Chapter 273 - Being Watched

On a bright night, the mist was blue and the whole Scorpion Bug Tree is lit up by thousand flowers shining in the night.

The battle of kings is ongoing and is life!

"Mommy who is that two individual?"

A young ba'ia human girl was looking at the giant flower projecting Jomel and his foe.

"They are the kings who will dictate and protect us."

"Really?" The little girl's eyes lit up.

"Yes."

The mother replied however, her expression is different. Of course, she supports the Last King however, in the big world the Strongest are the true kings!

To them, those who win are worthy of respect, and whatever the outcome would be they serving the other. Still, their fate is one of these two individuals' hands.

...

On the other side.

"Yilong, are you sure that our Last-king could beat that?"

Yilong is silent as he watches. When he fought all that King's minions, he can feel the oppression to him despite in the same level of cultivation.

"Hey,"

Everyone was waiting for him to reply. Because somehow they can feel that something is not right.

Yilong opened his mouth as he began to speak, "Actually, I'm not sure."

The other who was listening was shock and curious.

"What do you mean, didn't you already fought that king?"

One of the voices out as they knew Yilong was one of the top fighters and he often spars with the Last King who was fighting right now.

"Yes, But I never fought the other personally and only his minion and when I tried tricking him. It looks like he is looking forward to it as his battle spirit is high lit up."

The rest of the group was dumbfounded, "What do you mean?"

Yilong and the others are were the sparring partner of the monster bug king. They knew what is the dept of the power of the Last King. Killing him in the same level of cultivation would be impossible.

For their Last King right now is quite strong and the only beings who killed him is a group being which is only higher a little of cultivation compared to him. He even killed a lot of them before he died.

"I believe that the Last King is strong but the alienation in the enemy's eyes is so strong... It is like he is a higher looking down on me."

"We will see if they fought,"

The other one said as he waits for the barrier between the two Kings to open. They will treat the new King or the winner depends on what is his performance in the life and death battle.

"I believe that the enemy may be scary but he's just a newborn in a year old, his battle power is surely lacking compare to our Last King."

Yilong looks at their Last King and then to Jomel.

Then suddenly the curtain fell, the people that are watching are now can see and hear the two of them.

"I never knew that he looks like that," he muttered as he can feel the contradiction between their vibes while he is possessing the assassin bug beasts he fought.

...

On another side.

The people that Jomel saved, and played with within a year were looking at him. All of their gazes had an obvious look of admiration to him.

Vann and the cloaked person were surprised by the reaction of everyone. First of all, their King is not that acting as a true king.

He treats everyone the same, the only time that they are scared of is that whenever the king is bored and hungry.

However, they know that during their stay with him, he never once hurt a Ba'ia human. He is always gentle and eats bug beast under his command instead.

"The King is excited, his eyes are hungry."

The one who spoke is the person who often fought with Jomel in chess.

"What do you mean?"

Vann asked curiosity in it, the king acts like a normal person and never displayed a characteristic of a true king. However, the person that is often with highness knows the King too well and pokes his curiosity.

"I met a lot of people in the past, but the king is the most peculiar being I have met. He never looked down on anyone, to his eyes we are a part of nature so he never disrespects us. However, his other side is not..."

The humanoid beings said as he mutters, "How do I say this."

A moment later...

"I know, the King is the very meaning of a wild. Not because he is a devascorpion but because of his eyes. He only looks at everyone the same, however, he cannot hide it in his eyes that everyone... Is like."

"What ?"

"Like an evil who was looking at anyone to eat."

Vann scratches his head, "I honestly can't understand you."

"You will know after the end of this battle."

Vann and the cloaked person only look at him with peculiarity.

What is there to know about the king?

Why does he seem mysterious and dangerous?

"I wonder if the queen knew that the King is fighting right now." Another voice from the crowd said. Vann only furrowed his brows. He knew what is the meaning of the battle of Kings.

It's like you are putting your life on the line and if you put your life to the loser, fate would end up as a loser too.

'Of course, it's not just one queen, the current queen is also watching who's going to be their husband.' Vann thought.

Suddenly he turned around, "who did you put your life to win?" Vann asks the man in a cloak.

"I put my life to our King." He replied but Vann only stared at him, 'I know you are lying, the way you looked at the blood queen is a look of love abd the way you look at the King was extreme hatred.'

Vann turned his back once again to the cloaked man and said, "I hope you don't regret your decision."

"I know."

The cloaked man replied as he clenched his fist tightly. Vann knew that is this gut but he just kept silent as he didn't want to bother about it since it is not his business.

Vann remembered what he kept telling this man, Vann already experienced a lot that's why he knew what is this guy's thinking.

"It's hard to break the rule of nature."

Flashback...

Before Jomel and the queen met, he, the cloaked man is the one taking care of the queen. She is like a child that has no idea about this world, curious as she is always been.

She often asked him what are the things outside, how beautiful it is and her wish to see the world and the bright daylight.

She may be arrogant at first when he met her because she is born powerful however, she is still a being with no experience in the life outside. She also became excited and quite close to him and days passed.

The cloaked man felt like he is in love with her. Her smile is the most beautiful thing for him. And from the bottom of his heart... He promised that he will protect her.

He promised!

"I will protect you forever and won't let anything happen to you, I promised!" When she heard him l saying, she hugged him tightly and lovingly like a little sister.

However, when a year came, her actions and movement changed! She is looking for a mate, her pheromones were left where the Lost king is but they cannot get in because the lost king is still in battle and was tanking every problem they are supposed to have.

He was happy that someone is protecting them for free however, the queen became distant. The more she is hungry and lusty formate but queens are always attracted to the strongest.

The trauma that the Lost King made him unforgettable for her!

That day he trained and trained to surpass and show the queen that he is the most worthy for her!
