Chapter 993: Strength Of The Commander
The sloth demons in the air soon began to disperse one by one, lowering themselves to hover slightly above the platform. The silhouette of an awe-inspiring beast, tens of meters tall, with four legs covered in red fur and several ashen-pink bony structures protruding from its body, appeared. It glided through the air, surrounded by an oppressive, dense energy.
Korrin was stunned, not just by the size of the beast but also by its immense pressure.
Is this a Legendary Beast? No! It almost seems Mythical in nature!
Although magical beasts could utilize different ranks of energy, their unique bloodlines and inherited methods placed them in their own category. They were ranked as Ordinary, Extraordinary, Lesser, Sacred, Rare, Revered, Legendary, Mythical, Immortal, and Divine.
In truth, because of the oppressive energy emanating from the beast, which far surpassed Korrin's own, he would have classified it as an Immortal beast if he hadn't known how scarce those magical beasts were.
As Korrin scrutinized the enormous creature, it did the same to him. He soon noticed a few individuals standing on its back. One of them, a winged sloth demon, surged forward, prompting Korrin to tighten his grip on his Gearweaver sword.
"Who are you?! How dare you attack the Sleeping Fox Runaway City?! Explain yourself immediately!" Commander Vargoth's voice boomed across the atmosphere as he hovered before Korrin, staring at him intently, his broad wings spread wide.
"I am Korrin, Captain of the 2nd Unit Vanguard Team of the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City. I have been sent by the Supreme Leader to retrieve the Divine Artefact and Patriarch Rylan peacefully," Korrin responded, scrutinizing the sloth demon who had just descended from the beast, sensing the strength emanating from him.
After the beast's sudden emergence, he realized things had become much more dire than he had imagined. However, he knew he couldn't retract his previous statements, so he chose his words carefully.
"Such insolence!" Commander Vargoth's anger boiled upon hearing Korrin's words. With Paradise having granted them authority to subdue and capture the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City, he no longer hesitated and charged towards Korrin.
Korrin's eyes narrowed to slits as he watched Commander Vargoth swiftly closing in on him. He tried to dodge, but it was too late. In the blink of an eye, Commander Vargoth stood before him, ready to deliver a powerful strike to his abdomen.
Gritting his teeth angrily, Korrin swiftly raised his Gearweaver sword to block Commander Vargoth's strike.
BANGG!!
A powerful gust of wind radiated outward from the impact, launching Korrin backwards, his hands growing numb.
Before Korrin could steady himself, Commander Vargoth closed in from behind and gripped his wings tightly.
"CAPTAIN!" Another scream erupted from one of the Arakocra's gods' chosens chained below. Before they could react, several powerful kicks slammed down on them once more, sending them crashing back to the ground with even more severe injuries.
"STOP! I AM SENT BY THE SUPREME LEADER OF THE TREKKING FLAMINGO RUNAWAY CITY! IF YOU DO ANYTHING TO ME, YOU'LL BE DECLARING WAR AGAINST US!" Korrin shouted, his voice thundered through the air, even as he felt Commander Vargoth's firm grip on his broad wings. Yet, his tone no longer carried the same arrogance as before; instead, it was laced with fear and anxiety.
As a winged race, his wings were his pride and the source of his strength as an Arakocra. If they were torn or destroyed, it would not only be shameful but also cripple him entirely.
"The Sleeping Fox Runaway City and the Wanderlust Travelling Tortoise Runaway City have been given the chance by Paradise to prove themselves by subduing and capturing the Trekking Flamingo Runaway City!" Commander Vargoth responded loudly, his voice echoing across the surroundings and reaching the ears of everyone present.
