After the group got a night's rest in the forest, Godrick managed to recover most of his strength.
Hence, Jared planned to continue his escape with Flaxseed and Godrick at the first break of dawn.
Just as they were about to leave, the arcane arrays set up by Flaxseed were suddenly triggered. The continuous firing of infernos was quickly followed by screams of men.
“Jared, someone's here. We have to move,” Flaxseed suggested frantically, to which Jared nodded in acknowledgment.
Just as they were about to leave with Godrick, they heard someone swearing. “Who the f*ck has set up arcane arrays in the middle of the forest?”
The voice caused Jared to stop in his tracks and sped toward the direction of the arcane array.
Flaxseed and Godrick, too, followed behind him.
By the time Jared arrived, he saw Archer and Skyler burnt by Flaxseed's arcane array.
Despite their strength, both of them were not experienced in dealing with arcane arrays.
Without a moment's hesitation, Jared dispelled the arrays with a wave of his hand.
At the same time, Archer and Skyler hurried up to Jared once they spotted him.
“Why are both of you here?” Jared asked in surprise.
“Mr. Chance, Master has tasked us with leading you away by the sea. Now that the entire surroundings are saturated with your pursuers, it would be impossible for you to escape,” Skyler explained.
“By sea?” Jared was stunned.
“Yes. Once we go over this mountain, we'll be able to see a vast ocean from where you can leave,” Skyler elaborated.
“Why have I not heard any of you mention this before?”
