Chapter 402: Your Future is Dead
"Yeah! Beat that pathetic fire lion and castrate him hahaha! Like father, like son, make them suffer the same pain!" Zach gave his support while cheering happily. For some reason, he felt thrilled to see his daughter corner the son of his killer.
Elysia sweated a little to hear that because her guess was correct. Meanwhile, Jimmy just facepalmed and gave a little distance from his father. Even so, Jimmy still cheered for his big sister as well as his uncle and aunt.
\'For the teaching of a father, Zach is quite a bad influence. Hopefully our Vann will still be our good girl after this.\' Elysia expressed her hope in her mind.
\'Amen. I hope so too, but having a pet that is quite savage to enemies isn\'t bad either.\' Elena felt conflicted a bit, but she just let it be. As long as Vanessa remained as their cute little pet, then everything was okay.
Back inside the dome barrier, Vanessa kept attacking the crown prince of the Pyrogressive Lion Clan, Leigh. After using various techniques and magic, she managed to get the upper hand from the one-on-one battle.
*Thud*
Leigh crashed into an earth spike that somehow popped out right behind him.
"This is the end for your future!" Vanessa took the opportunity to launch her ultimate attack.
As she flapped her wings, hundreds of wind-blade clad in lightning flashes immediately shot toward the cornered and stunned fire lion.
"Don\'t think you will succeed, insane tiger. My future is stronger than yours! Roar!" Leigh tried hard to deal with all the air blades that came by burned the incoming attacks with his roar of hot flames.
*Fwoosh*
When clouds of fire, wind, and lightning blocked the view, Vanessa took a detour and came right beside Leigh. "You are quite caught off guard, o crown prince. Say goodbye to your future, fufu..."
Those were the white tiger\'s last words before she swung her wind claws at the fire lion\'s lower back.
*Slash*
Leigh\'s eyes widened, and he immediately jumped to the side at maximum speed, as fast as he could. He had high hope of dodging the vicious attack that targeted his vulnerable body part.
*Drip* *Drip* *Drip*
Leigh\'s expression paled as if the blood had disappeared from his face when he saw the red drops of blood on the ground. Was he bleeding even though he was sure he had dodged the attack earlier? At the same time, a stinging sensation came from his butt right after.
"Wha- what? That\'s impossible, can it?" Leigh paled even more as if he didn\'t dare believe the one thing that was on his mind.
"Why don\'t you check it yourself?" Vanessa picked up two boulders on the ground and threw them at a nearby lump of fresh meat and red tail.
*Splat* *Splat*
That things were helpless and couldn\'t escape their doom either, so they were crushed flat by the rock.
Vanessa did that so that the stick and the two balls couldn\'t be reattached to Leigh\'s body even though the fire lions could get help from a high-level healer.
"That-that, aah, uh?" Leigh stammered as if trying not to believe what he had just seen. That crushed things were his stick and balls? His family jewel!? It was hard to accept, but he ventured to examine the source of the pain in his butt, just to make sure.
"Gone, it\'s gone... My family jewel is gone. Ah-aahh, argh! You\'ve cut off my family jewel! Argh, it\'s gone, my tail is gone too. I\'m not even married! Aargh!!!" Leigh screamed like he was broken and dead inside. He screamed in pain and rolled on the ground while clutching the wound in his lower back.
Knowing that he had lost the most important thing that made him a male lion was killing him from within.
"Young Master Leigh!" The two fire lions screamed in surprise to see what had happened to their crown prince.
"How dare you to let your guard down in our high-level battle. Well then, say goodbye to your lower and middle dantian." Theo stabbed deeply into his opponent\'s middle dantian and swung his claws down for a large shred. To take advantage of the opportunity, Leila also did the same thing.
"Gah!"
"Urgh!"
The two fire lions immediately fell with a lot of blood splattered because of their severe injuries. They both lost their ability to feel anything other than pain. Still, they knew that their powers were slowly starting to leave them due to the severe injuries they had sustained.
These two brown tigers were so cruel as to make them cripple.
"Guh, you really don\'t have a conscience."
"Ghak! Emperor Ernest will avenge us and Young Master Leigh. You will all be burned alive for this."
The two fire lions fell on the ground and struggled to speak even though they ended up coughing up mouthfuls of blood.
"Tell that to you guys, you hypocrites. You guys had the same intentions before, right? Why do you call us having no conscience when you would do the same to us?" Leila cleaned her paws from the blood then went to her husband\'s side.
After that, Theo and Leila glanced at the only fire lion still fighting in the battle. They simply ignored the curse words and other ravings of the two fire lions they had just crippled.
As the rumbling and noise from the clash between earth magic and fire subsided, Ernest could finally hear his son screaming in pain.
He remembered that his son was responsible for handling the weakest winged tiger, so what could have happened? With an anxious and troubled heart, he immediately flew high and turned his head toward his son.
At that very moment, Ernest was so shocked to see his son rolling on the ground, screaming in pain. His son was gripping the lower back, maybe butt?
However, his eyes widened, and his anger level rose to the next level as he listened carefully to what his son was shouting amidst the pained moans.
"How dare you kill my son\'s future! You winged tigers have no pride and dignity in this battle! If so, then don\'t blame me if you all die. Accept the fire of my wrath! Blaze Burst!" Ernest was devastated and only thought of how to kill all his opponents quickly.
His body was enveloped in scorching hot flames, and the entire area around him became red from the heat he radiated.
Just as Ernest was about to dash towards the white tiger, a giant earth wave knocked him back to the ground and buried him alive.
"Grr!" Gio wouldn\'t let his opponent go.
"Get out of my way, you damn beast! I will kill you later after I kill that white tiger!" Ernest growled and burned hundreds of meters of the ground around him.
Unfortunately, the Lion Emperor\'s efforts were vain as Gio didn\'t even feel anything but warmth.
Ernest struggled to free himself from the shackles of the earth, but he could only pop his head out to the surface. And that was the best result of all his resistance efforts.
"Accept your punishment for all your sins, fire lion." Gio growled and popped his head to the surface as well. At the same time, he controlled the earth element to grip his opponent firmly.
*Crack* *Crack*
Several crackling sounds were heard, and Ernest roared in pain. It was the sound of some of his bones being crushed. However, that didn\'t stop him from putting up a fight against this colossal monster.
"Hehe..." Seeing that the Lion Emperor was already trapped on the ground, Vanessa let out a sinister chuckle. She walked closer toward the Pyrogressive Lion Clan\'s crown prince, witnessed by the Lion Emperor Ernest.
"You damn winged tiger! What do you want to do to my son!? Uraaagh! Burn to Ashes!" Ernest became angry and restless. He managed to free a quarter of his body because of his fire magic, but it was just a moment of success. He was immediately pulled back to the ground by a powerful force.
As far as he could go, only his head was on the surface, and that was probably intentional for some reason.
"Didn\'t I tell you, dotard lion? I will kill your son\'s future. Wait a moment and it will be your turn." Vanessa smiled like a good girl who likes to keep her promises.
"Don\'t you dare to do that, or- cough!" Ernest roared in rage, but dirt entered his mouth and made him cough several times.
"You, please don\'t come any closer! What do you want to do to me? I\'m sure there\'s a way out of this other than violence." Leigh crawled to get away from the scary white tiger that was approaching.
"Hum... Mayber, to keep my promise? Your clan, including you, killed many winged tigers eleven years ago, right? I\'m not that cruel to give the same treatment. Am I not forgiving and pretty nice, hmm?" Vanessa kept walking closer even though her target was trying to get away.
"You, please, whatever it is. Please forgive me. Don\'t kill me." Leigh begged for his life as the fear gripped his muddled mind.
"Did you grant any mercy to the winged tigers eleven years ago? You only granted amnesty to those who swore allegiance to your clan, right? Did you let my father live? No, you killed my father and many winged tigers just because of your ridiculous ambition. How many did you kill at that time? It wasn\'t just the winged tigers that died because of your clan, right?
For the other tigers who possessed authority and influence? Tch, you fire lions killed them mercilessly with a cold heart.
Your heart is so cold even though you are all like burning fire from outside. Isn\'t that funny?" Vanessa expressed her grievance. She bared her fangs and growled, but it looked like a terrifying smile in Ernest and Leigh\'s eyes.
"No, no... Please, I\'ll give you anything. But-" Leigh wanted to stammer out a few more pleas.
Unfortunately, Vanessa didn\'t wait for it because everything had been planned by her father before this battle started. She raised her claws high and swung it mercilessly, remembering the hatred she had.
Vanessa aimed for Leigh\'s middle and lower dantian to cripple him.
*Slash*
"Aarghh!!!" Leigh screamed in pain like it was the end of his life. His blood was flowing like running water, but he wouldn\'t die from it.
"Your future is dead. Enjoy the rest of your life doing whatever it takes. You can hate me as much as you want because I hate you and your clan no less than the water in the ocean." Vanessa cleaned her claws from the red stains and walked away. She only left the plain words behind.
