Chapter 1795: 24.56 Sixth Violet Star - Severing Contracts
A huge yet beautiful black fox with ninetails appeared in the center of the human city. His fur is like an obsidian, like a carpet of pure darkness, yet it had a tint of golden glow under the light. Those pair of fox eyes were narrowly staring at everything in the area as if staring mischievously at his targets with mirth at the depths of his silvery irises.
The God of Destruction spoke, "Beasts who want to sever the contract walk towards me."
This ethereal yet cold voice resounds in the whole area. Humans wanted to move but were too dazed to even react. As for the beasts, those who wanted to remove their contracts with the humans stood up and ran towards the huge ninetailed fox.
At first, everyone was mesmerized but what comes next blows their mind out. They watch as this huge wolf suddenly transforms into his beastman form. An otherworldly, beautiful teenager with black fox ears on his head, with nine foxtails moving from behind, wearing a white robe and holding a crimson color death scythe in his hand. His phoenix-shaped eyes move on the living with a mischievous smile, he said.
"It will be over soon. Don’t move," said the God of Destruction.𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Before anyone could react the crimson scythe enlarged and swung at everyone in the vicinity. They had seen how they were cut abruptly by the God of Destruction. The feeling of being cut and seeing it with their eyes made those who had experienced it question life. They didn’t even have time to scream.
Others were waiting for their deaths but felt that nothing was wrong with them after waiting for a long time.
Vega commented, "Was it a fake blade?"
"Fake blade? See for yourself," said Mo Minkong as he threw a branch of wood towards the scythe blade and it was instantly cut cleanly into half. There isn’t even a sound of it hitting anything. It was like it just passed through the blade and was cut to half.
HISS!
"But... There is no wound?" Haerin asked while looking at the gorgeous fox man smiling at him.
Hei Anjing said, "My blade only cuts what I desire to cut. I have no intention of killing anyone. Why would there be deaths?~"
"It only cuts what you desire... then is what you had cut the contract between humans and beasts?" Heri asked.
When these words were spoken everyone looked at the beast masters and summoned beasts who were forced into contract. As expected the chains of contract between them had materialized.
"Huh? Just as I thought you are... Fake..."
"Ah! Look at the chains between the beast masters and the beasts!"
Clangs~
As chains that hang and connect the beast masters and his summon beast were cut into half and fell on the ground until the contract itself was no more. The first one to feel it were the forced beasts. They started howling in happiness while the humans suffered a backlash of suffering weakening temporarily.
Howls~
Caws~
"W-What is this?! My body... feels numb!"
"M-Me too."
"I can’t move... What is happening?!"
Haerin asked in surprise, "What is wrong with them?"
"Illegal contracts usually target the beasts even after they are severed. How come the beast masters were the ones suffering?" Long Tian mumbled.
Then they recalled something and looked at the ninetail fox in his human form. As expected they saw him smiling.
"Do you expect me to watch the beast I just freed be captured again? Let them suffer for a few hours, they would be able to move an hour later," said Hei Anjing. He is obviously saying these words to the human marshal.
Then he looked at the beasts and smiled at his father, Mo Minkong, who understood what he wanted him to do.
"Go back to the Barren Lands."
It was a command from the beast god which none of these beasts can defy. After kowtowing before the beast king, the Ninetailed Fox, the freed beasts all run towards the barren lands. There were some beast masters who wanted to catch them. However, the playful voice of the Ninetailed Beast King once again resounded in the area and even a few words deprived them of their movements.
"Do not move~"
"Like I said, my ones who are bestowed with freedom, cannot be moved in my presence. I suggest for you not to move. This time I will kill anyone who chases after those little ones~" The God of Destruction said.
WHOOSH!
THUD!
He slashed down his scythe and a clean and wide cut appeared on the cemented and enhanced road. They watch as the mischievous ninetailed fox stood nonchalantly at the handle of his death scythe.
The threat in his word cannot be ignored despite his playful demeanor. Now all humans were terrified of them. There are those who were overwhelmed by fear. But thankfully they were stopped and taken away by their friend before offending the being in front of them.
In the end, Long Tian, the current marshal, took the lead in the conversation and stepped in to stand before the mischievous beast king and beast god.
Marshal Long Tian asked, "May I ask the esteemed Beast King why you have appeared in the city of humans?"
"Me? I only come here with my gege and papa to tour the human city. Well, I can say that your food is quite a variety. I like it~"
"Also, it’s an unexpected gain. You can add the reason for bringing home my uncle, Heri. With how the situation between the beastmen and the humans are, uncle and his family can no longer stay in this human city. You’ve seen it for yourself. Humans who have hatred for the massacre half a year ago caused them to bear some hatred in their hearts."
"But, they weren’t the only ones. All the beastmen who lost their beastmen eggs and cubs that day bear the same hatred. So, neither can be truly blamed for this outcome. But... I hope you don’t forget. The first ones who had crossed the line are you humans. It’s always been you. Isn’t the war against the beast race also caused or initiated by you as well?"
The words of the young beast king were like daggers stabbing the hearts of the humans in the area, especially the ones from the upper echelons of the human race.
After all, the real reason why the beast race had started a war against the humans is because one of the noble clan’s descendants wanted to catch a beast king’s cub and ended up killing it. It was because humans are greedy that they are suffering for it.
Silence~
Seeing the humans speechless, Hei Anjing lost interest in them and returned to his cub form yawning. He was caught by Ye Xiajie who immediately hugged him. The Sovereign God of Void and Darkness only has his eyes for his beloved. The Marshal stared at the other cub who didn’t make a move all alone and appeared out of nowhere without him noticing anything.
He heard him murmuring, "Sigh~ too reckless. Your body isn’t completely adult yet and you’re using your inherent skills without care. Is there even a need to protect the beasts? The weak are meant to die. Jing’er, you are simply too kind."
The current marshal shivered when he heard from a cub that is a bare one year old speaking death with such indifference. But he can truly feel that this cub doesn’t care about the weak. He is much more dangerous than the smiling one from before.
Long Tian’s thoughts: ’If I can kill them here, dying would be worth it.’
However, before he could even move he saw the silver haired cub looking at him with silver eyes flashing with crimson. A surge of darkness appeared from under his feet. This darkness is like shadows that had gained life. It feels surreal and extremely dangerous. But for some reason it instantly disappeared and saw the cub snort at him. Long Tian instinctively took a step back by meeting those eyes.
"If you had made a move all of you aside from our side would have died. Be thankful to the seniors who are willing to speak up for you."
The Sovereign God of Void and Darkness didn’t attack and just attempted it. In reality, he was about to but stopped at the last moment. He walks towards their father, Mo Minkong who picked up his cubs and looked at Vega and his family.
Mo Minkong said, "It’s time to go home."
"Home? Where are we going, uncle?" Haerin asked.
Mo Minkong lightly pats the head of the young lady and says, "Ancient Forest."
"Come. Dad’s brother should be waiting for us," said Heri with a smile and held his daughter’s hand.
Mo Minkong walks towards the direction of the ancient forest. But to reach that place, they need to once again walk through the market place. This time the usually boisterous street of the market had turned quiet and all humans avoided them. With the beast god in the lead no one dares to block their path. Heri, Vega and Haerin closely followed after them.
