However, the cult master, brimming with confidence in his escape, never imagined he would be cornered into a real no–win
situation.
As he attempted to flee using the power of the matrix spell and the might of the Dragon Armor, Gilmore unleashed a ball of light, powered by the tenfold strike of the Demon Dragon Sword
With a thunderous boom, it struck directly at the cult master, who hadn’t managed to escape yet.
His golden robe shattered into pieces, scattering across the sky. The fragments of the Dragon Armor within his robe were blasted into bits, and the golden runes on the armor dimmed anil lost their light in an instant.
The power of the Dragon Armor vanished completely.
Deprived of the armor’s strength and already drained of his cultivation, the cult master found himself unable to activate the matrix spell.
The matrix spell light surrounding him, his last hope of escape, flickered out, signaling the collapse of his escape plan.
The cult master was dumbfounded.
His last resort for escape, the Dragon Armor, was destroyed just like that?
It was as if he had been thrust into a nightmare even worse than hell. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Without the Dragon Armor, how could he possibly escape?
Panic surged through him.
His only option to flee now seemed to be on a flying steed, but he knew all too well that, although fast, it couldn’t match Gilmore’s speed.
Relying on the flying steed for escape seemed like a fool’s dream.
Therefore, the cult master didn’t opt to flee on the steed.
Instead, he decided to show weakness, hoping Gilmore would spare his life.
After all, a great man knows when to yield and when not.
As long as he could survive this ordeal today, he could return to the Devil Realm and regroup. Then he could seek help from the top figures of the Devil Realm.
With the support of these influential leaders, Gilmore would undoubtedly be crushed to dust.
Thinking this, the cult master, disheveled and covered in dirt, no longer cared about his dignity or the destroyed Dragon
Armor.
Looking at Gilmore, who stood in the distance like a Battle God, exuding an infinite aura of might, he said, “Mr. Reed, your prowess is indeed remarkable. I admit defeat wholeheartedly.”
Gilmore looked at the cult master with a cold smile, “You don’t think that a few flattering words will make me spare you, do you?”
The cult master hastily replied, “Mr. Reed, as a person of such brilliant intellect, of course, wouldn’t let me go just for a few nice words.
Sat,
“But, what if I lead the Eulogian Club to surrender to you? Would you consider sparing my life?”

This statement surprised everyone, including Lilian, Christine, and others on the ground, as well as the martialists of the demonic sects hovering nearby.
They never expected their cult master to propose surrendering to Gilmore.
It was an unprecedented event, signaling the complete downfall of the Eulogian Club.
Gilmore was well aware of the cult master’s intentions.
However, the surrender of the cult master to him and to the Fensville Dragon Sect was not something these martialists could stop.
Gilmore nodded, “If you are willing to surrender, and the entire Eulogian Club submits to the Dragon Sect, I might consider sparing your life.
“However, for leading the malevolent army, attacking and endangering the lives of the common people, you must face appropriate punishment.”
Hearing he could join the Dragon Sect and that Gilmore might spare his life, the cult master inwardly rejoiced, thinking, “As long as he survived this crisis, he would pay Gilmore and the Dragon
Sect back in the future.”
He pretended to be respectful, lowered his head, and said to Gilmore, “I’m willing to accept your punishment, Mr. Reed.”
“Good,” Gilmore nodded, satisfied with the response.
Seeing Gilmore agree to the cult master’s joining of the Dragon Sect, core members like Spencer, Tillman, and others on the ground were quite reluctant to let the cult master become a part of their group.
To them, the cult master, a figure of the Devil’s World, was their adversary.
Incorporating him into the Dragon Sect seemed akin to how one rotten apple spoils the whole barrel.
They wondered whether this ‘rotten apple‘ could endanger the entire Dragon Sect.
However, despite their reluctance, they would abide by any decision made by Gilmore.
Gilmore, hovering in the air, addressed the cult master, “Since you have agreed to surrender, would you remove the mask on your face?”
The cult master’s gaze faltered momentarily.
Taking off the mask meant revealing his true identity, which not even the silver–robed presbyters of the Eulogian Club had
seen.
By asking him to remove the mask, Gilmore was exposing his true face not only to the high ranks of the Eulogian Club but also to those of the Dragon Sect, and to the millions of residents of Fensville.
This would strip him of any anonymity in the future.
Though the cult master was extremely reluctant internally, he knew that if he didn’t comply with Gilmore’s request, Gilmore would never believe in his sincerity to surrender.
And without convincing Gilmore, he couldn’t hope to save his own life.
Weighing his options, he realized that preserving his life was more important than maintaining the secrecy of his identity.
Thus, the cult master raised his hand and slowly removed the mask from his face, revealing his true identity to everyone
