Chapter 6471

Jared seized that brief opening. His form flashed, his speed climbing again as he shot toward the exit at the far end of the chamber.

The soul-beasts saw it and gave chase with crazed intensity. The ones at the top of Level Seven moved with terrifying speed, clinging close behind him and launching attack after attack, trying to tangle him up before he could break free.

Jared fled ahead of them with everything he had. Behind him, the soul-beasts refused to fall back. Black spirit assaults kept crashing into the golden radiance, and every impact sent pain tearing through his soul until it was almost more than it could bear.

His speed began to drop. The golden radiance dimmed further and further. Just as the soul-beasts were about to overtake him, Jared finally saw the exit at the end of the chamber.

A faint white glow waited there. In that endless dark, it was the only thing that looked like a way out, guiding him forward.

A hard, final glint crossed Jared’s eyes. He burned the last thread of his spiritual power, turned into the violet streak at its absolute limit, tore through the soul-beasts closing in behind him, and plunged headfirst into the exit.
