I Am Unstoppable

Jonathan felt so helpless as he faced the Lone Demon Beast. He was fretting like a cat on hot bricks, perturbed about Mabel's safety.

While he was caught in a major quandary, death was beckoning to poor Mabel. Their predicaments could not get any worse than that.

Jeff sighed and said, “We should have expected this.”

“Expected what?” Jonathan asked.

Jeff replied, “All the spiritual herbs and precious medicines found on the mountains must be guarded by beasts. The baby ghosts in Pinelake Mountain Forest are all high-quality supplements, so how could there be no beasts guarding them? If we had thought of this earlier, we would've brought the bazooka along, and we wouldn't be terrified of the beasts.”

Jonathan nodded in agreement.

Had I known is always at last!

Unfortunately, it was too late for such wishful thinking.

“Could Mabel be saved?” Jonathan asked even though he himself was in grave danger.

Jeff sighed again and uttered, “Mabel needs to consume at least a hundred baby ghosts in order to transform the mana in her brain into dark energy. To date, she has only consumed less than twenty baby ghosts. The negative energy in her brain is at war with each other right now. Even the Great Emperor cannot save her!”

Jonathan's heart sank immediately when he heard those words. He was inundated with great sorrow.

In this world, there are many things beyond our control.

Once again, Jeff sighed. “You don't have to be too sad. I'm afraid our lives will all end right here, right now.”

Jonathan glared at the Lone Demon Beast, hatred written all over his face. “Is there really nothing else we can do to get rid of this d*mned beast?”

Jeff answered solemnly, “Don't you know that one invincible person alone can destroy ten great masters? All tricks in the face of absolute power are useless.”

“If that's the case, you two should leave at once. I'll hold the beast back,” proposed Jonathan after making up his mind on the spur of the moment.

Stunned, Jeff and Beatrix gazed at Jonathan simultaneously.

Jeff smiled wryly. “I've been cultivating for over a century. It's very hard for me to let go of the things on earth. If I had a choice, I'd rather suffer and die a glorious death than scurry away like a coward.”

Beatrix chimed in, “Jon, you're the weakest among us. I've promised Master to protect you, so I won't leave you behind no matter what.”

Jonathan was annoyed and said, “It's a crucial time right now, so stop talking and go! If this monster was staring at you two instead of me, I'd have run for my life already.”

In actual fact, he would not do that.

Afterward, Jonathan zipped his mouth, turned around, and fled.

This time, he learned from his mistakes and took a zigzag path while fleeing. He also targeted the big trees and ran around them for better protection.

Although the Lone Demon Beast was powerful and terrifying, its huge body was a disadvantage to its movement.

When Jonathan ran, the Lone Demon Beast followed him from behind.

Meanwhile, Jeff and Beatrix remained unscathed.

Suddenly, a glint flashed across Beatrix's eyes. “Elder Yount, please take care of Mabel. As for Jon and I, we shall handle the Lone Demon Beast.” Then, she charged forward with her Demon Slayer.

Jeff was without a weapon. Therefore, he was not a threat to the Lone Demon Beast.

Besides, he was so worried about Mabel's condition that he went looking for her right away.

Mabel was going through horrible torture. Conflicted as if she was trapped between two hells, the endless agony drove her nearly mad. It felt like her body parts were at war with one another.

When Jeff approached her, he noticed that her entire body was drenched in sweat, and her face had turned ashen.

These signs and symptoms indicated a rapid loss of her vital energy.

“Mabel!” Jeff went pale and gasped in shock.

Mabel used all of her might to prop herself up. She grabbed Jeff's arm and requested, “J-Jeff... Jeff... Kill me...”

Shuddering, Jeff was at a loss for words. He felt so sorry for Mabel.

They had known each other for a very long time, so Jeff knew Mabel was a strong-willed, unwavering person. However, the tough, determined Mabel was in so much pain that she was now seeking death.

She was staring at him with eyes filled with pain and anguish.

Yet, Jeff shook his head and denied her request. “No. No way...”

Tears started streaming down Mabel's face as she dug her sharp nails into her palm. Clenching her jaw, she said through gritted teeth, “Jeff, would you rather watch me suffer like this? Why don't you end my life once and for all?”

Jeff shook his head. “No, Mabel, you don't get it. This isn't the end yet. There's a chance we could turn things around even though I'm not quite sure how to do that. Anyhow, please hang in there. If you could persevere till the end, you might be able to start anew. This is a trial you have to go through. It's a question of mind over matter, Mabel!”

“But I don't see a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel. Do you, Jeff? Tell me!” said Mabel.

Jeff replied, “Jonathan!”

“Jonathan isn't God. There are times that even he is powerless,” refuted Mabel.

“He can always create a miracle! Listen to me and hang in there. Please give Jonathan some time. Otherwise, we'll all die with regrets,” Jeff stated firmly.

After hearing what he said, Mabel's eyes gleamed with hope.

She was hopeful because of Jonathan.

But where is he now?

Meanwhile, Jonathan was in such a dire situation that he didn't have time to think of anything, including how to save Mabel. His own life was at stake.

After running for about a hundred meters into the distance, the Lone Demon Beast was slowly catching up with him.

Clearly, Jonathan's speed and power were not on par with the monster's. The Lone Demon Beast only had to take one step to catch up with Jonathan when the latter took ten steps.

Furthermore, the Lone Demon Beast was super destructive. It was so powerful that it could wipe out anything in sight in mere seconds.

The beast was unstoppable, and it knocked down everything that obstructed its path, reducing them to ashes.

Nothing was exempted.

Jonathan had reached his limit after unleashing the power of Haemocore and running a whopping ten thousand meters within sixty seconds. He was exhausted thereafter due to the high-intensity physical movements.

Beatrix had a hard time chasing after them. When she got close to the Lone Demon Beast, she made a leap and got on top of its back.

Right when she was about to kill it with her Demon Slayer blade, the beast shook its body vigorously as though it was powered by a ten-thousand-volt electric current!

Even Beatrix was unable to cope with it and got hurled backward from the impact.

She was sent flying before landing on the ground steadily.

The delay made it nearly impossible for her to catch up with both the Lone Demon Beast and Jonathan again.

The unpredictable situation left her panicking. She was always able to tackle any opponents since the day she made a name for herself. However, the Lone Demon Beast was an exception. She could not find a way to attack or subdue it.

Even though the Lone Demon Beast had not cultivated even once, it was blessed with divine superpowers.

Every individual and animal had ordinary strength in them. It was not something people would pay much attention to, but any kind of force, no matter how insignificant it was, could become indestructible once it became increasingly powerful.

Though it was practically impossible for Beatrix to catch up with the Lone Demon Beast, she did not give up. Conversely, she dashed forward and continued chasing after it.

While escaping, Jonathan felt the ground behind him shake as if there was an earthquake. As the wind blew, a pungent stench of blood wafted up his nose. He knew that he couldn't afford to lower his guard, for a tiny mistake on his part would result in the Lone Demon Beast smashing him into pieces.

Does the Lone Demon Beast hold a grudge against me? Why does he hate me so much? D*mn it! Why is it so persistent in chasing me? Why can't he just give up?

In the nick of time, Jonathan spotted a cave.

Without hesitating, he dashed forward and squirmed into it like a snake in order to escape death.

The moment he entered the cave, the ground behind him shook violently.
