A loud rumbling noise could be heard as countless auras approached slowly from at distance. The next thing they knew, an army of demon beasts came stampeding toward them. They were moving with such ferocity that the sky was covered with clouds of dust that they stirred up. “What the…”
Chester and Wayne were frozen in shock and disbelief when they saw the seemingly endless waves of demon beasts coming their way. Kayden’s eyes were filled with fear when he saw that as well.
The demon beasts came to a halt behind Jared, each of them emanating a terrifying aura as they awaited his orders. Even Chester and Wayne, who had high cultivation levels, found themselves suffocating a little from the overwhelming aura..
“These are my underlings. They are the ones that will destroy the arcane array for me!” Jared said with a faint smile. Although Kayden was a little terrified by the demon beasts, he refused to back down as Zahrin Sect was protected by a powerful arcane array. “Hmph! Dream on, Jared! Even Chester and the others weren’t able to break our arcane array, so you and your demon beasts can’t possibly do so!”
“Oh, we’ll find out about that in a minute,” Jared replied with a confident grin before waving at the demon beasts behind him. “Attack!”
Countless demon beasts roared as they made. their way around Jared’s group and charged at Zahrin Sect. Kayden was starting to panic when he saw that. “S-Strengthen the arcane array! Also, wake my father up! Hurry!” he shouted anxiously at one of his men.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Macall. Our arcane array is very tough. These demon beasts may have the superiority in numbers, but they are not powerful enough to break through our arcane array, one of Zahrin Sect’s elders reassured him.
“Y-Yeah, you’re right. There’s no way they can. get past this! I must be overthinking things, that’s all!” Kayden said and tried to calm himself down. Meanwhile, beams of light appeared around Zahrin Sect as the demon beasts rammed into the arcane array.
Most of the demon beasts were sent flying upon contact with the light and died on the spot. Having received Jared’s command, however, the demon beasts showed no signs of fear and continued charging at Zahrin Sect anyway. Jared’s expression grew solemn when he saw that the demon beasts were unable to break through the arcane array.
“Hahaha! What did I tell you, huh? There’s no way you and your so-called ‘underlings’ could ever get past this arcane array! Just look at them! How many of them have already died trying?”
Jared’s eyes were filled with rage when he saw the smug grin on Kayden’s face. “Master, I’ll break the arcane array and kill that b*stard!” Feenix said when she sensed Jared’s anger. Kayden couldn’t even beat Blazing Tiger, so he wouldn’t stand a chance against Feenix. It would be a piece of cake for her to kill him.
“No, that won’t be necessary. I said my underlings will break through this puny arcane array, so they will,” Jared replied and waved his hand. Dozens of giant eagles then flew toward the towers and began attacking them. If they so much as destroy a single tower, this arcane array will start to crack, and they will be able to create an opening in it!
Kayden began to panic when he saw that Jared’s giant eagles were aiming for the purple crystal on the tower. Fearing that the tower would fall, Kayden. shouted at the top of his voice, “P-Protect the. tower! Hurry!”
Zahrin Sect’s disciples quickly gathered at the top of the tower and fired countless arrows at the giant eagles. The giant eagles retaliated by firing waves of aura at them, but the arcane array shielded the disciples from the aura attacks.
