Chapter 12
Crisis? Kivat Bat the Second!

“Medusa, Mandragora, Gargoyle......”

“Gulp!!”

Looking at the three terrifying King Generals in front of them, countless Fang Blood Demons trembled in fear!

Especially.

Some Fang Blood Demons had experienced the battle against the King of Odd Beasts firsthand. Besides the King's near-invincible power, the four Kings under him, who were like devils and had slaughtered countless of their kind, left an indelible shadow on their minds!

Now.

Although the four Kings were not all present, and the King of Odd Beasts was nowhere to be seen, the Fang Blood Demons felt no joy in their hearts.

You know.

When they faced the King of Odd Beasts, their Fang Blood Demon clan had tens of thousands of strong warriors.

Despite that, they were slaughtered without any resistance.

And now, with only a few hundred left, they had to face three King Generals...

Under these circumstances, perhaps......

Uncontrollable thoughts flooded their minds, and a sense of despair surged through them.

Some Fang Blood Demons wanted to flee.

But as soon as they saw the Gargoyle Odd Beast at the front of the Odd Beasts, they gave up the thought in despair.

“Hmm?”

At that moment, a Medusa Odd Beast with long green hair walked to the front, scanned the group of Fang Blood Demons, and showed disappointment on her face. It seemed that she hadn't found the target she was looking for. She snorted and said, “Sister, that guy is not here!”

Shin'ya and the other Fang Blood Demons recognized her… the one who escaped from the cave last night! It was this green-haired Medusa Odd Beast.

“Not here?”

The Medusa Odd Beast with green hair, called 'Big Sister' by the green-haired Medusa, remained expressionless.

Her next words sent a chill down Shin'ya and the other Fang Blood Demons' spines.

Big Sister Medusa said coldly, “Since he's not here, let's kill them all.”

Upon hearing this.

Shin'ya and the other Fang Blood Demons forcefully suppressed their fear and raised their weapons to resist.

Facing the actions of Shin'ya and the others, Big Sister Medusa didn't care. She simply added, “By the way.”

“Remember to keep those artisans. The King is quite interested in their little toys......”

“Whoosh!!”

At that moment.

A strong wind suddenly swept through the forest.

“Up there… you guys, look at the sky!”

One Fang Blood Demon exclaimed in alarm.

The others subconsciously looked up…

They saw a majestic castle, as massive as a mountain, flying towards them from a distance!

“That is......”

“Duran Dragon!!”

The Fang Blood Demons were stunned for a moment.

Then they all reacted.

Excitement spread across their faces as they shouted, “That's our Duran Dragon Castle!”

“How did Duran Dragon appear here?”

Unlike the other Fang Blood Demons, Shin'ya frowned.

Since ancient times, the Duran Dragon, their home, had been taken by the Odd Beasts, a constant source of shame for them.

The Fang Blood Demons had always wanted to reclaim it, but… the situation was clearly wrong!

But soon.

Shin'ya suddenly thought of a possibility.

A hint of excitement appeared on her pretty face: “Brother must have succeeded!”

“Wait!”

“Duran Dragon?!”

Compared to Shin'ya's guess, Medusa and the other Odd Beasts were puzzled.

They clearly remembered.

The Duran Dragon Castle was guarded by the Mummy Odd Beast.

The Mummy and Duran Dragon should have been far away, so how could they suddenly appear here… they had never heard of the King giving any orders.

Without the King's orders, how could the Mummy Odd Beast drive the Duran Dragon on its own?

The Duran Dragon quickly answered this question.

“Roar!!”

The Duran Dragon, now close by, roared towards the sky.

Then it opened its ferocious maw towards the legendary Odd Beasts… a terrifying energy gathered like a vortex, forming a blazingly hot, massive fireball, and erupted with a deafening roar!

The giant fireball enveloped the scorching heat, rushing towards them.

Even though they were still in the sky, a series of “crackling” sounds could be heard from below.

Some Fang Blood Demons looked around and discovered that many trees and leaves were curling and turning yellow!

“Hmph!”

Seeing the Duran Dragon's indiscriminate attack, the Gargoyle Legendary Odd Beast snorted coldly.

Without any movement, its figure flashed. Its seemingly heavy body instantly reached the sky and faced the energy beam without any hesitation!

Unlike the other Odd Beasts, each with unique abilities, the Gargoyle had no special abilities.

The reason the Gargoyle became one of the four Kings under the King was simply because of its pure speed and defense!

Except for the King, its speed and defense were unmatched among the four Kings under him, even in the entire Legendary Odd Beast clan… so the Gargoyle had always been proud of it.

It was extremely confident in its speed and defense.

It was so confident that its first thought when facing an attack was not to counterattack or dodge, but to use its extreme speed to charge forward and directly withstand the attack. Then it would enjoy and savor the opponent's bewilderment and the desperate struggles that proved futile!

“Boom!!!”

Amidst the deafening roar of the explosion.

The giant fireball collided with the Gargoyle Odd Beast!

The scorching fireball instantly burst, releasing immense light, heat, and energy.

For a moment.

It seemed like a second sun appeared in the sky.

The dazzling light and heat exploded, and many Fang Blood Demons and Odd Beasts subconsciously raised their hands to block them.

Under the radiance of the “sun”.

The Gargoyle Odd Beast's figure seemed incredibly small, completely swallowed by the flames!

Seeing this.

Many Fang Blood Demons were overjoyed.

They cursed silently, hoping that the Gargoyle Odd Beast would be turned to ashes in this fireball!

However.

When the flames subsided, the many Fang Blood Demons who had been filled with hope were slightly taken aback.

The Gargoyle Odd Beast, reappearing before the Fang Blood Demons and Odd Beasts, maintained its posture of blocking with both arms, with wisps of black smoke rising from various parts of its body. However, its rocky skin was completely unharmed!

Obviously.

The giant fireball had not caused any damage to it!

“Boom!!”

But to the Gargoyle's surprise.

The fireball that the Duran Dragon had spat out was just a feint… the real attack was coming now!

The white knight descended from the sky, delivering a flying kick that ripped through the air like a meteor!

“Boom!!”

Facing the knight's flying kick hidden within the fireball, the Gargoyle seemed unable to withstand it. Its rocky body slammed into the ground like a cannonball, making a loud boom as it smashed a large crater!

“Who is it?!”

This sudden attack startled both Medusa and Mandragora Odd Beast.

But their concern was not for the Gargoyle, but for the attacker.

They were well aware.

The knight's flying kick was swift, but not enough to deal with the Gargoyle.

As expected.

The Gargoyle soon crawled out of the deep pit.

Besides some dirt and dust, its rocky skin remained undamaged.

“This Gargoyle is still so stupid, it has to charge in and take the attack head-on?”

“Sigh, I really don't know why the King chose it to be one of the four Kings. Now it's lost face in front of its subordinates again…”

“......”

However.

As soon as the dusty Gargoyle Odd Beast crawled out, it saw the unmistakable mocking smiles on Medusa and Mandragora's faces… well, Medusa and Mandragora didn't actually say anything. Those words above were all in its own head.

Although it was in its head, the Gargoyle was certain that this was what they thought!

Thinking about this.

The Gargoyle immediately became furious.

“Damn it!!”

The Gargoyle usually didn't like to use its brain.

But it knew that these hateful Medusa and Mandragora had been criticizing it countless times behind its back!

And yet.

The abilities of these two creatures countered it perfectly!

Therefore, even though it was incredibly angry, the Gargoyle couldn't do anything about them.

The anger in its heart couldn't be vented on Medusa and Mandragora, so the Gargoyle Odd Beast could only turn its gaze to the front… the culprit who made it lose face in front of the other Odd Beasts!

......

......

“Big Sister, it's him!”

“It's this guy!!”

As Jiang Li, transformed into Saga, landed.

The green-haired Medusa recognized him instantly and let out a shrill screech!

“Brother!”

At the same time.

Shin'ya ran towards him excitedly.

In Shin'ya's expectant gaze, Jiang Li nodded heavily and smiled, “Mission accomplished!”

Hearing this.

Shin'ya forgot about her excitement.

She immediately reached behind her and took out the black and red, half-finished Dark Kiva belt… no, more accurately, it should be… Kivat Bat the Second!
