Chapter 403: Battle Outcome
As Leigh screamed in pain with so many cursing but agonizing mumblings, Ernest became the most furious of all. Whatever it was, he was forced to watch his only son castrated right in front of him. It was his sole descendant, the crown prince! He was a Beast Emperor, and he was being toyed with in this battle?
"How dare you, how dare you! You are nothing more than a weak winged tiger. Graa!" Ernest went berserk. His eyes reddened, and he roared like a beast who only understood one word in his mind, destruction.
"If you really want to be slaughtered, then I"ll grant it! Burning Inferno! Fire Domain!" Ernest exploded in flames that blazed like a vortex of a fire tornado.
The ground that sealed his movement melted and became a field of superheated magma. A domain of fiery red flames covering an area of two hundred meters formed around the crazed fire lion.
"Keke, keke..." Ernest laughed like a sinister demon, and he freed himself from the shackles of the earth that had become magma and lava. It was his domain, and complete control was in his hands.
"Gio!" Vanessa exclaimed in concern.
Unfortunately, Gio remained relaxed and calm as if he wasn"t in any predicament. Even though he was right in the middle of the sea of fire and buried in the lava, it didn"t bother him.
"Senior white tiger and her revived father have thought of a well-thought-out plan. I think now is the time." Gio muttered to himself, then he jumped off the ground.
"You irritate me so much, let"s turn you into a giant roasted tortoise." The appearance of the colossal monster from the ground caught Ernest"s attention very much. He decided to kill the annoying beast as his first target.
"It"s a pity. Your fire will never win against me." Gio roared at the fire lion that was running over.
"Let"s see who will win. Your earth element will never win against my Blazing Inferno and my Fire Domain!" Ernest sneered back in simple beast language.
"You don"t know anything about me. If you think I only master the earth element, then that"s a big mistake." Gio prepared his magic, but his opponent waited for nothing more than to attack.
"Die!" Ernest flapped his blazing fire wings.
A gigantic wave of fire and lava immediately came like a tsunami of destruction that would burn everything.
*Splash!* *Bam!*
Gio was submerged in a sea of superheated lava until his body was out of sight. Seeing that, Ernest laughed like he had gone mad and lost his mind.
"Hahaha! That"s the fate of anyone who dares to challenge me! Next up is you d.a.m.n winged tiger. I think I should just scorch all winged tigers, mercilessly and without residue." Ernest smirked and glanced at Vanessa.
Vanessa gasped and subconsciously took a step back because of the fear and oppressive aura emitted by the Fire Lion Emperor.
"Vanessa, quickly take cover behind us. We will set up a defensive formation. That Fire Lion Emperor has entered into berserk mode! Hurry up!" Theo shouted urgently. He and his wife also immediately set up a high-level defensive formation on the ground.
"Ah?" Although feeling confused, Vanessa listened to what her uncle said. She immediately turned around and shot toward the semi-finished defensive formation.
Gio"s fate was still unclear, and here the things went south all of a sudden because their strongest opponent went berserk.
*Roar!*
A loud roar resounded. The lava behind Ernest exploded suddenly and revealed an uninjured colossal earth dragon. Gio had already successfully used his transformation magic, and he would now be able to easily defeat his opponent.
A slight difference from his previous self from the current one. The dark brown color of his back was now tinted with a bluish tint, and a large capacity of water and ice elements floated around him.
"You"ll be defeated by me because that"s the plan. Where are you going, fire lion? Your fire didn"t hurt me at all." Gio gave a "come on" gesture with his claws. He would not let his opponent go.
"Ho? You"re still alive apparently. Then I just need to send you back to h.e.l.l full of fire!" Ernest spread his wings and front legs. Dozens of vortexes of fire and lava towered over and immediately attacked the colossal earth dragon.
"Hmph!" Gio just snorted and immediately controlled his earth, water, and ice elements to extinguish the Fire Domain.
At the same time, he stomped his feet on the ground to create a violent tremor of the earthquake to speed things up.
*Bam!* *Swoosh*
Visible to the eye, the previously bright red lava turned bluish-brown. Then, the fire vortex extinguished right after they came into contact with Gio"s body. Not done with that, Gio immediately stomped his foot again on the ground for a counterattack.
*Bam!*
Another earthquake occurred, but this time, a tsunami-like mud wave rose high and headed for Ernest.
"What? Impossible, my domain..." Ernest gaped in surprise to see his domain and his attacks taken for granted and annihilated.
He didn"t notice a ma.s.sive tidal wave coming from the side due to his shock. By the time he realized that... It was too late, and his subsequent fate was only to fall to the ground and be buried in a large volume of cold mud.
"You think this will stop me?!" Ernest struggled to free himself, but for some reason, only his head managed to come out despite all his efforts. While his body was pulled back as if this mud sucked himself in to bury him alive.
In response, Gio just rolled his eyes and made the mud harden until it became like cold, rocky ground.
Gio nodded once and slightly puffed out his chest. The victory was already in his hands as planned, and for the next, he just had to leave the rest to his white tiger senior. The battle was over.
However, there was one thing that was a bit odd. Ernest was stuck in an awkward position with only his head and b.u.t.tocks sticking out to the surface.
"Wow, this is more tense than I thought. How about you, Beast G.o.d? This is a fair battle of one Beast Emperor, two Saint Beasts and one Spirit Beast. There is no injustice in this battle." Elysia put her hands together after the tension of the battle subsided.
"Yeah, that"s very fair. You invited the ancient Beast Emperor to this battle. The almost immortal earth dragon of the Fairy Continent, Gioragh. That colossal earth dragon alone could flatten the Pyrogressive Lion Clan. So, what is justice!?" Regulus snapped as if he had been tricked and humiliated. It was already an outstanding achievement as he just stood in silence and watched his distant descendants be castrated.
"Huh, why are you asking me that? But, well... Justice is a concept of moral rightness based ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, equity and fairness." Elysia was slightly confused and answered with an innocent and relaxed mind.
"You, uh, that"s not what I wanted to ask as a complaint question." Regulus was also a little confused and realized that he had just given the wrong statement of complaint.
"Well then, the battle is over, and your rules haven"t been broken by anyone. There are no casualties, and the groups from both sides are initially on the same level of strength before the strength limit.
Your complaint is invalid because we are upholding justice here. Whereas you are nothing more than the head of a family who failed to educate your descendants." Rhea immediately intervened, but she had a strong urge to chuckle at her master"s innocent behavior. She had no idea if it was intentional or not, but it was still entertaining nonetheless.
Since Rhea had spoken, Regulus simply swallowed back whatever he wanted to say.
He was still wondering who this six-winged golden G.o.ddess was. Why was the G.o.ddess of life, now the G.o.ddess of Nature, so respectful of this golden G.o.ddess? They both had six wings, and their wings could be hidden. Could these two G.o.ddesses be sisters or something?
Meanwhile, more than a thousand beasts who were watching from a safe distance started muttering to each other as the battle was over, and they were able to determine who won and who lost.
"Wha- whow, that tortoise big bro is so great! Beast Emperor Ernest was defeated so coolly and amazingly!"
"Stupid, you want to ask or be amazed. Also, it"s not a tortoise, but a giant earth dragon, fool!"
"Whatever it is, it"s going to be a mess. The Pyrogressive Lion Clan"s prince has been castrated and our Emperor has been humiliated. What do you think will happen after this?"
"A war! But, I doubt that since four divine beings are here, and three of them seem like they"ll make things right."
"Don"t be fooled by what will happen next, I will only respect the strong and that brown earth dragon is the strongest beast! I will kneel down and paid my obeisance to that big bro!"
"The Pyrogressive Lion Clan is descended from the Beast G.o.d, and again, there are many imperial warriors there, ready to carry out Beast Emperor Ernest"s orders."
"War! Battle! I like it, and I want it, love! Beast Continent has been quiet for too long, and we need chaos! Thank you for the brave old Winged Tiger Clan, it turns out that the Pyrogressive Lion Clan is a bunch of losers! Wuahaha!"
"Hey, I"m not with him and I don"t know this mad animal."
"You crazy animal, have you lost your mind or something? Our continent was chaotic eleven years ago."
All sorts of commotion broke out, but the final outcome of the battle wasn"t over yet. Vanessa still remembers what her father hoped for, and the situation of Beast Emperor Ernest was very suitable to carry out this heinous thing.
