A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5447

The spirits lunged like rabid hounds—senseless, tireless, uncaring whether their shredded forms survived a heartbeat longer, so long as they could tear living flesh.

"Kill!" Jared roared, the single word ripping from his chest like a war-drum.

Dragonslayer flashed in a golden arc. Every swing scythed through clustered demonic souls, the blade's radiance sweeping them away like autumn wind stripping dry leaves, until dozens dissolved into drifting ash.

Yet, the torrent thickened. For every demonic soul slain, ten more surged forward, a sea without shore.

Beside him, Aurelius unleashed a tide of luminous force. His own gold sword spun in widening circles, each rotation carving out a crater of silence amid the shrieks.

Still, they came—two hundred thousand howling demonic souls, rolling in waves that swallowed steel and light alike.

Onneas' brow furrowed tighter with each passing second. She had not imagined Soul Devourer would stoop to such a shameless tactic.

These demonic souls were weak, but their endless numbers were buying the fiend every heartbeat he needed.

"This stalemate will bury us. We break through now!" Onneas' voice cut like frost.

She stopped mid-stride, pivoted, and called, "Form up behind me—I'll carve the path!"

Power exploded from her core. Mist-blue energy surged outward, knitting itself into a towering shield of light that roared down the corridor.

Where the wall of brilliance passed, demonic souls disintegrated in shrieking curls of soot. Even the stronger demon generals crumpled before the onrush.

With Onneas at the spear-point, the party streaked through the breach, that azure curtain shearing a tunnel straight toward the palace's pulsing void.

Behind them, the demonic souls regrouped and flung themselves forward once more, a black tide determined to drown the fragment of sky still clutched in Onneas' wake.

Roar!
