World Of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats!
/ World of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats! Chapter 256 – Intruders!
“If it's such a big matter, why haven't you reported it to the main city of Pavas?”
Locke glared at the man with sharp eyes and asked in a stern voice.
There was such an obvious loophole in the man's words. It was clear that the man held other intentions. His crashing into Locke's room was no coincidence.
Seemingly frightened by Locke's imposing manner, the man explained with a panicked expression, “The main city of Pavas didn't respond even after several attempts to contact them from our city lord. We have no choice but to take this matter into our own hands.”
'Pavas didn't respond!?'
Locke and Hathaway were stunned for a moment.
They clearly did not expect things would turn out this way.
The main city should lend a helping hand when their cities were suffering. Many cities on this continent had tacitly agreed to this rule.
In this moment, a trace of viciousness flashed through the man's eyes.
He seized the opportunity when Locke and Hathaway were stunned and mentally contacted his pet.
“Roar!”
A fierce beast's low roar came from outside the window.
“Whoosh!”
A wave of heat washed over Locke and Hathaway, causing their skin to throb with burning pain.
Locke and Hathaway came back to their senses and immediately turned their heads to look outside the window.
They saw an ugly lion flapping its wings and hovering in the air not far away.
Moreover, the lion spat out a pillar of flames at Locke and Hathaway.
The flame was extremely destructive. The moment it touched the window, everything around it turned into ashes.
At the same time, a screen appeared in Locke's line of sight.
It was the system's unique beast panel. It was also a function of the system after the small upgrade, and Locke was the only one who could see the screen.
[ Battle Beast Name: Flaming Lion ]
[ Battle Beast Rank: Purple (excellent)]
[ Battle Beast Type: Combat Series ]
[ Battle Beast Attribute: Fire ]
[ Battle Beast Level: Stage 1, Level 9]
'You dare attempt to assassinate me with a mere Stage 1 beast?'
Locke derided him coldly in his heart, and then he shouted, “Divine Dragon!”
“Roar!”
A thunderous dragon's roar rang out and shook its surroundings.
The terrifying sound turned into ripples, scattering the flames spat out by the Flaming Lion.
The soundwave had shaken the intruder, and blood was spewing from his seven orifices.
“Roar!”
After being hit by the sound waves, the Flaming Lion that was circling outside, let out a miserable cry. It flapped its wings weakly twice, and then crashed.
“Pu!”
At the same time, the man felt a sweet taste in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He looked at Locke in shock, unable to believe that he had been defeated in an instant.
One had to know that he was about to be promoted to captain in the imperial guards. He was the strongest among his companions.
Moreover, he had launched a sneak attack. His chances of success should have been higher.
Unless his opponent been high tier Beastmaster, he would not have been defeated this easily.
Nevertheless, the fact remained that he had lasted less than a second to the young man before him,
“Who the hell are you…”
Using his last bit of strength, the man uttered those words and crumpled onto the ground.
“HMPH!”
Locke snorted coldly and slowly walked up to the man. He spat, “Speak, who ordered you to assassinate me? !”
Locke did not summon his Divine Dragon earlier. He had merely unleashed a dragon roar, and it was a suppressed version of the ability. After all, had he unleashed its full power, the man would have already perished.
Locke spared his life to interrogate him.
He had not done anything in Mountain City yet. How could he be assassinated.
'Could it be an opponent from the past?'
'But all my enemies from the past are gone. How could they take revenge on me?'
“You monster, I won't tell you even if I die!”
The man gritted his teeth and struggled to say something. Then, his head tilted and he lost his breath.
Locke immediately went forward to inspect the man, only to realize that the man had already bit his tongue and committed suicide.
'A Death Warrior, huh?'
Only Death Warriors would be fearless in the face of death.
Of course, there were also some people who had a firm will to defend a certain person or an important object. Those people would they be fearless in the face of death.
The man seemed to be more inclined to the latter.
'Has my appearance in Mountain City threatened someone?' Locke fell into deep thought.
“How should we deal with him?”
At this moment, Hathaway asked softly.
Although she looked weak on the surface, it was not her first time coming face to face with death.
An enemy dying in front of her would not make her feel uncomfortable.
“Leave it here.” Locke stood up and looked out of the window, “Since someone wishes to take my life, they'll have hell to pay.”
Hathaway was aware that she had also made several enemies in the past, but she too, was clueless as to why they would choose to strike at this moment.
Locke appeared by the window in a flash. He looked back at Hathaway and said, “Let's go. Follow me. Let's find out who's trying to assassinate us.”
“Okay.” Hathaway replied and came to Locke's side.
“Divine Dragon!”
Locke shouted softly.
“Roar!”
A loud dragon roar rang out.
Then, a faint holy light appeared on the surface of Locke's skin.
Streams of clear air emerged from his body and condensed into the outline of a giant dragon that was hundreds of meters tall.
It had wings that blotted out the sun and four limbs that were as thick as heavenly pillars. The eyes of the dragon's head were even more soul-stirring.
“Whoosh~”
The projection spread its wings and set off a fierce hurricane that raged in the surrounding space. The clear air condensed and turned into a dragon with flesh and blood!
“Fly high into the sky!”
Locke grabbed Hathaway's hand and leaped onto the head of the Divine Dragon.
“Roar!”
The Divine Dragon responded with a low roar.
Then, it flapped its wings and flew towards the starry night sky.
“Roar”
“GROWL!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom! …”
On the way, Locke saw many battle beasts wantonly destroying Mountain City, and the sound of explosions could be heard.
Just a few hours ago, Mountain City was unbelievably peaceful, but in the next moment, many explosions rocked the city, lighting up the dark night sky and making the city as bright as day.
“There are really many Daemons invading…”
Seeing so many places being destroyed, Hathaway could not help but mutter softly.
“Catch the intruders!!”
At this moment, a loud shout came from below.
Locke and Hathaway immediately looked down and spotted someone who seemed to be part of the city guards flying towards them on his Battle Beast.
“Intruders!?”
“US! ?”
Locke and Hathaway were stunned.
When did they become intruders?
Could it be that someone had framed them?
However, they had only been in the mountain city for a mere two hours.
Even if someone wanted to frame them, this was way too abrupt.
However, since they had been framed, Locke and Hathaway could understand why the guard from earlier had tried to assassinate them.
