I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 309

Blood gushed out from Hayden's neck. His eyes widened with resentment. He tried to speak, but no words came out, and there was nothing he could do. Even if he had infinite mana, he could not escape from the binds of human flesh.

The Demon Slayer had pierced through his vitals.

He fell to the floor in a crumpled heap and died.

The thirty-six Golden Divine Beads he once held scattered all over the ground.

By then, Jonathan and the others had regained their composure.

They felt a twinge of regret in their hearts. After all, the monks from Daphunova Temple were not bad people. They felt guilty for killing them.

Yet, the four of them were not ordinary people and had decisive minds. What's done is done. There's no need to dwell on it.

Jeff said grimly, “We can't underestimate the abbot's divine beads. I will bring them back and fashion them into something else.”

Naturally, Jonathan and the others did not try to stop him.

After Jeff collected the thirty-six Golden Divine Beads, they all got into the car and left the place.

The view before their eyes became clearer after Jonathan drove some distance away.

Soon, they arrived safely at the entrance of Pearl Building.

Upon stopping the car, Jonathan carried Zoe, and they entered the building.

The underground base of Pearl Building was brightly lit.

Inside, the room was filled with priests sitting cross-legged on the floor. They were entirely focused on setting up a formation that had four light and dark fish and two eight trigrams cleverly arranged in the center.

In the surroundings were countless wind chimes, windmills, and runic seals.

The runic seals were authentic seals that were made by Jeff himself, and they could hold a large amount of spiritual power.

While the formations were up, no ordinary wind should have been able to enter the base. However, the windmills spun rapidly. A pleasant scent filled the air, and the people who had just entered the place immediately felt revitalized.

Jeff led the way and headed straight to the operation room. He had already made preparations and had the room set up in advance.

Under Jeff's lead, they arrived at their destination. The doctors, surgical instruments, and sterilization equipment were all ready.

Jonathan walked into the room and placed Zoe on the operating table. The moment he set her down,

Zoe immediately woke up and held his hand. Her forehead was beaded with sweat as she cried out fearfully, “Mr. Lawson, help me!”

Jonathan stared at Zoe in shock. A pleading look and helplessness filled Zoe's eyes.

Despite her plea, Jonathan was not about to be soft-hearted. He apologized and broke away from Zoe's grasp.

“I hate you!” Zoe cried.

“It doesn't matter,” Jonathan replied indifferently. He did not care if she hated him since he had not let her down. If it weren't for them, Zoe would have been killed by the people from Daphunova Temple.

Turning to Jonathan, Jeff said, “You may feel uncomfortable since you're a man. Go wait outside.”

Jonathan nodded in response and exited the operating room. Jeff remained in the room. After all, he would be the one to deal with the cacodemon when it was born.

Jonathan stood there and waited quietly outside the operating room.

It was not too torturous a wait because he was actually looking forward to the birth of the cacodemon and find the Infant King's subordinate. He hoped that nothing bad would befall Mabel.

At that moment, Jonathan's phone rang. It was a message from an unknown number.

The message read: I'm leaving.

Jonathan knew the unknown number belonged to Amber and that the message was from her. Truth be told, he could not comprehend, nor did he care much about Amber's sentimental behavior and hesitation. At that moment, Mabel's safety was the only thing at the forefront of his mind.

He texted back: Have a safe trip.

Approximately half an hour later, a baby's cry sounded from the operating room.

Startled, Jonathan got to his feet.

The cacodemon is born!

“Do you think you can escape? Not a chance!” Jeff's voice also sounded from the room.

He hurriedly produced a gilt bronze bowl and confined the infant in it.

An infant about the size of a puppy lay in the bowl, its body covered in blood and a layer of substance. Its eyes were closed.

Mabel and Beatrix came over to check out the commotion.

Jeff hurriedly carried the gilt bronze bowl to the center of the formation.

He sat down cross-legged in the formation and tapped the infant on the forehead.

With that, the infant stopped moving.

Once Jonathan ascertained that the situation was under control, he turned to Mabel and asked, “How's Zoe doing?”

“She's fine. The doctors here are all at the top of their class. They're currently stitching her up,” Mabel replied.

Jonathan let out a sigh of relief.

Mabel added, “I think Zoe will hate for your this.”

Jonathan smiled wryly. “She can join the queue. Anyway, I have a clear conscience.”

Mabel sighed. “I should be the one she hates.” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Let's not be so sentimental. We don't owe her anything.”

Mabel fell silent, and they both turned their attention back to Jeff.

Shortly after, Jeff retracted his finger.

“What's the matter, Chief Yount?” Jonathan asked anxiously.

He was afraid that after all that they had done, Jeff would tell him that it was impossible. Standing up, Jeff replied, “I managed to get a general sense of the direction, but we will need the cacodemon to lead the way. I've implanted a sort of directional pulse in its mind. It will lead us to the Infant King's subordinate.”

“Does this mean we can't get rid of the cacodemon now?” Mabel asked worriedly.

“I'm afraid so.” Jeff nodded.

“Would the cacodemon somehow turn against us and cause a ruckus?”

Master Gardner said that our fates were intertwined with the cacodemon's. Are we going to fulfill the prophecy?

“Let's take one step at a time. If it's in the cacodemon's fate to survive, there's nothing we can do about it,” Jeff replied. He viewed the situation with an open mind.

Mabel could not afford to be lax since it concerned her life and death, so she did not refute Jeff's words.

“All right, there's no time to lose. Let's go!” Jonathan declared.

The Infant King's primordial spirit that was buried in Mabel's forehead was a ticking time bomb. The sooner they found the Infant King's subordinate, the better it was for her.

Subsequently, the group of people quickly left Pearl Building and got into the military car.

Jeff brought the gilt bronze bowl that contained the cacodemon baby with him.

The cacodemon baby was going to act as a navigation device of sorts.

“We'll head to Kransbay first,” Jeff said to Jonathan.

Approximately two hundred kilometers away, Kransbay was a city located on the periphery of Yaleview.

Jonathan floored the gas the entire way, and they arrived in just a little over an hour.

When they arrived in Kransbay, Jeff held up the gilt bronze bowl and tried to communicate with the cacodemon baby from time to time.

However, his attempts were not very successful. Opening its eyes, the baby stood up in the bowl and shrieked at Jeff in an excruciatingly ear-piercing voice.

Anyone could see that the creature was definitely not an ordinary infant.

A normal baby would have died ages ago from exhaustion from all its screaming.

Everyone turned to look at Jeff. “What's the matter?”

Smiling wryly, Jeff said, “I think it's hungry.”

Jonathan felt a headache coming. “Does it want milk? Would fresh milk from the supermarket do?”

“What it needs isn't milk, but blood,” Jeff said.

Jonathan's eyes sparkled. “That's even better! We have plenty of blood! I'll feed it.”

“It can't be satisfied by just any—”

Before he could finish speaking, Jonathan had already bitten the skin on his own finger and put it inside the cacodemon baby's mouth.

The infant sucked on Jonathan's finger hungrily, like a parched land that had finally seen rain after a long drought.

“Well, I'll be damned!” Jeff did not know what else to say.

The infant continued to suck for five minutes, so much so that Jonathan actually felt a little lightheaded, before letting go.

The infant had grown visibly bigger before their eyes and could no longer fit in the bowl.

Interestingly, the dried substance and various bloody bits stuck on the cacodemon fell off by itself, revealing a pearly white body that looked just like a small baby. The only thing that set it apart from an ordinary infant was the little tail on its back.

Gurgling with contentment and joy, the cacodemon baby pounced on Jonathan. As it could not speak, it showed affection by licking Jonathan's finger tenderly, like a small and adorable pet.

Jonathan found the creature interesting, but he was still mindful of it. He wasn't about to lose himself to the cacodemon baby.

“What's going on?” Jonathan asked Jeff.

Jeff smiled wryly. “The cacodemon baby hasn't regained the memories from its previous life. Currently, it thinks of itself as a newborn baby. It thinks you're its mother because you fed it.”

“Well, damn! Can't I be its father instead?”

The cacodemon baby continued to cling to Jonathan. Subconsciously, Jonathan's paternal instincts were triggered, and he, too, began to feel affection for the tiny creature.

It was then that Jonathan finally understood Zoe's feelings.

Amused, Mabel reached out a hand to tickle the cacodemon baby. Unexpectedly, the cacodemon baby immediately opened its mouth and shrieked at Mabel, startling the latter with its vicious behavior.

“Stop!” Jonathan ordered as he tapped the cacodemon baby's forehead. “Mabel is a good friend of mine. I want you to get along with her, got it?”

Nodding, the cacodemon baby mewled and buried itself in Jonathan's arms, acting like a tame little kitten.

Mabel and Beatrix stared at the cacodemon in awe. The former reached out to stroke it again. This time, it did not reject her touch, but they could see that it was a little upset.

Even Beatrix, who was usually a calm person, could not resist the urge to reach out to stroke the cacodemon baby after witnessing the adorable scene before her.

Just as the cacodemon baby was about to throw a tantrum, Jonathan scolded, “Little rascal, behave yourself! You should respect your elders.”

Grudgingly, the cacodemon baby allowed Beatrix to touch it.
