Chapter 533: The Magus’s Triumph
Meanwhile, the emperor’s facial features tensed, and his teeth sank into their gums under his jaw’s pressure. His fist trembled as he watched his once-powerful slave’s last breath rattle in its throat.
The behemoth was a unique specimen in the world. It even signed a non-aggression pact with Zuberi Nyota and had overlooked a part of the continent for millennia.
He had gone to great lengths in his quest to reclaim its lands, subdue, and enslave it a century ago... All for what? To see it die against that foreigner? That cultivator?
The worst part that made his heart bleed and eyes burn in fury? He lost his arms’ transformation and the ability to use the behemoth’s roar now that it died. After all, he didn’t carry the creature’s beating heart everywhere because of some mental illness. No. He needed it as a medium to channel its powers into his body. But now it was gone!
"Lin Yaaaaao," he spat through gritted teeth, his forehead veins bulging as he turned to the raven hiding its face under its feathers in grief. "stand up and fight before I sacrifice your soul to summon a demon!"
"Do it! Marina and Vivian are already watching this shameful battle! I’m sure they’ll remain arms crossed as a demon descends upon the eastern continent, not to mention the magus."
The raven shrieked in response, its eyes spewing fires like two burning torches at the man as its voice thundered.
"The day you enslaved us, I told you you were a fool, and I’ll repeat it today! Did you really believe all along that we were mere beasts? That we established our territories on different continents randomly? Or that we didn’t actively target human cities because of our good hearts when we could drown the world in flames any time we wanted in the past fifteen thousand years? Finally, did you think we guarded your temple as statues and endured this shame instead of committing suicide by pleasure?!"
Lin Yao halted any movement from his position as he heard the creature’s soul-chilling revelations. Adam heard it, too, from his observation spot while the beast emperor’s face sank at the implications.
