"Oh my god! They are the members of the beast race!"
Facing more than a dozen members of the beast race, the couple turned deathly pale, despair creeping up on their faces.
The two of them stepped back, hiding their daughter behind them. The couple was immensely nervous but they were ready to fight until their last breath.
"It looks like we will die here today," the woman said.
Her eyes expressed how she had already resigned to fate, that she would die today
"Don't be afraid. It is just death. Even if we die, our family will still be together,"
the man comforted her.
"Gentlemen, I am so sorry. I misunderstood you just now.
Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do.
The real members of the beast race are here.
And there is no way to escape. They have us completely surrounded."
The man was sincerely apologetic as he looked at Austin, Fletcher and Shepard.
At this point, he could tell that the three strangers were not members of the beast race.
"Wait! Two of them are cultivators?
I thought they were all mortals!
Ha-ha! Guess what! We are indeed very lucky today. This wonderful lady is at the Divine Realm. Good. Very, very good!
Guys, it's really an awesome day.
And wow! That gorgeous woman at the Divine Realm is really hot!
She is much better than those weak and mortal women we saw earlier."
The dozen members of the beast race were overjoyed to find that the couple was at the Divine Realm.
They failed to see the strengths of Austin, Shepard, and Fetcher for two reasons.
First, all three were divine gods while they were merely at the Divine Realm.
And second, the three had actually concealed their auras deliberately.
"Let's kill the husband and capture his wife, to keep for ourselves. We can also bring that little girl along!"
one of the members of the beast race said excitedly to his comrades.
With that, the dozen members of the beast race released an overwhelming amount of demonic energy, aimed at the couple and ready to take pulverize them.
The couple felt the demonic power that was about to take their lives. Despair and resignation was written all over their faces.
'We are outnumbered.
There is no chance of defeating them!' the couple thought.
"How about we just take our own lives together?
It's better than be humiliated by them," the woman said.
Her pretty face couldn't hide the anger and frustration that she was feeling.
The man looke
y World.
As you know, our family is one of the most powerful forces in the Galaxy World and we had caught their attention.
The army of the Beast City surrounded our headquarters, intending to destroy us.
Our chief knew that we didn't stand a chance against their army.
In order to save us from being killed, he divided us into several groups. We split up and tried to escape from the headquarters.
I and my people fought a way out and finally shook them off. Unfortunately, most of my people died while we were on the run.
Finally, we came to this village and have been hiding here ever since,"
Ennis narrated the recent events within their family.
"Where are the other members, then?"
Shepard asked anxiously.
"At that time, we were left with no choice but to disperse and lost contact with each other.
But I heard that our chief fought the army of the beast race head-on, together with a large number of the strong members in our family. That was to distract them so that the weaker members could escape safely.
Your father was one of those fighters,"
Ennis replied.
"And? So what happened?! My father was engaged in a head-on fight?"
Hearing that, Shepard couldn't help but feel restless with how the story was developing.
"I have to find my father right now!"
Shepard got up and was ready to leave the hideout.
"Shepard, don't be stupid. By yourself, you are no match for the army of the Beast City!"
Ennis said immediately as he was startled by Shepard's sudden decision.
"Don't worry, Shepard. I'll go with you and find your father."
Austin also stood up in support of Shepard.
