Even Gabriel could clearly feel that aura. He took a few steps back, frowning. He already intended to meet the Beast Overlords. However, to find out that they were instead coming here to him, it was somewhat surprising.
But he knew he had to be prepared for whatever was to come. Gabriel took a deep breath and focused his energy, ready to face the Beast Overlords if needed.
He was even prepared to escape if it was needed. However, for some reason, he had a feeling that this wasn't all bad, especially since he still couldn't feel any hostility at all.
It was just that the aura of these Beasts was so strong that it was intimidating.
Most of the people in this place couldn't leave since they had to wait for the youngsters inside the Shadow Garden to come out first.
The Stein Clan was different. They had no burden and they were already on their ships. They could leave at any time.
A mental transmission fell in Gabriel's ears, coming from the Stein Clan Head, who told him to sneak inside their ship while everyone was distracted, so they could leave this place.
Gabriel couldn't help but glance in the direction of the Stein Clan Ship. He could still see many hostile gazes. However, the Stein Family Head was still telling him to leave with him, before the Beast Overlords arrived to this place.
Unfortunately for him, Gabriel didn't want to leave yet. He had to meet the Beast Overlords first.
"You all leave. I still have something I need to finish. I'll return to the Clan as soon as I'm done."
The Stein family head frowned, not understanding why Gabriel was being so foolish. It was the only opportunity they had to escape. He tried once again, but Gabriel kept ignoring him.
Because of that, he couldn't leave either. The middle aged man didn't know if Gabriel managed to recover the Inheritance or not, but he had a feeling that the young man had succeeded.
'Argh, At least give the legacy to us! We'll keep it safe!' the man further stated, as the ship started rising in the air.
Gabriel couldn't help but smile in amusement. These guys were still so focused on the legacy, even in a situation like this.
But he knew that their pursuit of the legacy would never end. He also had no interest in giving the Book to them, since it was more advanced than anything they ever knew. If anything, to thank them, he was willing to share some knowledge about the Ancient Golems that could help them. But not yet.
"I don't have the Legacy yet," Gabriel replied to the middle aged man. "That's why I need to stay here. There's a chance that I might get it. However, that'll depend on luck."
"So you all should leave. If I find it or not, I'll come to the Stein Clan personally."
The middle aged man had no choice. He could only nod understandingly.
He signaled to his companions to leave. The longer he stayed, the more dangerous it could be. As for Gabriel, he had a feeling that the young man had skills needed to protect himself.
Gabriel watched the ship rise, and the Stein Clan departed until they were out of sight.
The other clans kept cursing the Stein Family for being so cowardly that they were escaping. However, at the same time, they all knew that they would've done the same thing if they didn't have to stay behind!
Unfortunately, something happened that surprised all of them.
The Stein Clan Ship hadn't traveled far, when a terrifying aura descended on the ship.
A mythical creature with angel-like wings appeared before the Stein Clan Ship, as if blocking their path.
The person appeared somewhat of a human, but now quite. He had the body of a human, but instead of hands, he had eagle-like claws.
The aura around that man was something that could make many low ranking members of the Stein Clan feint at his sight.
The creature spoke in a booming voice, "Turn back! No one is leaving!"
The Stein Family Head frowned. However, he could also feel other auras nearby. If there was a fight, then this wasn't good for them at all.
He decided to play it smart and calmly replied, "We mean no harm. We only wish to pass. Is there any way we can come to a peaceful agreement?"
"Return where you were! No one shall leave!" The winged creature spoke, as he raised his hand.
He brought a single finger down, creating an arc of dark energy that shot straight toward the ship. It was so strong that it could destroy the ship easily.
Fortunately, the dark energy didn't hit the ship, and just flew past it!
The arc of dark energy hit the mountain in the distance, splitting an entire mountain in two halves.
Ulesis looked at the destroyed mountain in the distance, stunned.
"This is the strength of a Beast Overlord?" She frowned.
It was clear that this guy alone could destroy their ship, let alone if the other Overlords joined.
They had no choice but to listen to them and turn around. In any case, if they wanted to kill them, they could've already done that.
The Stein Clan Ship that had almost managed to leave the Beast Region turned around, returning toward the Shadow Garden.
However, this time, the Beast Overlord flew next to them.
The Stein Family Ship landed at the same place from where they had left. However, this time, all their faces looked down.
The other clans were enjoying the scene with amused glances. However, they also knew that this wasn't the time to enjoy, as one of the Beast Overlords had arrived with the ship, and others were on the way.
The Eagle-like Beast Overlord glanced at everyone present there, but he particularly focused on the girl from the Northern Dragon Clan. He also glanced at Gabriel, looking at him carefully. A look of intrigue flashed in his eyes.
