Chapter 4227
i'm going to kill you! Argh!"
Amid his fury, Skylar let out a crazed shout. He moved to rush forward to kill Kendall, but the fiend
soul energy in his body was completely out of his control.
The entire Prayer Tower trembled from the force as a flash of terrifying fiend soul energy radiated
from Skylar’s body.
A few seconds later, Skylar could no longer take the force and keeled over. He had fallen
unconscious. 1
At the same time, fierce energy emanated from his body.
Kendall did not hesitate; she moved to sit cross-legged and began to absorb the energy that leaked
from Skylar.
Kendall was not a fiend descendant, so she could not absorb Skylar's fiend soul energy. However,
she had combined the ancient poisonous centipede's internal energy with her own. The ancient
poisonous centipede was a creature that had lived for almost ten thousand years, and many fiend
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfolks had taken it as a pet. That had forged a close bond between the fiend race and the beast.
Under those circumstances, Kendall could combine the fiend soul energy with her own. 3
Of course, Kendall did not know anything about that history. That was a last -minute
decision, and she was lucky it had worked.
It was unclear how long had passed when Kendall had finally absorbed the fiend soul
energy. Her sinister face looked even more evil as her body radiated with an impossibly
strong aura.
Skylar, at that point, was already unconscious. His face was deathly pale, and his body
appeared fragile.
He was a fiend descendant. It was hard to kill him entirely, even with Kendall absorbing his
fiend soul energy.
Kendall moved to stand up when she noticed something in Skylar's arms. Out of curiosity,
she plucked it out of his grasp to take a look at it.
It was a golden scroll, which Skylar had meant to give to Yvette.
Kendall opened it to peek at its contents and was overjoyed when she saw what was in it.
It was perfect.
She had been worried about the possible side effects of absorbing the fiend soul energy.
Yet, there was a copy of the Reverse fiend Soul Takeover chant, ready for her to use.
With that spell, she no longer had to worry about a possible Reverse fiend Soul Takeover.
Just then, she heard footsteps from the outside. Almost a hundred royal guards rushed into
the room at top speed.
A man with a silver helmet and radiating power led that group. It was the royal guard
captain, Orlando Price.
The Prayer Tower was considered forbidden grounds, and neither Orlando nor the guards
had the right to barge in the way they did. However, Skylar's scrambled fiend soul energy
made the air around the Prayer Tower constrict heavily.
Under those circumstances, Orlando sensed that something was off and rushed to check
out what was happening with his subordinates immediately.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, Skylar was Lord Kenny's most honored guest. If anything were to go awry, Orlando would
have to answer for it.
The sight that greeted them as they entered the Prayer Tower made both Orlando and the guards
behind him stop short in anger and fear.
They could see ten children on the floor, and they were unconscious. Their faces were also ashen. It
was clear that they had been dead for quite a while. On another end, Skylar lay motionless, and his
face was deathly pale.
Kendall stood next to Skylar, well and alive. Her stunning figure took everyone's breath away, a
sharp contrast to the terrifying energy that radiated off her.
"What-"
Orlando finally snapped back to his senses. He glowered at Kendall in shocked fury. "What's going on
here, Master Jones? What happened to Honorable Master Blanc?"
As the royal guard captain, Orlando had a pretty clear idea of what Skylar had been up to in the past
few days. That was why he hardly batted an eyelash at the dead children's bodies on the floor.
All Orlando cared about was Skylar’s wellbeing.
Skylar was His Majesty's honorable guest. If anything happened to him, Orlando would have to
answer for it.
