My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2658

First things first, they had to eliminate this enormous monster. Nash decided to take a gamble.

He did not have experience activating the All Souls Token alongside the Heaven-Shaking Tome. This was a bold attempt, but he was not completely without confidence.

The Heaven-Shaking Tome could neutralize other weapons, so with a slight adjustment, it was not impossible to activate both simultaneously.

With his resolve set, Nash began to gather his true energy in his abdomen. Each weapon seemed to represent an organ; the Heaven-Shaking Tome was a stomach that encompassed all, while the All Souls Token was a trembling heart.

Nash redirected the true energy used for the heart toward the stomach. Sure enough, after the stomach digested the true energy from the All Souls Token, it began to resonate with it. The two powers started to intertwine, and Nash felt a remarkable transformation within his body.

Facing the giant monster before him, he felt no fear at all. In fact, he was hungry. Nash quickly formed some hand seals, then pressed a finger against his abdomen. He opened his trigger points and pushed the true energy from the Heaven-Shaking Tome throughout his body.

Instantly, Nash discovered the solution to deal with the giant monster. Although all the demons and monsters in this forest were born from the changes caused by the Sky Reflector Mirror, they were still just that—demons. The best way to defeat them was to transform them.

Even if the monster before him was incredibly powerful, in Nash's eyes, it was nothing more than an insect.

He summoned all his strength to expand the array. The array quickly grew, covering the entire back area of the mountain within a matter of seconds. Nash aimed to transform all the demons here at once!

This was an unrealistic goal, but for Nash, who had already mastered two ritualistic weapons, there was still a glimmer of hope.

However, it felt as though the heavens were conspiring against him. He was suddenly assaulted by a wave of dizziness.

Nash glanced down at his abdomen. Was some of the backlash still not resolved? Was he two seconds too slow?

Enduring the intense pain, he tried to activate the All Souls Token once more, but it was too late. He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"This is bad. It’s already starting to turn against me!"

Nash realized he had lost the gamble. The backlash from the Heaven-Shaking Tome began even before he closed it. Him sealing his trigger points was then ineffective. At the same time, the token's power could not reach his abdomen due to the backlash.
