Scamus was horrified. “What… What nonsense are you talking about? How could I carry out such a dangerous mission?!”
Toby wiped the sweat from his face and gave him a mocking smile. “Haven’t you been telling everyone that you have already reached the Ascension Realm? Yet you don’t even have the courage to step outside the barrier. Is this how a legendary five-star general acts?”
Seamus’s face burned with embarrassment. He stammered, unable to come up with a response.
Boom!
Another deafening blast struck the barrier. Toby trembled violently before dropping to one knee. /
The civilians nearby immediately screamed in fright. They huddled together, their eyes filled with terror
Seamus completely lost his composure as well. Even with Toby and the others’ strength, they could not withstand explosions of this power for much longer.
Once the barrier collapsed, everyone inside would become easy targets for the demonic beasts. Even with Gordon and the others protecting him, Seamus knew he would not survive.
Faced with the threat of death, his mind suddenly became remarkably clear. He remembered what Abdiel had told him behind the school that day.
“You’re the leader of the student soldiers, you have the final say. Whenever a dangerous mission comes up, send Skyler to handle it. He’s only a weakling in the Archmaster Realm. There’s no way he can survive every beast tide.”
Seamus immediately pointed at Skyler and shouted, “Send him! Didn’t Skyler say on the bus that he wasn’t afraid of taking on an Ascension Realm expert? If that’s true, he must be capable of carrying out the mission to eliminate their leader!”
Quinn flew into a rage.
She pointed at Seamus and was about to curse him out, but Skyler stepped in front of her.
“It’s fine, Quinn. This isn’t the time to argue. The barrier class won’t be able to hold on much longer. I’ll take the mission.”
The students immediately looked at Skyler with newfound respect.
Despite being only in the Archmaster Realm, he had accepted such a dangerous mission without hesitation. Seamus, on the other hand, was supposed to be the commander of this operation, yet he had contributed nothing from beginning to end.
The difference between them could not have been clearer.
Rumors had been circulating that Skyler was the real legendary five-star general. None of them had believed it before.

Now, all of them were beginning to believe it.

Quinn shot Seamus a scornful glare before turning to Skyler. “Alright, I’ll go with you! I’m at the second stage of the Ascension Realm. With my help, we’ll have a better chance of killing that sixth-tier demonic beast that has developed spiritual intelligence.”
Skyler stopped her. “No, Quinn. The beast tide hasn’t retreated yet. It could attack again at any moment. If you come with me, are you planning to leave Seamus in charge of the battle?”
Quinn fell silent. Seamus’s performance throughout the journey had been nothing short of disastrous. They would be better off putting a pig in command.
“But…”
“No buts!” Skyler declared, adjusting his clothes confidently. “Hold this position and protect the civilians. I’ll be back soon!”
With that, Skyler charged through the barrier and vanished from everyone’s sight in the blink of an eye.
In the dense forest beside the highway, Skyler raced forward with the corpse of a Winged Serpent slung over his shoulder. Its blood soaked his clothes, masking his scent.
A mission notification continued flashing on the system interface.
“Kill the white snake beast with spiritual intelligence. Reward: Increase one stage of Archmaster Realm cultivation. (0/1)”
Skyler licked his lips excitedly. It had been a long time since he had received a mission that rewarded him with an increase in cultivation. He had never expected one to appear here.
Moving like a ghost, Skyler raced through the forest and soon reached the edge of a valley.
He leaped onto a large, leafy tree and carefully parted the branches. Hundreds of Bloodthirsty Boars had gathered in the valley. A blood-red mist swirled around them, constantly flowing toward the spikes on
their backs.
The blood-infused spikes gave off an eerie glow beneath the sunlight. They trembled continuously, ready to be launched at any moment.
Suddenly, a pale white snake creature emerged from beneath the shade of the trees. It had a serpent’s head and humanlike arms. Gripping a long spear in its right hand, it pointed toward the highway and let out a piercing hiss.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hundreds of blood-soaked spikes tore through the air. They formed a vast wall in the sky and shot toward the highway in the distance.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions soon echoed from afar.,

Skyler knew Toby and the others had just endured another round of attacks.
That was already the fifth round. The barrier class had nearly reached their limit.

Based on Skyler’s experience, people at Toby’s cultivation level could withstand seven rounds of attacks at most. After that, their strength would be completely drained, leaving them unable to fight for some time..
“You must have figured out something that simple too,” Skyler murmured as he stared at the white snake beast. “It’s about time you sent your forces in to finish them off.”
Sure enough, the white snake beast gazed into the distance, and a trace of excitement flashed through ts vicious slit pupils.
Hiss!
After it released another piercing hiss, the forest behind it immediately erupted into chaps. Countless demonic beasts surged out like a black flood and raced toward the highway.
A golden light flashed through Skyler’s eyes, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face.
“That’s right. Send away all your guards, then prepare to die.”
Skyler held his attack. He remained crouched calmly in the tree. Three minutes later, when the thunderous sound of the beast tide had finally faded into the distance, his eyes snapped open.
