A Man Like None Other

Is this really the Demon Lord? Is this how Jared reacts?

“All right, I admit my mistake,” Jared said. “I’ll help you restore your physical body as soon as possible. Isn’t that enough? Now, can you tell me how to get out of this cave?”

Jared could only apologize.

It had to be admitted that even if Vermilion Demon Lord was left with only a strand of his remaining soul, his strength still far surpassed his own.

Jared had completely missed the flame filament, whereas Vermilion Demon Lord not only noticed it but also managed to detect its unique aura.

This was the disparity, the difference in strength.

“I don’t know…” said Vermilion Demon Lord.

“Why are you still upset? Isn’t my apology enough?” Jared said, at a loss for words.

“I honestly don’t know why you’re apologizing a hundred times. It’s pointless. I’ve never been here before. If I had a physical body right now, I could have leveled the entire Divine Flame Mountain, wouldn’t that mean we’ll get out of here? So, won’t you lend me your physical body?” Vermilion Demon Lord suggested Upon hearing this, Jared quickly waved his hands and hurriedly walked forward.

By the time Vermilion Demon Lord had leveled the Divine Flame Mountain, he feared his own body would have already been reduced to ashes.

Jared was persistently leading Maurice forward, undeterred by the elder’s body constantly bumping and scraping against the uneven surfaces within the mountain cave.

No matter how Maurice called out, Jared pretended not to hear.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Quickly, Jared and his group arrived at a crossroads. There were four paths in total. Trusting his instincts, Jared chose one of them.

Having realized that he was in the Ethereal Realm, specifically inside the Divine Flame Mountain, Jared no longer felt panicked.

No matter which way one took, in the end, they could always find a way out of Divine Flame Mountain.

However, not long after they set off, another fork in the road appeared, Jared decided to continue on one of the paths.

Although the cave had an oppressive atmosphere, it was nothing to Jared.

Vermilion Demon Lord, being a soul remnant, feared no oppression whatsoever.

However, Maurice, although reduced to a mere shell, still had to endure the oppressive force. Furthermore, he had to bear the humiliation of being dragged around like a lifeless object, constantly colliding with rocks.

What Maurice desired most at that moment was the sweet release of death!

He yearned for death so much, but unfortunately, Jared wouldn’t allow him to die.

“Do you really think you can find your way out, blindly choosing paths and ignoring all rules?”

Seeing Jared wandering aimlessly, the frustrated Vermilion Demon Lord finally asked.

“I was simply following my instincts. If I couldn’t find a way out, I’d just keep going. I couldn’t really discern any rules. Why don’t you tell me, which path should I take?” Jared asked casually.

Vermilion Demon Lord looked at Jared. He knew that Jared was doing this on purpose, deliberately forcing him to lead the way.

And so, Jared had come to understand the nature of Vermillion Demon Lord. If he were to ask directly, he was certain he would receive no answer.

And so, Jared decided to just randomly walk around. When Vermilion Demon Lord himself felt bored, he would initiate the conversation.

And now, Vermilion Demon Lord took the initiative to speak.

“I wasn’t sure how to get out of here either. But with so many forks in the road, if you just follow your instincts, you’re bound to get lost. Plus, you can’t exactly rely on any spiritual sense in this place. However, I can teach you a method to find the right path!” Vermilion Demon Lord said.

“What’s the plan?” Jared’s eyes lit up, for he had been waiting for Vermilion Demon Lord’s strategy all along.

“Of course, it’s about scouting the way. With so many forks in the road, it’s impossible that each path leads somewhere. So, you could scout ahead…”

“Scout the way? How am I supposed to do that by myself? With all these forks in the road, it would take me forever to cover them all!” Upon hearing Vermilion Demon Lord’s method, Jared immediately deflated, exclaiming in dismay.

“Dummy, who asked you to scout ahead? You could have used something else in your place!” Vermilion Demon Lord gave Jared a glance and said.

“Other things?”

Jared glanced around, then shifted his gaze onto Maurice.

How was this guy supposed to find his way around without his limbs?

Seeing that Jared had not yet grasped his meaning, Vermilion Demon Lord had no choice but to explain, “I’ll teach you a secret technique. First, gather up the flame filaments within this cave, and when the time comes, you’ll have something to guide your way!”
