Yet, in the blink of an eye, they had all scattered, leaving nothing behind-not even a trace of their former menace. Worse still, some had been so terrified they had wet themselves.
What just happened? Those beasts were enormous compared to that tiny fire unicorn, but they fled like cowards!
“Mr. Chance, you’re amazing. Was that the pet you recently tamed?” Faiyar asked with admiration.
“You can say so. It’s just a celestial beast, nothing really to brag about!” Jared said nonchalantly.
A celestial beast?
This single statement struck everyone present like a bolt from the blue.
That’s a celestial beast, and he’s making it sound like it’s no big deal!
Cassius’s eyes widened in realization. Finally, he understood why those demon beasts turned and fled in fear. No matter how small the fire unicorn was, it was still a celestial beast, not something the demon beasts could contend with.
It was as if a young immortal had descended from the celestial realm. Even though he was young in age, he was not someone experienced cultivators from the Ethereal Realm could contend with.
Some people are born successful, while others spend their entire lives striving to find their way to success. Such is the disparity between the fire unicorn and the other demon beasts.
The fire unicorn was endowed with celestial abilities, making the confrontation a complete mismatch. No matter how many years the beasts of the Ethereal Realm had dedicated to honing their skills, they could never hope to rival a celestial creature. The disparity in their power was insurmountable, leaving the demon beasts no chance of standing against such an extraordinary being.
“You possess a celestial beast and also carry the token of Allardland. Even though I’m unaware of your identity, it’s clear that you’re no ordinary individual. Let’s put an end to today’s events. I’ll be leaving immediately with my people, and I hope you can show us some mercy!” Cassius admitted defeat.
Since they couldn’t annihilate Soul Demon Sect and exact their revenge this time, he resolved to bide his time for the next opportunity when Jared would be absent. He understood that if they refused to give up, they risked meeting their demise right here.
“You think you can leave just like that after you launched an attack? Just what do you take Soul Demon Sect for? I’m irritated with you, and I need to vent my frustration,” Jared said coldly.
“My friend, don’t burn your bridges.” Cassius narrowed his eyes, revealing a ferocious expression.
“Burn my a*s. There’s no way I’d let you live after what you did today.” Jared spat.
“Do you intend to kill me?” Cassius’ aura erupted as he got ready to attack at any moment.
“Not just you. Everyone you brought with you must die.” Jared spoke with a chilling tone. From the moment he summoned the fire unicorn, the fate of Cassius and his men was sealed. They were destined to die.
Jared could never let outsiders know about the celestial beast he possessed. Otherwise, he would become everyone’s target in the Ethereal Realm.
“Trystan, do you really have to kill me today?” Cassius cast his gaze toward Trystan, knowing that he would be allowed to leave as long as Trystan spared him.
After all, this matter was between him and Trystan. It didn’t really have much to do with Jared.
“Cassius, you’re wicked and have committed countless sins. Today, you even sought to annihilate my entire sect and dared to lay your hands on my daughter. I must kill you.” Trystan would not spare Cassius out of consideration for their past relationship.
“You call me wicked, but aren’t we both guilty of pursuing our own interests?” Cassius replied, his voice steady. “To be honest, it was Gustave and Rainier who advised me to come here today. I’m obligated to share a portion of the resources I acquire from you.”
Trystan flinched slightly, his expression contorting with disbelief. “You’re talking nonsense! Gustave and Rainier would never suggest such a thing. They’ve been in seclusion for years, completely detached from the outside world.”
“Hahaha! Of the four of us, you’re the only one still clinging to those ridiculous rules!” Cassius sneered. “And that’s exactly why you’re so weak.”
