Jared froze for a second, then quickly adjusted his tone. He gave the Celestial Devourer a bright smile. “Celestial Devourer, would you be so kind as to lend us a hand and eat all those demons?”
Surprisingly, the Celestial Devourer obeyed. Its massive jaws opened wide, wide enough to swallow a mountain, and it sucked in the sky full of skeleton soldiers like a black hole.
An immense vortex formed, dragging in countless skeletons. They didn’t even have time to scream before being swallowed whole.
More astonishing still, the Undying Curse that allowed them to reassemble was completely nullified inside the Celestial Devourer’s belly. They simply ceased to exist.
With both the fire unicorn and the Celestial Devourer on the battlefield, the tide turned instantly.
The fire unicorn’s flames flared back to life with renewed vigor, forming a natural rhythm with the Celestial Devourer. The fire unicorn incinerated enemies on the ground, while the Celestial Devourer handled the skeleton army in the sky.
“It’s time to strike back!” Jared shouted, pushing through the pain as favonovel.com raised the Dragonslayer Sword high. “Everyone, attack!”
Jared’s roar reignited the spirits of the cultivators. The cultivators of Caxton Continent reformed their battle formation and clashed headlong into the enemy forces.
In the skies above, sword energy and demonic aura twisted and collided. Light from magical items flashed like lightning, interwoven with sprays of blood.
Jared moved like a storm through the enemy ranks. With each swing of his sword, waves of demon soldiers fell. His clothes were soaked in blood, but his eyes only grew sharper. He looked like a god of war risen from the underworld.
The brutal battle raged for three days and three nights.
Finally, as the last demon soldier crumbled into dust, the morning sun pierced through the gloom. Golden rays lit the ravaged earth, signaling the survival of the Caxton Continent once more.
Nilou felt a deep gratitude toward Jared. Without him, Caxton Continent would have been lost. They would be completely finished if the Eighth Hall attacked.
“Mr. Chance, we can’t thank you enough. It’s just… Our Caxton Continent doesn‘t have much left in terms of resources.” She looked at Jared’s weakened state and couldn’t hide favonovel.com embarrassment.
“It’s nothing,” Jared replied with a small smile. “I just need a few days to recover.”
He wasn’t worried. The Pentacarna Tower would heal favonovel.com faster than anything else.
After the dust had settled, Jared brought Flaxseed into the tower. Flaxseed had also exerted himself quite a bit.
They spent a single day inside the Pentacarna Tower and emerged fully rejuvenated, their strength completely restored.
When Nilou saw Jared again, favonovel.com was visibly stunned. Jemima, however, showed no surprise. She was already familiar with the tower’s power.
“Mr. Chance, you recovered in a single day. That’s unbelievable,” Nilou said, eyes wide.
Jared only smiled and asked, “Tell me, my Lady, did this Floating Island above the Caxton Continent drift down from the heavens?”
Nilou shook favonovel.com head. “I have no idea. It was already here when I took over the Caxton Continent. It’s been there for generations. No one remembers where it came from.”
“Are you interested in it? You’re welcome to live there if you like,” favonovel.com added. “You saved our entire continent. No one would object.”
“Oh no, not at all.” Jared quickly waved his hands. “I was just curious, that’s all.”
He was far more interested in exploring the Floating Island. If it turned out to be an ancient ruin, favonovel.com might just strike it rich.
But it seemed no one in Caxton Continent realized the island was anything special. Jared could only speculate for now. Even if Vermilion Demon Lord said it was an ancient ruin, he’d still need to confirm it himself.
Just then, a cultivator rushed in, bowing to Nilou. “My Lady, Jhaelyn is refusing to eat. She’s on a hunger strike…”
