The King Of Warriors novel (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5661

"It was a rain-soaked night," the elder continued, voice thinning to a raspy whisper. "At the sect's entrance, I discovered an abandoned infant—drenched, trembling, little more than skin over bone. Pity carried him across our threshold, and pity made him my disciple. I named him Soul Devourer, urging him to shed the agony of his past and start anew. The boy's brilliance was dazzling. Soon, he rose to Heaven Gate's inner circle, and I lavished every skill upon him as though he were blood of my blood."

Soul Devourer... The name knifed into Jared and Sylvia at the same instant, conjuring the infamous demon lord whose shadow still darkened tales across the realms.

Grief flared in the elder's eyes. "What I never foresaw was that the child hailed from the Demon Sect. His clan had been massacred by the so-called righteous path; revenge became the marrow of his bones. He courted my trust only to learn Heaven Gate's greatest skills, and wield them as weapons of retribution."

"Once he stepped into the Heavenly Immortal Realm, his mask cracked. Under a full moon, he struck. Combining my teachings with the Demon Sect's sorcery, he butchered every disciple in a single night."

Elder Hawksley's voice splintered. Tears traced slow, unsteady paths down the creases of his cheeks. "I was in solitary training. When I emerged, rivers of blood coursed through every hall. My proudest student—my chosen heir—had burned my life's work to cinders."

"I sealed Heaven Gate's core grounds, fashioning the very ruins you now tread. Then I shattered my own body and joined my disciples in death, leaving only this fragment of soul behind. For ten thousand years, I have lingered, searching for heirs who might complete my final wish."

So that is why every trial warned us not to play the savior. Jared realized, a chill rippling along his spine.

Saving a demon destroyed an entire sect.Sylvia thought, heart suddenly heavy. Heaven Gate did not fade—it was slaughtered by Soul Devourer.
