Chapter 424 A Monster From The Legend


    ??"Have you finished the task, dear?"Anna questioned with a smile, notingYuan''sreturn with Xi Meili by his side after dealing with the Blood Fang Boars.


    "Naturally, I managed to kill them all and put them inside my spatial ring; we now have a lot of fresh meat on hand."Yuan instantly responded with a nod and plummeted to the earth, storing his de in his system storage.


    "Xi Meili assisted hubby greatly, soI will have a generous piece of wonderful dinnerter."Xi Meili spoke forward with a pleased smileand her eyes shing with enthusiasm.


    "Is that true... ThenI''llmake something special for Xi Meili, hehe!"Annaughed after hearing XiMeili''swords.


    "Yay!I''mquite excited!"Xi Meili screams and leaps in joy, making Mireya and Valeriaugh at her juvenile behavior.


    Sylvia approached him quietly andbegan to studyhim from head to toe as if she were searching for something in his body.


    "Icouldn''tdetect anything exceptional about you, so howwere you able tofly with a sword? Is it because the sword is a powerful old artifact?"She muttered,her faceperplexed as she stared at Yuan, who appeared dazed.


    "There is no way for a person to fly unless they use a powerful artifact; your weapon must be anancientpowerful artifact."Sylvia thought, and nothing else came to mind.


    King Richard and the representatives from the other nations arrived on horses and looked at Yuan with curiosity.


    Yuan was dissatisfied with their treatment of him, and being stared at that way made him feel like a strange animal on disy, which he disliked.


    King Richard and Crown Prince Daniel observedYuan''sdispleasure with their behavior towards him and could only sigh inwardly, not saying anything.


    One thing wascertainafteryesterday''sbattle: Yuan was not someone they could approach casually, nor was he someone they should look down on since they managed to survive with fewer deaths.


    "Ineverwould''vebelieved it if Ihadn''tseen it with my owntwoeyes. I must say,you''relike a box stuffed with mysteries, Yuan."King Richard spoke while standingin front ofYuan, his gaze surveying him from head to toe.


    "You startled us by demonstrating your ability to fly, Yuan."Daniel nodded and continued,"This is the first timeI''veseen a human fly in the sky; not even Archmages like these two can do this."


    "Yes,"Archmage Isadora agreed and sighed."We''regreat wizards, yet flight is still impossiblefor us."


    She soonwent on to say,"Many mages are researching to construct a spell that will allow them to fly over the sky, but none of the tests have worked, and no one can fly right now."


    "Seeing you and the gorgeous demi-human girl soaring,we''rereally intrigued by how you did it; after all, no one has seeded in flying till now."Archmage Isadora spoke, her eyes bright with delight and expectation.


    ''Her tone indicated she was speaking to me. I can sense her desperation to acquire the secret from me...Unfortunately for her,it''snot a magical spell, but rather the natural avarice of humans.''Yuan pondered, as he had expected something simr to happen before.


    "Sorry, butit''snot whatyou''rethinking, Miss Isadora,"Yuan abruptly told Archmage Isadoa.


    "Mr. Yuan, what do you mean by that?"Yuan''sstatements perplexed Archmage Isadora, who gazed at himwith a troubled expression.


    "Mr. Yuan, please refrain from joking with us. There is no possibility we could make a mistake."Archmage Eldrick Stormcallerughed aloud.


    "Mr. Eldrink,"Grace came in, calling Archmage Eldrick byname,with an icy, murderous smirkon her face.


    "Aren''tyou a strong archmage? You should have been able to tell whether my darling and Meili utilized anything as ineffective as magicor not, so why are you doubting us?"


    ArchmageEldrick''sface twisted in disgust as he heardGrace''sharsh and frigidments. He felt humiliated and clenched his teeth in despair, attempting to contain his fury.


    Archangel Isadora disregarded Archmage Eldrick and approached Grace."Miss,could youplease tell us what you are trying to say? Idon''prehend at all."


    "Iapologize, but I do not think wewill be able toexin it to you.It''sa family secret, sodon''texpect us to share it.''Yuan swiftly rebuffed her before his mother, Grace, could speak.


    ''Isee…Hedoesn''twant to talk withthemand believesit''sa waste oftime.''Grace grinned within.


    "What if we wanted to buy the secret from you?"Archmage Eldrick spoke abruptly in an arrogant tone, a big grin on his face.


    ''You may be powerful, but in the end,you''rejust a kid; a few thousand gold pieces will suffice to extract the secret from your mouth.''Archmage Eldrick smirked deviously.


    "There is no negotiation for this."Yuan refused him casually, which enraged Archamage Eldeick.


    However, having already experienced Yuan and hiswives''strength, he was able to suppress his fury and sighed. Furthermore, General Valeria was nowYuan''swife, thus upsetting Yuan would also offend her.


    ''Sigh!''So close but so far...''Archamge Isadora sighed quietly, knowing shewould be unable toreveal the information to Yuan or his wives.


    King Richard sensed the uneasy mood and moved the ambassadors from other nations away from Yuan and his wives to avoid starting an altercation.


    As they marched towards theforest''scenter, they faced numerous formidable monsters,the majorityof which were S-


    rank monsters.


    As they moved farther into the forest, they saw fewer low-


    ranking monsters and more high-ranking monsters. However, Yuan did not assist them in dealing with the creatures.


    Instead, he dispatched the Monroe sisters to deal with the S-


    rank monsters; while their cultivation was insufficient tobatS-rank monsters, the weapons they possessed were rather powerful, so they would have no trouble fighting against S-rank monsters.


    Because Yuan did not join the fight and Rose, Julie, andAva''scultivation isratherlow, fifteen people died fighting the S-rank monsters, while thirty were gravely injured.


    However, because they have healing potions on hand to heal their wounds, theyare savedandtheir woundsare healed, but as a result of using healing potions, they are severely weary.


    Later, Yuan became aware of a tremendous presence ahead and immediately halted his steps. He then instantly used his divine sense to determine what kind of monsterwas obstructingtheir route.


    As soon as he deployed his divine sense, he noticed a gigantic wolf blocking their path a few hundred metersdistantfrom their current location.


    ''What kind of wolf is it? I sensed a powerfulmurderousaura...This monster is far stronger than anythingI''veseen previously.''Yuan''sexpression shifted fromseriousto excited.


    Not only did he detect the creature, but Anna, Grace, Emma, Xi Meili, and Lily did as well, using their divine sense to locate it, and their looks became serious when they saw the gigantic wolf.


    Valeria, Mireya, Leah, and Sylvia exchanged bewildered looks before Valeria inquired,"Yuan, what happened? Why did you alle to a stop so abruptly? Did you spot the monster ahead?"


    "Indeed,"Yuan agreed with a huge grinon his faceas if he was looking forward to something."Don''tworry,I''lltake care of it shortly."


    "Do you need my help?"She inquired as she spotted the fighting attitude inYuan''seyes.


    "Nah,I''mmore than capable of handling this little wolf."Yuan swiftly pulled his Empyreal Oblivion from his system storage and vanished, leaving Valeria, Mireya, and Sylvia stunned.


    Valeria turned back after Yuan had left and asked Anna,"Mother-


    inw Anna, do you happen to know what kind of monster Yuan is going to fight?"


    Before responding, Anna sighed deeply."It''sa formidable Peak SS-Rank monster—a Dark me Wolf!"Anna said this in aserioustone.


    "A-A, Dark me Wolf?!Isn''tthat the SS-rank monster from the legend?"Mireya almost burst out in amazement when she heard this; shecouldn''tbelieve her ears.


    "Indeed,"Grace replied, nodding."It''sthe same wolf we heard stories about when we were younger. A ferocious monster that employs ck mes to reduce everything in its path to ash."


    "Acreature that puts fear into the minds of those who heard the term,"Rose whispered in a low voice, her expression filled with amazement."Thest reported sighting of this creature was five hundred years ago; it is supposed to have destroyed a city before disappearing, never to be seen again."


    Mireya, Sylvia, Valeria, and Leah grow concerned aboutYuan''ssafety as they learn whatkind ofcreature he will face. However, Anna and the others convinced them that Yuan would be unharmed.


    At this point, everyone else began to sense themonster''soverwhelming presence and the immense violent aura it emitted, and the majorityof them froze in horror, their bodies no longer moving independently.


    "W-What was that violent atmosphere I felt just now?It''squite powerful!"


    "What kind of creature is blocking our way?We''relosing control of our bodies just by being present!"


    "It appears that we are all going to perish today!"People''sstartled and scared murmurs filled the air, everyone was quivering with fear, and the horses refused to continuefurtherbecause they sensed danger.


    Meanwhile, Yuan appeared behind thebigwolf, which was looking in the direction of everyone and releasing a powerful aura from its body.


    When the wolf sensedYuan''spresence from behind, it leaped back and gazed at him with a furious expression, killing intent radiating from its eyes.


    "Roaaarrrr!!!"The wolf let out a piercing roar, and the dark me surrounding his body intensified, making the surroundings extremelyhot,andcausing the ground to melt.
