Chapter 543: [ Beast Wave! (3) ]

—[ Winged Mountain Serpent-Type: Beast, Level: 8 Offense: A+ Defense: AA+ ]—

BOOOOM!!!!

“Wow…” Allen sigh…

The Winged Mountain Serpent passed through the forest, and the forest beneath it was immediately shattered at once. In a flash, one could no longer tell that there had been a vast and wonderful forest standing here before.

Roooaaar!!

Roooaaa!!

Awwwoooohhh!!

The beast’s roar shook the ground.

“What?! What the hell is that monster?!!”

“A giant snake!? Isn’t that more like a Dragon…?!”

“Oh no! We’re going to die! We’re seriously going to die here!!”

“We need to escape now! Escape and run away!!”

The people started panicking, crying and wailing at the sight of true despair. Some people even started turning around immediately and was about to run away, when—

“Hold yourself properly!! And you call yourself cultivators?!” Seeing their unsightly display, Lady Liu Yifei was full of anger. “You can see the monster horde, do you still think that you run away successfully?! Monsters are all around us, even if you managed to escape this place, you will still be surrounded the moment you let down your guard down!”

“““““… …?!!”””””

“It’s impossible to escape, realized that already. To survive, the only way is to fight!” Lady Liu Yifei roared with manly heroism. She was full of valor and bravery of a Hero that it surprised Allen somewhat, who was still standing beside her.

Truthfully, he didn’t really care if all these people run away or not. Humans are a self-centered creature, it was normal for them to think about their security and survival first before other people. He had never expected anything on them, and even was certain that they would choose to run away from here, away from that horde of monsters!

As for him, no way—that was a bulk of Exp calling for him, why would he waste it and throw it away…?

He would be an idiot if he does so!

As for saving them, it was only passing mercy—a conscience of a human being, which was a very important part of being a human. He had strength and capability to save them, and even after realizing all that, he would still not do anything, he really would be then stopping being a human. Thus, he moved and act.

However, this was just nothing but vanity in his part, feeding his ego and self-satisfaction. Whether they would acknowledge it or not, repay it or not, it has nothing to do with him!

And if they leave now and run away, he does not care. He can just rampage with all he wants—even if he was not able to unleash his full power, due to fear of being discovered by the Monster Kings hiding within this world, martial arts and mortal’s magic system is already enough for him—more so, his lightning body…!

Besides, he has his family he can count on and rely on—they are far more dependable and trustworthy than these people~

Even still—seeing such a heroic woman, Allen was now certain of his decision on inviting this lady to the DAWN, she was certainly not just a wallflower…!

“As expected of Lady Liu, the Crimson Moon Lotus! I will help you!!”

As the group was starting to get awkward due to indecisiveness and fear kicking in, suddenly a voice rang out and then, few colorful lights shot from every direction, then landing towards the ground.

“Greetings Lady Liu!!” It was a middle-aged man wearing a long blue robe with intrinsic images of peony flowers engraved on it. His long hair tied in a bun and he had a stylish crowbar mustache along with a quite a long black beard.

A long straight sword with blue colored sheath was hanging around his waist. He placed his fist on his palm and smiled, “…Lady Liu, I’ve heard so much about you. It’s an honor to finally meet you!”

Peony Flowers…? “…Are you, Elder Chen Yutong of the Blue Sky Lake Sect?” Liu Yifei asked, astonished.

“Yes, I’m honored that Lady Liu heard of my name…!”

“No, no, your reputation precedes you, Elder Chen~” Lady Liu smiled warmly as she made a gesture of respect by cupping one hand in the other before her chest as well. “With Elder Chen’s help, I would be quite relieved…”

“Ha ha ha, actually, we are also in a dilemma. Never thought that such a beast wave would suddenly happen without warning—although we surrender to fate and decided to fight back, such number is truly a predicament. Fortunately, we are not alone. We gathered all the people we can find in this mountain to fight, can Lady Liu give us the honor of fighting alongside you…?”

“…Of course!” Lady Liu Yifei’s expression immediately brightened. The people that Chen Yutong had brought with him was not a small number—judging from the crowd, they must be twenty to thirty people, or probably even more, hiding within the forest.

And judging from their dresses and Qi auras, they seemed to be coming from different Sect. And as expected from the chosen ones of every Sect, they exude quite a domineering and reliable presence.

With this…! Lady Liu Yifei clenched her fist in excitement. It seems like there’s really a chance of winning in this troublesome situation—

“Elder Chen’s words sound so sweet in my ears. I thank you for standing with us along this difficulty we are currently facing!”

Seeing Lady Liu Yifei’s polite attitude and sweet beautiful smile, Elder Chen Yutong started laughing in glee.

As Allen was pleasantly surprised by the sudden turn of events, “Young Master Ye…?!” a voice called out. Allen’s head turned towards the source, only to see a group of three, no four people—one female and three men, looking at Allen surprised. Though, aside from surprise, there was also happiness and excitement coming from them.

Oh? These people…. Allen look at the group and immediately recognize them. Isn’t these four people from the Passing Cloud Sect? Though it seems like my dear disciple is not here...

Where the hell is she now?

“Yoh!”

“It really is Young Master Ye!!” The group clamored, and full of smiles as they hurriedly run towards Allen, excited. After all, they know a bit of Allen’s status in the Sect and his ability—judging from the fact that even their Sect Master was being polite towards Allen, they already know that he was not simple at all—and the name Young Master Ye Wushuang, had already heard from every nook and cranny of the Passing Cloud Sect after the commotion he had created in the Lightning Field.

And so, them meeting Allen was a form of relieving and comfort to their tired and anxious mind!

They happily stood beside Allen, all feeling relieved as they chatted and yammer happily.

“Oh? This little brother is…?” Elder Chen Yutong finally realized Allen’s existence. Although he looked like an ordinary disciple from whichever Sect, his clothes were quite unique, even his presence and aura—it’s quite mysterious as even him, he couldn’t see through him at all…!

Although he had seen him a while ago, especially with his appearance and style, it was quite hard for him to be overshadowed by anything. But Chen Yutong just thought that he might be one of Moon Lake Pavilion’s disciples. That is why he was standing beside Lady Liu Yifei, acting and behaving casually—but if he wasn’t mistaken, aren’t these four people from Passing Cloud Sect…?

He had remembered their identities, after all, the current Passing Cloud Sect was like a newborn phoenix trying to spread her wings and fly into the heavens. All because of one mysterious group—DAWN.

He had planned on finding some useful information about this DAWN from them, of course not through forceful means but he can ask when their guards were lowered…!

But to call someone ‘Young Master’ who is this ‘Young Master Ye’? Is he not one of the Moon Lake Pavilion?

There’s almost no interaction between Moon Lake Pavilion and the Passing Cloud Sect, and so, he didn’t believe that the Passing Cloud Sect disciples would greet a mere disciple before greeting someone like Lady Yifei.

Being asked, Allen, turned his head and smiled in response.

“This little brother is Ye…” Lady Liu Yifei knowing Allen’s delicate and sensitive identity, took it upon herself to introduce Allen as to avoid any awkwardness but who would have expected—

…before she could finish what she was saying, Allen beat her first. To the people within the vicinity, including Liu Yifei, Chen Yutong, and even the Passing Cloud disciples surprise, Allen took a step backward, put his left hand at his back, his right hand on his left chest, his right foot before his left foot, and took a gentlemanly bow—

“My name is Ye Wushuang…of DAWN,”

Banggg!! as if an explosion had occurred, all mind turned blank.

All the attention turned towards the handsome youth smiling indifferently, they look silly. Then, as if it was organized, Allen’s black coat suddenly started to distort, and then under stunned gazes, transformed into long, black hooded mantle with red clouds.

From the swaying helm of the mantle due to the breeze, one can see that the mantle had a red interior on it.

Seeing this, almost everyone had a shock of their lifetime.

DAWN.

Isn’t that the group that super powerful guy mentioned just before this trial appeared…?

Allen’s mantle was very distinctive, easily allowing him to be recognized as a co-member of Pain from his group named DAWN to be identified even from a distance.

“You—!!” Chen Yutong stared aghast and dumbstruck from Allen’s big reveal but he was cut off by Allen who frowned and said, “…well, I think pleasantries needed to be cut off here.”

“Eh?”

“Look, they’re here. And there are a lot of them…” Allen narrowed his eyes and the jet black Scythe hanging on his back trembled a bit.

No one knows whether it was the passing breeze or the fact that it was shaking in excitement from able to once again reap lives, countless lives!

Roars and howls rang out from every direction.

Swoosh!

The Winged Mountain Serpent had its eyes on the location of Allen’s group; then it suddenly opened its huge mouth. All of a sudden, an endless amount of energy accumulated in its throat, and a pitch-dark light column was shot out.

Without waiting any longer, the Winged Mountain Serpent struck the first blow and rang the gong of war—!!

Allen frowned, while those who saw it, including Chen Yutong and Lady Liu Yifei, their expression turned unsightly in an instant. They hastily jumped and scattered away, all while shouting and screaming—never even bothered to block it—

Aside from the fact that this black beam was clearly much, much, much stronger than the two-headed Wolf King's attack, Liu Yifei had fought, blocking it as well, is already deemed meaningless. Even if they managed to block it successfully, how much energy and Qi would it take…?

Might as well, dodge it with all one’s might and avoid carelessly spent their energy for the big battle…!

Protecting oneself and dodged it, avoiding a direct hit was the most conservative action!

—is what everyone thought—of course, all aside from Allen who was staring at the expanding black beam coming in his way.

Is that supposed to be a greeting…? Allen grinned.

“Eh?! Little Brother Ye?!”

“…?!!”

“Young Master Ye?!”

At this moment, Lady Liu Yifei and the others who were frantically trying to find a suitable defending place finally noticed someone absent from their group. And when they glanced back, their expressions immediately paled as Allen was there, standing nonchalantly at the place where the black beam of light was certain to hit—!

They cried out one after another and called out but those who were sensible enough hurriedly stopped the others from going back. After all, it was dangerous!

Even Lady Liu Yifei was baffled yet she didn’t turn back.

She stared at Allen, full of wonder and interest as to what kind of surprise does he would give once again…?

Woooosh.

Ten miles of distance was only a matter of a blink of an eye for the attack.

In an instant, the black beam was already less than ten meters away from Allen, and still coming closer every millisecond. Allen grinned and electric sparks immediately discharge from his body—however, when he was about to stop it, suddenly, his chest glowed and a huge opened mouth came out from it, startling even him.

“Wha—?!” The incoming black beam was actually swallowed whole by this large mouth full of blade-like fangs, shocking Allen even further. Then, from the large, gaping maw, it slowly came out from Allen’s chest and when it did, Allen finally recognizes who it was—{Bulan}.

Allen’s tamed beast; the Bakunawa he had caught in the Philippines during his fight with the Dirt Guy.

Bakunawa had never appeared before because it doesn’t like going out and fighting after finding a good home within Allen’s Grimoire World, in which she was completely satisfied. She was much lazier than the Rock Panda that was almost like Snorlax in the Poke-verse, and Grim that lazy cat.

And since Allen, really didn’t like forcing his tamed beast into fighting, he doesn’t mind about its lazy character. As long as it can live happily in the Grimoire World and doesn’t cause trouble for the others, Allen wouldn’t care about it.

Besides, according to the others, especially Dakna who was currently guarding Baishe who was deep in slumber from her gestation, that Bakunawa was actually taking care of Baishe’s pregnancy and checking her from time to time, with much clear concern.

Because Bulan can be said to be almost sharing the same race with Baishe, Bulan the Bakunawa knows more a lot of 'know-how and do' and 'do not do' during this kind of time, which make the others extremely grateful. After all, although Baishe was deep asleep in slumber, she was still pregnant and who knows what would affect the baby and her…!

And so, in regards of taking care of Baishe and making her dwelling, which was an extremely large cave with a large and clear lake deep within, under the Mountain (She was the only one using that Mountain as her dwelling. Thus, it can be said, that her house was the entire Mountain which was as big as Mt. Fuji), better and safe place for her gestation period, and to make sure that not one mistake and issue would occur that might disturb her, it was Bulan the Bakunawa’s responsibility.

And now, it actually appears in its own initiative?

Allen was somewhat surprised.

Bulan devoured the black beam from the Winged Mountain Serpent, and after a few seconds, its entire body finally fully materializes. Its large serpentine body coiled protectively around Allen, revealing an enraged expression, fully displaying its fangs that were bigger than Zabuza’s Kubikiribōchō.

Due to Allen’s rapid advancement, his tamed beasts which were connected by him also received a significant amount of powers, that even Bulan, the Bukanawa who didn’t fight like the others, evolved and become even stronger than normal beasts of her own kind. Although she was currently among the weakest of Allen’s tamed beasts, she was still above the average, especially those monsters of the same level.

—[ Moon Devourer Serpent-Type: Beast Level: 7 Offense: AA Defense: AA+ ]—

She has a snake-like face, with bright Sapphire-like eyes, numerous fangs, and body covered in beautiful topaz and zircon-like scales. There were also two rows of ruby colored hook-like spikes running down on its back, with a small cluster near the tip of its tail, which is topped with a pair of red barbs that it can rattle in a manner similar to rattlesnakes.

It has a long serpentine body with small though fully functional fore- and hind limbs, that looked like small dragon claws. Two pairs of wings, Crystallize large azure Dragon Wings and a small pair found further down its body. Its evolution path was almost the same as the Cloud Serpent in appearance, albeit with the difference in size.

RoooOOOOOaaaaaAAAArrrRRR!!!

Bulan let out a loud and deafening cry, towards the Winged Mountain Serpent; as if displaying its majesty and also showing its intense anger. With its cry, the horde of monsters was intimidated and suddenly halted on their tracks, shaking.

However,

CccReeoooEeooOOAAAArrrRRR!!!

The Winged Mountain Serpent seemed to be displeased by Bulan’s appearance and responded with an enraged shriek. Once again, the entire mountain trembled by the two giant snakes cries.

With the Winged Mountain Serpent’s aura, the monster seemed to have gotten back their ferocity and courage as they continued towards Allen’s location, with much vigor compared to before!

The human cultivators stared wide-eyed, staring in shock at the sudden appearance of a similarly large serpent from out of nowhere. Though, comparing the appearance, this blue colored serpent is far more beautiful and nobler than the other one…!

It was just too beautiful and colorful that it looked like a masterpiece art sculpture...!

Truly looking like a beautiful moon!

Allen turned around and looks up, bewildered.

“What are you doing here, Bulan…?” he asked. For her to suddenly appear, it was really a surprise...!

—Greetings Master. I just came out to play, after I sense a good playmate—

Bulan muttered through telepathy. Her voice seemingly excited, like a small kid seeing the toy she wanted for Christmas!

“A good playmate…?”

—Yes, master. Can you give that huge snake to me…?—
