Chapter 416 Legendary Beast Sub-species (Part Two)

After collecting so many demonic elixirs, Darren grew weary. He wanted to take a break as he had run out of energy. Alarmingly the hairs on his body started to rise.

Suddenly, a gust of a strong aura drew his attention. It would seem it was not yet the time to relax as something ominous was looming closer and approaching.

"Where is this formidable aura coming from? Is it released by the legendary five-star grand demonic monster?” Darren could not help but wonder out loud to himself. He strained his eyes and tried to see through layers and layers of clouds.

"No, it was just from a four-star grand demonic monster," a familiar voice said from behind. He thought he recognized the voice so he turned around. It was none other than the Water Kylin, who had returned with both Timothy and Abelard.

"How terrifying! Even a four-star grand demonic monster can emit such a strong aura!" he exclaimed. The aura was stifling. Timothy and Abelard could not help from feeling pressures as they thought of the potential dangers ahead of them in battles to come.

"They are indeed powerful! I remember Finley was at the four-star level at that time, and he gave me quite a hard beating one time. I still have a scar from it," the Water Kylin sighed then grumbled. The displeasure was obvious.

"Who is Finley?" Timothy asked, puzzled as it was the first time he heard the name Finley.

"He is a freak! A complete and utter freak!" the Water Kylin blurted out with a frown and pursed lips. "Be quiet! I don't want to be noticed by those people! This four-star grand demonic monster seems to be difficult to handle. Listen to me now! If they cannot get power over him, you go and help them out,” Darren carefully instructed the Water Kylin. Darren knew how much power a four-star grand demonic monster possessed, so he anticipated that the fight that was coming quite soon, would be a very tough one.

Darren's advice brought the Water Kylin back from his grudge of Finely and aroused his interest regarding the current situation. He blinked twice very quickly as if waking up from sleep. "It is so lucky that these guys have me to aid them. Otherwise, I dare say that they at least need to sacrifice a few lives to take that monster down," the Water Kylin flaunted. In truth, he was eager to try out his lightning skill that he had just acquired a little while ago. Now, with this formidable four-star grand demonic monster, he thought it was a good chance to try it out on him and know how powerful the skill actually could be. With great anticipation, the Water Kylin actually looked forward to the coming battle just for that.

As for Finley, the Water Kylin went to get even with him as soon as he had obtained the skill. He originally deemed that the time that he could bully Finley had finally come. However, to his surprise, Finley demonstrated an aura that was even more powerful than before, and which evidently weakened the Water Kylin's morale until finally, he chose to give up and run away. He would never forget that day.

Back at the battlefield, as the grand demonic monster drew nearer, the crowd could now see him clearer, and they were tense.

They found that the monster had a vigorous look and had dressed himself in a shiny golden armor that looked as if it were his skin. The cloak he wore hung from his shoulder as it fluttered in the wind, making him look even more commanding.

"You despicable human beings! Come and confront me! You are in no position to see Cain if you cannot overpower me. I will slaughter you all!" roared the grand demonic monster's scornful challenging voice. And he kept on repeating the phrases.

"He seems really confident of his powers. What beast did he evolve from? Does anyone know?" Abelard asked with wonder.

"Son of a bitch! I did not expect to encounter a sub-specific descendant of a legendary beast. This fellow must have survived so many years, and accumulated even more talents than I have,” the Water Kylin grumbled with uncertainty, feeling slightly insecure. His gaze was even wobbly.

"What is a sub-specific descendant of a legendary beast?" Darren inquired. Like Timothy and Abelard, he was also puzzled, and it was obvious.

"I can feel a gust of strong of wind and a menacing aura around this grand demonic monster. Plus, judging from his appearance, I dare say that he is a sub-specific descendant of an ancient legendary beast— winged-tiger. Speaking of sub-specific descendant of legendary beasts, it is just a bloodline one level below the true descendant. Therefore, this monster should be very hard to deal with as he has a high level of dense bloodline concentration,” the Water Kylin grimly explained in a serious tone.

There was a hush. They could feel that all the 20 grand warriors in the air were troubled by the sudden appearance of such a mighty grand demonic monster. After tussling with so many demonic monsters just now, they had already felt the waning of their energy, and fighting with a grand demonic monster even more powerful than regular demonic monsters looked like an impossible task to them right now. They needed some kind of intervention.

"Master Jacob, we can only use our Sky Piercing Array one more time. How do we handle the current situation?” one of the grand warriors asked in dismay.

The Sky Piercing Array was so powerful as well as harmful that they could only put it into action two times. If activated two times, the array would practically consume all the 20 grand warriors’ energy and render them as weak as ordinary, fragile people in minutes.

A little while ago they had already used it one time. Although the needed time did not last long, the array nonetheless consumed lots of their united cohesive force and decreased their power. Now they were in the plight of moving their last chance of activating their Sky Piercing Array from a five- star grand demonic monster to this four-star grand demonic monster that they originally did not expect to encounter.

"We have no other way but to activate our array. Otherwise, before we could even get a chance, the monster would have put our people to death," Jacob replied worriedly, trying to warn the others. "What if Cain shows up after we have killed this monster? We would totally not be a match for him in strength by then,” another one said wistfully.

"We need to hurry! Once we have succeeded in taking this grand demonic monster down, we must leave this place immediately. We can come for Cain later, after we have completely recovered our strength," Jacob astutely advised.

The plan was settled then. All 20 grand warriors prepared to put the Sky Piercing Array into action. The time was approaching.

"Your enemy is just a sub-species! Let me see what he has got!" A roaring sound was heard from behind them and following that a strong, invincible figure shot through the air and stopped right in the middle of those grand warriors.

It was none other than the Water Kylin who had been ordered to help the grand warriors by Darren.
