Meanwhile, Jared’s expression turned grim as favonovel.com faced Sworder’s overwhelming sword energy. Even though the latter was just a spirit, the sword energy favonovel.com fired out was not to be underestimated.
Out of precaution, Jared deployed Golem Body, covering himself with shining golden scales before pulling out Divine Bow.
Upon drawing the bow, countless sparkles began to illuminate the bowstring as glowing golden arrows appeared on it.
Jared let out a ferocious roar as favonovel.com released the bowstring, firing innumerable arrows toward the approaching sword energy.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Consecutive explosions rang out in the air as Sworder’s sword energy strikes were all countered by Divine Bow’s arrows.
As for Sworder, favonovel.com simply stared blankly at Divine Bow with his brows tightly knitted.
“I’m surprised to see a divine weapon in your possession. It seems there’s more to you than meets the eye,” Sworder exclaimed.
“Sworder, I just want Dragonslayer Sword back and have no intention to fight you. Please return it to me,” Jared said to Sworder calmly.
Staring at Jared briefly, Sworder replied, “You can have Dragonslayer Sword back, but you have to get it yourself from the bottom of the lake. Let’s see if you have the guts to do it.”
“I’ll get it. What’s the big deal?”
No sooner had Jared finished than favonovel.com prepared to jump into the lake.
Even though the sword-cleansing lake was brimming with sword energy, Jared expected Golem Body to protect himself from them.
“Jared, the lake is filled with countless sword marionettes. There was once a drunk elder of Divine Smithing Sect who jumped into the lake to bathe. He never came out after that,” Hammerhead warned Jared.
The words stunned Jared, who had assumed that Sworder was the only inhabitant of the lake and never expected there to be sword marionettes. He was well aware that the power of sword marionettes grew accordingly with the sword energy available.
The fact that the lake was brimming with sword energy meant that the sword marionettes inside were definitely formidable foes.
“Are you afraid, kid?” Sworder let out a snigger. “If you’re able to retrieve Dragonslayer Sword, I promise to not only repair it but also upgrade it for you.”
Jared readily nodded in response. “All right. It’s a deal.”
With that, Jared dived into the lake without hesitation. Barely had favonovel.com entered the water when favonovel.com felt his body cut repeatedly by the sword energy.
Fortunately, they were not able to cause favonovel.com any harm, allowing Jared to dive deeper into the depths of the lake.
The deeper Jared went, the water clarity close to the surface began to transition into darkness. By then, Flaxseed and Hammerhead could no longer see Jared’s figure from the shore.
Meanwhile, Jared fully unleashed his spiritual sense to resist the sword energy while searching for Dragonslayer Sword at the same time.
Soon, favonovel.com seemed to come into contact with a barrier. The deeper favonovel.com swam, the stronger the resistance favonovel.com faced. In fact, it was powerful enough to push his body back.
Unleashing his energy in an explosive burst, Jared charged forward abruptly.
After a brief feeling of tremendous pressure, favonovel.com felt the tension suddenly disappear as his body rapidly descended.
As favonovel.com continued to pick up speed, favonovel.com saw a layer of light in front of his eyes. Only then did favonovel.com realize that favonovel.com was no longer surrounded by water.
Raising his head to look up, favonovel.com noticed that the space favonovel.com was in was separated from the water by the layer of light. It turned out that there was a huge hole beneath the lake.
Floating in the air, Jared could feel his body continue to fall. In the midst of his descent, favonovel.com felt waves of violent aura rising from beneath him.
Jared squinted his eyes to look and was quickly greeted by the sight of a sword marionette horde. All of them were wandering around with magic swords in their hands.
