BXBX NOVEL Chapter 317 It Killed Itself
Ella frowned slightly. She had naturally also sensed the activity below, and Hati did seem powerless from the looks of it. Disappointment flitted across her eyes, though it did not reveal itself on her face.
Ella smiled faintly and said, "If the duct beast is allowed to break free and escape into the depths of the reservoir, both of us will return empty-handed today… junior sister Ella, if you can let me have it, I will remember this debt."
His tone was filled with earnesty towards the end.
However, Ella\'s face remained impassive, not moved at all by his proposal. It was obvious that his collaboration with Govrin had already angered her. How could she possibly allow Wilson to get away with it so easily?
She rather prefer that neither of them obtain it than let Wilson have his way.
Ella glanced down as she gently bit into her red lips. Of course, she was still hoping for a miracle to happen deep in her heart.
What if the cerulean cub discovered a way to deal with the 1000-feet duct beast?
Wilson grew somewhat angry due to Ella\'s lack of response. "It seems that you\'ve not given up yet. Are you really placing your hopes into that useless mutt? That red one has only increased its size, I don\'t see any of these mutts capable enough to kill the beast. Junior sister Ella, when did you become so naive…"
Ella Abella ignored him, her powerful spiritual energy sweeping outwards as her attacks grew increasingly ferocious.
~BOOOM~
Just when all of the attention was focused away from the duct beast a huge blast occurred in the water.
The intense battle on the surface of the reservoir quietly came to an end, and peace returned to the area.
While Ella Abella stared at the depths of the energy reservoir in disbelief, Wilson also seemed to sense something, and immediately cast his gaze downwards, before his pupils abruptly shrank.
He too had seen the dazzling Duct Creation Energy crystal.
The sight of the crystal violently shook the heart of even someone like Wilson as he could not help but say, "How is this possible?!"
How had the 1000 feet duct beast suddenly died?
The two cubs gave the aura of a mere 1st tier martial animal, an existence akin to an ant before the 1000 feet duct beast even if he were to risk his life against it.
So how had the 1000 feet duct beast died?
In the face of such a scene, Wilson Sallow and Ella Abella could only look at each other, unable to comprehend.
While the two rankers were dumbstruck, the cubs jumped out of the depths of the reservoir. They shot forward the crystal to Ezra Zephyr who kept the Duct Creation Energy crystal into his bracelet in one swift motion.
"Sköll, Hati, let\'s go." The prince called out to them.
Upon hearing Ezra\'s call, the cubs somewhat reluctantly turned around and leapt as they landed on Ezra\'s shoulder.
The prince glanced at the Blood Slaughterer Peak disciples. There was no longer any trace of the arrogance from before. Each one was in an extremely pitiful state, gazes filled with terror when they looked towards him. He forbade the cubs from killing them but still, they appeared in this state.
They had clearly been thoroughly oppressed by Sköll earlier.
Ezra smirked at them, before moving again. The surface was quite calm and peaceful. Ezra gazed at Wilson and Ella, who had been staring at him from the beginning, and asked, "Hehe, is everyone done fighting?"
Ella\'s gaze was tinged with amazement as she stared at Ezra, unable to stop herself from asking, "They killed the duct beast?"
Ezra chuckled. "Actually, it killed itself."
The corners of Ella\'s mouth twitched slightly. How could a 1000 feet duct beast that could match a Foundation Establishment have killed itself?
"That cub changed my Rune boundary?!" It was at this moment that a voice sounded from behind Ezra Zephyr. He turned around, only to find Govrin approaching the water, his gaze tightly fixed onto Hati.
Ezra also slowly walked over, making it apparent that their battle was likewise over.
Govrin glanced at Ezra, strong wariness flitting across his eyes. In their duel earlier, he now finally understood just how immeasurable he was. No matter how he attacked with spiritual Runes, Ezra had been able to counter in an even fiercer manner, easily destroying all of his attacks.
It was obvious who was the superior one between them.
After dozens of exchanges, even Govrin.had to admit it no matter how reluctant he was. Ezra\'s mastery over imprints far surpassed his imagination.
Since he already knew what the outcome would be, Govrin stopped attacking.
As Govrin approached, his gaze locked onto the prince and the cerulean wolf. Wilson and Ella may not know what had happened, but the former had faintly sensed a strange disturbance from the rune boundary he had set up at the depths of the reservoir.
When all these observations were pieced together, he was almost certain that the cubs had modified his rune boundary, and then used it to slay the 1000 feey duct beast.
"Changed your rune boundary?!" Ella and Wilson were stunned, bewildered in their eyes as they looked towards the prince.
Although they were not proficient in runes, they did have a rough understanding of it. Hence, they clearly understood just how difficult it was to modify a rune boundary.
It required an extremely detailed understanding of the rune boundary.
But how could a martial animal be able to change the unique rune boundary?
Ella\'s mouth hung slightly open. Ezra merely smiled in response to the trio\'s puzzled gazes, not bothering to explain anything. He slowly took out the 1000 feet beast crystal.
The moment it appeared, Wilson Sallow and Ella Abella\'s gazes immediately shot over.
Wilson looked at the prince, a smile emerging on his rugged face as he said, "Junior brother if you give that item to me, I can make a promise that will surely interest you."
Ella shot a cold look at Kong Sheng. "Wilson, have you not given up yet?"
"Everything has a price, as long as one is willing to pay." Wilson smiled slightly. His gaze shifted towards the prince as he slowly said, "You should be junior brother Ezra Zephyr of Alchemic Rune Peak, am I right? If you give it to me, I will let you become the chief disciple of Alchemic Rune Peak."
Ella coldly snorted. "Wilson, every chief disciple made from facing countless challenges and adversity. You do not have the qualifications to give it."
Wilson smiled. "I may not have the qualifications, but I can make junior brother Lopap step aside."
A slight surprise flashed in Ezra\'s eyes. It was indeed true that Lopap was currently the greatest contender for the seat of chief disciple. If Wilson could make him step aside, Elder Lu\'s group would have a really good chance.
Normally speaking, it was an offer that tempted one\'s heart.
Wilson\'s smile grew even wider when he saw Ezra\'s appearance. "How about it junior brother Ezra?"
The prince seemed to fall into thought for a moment, before he smiled and said, "Your offer is indeed a little tempting…"
He grinned as he looked towards the frosty face of Ella. "What do you think senior sister Ella Abella?"
Ella shot him a cold look as she sneered, "I cannot offer the same."
She could clearly feel that the prince had been tempted and was intentionally asking her for an even better offer. When she ultimately rejected him, he could void their previous agreement with a clear conscience, and then proceed to complete the deal with Wilson.
Although such actions were quite shameless, Ella was a proud woman and refused to try and threaten him with their previous agreement. In her opinion, it would instead make her appear weak.
The prince sighed helplessly before smiling at Wilson. "Senior brother Wilson, although your offer is very tempting, I have to apologise, because I\'ve already planned on what to do."
Wilson and Ella were stunned.
The smile on Wilson\'s face turned slightly rigid as he softly said, "You\'re… rejecting me?"
He stared at Ezra, a faint sensation of danger spreading his smile.
In the Spirit Devouring Sect\'s outer mountains, a gold belt disciple actually dared to reject his offer!
However, the prince seemed to be unable to detect the dangerous sensation, merely smiling as he nodded with an apologetic face. "I\'m really sorry."
"Won\'t give it some consideration?" Wilson smiled again, his black stone-like eyes narrowing slightly.
The prince shook his head as if put in a difficult spot.
"Heh…" Wilson chuckled softly, shaking his finger twice at Ezra as he said, "You are quite interesting."
