After the [Descend of the Night] Yue Yu lost track of everything.

Coincidentally thundering sounds started to pop up right after. It was as if both Tian Lang and Qian Qian were putting their last desperate struggle against Lich Suo Ge.

Yue Yu was filled with fear and guilt.

She knew what she had to do.

Go back and report to the palace at the fastest speed.

Although she knew Qian Qian’s strength, she couldn’t help but have that thought. To think they would encounter such a crisis when they were laughing and teasing each-other just a while ago.

‘I should’ve stopped them. No matter what they did, I should’ve stood my ground and not give in to their whimsical plans,’ Yue Yu berated herself. In the first place, the idea of fighting against a Lich without an army was in by itself an absurdity. Who dared to try something so crazy?

“Sis Yu, you don’t believe that I’m a pervert and a rogue, do you?...

“I don’t even know what pervert means...

“Sis Yu, do I look like a pervert?”

“I should’ve said to his face that he is a pervert and a rogue...

“I don’t know what a pervert means, don’t ask me...

“He does look like a pervert... not?”

Yue Yu was slightly confused as Tian Lang’s innocent face flashed before his eyes.

‘He doesn’t have the look of a pervert, I guess?’

“Sis Yu, even you are bullying me!”

And all the time she spent with Qian Qian.

Others might call her amazoness, but the Royal Princess was like a cute little sister to her.

Yue Yu gritted her teeth. They wouldn’t be able to hold back until she brings back reinforcement. If they fall, they will fall together.

The Emperor would surely notice a princess’s disappearance and get back to Eagle’s Cry Valley eventually.

If memory serves her right, once she took twenty steps along the rocky path, there should be a small peak from where even she could jump to the other side. Unlike Qian Qian, she wasn’t someone who crazily trained her body.

Thankfully, she reached the other side without any hitch.

Recalling the terrain, she quickly moved behind a boulder and peaked from there.

She just happened to see a white streak hit a body.

The hit figure gained a bluish hue, making him slightly visible in the dark.

Right after, a [Lightning Strike] and hammer-wielding Gold Armoured Puppet came striking at him.

‘Not good!’ color drained from Yue Yu’s face.

Just when her heart was going through the pain of losing a teammate, she saw the Gold Armoured Puppet flying back. Let alone dying, Tian Lang seemed unharmed. He even mocked Lich Suo Ge casually.

With the bluish hue on his body, Tian Lang’s casual attitude toward a terrifying character like Lich Suo Ge looked extremely valiant and heroic, as if nothing could phase him. The slight smile on his face gave a dependable aura. He was like a trusty wall made out of the strongest icy jade.

Yue Yu snapped out of her reverie and quickly cast her Inherent Skill: “[Spirit Spring!]”

Which only served to make Tian Lang more comfortable that he wanted to take a nap.

However, Yue Yu would never realize, her casual action actually caused that terrifying existence called Lich Suo Ge to almost dirty his robe.

‘T-there’s another one,’ Lich Suo Ge screamed in terror. It didn’t matter if the newly arrived ‘demon’ lacked fighting prowess. No, if she was a supporting-type, then the fight would only become harder! They weren’t planning to fight fair and square from the start!

Thankfully, although Lich Suo Ge had a humanoid body, he no longer required such a useless function. Otherwise, he would’ve been embarrassed to die peacefully.

More importantly, he was facing imminent destruction. He had miscalculated [Descend of the Night], and all of his beasts had suffered grave injuries, yet these brats only added more to their numbers. Since the two were so strong, the other should be at a similar level. No, he wouldn’t believe it even if they said otherwise.

Lich Suo Ge gritted his teeth. If he made a careless mistake, it would be very easy for him to be burned to death. He must think of a right way out. Otherwise, the situation would be perilous.

Tian Lang was also worried that Suo Ge might use the unique teleportation orb of Abyss to escape. However, he acutely noticed that something was wrong.

Suo Ge was already losing. If he took a step further, Tian Lang could say, Suo Ge’s life was in danger. Usually, no matter how significant the loss is, Liches would escape in that kind of situation.

Why?

There was a theory. Liches abandon their physical body, sense of touch, and smell because they were terrified of dying. They didn’t wish to die, which was why they became Immortal Lich.

Lich Suo Ge sighed, “It seems that I am left with no other option but to use my Guardian Beast now. I did not wish for that to happen.”

His tone was filled with regret and unwillingness as if he was helplessly looking at somebody stealing his spoils of war.

Suo Ge summoned a gigantic beast that was almost as big as a mountain. Its body was covered with disgusting scars. At the top of the Beast, there appeared to be a face similar to that of a human, but its looks were too sinister and ugly. It was so ugly that others would vomit at its sight. At the crown of its head, there seemed to be feelers like snails moving about non-stop.

As it materialized, it spat out green fluid and several skeletal remains, its blood-red tongue started to coil back to its disgusting lips.

Then, it spoke: “Suo Ge, you idiot, how dare you let me eat such disgusting things. Let me tell you this, these people that I ate all tasted gross. Their meat was rotten. This great me only wants beautiful women, do you understand? I only desire beautiful women. Do you know what a beautiful woman is? When you eat them, there is a sweet and fragrant taste, their bones are crispy, and their grease just melts in your mouth. That is what a beautiful woman is.”

A Guardian Beast that can speak and have its own consciousness. Yet, only Bronze-ranked Level 6, towards the sudden appearance of this strange life form, Tian Lang held nothing but surprise.

But why was it so arrogant? Wasn’t it only a bronze ranked beast?

“In front of you, there is a strong human and two beauties of a similar level. They are all food for you. Are you still not satisfied? If you are still not happy, you can return back to the Grimoire. I will just summon another beast to deal with them.” Lich Suo Ge’s expression changed slightly, but his tone still carried the dignity of a master.

“Drop your act, Suo Ge. If you weren’t in a crisis, then you wouldn’t have summoned me.” The Strange Beast ridiculed him ruthlessly, mocking and jeering unceasingly.

“What the hell? An admonition like this exists?” Tian Lang couldn’t help but cry out.

“What? You dare to insult me and call me an admonition?” The Strange Beast was extremely angry when he heard him.

“Why do you bother arguing with someone who is going to end up in your stomach sooner or later? Why do you have to make life difficult for yourself and get angry with a piece of trash?” Lich Suo Ge replied as he tried to provoke the Strange Beast even further.

“I hate it when people call me ugly the most. I am handsome. Those who insult me must all die. Suo Ge, say, do you think that I, Spittoon, am handsome? My body shape is perfect, and my name, Spittoon, is the most likable name under the sky.

“Furthermore, every part of my body is the most outstanding one in the world. Yet, you lowly human trash who is as insignificant as a bug actually dared to insult me. I will never forgive you. I am going to eat you and turn you into my excrement!” The Strange beast was steaming with anger as he stomped on the ground and shouted furiously.

Shock!

Qian Qian, the royal swordswoman, almost lost grip on her sword, and Yue Yu, the gentle rabbit, nearly jumped out of her hiding spot. As for Tian Lang’s jaw, they could only drop so far, limited by his masseter muscle.

That name was truly... fitting for a fitting admonition.

He thought his Guardian Beast: [Origin Slime] was the world’s most useless guardian beast. But now, he was thankful for not getting something like the Giant Pincer Centipede or this admonition in front of him.

If he had a Guardian Beast like that, let alone in public, he would never let it breathe this world’s air!

He reckoned Lich Suo Ge had similar hesitation in using his Guardian Beast only when he had no other choice. Not to mention, it seemed Lich Suo Ge was the bottom in their hierarchy.

“Yes, Spittoon, it took me ten painstaking years to think of a suitable name for you, and after racking my brain, I finally came up with Spittoon,” said the Lich Suo Ge as he nodded his head earnestly. “As for whether you are handsome, I believe even a blind guy would be able to tell.”

Tian Lang suddenly had a lot of respect for this Lich. As they say: Like Master, like Beast. They were a pair brought together by Grimoire.

“Well-said, Suo Ge. Nobody except you can understand and appreciate me. Now, let me eat this infuriating fool before I eat the two beauties. I only want to eat beauties. Do you understand? If a handsome guy like me does not have any beauties to eat, how can I be considered handsome?” The Strange beast blurted out unmannerly.

Tian Lang also pitied Suo Ge. Other’s Guardian Beast would be obedient to their master’s orders, but Suo Ge had to wait upon his Guardian Beast instead.

It seemed only Tian Lang was watching everything like a bystander. The royal swordswoman left the Giant Frost Dragon behind and jumped. With the black sword above her head, she cleanly cut the Strange Beast in two. Her white hair following behind her like a tail.

“You filth of Abyss, who do you want to eat!” Qian Qian cut the beast into few more parts in indignation.

She glared at Tian Lang, but her eyes seemed to contain a hint of... fear and apprehension?

“It is useless. This great Spittoon is an unparalleled beast. All forms of attacks are useless against me!” The Strange Beast shouted arrogantly, surprising the trio.

The pieces of meat without any blood wiggled and melded together. In the blink of an eye, the same hideous admonition returned, perfectly fine without any ounce of injury.

A hand descended on Qian Qian, who casually dodged. Landing opposite to Tian Lang’s direction.

Lich Suo Ge nodded his head and sneered, “It does not matter if it is a sword, a dagger, a spear, or even the sharp claws and teeth of Beasts. Even with four elements: Fire, Wind, Water, and Earth, none can put a scratch on Spittoon’s body. He is an unrivaled glutton, and it does not matter what beast is standing in front of him, they would all face the same ending, and that is to be eaten.”

Which, Tian Lang scoffed at.

He wouldn’t believe that even if someone said that to him months ago, let alone now.

The more bizarre a beast’s strength was, the more fatal their weakness would be.

The ugly Glutton Spittoon was no exception.

And this strange ability wasn’t unseen in the history of the Soaring Dragon Continent. Typically, these types of beasts had a Soul Seal in their body or nearby. Once this Soul Seal was destroyed, they would die for good.

Since Tian Lang knew what to look for, it wasn’t even a challenge thanks to his eyes.

The Soul Seal inside Spittoon moved exceptionally quickly and unpredictably. Without a direct strike to its core, it remained unscathed.

“Beauty! Hahaha, come to me, beauty. Let this great Spittoon eat you. It is your pride to be my food!” Spittoon arrogantly declared while splattering its spit everywhere. It brought its ugly hand on the royal swordswoman.

Qian Qian made a disgusted face as she avoided the spits and the hand. With a wave of her hand, she cut the hands into pieces. Then, with a dash, the black sword cut Spittoon’s body into hundreds of pieces.

However, the result remained the same.

“Pass me the sword!” Tian Lang suddenly shouted.

The next instant, the black sword came flying at him. With the tip pointed at his throat, of course.

Tian Lang swallowed hard and dodged the strike. His hand grabbing the hilt, he gave a harsh glare to the royal swordswoman. It was obviously unneeded to show her distaste during a battle.

But Qian Qian was obviously not in her normal state. When Tian Lang glared, she instantly retreated a few steps.

Not minding her abnormal reaction, Tian Lang dashed with the sword in tow.

“I am going to eat you!” The Strange Beast, Spittoon, raised both of its regenerated arms, intending to envelop Tian Lang and digest him.

Tian Lang awkwardly slashed with the sword, and just as the Soul Seal was about to change direction, he pierced it with the sword.

Pong-g...

Shuuu~

There was a soft noise of air leaking.

Spittoon, which was about to recover, froze still. The meat lumps that covered its whole body started to drop off, secreting waves of disgusting green fluid as if that ugly meatball was melting.

Although, this Spittoon was a Guardian Beast and would never truly die. It would still need some time to be resummoned again.

“Ahhhh…” Lich Suo Ge was petrified as he watched this scene unfold right before his eyes. How did he manage to kill his glutton Guardian Beast with just one strike? How is it possible?

The glutton’s Soul Seal should not be susceptible to any attack, so how did this happen?

Could it be that this youth was indeed a genius?

Lich Suo Ge broke out in cold sweats as he thought about it.

Tian Lang was slightly surprised. Even though all of Suo Ge’s Beast’s were dead, the Grimoire’s shield was still active.

“Ha ha ha, the dark mist that was created was due to my summoned beast. Although it does not have a physical body, the Grimoire acknowledges that it’s one of the summoned beasts still alive. We are in its stomach, and my Grimoire will never disappear as long as it exists. At least before the time limit is up, it will not disappear. Do you wish to kill me? Young one, none can do.

“You are still too inexperienced. Did you see the teleportation orb that I am holding? Once the dark mist fades away, I will leave, and you will not be able to touch a single strand of hair on my body. You can only watch helplessly as I depart...

“Are you not an Innate Ranker? Come and kill me if you can,” Lich Suo Ge laughed heartily. Maybe he felt that it was not enough to just tease him like this. He exaggeratedly put the transportation orb back into his Lich Ring and took out a chair, which he leisurely sat on. He then took a glass of grape wine in his hand and drank it slowly.

Of course, he was actually extremely nervous in his heart.

Although his Guardian Beast Spittoon would never truly die, if its Soul Seal was damaged, it most likely wouldn’t recover within a month.

The Gold Armoured Puppet’s magic core was already damaged, and it had been thoroughly destroyed. As for his two Ice Orbs, one was sealed by this brat, and the other Ice Orb had combined with his Zombie Dragon to form a Giant Frost Dragon, which was then killed by the Reaper Mantis, who had sliced off its neck. Furthermore, its dragon crystal core was then divided by the strange golden thorny flower and the Reaper Mantis.

Although, he said divided. It was more like the thorny flower digesting as much as it could before the Reaper Mantis got to the core.

Luckily, this little brat did not know that when the dark mist disappeared, the power to initiate an attack was still in the brat’s hands. Otherwise, if that brat stood on guard and prepared to ambush himself, that would be dangerous.

This battle was already his defeat.

This defeat was acceptable. Suo Ge had made an error in his earlier judgment and actually concentrated his attack on the Level 7 Gold Ranked Reaper Mantis instead. That brat had waited for Suo Ge’s own beasts to be significantly weakened before coming out and reaping all the benefits.

To suffer a defeat from such an opponent was truly acceptable.

It would be great if he could successfully teleport back to the Demon Abyss.

At that moment, distracting everyone, something flashed on top of the crow king’s corpse. The gray-robed man returned and shouted in anger, “Where the hell is that brat... Ha? Hahaha, although I lost a chance, another girl is knocking on my door. Come to me gir–”

Gulp!

“...”

“...”

“...”

“...”
