<h4>Chapter 401: Family Jewel</h4>


    "Preparation time is over. This battle will only be dered over if the opposing party has fallen or is unconscious. There is no surrender or retreat. One additional thing for the winning side is that they have the right to make a wish to be granted. Terms and conditions apply." Elysia announced as thirty seconds had passed.


    "There''s no need to take any longer than this. The battle of revenge between the representatives of the Pyrogressive Lion n and the true Winged Tiger n begins!" Elysia raised her hand and snapped her fingers. She made a big firework in the sky to signal the start of the battle.


    "Huh, what? I don''t know this, but it''s better. We can get a wish that will be granted as a bonus for winning this ridiculous battle." Ernest was a little surprised to hear the prize for the winner. He was even more excited to win this battle.


    This was no longer a battle to improve the reputation of his n and cripple these winged tigers. It had also be an arena to win prizes. A wish that the divine would realize, something extraordinary had to be carefully thought out to achieve the most significant profit.


    Ernest already thought that the winner was already in his hands. Just as he was imagining his wishing true, a brown tortoise came before him casually.


    "Rawr!" Gio gave his warning once.


    Unfortunately, Ernest wascking focus and didn''t hear the beast''snguage clearly. He just came out of his daydream to nce down.


    "Hey, are you the one who will be my opponent? Are you sure that you can withstand my strength with your tiny body? Just so you know, I won''t hesitate and attack your tiger friends once I have crippled you." Ernest underestimated his opponent andughed as if he had already won.


    He only thought to finish all this nonsense as soon as possible and im the prize. Thus, he did not y anymore and immediately prepared himself to cast his magic.


    "Don''t waste any more time. Attack them and paralyze them as soon as possible. Follow the n." After Ernest said that, he used his magic. His body was shrouded in fiery red mes, and his body size had doubled in size from before.


    Hearing themand from their team leader, the other three fire lions also immediately got ready. They were also eyeing who they would make as their opponent. Then, the three fire lions left their team leader ording to the n.


    Meanwhile, Gio just stared at the fiery fire lion with a passive gaze. He didn''t even feel hot despite being that close.


    Yet, he couldn''t look pathetic with his small size like this in this battle. For that reason, he also transformed his body to return to his original form.


    "To the glory of my divine master!" Gio roared as his body was shrouded in a myriad of earth elements. His body size grew to hundreds of timesrger in just a matter of seconds.


    That drastic change made everyone, except for Elysia''s small group, gape in shock. Ernest was the most surprised of all. Previously, he looked down at his opponent, but now it was the opposite.


    "Perish, presumptuous little creature." Gio lifted his legs and dropped them down.


    *Bam!*


    The ground shook instantly and caused an earthquake. Unfortunately, Gio failed to stomp his opponent to death.


    "Hey, what kind of beast are you!? Do you want to stomp me to death with that? Also, why are you using that outdated beastnguage?" Ernest used his fire wings to help him get away from his opponent as quickly as possible. None of this was in the n!


    "Instead ofing closer to fight me, you are running away from me? You are a disappointing Beast Emperor." Gio scoffed in disappointment, then he jumped into the ground like a dolphin dive. The earth element technique was a bit time-consuming, but nothing stood in his way.


    "That''s great, Gio. Keep it up as nned!" Vanessa called out for a reminder before Gio fully dived into the ground.


    "Rarrr!" Gio responded just before he disappeared from the surface.


    "What, what is it? Who are we fighting? Where did that colossal creature go? Hey, isn''t this cheating? The one we''re fighting is a legendary beast or maybe an ancient beast! I''ve never seen a tortoise that big!" Leigh eximed as if asking for justice for this battle.


    "What are youining about, boy? Your opponent is me and you dare to distract yourself from our battle?" Vanessa swung her ws that were d in wind des.


    *Bang* *Swiish*


    "Hey! What exactly are you after!? Have you no shame or dignity!?" Leigh dodged and continued to avoid the attacks. He warded off the iing attacks several times, but the white tiger in front of him continued to chase and attack.


    This white tiger seemed to be aiming for something in his lower back. Maybe his tail?


    But that was what worried him the most because he had two tails! One was the real thing, and the other one was his family jewel!


    "Whoops, do you want to cut off my family jewel along with my tail!? I''m not married yet, and-" Leigh started to focus on securing his family jewel more than anything else. Unfortunately, he was unable to continue hisints as attacks after attacks kepting at him.


    "What''s your problem!? Please fight with me for real!" Leigh cried out in pain while shielding his lower back. He got a slight cut on his leg.


    "Heh, your n has ughtered many core members of the Winged Tiger n. My n''s future is doomed to perish sooner orter because of you fire lions. Therefore, why don''t I kindly pay you back by killing your future, hehe..." Vanessa chuckled sinisterly with a pretty scary look.


    "You''re crazy! I will attack in earnest. Don''t me me if you die because of your own actions!" Leigh counterattacked with a burst of fire, but Vanessa''s wind and lightning had the upper hand.


    "Young Master Leigh! Grr, your little white tiger really has no decency and shame."


    "Let''s take down these two brown tigers and help immediately our young master. Time is precious now. Not to mention, our lord seems to be having a hard time fighting that colossal monster. Roar!"


    The two fire lions roared to see their lord and young master were in a predicament at once.


    "Where are you looking, loser? Your opponent is right in front of you." Theo appeared right beside his opponent and swung his ws down.


    *Swoosh*


    The three-meter-long ground was torn apart by the sharpness of his ws d in magic.


    Then, Le continued her attack on the other fire lion. It was a double battle, but her husband and her goal were to buy some time so Gio and Vanessa could take care of things smoothly.


    Meanwhile, Ernest was really having a hard time because his opponent only appeared asionally. Still, it was only a tiny part of the colossal monster''s back.


    Earth elemental attacks kepting at him, and he struggled just to defend himself and counterattack even though it was to no avail.


    *Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*


    The earth spikes and rock chunks came at Ernest without any prior notice. He can only destroy all earth element attacks thate at him with his crimson mes.


    "Come out you coward! You wanted to fight me but you hid and attacked me from the ground!? You humiliated yourself as a Beast Emperor." Ernest shouted loudly in anger.


    He was highly annoyed and began to think about burning the entire ground beneath him to roast his opponent alive.


    Outside the dome barrier, Regulus was sweating a little from the sight of the battle. Especially those winged tigers shameless n, not to mention that gigantic beast.


    "Hey, isn''t it a little unfair that you brought along a beast from the ancient era? That gigantic beast is Gioragh, right? He can''t lose at this rate because he''s literally immortal on the ground!" Regulus expressed his dissatisfaction toward the Goddesses beside him.


    "Here''s your tea." Rhea put a cup of tea for Elysia and Nell. Then, she put a cup of tea on the table for herself.


    Elysia didn''t give a quick response. She just thanked Rhea then took a sip of the hot tea while watching Vanessa''s fight.


    After that, she turned to Regulus as if she was neither guilty nor involved. "Then? Is that a problem? When the battle hadn''t started yet, you remained silent even though you knew that. So, everyone, including you, has agreed to this."


    "You! Since when did I know that the little brown tortoise was actually Gioragh? Who would have thought that the ancient gigantic beast took the form of a tiny tortoise?" Regulus widened his eyes upon realization. All of this had been nned, and that was for sure.


    "Forget it. If my distant descendants lose, then they lose. This all alsoes to them in return for their past actions. No killing, that''s the rule. Just remember, my wives and I will not forgive you if there is a loss of life from my descendants." Regulus clicked his tongue and seemed to relent.


    His n to make his distant descendants win and then take somepensation from these Goddesses seemed unrealizable.


    Elysia just ignored that because Vanessa seemed to have a n. She nced at the two little tigers nearby. These tigers looked so excited to watch this fight. It seems Zach was the mastermind of that heinous n.


    ''Wow, since when did our little Vann be so savage? She wants to cut that poor tiger other tail, err family jewel? Fufu...'' Elena covered her mouth while chuckling to see Vanessa''s near-sessful attempt.
