Chapter 577 The Outcome
"Well, they are certainly an anomaly. Even Master couldn't even read their fate." said Darren.
"Hoh.. Hoh… So, that's why the Master hidden in the dark was interested in them. Hoh.. Hoh.." chimed Makar.
"Hm.. I believe that's not the case. Maybe Master was bored and decided to play with them on a whim. My Lady often did this in the past whenever she found someone interesting."
"However, it is clear Lady Anna is Master's friend. I hope you know what it means. Alright, I will go back first. It is hard to maintain long-distance projection." said Darren before disappearing.
"Hoh.. Hoh.." replied Makar with a smile.
Meanwhile, Alder finally relieved himself from being the monster's punching bag. Currently, the monster is looking weak and unable to launch any decent attack. Its soul-shattering magic eyes also close tightly.
Nabe and the Duchess also notice this change from far away. The Red Queen immediately approaches Alder and gathers a large amount of mana to end the monster in one attack.
Noticing the mana fluctuation from Nabe, the monster tries to claw its way toward Nabe for its final struggle. Fortunately, Extalia and Alder are nearby, ready to hold the monster. *Bang* The monster's claw hit against Crimson Flash's greatsword and Alder's thick scale.
At this moment, the monster's mouth opens and shoots [Miasma Blast] all over the place. Extalia immediately moves away from the mouth, leaving only Alder behind to hold against the indiscriminate attack. *BOOOM* *BOOOM*
Unlike the previous [Miasma Blast], the attack is many times weaker and couldn't even scratch Alder's scale. Still, it is quite deadly for other people because of the miasma potency.
"That's quite a surprise, but it is finally end." said Alder while looking at the monster.
The monster looks very weak and can't even move anymore after launching [Miasma Blast]. Suddenly, Alder noticed a bright complex magic circle appear behind him.
"Rer Mor Aso No Kayo!! [6th Circle - Maroon Convergence]." yelled Nabe.
Many big crystallized rubies appeared from the magic circle and created a formation. In the center of the formation is a bright shiny orb. In the blink of an eye, the shiny orb's light is reflected by all the crystallized ruby.
The reflected lights gather together in a large ruby crystal before turning into a large shiny red beam toward the monster. The whole process looks very complex and lengthy, but it happens instantly. Even Alder barely escaped from the red beam path after the appearance of red crystals.
"Fuck!! That's hot!!" complained Alder as the red beam hit part of his body.
Fortunately, it didn't affect him too much besides leaving a small charred mark on his scale. On the other hand, the monster is completely gone without leaving even ash. The spell didn't even create any explosion, only leaving a sizzling sound on the ground.
"Tch… Not even a wound." grumbled Nabe after seeing that the lizardman didn't even get hurt under such a spell.
"Heii.. What's the meaning of that?" yelled Alder.
"Shut up, stupid lizard!! It's all your fault!!" blamed Nabe.
"How can it be my fault? I didn't do anything." asked Alder.
"If I said it is your fault, it means it is your fault!! Besides, men are always wrong. Hmph!!" said Nabe.
"Whatt.. What kind of logic is that?!" said Alder.
"It is common sense. Men are always wrong. Women are always right." said Nabe rightfully.
"Ehem… I am sorry to interrupt your flirting time. But I think we should continue searching for the little monster. The barrier is already down." interrupted Extalia.
"W-Who's flirting with this stupid lizard!!" said Nabe shyly before walking away.
Fortunately, her red skin covered her blush. Otherwise, the two other people will notice her blush and embarrassing gesture. Alder didn't say anything but followed Nabe while Extalia only shook her head.
After having a girl's talk with Nabe for a few hours, she notices Nabe has zero experience with romance. The Duchess was even surprised when she heard the Red Queen is still preserving her innocence regarding sexual relationships.
No one will believe the mass murder inventor is actually still pure. In fact, everyone always thought of her as some kind of lusty bitch since she likes to tease everyone. This is also the reason she is called the Red Queen in the first place.
A day has passed since the capital city turned into a dungeon. Currently, many Altras stand by outside the capital city, waiting for the final result of their rebellion. A day may be a short time for a revolutionary act.
However, this is a magical world where everyone has superhuman strength. All the fights in other cities already ended a long time ago. With planned sneak attacks from the inside, it is easy for the Seven Faces group to eliminate all the important figures.
Unfortunately, these people didn't realize that they were also used by the Seven Faces leader to kill the elders. Although most rebels are fed up with the government and elders' policy, they don't know that Seven Faces' leader is actually a group of women.
After long years of indoctrination, most Altras believe that female Altras are lesser than male Altras. Even the majority of female Altras also feel this is normal. Female Altras will be sacrificed in the Maroon Festival if they try to fight this ideology.
Therefore, no one knows that Seven Faces' leader is a group of female Altras trying to survive and change their norm. Initially, the Seven Faces leader plans to replace the elder with them before slowly changing their way of thought and law for the female Altras.
Unfortunately, their plan didn't go well. Most of the Seven Faces' leaders are bound and receive heavy injuries. On the other hand, the Elders are also not far better.
The only surviving Elders are Yawan, Jojin, Razi, and Tedar. One is impaled to the ground, while the rest is on the brink of death from constant fighting and mana deficiency. Unlike humans, Altras' mana deficiency state is a more dangerous condition.
Everyone knows Altras' regeneration and shapeshift innate ability is using mana to manipulate their body.
However, the Altras actually also use mana to move their body normally. Without mana, their body is unable to work properly. In some sense, mana is like blood for them.
Therefore, the three elders are actually on the brink of death. Without additional mana supply, their body will slowly degrade and die.
Angus and the embassy healer also notice this state. But, they lack any medical equipment to help the three elders properly. Angus may be able to create something to stabilize their condition. Still, he is not obligated to do more than supply some potion and heal their wounds.
He is more curious about the Seven Faces Disgust. During the battle, Angus notices her strength is only fifth grade. However, she actually expends more mana than the three elders combined.
Although the three elders are not in their best state, they are still at the level of pseudo-seventh grade. People at this level have high mana regeneration and are experts at mana control. They could use their mana efficiently and reduce any excess mana.
Yet, the Seven Faces Disgust still looks fine after the battle while the three elders are on the brink of death.
"Hmm… I wonder if it is related to her black suit and mask since she never takes it off, even during her rest." muttered Angus.
During this moment, Angus feels a murderous intent from his side.
"Angus!!" called Jayna coldly.
"Err.. Jayna, is something wrong?" asked Angus with cold sweat.
"Hmph!! Stupid Angus!!" said Jayna while pouting.
"Haha.. You know I only love you, right? No matter how many women come to me. I will only choose you." said Angus while hugging Jayna.
"Angus and Big sis are going to mate?" asked Anna from the side while munching monster core like popcorn.
"Anna, don't say that in public!!" rebuked Jayna while blushing.
Seeing their interaction, Angus could only shake his head before glancing back at Seven Faces Disgust. As a master combatant, he knows the woman is strong and talented.
Her condition differs from Brigida, who reached her current level through hard work. Angus feels she is more like Jayna from a few years ago. The female Altras is brimming with raw talent like a rough diamond.
"Well, it doesn't matter. It is not my problem anymore. Anyway, we should focus on…" said Angus before stopping and looking in a certain direction.
At the same time, Jayna and Anna also turn silent and look in the same direction as Angus.
"Angus, what is it?" asked Jayna worriedly.
Unlike Angus, she could only feel three strong people coming in their direction from one of the cave paths. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"That's…" said Angus.
Before he could finish his sentence, a flash of red light appeared before someone hugged them tightly.
"Kids, you are okay, right?" asked Duchess Amberblaze in worry.
At the same time, they also find Nabe and Alder not far from them. *HIISHH* a loud hissing sound was heard from Onyx while glaring at Alder and Nabe.
"Wooaah… Isn't that Zokline?!! How come that kind of ancient beast is here?" commented Alder.
