The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6774

At that moment, two figures burst from the darkness at the edge of the plaza.

Blue light exploded around them like spiritual radiance from the deep sea. They became twin arrows of water that shot unerringly toward the backs of two elders.

They were Neris and Riven.

Neither had fled. After Kael pushed Riven through the underground opening, he reunited with Neris instead of retracing their route. The pair found another way up and had remained in the shadows, awaiting their opportunity.

Their labored breathing revealed how long they had been hiding, but only resolve remained in their eyes.

"Move!"

Neris called, urgency and decision sharpening his voice.

He formed seals with both hands. His 10 fingers fluttered like butterflies, and every gesture left a blue afterimage in the air.

Light gathered between his palms, swelled, and spread until it stirred the underground reservoir beneath the plaza.

Boom!

A deafening explosion erupted far below.

The whole square shook violently. One flagstone after another buckled, cracked, and overturned to expose the churning water underneath.

A wave several dozen feet high burst through the fissures at the plaza's center. It carried the cold and roar of the deep sea, like a sea beast that had slumbered for 1,000 years finally breaking free of its shackles.

The surge climbed hundreds of feet and then more than 1,000, becoming a vast wall across the plaza that blocked the elders' sight and every path of attack.

Golden light blades cut into the curtain, but the water was too deep and violent. Every opening filled instantly with another torrent.

Golden radiance refracted and scattered within the deluge until it lost its strength and broke apart.

"Hurry!"

Neris's voice had already turned hoarse. His face was pale, and his spiritual energy drained rapidly enough to be seen, but his hands never stopped forming seals and the waves continued to rise.

Riven attacked at the same time.

He drove both palms downward. Under his guidance, the surging water became several blue chains that wound precisely around the three elders' ankles.

They tightened and fixed the elders in place. The chains could hold for only five seconds, but those five seconds offered a path to survival.

"Get him out of here!"

Riven shouted toward Jared. Desperate urgency filled his voice, as though he were burning through his very life and spending everything he had.

Jared moved without hesitation.

He flashed to Kael's side, seized his arm, and hauled him from the ground.

Kael was shockingly light. After the chains had devoured so much of his spiritual energy, he felt like seaweed drained of every trace of moisture, withered and weak.

Jared tucked him beneath one arm and raced toward the shadow of the spirit tree.

Chaotic force erupted beneath his feet and propelled him like an arrow from a bow.

Kael rasped in broken phrases, "Take the sea route. Once we're off the island, the Void Sea is right there. If we can enter the water..."

Before he could finish, a huge pillar of golden light surged skyward from the platform.

As thick as a tree trunk that would take both arms to encircle, it burst in the night sky and became a storm of golden motes.
