Chapter 728: Can't Stand Space-Related Stuff
The entire battle was over. No more giant maggots could be seen anywhere. They successfully annihilated without a trace, without causing any casualties or leaving the warriors with curses.
"..." The beasts didn't know what to say. The third-party group was sitting leisurely near a shady tree on the outer edge of the battlefield.
Those girls held a picnic to rest and unwind even when the battle wasn't over yet. That group contributed far more than any beast in this glorious battle. Not to mention, those girls were powerful, and a Goddess was present among them. Therefore, the beasts couldn't complain regardless of their dissatisfaction with beastkin.
"Hahaha, are you angry? Are you feeling dissatisfied and want to repay me?" Oceanid mocked Regulus with an annoying laugh.
"You, Sea damn God. I will tear you to pieces!" Regulus growled in anger and irritation after what had just happened throughout the battle.
"Too bad you won't be able to do it because I am the embodiment of water. Your fire can't do anything to me either, while I can put out your fire, wet cat..." Oceanid dodged Regulus nimbly.
"My divine fire can vaporize you and turn you from a Sea God to a Vapor God!" Regulus tried to burn Oceanid with his divine fire breath, but it didn't hit his target. Because of that, he drained himself of the annoying liquid first before hunting down Oceanid.
"..." The fire lions and beasts were stunned and speechless. It was like a fight between fire and water, two Gods who didn't get along with their complicated affairs.
Neither of them dared to interfere or mediate because they could die at any moment just for trying to meddle.
"Then we can settle things on our next battlefield." Oceanid proposed with a sly smile.
"You're trying to buy time? Fine, state the place and time. I'll vaporize you mercilessly." Regulus was consumed by anger and immediately agreed. He didn't realize that he had entered the other person's game.
"Good, then please tell your family members to return to their den, and you will come with us to the Devil Continent. We have over a hundred sealed areas to clear before three months." Oceanid pointed his hand at the fire lions.
"Wait, what? Why do I have to come with you for all those troublesome things?" Regulus frowned. His fire gradually went out as he noticed the strangeness.
"You've said your agreement now. Are you going to go back on your words by denying it?" Oceanid put his divine trident back into his chest and smirked as if he was a winner.
"You tricked me!? Whatever it is, I will still burn you on the next battlefield!" Regulus clicked his tongue and went to his clan. He was consumed by anger, but he couldn't get the upper hand against Oceanid. Therefore, he would wait for the right opportunity on the next battlefield to take revenge.
The Beast God had almost forgotten that he was annoyed with Elysia because his primary target was only the Sea God, who was annoying.
"Haha, we'll be leaving in a bit. Don't run away, or your title will officially change from Beast God to Coward God." Oceanid reminded in a loud voice.
"You are so noisy. Do you think my noble self would go back on my word?" Regulus responded without looking back.
"Good then." Oceanid flew away towards the Elysia group. His small scheme ended satisfactorily, and his goal was accomplished.
"Fufu, you did it on purpose, right? You incited and led him into your game. However, please be careful because he seems so angry and annoyed with you for what you just did to him." Lifa covered her mouth with her hand.
"I need to do it, so he doesn't come back lazing around. It sucks to see him not contributing anything." Oceanid sat cross-legged and grabbed the nearby snacks. He swallowed them whole, leaving only the empty glasses and plates.
"Very well..." Lifa just smiled without saying anything else.
"Hehe, those beasts don't dare insult us anymore because we are beastkins. They don't know who we really are. Is this what my mother meant by exciting things?" Lynn asked in wonder as she gazed at the beasts leaving the battlefield.
"Yeah, we get to see how Beast God has his hard time, which is ridiculous and hilarious. Then, hmm... Your mother also wants to flaunt to the world that her daughter is part of our group, right? She claimed Ely as her foster daughter too. I'm sure some of those beasts know your true identity, Soul Fox Princess." Sylvia stroked her chin in deep comprehension.
"That seems to be true... Sorry to bother you because of my mother, Ely. My mother didn't plan anything funny for you at all. She was afraid to leave any bad impression on you." Lynn suddenly noticed the change in Elysia's expression, and she felt worried.
"???" Elysia didn't know why Lynn suddenly apologized. She was just talking to Elena about Regulus and the beasts. It seemed that this fox princess had misinterpreted something from her expression.
'Fufu, she cares for you so much, Ely. Even if you only have a subtle change in expression, she can notice it quickly.' Elena chuckled in amusement.
'She just misunderstood the topic of their conversation just now…' Elysia heaved a subtle sigh and shook her head. "It's okay, Lynn. I didn't think that much about Empress Luna."
"You no longer call Luna honorific Madam or Aunt again, master?" Vanessa asked curiously.
"Uhm, we're basically sisters even if it's just a formality... How about mother?" Lynn touched her fingers together.
"No." Elysia flatly refused. Her smile faded from her pretty face, much to Lynn's surprise.
Vanessa nudged Lynn and shook her head. She was aware of several things about her master's past, and her master's family was no longer alive. Therefore, no one was allowed to use that title.
Lynn blinked in confusion at Vanessa's implied intent. Still, she was sensitive enough to realize that she had to apologize, and she did right away.
A few moments later, the beasts and fire lions left the vicinity. Only the Beast God was left behind. He had no other choice but to go to the next battlefield because he had already said his agreement.
"Phew, I'm lucky I could break things off to my favor. That damned Sea God shall pay a heavy price for daring to incite my wrath." Regulus mumbled, relieved but annoyed, as he gazed at his family members in the distant sky.
"Beast God, what took you there so long? We'll be leaving by teleporting right now!" Oceanid raised his hand high and shouted.
"Teleport? Where are we going?" Regulus frowned and walked over.
"We will go to the Human Continent by teleportation, then to the Devil Continent via the super-fast air route." Elysia answered kindly.
"Humans and Devil Continent... But teleportation? They can afford to use it regardless of their weakened state?" Regulus muttered under his breath. It was as if he was already tired just because the two continents were mentioned as their destinations. He already wanted to go home, but he needed to teach this Sea God a few lessons first.
'Okay, let's do this experiment. A teleportation technique without direct contact. An area of effect teleportation controlled by my will.' Elysia rubbed her hands together and prepared to perform teleportation.
'Just don't get nervous, and things will work out your way, Ely.' Elena gave a piece of kind suggestion.
Elysia closed her eyes and concentrated on detecting her marker in the Holy City, the Human Continent. When she found the coordinates of her destination, she activated her advanced perception to wrap everyone in her magic.
A magic circle appeared on the ground and expanded to cover everyone.
*Poof*
Everyone disappeared from the southern forest on the Beast Continent in just a blink.
"Aaah!!!" Regulus shouted in surprise. It was such a thrilling ride, and he still didn't like that instant space jump, no matter then or now.
"Why are you screaming like a pussy cat? We are in the middle of the human's holy city. You are a fire lion as big as a house. Do you want the humans to hunt you down?" Oceanid smacked Regulus in the head.
"What? That shitty teleportation makes me sick... I just had breakfast. Bleurgh!" Regulus spit out several liters of reddish-green vomit at Oceanid.
Sylvia and the girls were shocked. Vanessa swiftly pulled her master to avoid the Beast God's vomit.
"Ew! Your vomit smells fishy and is really disgusting. Luckily, we managed to dodge. Phew..." Sylvia wiped her non-existent sweat. But, she suddenly noticed there was the unlucky one. "Pfft."
"Hm? Thank you, Vann." Elysia just opened her eyes and didn't know what to say at sight before her eyes. The current Oceanid resembled a stinky reddish-green mud monster.
"En." Vanessa nodded her head with a beaming smile.
"Be thankful that Ely covered us with invisible magic. So, this embarrassing incident is only known among us, hehe..." Nell laughed in amusement.
"Is this your revenge? I didn't expect it to be such a disgusting surprise attack..." Oceanid waved his hand, and the vomit liquid fell from his body. Several water strings continue to flow around his body to clean the remnants of foreign substances.
"Oh my, I forgot that you can't stand space-related stuff. My apologies. I forgot to remind Ely about that. But, who would have thought the almighty lion still has his past weakness without any improvement." Lifa covered her mouth with a surprised intonation.
"Damn you. I've trained myself to be immune to space-related stuff's backlash, but this one is truly beyond my expectations. Whatever, I need to drink some water now." Regulus walked away leisurely towards the nearby river. He stepped out of Elysia's invisible zone as if he didn't care.
"A gigantic beast suddenly appeared near the Holy Cathedral! Whose pet is that!?"
"A contracted beast that went out of control? Where is its master?"
"The intruder from the Beast Race!?"
"A surprise attack!?"
"With such a huge body, how could that giant red lion appear here all of a sudden?"
The holy knights were alerted at once because of a giant red lion's sudden appearance near the Serene River. They cried out in surprise and stood guard around the big red lion, ready to draw their holy swords if needed.
The corner of Regulus's lips twitched as the word 'pet' was mentioned. How can those moron monkeys equate his noble self, the Almighty Beast God, with a pet?
Despite everything, he didn't really care if he was surrounded by those golden armored weak monkeys. He needed to drink a lot of water to get rid of the bitter taste in his throat.
