Chapter 725: Beast God Entered the BattleField (3)
"Grr..." Regulus growled as he flew a few meters away from Elysia's group. He had no other choice but to agree, but with the condition that he must be released from the humiliating golden cocoon first.
Of course, Elysia complied with the request without hesitation.
"Fiery Blaze Lion Clan, huh... Fire lion with wings. They look like red devils in the Underworld but are fatter and walk on four legs. The Beast God's clan lives in the sacred mountains north of the capital, Scarheim Tops." Sylvia folded her arms and nodded at her own statement.
"Yeah, it's a clan consisting of many powerful fire lions. However, they are too lofty and don't involve themselves much in world affairs, including critical moments such as the threat of accursed creatures. They even have branch clans." Vanessa looked back and looked back at the front. Those fire lions were an eyesore for her, and they were present on her blacklist.
"Wait, are all of those young lions that fatty's offsprings? And he also has several branch clans? Did he create a powerful army by mass-producing lion cubs? How many wives does he have now? Holy devil, no wonder he likes to be lazy around and just ordered the others to do the work for him." Sylvia covered her mouth and whispered while pointing at the young lions at the lower altitude.
"According to the news we have, the Beast God has two hundred and twenty-three wives. The lioness right behind him is his youngest wife and his favorite." Lynn joined in on the gossip.
"Oh, dear... Two hundred and twenty-three!? His dearest wife? Hmm, if the fire lions consist of his offspring, then... Oh my, he married his own offspring!?" Sylvia widened her eyes when she realized that shocking fact.
"They are beasts. What do you expect? One thing that irritates me is that he calls Senior Sister Vann a filthy beastkin. He has hatred toward the Beastkin Race. Please be careful." Yuuki emphasized her last sentence.
"En, you're right, Yuuki." Lynn nodded in understanding.
"We're almost at the sealed area that's about to collapse. We'll only be fighting in the battleground without needing to use any high-level destructive techniques. We should give the limelight to the Beast God in this event." Oceanid told his plan to everyone in his group. He then rubbed his hands and muttered under his breath. "I'll drag him to join us for a lot of work, hehe."
"You sound like a villain, Sea God." Elysia shook her head.
"I'm not as good as you and your master, Elysia. You can quickly get his hate on your first meeting, and your master scares him. As for me, I just make him angry." Oceanid smirked meaningfully.
"Then, I am in danger. His revenge will be terrible." Elysia muttered in a half-hearted tone. She was not scared in the slightest.
"You don't need to worry. He often says that when he's upset. Maybe hundreds of entities have already entered his hate list if you count. However, he's too lazy to take revenge and forgets his anger over time." Rhea patted Elysia's back gently to let her know the support was always there.
"Fufu, I doubt he dared to do something funny to you. What you did just now was proper. See, he's going to enter the battlefield like a submissive cat? Was your master the one who came up with the idea?" Lifa giggled in amusement.
"..." Elysia decided not to answer and just smiled faintly.
"We have arrived. Time to land. You, please bless our group with many buffs and blessings." Oceanid sent his request to Nell as if it were an order. He then raised his hand to the girls. "Remember, we don't act flashy. I'll make the Beast God do a lot of work."
"Where are your manners? Please use my title instead of just 'you'." Nell pursed her lips and folded her arms.
"Mkay~" Sylvia saluted, but she suddenly had a brilliant idea. "Hm, let's play something like tower defense instead. Those monsters will attack us, and we shouldn't let any of them get close to Ely. Ely won't fight, but we'll protect her. Whoever exterminates the most monsters is the winner and deserves a present."
"That's a great idea. My credit goes in." Lynn didn't mind joining in on the little game.
"Let's do it." Yuuki agreed, and Vanessa just nodded in agreement.
"That sounds interesting." Evelyn joined the game.
"..." Ella looked at the Goddess of Blessings and received a nod in reply. Therefore, she quietly participated in that game because the two Goddesses would remain by Elysia's side.
"All of you... What kind of reward would you like to place in that game?" Elysia scratched her cheek with her finger. She felt a little helpless when her friends decided on such a game.
"Hehe, it's not something that makes it difficult for you, Ely. The winner can request a simple thing from you. You can refuse or ask the winner to change the request. How about it, Ely? It's an easy and hassle-free thing, right?" Sylvia grabbed Elysia's hand for permission with a look full of expectations.
"Uhm, fine. But, please be careful and ensure your safety. This is still the battlefield against accursed creatures." Elysia nodded in agreement and looked at her friends with a concerned gaze.
"Yay! That's for sure." Sylvia was delighted and immediately formed a vanguard group in charge of protecting Elysia.
"They looked so enthusiastic. Even Gio took part in the game. Sylvia became the most excited, as if she already knew she would be the winner. Let's see who will win, fufu~" Lifa chuckled lightly and covered her mouth with her hand.
Meanwhile, the troops consisting of dozens of armored Spirit Beasts and hundreds of powerful, intelligent beasts looked up simultaneously when they saw dozens of shadows above them.
"That winged fire lion... It's the almighty Beast God and his Fiery Blaze Lion Clan! They have graced their noble presences before us! They will exterminate that evil monster with us!?"
"It will be an easy battle."
"Those cursed monsters will be wiped out in an instant just because of the breath of fire from the Beast God!"
"Ooh!"
"Roar!"
"All hail Beast God! Long live Fiery Blaze Lion!"
Excited cries from around a thousand beasts enlivened the atmosphere. They felt thrilled, proud, and honored to meet the Beast God here, especially fighting alongside their almighty God!
Elysia's group landed a few meters from the commotion to prepare for action. They purposely disguised their existence with magic to not attract the beasts' attention because the spotlight would be on Regulus.
Regulus rolled his eyes at the sight of Elysia's group. They were just using cheap disguise magic, and the beasts weren't aware of their presence. Not to mention, he's here because who would have thought that human girls were so annoying. He then sighed at the excited shouts of the roughly a thousand powerful beasts below.
"Silence!" Regulus's command echoed like a majestic roar.
The beasts instantly shut their mouths because their God had spoken.
"You are a combined force ordered to guard this place. However, this sealed area will collapse in a few minutes. Don't get too excited because the real battle is about to ensue. All of you, prepare to fight right now!" Regulus ordered the beasts with a firm roar.
"Your wish is our command, O almighty Beast God!" A giant salamander stood on both feet to salute. The other beasts then immediately responded with an agreement.
They immediately prepared a close-range defensive battle alert. And most importantly, they put their strongest team around anti-curse mechanisms as vanguards.
*Rumble* *Rumble*
The ground shook, and cracks spread out in various directions like a spider's web. A mini shrine right at the epicenter of the earthquake cracked and collapsed into rubble in just two seconds.
At the same time, a bluish light burst out from under the ground, followed by a thick and dense billow of purplish-black smoke.
"Like what the Beast God said, this sealed area has collapsed! Exterminate all those monsters for our forest and our land!" The salamander raised his saber and shouted his war cry.
"O-oh!" The other beasts raised their weapons and shouted loudly as well.
Sometime later, the ground collapsed, leaving a giant hole filled with thousands of nasty black slimy maggots. They wriggled and crept up the hole.
"Maggots!?"
"A giant disgusting insect!?"
"Hory shit!"
"Captain Hanz, bring the flamethrowers and explosives immediately!"
Exclamations of shock and disgust came from the beasts. They were mighty warriors, ready for an epic battle. Yet, they couldn't help but need to prepare for an irritating struggle.
A giant elephant came forward carrying a large bag of dangerous explosives on his back and a dozen flamethrowers in his trunk. "Here's the flamethrowers and the explosives! What do you want me to do with this?"
"Burn them to ashes! Don't use magic, just rely on the flammable gas and explosives first." The captain salamander took the flamethrowers and distributed them to his subordinates.
They immediately shot jets of flames into the giant pit. Several explosives were thrown in there to maximize the damage to their opponent.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
A series of explosions after explosions shook the ground and sent several giant black maggots flying into the air. Surprisingly, those maggots were fireproof. They came out to the surface as fire-cursed maggots now.
"Prepare your weapons and our follow-up attacks. They survived our opening attack. The Beast God is with us! Attack!" The salamander was the first to draw his saber into the nearby giant maggot.
He split that monster into dozens of pieces with just one slash. However, that giant maggot broke into tiny maggots because of that attack.
"Beast God is with us!" The other powerful beasts immediately followed in their leader's footsteps. They began attacking the giant maggots with various kinds of physical attacks.
"Alright, they're here now. Dozens of casualties would fall if those beasts bombarded their enemies with just direct confrontation like that. Hm, let's make a little unexpected mistake for him then." Oceanid smirked and entered the battlefield with his divine trident.
"Let's start the game, everyone. Those cursed monsters are just weak maggots, but there are thousands of them!" Sylvia brandished her spear.
