Extra chapter...
The king of the spirit beasts that rule the inner section of the cursed wilderness had three powerful guardians that were on par with the spirit beast kings under him.
Abyss minotaur, a spirit beast that resembles a wild bull that could destroy anything in its way.
Serpent imp, a mutated snake-type spirit beast that has a demon bloodline in it.
And the third guardian who was also the leader of them, Star lynx, a spirit beast which was even more powerful than the strongest beast king under the king of the spirit beasts.
They didn't use human forms because they loathe humans and if by any chance any human appears in front of then, they could play with him before killing him.
"Star Lynx, I was allowed by the king himself to call him as Big brother,"
How could the forest fairy king agree to such a death sentence without any retortion? So, he dodged the attacks from the two guardians, Abyss minotaur and Serpent imp while shouting at Star Lynx.
"My king was just saying that casually and you dare to call him by that? You deserve to die,"
This time, the star lynx himself ran towards Geron, baring his teeth at him.
"Wait..."
'Swoosh'
'Slash'
Before Geron could finish his words, the star lynx swiped his lynx claw at Geron and made a pretty deep cut on his chest.
"Aargh"
Geron was the most powerful spirit beast in the middle section of the cursed wilderness; however, in the inner section of the cursed wilderness, he was the weakest one that any spirit beast king could kill him.
"Why do you want to kill me?"
Geron could sense an intense killing intent from the three guardians as he didn't want why they wanted to kill him.
"Didn't I already say the reason for your death sentence? Don't play dumb, Geron,"
Star lynx looked at Geron as he revealed a low growl.
'Is he thinking I am that dumb to believe his reason for killing?'
Stopping the bleeding coming out from this wound, Geron scoffed at the three guardians as he started to think of the real reason for their full killing intent towards him.
"You are still thinking?"
Start lynx didn't attack Geron anymore as he waited for Geron to realize the true reason for their killing intent.
'Wait a second,'
All of a sudden, Geron realized something that made him understand why these guardians who were usually friendly with him turned hostile all of sudden.
"So, you finally got it, I guess,"
Star lynx revealed a satisfied look on his cat-face as he continued, "Since you already got the answer then you can finally die now,"
As soon as he finished his words, the star lynx signalled the other two guardians to kill Geron.
'Swoosh'
'Thud'
'Thud'
Serpent imp was moved without making any sound; however, that was not the case for the abyss minotaur.
Each time he took a step forward, the ground would shake.
'So, that is the reason why they are not allowing me to meet the king. No wonder, I am not even getting my share of cultivation resources properly from that time,'
As for Geron, he dodged the incoming attacks and started thinking about the day this all started.
According to Geron, it all started when his son was elevated to another province. When it happened a couple of years ago, the king of the spirit beasts praised Geron for raising such a son and at the same time allowed Geron to call him 'Big brother'.
This thing displeased all the spirit beasts under the king and even guardians didn't like Geron.
From that time, all kinds of troubles started for Geron; however, Geron didn't mind them before they could not openly kill him without proper reason; however, now the guardians wanted to kill him when the king was in a deep sleep.
'I have to try my best; otherwise, there is no one left to protect my daughter,'
Geron knew that it was impossible to escape from these three guardians but he didn't give up as he started using his full power against them.
In this world, only Keshe was the last blood-related family he had and without him, she would be either killed or forced to bear children for other spirit beast kings.
"Even if I die, I will take you along with me,"
Even though he was not a match for the three guardians, if he used some secret techniques, he could destroy his enemies along with him.
'Otherworld treants, I summon you,'
Without wasting any time, he summoned 10 treants that were around six meters in height.
Treats are the beings that looked like trees that were capable of walking.
Their branches were full of green leaves and as soon as they were summoned they surrounded Geron.
'Adf fjfj erf'
Holding the hands of each other, all 10 tree treants started muttering something in a low but audible tone.
'Huh?'
Seeing that both abyss minotaur and serpent imp stopped in their tracks and curiously looked at the actions of those treants.
"That is child's play,"
As for Start lynx, he shook his head at Geron before roaring at his two subordinates, "What are you waiting for? Just kill him."
'Yes, leader,'
Both the spirit beasts nodded their heads rushed at Geron with full force.
'Boom'
However, just when they slammed into one of the treants, they were blasted off into a couple of meters shocking them.
"Leader, I think, they created a barrier around him,"
"Our strongest attacks are not even able to make a dent in it. You can use your strongest attack, leader,"
When they rushed towards Geron earlier, they used their full-fledged attacks. So, they didn't bother to waste their energy on the barrier before asking their leader to attack him.
'I have to hurry up and wake up the big brother,'
After forming the barrier, Geron didn't waste any time as he shouted to wake up the king of the spirit beasts from his sleep.
"Big brother, you need to wake up"
"Please wake up"
"Big brother,"
'Clap clap'
Seeing that, the star lynx started slamming his lion tail to the ground as though he was clapping for Geron's idea.
"No wonder, even without a power that was equal to the 12 spirit beast kings, you are able to become a king with a barrier,"
Start lynx didn't mock his subordinates as he knew how powerful their strongest attacks were and they didn't expect Geron to have such a strong barrier as his trump card.
Until now, no one knows how Geron was able to gain the title of spirit beast king from the king of spirit beasts without showing his power in front of others.
However, they know, he was the weakest among all the spirit beast kings.
"If not for the king's order, you would have already died a gruesome death the moment you become the king of the middle section of the cursed wilderness,"
Start lynx walked forward and stopped just an inch away from the treant barrier around Geron and said to him.
"Now, you are going to die. So, save your breath,"
As soon as he said that, he opened his mouth and pointed at Geron as though he was about to use some skill.
