Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Protect the Beast King and Queen!


    "Brainwashing..." ze murmured. He had encountered a human who was brainwashed by a forest fairy before. He was just a young wolf then and thought the fairy was ying around with the human, so he didn''t interfere.


    The fairy would make the human dance maniacally, graze like a cow, and then walk back to his vige naked.


    The fairy was justughing all the time, but ze found that to be horrifying because he could see that the male human couldn''t do anything against it.


    If the fairy was a bit more malicious, it could''ve just told the male human to jump off of a cliff and die.


    However, what happened this time wasn''t the work of a fairy, because both fairies and beastmen were creatures under the protection of the Moon Goddess. The beastmen were naturally immune to any of the fairies'' tricks, and the beastmen never tried to harm the fairies as well.


    ''So, who brainwashed those beastmen?'' ze pondered. ''Could it be a human''s work? A witch? But what kind of witch has so much power to brainwash an entire tribe of beastmen?'' ze had a lot of questions in his mind, but he had no time to think, as another general soon entered the throne room and reported in panic;


    "B-ze, the people in the city-! They all have been brainwashed!"


    ze''s eyes widened. He got up from his chair and rushed to check the town square through the highest tower in the castle.


    There, he could see everyone—literally everyone, including children—standing still on their spot, waiting for an order. He looked up and saw a female human floating in the sky, wearing a cloak that seemed to hide her legs.


    She was wearing a hoodie that made it impossible for ze to identify her, but he had a gist of who that was, simply because he had seen her once during the banquet celebration, and the dark aura around her made it a bit too obvious that she was not a simple person. Though, he didn''t know if she was a dark witch, or was just a person with a dark heart.


    But now he knew.


    "Aria of Holy Achate..." ze murmured. That woman was the exact opposite of Queen Swan. Before she showed her true nature as the Saintess, ze could already feel her pure heart, but Aria''s heart was so dark that even ze was repulsed. ''Since Queen Swan is the Saintess, it is only natural for her sister to be the dark witch.''


    He gritted his teeth as he rushed to the beastmen archers at the top of the tower, "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? ATTACK THE WITCH! SHOOT HER!"


    "YES, SIR!"


    The beastmen archers quickly lined up at the top of the tower and aimed their arrows towards the witch.


    "SHOOT!"


    All the beastmen archers released their arrows, and Aria turned her head at them instantly. She opened her palm and deflected those arrows with an invisible barrier.


    She red at ze Silverfang and identified him easily because of his dark green hair that looked like moss. She also remembered the way that man looked at her when she came to the Beast''s castle during the banquet celebration.


    That wolf beastman was looking at her like she was a repulsive witch.


    ''I guess his instinct must''ve been very polished since I wasn''t that powerful back then,'' Aria thought. ''I have to eliminate such a threat. Who knows what he is capable of if I let him run free?''


    Aria chanted a spell, and a fire st shot out of her palm directly towards the tower.


    ze froze for a second before he yelled, "JUMP OUT!"


    BOOM!


    The beastmen archers quickly jumped out of the tower, and so did ze who just barely managed to avoid the explosive firesting out of the witch.


    Aria shot out a few more firests that explode upon impact, destroying the entire tower and killing a few beastmen soldiers, but little did she know that ze was still able to avoid death.


    Aria was


    annoyed that he couldn''t


    brainwash anyone inside that castle


    due to Swan''s lingering pushe


    from mental maniption. She


    scoffed, "Hmph, I don''t need to care for them anyway. I already have enough masses to kill Gale-well, of course, I won''t do that. I need him anyway."


    Thus, Aria decided to ignore the castle and pointed in the direction of the southwest, where the Sacred Selene Lake was located.


    "March!" Ariamanded, and everyone she had brainwashed followed her in that direction.


    ze pushed the rubble on his shoulder away and watched how the citizens of the Kingdom of Beastmen were marching together in the same direction like a bunch of mindless creatures.


    His face paled as he had guessed where the witch was heading. He rushed towards the soldiers, who were helping their fellow beastmen in the castle to get out of the rubble.


    "The witch is heading towards the Sacred Selene Lake! His Majesty is in danger ze yelled, and all the beastmen in the vicinity were alerted instantly. Thus, ze resumed the role of the mainmander "Soldiers, gather up! Servants, tend to the wounded and stay in the castle!"


    Everyone followed ze''s instructions as they were worried about their Beast King''s fate.


    The soldiers gathered quickly after wearing all of their battle gear. They lined up perfectly, ready for order.


    "Listen up, my fellow beastmen. This


    is the first time that our mighty


    Beast King will need our help. He is currentlymenting, heartbroken


    after our Queen left. We must


    protect him until he can get back on


    his feet!" ze Silverfang said. "His Majesty has protected us and our forefathers for so long. It is time for us to repay his kindness! Hopefully, our Queen Swan, the Legendary Saintess, will hear our plea and return to earth to protect us as well!"


    ze took a deep breath and chanted, "PROTECT THE BEAST KING AND


    BEAST QUEEN!"


    And the soldiers followed his chant.


    "PROTECT THE BEAST KING AND QUEEN!"


    "PROTECT THE BEAST KING AND QUEEN!"


    "PROTECT THE BEAST KING AND QUEEN!"
