Under the Flower Fairy’s expectant gaze, Xu Yuan finally made his move. His dragon wings flapped, and Xu Yuan disappeared.

Unlike before, he did not reappear under the shade of a tree. Instead, he flew so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to catch him.

The air vibrated.

Riiiip!

The Man-Eating Ant Emperor let out a blood-curdling screech. One of its pincers had been torn apart by Xu Yuan’s sharp claw!

“What happened?”

“D*mn it! These trees are blocking our vision!”

Su Wan and Shi Linglong, who were protected by The Sea of Trees summoned by the flower fairy, heard the Man-Eating Ant Emperor’s pained scream. They realized that the situation had changed.

However, when the two tried to look in the direction of the Man-Eating Ant Emperor to see what was going on, The Sea of Trees that protected them also blocked their vision.

“Xu Yuan! Ofunai! Are you okay?” asked Su Wan.

There was no response.

One of the two heroes was fighting the Man-Eating Ant Emperor, while the other was watching the battle with wide eyes.

“What terrifying speed!” The Flower Fairy’s voice trembled.

To this day, she didn’t understand Xu Yuan’s true identity, but she had guessed at the extent of power Xu Yuan possessed. However, when she saw him fight, she was speechless.

So far, Xu Yuan had never shown any powerful ability in front of the Flower Fairy. Xu Yuan had used only physical attacks to defeat the Wild Boar King before.

‘Could he be the Black Dragon of the Dragon Clan?’ The Flower Fairy wondered.

The Black Dragon’s body was the strongest among the Dragon Clan’s many categories, and its physical strength was unparalleled!

Xu Yuan had dismantled the Man-Eating Ant Emperor’s pincers in the blink of an eye.

“No! That’s impossible!”

The Man-Eating Ant Emperor couldn’t believe it could be crushed so easily!

A Xu Yuan pulled up a large tree, and the power of darkness sharpened the tree’s top. The tip was pushed toward the creature. The sharp end penetrated the Man-Eating Ant Emperor through the mouth and came out of its brain. The Man-Eating Ant Emperor’s eyes were wide in shock. It died in pain and regret.

The Man-Eating Ant Emperor had noticed that Xu Yuan was not so simple and had always regarded him as a formidable foe. However, it had never thought that the difference in strength between the two of them would be so vast.

Xu Yuan had been playing around in the beginning. In a real fight, the creature didn’t even have a chance to strike a blow.

The Flower Fairy was happy. She flapped her butterfly wings and flew into the air, cheering for Xu Yuan.

“Lord Luphus—”

The Flower Fairy wanted to praise him, but Xu Yuan appeared near her very suddenly. He flicked his claw, and the Flower Fairy was sent flying.

The Flower Fairy landed on the body of the Man-Eating Ant Emperor. She rubbed her head in dizziness.

She was just about to ask Xu Yuan why he had pushed her, when two voices rang out in surprise.

“Ofunai?!”

“That’s great, Ofunai! You killed the Man-Eating Ant Emperor!”

Shi Linglong was so excited that she jumped on the spot in joy, and her two long ponytails bounced along with her.

Su Wan was equally happy. However, compared to Shi Linglong, she was much calmer.

“Xu Yuan, you guys were really good!” Su Wan praised Xu Yuan.

Su Wan and Shi Linglong received a notification.

[Congratulations Lord Su Wan and Lord Shi Linglong for defeating the Boss Man-Eating Ant Emperor!]

After The Sea of Trees disappeared, the first thing they saw was the Flower Fairy on the head of the Man-Eating Ant Emperor. They assumed that the Flower Fairy had killed the enemy. Since Su Wan and her hero had also participated, they received the prompts as well.

When the Flower Fairy heard their praises, she was dumbfounded. ‘I can’t claim credit for this!’

The Flower Fairy was about to explain everything when Xu Yuan flew to Su Wan’s side. He made a “hush” gesture at her, followed by a slitting-throat gesture. It was clear he wanted the Flower fairy to keep quiet about this.

The Flower Fairy forced out a cordial smile and claimed the credit with uneasiness. She emphasized that it was thanks to Xu Yuan for diverting the Man-Eating Ant Emperor’s attention, giving her an opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

Su Wan and Shi Linglong praised them both but failed to read the hidden meaning in the Flower Fairy’s words.

They understood that Xu Yuan had helped but they still believed that the actual hero here was the Flower Fairy.

“Wanwan, thank you so much for this! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to hold on. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to obtain such rich materials for killing the Man-Eating Ant Emperor!”

Shi Linglong was in high spirits. She had been depressed a while ago because she was convinced that she had some kind of rotten luck that always attracted trouble.

Just as Shi Linglong was about to give a brilliant speech to thank them, a white crystal emerged from the head of the dead Man-Eating Ant Emperor.

The crystal floated in the air, emitting a faint light. Under that light, an illusionary image appeared.

It was a creature that looked like a mix between a tiger and a lion. It had purple wings on its back, a single horn on its head, and a pitch-black tail that was as sharp as the tail of a demon.

“An Amethyst Liger?!” shouted Su Wan. She was terrified.

The Amethyst Liger was a very special creature according to the research conducted by the many Overlords on the Blue Planet. It was a fusion between a tiger and a lion. It had characteristics of both a tiger and a lion. It also had purple wings on its back.

‘It is said that two extremely powerful leaders of the Amethyst Beast Clan once received special care from the end of darkness. The two of them combined to become the Amethyst Lion Tiger. The formidable Amethyst Liger. An adult Amethyst Liger is as terrifying as a Dragon!’ Su Wan recalled.

The image in front of them was blurry like a bad signal. But Su Wan still recognized the legendary creature as the Amethyst Liger.

The image of the Amethyst Liger looked at Su Wan and then at the Flower Fairy.

It spoke slowly in the human language. “Lord from another world, how dare you kill a member of the Dark Screen? The organization will not let you off the hook.”

Amethyst Liger’s voice frightened Shi Linglong.

‘Dark Screen? The most powerful organization in the Overlord Plane?’

When a Lord descended from another world, it was inevitable that they would have conflicts of interest with the native creatures of the Overlord Plane. Since ancient times, there had been countless creatures which resisted the Lords.

The Dark Screen was the most powerful organization among all the organizations that opposed the Overlords! The Dark Screen had accomplished a great feat once before. The Black Vatican from their organization once assassinated a legendary Overlord on the Blue Planet.

Shi Linglong recalled the history from her textbooks. She recounted it to her friend.
