Skyler kept his eyes on the beasts. “Gordon, I need to confirm something before we attack. Do have full command of this operation?” 

Gordon nodded vigorously. “Of course. You’re stronger than me, so I have no problem following your 

orders.” 

“When I tell you to leave, you must run without hesitation,” Skyler said solemnly. “Even if I’m surrounded, you can’t come back. Can you do that?” 

Gordon froze. “Skyler, what are you planning?” 

Skyler cut him off. “If you can’t do it, leave now. I can lure the beast tide by myself.” 

Gordon gritted his teeth. “Understood. I can do it.” 

Skyler smiled faintly. “Ready your weapon. We’re charging in.” 

As soon as he finished speaking, Skyler rushed out from cover. Lightning flashed in his hand as the Worldbane Dragon Spear appeared. 

The phantom of the Primordial Thunder Dragon formed in the sky, and its roar echoed across the wilderness. 

Suppressed by the dragon’s overwhelming presence, the rampaging beasts raised their heads and trembled in fear. 

Skyler seized the opportunity and charged into their ranks. His spear slashed and swept relentlessly as silver lightning flickered through the horde. Everywhere he passed, demonic beasts fell like wheat beneath a scythe. 

The beast tide quickly recovered and turned toward him. 

As the upperclasswoman had warned, several fourth-tier and fifth-tier beasts lurked among the horde. The pressure on Skyler instantly intensified, but rather than overwhelm him, it awakened the fighting spirit in 

his blood. 

Skyler laughed and stomped his right foot against the ground. His Frostborn Sacred Body activated, raising a wall of ice before the horde like an enormous fortress. 

Countless attacks struck the wall. The beasts failed to destroy it and left only a web of cracks across its surface. 

Standing behind the wall, Skyler gripped his spear with both hands and slammed it against the ice. A tremendous crash rang out as the wall shattered. 

Countless shards transformed into razor-sharp blades of ice and hurtled toward the beast tide. Caught off guard, the beasts were struck head-on. Their anguished cries filled the air as blood sprayed everywhere. 

Several fifth-tier beasts roared furiously and attacked Skyler from every direction. He remained unmoved,

continuing to slaughter the weaker beasts around him.

Just before their attacks landed, tremendous power gathered above his head. A golden dragon descended from the sky and sank its jaws into the fifth-tier beast behind Skyler, driving its sharp teeth through the creature’s chest. 

The golden dragon coiled around Skyler and swept its tail outward, sending seven or eight fifth-tier beasts flying. 

Gordon’s Ascension Realm power was on full display. Every fifth-tier beast struck by the golden dragon exploded, dying gruesome deaths. 

Skyler watched the golden energy fade around him. “That’s an impressive palm technique.” 

Gordon descended with his ivory spear and landed back-to-back with Skyler. Laughing heartily, he replied. “You flatter me. Let’s slaughter as many as we can today.” 

“Attack,” Skyler ordered. 

They charged forward together and forcibly halted the surging beast tide. 

No matter how formidable they were, they were still only two men. The horde soon stabilized and surrounded them. 

Countless beasts charged without fear, steadily shrinking the space around them. As the pressure mounted, Skyler gritted his teeth and carefully surveyed their surroundings. 

Gordon suddenly grunted and staggered into him. 

“What happened?” Skyler asked, quickly steadying him. 

A wound deep enough to expose bone had appeared across Gordon’s arm. Staring into the distance, he cursed. “Fuck… There really is a sixth-tier beast.” 

Skyler followed his gaze. At the edge of the horde, a mantis beast covered in bone spikes watched them closely. Blood still dripped from the blades of its forelegs. 

There it is. Skyler smiled and slapped Gordon firmly on the shoulder. “Run.” 

Gordon had been gathering his strength, eager to fight the beast that had ambushed him. He hadn’t expected Skyler to order a retreat. 

But he had already given Skyler his word. Without hesitation, he followed him and fought his way out of the horde. 

The mantis beast shrieked, sprang forward, and gave chase. Moving like lightning, it reached them in the blink of an eye. 

Skyler s cultivation was lower than Gordon’s, making him slightly slower. The mantis beast raised its bladed forelegs and slashed at his back.

His expression hardened as he instinctively raised his spear to block. Two deafening clangs rang out, and 

erwhelming force crashed down upon him. His right leg buckled, forcing him to one knee. 

The mantis beast shrieked as if mocking his weakness. Its blades pressed firmly against the Worldbane Dragon Spear, leaving Skyler unable to move. 

Two fifth-tier beasts lunged from either side and raked their claws toward his waist.

“Skyler.” Hearing the commotion, Gordon turned around and went pale with horror. 

The mantis beast had pinned Skyler down, leaving him no time to defend against the other two beasts Without help, they would tear him apart. 

Gordon instinctively moved to help, but Skyler shot him a fierce glare. “Remember what you promised. 

Go.”
