449 Chapter 449
The armor that was once on Zeutsu's body had already been severely broken by Theo's attacks and now, being scratched by Judith, shattered even more.
"Get away from our Patriarch, you insolent woman!" A group of men with yellow wings made of lightning flew in the air.
"Get your dirty paws off my dad!" A young man with long blond hair and black eyes looked at Judith with anger and hatred.
"Didn't you see what this monster did?" Judith asked incredulously.
"It means nothing that my father manipulated your father and controlled an insignificant woman!! In the end, all women are nothing but trophies. There are only trophies with higher values; that's all. Besides, that stupid woman killed herself. My dad had nothing to do with her death," Zeutsu's son said arrogantly, as if that were the truth of the world.
Upon hearing this, all the women present were furious. No woman would like to be called a man's trophy.
Before they knew it, because of this comment from Zerebos, son of Zeutsu, all the women next to Theo and even Waru and Athena surrounded these men.
"No! Leave my son alone. He did nothing wrong!" Zeutsu shouted. He loved his son very much and even though he was going to die, he still preferred that his son lived.
Zeberos' teeth were chattering. He looked around and found himself surrounded by multiple women with extremely powerful and threatening auras, full of murderous intent, 'I only told the truth, something that my father always taught... Because of that, these silly women are angry?'
If it weren't for the fact that she was digging into Zeutsu's chest, wanting to kill him with her own hands, Judith would have loved to kill some of those men who loved to say that women were nothing but trophies for men.
When Zeberos was attacked by Athena, who held a blue sword and cut off Zeberos' arm, he went into despair by retreating backward with his wings of lightning. He shouted, "No! You misunderstood me! I didn't mean that all of you are men's trophies, just that a few are. But you are fantastic: clearly superior to men. In this case, the men would be your trophies!..."
Seeing that he was at risk of dying, Zeberos, who feared death, began saying many irrational things. This even surprised the other men who were Zeutsu's disciples; they stayed surprised, and disappointed.
"Heh. No matter what kind of woman she is, in my eyes, all women were born to serve men. What's more, even though you are a little strong, in the end you are still inferior to us men!" One of the men shouted arrogantly, but before he could be happy about what he said, tree branches began to emerge from all over his body.
It was not known when Waru, who was smiling this whole time, moved, but when she decided to act, even Zeutsu was not confident of beating her.
This boy did not have a good ending; the branches of his body continued to expand. No matter how loudly he screamed, the branches kept growing in and out of his body. When his body exploded, the organs, skin, and blood flew everywhere, and from inside the man's body, a sakura tree appeared and fell towards the ground, taking up root.
"I have nothing to do with this! Leave me out of it!!" Zeberos flapped his wings and flew in the opposite direction from Waru. Waru's smiling face made him tremble with fear; he wanted to stay as far away from her as possible.
But… although Waru did not follow him, Athena followed him. She was one of the four cultivators of the Monarch Spiritual Realm and one can already imagine how powerful and fast she was.
"No!!!" Zeberos screamed pitifully and that was when Athena cut him in two.
"Humph! Go say in hell that we women are trophies for men!" Athena spoke disdainfully and returned to Waru's side.
Little Yui, with her nimble wings, flew and took the two parts of Zeberos' body, keeping it in her storage ring. 'Hehe~ Dad is going to praise Yui.'
Watching the mischievous little girl do this, Yuki wanted to laugh. She already knew her daughter's purpose in doing such a thing, although for those who didn't know, they were confused by this. They wondered what the intention of this little girl was to do this, but ended up ignoring it as there were still other men who remained alive, who had before said that women were all trophies for men.
"Wait, let's talk. I just said what I was taught by Patriarch Zeutsu. I didn't even believe it; he brainwashed me and made me think that this is how things work!" One of the men decided to place the blame on Zeutsu when facing his death.
"Yes, Welton is right! It was all Patriarch Zeutsu's fault!!" The other men agreed.
This came as a shock to Zeutsu. He had raised these children as if they were his sons. He loved and cared for them but ended up being betrayed by them. Even his son wanted to leave him and run for his life. It was such a shock, it almost made him pass out in anger. "You bastards, ungrateful!"
"Don't think you're a victim here just because you were betrayed by the people you trusted. You will still die for me!" Judith was not going to let him get away with it. She continued to dig into his chest and completely ignored his cries of pain and regret.
When she finished digging a hole in Zeutsu's chest, Judith mercilessly went towards the heart and squeezed it with her small, delicate hand. The sound of a *Clack!* echoed when Zeutsu's heart was crushed.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Zeutsu took his last breath while screaming in pain and stopped breathing moments later.
When Judith had killed Zeutsu, she was pleased to have avenged her father and sister, but she also felt an emptiness in her chest. She felt that her life was meaningless. She lived, believing in something, only to find out that everything she thought was wrong. It was difficult to deal with.
'Father, Esmeralda... Forgive me. I have been blind for all these years!' Judith closed her eyes tightly while feeling immense pain in her heart.
As for the other men, the women who surrounded them did not feel sorry for them. Each of these women killed the men together. Although those who were killed by Waru turned into trees, those who had only been cut down were sneakily collected by Little Yui, who laughed quietly.
"Hehe~ Dad, Yui has achieved many good things." Little Yui's tinkling laughter sounded like the ringing of bells.
"Good girl." Theo praised her and kissed her little face.
Now people understood why Little Yui did all that, it was all to be praised by her dad.
Afterwards, Theo kept the body of the late Zeutsu. Although it looked like it was kept in Theo's storage ring, Zeutsu's gigantic body was kept inside the [Dimensional Room].
Of course, Judith didn't complain when she saw Theo do this. She didn't kill Zeutsu because she had skills; she only succeeded because Theo immobilized Zeutsu.
Theo returned to his standard form, with only a fox's ears and ten tails, but other than that, he had no other animal aspect. He looked at Apollo and asked with a smile, "Do you still want to have a fight against me?"
"Err. I really like to fight, but I don't want to die... Can we just have a friendly duel? I'm still going to give you the magic cores. What do you think about that?" Apollo, flying with wings of yellowish-red fire, asked.
"OK, let's go," Theo agreed.
