Chapter 1023 Whitebone Fiends' Fear

Nevertheless, the True Samadhi Golden Flames wasn't something Cindertail could use tirelessly; it burns a lot of energy.

After Cindertail made one loop and created a golden ring of burning flames to completely seal off the Whitebone Fiends' advances, he was already feeling the exhaustion of True Samadhi Golden Flames.

The True Samadhi Golden Flames wasn't just taxing on Cindertail's body but also his mind.

It was very demanding to use the True Samadhi Golden Flames, and even then, Cindertail was not yet capable of drawing out all of its power.

Cindertail's body was still not strong enough, and his mental strength wasn't firm enough.

After Cindertail stopped using the True Samadhi Golden Flames, all the True Samadhi Golden Flames burning in the region suddenly vanished like a dissipating illusion.

They didn't appear for long and left even quicker.

Even so, Cindertail's True Samadhi Golden Flames had succeeded in wiping out half of the existing Whitebone Fiends that had crawled out of the abyss.

"The True Samadhi Golden Flames comes and goes like an illusion… It really is like the mind's flames recorded in the legends… To think that a member of our clan managed to awaken the bloodline ability of our primal ancestors in this generation… This must be a sign…!"

Goldenstride commented as his eyes glowed with anticipation.

"How should I address you, Milord? When did the Golden Suanni Clan have someone like you among us?" Dawnchaser approached Cindertail with a humble attitude.

Dawnchaser had placed Cindertail on a higher level of importance despite being a Peak Paragon, whereas Cindertail was still a Late Paragon.

Might is right, but bloodline purity is royalty.

"I am called Cindertail, and I am not someone from the main clan. I live near the eastern outskirts," Cindertail replied without looking back as he focused on the remnant Whitebone Fiends in the distance ahead.

Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis nearby were immediately astonished by Cindertail's answer.

Only average members usually live outside the main clan. And yet, there was one average member with a purer bloodline than them? It was hard to believe.

Even so, it was also true that none of the Peak Paragon-level Golden Suannis recognize Cindertail.

"Are you really not from the main clan? A bastard child that was banished to live on the outskirts, perhaps?" a Peak Paragon-level Golden Suanni doubted.

Cindertail immediately frowned at the Peak Paragon-level Golden Suanni's rude speculation.

Nevertheless, it wasn't the time for Cindertail to argue with the Peak Paragon-level Golden Suanni over it.

"Who I am isn't important right now. What's important is dealing with the enemies before us," Cindertail said sternly.

"Lord Cindertail is correct," Dawnchaser agreed with a nod before focusing on the Whitebone Fiends ahead of them with a solemn look.

The Whitebone Fiends' inactive behavior ever since Cindertail's True Samadhi Golden Flames wiped out half of them had started to bother him.

"It's strange that these Whitebone Fiends aren't attacking anymore when they showed such aggressive and bloodthirsty nature until now," Dawnchaser mentioned.

"Perhaps they fear Lord Cindertail's True Samadhi Golden Flames?" Goldenstride guessed.

"Does that even make sense?" Goldblazer frowned with doubt.

"They've been throwing their lives at us without a shred of fear for over half a day. Why would they fear the True Samadhi Golden Flames when we have been killing them all the same either way?"

"Maybe it's not fear then?" another Peak Paragon-level Golden Suanni assumed.

"Then are you suggesting something ordered them to stop attacking?" Goldblazer glanced at the Peak Paragon-level Golden Suanni before shaking his head. "That makes even less sense. These Whitebone Fiends don't seem to possess any intelligence to follow commands."

"We don't know that for sure," Dawnchaser said with an ill-foreboding feeling.

Even after half the Whitebone Fiends on the surface were wiped out, the sense of threat that he felt did not lessen; it intensified instead.

Rumble…!

The ground suddenly shook, and the Whitebone Fiends became restless.

Shortly after, Whitebone Fiends started pouring out of the abyss opening in a frenzied state as if they were running away from something, causing the other Whitebone Fiends on the surface to also flee from the abyss opening.

"The Whitebone Fiends are coming again!" Dawnchaser alerted everyone with his mighty voice.

However, the Whitebone Fiends didn't pay the Golden Suanni Clan's Paragons any attention. They just wanted to flee far from the abyss opening.

None of their previously aggressive and bloodthirsty nature could be observed; they were genuinely afraid.

This made Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suanni feel uneasy.

Just what kind of being could instill such fear into the Whitebone Fiends?

Nevertheless, Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suanni had no intention of letting the Whitebone Fiends pass them.

The female golden Suannis and their cubs hiding in the jungle behind them would be in danger.

"Don't let them pass!" Dawnchaser roared.

Rumble…!

The ground suddenly shook again but stronger and clearer. Whatever was coming out of the abyss was drawing closer, and it was certainly not small and weak.

The Whitebone Fiends became even more fearful. They did not even try to fight back anymore.

Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suanni easily decimated the Whitebone Fiends with their claws and fangs alongside Cindertail.

"How can you have such a pure bloodline? Did you really awaken your bloodline ability at the Late Paragon level?" Goldenstride wondered curiously.

"Is this really the appropriate time to be asking me that—"

Rumble…!

Before Cindertail could finish speaking, the ground suddenly shook a third time.

However, this time, it was so powerful that it caused numerous Whitebone Fiends near the abyss opening to lose their balance.

At the same time, portions of the ground near the abyss opening broke off and fell into the abyss with several hundreds of other Whitebone Fiends.

Boing! Boing! Boing!

They seemed to have landed something soft and bouncy very shortly before being launched back out of the abyss.

However, they weren't airborne for long before countless fleshly tentacles shot out from the abyss and caught them all, dragging them back into the abyss.

Shortly after, an incomparably enormous heap of flesh started squeezing its way out of the abyss opening.

Leon's eyes quickly shrank into slits upon spotting it.
