Chapter 393: The Divine"s Call
"Hey, look up there. Who is the divine being besides that winged tiger? Is that woman a birdman from the Beastkin Race? Since when did the Winged Tiger Clan have a divine being as their backing? Then, since when did the Beastkin Race have a G.o.ddess!?" A black gorilla pointed upwards with its eyes wide open. He felt that the atmosphere suddenly became tense just because of the divine being"s arrival.
"You have too many questions, monkey. Forget about our visit to this capital city. I did not register to engage in the battle between two great clans and two divine beings. Goodbye!" An elephant slapped his friend"s back and walked away toward the nearest city gate. He wanted to get out of this forest city as soon as possible before it was too late.
"Gori? Oh-hey! I"m a gorilla, hey. Do you really want to go, fellow traveler? You will miss a rare opportunity that you may never see again on another occasion. It"s about the divine being, you know?" The gorilla put his arm around the elephant"s neck to persuade.
"d.a.m.n, I still love my life, and I"m not married yet. I still want to have a wife and family. Who would have thought that the Winged Tiger Clan would take revenge with the help of a divine being!" The elephant brushed his friend"s arm with his trunk.
"That"s a wrong perception. I"m sure the divine wouldn"t involve innocent beasts like us. This forest city has over five thousand Spirit Beasts and above, you know? It"s a bit impossible that this divine being will punish us when she"s just annoyed with the current Emperor.
I fully believe that this will only involve the Winged Tiger Clan and the Pyrogressive Lion Clan. If you want to leave, then it"s your loss. Until we meet again, my friend. I want to join in the commotion and fun! Hyahaha!" The gorilla shrugged his shoulders. He said goodbye, then climbed up the tree and went to find a suitable but safe spot to watch.
The elephant reconsidered his friend"s words, and then he turned around to follow his friend. He thought his friend"s estimation was reasonable. "Hey, I"m coming! Wait for me!"
Meanwhile, Elysia and Vanessa were still floating in the air in the same spot. They stared at most of the beasts in Brisline Woodland staring up. A small commotion and a bit of chaos ensued, panic included, due to the sudden arrival of an unexpected guest.
However, not a single fire lion dared to come out of their hiding palace. In fact, Elysia could see that some of the city"s security systems were running automatically to attack the unwanted intruder.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Swoosh!*
Several kinds of middle-cla.s.s magic were cast by the city"s four protective towers. Elysia smirked at that and just swept her hand lightly in the air.
*Kaboom*
Like an invisible wall, all those useless attacks just exploded without being able to get close to the target.
"Wow, that looks like some pretty great destructive magic. Look, one of those has poison or something like that, which might be lethal. Your invisible wall is eroded, Ely." Elena commented on seeing the level of destruction on the invisible wall.
"Hmm, did the fire lions get scared? They allow the security system to carry out the attack? Well, another one is coming, and I"ll give a countdown for the Beast Emperor named Ernest to come out to see me." Elysia glanced at the giant palace. She then turned her attention to the city"s four protective towers.
"Kaboom, Ely. Cast an explosion and blow them out! Explosion!" Elena played a bit of a joke even though she knew that Elysia wouldn"t blow up the imperial palace.
*Snap*
Elysia simply snapped her fingers lightly and amplified the sound waves to deal ma.s.sive damage to the city"s four protective towers. She didn"t allow those towers to attack her a second time because she would look pathetic.
*Boom!*
The city"s towers collapsed simultaneously.
Meanwhile, all the members of the Pyrogressive Lion Clan were panicking beyond measure. The current Emperor was one of them.
"Idiot! I told you to cancel the city"s automatic security system. Do you want that divine being to think we"re going to fight her? Look at that. The four protective towers have already been torn down even though it"s just launched an opening attack! She only needed a snap of her finger to destroy it, a snap of her finger!" A huge fire lion was furious while pointing outward the room. He scolded all of his subordinates and his family, without exception.
"Calm yourself, my lord. Please look at that divine being one more time. That birdman came with a winged tiger. Do you think this is just a simple visit?" A subordinate lion pointed to the truth.
"Yeah, I"m more worried and curious about what you just did to summon that divine being"s wrath. I"m sure that cunning winged tiger is already planning something and taking advantage of the situation." A lion with a high position shared his understanding of the current situation.
"Emperor Ernest, it seems you need to come to see her before her patience runs out, my lord." An old lion looked outside with some thought in mind.
"So, you all want to say that I just need to go there and get beaten up by that divine being!? She came with a winged tiger. Are you aware of that? That white tiger comes from a lowly clan, our underling, our slave! The Winged Tiger Clan might already be plotting revenge. That"s it! d.a.m.n, why is that six-winged birdman G.o.ddess willing to ally with such low-cla.s.s tigers, grr." Ernest gritted his teeth and gripped the floor until it cracked.
None of them were aware that their conversation had been noticed by the said divine being. Elysia and Elena had been patient enough to wait, but now that waiting time was up.
"Hehe, Ely... Those fire lions refer to you as the six-winged birdman G.o.ddess? What kind of name is that? Well, we"ve been waiting for two minutes. They are presumptuous enough to keep us waiting, fufu..." Elena smiled in amus.e.m.e.nt, but her smile slowly turned into an evil grin.
"Ernest, the current Emperor of the Glaidan Region. If you and your clan don"t come to see me here on the count of ten, then don"t blame me if I blast all of you out of your hiding places.
The extent of the damage will be uncontrollable, and you will be responsible for it. One! Two!" Elysia folded her arms arrogantly. Her voice was transmitted throughout the city, so all beasts could hear her without exception.
"d.a.m.n it! Where"s that coward Beast Emperor!? He wants to make the divine being destroy our city, huh!? My house, all my precious a.s.sets. Oh no..."
"Hahaha! I"ll run far away on the count of five. Quickly find a safe place away from the imperial palace, you mongrel!"
"Praise the Beast G.o.d. Where is he now when we need him the most!? The other divine being has come to cause trouble on the Beast Continent."
"The imperial warrior is already preparing for a big battle. We also need to prepare for trouble and battle!"
"And make it double because there will be another coup, I guess."
An uproar broke out instantly between the thousands of beasts not too far from the imperial palace. Some of them immediately used their best abilities to run away from there. While others pray to the Beast G.o.d or curse the current Beast Emperor.
"Father, I will accompany you to meet that divine being! I believe there is a misunderstanding here. That vile winged tiger is only taking advantage of the situation to ignite the flames of divine fury and slander our clan." The crown prince cried out with urgency.
"No, it"s not just us, but our entire clan will go to meet that divine being as requested. You have no idea how unreasonable a divine being is, Leigh, my son." Ernest patted his son"s head.
Then, he faced the dozens of fire lions and shouted loudly. "To the entire Pyrogressive Lion Clan, listen to my orders! We all go to meet that divine being. Send notice to the imperial warrior to prepare to join the battle if everything goes wrong. I"m sure our ancestor Beast G.o.d will come to our aid if things get out of control and the situation becomes severe."
"Roar!" Dozens of fire lions roared in unison to convey their agreement. Their patriarch had said the order, and they would carry it out with honor.
Unfortunately, they no longer had the privilege to ask the Beast G.o.d for help even though Beast G.o.d himself was their ancestor. Their clan was also descended from the Fiery Blaze Lion Clan, but that was all.
"Roar! We"re leaving." Ernest made wings of fire on his back and flew out toward the divine being in the sky.
Then, the forty-five fire lions immediately followed their Patriarch Emperor to soar into the sky.
"Eight!" Elysia continued her count even though she could already see dozens of fire lions flying closer.
"We, the Pyrogressive Lion Clan, have come at your request, birdman G.o.ddess! So, please stop the count." Ernest announced the arrival of himself and his clan with a shout.
"Is that the kind of att.i.tude you have before a divine being? You can stall for time, and so can I. If you are hoping for the arrival of your Beast G.o.d, then it will be in vain. If I want to inflict divine punishment on you, then no one can save you." Elysia gave a condescending look. She spoke with an overbearing intonation in every word.
