Chapter 178: Human Deceptive Behavior

The giant rock golem stood outside Monte Town’s East Gate, like a god that had descended from heaven. All the magical beasts within a few hundred meters were sent flying backward. Then, it pulled its drill-shape thick arm and slammed it downward. More than ten magical beasts that could not dodge in time were crushed into meat paste.
The remaining magical beasts retreated in panic; the six-armed Herculean ape led them away. The ape stared at the giant rock golem in shock and bewilderment. It grabbed some soil from the ground, rubbed it a few times, and turned it into massive ice before it threw it at the giant rock golem.
The giant ice streaked across the sky like a meteor and crashed into the giant rock golem. With a muffled bang, a yellow light flashed on its body. There was not a single scratch on it, but it stopped for a moment.
The demonic ape began to roar when it realized that its attack was ineffective. The panic in its eyes gradually faded away before it spread its wings and retreated again. As it withdrew, it used the giant ice spell to attack the giant rock golem again.
Even though the giant rock golem was a platinum-tier summoned creature with astonishing attack power, its movement was slow, and it only had simple intelligence. It could not black the ape’s attack effectively.
The giant ape looked proud, as if it did not think much of the rock golem.
As it walked beside the giant rock golem, the monstrous ape raised its hand and prepared to call another giant ice. However, at that moment, a huge claw rested on its shoulder and pressed down on it.
It turned its head; it was a ten-meter-long ice field wolf, and it stood behind the ape. The wolf stared at the ape with a cold gaze as its snow-white fur fluttered in the wind. It had a powerful aura.
Roar!
The demonic ape roared furiously. Two more apes rushed forward from behind and surrounded the ice field wolf.
Magical beasts were territorial, and those that had run out of the Misty Forest were carnivorous beasts. The three-headed demonic ape had led them. Then, the ice field wolf appeared, and it looked like it had wanted to fight for their territory. How could they endure it?
The three-headed demonic ape did not hesitate; it immediately stretched out its arms. Its six arms were covered with a layer of hard ice. The ice covering their fists was exceptionally thick and heavy; it made their fists look like giant hammers. The eighteen arms turned into indistinct phantoms; they smashed on the ice field like demonic wolves.
That was another of its skills—the silver-tier Chaotic Cloak Hammer technique. Its chaotic attacks contained violent power; each was heavier than the previous one. Even a steel plate would shatter under its attack.
The air compressed into an arc before the attack landed, and shallow pits appeared on the ground as snowflakes fluttered in the sky. That combination drowned the ice field wolf’s figure.
“Argh!”
Someone on the city wall yelled out in surprise. They had not even recovered when they saw the giant rock golem when they saw the fight between those beasts. They were shocked. That years’ magical beasts were too strange; they seemed smart enough to break into the city, so why did they kill each other then?
The doubts in their hearts were quickly answered. They heard a human voice from the snow. “Gold-tier fighting technique—Snowfall Breathing Cannon.” Then, a snow-white light pierced through the fog and turned into a light pillar that was more than ten meters long. It swept across the surroundings; it even cut off a layer of the ground as it pierced through the chest of the three-headed six-armed Herculean ape.
The light pillar fell, and the fog dissipated. The ice field wolf walked out from a pile of snow. Its body squirmed and shrank before it turned into a strong man in armor. He looked tough. He raised his foot and stepped on the chest of a six-armed Herculean ape that laid on the ground and wailed in pain. He reached out and stroked its hair as he howled into the sky.
“This feels great! I have seen so many magical beasts in Blackmoon Castle for the past few days, making me depressed. Now, I feel strong!”
The brawny man was Ron. Two days ago, he had set off from Blackmoon Castle toward Monte Town. When he arrived, he saw that the magical beasts had broken into Monte Town, so he took action.
For more than a week, he had been treated as a slave by the Blackmoon Castle. Anyone who saw him would give him orders. He had been suppressing his anger.
“You magical beasts are lucky. If Young Master Watson didn’t order us not to kill any magical beasts, I’d kill you already. Too bad he wanted us to capture you.”
Ron stepped on the ape’s chest and stomped on it. “I’ll give you two choices—surrender or die.”
The ape howled and crawled up from the ground. It put its six arms together and laid on the floor. It trembled as it lowered its head. It seemed like it had chosen to surrender. The thousands of other magical beasts followed suit.
“That is a smart choice.”
Ron might have said that, but his eyes showed a different emotion. He had wanted the magical beasts to resist; then, he would have a reason to kill them to vent the anger in his heart.
“Ron, why are you only back now? Where’s Audrey?”
With the help of a few guards, Gerant had left the East Gate’s city wall and walked in front of Ron. His expression was a little agitated. “Forget it; now is not the time to talk about that. Since you guys are back, there is hope for Monte Town! Magical beasts have attacked us in all four directions, and many people are fleeing the town. Hurry up and help us.”
“Mayor Gerant, long time no see.”
Ron turned to look at him and said, “It’s fine if you help.”
Gerant’s expression immediately changed. “What do you mean?”
“I mean, you don’t need my help. Monte Town is fine. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look.” Ron raised his hand and pointed at Monte Town.
Gerant looked in the direction of his finger, and he saw a scene that surprised him. There were more than ten giant rock golems around the town; they rose one after another. Those rock golems had surrounded Monte Town to become a hundred-meter-high city wall; they had managed to block the gap in the original wall.
Other than that, there was smoke everywhere in the town. They could also hear roars from the magical beasts and cries of women and children from everywhere. Those sounds gradually weakened, and even the smoke had lessened.
..
A group of guards stood in front of Monte Town’s West Gate; they looked gloomy. They looked at the huge scaly magical beast with two bat-like wings—it looked like a lizard. The beast opened its bloodied mouth, which was filled with corrosive green mucus, and tore at a corpse. The luxurious clothes that the corpse had been wearing were torn, and its head was also in pieces.
That body belonged to the director of Monte Town’s City Defense Force. He was one of only four officials. He had been a silver-tier warrior, but he could not even withstand a single blow from the earth dragon, a silver-tier magical beast.
The earth dragon was a magical beast from the Dragon Clan’s bloodline. Even though it was not a full dragon, it was still the clan’s descendent, which allowed it to reach the peak of the silver tier. It had broken through the city wall with its breath which allowed thousands of magical beasts to invade the town.
“The Director is dead. We definitely won’t be able to live either.”
“Damn it! How are we supposed to fight against such a monster?”
Indignant voices echoed; they complained about the unfairness of the world. None of them had done anything bad in their life; why did they have to suffer such a tragic fate at the hands of those magical beasts?
Just as the soldiers were about to put down their weapons and prepare for their impending deaths, they heard a chant from the sky. A fireball that looked like the sun fell from the sky; it melted the snowflakes around the area. It had fallen onto the earth dragon’s body.
A magnificent peak silver-tier magical beast, a terrifying existence that could kill even a silver-tier elite in an instant, was engulfed in flames and burned to ashes before it could even let out a single cry. A deep, charred pit that was a hundred meters wide appeared on the ground. The earth shook as a huge mushroom cloud erupted into the sky.
A few figures dressed as mages descended on silver-tier magical beasts. Someone recognized them and cheered. “It’s the elders from the Mage Guild. They’re back. We’re safe now! Thank you, Mage Guild. Thank you, President Audrey. Hmm? Where’s president Audrey?”
They thought that Audrey was the one who had killed the earth dragon. After all, only Audrey, a gold-tier mage, could do so. However, they did not see her. They only saw Anna, who was once Mage Guild’s weakest member.
Those guards were puzzled. They were even more surprised when they heard the mages’ discussion.
“Really, Anna? Didn’t Young Master Watson say that he wanted to capture as many magical beasts as possible? That earth dragon could be sold for at least a few hundred gold coins, but you decided to cast a gold-tier spell on it. Do you know how much money we’ve lost?”
That was the vice president, Leonard. Anna curled her lips when he heard his complaints. “What could I have done? Who knew that the earth dragon was so weak? I only used half of my strength, and yet it still died. Leonard, I am the Mage Guild’s President now; please address my title properly.”
“Anna… President, I agree with Vice President Leonard’s words. No matter how strong the earth dragon is, it’s still a silver-tier magical beast. It didn’t look like you were holding back when you cast that spell too.”
“I agree too.”
Martin and Helibel, who were behind them, spoke as well. Anna waved her hand impatiently. “Yes, I know. Stop talking about that. I’ll just use one-tenth of my strength later and guarantee that I won’t kill any more magical beasts, alright? Go and catch those magical beasts; we’ll make a huge fortune when we sell them to Monte Town. We can’t let Ron get there first.”
A few days ago, she had consumed a sun gem in Blackmoon Castle to become a gold-tier mage, and she had not been idle. She had requested Watson to fuse the few silver-tier fire-elemental spells that she had mastered. After she had the gold-tier fire-elemental spell, the Sun Nova, she had to show it off her.
She only used half of her strength to kill the mighty earth dragon?
The city guards looked at each other in dismay. After they heard Anna and the others’ discussion, they felt numb. They realized that those people were not there to protect Monte Town. Instead, they wanted to capture those magical beasts and sell them to the people in town. What kind of deceptive behavior was that?
