Chapter 112 Ominous Feeling
At that moment, Garm finally slashed down with his bone, producing a terrifying arc of Sword Aura fired toward Lily, with the aim of killing both her and Lucian, who she was protecting.
Lily watched the arc of sword light flying toward her with widened eyes. She wanted to dodge, but could not. However, even if she could dodge it, she would choose not to — her Big Brother Lucian was behind her.
Lily sorrowfully closed her eyes as the beam of light rushed at her. The sound of fearful shouts resounded mixed with the sound of tearing wind from the sword arc.
When she sensed the sword arc reach a few inches away from her body, her body further tensed. But, surprisingly, for some odd reason. she felt the terrifying aura disappear.
Following this, a teasing laughter filled the surroundings.
"HAHAHA! The looks on your faces. It's priceless!"
After a moment of hesitation, Lily opened one of her eyes in confusion. Immediately, her other eye sprung open as the scene before her left her speechless and shocked. The terrifying arc of Sword Aura was nowhere to be seen. It was as though Garm had never swung his bone at them.
Meanwhile, Yax's excited expression changed as he said in a shocked tone, "You… What is the meaning of this?"
Yax did not mean it but his words came out with a hint of accusation.
While the others were pleasantly shocked by the turn of events, Garm put his bone into his Spatial Ring. Then, slowly, he asked Yax while pointing at Lucian's sleeping figure, "You said he was a Magical Beast?"
For some reason, after hearing Garm's words, Yax felt an ominous feeling envelop him. Nevertheless, he nodded his head and replied in a hurried tone, "That's correct, he's a powerful Magical Beast in Humanoid Form. Before he wakes up, quickly kill him."

Slightly over twenty minutes ago; before Yax, Garm, and Albert had arrived at Lucian's restaurant.
"P-Please, spare me! I-I didn't mean to offend anyone! I'm here because I need Sir Taotie's help!" Yax's voice was filled with dread as he repeatedly kowtowed.
Each time his head banged against the hard ground, splotches of blood were left behind.
Albert frowned and was just about to create a portal to send him away when Garm spoke:
"Stand up and speak. What do you need my help with? … Is it related to you being a cripple?"
Anyone with Mana Sense could easily see Yax's Mana Veins no longer existed and Garm was no exception. Therefore, he quickly deduced why the young man had come to him. Discover stories with empire
Being reminded of his sore spot, veins pulsed on his forehead and his face turned red from anger.
Slowly, Yax raised his head, while remaining in a kneeling position.
"Sir Taotie is correct, me being here is related to being crippled. Sir must not know but a villainous scum has set up a restaurant in the Moon Grove Forest." As Yax spoke, tears ran down his face. He looked as though he had been wrongly bullied.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"A restaurant?" Garm and Albert exchanged a surprised glance. They were just about to head to the restaurant and now this young man came here.
"What a coincidence."
Yax blinked and carefully asked, "What does Sir mean by 'coincidence'?
"Before you came, we were mere moments away from going to the restaurant," Albert answered in his Master's stead.
'Hahaha, oh Lucian! It seems even the Heavens want you dead. You can't blame me. Blame yourself for being born a Magical Beast!' Yax's eyes brightened. This was the best news he had heard in his life. At the moment, only Lucian's dead body and his Mana Veins restored could make him even happier than he was now.
But quickly, he changed his expression to sorrow, while inwardly hoping they did not see his excitement. Unfortunately, for him, with their superior Mage Ranks, a weaker Mage could not hide their emotions from them. But they declined to comment, wanting to see where this was heading.
"Did the owner cripple you? Why would he do that?"
Yax turned his tear-stained face to Albert, and spoke with hatred, "Sir Albert, like I said, the owner is contemptible trash. He's the worst of the worst."
Albert raised an eyebrow. "Oh, why is that?"
"He crippled me just because I'm a rogue Mage! He said all rogue Mages deserve to be purged!"
"Does he have a grudge against rogue Mages?"
Yax hurriedly nodded his face, causing his snot to fly everywhere.
Albert frowned in disgust and waved his hands, creating several portals that transported his snot.
In the meantime, Yax tried to come up with a believable lie but failed.
With no better option, he changed the subject, "Even worse, he called Sir Taotie fat and ugly. He said he's surprised you can even walk with your elephant-sized legs."
Hearing the young man's words, Garm and Albert's expression became exceedingly ugly.
"How dare he say those words," Garm said through gritted teeth.
At this point, Yax was inwardly jumping for joy and thanking himself for remembering Garm hated when others ridiculed his appearance.
It was a big sore spot for him!
"But that's not all." After getting their attention back on him, Yax continued with a fearful expression, "The owner is a powerful Magical Beast in Humanoid Form! He's at least a Mana Soul Realm Mage!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Garm bellowed with rage, startling the nearby rogue Mages with his anger-filled voice.
"Which ba- *Cough* *Cough*" As soon as the rogue Mage saw the owner of the voice, he hurriedly kowtowed and returned to his tent, while inwardly thanking his ancestors The Voracious Devourer was occupied.
The other rogue Mages, who were thinking of spectating, decided against it and swiftly returned to their tents. Although they did not dare use their Mana Sense to listen to their conversation, they kept their ears perked.
For an entire minute, there was only silence in that part of the Moon Grove Forest as Albert and Garm stared at Yax's kneeling figure.
