A Warrior Undefeatable

Jared quickly cupped his fists in respect, his tone respectful. "Your name is known far and wide, Mr. Aldwych. How could I not recognize someone so well-regarded? I'm just new here, so it took me a second to place the name."

As the saying goes, a smart man knows when to back off. When you're unsure how strong your opponent truly is, it's best to lie low and strengthen yourself quietly.

From what Jared just witnessed, Aziel's strength was clearly beyond the ordinary, with the power to fight above his level. Jared knew he had to tread carefully.

Aziel nodded with satisfaction, then turned his attention to Jemina. His smile was faintly unsettling. "Jemina, you came back from level one and didn't even let me know. How'd you end up in a place like this?"

Jemina was still reeling from Aziel's earlier display. This guy was completely unpredictable—he'd kill someone just for being mildly displeased.

She bit her lip and mumbled, "I... I came from level one."

"Level one?" Aziel chuckled. "Jemina, you sure like to tease. How could there be an entrance to these ruins on level one?"

"We..." Jemina tried to explain, wanting to insist they had come from there, but Jared cut in.

"Mr. Aldwych, we were just curious. We wanted to look around and maybe find some magical items. That's all."

Jared didn't want anyone to realize there was another entrance to the ancient ruins from level one. If that got out, the Caxton Continent would be at risk. Sooner or later, swarms of cultivators from level two would pour into level one territory like that.

"And who are you? How did you end up with Jemina?" Aziel's gaze darkened as he turned back to Jared.

"I..." Jared hesitated, caught off guard by the direct question about his relationship with Jemina.

"Aziel, who's the woman at your side?" Jemina quickly interrupted, steering the conversation in a different direction. She was afraid Aziel might bring trouble to Jared.

"Oh, just a servant I brought with me. If you don't like her, I'll have her removed." Aziel smiled, then lightly reached out toward the woman at his feet.

With just a casual flick, the woman dropped dead on the spot, her skull shattered in an instant.

The shock made Jemina's body flinch slightly, her face going pale.

Jared's expression tightened. He hadn't expected Aziel to be so casually brutal. Facing a powerful enemy was one thing, but dealing with a lunatic was a whole different problem.

At that moment, Verdin was scared out of his mind, his face drenched in cold sweat.

"Who exactly are you to Jemina?" Even after killing the woman beside him, Aziel wasn't done questioning Jared.

"He's just a servant of mine," Jemina said quickly. "He's from humble origins and a low-level cultivator, so I brought him along to help carry some things."

Aziel gave Jared a quick look, then let out a light chuckle. "Wandering Immortal Realm Level One, and you still managed to make it to level two? Not bad, kid. Got any background?" noveldrama

Jared quickly shook his head. "I come from a poor family. I was living on level one when out of nowhere, a black hole swallowed me up, and I landed here on level two. Compared to you, Mr. Aldwych, I'm just a servant."

Hearing that, Aziel seemed pleased. He nodded slightly. "That adds up. Space-time between the first and second levels distorts all the time. Black holes pop up now and then. You're lucky my kind-hearted Jemina took you in. Otherwise, you'd already be a corpse."

"A Wandering Immortal Realm Level One cultivator trying to survive on level two...

that's just wishful thinking,” he added with a smirk.

Verdin, standing off to the side, stayed quiet. He didn't know Jared's true

background, but one thing was clear-Jared was far from weak.

He had seen the devastating power of Jared's sword swing firsthand.

And that was while Jared was still just at Wandering Immortal Realm Level One. If

he made it to level three, his strength could very well surpass even Aziel's.
