On the right side, the first row, a magical beast shrouded in a robe stepped forward. To describe such a beauty as a magical beast was truly excessive. “By rights, this year should be Beast King’s last feeding, after which it would gain the most powerful strength. But the timing is much earlier than expected. According to our subordinates’ investigation, Beast King’s power isn’t even a tenth of what we estimated. Yet, the guards of Grace were still devoured—both their strength and souls—without any resistance. Right now, Beast King has no consciousness at all. We must retrieve it. In this unconscious state, if Beast King’s life is threatened, it’s very likely to use beast soul parasitism. If humans obtain this power, we’ll be in danger.”

Beast King is the only magical beast with devouring abilities—not simple devouring, but complete devouring. Ordinary magical beasts don’t even dare to resist in its presence. This is the strongest weapon created by the Beast Alliance. It will be the future king of magical beasts, the future leader, destined to lead the magical beasts to become the new rulers of this planet. After more than a hundred years, with just a little more time, Beast King would fully awaken. But now, such an incident has occurred: Beast King actually broke out of the magical beast forest. It’s unimaginable—if humans were to obtain Beast King’s power, what kind of impact would it have on the magical beast world? You must know, Beast King’s body contains a gene that suppresses all magical beasts.

At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the great hall. An orc rushed in. “Reporting to the Queen, something terrible has happened! Beast King’s corpse was found on human territory, but it seems parasitism has already occurred!”

The great hall fell silent. Every orc was stunned by this news. If the other Beast Alliances found out, they’d be finished. You have to understand, Beast King circulates among the various nations every year to achieve the most perfect feeding. Yet, an accident happened right here in their magical beast forest, and they even allowed Beast King to undergo parasitism—on human territory. So, who is the host?

Thinking of this terrifying consequence, everyone in the hall looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to say.

“Your Majesty, the most urgent thing now is to seal off the news, then find the beast soul and bring it here before it fully awakens. After that, we must urgently convene a council to deal with this. Otherwise, our magical beast forest will suffer devastating blows from the other alliances!”

Other magical beasts echoed in agreement. After all, the magical beast nations weren’t that united. If such a huge blunder occurred, it was clear that the plan to attack the humans would be delayed, and the orc warriors, with nowhere to vent their anger, would most likely take it out on the magical beast forest itself.

“Laura, fortunately the kings of all the tribes are still in slumber. We should use this time to start reconnaissance. I suggest sending elites to infiltrate the human world and search for Beast King’s parasitic host!”

The hall was filled with voices of approval. This was the only way to save their lives, and it concerned the very survival of the orc race.

Meanwhile, outside the magical beast forest, a super magical beast had appeared. In just one day, thousands of people were killed. Many soldiers didn’t even have time to react before being devoured outright. The Guardian families were fully mobilized, and finally, they discovered that nightmarish magical beast—a devilish black body with a metallic sheen, covered in rune-like patterns similar to those on a human body, and black hair trailing down to its feet.

The battle was utterly one-sided. The warriors of the Hermit Tribe suddenly realized that this magical beast had no weaknesses at all. It simply didn’t care about their attacks. As long as it brushed past them, the warrior’s life would end, leaving behind only an empty shell.

“Mason, I didn’t expect our lives to end here. It’s just a pity for the child in your belly. He should have been the strongest warrior of our tribe.”

A determined smile appeared on the young woman’s face as she gently stroked her slightly rounded belly. “Ben Carter, I have never regretted marrying you!”

Perhaps dying together wasn’t such a bad choice.

The magical beast continued its one-sided slaughter—or rather, its feeding. Even the Guardian clan had never seen such a powerful and bizarre magical beast, not even in the records of the apocalypse war.

But in the midst of the slaughter, the magical beast suddenly staggered, its movements slowing as if it were drunk. Even so, the surrounding warriors were still slaughtered to the last. This young couple, both experienced warriors and the strongest espers of the tribe, naturally noticed this anomaly. They launched an all-out attack, leaving the rest to fate.

To be honest, this attack wasn’t enough to harm the already tottering magical beast. But for some unknown reason, the magical beast, now nearly in a half-comatose state, suddenly opened its deep, dark eyes wide. From its mouth floated a pale, soul-like orb, which silently and effortlessly entered the young woman’s belly. Then the magical beast collapsed stiffly, and was shattered to pieces by the couple’s subsequent attack. The two of them were also knocked unconscious by the backlash.
