Chapter 328 - The Blue-Flame Empyrean Lion! (1/2)
'This blue-flame lion has a lot of perverted abilities! I must hunt it down and get them for myself! Its ice-cold flames and monster realm will be a great addition to my abilities, and it will help me in creating a loyal army that I can bring to my side at any time!' Thought he, who had the most excellent and perverted ability of all in existence but still was greedy for more.
The thing was that upon death, monster lords drop a condensed version of their ultimate move, and as long as one can provide a suitable quality and amount of energy to it, they can use the monster lord's ultimate move for themselves!
But hunting down a monster lord was too dangerous, and the danger level increases by a thousand times if a person goes solo!
Elliot turned to Freya, and after looking at her worried-filled face and feeling the need to ease his worry, he said, ”I am guessing that the spider queen found out about my invasion and your betrayal and schemed against us. Taking the fact that we will inevitably use the portal generated by the stone stele into consideration, she changed the destination to this dangerous place. And we played straight into her hands, appearing straight in front of a high-ranked Monster Lord.”
The voice he used was loud and full of ease.
The Monster Lord's fluffy ears twitched as it woke up from its slumber.
The blue-flame lion's tail was thick and tall, and it suddenly raised it high.
The moment its tail raised, its eyes also opened up.
The ocean-blue slanted pupil stared right at Elliot and Freya, killing intent burning wildly in them.
It was angry at them, for Elliot had disturbed its sleep, and since Freya was accompanying him, she deserved to die too.
Freya was already feeling troubled, but when the blue-flame lion's killing intent pressed down on her, big droplets of sweat oozed out of her forehead.
Elliot glared back at it and also released his killing intent, causing a pressure so mighty to press down on the land that it cracked, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared all over it.
The lion's thick brows furrowed, and its eyes squinted as it stared at him apprehensively.
His unbridled killing intent scared the shit out of Freya. Although she also had air in her chest, it was not oxygen but a pure manifestation of the fear she was feeling right now. A killing intent so thick could only belong to a man who had killed tens of thousands of beings without shedding a single tear, she thought, realizing that there was more to Elliot than what she thought.
As it now knew that Elliot wasn't a small fry but a being worthy enough to fight it, the blue-flame lion gave him respect by standing up on all four and roared so mighty that its roar produced so many shockwaves that they uprooted the nearby lamps and trees, caused the land to vibrate so violently that it felt as if a volcano had erupted trees and tried to put a debuff on Elliot.
[The blue-Flame Empyrean Lion, king of the twilight forest and the master of ten hundred thousand monsters, had attacked you with its intimidating and mighty roar.]
[You've failed the status check]
[Your stats had temporarily decreased by 5%!]
Elliot was taken aback by the sudden decrease in his strength, but he wasn't so shocked that he forgot to be attentive to his surrounding.
Its roar also almost ruptured Freya's eardrums.
