Taking Over Gigante Forest - Part 10
Taking Over Gigante Forest - Part 10
She was shocked to see the Guardian Beast here, but she was shocked even more when she saw the Guardian Beast kneeling to the man. She could not believe what she saw in front of her. The strongest figure in the forest was kneeling to a human? Her mind froze for a moment, trying to comprehend what she saw.
The other Elven and the Moonlight Warrior were shocked as well with Kalliyan's appearance. Earlier in the battle, they did not see or sense The Guardian Beast's presence. Even when Kalliyan shouted, they could not see clearly who was shouting. They thought it was just the voice of one of Tang Shaoyang's subordinates. But no one could guess that one of Tang Shaoyang's subordinates was The Guardian Beast.
"You betrayed US!" Kaylin was the first one to yell. If she had her hand, she might point her finger at Kalliyan. Her reaction was not unexpected, and this was what Tang Shaoyang wanted. He wanted to show the Elven and the Moonlight Tribe that resistance was futile with Guardian Beast on his side.
"Betrayed who?" Kalliyan stood up and glanced at the limbless Elven. "You conspire with this lowly human to-" Kaylin did not finish her words as Zara appeared in front of her. The Angel of Death pushed Kaylin's head backward with her left hand. A transparent black sword appeared in her right hand, and without any hesitation, she thrust the sword to Kaylin's throat.
The sword went through Kaylin's throat, and Elven's body shook as her eyes widened open. She opened her mouth, trying to scream, but no voice came out of her mouth. Kaylin's body shook from the amount of pain she experienced.
"I will not allow you to insult The Emperor of Tang without paying any price!" Zara's eyes blackened. Kaylin tried to break free from the grasp, but her body did not budge under Zara's grasp. "This is the first and the last time you disrespect him, do you understand?"
Kaylin nodded her head furiously as tears flowed out from her eyes and snot from her nose. The beautiful creature was in a more than sorry state. She looked pitiful for a prideful elf. The other three Elven looked at the Angel in terror as they were surrounded with thick killing intent. They felt like they were drowned and suffocated by the killing intent.
"Do you understand?" Zara then looked at the other three Elven. The three Elven also nodded their heads. After that, The Angel of Death slowly pulled out the sword from Kaylin's throat. Only after the sword completely pulled from her throat, Kaylin's breathing noise could be heard again.
"Hah… Hah… Hah…" Tears were still flowing down from her eyes, but she lost her arrogance after what she had experienced just now. She looked at Zara in terror as the Angel returned to Tang Shaoyang's side.
The Moonlight Warrior subconsciously took two steps back from Zara. In that short moment, the Angel managed to plant a deep fear on the Elven. That was something she would not want to experience. However, she noted something else to report to the Moonlight Tribe's Chief and Elders. The existence of the Angel that was as strong as The Guardian Beast.
Even though she did not have any proof about that, she was sure about that after she experienced the terrifying aura from the Angel of Death. Not long after the incident, an old knight arrived in the dungeon. Roan came with a leather scroll, and he brought two of them as per Tang Shaoyang's instructions.
Tang Shaoyang took one of them and handed it to the Moonlight Warrior. "Read the contract if you don't trust us, but be quick." After saying that, he saved the second contract to his inventory. He was still considering bringing the Elven under his banner or not. He leaned to the latter since he did not want a troublesome subordinate like the Elven.
"What's your name?" Tang Shaoyang asked the Moonlight Warrior. "M-my n-name is Lusha." The Moonlight Warrior stuttered a bit as she replied.
Lusha read the contract and made sure that the opposite party did not trick her. After double-checking the contract, she dropped her blood and signed the contract. Tang Shaoyang did the same, and the contract scroll turned into light particles. Half of it entered Tang Shaoyang's forehead, while the remaining of it entered Lusha's forehead.
"You can go now! If I don't hear the answer from the Moonlight Tribe in two days, I will take that as a No, which means we will meet again on the battlefield." Tang Shaoyang looked at Lusha.
"What about them?" Lusha was still concerned about her comrades, "You have promised me not to harm them."
"Haven't you read the contract properly? If your tribe is in a war against me, the contract will be nullified. That means I can do anything I want to your comrades." Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow. "You can leave now before I change my mind."
Lusha gritted her teeth and glanced at her comrades. The three Moonlight Warriors nodded their heads at Lusha, telling the latter to leave. "Wait for me." Those were her last words. Lusha then rushed out of the dungeon without looking back.
Tang Shaoyang then looked toward Ashley. "What about Alton?" He then looked toward Kirin. "You did not kill him, did you?"
"We did not kill him." Kalliyan shook her head. "We detain him at the third-level dungeon." Zara was the one who said the last part.
"I see." Tang Shaoyang nodded his head and headed toward the second-level dungeon. He ignored the Elven, who were looking at him, expecting to have the same treatment as the Moonlight Tribe.
Kaylin's complexion paled because that meant, The Elven would be on the list to be destroyed by this man. Before, she thought it was impossible for this man to destroy The Elven, but with The Guardian Beast, she could see the destruction of her home. She opened her mouth, wanting to speak to the man, but the trauma from the Angel of Death prevented her from speaking. She was too scared to speak after what Zara did to her. Until Tang Shaoyang's back disappeared from her sight, Kaylin stayed silent.
Tang Shaoyang entered the level-two dungeon, and to his surprise, the level-two dungeon's cells filled with people. Most of them were men with muscular bodies, and from their build, he could tell they were knights.
"Who are they?" Tang Shaoyang observed the knights. Some of them were fine, while most of them suffered injuries.
"They are the knights who followed Allan. They refused to join the Empire, so we detained them here until further instruction." Ashley was the one who answered him.
"You bastards! Come and fight me!" There was a wild knight who stood up and tried to rush over. He banged the steel bars with his bare hands. Zara took care of him, she slashed her black swords, and the man screamed in pain and kept screaming. "MY HANDS! MY HANDS!" Even though his hands were intact.
Tang Shaoyang ignored the knight's gazes and entered the last level dungeon. There were only four cells in the third-level dungeon, and two of them were occupied. The cell was filled with dirty water around waist level. The dirty water reached the stone bed, so the prisoner could not sleep without being wet.
A figure was sitting at the edge of the stone bed with his eyes closed, and that person was Alton.
