Chapter 885
Roxy spoke in an icy voice. It seemed like she was acting in Ashton’s best interests, but Ashton was still
as defiant as ever.
“If I could defeat Cassian once, I can do it again,” he replied firmly. “And since you’re Celia’s mother, I’ll spare your life.”
“Why are you wasting your breath on him, Roxy?” Cassian snapped. “He has no idea how powerful we became after we joined forces! Don’t worry. I’ll spare his life, but I’ll cripple him completely. He’ll spend the rest of his life as someone who’s beneath us!”
Cassian burst into manic laughter as his aura continued to grow stronger.
Frowning, Roxy stared at Ashton with an unreadable expression before finally shaking her head.
“I’ve said everything that needs to be said, Ashton. This is your last chance to walk away. If you choose to stay, you’ll have to face the consequences of your decision.”
“Do you remember what I told you, Roxy? You don’t understand anything. Today, maybe you’ll finally realize that I’m the one who provided you with everything you have. Meanwhile, you were never aware of how capable I actually am!”
Ashton had recovered some of his spiritual and inner energy. He could feel his Drakeborne lineage growing more rampant by the second.
His powers were building up exponentially, and he was certain that his chance to break into the divine realm had finally come. Now, all he needed was one final push.
Roxy met his gaze and knew that there was no need to say anything else. She would simply let the outcome decide who was at fault.
Her gaze
flickered as she formed another hand seal. Subsequently, she pushed the Shadow Conversion Pact to its limits and channeled every ounce of her constitution’s powers into Cassian’s body.
Moments later, the damage that had been transferred to her through the pact caused her to spit out a mouthful of blood. Then, her face turned pale, and she collapsed onto the ground.
She was completely drained of strength. If not for her Primordial Innate constitution, her body would never have been able to withstand this amount of damage.
In an instant, the barrier dissipated. Cassian’s body began to emit a brilliant glow, and the aura of a pinnacle of the divine realm expert erupted into the air.
The ground below Cassian cracked with a single step. With a loud cackle, he shot Ashton a vicious glare. He had already decided on how to humiliate him and destroy him completely.
Roxy, on the other hand, was extremely weak. Lifting her head, she told Cassian, “Don’t forget about our agreement. You told me you’d let Ashton walk out of Javonbury alive.”

Cassian glanced at Roxy, who looked as beautiful as ever, and his eyes began to burn with a possessive
instinct.
Nodding, he replied, “Don’t worry, Roxy–I’ll keep my word. But to avoid any future problems, I’m going to strip him of his cultivation and cripple him completely. He’s going to spend the rest of his life as a useless nobody!”
Roxy fell silent. Then, she eventually nodded. She was fully aware that this was the best outcome
Cassian could offer her.
Prior to this, she had already given Ashton a chance to leave. But unfortunately, the latter didn’t seize the
opportunity.
“Get some rest, Roxy. Leave the rest to me!” Cassian declared.
