“Jared, what about you?” Astrid asked Jared.
“I''ll be fine. These rocks can''t hurt me. You all should hurry up and go,” he urged.
“Mr. Chance, take care.” With that, Fernando pulled Astrid along and ran outside.
At that instant, many people also registered what was happening. Seeing the copsing ancient ruins,
they also started sprinting outward.
However, not many people could escape as the passageway was very narrow.
Fortunately, because of Jared''s reminder, Fernando and Godrick managed to get away.
Rumble!
A violent tremor erupted, followed by the fall of massive boulders.
Everyone stopped fighting and ran for their lives. xseed and Verner returned to Jared''s side.
“Mr. Chance.”
Verner was puzzled to see Jared not making his way out of the ancient ruins.
“Mr. xseed, whether we''ll be crushed to death by the rocks or not depends on you now,” Jared
chirped at xseed.
“Consider this simple task done!”
xseed took out a few pieces of charm and casually drew a few strokes on them.
Then, he hurled the papers upward, and a few charms began to rotate above their heads, effectively
blocking the falling boulders atop them.
Upon seeing that, Verner turned to look at xseed with eyes filled with shock and envy.
Meanwhile, Skr and the four ck Gold Robe warriors gathered around Malphas.
Malphas emitted a series of auras, enveloping all of them.
Even if the mountain copsed, neither they nor the altar would be harmed.
Boom!
The mountain truly began falling apart, sending clouds of dust to linger in the air as giant rocks fell
incessantly.
Many people who failed to escape were crushed to death by the falling stones, while others wailed in
agony.
Regrettably, no one could help anyone else at a time like that.
The copsested for more than ten minutes.
In the end, the entire small hill caved in. The people who had sessfully gotten out stared at the
wreckage with dazed expressions and were at a loss for what to do.
Although Jose and the others made it out alive, many were still trapped inside. As a result, they lost
about half of their forces.
“Jared! Jared!” Astrid called out desperately at the rubble.
“Don''t worry. Jared will be all right,” Evangeline held Astrid and said.
“How do you know that, Evangeline?”
“He wouldn''t be Jared if he was so easily crushed to death. Besides, I can sense his aura. If he''s dead,
how could his aura still be present?” Evangeline borated.
Hearing that, Astrid calmed down a little.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the hill that had quietened down started shaking again. The next second, pieces of rocks
scattered everywhere.
Soon, Jared and the others reappeared. Skr and his party also cleared away the boulders
surrounding them, exposing the altar.
Many people were astounded to see Jared and his group unharmed.
Still, Jared was aware that even though they had withstood the damage caused by the copse, they
had expended a great deal of spiritual energy.
The same was true for their opponents, including Malphas and the four ck Gold Robe warriors.
Resisting the crumbling of a mountain wouldn''t have been easy for them either.
“Jose, this is the perfect opportunity to attack. What are you waiting for? Do you want to wait for them
to recover their strength?” Jared shouted at the bewildered Jose.
Only then did Jose regain his senses. He nced at us, who also grasped Jared''s intention. They
nodded and charged toward Skr and his party once more.
Skr and the four ck Gold Robe warriors immediately engaged us and the others in a battle. It
was evident that the four ck Gold Robe warriors'' auras had significantly weakened, seemingly
because holding out against a copsing mountain had also drained too much of their stamina.
Even so, Malphas still didn''t move an inch, staying in front of the altar and guarding it, not allowing
Jared a chance to act.

Fathoming Jared''s intent, xseed uttered, “Jared, I''ll distract that old demon to provide you with an
opening to strike that altar.”
Without waiting for Jared''s response, xseed leaped forward and dashed toward Malphas.
