Jianyung was surprised, he looked down at those that tried to stop him, four people had showed up, only four.
Before he and his other two sect members, who were all Rank 3 mounting Rank 4 beasts with ancient beast bloodlines, it was a joke, especially because there was no Rank 4 within their ranks, only Rank 3!
Tisha, Pekora, Benlah, and Laddan might had gotten way too cocky! Did they seriously and realistically believed they could stand a chance against them? Maybe they were escaping, but that wasn't because they were weak, it was simply a strategic retreat! Yes, that! Jianyung and his two sect member allies were not coward nor afraid of battle, they simply wanted to retreat strategically to come back later at a later date and beat them all up with more shadow beasts at their side!
Meanwhile the foolish Tisha, Pekora, and Benladann's parents had come here and actually just got in front of them? Yes, they might have the power to defeat large armies of Rank 3 creatures, but they should really check their own power levels, it was impossible for someone at Rank 3 to defeat powerful Rank 4 beasts such as the ones they were mountain, which even possessed ancient mythical beast bloodline from someone as legendary as Jormungandr!
"You dare get in our way?! Are you actually insane? You four are still Rank 3! Rank 3 cannot stand a chance against our powerful Rank 4 Beasts! You're courting death by coming in front of us so arrogantly! Maybe you defeated the army of Shadow Beasts, but that doesn't mean that you're miraculously strong enough to defeat us, not even in your dreams!" he roared.
"You're going to just die miserably then!"
"Foolish idiots!"
Tisha looked at the three that spoke dead serious. She seemed to not be taking any king of shit from them and was rather tired of their presence already.
"If you're so high and mighty, can you explain us why you were running away like chickens?" she asked.
The three suddenly felt a chill run through their spines, even as ice giants they knew how strong she was… after all she had beheaded mercilessly three of their members already, she wasn't afraid of doing it again if she could… her blade was hungry for more blood after all.
"Yeah, I don't understand why you were running away if you were going to end up being so strong? It was almost as if you were telling us "We are weak, please come follow us and kill us!"… Seriously, did you really thought we would stand there and let you walk away? Even with Rank 4 Beasts, so what?" asked Pekora. She was still merged with Aki, and after absorbing a few hundred mana stones, she was back up to full Mana as well, her power was overflowing from her body as golden fur covered several areas of her petite body, thunder and light emanated from her body like a yellow-gold aura…
"My son-in-law is Rank 4, and I've sparred with him several times, compared to his might, these three little snakes don't look that bad." Said Laddan, Benladann's father. His entire presence emanated a strong pressure, his entire body was like that of a titan more than a giant. His aura was red and powerful, filled with fiery might, that of Strength and War. His muscles and his entire body were simply enhanced to completely new levels thanks to this powerful Aura. He felt like a completely different person than he usually was! This was the power… the amazing power of his strength, the power he had cultivated until now after being revived by Drake.
"I am not afraid of some poison from them… We have gathered enough strength, and we got backup coming right here, you're surrounded, and we only have to buy time at most, but if we manage to kill you before the backup, don't blame us… We simply wouldn't had been able to contain ourselves…" said Benlah, Benladann's mother. Her entire presence emanated a strong and toxic, purple-colored mist-like aura, which continuously expanded around her, fusing with the coldness of her ice, which she materialized into an ice bow… this powerful ice and poison emanated from her body like a stream of cold toxicity that even made her surroundings corrosive… all this time she had developed the power gifted by her Poison Dragon Mark to such an amazing level the same way her husband developed the War Dragon Mark!
"You're really foolish to think you can even buy time… Fine, I'll amuse you with the amazing power of these beasts! (Hah! As if they were going to even put a good fight, maybe you were strong against the mobs, but against us?! There's no chance at all… this will be an easy, easy way to get some sacrifices at the end, and we'll also severely weaken the enemy side by taking down their "generals"… heheheh…)" laughed Jianyung while thinking an entire malicious plot internally. He had not realized that he was also a Rank 3 like them, but somehow thanks to the beast he was taming, he thought of himself superior and above those of the same Rank, a truly foolish thought.
"Go for it, Snake!"
"Kill them off!"
"GRYYSHAAA!"
"GROAR!"
"HISSSS!"
The three gigantic snakes rushed towards their targets, jumping off the ground like springs as they were coiled up at that moment, their entire bodies emanating strong shadow auras that overwhelmed any enemy! The enormous auras they had formed a domain which was made up of their combined auras put up together… such an incredible might was not comparable to many other things, and these deadly snakes were about to slay them for good!
The monstrous creatures rushed forward and unleashed their domains and auras of shadows over their enemies, while Tisha, Pekora, Laddan, and Benlah, also unleashed their Auras and let them encompass their bodies, as their powerful spells and techniques combined together into wonderful attacks! Pekora was the first one to react with her lighting speed, unleashing three rays of light and blinding the snakes in a matter of a split of a second!
