Chapter 710: Unacceptable
ROAR!!!
The dark torrent exploded, creating a dust-filled blast that ravaged the land within a ten-meter radius, forming a deep pit that engulfed the Beast King's figure.
Mira, having reverted to her human form, sat on the ground with her hair in disarray, panting as if she had just endured a vigorous workout. Her face flushed, she remained seated in a duck-like position, momentarily unable to stand due to excessive magical exhaustion.
"Is... is it over?"
Mira panted as she gazed toward the area where the Beast King had been.
She had exhausted her magic, unleashing all her power in that final assault. Surely, that should have been enough to take down the Beast King. A monster like that shouldn't have withstood her furious attack.
But.
Just as this thought crossed Mira's mind, a furious roar erupted from within the cloud of darkness and dust.
"ROAR!!!"
The battered Beast King let out a defiant roar, its gaze fixed on the sky.
It hadn't been defeated yet! Accompanying this roar was a small surge of magic, not particularly violent, indicating that it, too, had suffered significant magical exhaustion and was running on fumes.
However, the problem now was that even with its magic nearly depleted, the Beast King's pure physical prowess remained incredibly formidable!
Much like dragons! Even when their magic is exhausted, humans without dragon-slaying magic find it impossible to breach their scales. While the Beast King wasn't as terrifying as a dragon, it still possessed an incredibly robust physique!
As the roar echoed, the Beast King emerged from the pit created by Mira's bombardment, its ferocious and angry eyes fixed on Mira. It took menacing steps toward her, exuding a killing intent.
"Oh no, this is bad."
Mira's pupils constricted as a hint of panic flashed across her face when she saw that the Beast King was still standing. She tried to stand, bracing herself with her hands on the ground, but as she lifted her hips, her arms gave way, and she plopped back down.
Ouch!
She had accidentally sat on a protruding stone, causing her pain, but at that moment, she had no time to dwell on it. Her eyes darted anxiously toward the approaching Beast King, and she scooted backward, her face betraying a hint of fear.
"Be careful, sister!"
Lisanna and Elfman, who had been watching from a distance, were startled by Mira's perilous situation. Lisanna cried out and immediately charged forward, her teeth clenched in determination.
As the Beast King advanced toward Mira, Lisanna leaped into the air, her feet transforming into cat claws. She kicked out, aiming for the Beast King's shoulder.
BOOM!
Her kick landed on the Beast King's shoulder, but due to Lisanna's fragile magic, it failed to inflict any significant damage.
Nonetheless, this attack successfully diverted the Beast King's attention away from Mira, drawing its angry gaze toward Lisanna.
"ROAR!!!"
The Beast King roared and lunged at Lisanna.
Elfman's face reflected his fear, but seeing Lisanna in danger, he steeled himself and rushed forward to join her in battling the Beast King.
However, the Beast King's strength was formidable. Despite its depleted magic, its resilient body proved too much for the two siblings to handle, and they were quickly overwhelmed.
"No, Lisanna, Elfman, you can't take it on alone!"
Mira, witnessing their struggle, grit her teeth and spoke up, attempting to stand once more. But her efforts were in vain as her body remained weak and unsteady.
Just then, Lisanna found herself in a perilous situation, trapped within the Beast King's massive claw. She struggled desperately but couldn't break free.
Buzz!!!
Since the Beast King's magic power was nearly depleted, relying solely on its robust physique to suppress Lisanna and Elfman, it couldn't resist Elfman's Requip Magic.
Accompanied by a flash of light, Elfman's body rapidly absorbed the Beast King, expanding segment by segment until he transformed into the Beast King's massive form!
"...Requip?"
Mira, watching from a distance, inhaled sharply. However, instead of relaxing, her eyes reflected increased tension and worry. "Can Elfman control the Beast King's soul?"
Although Elfman had received the Beast King's soul due to its depleted magic, the Requip Magic required a strong will from the user to suppress the original soul of the Beast King!
The Beast King was not defeated yet!
It had been received by Elfman while still retaining its undefeated spirit. In this situation, if Elfman couldn't suppress the Beast King's soul, he would, instead, fall under the control of the Beast King's consciousness!
"ROAR!!"
Indeed, as expected.
Elfman's will and magic were insufficient to suppress the Beast King's soul and magic. After receiving the Beast King, he immediately went berserk, taking on the Beast King's form and letting out a furious roar as he gazed up at the sky.
Elfman, having lost his self-awareness, slowly lowered his head and looked in Mira's direction. Anger flashed in his eyes, and he took menacing steps towards her, raising his claw.
"Elfman, brother?"
Lisanna, having escaped the perilous situation, paused briefly before quickly realizing that something was amiss with Elfman. Her heart skipped a beat.
She shouted at the Beast King-like figure of Elfman, but he paid her no heed and continued to advance towards Mira.
"No, don't!"
Lisanna's pupils constricted slightly, and she gritted her teeth as she dashed towards Elfman, blocking his way and spreading her arms wide. "Elfman, brother, I'm Lisanna. She's Mira, our sister. Don't you remember? Let's go home together."
Mira, seeing this unfold, had a bad feeling and couldn't help but shout, "Lisanna! Be careful!"
But she was a step too slow.
The Beast King-like Elfman swung his claw and viciously struck Lisanna, sending her flying as if she were a piece of paper.
After hitting Lisanna, Elfman paused for a moment, as if realizing what he had done. His pupils constricted, his movements became stiff, and he let out a series of anguished cries, looking up at the sky.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
His consciousness clashed with the Beast King's soul, and under the intense stimulation, he completely shattered the Beast King's soul. However, his own consciousness also weakened and dissipated, causing his body to rapidly shrink until he finally returned to his human form and collapsed to the ground.
Mira, left sitting powerless on the ground, covered her mouth with her hand, staring at her younger brother Elfman, who sat helplessly nearby, and her sister Lisanna, who had been struck flying to a distant location with unknown injuries. She froze, unable to accept this turn of events.
