Chapter 1719 - Invited Into The Banquet
Outside the Alstreim Family, two groups looked at each other as they smirked.
"Oh my, what a coincidence. I didn't think the kind Everlight would be up to no good."
A melodious voice echoed of a mature woman in the skies as a forty-meter tall avian magical beast with an eighty-meter wide wingspan flapped her wings, bringing it with a tide of wind waves that appeared stormy yet fiery around her as tyrannical scarlet flames danced around her, adorning her feathers and even the flaming crest on her crown.
"I'm not the same as you. Actually, can you not talk to me? I have nothing to talk to a tyrannical bird like you, Quara."
.
A forty-meter tall wolf with white wings that possessed a wingspan of sixty meters flapped against the fiery winds, creating a hue of light that made the fiery winds fade into the light as they clashed. Neither seemed to give in as they swung disastrous winds that would burn a town into ashes at each other.
These two were none other than Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beasts, the Scarlet Tyrant Hawk, and the Light Sky Wolf!
"Who dares to make trouble here?"
Abruptly, pitch-black energy appeared between them at the place where the winds crashed, causing both of their eyes to go wide as they stopped.
"…!?"
Looking at the wicked wolf who suddenly appeared between them as her undulations completely overwhelmed them, they became astonished, but at the same time, they were also shocked to see the tiny wolf's size.
They had heard it was the case, but to see the wicked wolf's size with their own eyes, they were truly dumbfounded.
Why was she so small!? The wicked wolf is not even the height of a human!
As far as they knew, Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beasts were all extremely large, reaching more than fifty meters tall. If not, their wingspan or body length would be greater. Even the smallest Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast like a snake or centipede would at least be ten meters tall when pressed against the surface, but to see this wicked wolf appear so small, they really were not able to believe.
What kind of magical beast was this wolf called Nadia? Could it be because of having Death Laws as an attribute, her body can only support a little bit of vitality as a result?
They couldn't understand, but they instantly changed to their human forms along with their accompanying magical beast, a Scarlet Tyrant Hawk, and a Two-Tailed Phantom Cat that was thirty meters tall and fifty meters in body length, including its two tails.
The accompanying Scarlet Tyrant Hawk transformed into a man but stood behind Quara, indicating that his status was something lower than her. As for the Two-Tailed Phantom Cat transformed into a female and appeared gorgeous as Everlight, with dark blue hair adorning her head.
"Greetings, Nadia."
"Greetings, Queen Nadia."
They clasped their hands as a form of respect while the Light Sky Wolf, Everlight, even went on her knees as she could feel not only the ominous death energy undulations but also the queenly aura radiate from the wicked wolf.
On the other hand, Quara still stood as she kept her hands clasped. The winds blowing towards her made her scarlet hair sway, making her look immensely beautiful.
Even as a magical beast, she almost seemed perfect, wanting to make other magical beasts conquer her and humans enslave her in order to make her their mount. But when she transformed into a human, she even humans the idea of conquering her.
"I'm not your queen."
Nadia's voice echoed as she also transformed into her human form, her beauty and prowess transcending both Everlight and Quara as she made them feel inferior as she looked into their eyes, her golden eyes making them look away.
Simultaneously, a figure emerged from within the Alstreim Family City. The others only saw a glimpse of a purple-robed woman before she disappeared. The moment she reappeared, she was already beside Nadia.
'How fast…!'
Both Everlight and Quara were taken aback as their expressions became serious, and only did they then notice that this woman was not a human but a fey.
'The Hex Demoness…'
The two other legends that they didn't see were finally between them, making their hearts rapidly pound in nervousness that they felt that they could be more relaxed with the Emperor of Death, who wasn't this overbearing towards them.
A second later, both Evelynn and Nadia stopped releasing their undulations before the former's voice echoed out.
"State your reasons for this visit."
Everlight stood up but still had her hands clasped.
"Today, we magical beasts from the Magical Beast Sanctuary have something important to discuss with the Emperor of Death. Queen Nadia, please allow us to see his eminence."
"Similarly, please allow us to see his eminence." Quara echoed out once Everlight was done.
"If that's the case, then you two are invited to the banquet that is currently being held."
Everlight and Quara's eyes went wide.
Was there a banquet being held? They haven't heard about it or brought more people to enjoy, but they knew they were here to look after their own powers and couldn't afford to be distracted with beautiful-looking meat.
"Thank you."
"Then, let's be on our way…"
The two of them smiled at each other, both looking happy to have obtained the Emperor of Death's audience.
"Stop."
However, a cold voice echoed out, causing them to become stiff and wonder what now.
"I don't know what you're here for precisely, but if you want to take a step closer to the Alstreim City Capital, then you two have no choice but to have your cultivations sealed."
"What!?"
Everlight and Quara both shouted at the same time, looking offended.
"Why?"
Quara asked with a solemn look.
Evelynn simply raised her hand and gestured while looking graceful.
"You'll see when you get there. If you don't agree, then leave~"
The two magical beasts trembled, their expressions becoming complicated as they lowered their head, looking as if they were contemplating.
"All I can say is that if my husband wants to harm you, then you really won't survive even if you are in the safest place of your powers."
A proud voice left Evelynn's mouth as she smirked at them.
"…?"
Everlight and Quara's eyes couldn't help but tremble.
Were the rumors supposedly true? That the Emperor of Death can kill from anywhere? Such power truly did strike fear into the hearts of many of them.
"I understand. Old Cat and I agree to have our cultivations sealed."
"You…!?"
Quara turned to look at the Magical Beast Sanctuary and clenched her teeth. Now, even if she wanted to place some conditions, she wouldn't be able to do so.
"Good. Don't resist~"
Evelynn's third eye opened as a radiant blue light emerged out of her eyes. Her gaze that peered through the veil of karma shattered the void around Everlight and Old Cat, binding them with her robust Sealing Hex.
Everlight and Old Cat instantly felt powerless as they felt the radiant blue light fall on them. Their cores, which were the source of their energy and their body's meridians, were instantly sealed, which Everlight found to be atrocious yet full of wonder!
A magical beast that could seal a magical beast's cultivation with just a look? This was the first time she experienced such a technique.
'How terrifying…'
Everlight trembled as she experienced the Hex Demoness's power, which made her feel that the result would've been the same even if she resisted. However, instead of feeling down, it made her eyes flash in determination.
"How about you? If you're not willing, just leave."
Quara clenched her white teeth as she turned to look at Everlight, who regained her calm. She bit her lips, her eyes swaying left and right as she contemplated before her crimson lips moved.
"I'm willing."
"Young Miss…"
The man behind her looked panicked, causing her brows to twitch.
"Shut up!"
Quara berated him, a Peak-Level Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beast, before she looked at Evelynn.
"I agree to have my cultivation sealed."
Evelynn nodded as her third eye opened.
"…!"
Quara felt the same overbearing power instantly seal her cultivation. At the same time, she felt humiliated as the blood inside her body boiled, trying to break free of the Sealing Hex but was unable to do so no matter how she attacked the hex seal.
A few seconds later, she stopped trying as she controlled her instincts while the young man behind her did the same.
"Follow me~"
Only then did Evelynn speak and turn around, heading towards the Purple Guest Palace while Nadia disappeared. Soon, the two magical beast hegemons followed and arrived at the banquet hall, where they instantly noticed Iesha's presence and became shocked.
'Spirits!?'
However, they didn't act like fools and bowed towards the northern direction.
"Greetings, Emperor of Death. Congratulations on defeating the Dragon Families and enslaving the Zlatan Family~"
They both echoed the same words as they bowed.
"Welcome to my palace, Beauty Everlight, and Young Miss Quara."
Davis didn't stand up but gestured towards the southern direction as he smiled, "Please be seated and enjoy the rich and extravagant dishes of the Aqua Flood Dragon."
Both Everlight and Quara almost drooled on hearing the name. They had already noticed the aroma that if it weren't for the spirit seated beside the Emperor of Death, they would've looked at it and shamelessly asked for a piece or two.
Nevertheless, they thanked the Emperor of Death and sat on the empty southern side of the hall before they looked at the humans who surrounded them, instantly understanding why their cultivations were demanded to be sealed.
'Right, this is the Alstreim Family, where everyone else is weaker than the Emperor of Death, his two wives, and magical beast mount…'
Without even moving their fingers, they knew that they could probably kill some people in this banquet. This made them feel superior inside as a hegemonic power, but noticing the invisible suppressing aura a few of the individuals possessed, they still couldn't help but lower their heads and eat as they were told to.
