Chapter 514

Since being trapped in this power-suppressing cage, no one had entered. But today, a man walked in carrying an oven-like contraption and shoved Dave inside.

Dave had no idea where it was being taken, and resistance was futile. Without its power suppressed and on a full stomach, it could have beaten Judy up.

Soon, Dave was hauled out of Sky Prison and into the streets.

Crowds lined the roads, pointing and shouting, “Burn it! Burn it!”

Dave had lost count of how many centuries it had lived, but it had always been treasured. Never once had anyone wanted it dead. It couldn’t die from fire, but being burned alive? That would hurt a lot.

As they neared the church, Judy watched from the shadows, growing impatient. Shermaine still hadn’t shown up.

Judy thought, ‘The whole city knows about this execution. If Shermaine and Joshua were here, they’d have heard. Why aren’t they coming? Do they not care about it? No. This creature’s abilities are too valuable to abandon.’

The church was packed. Judy clenched her fists, frustration mounting.

The crowd grew restless. “It’s time. Why isn’t it burning yet?”

“Hurry up.”

“Just kill it already!”

Under the crowd’s shouting, a soldier yanked Dave from the box. Just then, an arrow whistled through the air, striking the soldier’s hand. The soldier screamed as Dave hit the ground and bolted.

The other soldiers lunged after it, but Dave, weakened by hunger, was quickly captured.

But the next instant, another arrow struck.

Dave tumbled free again, knowing that Shermaine and Joshua were here.

The lead advisor bellowed, “1013, deploy. Find the archers and kill them.”

From within the crowd, the mutant’s sharp gaze locked onto a tall building near the church. He dashed forward at incredible speed, only to be flung back through the air for dozens of feet by a speeding sports car.

Screams tore through the crowd as people scattered.

Joshua stepped out of the car.

The mutant staggered to his feet, his wounds healing at an alarming rate.

From a distant rooftop, Shermaine calmly put aura stones into a bag, then attached it to a drone. With precise control, she guided the drone toward the church.

The bag burst open mid-air, scattering the stones across the ground. Spotting this, Dave pounced instantly, gulping down several in one bite.

The effect was immediate. Energy surged through Dave’s body. Now, even if the soldiers tried to recapture it, Dave was unstoppable.

Dave shot forward like a missile, slamming into the soldiers with brutal force. Instantly, screams erupted as bodies flew.

After the rampage, Dave paused to snatch up more stones, replenishing its strength.

Shermaine no longer worried about Dave’s safety. With the aura stones, it could fend for itself. Her focus shifted to Joshua and the mutant.

The battle was fierce. The mutant’s strength was undeniable. But Joshua, born of the royal family’s bloodline, possessed a body honed for combat. Even as he took the mutant’s blows, his counterattacks were devastating.

With Joshua locked in combat, Shermaine was left without backup. Judy seized the moment, emerging from the crowd, to order members of the assassination department, “Find Shermaine and kill her.”
