. “You said that you're the one
trapped here. Does that mean I'm in your stomach? What's going on? Who trapped you here?”
Jared found himself at a loss, unable to comprehend what was going on with the man.
“I'm the one who set up the arcane array to trap myself,” the man finally said.
His clarification only puzzled Jared even more. He had never encountered anyone who would set up an
arcane array to trap themself.
“Why would you do that?” The man smiled in silence before lifting a hand to point at the draconic essence. “Take a good look at
the draconic essence.”
Jared turned to look at the draconic essence as told.
His eyes widened in sheer astonishment. Before him lay a discovery that left him utterly surprised.
Nestled within the draconic essence, he spotted a faint black flame. Although it was weak, it continued
to burn.
Draconic essence was known for its unparalleled purity, rendering it impossible for any other materials
to coexist within its essence. Yet, standing before him was a draconic essence defying this very notion
and housing a peculiar black flame within its pristine core. The anomaly left Jared utterly baffled.
“What's inside this draconic essence?” he asked the man.
“That is the demon's demonic fire. I was grievously injured, and the draconic essence within me was
burned by demonic fire back then. That's why I set up this arcane array to trap myself within it.
Otherwise, the draconic essence within me would have turned evil, and the number of people who
would die because of it would be overwhelming.”
Jared's interest was piqued, and he hastily asked, “Sir, that means you must have been around when
the Celestial Battle broke out. What happened back then? Do you know who my father is? Many
people say that I'm the son of a dragon and that I am the Golden Dragon's True Form. What's up with
that?” Since Jared had the rare opportunity of encountering one of the ancient Draconians, he desperately
wished to find out more about his father.
Yet, the man turned quiet when he heard Jared's question. He then slowly said, “Who can say what
happened back then? The Heavenly Law collapsed during the battle, and chaos reigned. I was just a
simple person caught in the mess. What can I possibly know?”
A somber expression clouded the man's features.
It took him a while before he continued, “Indeed, you have the blood of Draconians flowing in you.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to come here. As for who your father is, perhaps you'll find out
when you've really grown up.”
A profound respect and reverence crossed the man's countenance when he spoke about Jared's
father.
Noticing that, Jared stopped pursuing the topic. It dawned on him that he would have to embark on the
journey of uncovering more about his father on his own. Every time he asked about his father, he
encountered this peculiar expression on people's faces, signaling their unwillingness to divulge any
information.
“Then why did you bring me here?”
At that moment, Jared realized that the man had to have other motives for bringing him into the arcane
array.
