A Warrior Undefeatable

Inside a grand palace on the vast Caxton Continent, Nilou's brows were tightly furrowed, a growing sense of unease building within her.

Jemina still hadn't arrived. Without the Murray family's support, there was no way the Caxton Continent could hold off the Eighth Hall's assault.

"My Lady, when's your reinforcement getting here? If we keep stalling, I can't even begin to count how many innocent folks in Caxton Continent will fall to the Celestial Palace's forces," Andre said anxiously.

"Just a little longer. They should be here any moment now!" Nilou answered.

"My Lady, I can't keep waiting. Daprein has already fallen under the Celestial Palace's control. If we don't act soon, it'll be completely wiped out," Andre pressed.

"What do you expect us to do?" Ashton asked.

"We aren't strong enough to fight back. We have no choice but to surrender. What else could we do-stand there and watch everyone die?" Andre replied.

"You traitor. I knew you'd fold. I ought to finish you off right now—"

As Ashton raised his hand to strike, Nilou cut him off, yelling, "Enough! Do you all really want to tear each other apart right now?"

Everyone went quiet, eyes turning to Nilou, waiting for a plan. But all she could do was wait and hope. Every moment that passed cost another life from the Caxton Continent.

Suddenly, someone burst through the doors, breathless and excited. "My Lady! They've retreated! Their forces have all pulled back!"

"What do you mean?" Nilou asked, eyes wide with disbelief.

"They're gone. The Celestial Palace people—they've left the Caxton Continent entirely!" the messenger exclaimed.noveldrama

"What's going on?" Nilou asked, stunned but elated.

"I don't really know either," the messenger admitted with a shake of his head.

The three other kings stood in shock. None of them could make sense of why the Celestial Palace forces would withdraw so suddenly.

"I get it now! It must've been the ally I asked for help. She must've driven the Celestial Palace's people out!" Nilou's eyes suddenly lit up with realization.

As she spoke, a powerful aura swept toward the palace, landing at the entrance.

"My Lady, your guest is here to see you!" the man who had come with Jared called out.

"Haha! I knew it was her!" Nilou said with excitement. "Let them in!"

Jemina entered, leading Jared and the others. As soon as Nilou saw her, Jemina ran into her arms, and the two women embraced tightly.

"Jemina, I can't thank you enough. Without you, the Celestial Palace's forces would've completely taken over the Caxton Continent."

"Don't thank me," Jemina said, motioning toward Jared. "He's the one you should thank."

"Jared?" Nilou looked over at him, clearly puzzled. When she noticed he was only at Wandering Immortal Realm Level One, her face twisted with doubt.

"Don't judge him by his cultivation level; he's incredibly strong. He even forced the overlord of the Celestial Palace's Eighth Hall, a Wandering Immortal Realm Level Five

cultivator, to admit defeat. That's

why they retreated," Jemina explained, anticipating Nitou's confusion.

"My Lady, is this the backup you brought? I'm sorry, but I don't see even a shred of connection between the Celestial Palace's retreat and this group here," Andre scoffed after giving Jared and the others @quick once-over.

Judging from their auras, Jemina was the strongest among them at the peak Wandering Immortal Realm Level Three. Flaxseed and Jared didn't seem particularly powerful. He simply couldn't believe that these few individuals managed to force the Celestial Palace's people into retreating.

Nilou didn't argue. In truth, she found it hard to believe, too. She had expected the

Murray family to send experts, not just a few unknown faces.
