Nieva once again brought Jared to the space where the holy maidens were training.


    As soon as they entered, they could hear a series of shouts emanating from within, apanied by


    the sound of explosions echoing through the void.


    This was a scene where the holy maidens were sparring against each other.

    Only in this way could these holy maiden achieve the greatest level of teamwork.


    The journey to the pr region was tomence tomorrow. As for how many of these holy maidens


    would survive and return, it was anyone’s guess.


    “Everyone, stop!” Nieva ordered.


    Immediately after, over a dozen holy maidens emerged from various ces.


    Bianca stepped forward and addressed Nieva, “Ms. Nieva, myrades and I have been training


    rigorously. On this uing journey to the pr region, we will not fail our mission. We will surely find


    the resources Lunarius Pce needs.”


    “You’ve all worked hard, and we’re setting off tomorrow. Practicing strenuously today won’t make much


    of a difference. It might be better to get some rest instead. Today, you all are free to leave this ce


    and get some air outside,” Nieva dered.


    Upon hearing this, the holy maidens were extremely delighted. After all, they had been staying there for


    several months without ever leaving.


    “Thank you, Ms. Nieva!” the holy maidens uttered in unison.


    “Mr. Chance came by today. He also brought gifts for you all.”


    After Nieva finished speaking, she nced at Jared.


    All the holy maidens turned their attention to him too. However, their expressions were far from


    pleased. Instead, their disdain toward him had intensified.


    They had assumed that Jared was giving gifts in an attempt to bribe them, hoping they wouldply


    with his wishes throughout the journey.


    Jared paid no mind to the gazes of these holy maidens. Instead, he took out the ck tortoiseshell he


    had crafted.


    a faint glow radiated from the ck tortoiseshell, with its array runes appearing and disappearing


    intermittently!


    “A ck tortoiseshell?”


    Bianca was instantly taken aback.


    It wasmon knowledge that the ck tortoiseshell was incredibly sturdy, capable of being used as a


    shield.


    One that had array runes engraved on it was even more hardy.


    “That’s right. I purchased these ck tortoiseshells from Southedge City and spent the entire night


    engraving array runes on them. Each of you should carry one. At crucial moments, these ck


    tortoiseshells might very well save your life. They can withstand a strike from at least an Eighth Level


    Tribtor without any issues.”


    After Jared finished speaking, he casually tossed out a dozen or so ck tortoiseshells, whichnded


    urately in the hands of the holy maidens.


    Upon hearing that the array runes on the ck tortoiseshell were engraved by Jared himself, the holy


    maidens were filled with a mix of disbelief and confusion.


    One should know that an array master was quite a rarity in Ethereal Realm, especially one who could


    engrave array runes on tortoiseshells.


    However, Jared’s appearance didn’t evene close to a senior array master at all.


    Jared noticed the confusion on the faces of the holy maidens, and with a light smile, he asked, “Do you


    have doubts about how strong the ck tortoiseshells are?”


    The holy maidens didn’tment, but they were indeed worried. After all, the array runes were


    engraved by Jared. If they were not high- level enough, the ck tortoiseshell wouldn’t be able to


    withstand a single strike from an Eighth Level Tribtor.


    Jared nced at Nieva, who responded with a slight nod. She understood what Jared’s intention was.


    Subsequently, Jared tossed the ck tortoiseshell in his hand into mid-air, while Nieva gave her sleeve


    a flick.


    A chilling sh filled the space in an instant.


    With just a casual wave of her hand, the power she exuded was that of a Ninth Level Tribtor.


    The blistering light struck the ck tortoiseshell decisively.


    The tortoiseshell began to shimmer with a dazzling light, the array runes on it activating. In that instant,


    it expanded dramatically!


    Boom!


    The blistering light abruptly vanished, and the array runes on the ck tortoiseshell began to fracture


    slowly. Following that, the ck tortoiseshell fell to the ground.


    Crack began to spread across the its surface before it fell apart entirely. The holy maidens couldn’t help


    but be astounded by the scene that unfolded before their eyes.


    The ck tortoiseshell,bined with the array runes, can actually withstand a blow from a Ninth


    Level Tribtor!
