380 The Battle of the Beasts

It was nearly midnight time, and Azaroth heard multiple howls from different directions. His subordinates were meditating as they focused on recovering from their injuries.

They were jolted awake by those terrifying howls. They stood up and rushed out of their tents, respectively.

When they were outside their tents, they saw Azaroth standing ahead of them with moonlight illuminating his figure. There was a scheming smile on his face that suggested that everything was going according to the plan.

"Do we need to fight, master?" Iris suddenly asked Azaroth. She was voicing the questions in the hearts of all her comrades.

Azaroth turned towards her and spoke slowly, "Return to your tents and focus on recovering. Your strength will be required tomorrow."

Nearly all of Azaroth's subordinates took a deep breath in relief. They also didn't want to rush to their deaths.

They were so injured that they could barely utilize Ardor to empower their bodies. It would have been useless for them to go and fight against the beasts.

However, even then, they left the final decision to Azaroth. If he had ordered them to charge at the beasts, they would have done so no matter how reluctant they were.

Among them, the only one who was in peak condition was Tiana. This was because she hadn't been injured in that battle earlier.

She looked slightly reluctant as she was also ordered to return to her tent.

She thought that Azaroth was personally making a move and further thought that this was because she was too weak to assist him right now.

Azaroth noticed her emotions but decided to say nothing. It would be better for her to stay frustrated like that. Furthermore, the issue was quite different, and he was too sluggish to fully explain it.

The Frozen Spirit Foxes and Zena moved at this moment.

The foxes were following Zena as they charged towards their opponent. Those kits were startled when they saw three large spiders heading towards them.

Those kits heard some rustling sound and looked around. They were greatly shocked to see five Blue Poison Tongue Frog, three Iron Scaled Alligators, a Wild Crimson Goat, and dozens of Giant Flesh-Eating Rats.

If that wasn't all, they also heard some screeches and raised their heads in response. There was a flock of birds led by a Gigantic Purple Vulture.

The flock of birds following that Vulture mostly belonged to the same species. But there were birds that belonged to other species as well, like the Scarlet Beak Kingfisher.

While these foxes were startled to see so many different species of beasts heading towards them, Zena released a cold snort.

She seemed to hold a contemptuous look as she glared at all these beasts. They were all a rank stronger than her. But was she scared? Not a chance!

Azaroth would rarely summon her to do a task for him. And Zena always tried her best to not disappoint him and even earn his praise.

This time would be no different for her.

While she flew forwards, her body began to glow with a faint Golden Light surrounding her body. Normally, Zena used her Heavenly Lightning to deal with her opponents.

However, the Heavenly Lightning Zena possessed wasn't her strongest kind of lightning. It was certainly much stronger than the lightning element possessed by a standard individual, but Zena possessed two different kinds of Lightning.

One was the Crimson Lightning of the Heavens, while the other was the Golden Lightning of the Beasts.

Moreover, in terms of pure destructive ability, her Golden Lightning was far superior. She hadn't yet used this lightning in a battle since her control over it was quite weak.

But her control had grown since then. She was now extremely confident in utilizing this lightning.

Suddenly, her speed increased as if the air resistance had completely vanished, and the concept didn't exist for Zena.

Even the beasts on the ground and the birds in the air lost sight of Zena.

These beasts only saw three beasts that had headed out from the camp. Even though they had seen just how huge their group was, these beasts continued to charge forward.

For some reason, the beasts were intensely agitated as they realized that these beasts had submitted to a human.

The beasts had very low intelligence. Even after they reach the 5 Star Rank, only the Fox Species could be considered to have terrific intelligence among the myriad species of the Beast Race.

Since these beasts had low intelligence, they never stopped for a moment to think about the situation as a whole.

They saw that two Foxes were betraying the Beast Race as they obeyed a human's order to come and fight them.

This completely enraged them since it struck their pride as a beast. Well, that was only true for the 4 Star Beasts. The rest just followed their leader.

The beasts changed their target to the two fox kits they saw.

The Fox, possessing the strong cultivation and bloodline, stepped increased her speed and ran ahead of his comrade to meet the opponent head-on first.

There wasn't some profound thinking behind it. As 3 Star Beasts, they weren't capable of such a complicated process yet.

It was a completely instinctive reaction of trying to save her comrades. The Emperor Symbol on that kit's face began to glow brightly.

A monkey suddenly jumped towards the two fox kits. It was waiting for them to arrive and immediately pounced on them as he saw them enter his territory.

The monkey planned to use this moment to launch a strong attack on the two foxes and kill them. The monkey sensed his blood telling him to attack these foxes and eat them.

He instinctively had a desire to eat the meat of Frozen Spirit Foxes and drink their blood. His blood was boiling with excitement as it was completely activated and on the verge of an evolution.

Naturally, these monkeys weren't the only ones who had an instinctive desire to slaughter these foxes and drink their blood. The other beasts had similar urges and were rushing towards these foxes at their quickest pace.

However, the monkeys would reach their objective sooner than them.

The Frozen Spirit Fox Sovereign stopped suddenly as she glared at these monkeys. She released her Emperor Symbol at its complete strength.

The ice suddenly appeared around these three Monkeys' bodies. Their movements turned slightly rigid due to the cold ice restricting their movements.

At this moment, another beast seemed to appear on this battlefield. It was a two-horned Ox.

The horns on its head glowed slightly, and the icy aura around those monkeys' bodies was suppressed to a specific extent.

These monkeys found out that the Ice was no longer restricting their bodies, so they rushed towards those two Foxes at a quick pace.

The two kits were startled to see these monkeys charging at them. The weaker one couldn't gather an attack strong enough to affect away these monkeys. While the stronger one had just utilized an attack and was still under the cooldown effect as he absorbed the impact of that technique.

Using the Emperor Symbol forcefully like that naturally had its own side effects.

However, they never expected a thin string of pure Golden Light to strike these monkeys.

When the two kits looked around, they saw all the beasts in their vision had been struck with this technique.

When they looked up to see the source of this technique, they saw Zena flying with an extremely huge lightning aura surrounding her body.

This was Zena's Lightning Network technique!
