A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4038

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.

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’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!”
