On the five mountains where the Demoness Bandit Gang was located.
Watson was on the Golden Flash as he floated on the side of the central peak. He counted the magical beasts that he had fused.
Twenty thousand bronze-tier magical beasts were on the ground. There were five thousand silver-tier magical beasts as well as the two-winged ligers. All of them circled the sky.
Just like human warriors would develop combat aura wings when they reached silver-tier, magical beasts would also grow wings when they reached silver-tier. Those with wings might not necessarily be silver-tier magical beasts, but silver-tier magical beasts would definitely have wings.
“Young Master Watson, when are we going to attack?”
Allen led 20 Blackmoon Knights; they were on two-winged ligers, and they stayed beside Watson to protect him. Sven was next to him and a group of manor owners who were shouting loudly.
Some of those manor owners were on the magical beasts, while some of the beasts held others. They were suffering unspeakably.
Watson had led everyone to the hill where the Shabby Bandit gang was located. After they found Sven, they immediately returned to Sven’s lead. They searched the Misty Forest and carried out carpet bombing; they wiped out all the bandit gangs’ strongholds around the Misty Forest.
They had managed to wipe out at least a hundred bandit gangs. The remaining bandit gangs were mostly useless. After they heard that Blackmoon Castle would attack them, they had fled; they did not even bother to bring their treasures.
The magical beasts that surrounded the Demoness Bandit Gang’s stronghold were covered in blood. As they had devoured many bandits, their eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.
“Allen, we’re not in a hurry to attack. We’ll just wait here. The Demoness Bandits Gang won’t be able to resist coming out by themselves! There’s only one bandit gang left near Blackmoon Castle. It’ll be over after we clear them out.”
Watson chuckled and turned his head to look at some of the manor owners who were not far from him. “Everyone, I brought you here because I wanted you to help me find Lady Gluttony! We have already fought in the Misty Forest and have yet to see any traces of her. This means that she has already returned to her lair. None of you have captured Lady Gluttony, so I can’t give you any rewards.”
“Young Master Watson, you must be joking. It has been our honor to come along and witness Blackmoon Castle’s heroic deeds. How can we ask for a reward?”
It’s already our fortune to be able to come along and witness the heroic appearance of the Blackmoon Castle. How can we still ask for rewards?” Christine said; she was in gold-tier armor, and she was on the back of a two-winged liger. Her face was pale, as if she had just vomited.
“Christine is right. We can’t help it that we’re too weak. We’re lucky that Young Master Watson didn’t punish us.”
The other manor owner, Morgan, spoke up as well. After he said that, he vomited and almost fell off the liger.
He was not like Christine, who was protected by gold-tier armor. Along the way, the rapid flight of the silver-tier magical beast almost took his life.
He was a hot-tempered person, but after he saw Watson’s ruthless methods against the bandits, he no longer dared to voice his opinion.
Lady Gluttony had only injured a few Blackmoon Knights, but Watson had wanted to destroy all the bandit gangs, including the Demoness Bandit Group. If he were to anger Watson, would he not end up in a miserable state?
Morgan still remembered the scene a few hours ago when Watson had controlled tens of thousands of magical beasts to infiltrate the bandit gangs. There were only a few hundred pitiful bandits, and there were also some bronze-tier elites. Unfortunately, those silver-tier magical beasts crushed them like minced meat.
There were even worse things. Some bandits were asleep in caves. Before they knew what had happened, the mountain peak had been shattered by the magic from those tens of thousands of magical beasts and buried them forever.
“Thanks to Blackmoon Castle, all the bandit gangs nearby have been wiped out. We won’t have to be afraid when winter comes!”
“Yes, yes, it’s safe now. This is the biggest reward that Blackmoon Castle has given us!”
The other manor owners also chimed in; they were not fools. They knew why Watson had insisted on bringing them along when he wiped out the bandit gangs. It was not only to search for one person, but he also wanted to intimidate them.
Watson had succeeded.
They knew that the magical beasts were their teammates. Most of them wanted to pee their pants when they stood beside those beasts. They were also disappointed when they saw their guards trembling beside the beasts.
They looked at the Blackmoon Castle guards. All of them were silver-tier warriors who had remained calm in the face of danger. Then, they looked at their subordinates—they were useless even though they were iron and bronze-tier. They could not be compared to those Blackmoon Castle guards.
While they thought about that, their guards were also looking at them. They wondered why their bosses could not equip them with silver-tier equipment and magical beasts like Watson. If they had known that Blackmoon Castle was recruiting people two months ago, they would have gone too.
Boom!
While everyone was lost in their thoughts, a rumble echoed from the mountain top occupied by the Demoness Bandit Gang. Then, a woman in a gorgeous black robe and a rabbit mask flew toward them. She flapped her pitch-black combat aura wings on her back as she stood face to face with Watson. Then, she said, “Well, isn’t this Blackmoon Castle’s young master? We haven’t seen each other in two days, did you miss me? I miss you so much that I want to eat you up.”
“Lady Gluttony, you used cruel methods to slaughter people from many manors, including the Vermillion Manor. I’m here to seek justice for the dead! If you surrender, I will give you a fair trial. Otherwise, you can only repent in hell.”
Watson put both his hands next to his lips to amplify his voice.
“A fair trial? Are you kidding? Isn’t this a world where the strong prey on the weak? I’m strong, so I can plunder as I please. If you’re weak, then you can only die.”
Lady Gluttony had her hands behind her back. Her tone was calm, but her voice traveled far.
“It seems like I have nothing to say to you.”
Then, Watson waved his hand abruptly; he had given her a chance. The magical beasts around a few mountain peaks let out an angry roar and charged at Lady Gluttony.
The first to charge into the sky were dozens of silver-tier storm goshawk that carried a storm that spanned dozens of meters. Behind them were the two-winged ligers, followed by various magical beasts, like winged bears and monsters that looked like pterosaurs; all of them opened their mouths and shot beams of combat aura with different elements.
The colorful streams of light streaked across the sky and outlined a magnificent flame; it even covered the setting sun. Everyone could not open their eyes.
When faced with such a terrifying attack, even a fully armed gold-tier warrior would be torn into pieces the moment they stood in the combat aura storm, let alone Lady Gluttony.
As expected, the light devoured Lady Gluttony rather quickly; no parts of her remain.
“I feel like there’s no need for us to take action. Young Master Watson will be able to take care of them by himself,” Allen said with ease as he spread his hands outward.
He did not even know how to lose the fight.
Five thousand silver-tier magical beasts could drown the Lady Gluttony with a single spit, not to mention that those beasts could use magic that was comparable to battle techniques. What kind of effect would five thousand silver-tier attacks have when stacked? They might be able to pierce through the sky.
“Wait, something seems wrong.” Watson also thought that his opponent had died. Suddenly, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
“Well, it’s quite a strong attack. Unfortunately, it’s useless.”
The light dissipated. Lady Gluttony still hovered in the sky; she was unharmed. The mask on her face suddenly opened its mouth; it revealed teeth that were stuck to her flesh. It looked very frightening.
The five mountains beneath her shook, and the rocks fell off to reveal five identical sculptures that emitted a dark light. The light connected and condensed into a female phantom that was hundreds of meters tall in midair, and it protected her within it.
