Debbie did not speak loudly, but her words were clear enough for everyone in the backyard to hear. King’s Arsenal, Advancing Human Fortress… The trap the Jores clan leader had so carefully prepared, sending Ye Chui into a deadly part of the Beast Garden to be attacked by a beast swarm, had failed completely. Not only had Ye Chui appeared safely in front of Boslili, but according to Debbie, these magical beast swarms were nothing more than free food deliveries to them.
Are you… are you lot joking!?
The Jores clan leader’s mood sank to rock bottom. Then, at that very moment, everyone saw Ye Chui finish off the last beast after reaching Boslili. The sky screen seemed to fall quiet again. The dense array of strange weapons around Ye Chui withdrew one by one. He gave Boslili a slight smile and said, “Yo, sorry to keep you waiting.”
Then he bent down and started gathering the scattered beast corpses on the ground…
Boslili looked a little embarrassed and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Collecting beast meat, of course. Let me tell you, the meat from these beasts is extraordinarily delicious. This place is a real treasure trove. The food I gathered on the way here will keep our guild fed for months. Guni is definitely going to be over the moon.” Ye Chui happily explained while picking up the chunks of meat.
Below the screen, Guni immediately nodded vigorously at Ye Chui’s words, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the sky.
At that moment, Guni suddenly noticed a girl standing beside her, the dark-skinned Jores family girl who wielded a spiked club. The girl was watching Ye Chui collect beast meat on the screen, swallowing hard and muttering, “So much beast meat…”
When she realised Guni was looking at her, she gave a little humph and carried on drooling at the screen.
A sense of kinship instantly welled up in Guni’s heart. This girl… was the same type as her, someone who could convert food into magical power!
Compared to them, everyone else felt completely different. The Jores clan leader’s face twitched. Ye Chui was actually, truly treating these magical beast swarms as food!!!
Up on the screen, Boslili seemed even more embarrassed. She walked over to Ye Chui and quietly reminded him, “I must point out that this place is visible to the outside world through the Beast Garden’s illusion array. I think everyone out there is currently staring in shock as you collect beast meat…”
Ye Chui’s body stiffened slightly while gathering the meat. Then he turned towards the screen with a beaming smile, waved cheerfully, and called out, “Yo, Clan Leader Jores, thanks for the generous gift! If I had to buy this beast meat with gold coins, it would probably cost tens of thousands, and I might not even be able to get it!”
“…” Hearing these words clearly directed at him, the Jores clan leader swayed and nearly spat blood…
…
Inside the Beast Garden world, Boslili showed a helpless expression at Ye Chui’s words and said faintly, “This is the Beast Garden. I suspect the Jores family will not be happy to let you take all this beast meat away for free.”
“Heh heh, that depends on whether they have the ability to take it from me. Deliberately sending me into a beast tide territory, I still have a score to settle with them. This meat counts as their compensation!” Ye Chui replied with a cold laugh, sounding utterly domineering. Meat that had already reached his mouth, who could snatch it away?
He finished collecting the beast meat and magic crystals, shook himself, stood up, looked at Boslili, and smiled. “So, shall we begin?”
“Don’t you need a rest? That spell just now, well, I’m not sure it counts as a spell, must have used a lot of your magic power, right?” Boslili asked fairly.
“Magic consumption was indeed quite high…” Ye Chui glanced at the remaining magic on his iPad grimoire. More than half was gone. Although the King’s Arsenal was powerful, every attack from those magical weapons relied on his own magic power. The drain was enormous. He already felt somewhat tired, so he suggested, “How about we take a short break and eat something? Let me tell you, my roasted beast meat is fantastic. You’re in for a treat today.” With that, Ye Chui started preparing.
The crowd watching from the outside world: “…”
Wasn’t this supposed to be a duel to the death? Why are you treating it like a sightseeing trip complete with gourmet temptations? Hurry up and start already! Don’t you know we’ve been waiting here since early morning without even eating breakfast!?
At that exact moment, a shrill, mournful screech suddenly rang out. Both Ye Chui and Boslili shivered slightly and looked towards the distant sky.
The outside audience could not see what they saw, but the Jores clan leader recognised something from the cry.
“It’s a Bone-Winged Beast! Ye Chui was teleported into Bone-Winged Beast territory. He just killed the beasts under its command, and now it’s coming for revenge! The Bone-Winged Beast is a rank-six magical beast. Its bone armour is incredibly hard; it can withstand a full blow from a Great Swordsman! There are now only five… no, four rank-six magical beasts left in the Beast Garden! It is extremely ferocious!”
A vicious glint appeared in the clan leader’s angry, depressed eyes as he hurriedly explained.
Originally there had been five rank-six beasts in the garden, but the Water Serpent had previously been sent to the Anduin family’s hot-spring villa, where Ye Chui’s group had quietly killed it. Later, Huo Yin, Yage, and Dani had roasted and eaten it… Now only four rank-six beasts remained.
Among them, the Bone-Winged Beast was the most savage.
It was the most terrifying magical beast after the Beast God itself!
Ye Chui and Boslili looked up at the sky. Boslili appeared somewhat solemn and prepared to cast her spell, but Ye Chui reached out to stop her.
“Let me handle it.” With those words, dense wormhole portals appeared around him once more. King’s Arsenal activated. Magical weapons extended from the portals, aimed at the sky. “Boom boom boom boom—” Blasts of fire erupted, forming a pillar of light that shot towards a point in the air.
Everyone stared in astonishment. They saw the Bone-Winged Beast in the sky. It was a flying magical beast covered in external skeleton like armour. Its wings were entirely made of white bones, terrifying in appearance. In some parts of the continent, this beast was even called a bone dragon, said to be born from the endless sea of bones in the underworld.
On the screen, the Bone-Winged Beast was only a small white dot. Ye Chui’s barrage targeted that dot. The dot dove down through the firelight. Its form grew larger and clearer. Its incredibly hard bone armour withstood Ye Chui’s fearsome bombardment while it emitted continuous shrill cries.
However… it was clearly struggling to resist. Just as its massive, hideous body was about to reach Ye Chui and Boslili, it could no longer endure. Its once-impenetrable bone armour was now heavily damaged. It suddenly flapped its enormous bony wings, twisted around, and, too frightened to continue the dive, fled for its life, shrieking as it raced into the distance…
The Bone-Winged Beast actually fled!
The crowd was shocked, but what shocked them even more was.
“Think you can escape? Can you really escape?”
Ye Chui stopped firing. The countless wormholes around him vanished, then converged above his head into one enormous portal. From it extended a thick, massive cannon barrel.
Seeing that barrel, the Third Prince and Fifth Prince instinctively paled and even looked as though they wanted to duck for cover. They recognised it. It was the launch device for the “World Leveller” from the flying magical construct!
Ye Chui’s flying construct required enormous magic power to operate. At least ten people with A-rank reserves were needed to power flight. Ye Chui alone could not make it fly. However, he could use parts of it, such as its offensive capability, to fire a World Leveller missile.
Using the King’s Arsenal, Ye Chui could summon the weapon launch system of the flying construct and release a World Leveller missile.
Boom.
With an explosion of fire above Ye Chui’s head, a strange magical missile shot out, spiralling rapidly towards the distant Bone-Winged Beast in the sky. The beast had once again become a tiny white dot, yet Ye Chui’s missile struck it accurately. A muffled boom rang out, so loud it seemed to deafen even through the screen.
In the area where Ye Chui and Boslili stood, a fierce wind suddenly rose. Hot waves swept over them. Boslili had already erected an ice wall, and the two sheltered behind it.
The audience was once again dumbfounded, jaws dropped.
Behind the ice wall, Ye Chui suddenly vanished. It was teleportation, no, an even more advanced form of spatial transfer magic. Before entering the Beast Garden, when the black-clothed man had attacked him, the fire-dragon devouring spell had frozen the surrounding space. Even teleportation could not escape the dragon’s strike, yet Ye Chui had still successfully transferred away. It was a superior spatial transfer spell.
It was a space-time transfer spell Ye Chui had comprehended from Naruto over the past three days, spending a huge number of points!
Now Ye Chui used it again. He instantly disappeared from Boslili’s side. When he reappeared, he was dragging the massive, broken, half-cooked body of the magical beast, smoke billowing. Even through the screen, one could almost smell the fragrance wafting from that half carcass.
“This Bone-Winged Beast really does have tough skin. It took a direct World Leveller missile and wasn’t reduced to ash. Hmm, but it’s nicely roasted now. Just sprinkle some salt and it’s ready to eat. Boslili, yo, fancy a piece?” Ye Chui marvelled beside the enormous corpse.
Boslili: “…A little less salt, please. I prefer lighter flavours.”
