Chapter 400: Doomed to Suffer
Chapter 400: Doomed to Suffer
Zach didn't understand Vanessa's intentions, and neither did the other beasts. They glanced at the brown tortoise briefly, then they just dismissed their thoughts.
After that, Zach just dragged his son to go to the bench appointed by the Goddess. Right now, the two of them were in quite a vulnerable spirit state. Therefore, they would watch everything under the Goddess's magic bench protection for their own good.
"Hey, father, it turns out that you are quite cruel even though you are a man yourself." Jimmy shuddered a little to remember his father's idea just now.
"What do you expect from it, son of mine? Because of your death, it is clear that my winged tiger superior's bloodline has been cut off for granted. For now onwards, the Winged Tiger Clan has completely collapsed." Zach snorted as he stared at the approaching fire lions with anticipation shining in his eyes.
"Huh, why is that, father? I don't understand." Jimmy scratched his head in confusion. His father answered with something utterly unrelated to what he was talking about.
"The pure blood of my descendants is only my daughter. She will only serve her Goddess master for the rest of her life. Now tell me, what will happen after this because of this?" Zach throws back the question with little clarification.
"Hm, that's quite reasonable, father. Although my big sister has several tiger cubs in the future, it is no longer our clan's superior blood." Jimmy understood a little because he had heard it before.
"That's right. In contrast to males who can maintain the blood purity of their offspring to more than ninety percent no matter who the mate is, females only have no more than sixty percent. And you died a ridiculous death. Alas, the fate of our clan seems to have come to an end... Doomed to be fall apart. My superior bloodline..." Zach heaved a sad sigh when he remembered his doomed bloodline.
"Well, who can predict the future, father. Please don't be sad. Perhaps, big sister will find happiness besides the glorious Goddess. Big sister might as well ascend and become a Divine Beast herself, right?" Jimmy had a different opinion as he patted his father on the back.
While the two little tigers were having a light conversation, Elysia and her little group just stood there waiting for the arrival of the Beast God and his entourage.
A gust of wind and a slight rumble changed the peaceful atmosphere of the vacant land into a slightly tense and oppressive one. How could it not be? It was a horde of over a thousand Spirit Beasts and above.
'Wow, I think this group consists of around two thousand or three thousand elite beast warriors. They seem ready to battle us when something goes south. Well then, let's welcome them before this revenge battle begins, Ely.' Elena commented as the Beast God horde had entered her zone of sight.
'Looks like we don't have to do that since the Beast God and the four fire lions are coming toward us instead.' Elysia was just waiting as the five lions were approaching.
"Woah, look at this, are you preparing to attack us if something unfortunate happens?" Nell folded her arms and pointed at the pack of beasts.
Then, she checked the surrounding with her magic vision and saw so many more beasts in the vicinity. More than three kilometers away, more than a thousand beasts were already in their safe position to watch this event.
"What do you mean by that, the Goddess of Blessings? Do you think the three Goddesses will lose to only about three thousand mortals?" Regulus grinned, but it was only for an instant.
"Whatever you plan and try to do, please don't make the Goddess of Light angry. You never know what 'she' will do to you and that is the last thing you expect to happen to you." Rhea reminded Regulus in guessing that there was a scheme behind this.
"Whatever, I'm not good at such troublesome matters." Regulus waved his paw in front of his face. "Now is the time. We'd better start all of this right away. Prepare your sealing magic and limit the strength of all participants to the Spirit level early stage."
"Straight to the point. Alright, let's do that." Elysia nodded in agreement.
At the same time, she asked Rhea and Nell for help regarding the technique in question. 'Uhm, can you help me with this, Rhea, Nell? I don't know how to seal someone's power yet.'
'Ah, well, I'll teach you, Master Elysia.' Rhea was happy to help, or rather teach. But, she didn't forget to have a backup plan. 'Little Nell, please look after us if Regulus dares to have crooked ideas.'
'En, leave it to me, big sister!' Nell gave a wink.
After that, Elysia and Rhea asked the eight participants to come forward. Rhea formed a golden magic circle large enough to cover the eight beasts.
'So the first is to make a magic circle like this. After that, all we need to do is use our magic to enter their magic stream. If you could see or feel the threads of the magic flow in their bodies, then this would be easy. Then-' Rhea then explained to Elysia one by one and step by step. She also taught Elysia a slight variant of the Strength Sealing Technique.
Rhea did the sealing of the power by herself because it was such an easy thing. Apart from that, she didn't want to let Regulus know that Elysia was still relatively new to divine magic.
In particular, she didn't want parties outside their small group to know that Elysia was a Goddess from another world. Everything simply for the common good in consideration for Elysia and Elena.
"Mm, your strength have already been sealed to the early stage of the Spirit level for the entire day. This strength seal will disappear by itself when the time comes. No matter what technique or magic you use, the output will only be equivalent to the power of a Spirit level." Rhea explained a bit after she finished sealing the power of the eight beasts. After that, she left everything to Elysia.
"Alright, everyone please step into the field." Elysia pointed her hand at the vast vacant lot.
After the eight beasts entered the zone, she immediately used her magic to erect a giant barrier dome as the boundary line.
"This is a battle to settle the old grudge between the winged tigers and the pyrogressive lions. No one shall interfere with their holy fight. On the south side are three winged tigers and a tortoise, then on the north side are four pyrogressive lions. The rules are simple. As long as the opponent doesn't die, then there are no other rules. This--" Elysia explained a few things about this battle with sound amplification magic for all to hear.
After Elysia finished explaining, she went to the bench to sit there.
Meanwhile, Rhea and Nell only glanced at the Beast God once, and then they left together with Elysia.
"The battle area is already protected by a layered barrier that spans a radius of two kilometers. The battle will begin in thirty seconds. Please take this time to make your preparations." Elysia spoke with clarity and sat down on the bench next to Zach and Jimmy.
At that moment, Zach was utterly disappointed. He saw the winged tigers that once members of his clan had degenerated and become vassals of the fire lions.
Nevertheless, he had prepared for it. He was also ready to deliver his excellent speech and epic entrance. When his daughter group finished 'beating' those doomed four fire lions, especially Ernest and Leigh, of course.
Meanwhile, the eight participants just stood in the middle of their battle area. Some of them started to analyze the battle area then looked at the golden dome barrier. After that, they glanced at the divine beings.
"Haha, what is this? So, the one that will help you in your revenge is this little brown tortoise? Hello, friend, you better get off your back on this revenge bullshit. You've lost from the start, and this is pointless. You're just wasting my precious time." Ernest mocked and insulted his opponent.
"Yeah, even though the strength of all of us is limited to the early-stage Spirit level, don't think you can win against my father. Two Saint-level and two Spirit-level, that's the maximum technique you can use. Give up before we change. mind." Leigh added to make fun of his foe.
"It's impossible for you to win against us, especially our Beast Emperor with your low-tier magic technique. It's only destruction for you to come to challenge us."
"Oops, they might come out of here permanently disabled, who knows, right? As you can see, this is as far as your backing will go even if you have three divine beings as your protector."
The other two fire lions smirked at their opponents. They did that on purpose to make their opponent angry or something like that, focus distraction.
They were already very confident either way, considering this was all under the Beast God's control. Or rather, the continuation and outcome of all this were predictable.
Unfortunately, Vanessa and her group just ignored the fire lions' nonsense and as if everything they heard was nothing more than tiger-shit.
"Excuse me, what are these rosy lions talking about? I don't understand anything, but I seem to know they're insulting me." Gio nudged his senior with his foot.
"Mm, your guess is not wrong, Gio. These fire lions are indeed insulting us. They also have no respect for our master and her Goddess friends. I will destroy these fire lions, including their future. Will you join me for this, junior brother?" Vanessa confirmed without hesitation, in simple beast language, of course.
"They deserve to die! Oh no, that's forbidden by our master. Then, they deserve to suffer permanent disabilities that are worse than death." Gio stomped his foot to the ground in a fury.
Insulting his divine master was a great offense that deserved a gruesome death. Yet, he remembered that he should not kill any opponent in this battle because of his divine master's request translated by his senior.
Vanessa only smiled faintly to remember her father's plan. She just put on an amused expression to the fire lions before her eyes.
These lions were utterly ignorant and had no idea who they were up against. With the help of Gio, she could put everything to good use to achieve absolute victory. Not to mention, her uncle and aunt were also there to make everything run smoothly.
Broadly speaking, these four fire lions were doomed to suffer a deep agony.
