âI canât possibly let this beast eat any more lotus plants. I have to get them!â
âHow dare you, beast?!â Alex yelled.
He stomped harshly on the ground and leap ed into the air, lunging towards the black beast in the
middle of the pool. In his hand was the Seven Blades of Death, slicing the air with sheer murderous
intent as he formed a shield on the beastâs head.
Just then, the beast finally realized that there were other strangers around the pool. Pausing for a slight
second, it immediately swung its big tail towards Alex.
âKill! Seven Blades of Death!â
Slash!!!
A large wound was sliced across the beastâs face, causing it to bleed profusely. However, the beastâs
tail still managed to hit Alexâs body harshly, sending Alex flying into the pond like a missile.
âAlex!â Waltz shouted in panic, rushing toward the pond to help.
Seeing this, Dorothy stopped her and huffed. âYouâre weak, so are you looking for a death wish? Iâll
help. Maya, take this chance and collect some of those Soul Substitute Lotus Seed now.â
âAlright!â
After placing such orders, Dorothy rushed to join the battle.
Maya, on the other hand, didnât dare to be slow. She immediately activated her Silver Frost powers and
rushed towards the pond, forming ice under her feet to collect some black lotuses.
To her dismay, some smaller beasts leaped out of the pond, lunging toward Maya with their mouths
open. These beasts seemed to be the guardians of the Black Soul Lotus Seed.
If they saw these lotuses as their property, there was no way that they would let anyone lay their hands
on them.
âCareful!â Waltz reminded Maya loudly.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Maya. It was the long-legged beauty, Freya. In her hand was a
dagger, and she was stabbing the small beast brutally.
With this, the beast was sliced in half.
âThanks!â Maya said and started collecting the seeds.
All she wanted to do was pick the seeds out, yet these were different from normal lotuses. Not only
were their stems filled with tiny thorns, but they were also quite tough as well. There was no way that
she could pluck the seeds out with her bare hands.
At the same time, the giant beast roared loudly once more. It had gone mad as soon as it saw Freya kill
its child.
Leaving Alex and Dorothy, it cried and leaped out of the pond, rushing towards Freya.
âCareful!â
âGet away!â
Alex ran over as fast as lightning, using his body as a shield to take the beastâs brute force. He then
took both the Seven Blades of Death and the Sword of the Universe, forming them into one.
âDie!â
After that, its blood filled the pond, and the air was engulfed with a stench of raw fish. However, only
the smaller ones had died. The giant beast had the skin and power to handle the attack.
Alex and Dorothy had to use almost their full power to stall it so that Maya could successfully collect
seeds out of some of the lotuses.
âRoar!!!â the beast cried again.
As it breathed its last, half of its large body ended up on land.
Quincy, Susan, and the others were shocked to their core, their faces extremely pale.
They had never seen such beasts in their lives.
âWhat is this thing even?â
âIâve never seen such a monster. Is it a mutated catfish?â
Dorothy swallowed a pill and said, âNo, thatâs not it. This is a demon.â
âHuh?â
âA demon? Demons actually exist?â
