Chapter 487 - Ruler (1/2)

Alex and the rest were both scared and confused when they heard the black jaguar.

”You… you are a human. This can't be true. What is going on?” the jaguar asked as it was itself confused as well.

Suddenly, a fearsome aura spread out from the jaguar making even the Emperor himself cower in fear. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as he finally realized just how wrong he was even after figuring out that the jaguar was stronger than him.

'This is like nothing I've sensed before. Not even grandfather ever lived enough to be this strong,' he thought.

It didn't need to be mentioned just how badly the others were suffering.

”Did you do something to deceive me, human? Speak up or I will kill you right now,” the jaguar said.

The Emperor and the other two turned to look at the jaguar only to see a truly angry face of his.

The puma who said that he was just an observer in this event, slowly came forward. A wave of similar anger appeared on its face as well.

”Let's kill them all,” he said, striking fear in the heart of all 7 that were there.

”No, we need to make sure we are wrong first,” the jaguar said. He then turned around to the 7 and asked, ”Speak up, what is going on here?”

The emperor didn't exactly know why the jaguar was angry, but seeing how it didn't seem to be here for a human, he asked, ”are you not after this child?”

The jaguar turned to look at Alex properly once more and a bit of hesitation arose in his heart. ”I don't know. Who is this and why did you bring him here?”

”I didn't bring him,” the Emperor said.

”I came here on my own,” Alex said, with a really pale face. ”You are here for me, so take me and leave them alone.”

The Emperor and the other 2 saint realm experts looked back in shock to see Alex even able to speak. It was hard for even the emperor to speak given how much suppression they were under due to the jaguar's aura. And yet, a kid that wasn't even in the True realms could speak up under such conditions.

The jaguar and the puma were certainly surprised as well. The jaguar slowly looked up and down at Alex, with the thousands of beasts that were cowering in fear behind him as well.

”The one I'm looking for does appear to be you. But this has to be a mistake because we aren't looking for any sort of humans. We want nothing to do with your kind,” the jaguar said.

”Then what are you here for if not me?” Alex asked.

”For our own kind. I'm here to take back the one who has our lord's bloodline. I do not know why it appeared on you human. However, It seems I must take you back to see what is happening.” The jaguar said.

”If it appears to be deception on your part, I will come back to destroy your entire empire,” the puma threatened from behind.

”There is no deception here,” Alex said. ”I came here because I could sense the feeling of something calling me towards the south. Every time this feeling appeared, the beasts appeared along with it.”

”To protect the ones I cared about, I chose to give myself up,” Alex said.

The jaguar and the puma's face suddenly changed. The puma disappeared from where he stood and appeared right next to Alex, smelling him a little.

”Where is the feeling coming from? Show me,” the Puma asked.

”I can't move,” Alex said.

The puma released his own aura and countered the jaguar's aura, allowing Alex and the rest to move again.

”Show me,” he said.

Alex nodded and pointed towards the southeast direction. ”That's where the feeling is coming from,” Alex said.

Puma looked in shock and went back to the jaguar. ”What's going on? That human child is accurately locating the palace,” the puma asked.

”I do not know. Is there something wrong with the fountain perhaps?” the jaguar asked.

”No way,” the puma said. ”Every single one I found was accurate. There is nothing wrong with the fountain. Besides, this is our last chance. The fountain won't work after today.”

The jaguar's face soured when he heard that. Lady Ren had indeed given such an assessment, which was the reason the two of them had decided to team up together for this time.

”So we take him back, right?” the jaguar asked.

”We have to. If the fountain isn't wrong, then he has the bloodline of our Lord,” puma said.

”Can it really be that this human was born to be the king of our people?” the jaguar asked.
