Chapter 321


    A spiritual wave attack was a mysterious attack.


    The stress that ordinary people felt in their daily lives was a form of mental attack, too. An example


    would be the pressure ordinary people would feel upon interacting with their superiors.


    However, the pressure from superiors was not something that could be clearly defined. It wasn''t


    concrete. The superiors themselves would neither feel norprehend it. In fact, if the superiors were


    fearful of their wives, then their power to pressure others would be non-existent in the face of their


    wives.


    However, upon reaching Level One in Divine Master, a spiritual wave attack would turn physical.


    It was something that had been manifested into the physical ne like spirit, vitality, and strength. It


    was something maniptable.


    Between Level One and Level Three in Divine Master, the mana formed by spiritual waves would be


    weak. It could only be used to attack weaker cultivators, and it had a limit on how far the attack could


    beunched. For example, Yareth and Sylvia''s battle was a fight between spiritual energy.


    Once a person reached Level Five in Divine Master, they would be able to use their mana to control


    magic weapons and kill their enemies from a thousand meters away.


    When they reached Level Eight in Divine Master, they would be able to use their spiritual mana to kill


    others remotely.


    Therefore, Mabel''s current mana sword was definitely something that could be used to harm the Great


    Sun Lama.


    A shudder wracked the Great Sun Lama''s body, and he quickly made a mana shield in his mind. It was


    an instinctive move to defend himself.


    At the same time, the cacodemon let out a loud roar before breaking out of the Great Sun Lama''s


    purgatory.


    The cacodemon then opened its eyes before roaring again and stomping its foot.


    Following one loud noise, the cacodemon finally destroyed the Divine Whip.


    It shattered into pieces and flew in different directions. However, the cacodemon swiftly shot out its


    ws to grab the remnants of the Divine Whip. Then, it shoved the broken whip into its mouth and


    began chewing it.


    After munching on it for a while, itpletely devoured the Divine Whip.


    The cacodemon''s power became even more refined after that.


    That was the amazing ability that cacodemons possessed. They could devour anything including


    magical weapons and devil infants and convert them into the nutrition their bodies needed.


    Colors drained out of the Great Sun Lama''s face. He had lost his Divine Whip, and it was difficult for


    him to control the cacodemon from then on.


    Without hesitance, the cacodemon darted forward to swipe its w at the Great Sun Lama. The Great


    Sun Lama swiftly avoided it.


    The cacodemon was mighty, and as a result, the surrounding nts were torn down by its attack. Even


    though the Great Sun Lama managed to avoid the attack, the cacodemon proceeded to grab two trees


    and swung them around him.


    Nothing within ten meters of the cacodemon could avoid being hit by the trees.


    Despite the Great Sun Lama''s impressive agility, he had a hard time dodging that.


    Dirt and dust filled the air as strong gusts of wind blew.


    The Divine Master and Immortal Stage cultivators who had lost their magical weapons were evidently


    finding the situation challenging to deal with. There was no way they could defend themselves against


    a being like the cacodemon, which had an invincible physical body.


    Just as the Great Sun Lama was on the verge of defeat, Ryan and Richie''s gazesnded on Jonathan.


    Ryan then said to Ephraim, “Reverend Nightingale, these two people seem close to the cacodemon.


    We can use them as hostages! Perhaps that will work as a threat to the cacodemon!”


    Ephraim froze for a second, hesitating. Then, a cold glint shed past his eyes, and he said, “All right.


    We''ll do that. What do we have to lose?” With that said, he beganunching spiritual wave attacks at


    Jonathan.


    Upon hearing those people speak, Jonathan sensed impending disaster.


    Before Ephraim could even finish speaking, Jonathan turned tail and fled.


    He knew well that the cacodemon would be able to revitalize itself once it killed the Great Sun Lama.


    By then, Ephraim and the others would be no match for it.


    Jonathan couldn''t even care less about Mabel at that point. After all, Mabel was not just a nobody, and


    he was certain that they would not dare to kill her.


    Jonathan ran as quickly as he could, dodging everything in his way, but soon, he sensed a pang of


    agonizing pain in his mind.


    In the next second, his mind went nk, and he passed out.


    As it turned out, while Jonathan was quick, he was not as quick as Ephraim''s spiritual wave attack.

    No matter how hard Jonathan tried to avoid it, the spiritual wave attack still struck his mind urately


    and precisely.


    Jonathan was only in Celestial Soul, and his mind was fragile. That attack was not something he could


    withstand, so he went unconscious immediately.


    Nevertheless, Ephraim had not dealt a fatal strike. If he had, he would have rendered Jonathan brain-


    dead.


    Ephraim still needed Jonathan to threaten the cacodemon, so he would never kill Jonathan.


    If Jonathan died, they would all be doomed as well.


    That was something Ephraim knew well.


    Both Ryan and Richie took Jonathan and Mabel hostage and ced guns against their temples.


    As Mabel''s mind had been injured, she, too, was unable to move and was subjected to her enemy''s


    mercy.


    Once Ephraim saw that Jonathan and Mabel had been restrained, he quickly shouted at the


    cacodemon in Chanaean, “You monster! If you don''t stop now, we''ll shoot these two!”


    The mad cacodemon shuddered and promptly paused in its tracks when it heard Ephraim''s words.


    Then, it saw the current state Jonathan and Mabel was in.


    A murderous look crossed its eyes, and it prepared tounch another attack.


    Ephraim, Ryan, and Richie were frightened, and Ephraim hastily bellowed, “Stop! If you take another


    step closer to us, we''ll kill them immediately!”


    The cacodemon halted and screeched, “Let go of my daddy! Get lost right away, or else I''ll kill you all!”


    Ephraim and the rest could sense the intense demonic energy and furying from the cacodemon.


    The cacodemon was indeed living up to its name as a demon.


    “No!” Ephraim shouted. “We can let them go, but you have to return to your original form first.


    Otherwise, you''ll be attending their funerals!”


    The cacodemon fell silent. As it stared at Ephraim, it asked, “Will you let my daddy and Aunt Mabel go


    if I return to my original form?”


    Ephraim replied, “That''s right.”


    At that, the cacodemon said, “Okay. I believe you.” With that, it suddenly inhaled sharply.


    Then, the cacodemon''s body began undergoing changes.


    It turned from a gigantic monstrous being into a child who looked around eight years of age.


    However, the cacodemon child''s body was covered with terrifying white scales.


    Its eyes were blue and bright, making it look as if it was a foreign boy who had contracted a strange


    illness.


    At that moment, the cacodemon was no longer as ferocious and frightening as it was in its monstrous


    form.


    “Let my daddy and Aunt Mabel go!” the cacodemon shouted.


    “All right,” Ephraim answered.


    Right as he said that, he was donemunicating with the Great Sun Lama.


    The Great Sun Lama was the one who instructed Ephraim to convince the cacodemon to return to its


    original form. Ephraim was a Divine Master cultivator, and the Great Sun Lama was an Immortal Stage


    cultivator. Hence, the two of them could hold a mental conversation to share their ideas.


    Right then, the Great Sun Lama made a move.


    Stretching out his hand, a ray of light darted out from his sleeve.


    The ray of light impaled the cacodemon''s back and buried itself into its heart.


    The cacodemon''s eyes widened, and it screeched in agony as its knees buckled.


    Then, it curled itself up on the ground.


    Mabel''s eyes widened in shock. Her heart ached as she watched the cacodemon suffer, and she was


    enraged. “How can prominent figures like you be such despicable people?”


    Ryan scoffed and said, “Chief Sandler, how are you shameless enough to ask us that? We should be


    the ones asking what motives you and this young man have. The cacodemon is the demon of Thymion,


    and it will bring endless disasters if it manifests in this world. Yet, you''re protecting it. Are you trying to


    create conflict between our two countries?”


    Mabel was rendered speechless.


    Thus, she ignored Ryan and turned to the Great Sun Lama. “What have you done to the cacodemon?”


    The Great Sun Lama then mumbled a mantra under his breath, “Let the sun ignite and grant me the


    light.”


    Once the Great Sun Lama said that, he turned to Mabel to say, “This is the Nailhead Script that my


    senior has given to me. It''s also known as the Death Nail. The Death Nail guarantees the death of a


    person''s life as long as it enters the person''s heart.”


    The Great Sun Lama had wanted to perform the Death Nail attack on the cacodemon previously, but


    could not find the chance to do it. He had to trick the cacodemon into returning to its original form


    beforeunching a sneak attack on it while it had its guard down.


    Mabel''s heart sank when she heard the Great Sun Lama''s exnation. “What are you going to do to


    the cacodemon?”


    The cacodemon was still screaming in pain on the ground as they spoke.


    The Death Nail was no ordinary item. There was poison, as well as powerful mana contained within it.


    If it wasn''t that powerful, there was no way the Death Nail would be able to subdue the cacodemon.


    The Death Nail was supposed to render a person dead, but the cacodemon was powerful enough to


    remain alive despite having the Death Nail lodged in its heart.


    Now, the cacodemon was covered in sweat as all colors drained from its face. It was suffering


    indescribable torture with every passing second.


    Mabel''s heart was breaking.


    Although she was trying to recover from her injuries earlier, she was still conscious of her surroundings


    and was well aware that the cacodemon would have been unstoppable if it wasn''t concerned about her


    and Jonathan. No one present could have been able to harm it.


    With a solemn look, the Great Sun Lama said, “The cacodemon is a being that brings harm. If we let it


    stay alive, it''ll bring disaster to our country. Therefore, it must die.”


    He then turned to the Roper brothers and said, “The cacodemon has lost its ability to defend itself.


    Decapitate it.”


    “Of course, Lama,” the Roper brothers answered without a hint of hesitance.


    The two of them then walked over to the cacodemon, which was still curled up and defenseless.


    Dread was twisting in Mabel''s guts. When her eyes flicked to the side to look at Jonathan, she realized


    he was still unconscious. Relying on Jonathan was not an option.


    Is this really the cacodemon''s fate? If that''s the case, why did the cacodemon survive? Why must it die


    soon after it''s been brought to this world? What even is the purpose of its life? Does it only exist to help


    Jonathan out so that Jonathan could save me?


    Mabel turned back to Jonathan and whispered under her breath, “Jonathan, wake up soon and think of


    a way around this. You''ll be gued by guilt for the rest of your life if you find out that the cacodemon


    died to save you.”
