Kayden got increasingly smug when he saw that the demon beasts were unable to break through the arcane array at all. Zahrin Sect’s disciples, too, taunted the demon beasts as they continued to shoot them down.
Feenix’s forehead creased with frustration when she saw the demon beasts getting mowed down. Had it not been for Jared’s orders, she would have destroyed the arcane array long ago.
“Look at your so-called underlings, Jared! They’re nothing but target practice for Zahrin Sect’s disciples!” Kayden taunted Jared. As long as the arcane array held strong, he had no reason to fear Jared in the slightest. Jared simply shot Kayden a cold glare in response and activated the draconic essence within his body.
The draconic essence emitted waves of light as a golden dragon slowly appeared above Jared’s head. The golden dragon then let out a majestic roar and soared into the sky. Kayden and the disciples of Zahrin Sect tensed up when they saw the golden dragon.
Gone were the gleeful grins on their faces as they broke out in a cold sweat. Jared then gave the golden dragon a command with his mind, sending it straight toward the tower.
Meanwhile, the demon beasts continued their relentless assault. The disciples of Zahrin Sect, too, let out a fierce battle cry and used every weapon in their arsenal to fight the demon beasts off.
The disciples on top of the tower fired a volley of arrows at the incoming golden dragon. However, the arrows all went right through the golden dragon’s body, doing no damage whatsoever. The golden dragon then opened its mouth and fired a powerful beam of aura at the tower.
Boom! A deafening noise tore through the area when the golden dragon’s aura beam hit the arcane array. Unlike the demon beasts, the golden dragon did not let up on its attack.
On the heels of withstanding the golden. dragon’s aura beam for a few seconds, the arcane array emitted a loud cracking noise, and the tower began to shake violently. Eventually, the white light from the arcane array disappeared, and the tower collapsed.
Just like that, the golden dragon had created an opening in Zahrin Sect’s arcane array. The demon beasts then changed their course and charged at the opening.
“S-Stop them, you guys!” Kayden screamed in. panic. The disciples of Zahrin Sect quickly ran toward the opening and attacked the demon beasts, but it was to no avail.
As though the demon beasts had gone berserk, they ignored the disciples’ attacks and charged straight at them. Many of the disciples were sent flying before being killed in the stampede.
The giant eagles got their revenge by shooting flames at the disciples, instantly burning them to a crisp. As all of the demon beasts focused their attack on the opening, the arcane array was starting to fall apart.
“Where’s my father? Did you guys not wake him up?” Kayden shouted, but Zahrin Sect was in too much chaos for anyone to hear his question. He jumped up a tower and stared at the opening with a frown.
He ordered the disciples to head toward the opening and seal it as quickly as possible. As the opening on the arcane array got bigger and bigger, more demon beasts continued to pour in through the crack.
The dead bodies of both demon beasts and Zahrin Sect’s disciples were scattered all over the area around the opening. It didn’t take long for Zahrin Sect’s disciples to start losing morale, but the demon beasts. pressed on fearlessly and relentlessly.
“Run for it! This thing won’t hold much longer!” one of the disciples shouted, prompting the others to turn around and run for their lives.
