Chapter 18: Austine Beatrice’s Plan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In front of the wooden table, a tall figure dressed in white with cascading black hair sat cross-legged in silence.

Suddenly…

Within the teacup before him, the tea that was emitting immortal spirit energy suddenly trembled and ripples appeared.

Despite seeing the ripples, the figure remained unmoving like a mountain.

A few moments later, he slowly raised his hand and extended it into the air.

Suddenly…

Something that looked like a strand of hair fell from the air.

It floated and landed in the other party’s palm.

If the people from the La Po wo palace were here, they would definitely cry out in shock. The “strand of hair” was actually a thread from the Scepter of Fate.

Nevertheless…

The figure had only spared it a short glance before throwing it away.

The thread drifted towards a small pond not far away.

Splash!

Ripples suddenly appeared out of the pond, and a small green-black serpent with patterns on its body poked its head out.

With just one bite, it swallowed the thread.

Its face revealed a look of enjoyment.

In the Oguapu Palace in Clarkswick Desert.

“Enough! Stop arguing.”

Salisbury said calmly.

“We’ll stay our hand for the time being. We don’t have many Stage 9 and above beast tamers after all.”

“The second scoreboard will release 7 days later. 

“We need to make some preparations.”

“Sir, if we miss this opportunity, we might fall behind!”

Uzul spat.

“Enough! Uzul!”

Salisbury glanced at him. “I know you are not happy with your injury, but you’d better behave yourself.”

With that, Salisbury snorted coldly and left the palace.

Uzul left the palace without saying a word, but the unwillingness in his eyes grew stronger.

“Hmph, I doubt Joe will stay still once I get rid of one of the rebel army’s leaders.”

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Splash!

In the Eastern Sea of the rebel’s territory, the waves were calm.

Crash!

A violent wave suddenly rose from the surface of the lightning pool beside it.

In the next moment, a pitch-black Heavenly Love Silver Fox with a white belly and green pupils emerged from the Lightning Pool.

If anyone was here, they would definitely be able to tell that it was the Heavenly Love Silver Fox, ranked 95th on the Hundred Beasts Board.

However, the Heavenly Love Silver Fox was in a very sorry state.

Its skin and flesh split open, and blood was flowing out.

Even its aura was much weaker.

“Little Silver, how are you? Hurry up and put me down! Their target is you. They won’t kill you.”

The fox shook its head, and Erica asked with a pale face.

She had suffered a blow from Uzul just now, and her body was heavily injured.

If it had not been for the fact that the Heavenly Love Silver Fox was running for its life, it probably would have fallen into Uzul’s hands long ago.

“Hiss!”

The Silver Fox of Heavenly Love swam for its life, but it had no intention of letting Erica go.

It was quite intelligent, and as such, it understood why the figure was pursuing it.

“Hahaha! Run! Run as fast as you can!”

Uzul stepped in the air, and his pet beasts followed closely behind him.

On both sides, a total of five silver dragons flapped their wings and flew high.

“You think you can escape from the Silver Dragon Guards that my Oguapu Palace has nurtured?”

Uzul greedily wiped the corner of his mouth.

“I didn’t expect that the master of the Heavenly Love Silver Fox to be such a beauty.”

“Tsk!”

‘Who said that the people in the Oguapu Palace were all upright?’

In Uzul’s eyes, Erica was nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Had it not been for his sick personality of toying with his preys, he would have already asked the silver dragons to kill her.

“Be obedient and surrender, beautfiul!”

Uzul laughed like a cat catching a mouse.

“Such a rare perfect body should belong to me! hahaha!”

“How… How Shameless!”

Erica’s pretty face turned pale as she fired a beam of elemental energy at Uzul.

However…

As she was only a Stage 8 beast tamer, how could she be his match?

Before the elemental energy could get close, a silver dragon had dispersed it with a flap of its wings.

“Overestimating yourself, are we?!”

Uzul snorted coldly.

“Enough! Enough running! Let’s end this!”

Without waiting for him to speak, the five Stage 8 Silver Dragons spurred forward, instantly surpassing the heavenly love Silver Fox’s figure.

“Little Silver, dive quickly!”

Erica’s expression changed drastically as she shouted.

But right at this moment..,

Five waves of intense elemental energy shot forth from the silver dragons.

Bam!

Five resplendent silver light pillars interweaved with each other, forcibly sealing off the Lightning Pool where the Heavenly Love Silver Fox was located in.

Elemental Cage!

Boom Boom!

The Heavenly Love Silver Fox collided against the cage countless times. Even though its skull was already cracking, it was to no avail.

“Stop struggling. Unless you’ve reached Stage 9, there’s no way you can break free from the cage.”

Uzul clapped his hands, his face full of disdain.

“Hmph, Lord Salisbury’s worries are completely groundless.”

“Look, I’ve been chasing her for so long now. How is there any danger?”

He looked at the Heavenly Love Silver Fox with great interest.

“Heavenly Love Silver Fox, how about it? I’m sure I’ll be a fitting master for you, right?”

“In your dreams!”

Heavenly Love Silver Fox spoke in the human tongue. It was actually a female’s voice.

“Uzul, release Erica. Otherwise, even if I die, I won’t sign a contract with you.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Uzul chuckled. “Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?”

As he said that, he waved his hand.

“You guys, keep an eye out for me. I have something important to attend to. Don’t disturb me, understood?”

“Yes, your eminence!”

The five silver dragons nodded in unison.

“Yes!”

Uzul said as he raised his hand. In the next moment, a palm condensed with light reached out towards Erica.

The terrifying power was useless no matter how much Erica struggled.

Under the desperate gaze of the Silver Fox of heavenly love, she was forcefully pulled out of the elemental cage.

“Kekeke!”

Looking at Erica, who was brought before him, Uzul laughed evilly.

“Scream! The louder you scream, the more excited I get! Haha!”

“You…”

Erica looked at Uzul’s approaching palm, and a hint of despair flashed across her eyes.

However…

Just as she was about to meet a vicious attack…

The originally calm surface of the eastern sea suddenly churned with a shocking wave.

“Hehe, foolish Uzul.”

On the rebel army’s East Sea, Austine, who was standing in mid-air, chuckled.

The spy she had intentionally left alive had successfully returned to the Oguapu Palace.

Although there was Salisbury’s hindrance, there were bound to be people who could not sit still.

Thus…

Long before Uzul had set off, she had already secretly followed behind him.

She wanted to wait for him to finish off the rebel army’s beast tamers before making her move.
