Chapter 373: [ My Respect ]

“Master!!?”

“Husband!!?”

“Master!!?”

Voices suddenly rang out. Baishe and the others frantically rushed towards Allen and after seeing his current condition, their faces instantly paled. Even Asmodeus accelerated in desperation.

When they were meters away from them, each of them shot the Mummy Lord with different magic and abilities but for the Mummy Lord, it was nothing.

Without acre, the Mummy Lord waved his flail and their attacks along with them were sent flying away.

“So he was really not the Norse Thunder God?” The Gods completely ignored Baishe and the others who endured the attack and once again rushed to the Mummy Lord.

“But that form a while ago, that is without a doubt, the Thunder God… how is that possible?”

As Wind blade, Lightning storm, Fireball, Wind Slash, Shadow whip, and all kinds of attacks approached the Mummy Lord that was currently standing beside Allen, a black shadow round shield –like thing appeared in front of Allen and the Mummy Lord.

All the magic attacks smashed into the black shield and bounced off.

Laura suddenly changed her direction and dove towards Mireya and Baishe, tackling them away.

Woosh. A black wind blade in the form of a crescent arc passed on their former positions, and the tip of the arc blade cut Laura’s shoulder a bit.

“Laura!!”

“I’m okay!” Laura nodded with a faint smile. Since it was just a shallow wound, the cut slowly disappeared.

Seeing Laura's wound, Allen's eyes turned fiercer. "You bastard Mummy Lord, let me go and I'll kill you, you fuck*ng bastard!! How dare you hurt my women, I'm going to tear you apart you hear me!! I said let me go!! You PERVERT!!!" Allen raged and struggled as if he was a madman.

"You girls! Stop attacking now, I'll handle this! You can't defeat this bastard!! So --" Allen, couldn't free from the Mummy Lord's restriction turned his attention towards the others, ordering them to run away.

However, not one listened to him much less obeyed him.

Even Asmodeus pretended to ignore Allen as she spread her hands and summoned a black sphere.

However, before she could finish her spell, a column of sand appeared behind her and slapped her in the air. Fortunately, when she was about to crash into the ground, Dakna appeared behind her and caught her.

It was then Qin’s turn who was already extremely angry. Thunderous sounds echoed through the sky as dark clouds gathered together.

Bang! Bang!

The dark sky rained down thunderbolt one after another. Even the Gods started avoiding the thunderbolt that had rained down upon them.

Although this attack wouldn’t do anything to them but being hit by it would certainly cause them a leg or two if they became careless.

“A mythical beast?”

“Now this is interesting… never thought a mythical beast that can only be found in the east would be here,”

“More like seeing that lineup, aren’t those legendary and mythical beasts? Dragons, a Qilin, a Demon, a Griffon, a Lycanthrope, a descendant of a Phoenix, a Naga, and there were even some strange beasts I haven’t seen yet…”

“What an incredible lineup… just who is this youth to have such servants…?”

Finally turning their attention towards Baishe and the others who were desperately attacking the Mummy Lord and trying to save the Allen, the Gods showed astonishment and admiration on their expressions. They were still analyzing the situation while watching the events developed.

The Mummy Lord patiently repelled the other’s attacks and his attention greatly shifted from Allen.

Just then, when Allen was yelling and screaming desperately towards the others, feeling pained when they were hurt and wounded, something magical occurred.

Dark emotions were starting to swell up inside of him and was about to explode. Even Allen's horn started to show signs of growing when,

-- Under the Gods disbelieving eyes, a light suddenly came out from Allen’s side and this light slowly materializes, turning into a human silhouette.

When this light touched the shadow tentacles, these dark obscene like things slowly faded and disintegrates.

The Mummy Lord noticed what was happening but before it could do something, a powerful invisible force knocked him away.

When the light faded, a beautiful woman with an innocent appearance and gentle expression appeared beside Allen, slowly taking off the black tentacles, as if she was taking away some dirty clothes.

“Haa, what are you doing really? Do you want to stay there without doing anything and die…?” The woman spoke in a complaint but her tone was extremely gentle and soft. She was wearing a white one-piece dress, greatly emphasizing the purity and innocence coming from her.

“Well, although I indeed am at fault for being careless, I can only say that I am not fond of being tied up.” Allen smiled mischievously, his eyes flashing with relief. “I’m more likely to be the one doing it,”

The beautiful woman furrowed her brows in displeasure. She sighed, “Don’t think I came out because I wanted to help you. The others just looked like desperate so I softened my heart and lend my hand,”

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

“I know,” Allen smiled faintly. The woman in front of him and the one who had helped him was none other than, the forest nymph; Maria Makiling.

Among his tamed beasts, Maria Makiling was actually a bit difficult to impress. Although she was normally and usually gentle, but towards Allen, she was a bit, on the cold side.

She always complains about him… though she wouldn’t scold him or treat him that badly, probably due to her natural character. She still avoided him as much as possible.

It was even to the point that, if ever Allen wanted to see her, he would forcefully summon her in which, Allen feared, it would just annoy her.

Thus, Allen doesn’t have a choice but to endure it. Among his tamed beasts, she was the only one Allen wouldn’t really order, summon, or anything --like control.

In affection rating, although it was still above 50 percent, it didn’t pass 60 and still stayed in the 50 area.

She probably wanted to be set free, but Allen was reluctant to do it. He was sometimes selfish after all.

-- Although he could, he didn’t set her free.

Well, according to the others, she seemed to have taken a liking to the peaceful and beautiful mountains inside the Grimoire, so she would probably not mind staying with him.

From what the tamed beasts had recorded, one of the tallest and beautiful mountains in the Grimoire world had been taken by her.

The Mummy Lord returned along with the shadow tentacles, trying to capture Allen again but Maria Makiling summoned numerous lights, repelling the shadow tentacles away.

She then opened her palm and a small ball of light appeared on her hand.

“Take this,” She said. But before Allen could respond, the ball of light floated and entered his body. It seems like she really didn't any permission.

Well, it's fine since Allen was certain she would never cause him harm even if she wanted it. Not because of her status as his tamed beast but due to her natural disposition that seemed extremely reluctant to hurt even a small weak ant.

Allen’s entire body lit up and the wounds on his chest that was slowly healing instantly close up.

In an instant, Allen felt a new kind of power surging through him. Due to Allen’s mana almost being depleted, the [ Flawless Restoration ] ability’s effect weakened considerably. However, this time, what Maria Makiling gave him seemed to have energized his [ Flawless Restoration ] ability, causing it work as if injected with steroids!

In just a minute, Allen felt his magic power rose as if sitting a rocket. Although it was still a bit far from complete recovery, he now felt better compared from before. There was even a bonus calming effect on his mind.

“Thank you,”

Maria Makiling’s lips curled slightly showing a faint smile. “It’s nothing,”

That smile breaks the rules…

Allen lamented as he felt being struck by a large cupid arrow. Damn it! If not for his gentlemanly patients and character he might have attacked Maria Makiling already!

What a gentle woman… Allen felt sweet. Though he knows that Maria Makiling didn’t do this because she has feelings for him but still… it wouldn’t be bad to think as such. It wouldn’t hurt… right?

“Master!!” Asmodeus finally arrived at Allen’s side. Those who have no wings and can’t fly such as Mireya and Lama used Allen’s black feathers that were always been with them, causing for them to grow a pair of black angelic wings.

As for the beasts such as the Lightning Mouse, Aurora, Lightning Sigbin, Titan Knight, the Wind Wolves and the others had already returned inside the Grimoire due to exhaustion from the intense battle just now.

According to the Grimoire, they should be closer to leveling up again.

The only ones who had stayed were, Qin, Baishe, Dakna, Fiona, Mireya, Grafilia, Lama, Laura, Lan, Grim, Xinghong, and Asmodeus. They immediately encircled Allen. Very protectively like a tigress protecting their cub.

Dakna was the most intense as she transformed into a gigantic dragon, putting Allen and the others within her wings.

Whether it was the Gods or the Mummy Lord, Dakna, as well as the others, glared at them.

They saw them as enemies of Allen.

Enemies need to be purged!!

Those who tried hurting Allen would be their most hated enemy!!

RRROOOAAAARRRR!!! Dakna roared.

The Mummy Lord didn’t continue attacking and instead stood there, staring at them, no at Allen. The situation suddenly got weird.

"... ..."

Allen’s side, the Gods, as well as the Mummy Lord, forming a triangle in position.

No one was attacking and just silently stared at each other. The Mummy Lord probably thought as well that if he still fights against Allen, the Gods will surely use this kind of opportunity, just like the saying, ‘A mantis stalking a cicada is unaware of an oriole behind.’

Thus, a strange showdown occurred.

Everyone was waiting as to who will strike first.

Amidst the invisible tension, Allen suddenly called out the Grimoire.

“Master?!”

“Baishe, and all of you return inside. I will take care of this,” Allen said softly. A faint smile could be seen on his face. Seeing those wounds on their bodies gave him heartaches.

“But master, this is dangerous!”

Allen shook his head. “I can manage.” Allen doesn’t want to let the girls join the battle.

Even Asmodeus would find it difficult to contend against these monsters. Although they were already strong, Allen can’t help but felt uneasiness towards them fighting against Mid rank Gods and the Mummy Lord.

These monsters had already bypassed the word known as 'Common Sense'

There is a high chance of possibility for them to lose their life if they enter this battle.

And that is something Allen would never allow to happen!!

However, Baishe, the others, especially, Dakna, Lama, Mireya, and Qin refused the order. Obviously, they realized Allen’s worries but even if they lose their lives, they wouldn’t let Allen fight alone!

What if these Mid Gods turned out to be enemies? Allen’s life would certainly be in danger!

As a servant, they would never let anything bad happen to him even if they die.

“Look, this is my fight you know.” Allen patiently explained.

“I would amount to nothing in the future if I won’t finish what I had started. Besides,” Allen turned towards the Mummy Lord which the latter did the same. Both of them locked gazes. “I have a bone to pick with this guy. I will be the one to take him down,”

Recalling the scene from a while ago, almost killing Laura and the others, Allen's rage skyrocketed. If not for his amazing self-control, he would have rushed there and torn that bastard apart, then throw them across the world, unable to detect what they originally looked like!!

Allen was extremely angry, so angry he wanted to devour the Mummy lord alive!!

“… …”

Allen’s voice was serious. Baishe and the others felt that. Thus, they could only sigh bitterly.

Their master was just too hot-headed when it comes to his own battle. Though, they certainly overlook the reason why Allen wanted to kill the Mummy Lord so badly.

They only know that when he started something, he will surely finish them all until the end. They could only reluctantly return inside the Divine Grimoire.

In any case, they can monitor everything inside the Grimoire through Allen’s eyes. If something really bad happens, they can immediately rush there and appear.

As for Asmodeus, even though she wasn’t a tamed beast, with Rebellion’s help, Asmodeus was classified as a temporary beast and was admitted inside the Grimoire. Allen can’t let Asmodeus stay outside with this Gods.

Demons are now enemies of the Gods… well, as for him, he could be said to be a Hybrid between Gods and Demons. And now with a Dragon and an Angel, he had become a somewhat special case.

“A Demon as a tamed beast, that was quite brave of you,” As expected, the Gods attention went towards Asmodeus.

“Demons right now are an unstable existence.”

“Cut the sh*t off,” Allen glared. If they tried insulting Asmodeus, he would really become angry. Although, right now, due to his anger towards Mummy Lord, Allen's emotions were somewhat easily to riled up.

“What she is, what I did, all of them has nothing to do with you. And this fight, this is only between him and me. Isn’t that right, Mummy Lord,” Allen glared, his killing intent burst out into the surrounding.

A stench of blood could be smell within the area.

“Arrogant! We had been polite a while ago since we thought you were the Norse God but now, a youngster dared to talk to us like this, you have no respect!”

“Respect or whatnot, I don’t know you so why would I? My respect is not cheap, it is earned and gained!”
