Chapter 492 Stepping The Sleeping Dragon's Tail
“100 grade four or above monsters?! Well, it is not too hard.” thought Angus’s group beside the two girls.
After having lunch, they go towards the misty forest again to hunt the monster. Since there is a time limit, they must finish the test as soon as possible. Unlike their initial thought, hunting grade four or above monsters is hard inside the Twilbo Woods.
It is not that the grade four monster in the forest is unique or strong. It is because their number is too few. Although grade four monsters are smarter than those below, they are still weaker than the Angus group.
Besides Eric and the two royal guards, everyone could handle a few ordinary grade four monsters easily on their own.
However, they never thought the number of grade four monsters was too few. When they ventured through the forest last time, they didn’t realize that they had killed too many grade four or above monsters.
Still, it is also not their mistake since most grade four or above monsters are aggressive towards Aunt Extalia and Angus’s group. Fortunately, they are afraid of getting near Mira’s group.
Otherwise, no monster will be left in this misty forest for them to hunt. When the sky darkens, they can only gather around thirty grade four monsters, nowhere near one hundred.
Currently, they are having dinner together and thinking about how to gather another seventy grade four monsters or above before noon tomorrow.
“I think you should consider my offer last time?” asked Darren.
Before they enter the Twilbo forest, Darren suggests he has a way to gather grade four or above monsters. However, Aunt Extalia and Angus refuse his offer directly, much to Eric’s displeasure.
Unbeknown to Eric, Aunt Extalia and Angus realize their dependency on Darren and Mira since the start of the test. Usually, people will not think much about depending on someone stronger and more capable than them.
Unfortunately, Aunt Extalia and Angus are unlike ordinary people. They know better how troublesome having debt against seventh-grade people is. Although the two parties are on friendly terms, Angus and Aunt Extalia realize they should never be too dependent on them.
Otherwise, the Heart Kingdom may receive heavy responsibility in the future to pay for their current actions. Be it Mira, Darren, or the Eternal Kingdom, they will have more power when dealing with the Heart Kingdom in the future.
Hence, Aunt Extalia and Angus decide to not have too much favor or debt towards them. International politics is unlike domestic politics, which could be fixed in a short time or a few months.
Most International politics are many times more dangerous than domestic politics. It needs a lot of consideration because it will decide the whole kingdom’s future. A mistake could doom the entire kingdom or even spark a war between two kingdoms.
According to history, most wars and conflicts between two kingdoms always happen because of silly mistakes controlled by greed.
After thinking for a moment, “How about this? We will try to hunt twenty more monsters. Then, Master Darren could provide the rest.” suggested Angus.
“Alright, I agree.” replied Aunt Extalia.
Then, they continue their hunt inside the misty forest for the rest of the evening. Unfortunately, there’s no nearby monster habitat besides Twilbo Woods. The nearest monster habitat is Dark Forest, but unless it is Darren or Mira, they can’t return before noon tomorrow.
Aunt Extalia may be able to do it with her full speed. However, it also exhausted her and she still needed to hunt the monster inside the Dark Forest.
Although she is categorized as a pseudo-seventh-grade combatant, she is still not a seventh-grade combatant. She doesn’t have their ridiculous mana regeneration ability. In the end, they decide to hunt in the Twilbo Forest for more practical reasons.
Still, the one that does the hunting is only Aunt Extalia and Angus’ group. The two little girls play around the forest like before, with Darren following them. Apparently, the two girls like to play with the strange elephant plant to fly in the air.
The other two groups could even hear the thunderous booming sound a few times today. While Angus’ group continues their search, two Fulross return to the Silverwing Kingdom in a hurry. These two of the last winged race are Urblim and Irun, who offended Darren before.
After being forced to kneel on the ground for a whole day, they can finally move their body, decide to return, and abandon their intention to enter Nirvas.
As an experienced combatant, Urblim knows they must relay this matter to their king before the Eternal Kingdom retaliates. Although the Silverwing Kingdom is strong, they cannot just start a war because of this small matter with the Eternal Kingdom.
Moreover, they still didn’t know Mira’s true identity. Judging by the rumor they heard, The silver-haired girl should be at a seventh-grade level, which makes the Eternal Kingdom have two seventh-grade combatants.
To their surprise, the two Fulross receive news about the Krugguar Emperor deliberately avoiding entering the Eternal Kingdom and choosing to fight against the strong elves and their Emerald Dragon.
“My King, we truly made a mistake. I think we should compensate this new Vampire King.” said Urblim while kneeling in front of his king.
“What are you talking about, Urblim? Although you two somehow offend them, we are not so weak to bow towards that blood-sucking race.” commented the nearby elder.
“No, we truly can’t. At first, I was also confused and undecided, but I am now certain. Before we leave, the Altras examiner completely ignores us despite being our ally. After asking for a little bit, they only say we are stepping on the sleeping dragon’s tail.”
“Moreover, the vault guardian Makar also welcomed their group personally while…” said Urblim.
“Makar?!! Urblim, are you sure it is the Vault Guardian Makar?!!!” yelled the seventh-grade king Farun in a panic tone.
“Err.. Yes, My King.” replied Urblim.
“Why don’t you say that from the start?!! Tch… This is bad. Will our treasure be enough to appease them? What about giving some living sacrifice? Aren’t those vampires like young blood virgins?” muttered King Farun in a depressed tone.
“Err.. My king, why don’t you calm down first and tell us what exactly is happening?” said the nearby elder as everyone heard the pessimistic words from their king.
“Yeah, Father. This is unlike your usual self. What’s so special about this elderly Makar?” chimed Irun beside Urblim.
*BAAAM* Suddenly, Farun hit his foolish son and sent him flying through the capital city. No one knows if he is still alive after receiving a terrifying attack directly.
“What is so special about the Vault Guardian Makar?!! Hahaha… This kingdom is truly done for.” laughed Farun crazedly.
Despite laughing, Farun released his seventh-grade aura without holding back and shook the whole capital city of Silverwing Kingdom.
“It is already a miracle that both of you can still return here alive. Even if I was there, I could only become nothing but a dead corpse in front of them.”
“Let me make this clear to all of you. Even if all the strongest kingdoms in Firuman join the force, we may never beat Makar. Much less people that he welcomes personally. Now, tell me how you want to fight something capable of beating a seventh-grade combatant easily?” said the Fulross king.
Seeing everyone silent at such a revelation, “Hahahah… This kingdom is truly done. Urblim, my dear brother, did you know why that new vampire king decided to release you with only little punishment?” asked Farun as he grabbed his brother.
Urblim shakes his head while in a pale white face.
“It is because he didn’t care, my brother. He didn’t care about our lives. To him, we are nothing but a small harmless insect that they could squash anytime.” said King Fulross.
The Fulross King gripped his fist in the air. A moment later, this Fulross King’s air grip destroys part of their current room.
“Just like I could destroy this room easily, they could also do it to our country. Let me remind you that every seventh-grade combatant in the world knows better than to offend people worthy of the Vault Guardian’s respect. We are on our own in this matter.” said Farun coldly.
While the Silverwing Kingdom is in chaos because of their prodigy offense, another kingdom also has a serious emergency meeting. The Evada Kingdom is a small kingdom near the Heart Kingdom. Usually, this small kingdom is suitable prey for other big kingdoms nearby to invade.
Even if they didn’t have a lot of natural resources on their land, it was still good for other kingdoms to make on their own. Fortunately, this small kingdom is protected by the Blirin religious group who worship the God of Purity Bliasm.
Unlike other religious groups, Blirin often uses radical movements and labels their enemy as a heretic. With some manipulation and a good approach, Blirin totally controls the Evada kingdom government.
The Blirin want to use Evada as their base to spread their influence towards nearby kingdoms in this region. Unfortunately, they underestimate the other kingdom’s vigilance. Moreover, the people in this region didn’t like the discrimination movement like Blirin did.
The four big kingdoms such as Heart, Nergal, Tascar, and Hascua, even barred them from entering their kingdom because of their radical movement.
