Caught in a double bind, Jared had sword marionettes attacking him from above and below, leaving him with no way to escape.
In the next second, he pressed his palms together, and two radiant beams of light suddenly emerged, creating a shield above his head. He planned to block the onslaught of a dozen or so sword marionettes descending upon him head-on.
The moment the sword marionettes made contact with his shield, they went berserk, desperately crashing into the barrier in an attempt to shatter it.
However, Jared's shield was incredibly sturdy and impregnable. Despite the relentless assault, they were unable to break through it.
Although he managed to temporarily halt their advance from above, this was not a sustainable solution. If this continued, his shield would eventually be overwhelmed and broken through.
Jared trained his gaze on the Dragonslayer Sword beneath his feet, his eyes gleaming with determination. Gritting his teeth, he propelled himself downward like a shooting star. He needed to retrieve his sword as quickly as possible, for he knew that his chances of getting away would be slim once those sword marionettes broke through his shield.
As he plunged into the midst of the sword marionettes, dozens of them were immediately alerted. Exuding a frenzied aura, they brandished their weapons and charged toward him.
With a swift motion, Jared grabbed the Dragonslayer Sword and turned to flee.
As he ran, he whipped out the Divine Bow and pulled the bowstring, releasing a barrage of arrows that shot toward the oncoming sword marionettes.
Since he couldn't escape upward, he had no choice but to flee to the side. Once he had moved away from that area, he planned to return to the lake above.
The dozens of sword marionettes erupted with furious roars, disregarding the rain of arrows unleashed by Jared. They charged recklessly toward him, showing no regard for their own lives.
“This bunch of mindless b*stards really have no fear of dying, huh?” he muttered to himself.
As Jared gazed at the sword marionettes, who were all Manifestors, a chill ran down his spine. He realized that if he were caught by them, he would likely meet his demise in an instant.
