Chapter 292: Resolve (2/2)

Meanwhile, Zowen was playing with her lightning spark in her hand. Zaneos did not forget his main purpose as he walked next to Tang Shaoyang.

”Hello, Sir Dragon,” Zaneos put his right hand on his chest and bowed his head toward the dragon. The Demon Swordsman showed his respect for the mythical creature despite his hate for the dragon as the dragon was one of the reasons his life was sold out.

”What I am going to tell you is my speculation, but the chance it would happen around seventy percent, are you willing to listen to this demon's words?” Zaneos was very polite to the Dragon.

”Are you a noble demon?” Rumru was surprised by how polite the demon was, ”Nah, it does not matter since you are spirit now, I am willing to listen…”

Zaneos took his time to explain everything about the system that made everything possible, including resurrecting Rumru's wife and daughter. He also explained everything about Tang Shaoyang's class, he was explaining to the dragon many ways to resurrect his family.

”The reason I am in a contract with him is also that I want to get resurrected too, so we are in for the same thing though I do have a change of thought lately,” Zaneos ended his explanation with that.

The Demon Swordsman wanted to have the dragon not because he was a Dragon but because Rumru had seen the future. Without a doubt, Rumru would be a big help for Tang Shaoyang.

Rumru looked into the demon's eyes for a moment, the Dragon was contemplating for a moment before he immediately agreed, ”So, what I have to do to join you guys?”

Kairu, Wen, Frost, and Jacky were waiting outside, at the entrance of the crystal cave. They never left the cave since yesterday, the four were waiting for Tang Shaoyang to come out since they knew what happened inside.

”This is too long already, we should go in. I am afraid the sly human will do something to The King!” Kairu impatiently spoke as it had been too long. They had been waiting for more than a day, but Tang Shaoyang had not come out yet. That kinda made Kairu worried.

”Do you really think he could do something to The King?” Wen looked to the side, ”Unless The King allowed it, that human could not even scratch Our King's scale.”

”Even though I am worried too, I have to agree with Wen. What could that weak human do to Our King? Are you looking down on The King?” Frost questioned Kairu coldly.

”As Frost said, if that human really killed the King, it means Our King allowed him to do that. What we can do is just wait for them,” Jacky chimed in casually.

Bwoosh!

Kairu appeared in front of Jacky, his hand moved forward, trying to reach the monkey's neck. However, Jacky's reaction was not slow as he reached Kairu's hand. His armored hand was holding the big wrist tightly as their gazes met.

”Don't you have any feeling, he had protected us in the time we needed it the most. Don't you feel any anger? Are you monkeys really that ungrateful?” Kairu raised his voice and his body released the hot temperature.

Jacky was not afraid of the lion beastmen in the slightest, ”Shouldn't you question yourself about that? Don't you know that The King is suffering all this time? If death was a way to relieve his suffering and he chooses that path, we should respect his choice! The fact you want him to live means you want him to suffer more!”

Hearing those from Jacky's mouth, Kairu was struck with a sudden realization. He could not refute the point Jacky told him.

”But aren't you angry!?” The Flaming Lion did not step back while Jacky faced him calmly, ”I am not angry, just disappointed in myself. If I am a lot stronger than I am now, maybe The King does not need to rely on that human for his vengeance,” the monkey lowered his head in regret.

Those words struck right into Kairu's mind and heart. His grips weakened and stepped back, what Jacky was the truth. If they were stronger, The King did not need to resort to such a way to pin his hope to an unknown human.

The tense atmosphere took a sudden turn, it became gloomy as the four beastmen faced the reality, ”That's why even if I have to lower my head to a human's ruler but if that can help to achieve The King's vengeance, I am willing to do it!” Jacky voiced his thoughts about Rumru's request.

Frost and Kairu immediately raised their heads and looked toward Jacky. They were not expecting to hear this from the monkey.

”Me too, I will follow Tang Shaoyang. If that's The King's final request, I am willing to follow the human, I, and my tribe,” Wen who never spoke also voiced his thoughts which surprised Frost and Kairu more.

”Are you serious? Do you think we can't do it without human help? Not only you, me too! I want to kill those Fake Gods to avenge The King more than avenge my family. But can't we do it by ourselves?” Kairu could not believe that the two core tribes were willing to leave with the humans.

”Again, The King just reminded you yesterday, Kairu! Don't be full of yourself, the humans may be born weak, but do you forget how the empire from the south drove you and your tribe here? You can't even fight against a single empire, do you think you can win against their Gods?” Jacky started to raise his voice too.

”If we want to commit to fighting against the Gods, that means we are battling against humanity! That is much worse than a single empire, we have to fight a bunch of empires! Wake up, Kairu!”

Again, Kairu who always talked with his fist could not refute Jacky's claim. Those were his weaknesses Kairu always avoided, how his friend brought those up to his face. Kairu was left with no words.

”Maybe this is why The King wants us to follow one leader because we never get along. The King is worried about us,” Wen smiled as he watched his two friends arguing, ”Again, Kairu. If you don't want to follow Tang, you don't have to. The King said that himself, you can choose your own path and your decision, but you have to live with it without regret! I will not change my mind, I want to follow Tang. This is my decision!”

”He said he came from another world, right? I wonder what another world looks like? It's not like I and my tribe have a goal, so I choose to follow The King's request to help him with his vengeance!” Wen's words were certainly more powerful than Jacky's. Kairu did not refute the Jade Eagle's words.

”If you want to follow me, then you have to follow my rules!” While the four beastmen fell into silence, Tang Shaoyang's voice rang.
