Kaemi couldn't help but feel uneasy. He had already summoned his mount and unleashed the power of a Platinum Knight. Yet, the people in front of him still hadn't moved?
Were the citizens of this Holy City truly so fearless?
They were standing before a Platinum Knight as if they didn't see him at all, completely ignoring his presence.
"I'll see what gives you the audacity to ignore !" Kaemi snorted coldly, preparing to command his mount to attack.
"An eighth-rank magical beast? ylan, it looks like we'll be adding sothing to the nu tonight." Sylvus said with a casual glance at the three-ter-tall Ironback Beast outside.
"Got it, boss!" ylan's eyes lit up.
He had recognized the creature as an **Ironback Beast**, a beast of the eighth rank. He had never tasted at from such a beast before, and now it was his chance to try.
"Boss, let handle it, but what's for dinner?" asked Corvin with a grin, standing beside Sylvus.
Sylvus glanced at him. Given Corvin's strength, he couldn't possibly defeat an eighth-rank magical beast by himself. But fortunately, Corvin had **Wings of the Sky Tiger**.
The **Wings of the Sky Tiger** was also an eighth-rank beast, and its strength was on par with the Ironback Beast.
"That's fine. Corvin, you assist ylan. Let's finish this quickly; it's going to take a while to cook the at from an eighth-rank magical beast," Sylvus said with a smile.
ylan nodded and prepared himself, while Corvin turned to look at the Wings of the Sky Tiger perched on his shoulder.
"Little Tiger, tonight's feast depends on you," Corvin laughed.
The Wings of the Sky Tiger let out a low growl, and the laziness in its eyes vanished, replaced by a fierce glint. In an instant, it darted toward the Ironback Beast outside.
At the sa ti, Kaemi coldly commanded, "Ironback Beast, destroy that shop!"
The Ironback Beast roared and charged down the alley, its massive three-ter-tall body aiming to demolish the shop.
With the strength of an eighth-rank beast, a single strike could level everything in its path.
But then, a barrier suddenly appeared, and in the next mont, the charging Ironback Beast stopped midair.
"What... what's happening?" Kaemi was shocked by the sudden turn of events.
Even Prince Mondo's eyes narrowed in disbelief.
From the alley, a streak of light shot out.
In the blink of an eye, an even more powerful aura filled the air.
Kaemi and Mondo watched as a **tiny cat**, no larger than the size of a palm, flew out of the shop.
But before they could react, the "small cat" grew. By the ti it reached the Ironback Beast, it had transford into a two-ter-tall tiger with massive wings.
The Wings of the Sky Tiger looked at the immobilized Ironback Beast, and a mocking glint flashed in its eyes as if taunting its powerless opponent.
Then, with a mighty swipe, its claws tore into the Ironback Beast.
The Ironback Beast, known for its strength and defense, now bore a deep, bone-exposing gash on its body.
"No! Ironback Beast, return to !" Kaemi shouted in panic.
He desperately tried to summon his mount back using his magic, but the space around them had been sealed.
All Kaemi could do was watch as his mount was rcilessly attacked by the Wings of the Sky Tiger.
With a roar, the tiger bit down on the Ironback Beast's neck. A fountain of blood spurted out as it tore the beast's throat.
Within monts, the sound of flesh tearing echoed, and the Ironback Beast's head was ripped off.
As the headless body of the Ironback Beast collapsed, Kaemi let out a pained scream. He spat blood, and his aura weakened significantly.
This was the consequence of a traditional contract with a magical beast. When the beast died, its master lost a significant portion of their own life force.
Compared to Corvin's blood-pact contract with his beast, Kaemi's was on a much lower level.
With a gesture from ylan, the body of the Ironback Beast disappeared as he stored it away.
"Kaemi, are you alright?" Prince Mondo asked urgently, his heart racing with shock.
Kaemi was a Platinum Knight, with an eighth-rank beast at his command. Yet, they hadn't even seen their enemy and were already defeated to such an extent.
Who was this person they were dealing with?
"Your Highness, we need to leave now. There's a spatial mage here, and their level is very high," Kaemi said, suppressing his anger.
He was still thinking clearly. If he died, it wouldn't matter. But if the prince died, he would be rembered as the greatest traitor to the dwarven people.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in their ears.
ylan appeared before them, grinning coldly at the pair.
ylan hadn't expected the troublemakers to be dwarves. In the past, he would have avoided conflict with dwarves, a powerful race known for their strength.
But things were different now.
His boss wasn't afraid of even the elves. If he feared a few dwarves, he wouldn't be worthy of working for Sylvus.
As long as his boss had his back, he had nothing to fear.
The surrounding onlookers, witnessing the scene, couldn't believe their eyes.
"Wow! Who has the guts to ss with Sylvus's shop? They're asking for death!"
"That's ylan, the shop assistant. He's a Magus Emperor and a spatial mage!"
"I saw Sylvus destroy the second prince of the Bork Empire. Even the emperor didn't dare to do anything about it, and now soone else is trying their luck?"
"I never knew Sylvus had a mount. That tiger looks like an eighth-rank beast from the Magical Beast Mountains, the Wings of the Sky Tiger."
"I can't believe it. Not only is Sylvus's assistant a Magus Emperor, but he also has an eighth-rank magical beast as a mount. Yet people still dare to challenge him."
As the crowd murmured amongst themselves, Mondo and Kaemi exchanged panicked looks.
ylan, a spatial mage of Emperor level? And Sylvus, the owner of this shop, had an eighth-rank beast?
Now they finally understood why neither the elves nor the dwarves had dared to provoke this shop.
The realization hit them hard, and they almost fainted on the spot from shock.
