READ WEBNOVEL Chapter 53: Minato vs. Lord Beast
"The Overlord! Is that you, Master?" Lord Beast's red eyes narrowed as he felt the doors opening.
What came out was a man in his early twenties and a little brat with ludicrous long hair. Those two immediately lifted their eyes to look at the beast.
Their eyes met.
Lord Beast stared at Minato primarily.
His primary focus was Minato's Overlord Rune.
"You two are... strange..." Lord Beast whispered, "That spirit doesn't belong to you... You two aren't really connected... A foreign entity appeared in your rune... And you... You... You are..."
Lord Beast was a vast snake.
It filled the whole room with its coiled body. His head was similar to the dragon one, however. Long tendrils floated around his nose as he scrutinized Minato's appearance...
That snake wasn't an ordinary Lord Beast, either.
It had killed a few newbie overlords already!
It wasn't like Ingrid didn't know about it.
The Lord Beast's Victory erased the memories about the overlords.
Each time a new Overlord appeared, the elven queen welcomed them officially.
That meeting was different from Minato's, as the hatred's personality never did bloom in her.
Furthermore, the newbie Overlords cared about the dungeon and its rewards. They didn't have time to think about women, nor did they have enough possibilities to dual cultivate with them as quickly as Minato.
Well, no one had Fox Wife.
Their goal was to gain strength, absorb the dungeon, and then start the hierarchy later.
That was why Ingrid was able to preserve her virginity for so long. The Overlords she met didn't request any dual cultivation because it just needed time.
When they entered the Lord Beast's room, they all vanished under its fangs!
"You... You have snatched... blade..." Lord Beast's tone quivered.
It stared at Minato with incredulous eyes, then those flashed with thick killing intent! The already red eyes deepened, and the whole hatred bloomed within the beast!
"I WILL ERASE YOU FOR MY MASTER!" Lord Beast's form took a tremendous shape!
Two arms popped from its lifted snake body! Deep red scales lined up across its snake body, then two horns popped out of its head!
The snake turned into a dragon!
A dragon that was ready to kill Minato!
Minato and Aya stared at the transformation with big eyes.
"Husbando Overlord! I think he said something important!" Aya heard that existence's words well...
Her heart trembled when that man called her a foreign spirit! That hurt her more than anyone, including Minato, could even imagine.
Minato also inferred, "This Lord Beast doesn't really act like one... It's like a guardian... He protects Heaven Sword's Blade... But I managed to snatch it already, so it's mad..."
No one mentioned anything about 'the master', so who was this lord beast talking about? Was the hatred within the Lord Beast more knowledgeable than others?
Minato's eyes flashed with new desire, "We will make him speak!"
Aya nodded, "His abilities should be Dark Miasma's Breath, Heavy Rush, and Sharp Tip Blade!"
"A MERE SPIRIT KNOWS MY FORM?!" Lord Beast yelped, then let out one of the skills mentioned above.
Dark Miasma's Breath escaped through his mouth and nose, filling the whole room!
Minato conjured two magic circles!
The first one was Transfer, then the second was Wall Box!
Minato used this combination of magic circles so much he learned how to quickly draw them in such a form!
Once the box appeared before him, Minato transferred all hatred to it!
Lord Beast's eyes dilated, "Ridiculous!"
The whole dark mist shivered under Minato's transfer force, and it escaped to his box! He did it so seamlessly that Aya chirped from happiness!
On the other hand, Lord Beast howled in indignation, "How can you control my force that easily?!"
"Because you suck?" Minato smiled, then rushed forward!
He was far from fast, but with his opponent's body this big, did Minato need a lot of time? He quickly appeared before the dragon, then his hand flew toward its scales!
Those scales looked tough, so it was time to test what was tougher!
Minato's Overlord Physique...
Or...
Those scales!
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Lord Beast once again cried.
This time, anguish and pain contorted its eyes and jaw. His whole body trembled as Minato's strength swept through his body! That force drew a few ravines throughout its scales, lowering its defenses heavily!
Minato's eyes rose, and he saw the powerful jaw going down at him!
"From behind, Husbando Overlord!" Aya's warning also rang out!
It was a combination of jaw and snake's tail tip attack!
Minato turned off his Transfer Magic Circle.
He conjured his transparent wall before himself, then extended his hand forward to intercept the incoming fall!
BANG!
Minato's body just sank a little into the ground.
He never blinked and stared back into the Lord Beast's eyes. That fall was like falling into Minato's trap as he grabbed the dragon's jaw!
Under his force, more cracks spread across the beast's body!
It howled!
Minato shouted, "Who is your master?!"
"AN EXISTENCE THAT DESERVES ALL IN THIS UNIVERSE!" The Lord Beast replied, then tried to yank off Minato's hands, to no avail.
It was now his wish!
Minato clicked his tongue, then called out, Aya!
His spirit knew what to do!
She fished out an Evil Seed from her treasure ring, then pushed it to Minato's box! A combination of [Kill] and [Transfer] happened!
Minato groaned and spat out a little blood, "Damn it... Three magic circles are quite a lot..."
Lord Beast didn't miss that chance.
As Minato's wall disappeared from his back, it let out its tail attack! It cut through Minato's back, leaving a deep wound on his back!
Minato didn't care and just smiled.
"A little blood is fine... You can't shake off my hands, so you can't kill me with your tail! You are going to die... Do you want to die with your secrets?" Minato asked while his magic circles sucked away the monster's hatred.
Its eyes flashed, but nothing came out of its lips.
Even if that Lord Beast wanted to share anything, it couldn't. It knew about the Master and a person who deserved all in the universe, but that was all.
It wasn't hard to connect the dots, however.
The person behind the hatred was that master.
Minato just wanted to know who it was precisely and whether this person was known across the universe already.
"So you just die like that?"
After Minato's magic circles erased the hatred from the Lord Beast, its body turned into ashes. Those ashes went down through small cracks in the ground, leaving Minato alone with his spirit.
He turned around and faced his Evil Seed...
"What will come out of it?" He thought, then turned around toward Aya.
His spirit was quite sad due to the lord beast's words.
