467 Loss of Intelligence

Awooo!

The Skysilver Beast King cried anguish as a wave of pain assaulted its head. Its clouded red eyes receded along with the last trace of Demonic Energy exiting its head as it quickly regained its clarity!

Leon quickly condensed the red mist and stored them in empty pill bottles before taking out some Tier 3 Golden Ointment and slapping them on the Skysilver Beast King's wound.

"Awo!"

The Skysilver Beast King howled.

It tried to shake Leon off its head once more, but Leon grabbed tightly onto its fur as it channeled Wood Energy into its head and sped up the recovery speed of its wound.

Shortly after, the Skysilver Beast King slowly stopped trying to shake Leon off as it felt the comfort of the recovery brought by his actions.

It was not long after that the rats resumed their relentless attack, causing the Skysilver Beast King's eyes to flicker with a cold glint.

It might not have remembered what happened in the past few hours, but the numerous stings and itches on its body told it that the rats were the culprit behind it.

"Awoo!" The Skysilver Beast King gave a mighty howl before sweeping that wave upon waves of rats with his tail swings.

Meanwhile, Princess Faelyn and Princess Thessalia heaved a soft sigh of relief. While they were observing from a distance, their hearts were lurching.

Although they guessed that Prince Leon had an incomparably tough body, they could not overcome their impression of Transcendental beasts.

The thought that a single smack from the Skysilver Beast King could shatter all the bones in the fragile bodies of humans and elves placed them on edge.

"It seems that everything worked out well." Princess Thessalia said. She could not help but become more curious about Leon.

This person wields many abilities. How did this person achieve this?

"Baby sister, tell me more about Prince Leon. What did you encounter in the Human Domain? How did the negotiations go?" She asked.

If all the human experts were as capable as Prince Leon, Princess Thessalia found it hard for their tribe to establish an alliance of equals.

Even if an alliance was established between them, it would be difficult to ask for land. Elvengarde would not offer up a portion of their forest if a large group of humans moved in either.

No matter how Princess Thessalia looked at it, she could not see any reason for the humans to accept them unless they…

Princess Faelyn pulled herself closer to her sister's ears before she whispered, "In order for elves to have a place in the Human Domain, Supreme Elder Haldir negotiated for the elves to all become subjects of the Crawford Empire."

"What?"

However, after a moment, she sighed in defeat, "That's the only way, huh?"

"Yes."

Princess Faelyn nodded.

Shortly after, Princess Thessalia frowned, "Father would not accept this decision, and many Elders might also support his objection. Now I am afraid something will happen back in the tribe."

"Not a surprising outcome. You won't find many people in positions of power who are willing to give up their authority to live under another person's rule, let alone another race." Aria casually commented.

Princess Thessalia turned to face Aria and said, "Miss Aria was aware of this possibility but still came to our tribe with Prince Leon; are you not afraid of what would happen if the Supreme Elder fails to convince the rest of the tribe?"

"I don't care about that. I only care about one thing."

"Oh? And what is that?"

Aria gazed into the distance and smile, "Wherever he goes, I go."

Swoosh~!

Leon flew over and sent out a flame wave, clearing out the rats attacking the vine wall before landing shortly after.

Aria immediately dived into his embrace before Leon turned to the others and asked, "What are you all talking about?"

"Nothing much." Princess Thessalia shook her head before asking, "How is the Skysilver Beast King?"

Leon shortly turned around and pointed, "As you can see, it has recovered slightly and will continue to slaughter rats without affecting the forest. However…"

"However?" Princess Thessalia asked with a raised eyebrow.

Leon paused in thought for a moment before he said, "It has lost its intelligence, regardless of whether the Demonic Energy was removed or not."

After he kicked off the Skysilver Beast King and returned to the forest, the Skysilver Beast King had sensed his departure and barked with gratitude.

"Right now, it is no different to an oversized pup, behaving on instinct to survive and can no longer speak the human tongue," Leon added.

Princess Thessalia, Faelyn, and Aria all gazed into the distance with surprise.

The most distinctive trait of the three-tailed silver wolf was the three iron tails it uses in battle.

However, at this moment, the Skysilver Beast King can only be seen attacking with its paws, fangs, and body rolls.

It did not rely on its proud tails and attacked primitively.

"The last Cataclysm helped the beasts evolve their intelligence. However, it seems this next one will rob them away." Princess Thessalia said with a solemn expression.

Leon nodded.

"If we all become infected with this type of overbearing Demonic Energy, we all degenerate into animals—"

Leon shortly paused.

Rumble…

Suddenly, the earth below could be subtly felt shaking mildly before everyone glanced towards the Skysilver Beast King in the distance.

"These tremors aren't caused by the Skysilver Beast King. It feels much more distant…" Aria concluded.

"Yeah…"

Princess Thessalia and Faelyn gazed deep into the forest behind them before Princess Thessalia's eyes flickered.

"Something big is happening back in the tribe!"

Swoosh~!

Leon immediately took flight, flying into the skies above the Great Forest before he used [Spirit Eyes] to gaze into the distant Elder Tree, where Elvengarde was located.

Sometime later, he dropped back to the ground.

"Did you find out what is happening, Leon?" Faelyn asked.

Leon shook his head and said, "It's too far to tell what is going on exactly. However, the tremors are caused by the Elder Tree."
