Chapter 287: Velmira Joined the War
"Haha. This is so fun!" Fyre laughed happily as he dodged the petals flying toward him. "Hyzi, come and join me!"
Hyzi remained in his place and paid attention to them carefully because he was observing their fight.
'I can't check her rank. Then…'
His lips curled up into a grin because there was only one meaning for this.
Her rank was higher than his!
'It seems like she can give me some excitement too.'
Despite knowing she was stronger than him, there was no sign of fear in his eyes because he loved fighting like Fyre.
Bang!
Fyre was slammed into the ground close to him again.
"Hyzi, that human is already at 5-star." Frye wiped the blood from the corner of his lips as he rose to his feet. "Even though she is not as powerful as boss, fighting her still excites me."
"Then, I will join the fun." Hyzi made up his mind in the next second and rushed toward Lyria with Fyre.
"Tch! Another annoying beast appears!" Lyria clicked her tongue again.
'Then, you two can die together.'
Countless petals shot toward them at an incredible speed.
Even though Fyre and Hyzi were fast and had good reflexes, they still got hit by these petals.
Blood dripped from their cheeks, arms, and legs.
But even so, they didn't feel annoyed.
Instead, the grin on their faces grew bigger because they finally found someone who could entertain them.
"You are right, Fyre. This is so fun!" Hyzi finally understood Fyre's feelings.
"Told you!" Fyre grinned. "Hyzi, how about we make this more exciting?"
"How?" Hyzi asked.
"Whoever lands the first hit on her gets five potions. But whoever manages to kill her gets twenty, including five health potions." Fyre made a game like this because getting close to Lyria was already challenging. "So, how is it?"
"Count me in," Hyzi replied without hesitation.
"Great!" Fyre stated. "Then, let's attack her again."
The duo rushed toward her again.
However, they were bombarded by countless petals like before.
And when they managed to close the distance, the petals turned into a shield to protect her from their attacks.
Hyzi and Fyre grinned when their attacks were blocked by the petals.
The harder it was to hit her, the more excited they became because landing a single blow would feel like a small victory.
'This fight is making my blood boil!'
Hyzi and Fyre exchanged a glance with each other before finally rushing toward Lyria again.
While they were trying to defeat Lyria, above the battlefield, Ren was facing Aurelia with his puppet.
He could not cover the gap between 5-star and 6-star, so he took out his puppet and ordered it to assist him.
"Cough!" Aurelia coughed up blood when Ren's tail hit her stomach hard.
'Fighting him becomes more difficult now.'
She glanced at the puppet before returning her attention to Ren.
"Don't think of this as an unfair fight because your rank is higher than mine." Ren would not use his puppet quickly if he could use magic and skills because it was the fastest way to make him go broke.
'Luckily, I have many mana crystals and spirit stones in my space ring.'
Althea had given half of the Tuiziya Kingdom's mana crystal and spirit stone mines to his organization, so he had plenty of them in his space ring.
"Palace Mistress…"
"Palace Mistress…"
"Palace Mistress…"
Zerina, Nyssa, and Mira rushed to her side when they saw her getting injured.
Ren's eyes turned cold when he saw Zerina because the memories of her burning their city and killing the citizens mercilessly suddenly popped up in his mind.
"You will know exactly what it feels like to be in hell once the war is over." Ren would take Zerina to Nightshire City and let the citizens torture her because an easy death would be too merciful for her.
"You will be the one experiencing hell because I will avenge the First Elder, Fourth Elder, and Seventh Elder today." They fought in Misty Palace's territory, so Zerina believed they would not lose.
When Ren was about to order his puppet to attack Zerina, a voice suddenly rang out. "Silver Dragon, it seems like you are having a hard time."
Ren turned his head toward the source of the sound.
'She has come.'
He was only a little surprised when he saw Velmira and her subordinates because Xaviena had dropped her disguise and left the group last month.
Velmira was currently standing on a huge bird with her two trusted subordinates.
Behind her, thousands of magical beasts marched in formation, following her lead.
Since she decided to join the war, she recruited magical beasts on her way to Misty Palace, so her followers rose from ten thousand to sixty thousand.
Unlike Ren, Aurelia and the others were displeased with her arrival.
They were already outnumbered by his subordinates, and now, with her forces joining the war, their disciples would have a hard time defending their positions.
"Reinforcements?" Nyssa clenched her fist angrily, especially when she knew how strong Velmira was.
"We have to kill him and that woman quickly. Otherwise, things will turn bad for our disciples." Mira still believed they would win the war because Velmira was only at 5-star.
When Velmira's mount floated next to him, Ren asked, "What makes you change your mind?"
"I suddenly thought having a kingdom is not a bad idea." Ren had passed her test, so Velmira agreed to join him, but as the queen, not a follower. "So, why haven't you won the war yet?"
"Their leader is already at 6-star, so it's not an easy war." Ren explained why they hadn't won yet.
"I see." Velmira said. "Azelira, Xavienna, lead the army and kill them quickly."
"Understood, my queen." Azelira and Xavienna jumped down from the bird.
"Little bird, go and play with their disciples." Her bird was only at 3-star, so Velmira ordered it to fight their disciples.
Even though she had no wings on her back, Velmira could fly like them.
"Silver Dragon, you fight their leader. Leave those three to me." Velmira was not afraid of Aurelia.
She chose not to fight Aurelia because she wanted to see how Ren would deal with someone whose rank was above his.
"Sure." Velmira looked confident facing three 5-star mages, so Ren agreed instantly.
"Palace Mistress, we will kill her quickly and help you deal with that dragon after that." Mira wanted to beat Velmira so badly because it was crystal clear that she didn't put them in her eyes.
"Alright." Aurelia nodded.
"Fifth Elder, Sixth Elder, let's show that beast the consequences of underestimating us." Mira uttered.
"Un." Zerina and Nyssa nodded.
As Ren and his puppet attacked Aurelia again, the three elders surrounded Velmira from three directions.
But even so, Velmira still smiled playfully as if she were not in a dangerous situation.
"Damn beast, go die now!" when Mira and the others were about to attack her, Velmira flew toward them and circled around playfully, brushing her fingers across their faces with a smile.
When her gaze met theirs, her eyes gleamed red, and in that instant, their eyes also gleamed red.
They suddenly forgot what they wanted to do, and their hatred toward her was replaced by admiration and a desire to please her.
Charm!
Velmira used her innate ability when she circled them playfully.
Innate ability was a blessing that one had right from birth. The nine-tailed fox race was famous for having charm as their innate ability.
Their innate ability was different from charm skills or magic.
They could even charm someone stronger than them with their innate ability because this ability manipulated the target's mind and heart.
The reason she could fly without wings was also due to her innate ability.
This was the reason why the nine-tailed fox race was considered one of the most powerful and feared races in the world because their innate abilities were so terrifying.
"My queen, I will follow you for the rest of my life."
"My queen, I will protect you forever."
"My queen, I'm your loyal servant."
They were charmed by her, so they could not control themselves anymore.
Velmira's lips curled up into a smile when she saw them.
'What should I do with my new toys?'
An exciting idea suddenly popped up in her mind.
"Everyone, I only need one servant," Velmira said. "Why don't you three fight each other? The winner will follow me and become my servant."
Mira, Zerina, and Nyssa instantly put some distance between themselves. In the next second, they unleashed their magic and launched deadly attacks at each other.
Velmira, who saw them, smiled playfully again.
'What a beautiful sight!'
