"They're a rebelion group, but I didn't see any lions there. They're not associated with the lionkin or the lion beast race, right?" Sylvia asked in wonder.
"No lions there, I guess. Lions belong to the noble race, and they already have power. They have no interest in this stupid thing, especially since the Beast God himself is a divine lion." Theo, the brown cat, shook his head. His wife annoyingly agreed.
"..." Vanessa felt a little gloomy as she didn't feel good whenever discussing lions.
"Oh, the seal is cracked and a hole is created. So smaller monsters are coming out and the bigger ones are coming soon." Lifa could see the sealed area by the lake would collapse in a few minutes.
"Fufu, let's see what happens next~" Luna covered her mouth with her folding fan.
*Rumble* *Rumble*
The ground shook, and an earthquake shook the lakeside region. The beastkins of the combined forces were imdiately on alert and ready to activate the anti-curse chanism, prepared to engage in a fierce battle.
*Boom!*
An explosion occurred on the shore of the lake, sending a significant surge of water into the air. Several terrifying dark monsters leapt out of the water, and hundreds of tentacles of a huge underwater creature soon surfaced.
"Grr!" The accursed monsters were hungry, and their freedom was welcod by many fresh and delicious living creatures.
"What marvelous beasts! They are lakewater shadow beastkin, our fellow beastkin!" The weasel beastkin ca forward and voiced its admiration.
"What a poor fellow. You only ca to get recognition and a place to live, but so of our race think of you as mindless monsters. But all will be well now. We are the shadow beast's liberation army and have prepared a large land on the southwest island for your race to live in. It's an island of lush rainforest with a lot of vegetation and food." The leader and the representative of the rebellion force expressed their group's goals with reassurance.
"..." The accursed monsters were silent for a mont as they had no idea what the fresh at was saying.
They were the mid-tier and low-tier accursed creatures. They couldn't understand Vrelenia's language like what high-tier ones could achieve. All they could understand was their food just talking, which wouldn't change anything.
"Hey, you're a group of savages. Look, the shadow beasts can understand what we're saying. We can make peace with them if we talk nicely. They just need a place and food, nothing else." The weasel beastkin smirked arrogantly just because the so-called monsters went silent when he spoke.
He seed to get an agreent and a hunch that he could recruit these powerful curse-bearing shadow beasts to their sides.
The rebellion forces would form a new nation in the new land and be recognised as a great empire soon.
His power and ambitious goals made the beastkin ferret feel that his words had power and weight. Thus, he walked closer to the shadow beasts to hear their response.
Seeing their leader's action, the others beastkins from the rebellion force soon followed to approach the accursed creatures.
"He's lost his mind."
"They are a bunch of beastkin that can't be saved."
The beastkin warriors muttered in a sympathetic tone but remained in formation. Several anti-curse chanisms were activated, and they were ready for battle.
"Yeah, you're good shadow beasts. We're going to build a new kingdom for all of us. We're going to give you space and food. In exchange, we want you to lend us your power." The weasel beastkin smiled broadly as he got so close to the calm monster.
Yet, the ground suddenly churned once again. An earthquake shook the land, and a giant black-scaled octopus monster surfaced.
The giant monster stared at the approaching beastkins and the well-armored ones. The forr was a group of easy prey, and the latter was a group of slightly more challenging targets.
The choice was clear, and the giant black-scaled octopus instantly drew its sharp-scaled tentacles at the approaching beastkins.
*Stab*
The movents were so fast, and the beastkins didn't have ti to evade or respond.
"Eh?" The weasel beastkin felt like sothing had just been stabbed in the stomach.
He looked down and found that a tentacle with black scales had pierced his stomach. Blood was pouring out, and the internal injuries sustained were fatal.
It also stabbed into several beastkins behind him. Yet, the pain never ca as the paralytic poison had already taken effect. The prey had no chance to escape the predator's entrapnt.
"Be grateful, lowly creatures. I will make you my first food after being sealed for so long." The giant black-scaled octopus spoke in a deep hoarse voice. It then brought the beastkins impaled on its tentacles closer to its mouth.
A large mouth with rows of large, spirally layered sharp teeth, wide open.
"No, no, no!"
"Argh!"
"We're trying to save you!"
"Monster!"
The beastkins could feel the terror creeping from their toes to their crowns. There was no pain, but fear was confird. Unfortunately, their decision to borrow the power of the accursed ended in tragedy.
They promised to give place and food to the accursed, but they beca the food in question instead. The giant black scaly octopus gobbled the screaming beastkins as if it was its barbeque feast.
The so-called shadow beast's rebellion force faced their deaths aninglessly and received nothing but regrets.
"Roar!" The surrounding accursed creatures were no longer concerned about what their food had to say. They were hungry and soon attacked the fresh living creatures around them.
Screams full of agony and despair soon broke out.
"Do we need to help them?"
"No, stay in formation! We will fight according to plan."
"Let the idiots die silly. We have a duty to carry."
"They will co to us soon, and we must not lose!"
The brave beastkin warriors prepared their weapons. So soon took out their arrows and advanced weapons.
*Fwiu* *Bam* *Bang*
Various long-range weapons were fired at the giant black-scaled octopus to draw its attention to the anti-curse field.
"Roar!" The giant black-scaled octopus was annoyed when its feast was interrupted by an impatient food group. It soon moved towards the well-armored beastkins.
"Sigh... I didn't have ti to watch this. The show is over and your goal has been achieved, Luna. Let so live to share the tale." Elena sighed and raised her hand.
She pulled a small teor from the outside world's atmosphere and imdiately brought it down to the ground.
*Swoosh!*
A house-sized teor flew down at an impressive speed. It only took a few seconds to get to the lake.
"!?" The beastkins were wide-eyed, shocked to see a giant flint streaking towards them.
The leaders soon ordered all troops into a defensive formation. They could fight against the humongous monsters, but they would be reduced to dust if hit by that teor from outer space!
*Boom!*
A violent explosion hit the lake, destroying the area within a one-kiloter radius. The poor beastkin warriors were blown into the air, but the giant black-scaled octopus received a direct hit.
Its robust body decreased the fatal damage, but the impact was beyond severe. The giant accursed creatures on the lake soon crumbled beneath the black teor, obliterating them into a puff of black cursed smoke.
Elena then moved her hands in a simple movent. She divided the black teor into several small pieces, then made it fly like bullets that spread throughout the forest, eradicating the surviving accursed creatures without leaving anything behind.
After that, she only looked at the situation down there as a whole. She had no rcy and eliminated everything in the shortest possible ti. The previously beautiful lake had turned into a vast hot lava crater, and the surrounding forest had been razed to the ground.
The curse smoke soon shot into the sky, attacking the culprit who caused the accursed's death. However, Elena burned the curse and absorbed the pure energy in response.
"There's no Ruvoid God's avatar here. We're leaving now. I need to prepare myself for our next encounter. At that ti, I'll have them horribly destroyed." Elena turned around, ignoring everyone who gaped in shock at her action.
"Well, let so rebels run away to share the terror tale. They won't be causing any more trouble." Luna gulped her saliva. She didn't think it would be challenging for a high Goddess to eliminate a group of accursed creatures.
"..." Elena didn't respond and brought everyone back to Evroria Palace.
Her current problem was dealing with the Ruvoid God's avatars before the real ones were freed. Therefore, she borrowed a room from Luna to rearrange her thoughts.
Rhea, Lifa, and Nell also entered the room because they couldn't leave Elena alone in such a bad mood.
"Uhm, it seems the Goddess of Light's is in a bad mood." Luna wiped her sweat.
"Her beloved disciple was targeted and injured. She was quite depressed from the fear of losing. Trust , she will no longer care about the world if sothing happens to her disciple. Let her calm herself down first. She had kept her patience until that mont of tragedy." Fortuna heaved a subtle sigh.
"Xentia had thought about this before, but why is the Ruvoid God aiming for Goddess Ely? I heard that the Ruvoid God who fled to Earth did too." Xentia felt a bit anxious and worried.
"That's because Goddess Ely and her master are enemies of the curse. Master Ely is more fragile than her master, and that's why she is targeted. I'm worried if the last two Ruvoid Gods also have foresight abilities like Luna, Lynn, and Fortuna." Yuuki muttered softly.
"..." The girls fell silent. They had similar thoughts about that statent.
