LAZARUS REGULUS
Chaptre 58. Strategy Meeting.
Duke Donovan was so grateful to Lazarus, he did not expect that he could see the colors of the world again.
"Young man, what do you want as payment?" Duke Donovan asked.
"Master, I just want some Garcia Family Wine." Lazarus smiled.
Wine made from the wines of the Garcia region is one of the best wines in the world. Although, Lazarus could ask for something else as payment. However, he now did not need it because he had a lot of money, high-rank artifacts, rare materials, rare herbs and relations with the Aquila Travel Guild.
Lazarus did not want to be greedy because most greedy people would fall for his greed.
"Haha. How interesting! You just want some wine? I can give you thousands, even hundreds of thousands of bottles of Wine!"
"Master, I just want the Garcia Nobles family to supply Wine for my newly created restaurant. I will pay it according to the market price of Wine Garcia. Lord Ferdinand, perhaps he has currently prepared several restaurant branches around the Lion Heart Empire and Avalon."
"Alright, I'll supply the wine for your restaurant and let you open a branch in Garcia's territory after this Beast Wave ends." Duke Donovan smiled.
"Urs The North? I've never heard his name! Even I've used a quarter of Garcia's Royal Family's fortune to treat my eyes. However, he was able to treat it easily. Does he just want wine as payment? Although, this man had a face that resembled Lazarus, but he was a humble and intelligent man," the inner Duke Donovan.
Alyssa and Freya glanced at each other. They, almost forgot that in Briton City. Lazarus and Ferdinand have agreed to open a restaurant.
"Was Lazarus before me the Duke Lazarus Regulus that Astrid's sister had told me about? Nah! whether it's Urs or Lazarus I have to keep believing in him because he's my true love!" inner Freya.
"Auuummm"
A roar sounded. Golden Fang, Kyle, and master Iefan flew towards the Lazarus group.
"I'm sorry for disturbing all of you .. I just want to feel the sense of flying up the Legendary Beast Golden Winged Tiger." Mr. Iefan smiled awkwardly.
"Iefan, did you contract two Legendary Beasts and want to show them off?" Duke Donovan asked while looking intently at Mr. Iefan.
"Donovan, I'm not that lucky to be able to contract two young Legendary Beasts! These two Beasts are the Urs contract Beasts." Mr. Iefan answered and gave the sleeping Kyle to Lazarus.
"What! Master Urs, are you a Beast Master?"
"Mr Donovan, I am a Beast Master Rank A." Lazarus answered.
Beast Masters who contracted Legendary Beasts were extremely rare. Lord Donovan, only know a few Beast Masters who contracted Legendary Beasts.
Unlike someone who made a pact with a Legendary Beast. Contracting a Legendary Beast to a Beast Master was a symbol of strength and power. Contracting a high rank Beast was the dream and goal of all Beast Masters around the world.
"Donovan, I'll go first to the rendezvous. Mr. Urs, I'll talk to you after this Beast wave ends." Master Iefan smiled as he took out his Contract Beast.
Everyone stared towards the contract Beast Master Iefan. In fact, Golden Fang was shocked upon seeing the Beast.
A Legendary Beast was a tiger-type with red and orange fur like a burning flame, a spiral orange horn on its forehead, a single horn, adorned with orange hair that grows from head to tail and two large fangs in its mouth and the size of Ignis.
"Legendary Beast Purgatory Tiger is www." Cathrine yelling. As a cat Beastman he knew all the high rank Beast types of cats and big cats.
The Legendary Beast Purgatory Tiger was a fire element tiger beast that resided in the depths of the volcano. They, used to fight with Red Dragon and Fire element high rank Beasts to seize or defend territory. Although, it had no wings, but they were not inferior in terms of strength, speed and agility to a Red Dragon.
The Legendary Beast looked towards Golden Fang and Kyle. With sharp red eyes.
"Master, are those Mythical Beast Ancient Golden Winged Tiger and Lunar White Leopard your new contracted Beasts?" The Legendary Beast Purgatory Tiger asked.
"Lava, what do you mean? The Ancient Golden Winged Tiger was one of the three strongest tiger-type high-ranked Beasts! They were extremely rare and only lived in the Eternal Lightning Mountains in the North Sea and the Mythical Beast Lunar White Leopard was a Variant Blue Sky White Leopard they were one of the absolute rulers of the Great Beast Forest."
"Master, maybe I saw it wrong.."
"How could the King Beast be here. Perhaps, the old White Slaughter, Tigris and Beast in the Great Cat Clan had already come here," Inner Lava.
Pure-blooded Beasts were Beasts that had ancestors or both parents of a powerful Beast. The more, the higher the ancestral realm and the two Beast elders were the stronger the descendants were. Like Asterion and Ignis they were the children of Melanthios so they were stronger than normal Dragon-type Beasts that had the same realm.
All of the pure-blooded Beasts also had a Bloodline Skill. The purer the offspring of a Beast, then they could put pressure on a Beast with a lower bloodline. Although the Beast had a higher realm.
Although, that pure-blooded Beast had a bloodline Skill. However, young pure-blooded Beasts are often the target of other Beasts because pure-blooded Beast Intents can make Beasts with lower bloodlines evolve to higher bloodlines.
The group of Lazarus, members of the Aquila Travel Guild and the troops of the Garcia Nobles went to the border of the King Forest.
"Daughter Grace, have you known Miss Diana for a long time?" Lazarus asked.
"Urs, call me Gil! I have been friends with Diana for a long time. We were childhood friends. Although, Diana always scolded me, she was a very disciplined woman." Grace remembers her past.
"Miss Gil, I agree with you." Amarilis nodded.
The sunlight is getting hotter. Lazarus saw that many Adventurers, Nobles, Soldiers and Marcenary had gathered at the border of the King's Forest.
A Warrior mounted the Magical Beast White Horse, wearing Silver armor with the engraving of the Red Dragon emblem and the Sword of Excalibur going towards Duke Donovan.
"Duke Donovan, everyone's been waiting." The soldier said, then led Garcia's troops and Lazarus' group to the meeting tent.
Inside the meeting room Lazarus saw many representatives of the Nobles, the Aquila Travel Guild, the Adventurers Guild, the Marcenary Guild and other powers taking part in the hunt.
"Hahaha, Old Grandpa, you're so late." A handsome man with long blonde hair and bright gray eyes laughed. The man has a high posture and a trained body.
"Armstrong, haven't seen each other in a long time!"
"Don't call me Armstrong! I am now already a Duke and the most handsome man in the Continent." Ray smiled as he shook his blond hair.
"Ray, your nature never changes! Have you made the latest work." Alyssa says.
Ray looked towards Alyssa and Diana. "How are you guys here!"
"Sufuku. Ray, have you seen a ghost? Have not seen each other for a long time. Exactly 30 years! I don't know your real name is Ray Zander, not Ray Armstrong." Diana chuckled small.
Ray is a member of Golden Lion. He disguised himself as an adventurer named Ray Armstrong and an adult writer under the pen name Armstrong more than 30y years ago. In fact, his book is now the most searched book in the world. Although, some Kingdoms make his book as a forbidden book.
"Everything's gathered let's now start a Strategy meeting. Large-scale Beast Waves will happen in 5 hours." A burly man with short black hair, purple eyes and brown skin wearing an eye patch on his right eye said.
Ellar Cedric was one of the executives of the Adventurers Guild. He was a man of the bloodline of the Kingdom of Zircon and a man whom Lazarus considered to be his own father. In the past Ellar taught Lazarus a lot with the art of fighting and cooking. Lazarus, though, was a fool and naive man, but he still regarded Lazarus as his own family.
"Why did my heart hurt when I met Ellar? Is this the feeling of Lazarus?" inner Lazarus.
Ellar glanced at Lazarus. "Young man, when I look at you I seem to remember someone. Are you from Zircon?"
"Sir, I have the Zircon bloodline." Lazarus bent.
"Sit down, after the Beast Waves are over I'll treat you to good drinks and food." Ellar smiled.
Lazarus and all the people sat in the prepared place. The one who presided over this meeting was master Iefan Green Tower master. It is only fitting that Mr. Iefan leave in a hurry.
"Hmmm.. This year's Beast Waves were bigger than 10 years ago. Of the 22 scouts we sent only three survived. According to reports from the scouts of all the Legendary Beast rulers of the King Forest will lead this Beast Wave."
The meeting tent became noisy, hearing Mr. Iefan's words.
"Shut up!" Ellar yells. "Iefan, means that there are 18 adult Legendary Beasts in the lead. We only have seven Legendary realm people on our side."
"Mr Iefan, do I have to ask father for help on this matter?" Aland asked.
"Prince Aland, Donovan and I have appealed to King Arden and Emperor Cyril for help. Maybe help is on the way. At that time we should be able to withstand the Beast Waves until help comes." Iefan says.
"I don't agree! There will be many casualties! What, if only everyone who possessed the Epic and Legendary realm were to hold back those Beast Waves! So that no life is wasted." Ellar says.
"Haha. Ellar, do you want to be a hero? In fact, if everyone joined the fight they would not be able to withstand the Beast Waves for 4 hours. No, only the strong can survive while the weak die! They are nothing but senseless Beasts we just have to stab and slash them to death! Guild members of the Marcenary Beast King were not afraid to die." A burly and orange-haired Lion Beastman said.
"Leon, isn't it the duty of the strong to protect the weak?"
"Ellar, you're still trapped by delusions. In this world only the strong will survive. They died because they were weak!" Leon smiled as he let out an aura of Legendary realm intimidation.
Ellar looked at Leon sharply, then gave off an aura that was as powerful as Ellar's. Everyone knew of the dispute between the Adventurers Guild and the Marcenary Beast King Guild.
Ellar and Leon retracted their aura.
"Sad. Old Grandpa!" Leon clucked his tongue in annoyance.
"Do you all have different opinions?" A middle-aged woman with blond hair and blue eyes said. She is Duchess Anya Elliot of the Kingdom of Pendragon.
"Haha. I agree with Leon, the more people die, the more loot. The weak will only die!" A thin green-haired and green-eyed man chuckled.
"Viscount Winston, I agree more with Ellar's opinion! Although, we are all dead, but there is time for the people to evacuate." Grace says.
"Daughter Grace? I didn't realize you were here! However, stop meddling this is a matter of the Kingdom of Pendragon." Winston replied.
"Master! We felt the aura of grandma flying over here!" Ignis and Asterion said.
Lazarus stood up from his seat. "Mr and Madam, may I give you my opinion?"
"Job people! Who will allow you to speak!" Winston shouted while standing up and pointed towards Lazarus.
"Viscount Winston, Mr. Urs is my friend and he has the right to submit his opinion." Aland says.
"All right, Prince Aland." Winston sat down with an annoyed expression.
"Mr Madam I agree with Mr. Leon's opinion...,"
"Haha. Your young man is rational. You will be greeted by the Guild Marzenary Beast King."
"However ... I also agree with Mr. Ellar's opinion."
Everyone looked towards Lazarus. They were curious about Lazarus's opinion.
"People of Jela–" Winston wanted to insult Lazarus.
"Shut up!" Duke Donovan yells.
"In my opinion, the opinions of master Leon and Ellar are correct, but some are a little lacking." Lazarus touched his chin.
"Forward!" Duke Donovan and the others exclaimed.
"According to Lord Leon the Beasts were stupid, but the Beasts led by the Legendary Beasts were just like a trained army. You guys also did not investigate how many low and medium ranked Beasts were in the Beast wave. Beasts fly, Beasts creep, Beasts that live in water and Beasts that can move in the ground. Have you not investigated the reason why the Beasts attacked once every 10 years since the Red Dragon Ignis disappeared? Aren't you guys trying to negotiate with the Legendary Beasts? And are there any outside factors that make this Beast Wave even bigger?" Lazarus says.
"If the Beasts were led by 17 Legendary Beasts, there would definitely be many Beasts of various types and elements. Although, we all sacrifice ourselves, but the people will still be the victims because the Beast flew away, he said, Water beasts and Beasts that can move within the ground with the Legendary Beast's command can easily go to the City Passing through the air, rivers and underground." The Duchess Anya had a pale face after the Beasts destroyed Zander's territory, Elliott County was the next region.
"We've all done various kinds of negotiations, but all those Legendary Beasts said that there was an order in their heads to destroy the Kingdom of Pendragon once every 10 years. They would be in a rampage mode for ten days in the same day, and month. Even that command had existed for generations to that Legendary Beast. Originally only 1-2 Legendary Beasts had attacked. " Ray said.
Lazarus thought of something about Merlin. "Are they already exposed to the Mind-Controlling Magic Skill?"
"No way! How, there was a Beast Controlling magic that could control Legendary Beasts unless..," Ellar widened her eyes aware of something.
"Well, someone of the Mythical realm controls them." Duchess Anya said.
"Mythical Beast Ancient Green Illusion Willow was a Willow-like Beast that was taken care of by Sage Merlin. He obtained the seed of that tree Beast from the Golden Sun Continent. I know that Willow Tree that guards the Dungeon tomb of King Arthur and the place where Red Dragon Ignis is confined. With top-tier illusory Magic and Legendary/Mythical realm he could definitely trick the eyes of the Gold Dragon Evanthe, "inner Lazarus.
"Is that just your wild assumption? Only a Mythical realm person with a Job Sage can control mind-controlling magic to control many Legendary Beasts! In the Western Continent only a few people have Job Sage! Focused in illusion magic." Winston yells.
"Did I say the Humanoid race is using illusion magic?" Lazarus smiled softly.
"Plac! Plaque! Plaque!"
A handsome man with short golden hair and golden eyes clapped his hands at Lazarus' words.
"I'm sorry Mr and Madam, my name is Sieg I am the leader of the Golden Dragon Party." Sieg smiled letting out an incredible charisma.
Everyone became noisy hearing the name of Party Golden Dragon Rank S which according to rumors was more as powerful as Party Golden Lion Rank S in the past. The party had 7 members who had already reached the Epic realm and its members had strong strength and background.
"Prince, Si-siegfried Ze-zephyra! legendary assassin Green Dragon Taras and owner of Mythical Sword Durandal!" Viscount Winston said with a trembling voice.
"What you said, is all true. All the Beasts in this world have their own characteristics and uniqueness. We once went to the Eastern Continent in the Kingdom whose king and inhabitants were puppets due to being affected by the magic of a Legendary Beast Ancient Bloody Ilussion Willow which was a Variant of the Ancient Green Ilusion Willow." A long golden-haired woman covering her eyes and face said.
"Wait on! Ancient Green Illusion Willow is located in the Eastern Golden Sun Continent! How, maybe that Beast is in the Kingdom of Pendragon!" The embarrassed Winston tried to deny.
The woman put away the golden hair that covered her face revealing an extremely beautiful face similar to Sieg's. Theresia Zephyra or Golden Rose Princess she is a first order beautiful woman in the Western Continent. In fact, according to rumors her beauty exceeded that of Saint Iris.
"Are you not aware that the Forest King is where the Sage Merlin broke through the Demi God realm and went to the upper realms. I think it was Sage Merlin who planted the Beast tree there." Theresa said in a beautiful voice.
Lazarus charmed Theresia's beauty until he did not blink when he looked at Theresia. Alyssa and Freya who noticed it pinched Lazarus waist hard.
"Both of these twin brothers besides having very good looks they are both also very smart."
Viscount Winston sweated he had already been humiliated many times by Lazarus, he looked at Lazarus with a murderous gaze.
"It's all because of that guy! I have to kill him!" inner Winston.
Noticing the gaze of Viscount Winston Lazarus smiled subtly.
"Bajingaaaaan!"
Viscount Winston suddenly attacked Lazarus using the Long Sword that was on his waist. As a Legendary realm person he had high self-esteem. At first he thought of becoming someone Fisher and running away from the Pendragon realm because everyone definitely needed someone of the Legendary realm he would be acceptable anywhere. Lazarus, however, foils all his plans.
"People!"
Gun sounds heard . Ellar and Leo stop Winston's attack.
"Do you want to kill someone inside the meeting room?" Ellar says.
"Haha. Although I am cruel, but I can't bear to see the trash before my eyes!"
He felt he had no chance and he was going to die. Winston who had no choice shouted. "I will take you to die with me! Quickly give way out! Or I'll blow myself up here!" Winston absorbed the mana from the surroundings very quickly.
Everyone gave way to the door to the outside. A Legendary realm person who blew himself up could destroy anyone within a 100-meter radius. Even though, they survived they would still be injured.
"Young man, I will remember your face! Then, I will torture you so that you will beg for death!" Winston shouted and ran outside the tent.
When Winston was outside the tent suddenly a Gold-colored flame burned Winston's body.
"Ahhhh! Whatisthis? How can this fire burn my Demon body that has already broken through the Legendary realm? Help u! I don't want to die!" Winston glanced at Almer.
"Death Brother!" Almer said using voice telepathy.
"I have to live!" Winston yells. t
Winston's body slowly changed, on his head grew a pair of bull-like horns and on his back grew a pair of wings. And a long tail like a lizard.
"The demon!" Everyone is screaming.
"Invader! Kill that Demon!" Ellar and everyone of the Legendary realm charged towards Winston.
"Man, I'll take revenge!" Winston flew into space quickly, but Diana immediately took out her bow Artifact and arrow, then shot Winston's wings and Almer threw his spear right at Winston's neck.
"Ahhhhh! Man and Dragon.. Not only am I a high rank Demon among you! In time the entire world will be ruled by the Demon!" Winston's last words while staring at Almer before dying.
