The Man's Decree

Chapter 2273 Slay The Leader First
Boom!
Another deafening explosion sounded. The arcane array's glow suddenly dissolved into stardust and scattered onto the floor.
Jared's arcane array had been utterly destroyed.
“Attack!”
When Jared saw that, he wielded the Dragonslayer Sword and rushed forward with a roar.
Evangeline followed closely behind him, wishing to keep him safe.
“Kill!” yelled Kayden and Klaus as they raised their fists into the air.
Each of them charged forward with their subordinates. None of them dared to hold back or conceal their abilities. If they did not
give their all, they would be devoured by the demon beasts.
Jared weaved in and out of the horde of demon beasts like a bolt of lightning, his Dragonslayer Sword slashing the beasts
constantly.
Kayden and Claus also fought for their lives with the demon beasts. They all formed a circle while launching attacks alongside
each other, exposing no loopholes or weaknesses. The demon beasts couldn't break through the circle of defense.
Roar!
Following a deafening roar, the demon beasts that had been advancing fell back at the same time as if they had received
instructions.
Meanwhile, Jared and the others were covered in blood. There were many casualties as well.
Although they were not severely injured, they had exhausted a lot of spiritual energy, causing them to pant heavily. Seizing the
opportunity to rest when the demon beasts stopped attacking, they took in deep breaths to recover their energy.
It would take them some time to recover the spiritual energy they had spent. If the demon beasts attacked them again, they
probably could not keep up the defense for long.

“If this happens, we'll either be eaten by the demon beasts or die of exhaustion,” said Claus with a frown.
Everyone remained silent as they knew that they would indeed tire themselves to death if this continued.
“Everyone, gather some beast cores and consume some of them now. That way, we can perhaps replenish some spiritual
energy!” Jared yelled at everyone to grab the beast cores.
After all, there were countless dead demon beasts scattered at their feet. The beast cores were the only resource that could
replenish their spiritual energy quickly and efficiently.
“Even if we consume the beast cores, we can't refine them in such a short time...” replied Kayden with a sigh.
“Just refine as much as we can. We have no choice now.”
With that, Jared brandished the Dragonslayer Sword and tossed a few dead demon beasts into the air. He then inhaled sharply
and absorbed everything into his abdomen.
Unleashing the Focus Technique, he started refining the beast cores that he had just swallowed.
Meanwhile, Jared observed the demon beasts that had just retreated to around a hundred meters away, looking as if they were
waiting to unleash the next wave of attack.
Meanwhile, the Blazing Tiger was staring at Jared and the rest while standing on a protruding boulder.
“Looks like we'll have to slay the leader first.”
Jared gazed at the Blazing Tiger, knowing that if he killed it, all of the demon beasts would disperse.
However, it would not be easy to kill the Blazing Tiger. Since there were hordes of demon beasts on the ground, the only way to
attack the Blazing Tiger was through the air.
Roar!
As if it had read Jared's mind, the Blazing Tiger threw its head backward and roared. Instantly, thousands of demon beasts
began to attack.

“Hold off these demon beasts! I'll kill the Blazing Tiger! Once the Blazing Tiger dies, the demon beasts will disperse!” Jared
instructed Kayden and Klaus.
After all, it was almost impossible to slay so many demon beasts at once. Furthermore, the spiritual energy they possessed
wasn't enough for them to accomplish that feat.
Hence, they had to take an alternative route and target the leader first.
“Jared, you'll never be able to kill the Blazing Tiger with your ability! Let me try instead.”
Kayden wanted to kill the Blazing Tiger, not because he was concerned about Jared's safety. Instead, he wanted to do so for the
sake of his own self-interest.
After all, if he killed the Blazing Tiger, he would get its beast core, which was invaluable.
