"With this quest, it seems I have to make so adjustnts to my plans." Kent didn’t expect to receive a quest for sothing he planned on doing in the first place.
Of course, he wasn’t aiming to ta all seven Monarchs. In fact, he only planned to ta the various rulers of the inner regions. However, now he knew his plans had to change.
Naturally, this was a good change.
"However, this is also bad." Kent sat down as his body worked on forming more fla veins.
"If what Lady Kami said is true, then the Monarchs here are not going to easily bend the knee and accept becoming my subordinates. I am also sure they wouldn’t take kindly to threatening them, either.
This ans things had to change by becoming sothing akin to a monarch myself"
The re fact that he could use their blood to ta them was also good. However, seeing that they must first trust him before he could use them made him wonder if that was a good or a bad thing.
If he were to ta a Monarch, using him or her to intimidate and ta the other ones would be next to impossible.
After all, there must be so form of trust between them before he could command them. And commanding a monarch he tad through intimidation is sothing impossible.
"I guess hating slavery has a price I must pay," Kent laughed.
Beast tars aren’t required to have so form of trust between them and their beasts before they can command them.
In fact, the mont they ford the contract between them and their beasts, the beasts had no say in whatever they were commanded to do.
Kent could easily do that.
However, because he hated slavery, he didn’t want to use that thod. However, now that he had been awarded a good way, the downsides were also staring him in the face.
"Being a good person is such a bad thing," Kent sighed and then teleported, appearing beside Commander Agnes.
"Change of plans," Kent said, "I will be hunting down the ruler of this region and make him tell what the heck they want from ."
"But you didn’t know it was you they were looking for," Commander Agnes said, but Kent shook his head.
"It’s . I have already read the mories of the beast I tad. They are looking for sothing or perhaps soone. The order ca down from the Monarch, so I believe the only thing they are after is my soul fla."
"But why that?" Although Kent chose not to tell her the main reason, she asked again.
"I will tell you after everything is done. That said, you have to stay here for now. Once I get my answer, I will co back for you. And don’t worry, I will really co back for you."
"Okay."
Surprisingly, Commander Agnes agreed without dragging her feet. This caught Kent off guard, but he played it off as if it were no big deal.
’Looks like she has accepted my reality.’
Kent walked toward her and pressed his index finger against her forehead. When he removed it, a crossbone tattoo appeared.
"I have given you temporary control over these ten soul spirits. In case you need help, order them to explode. Then, when you are free from danger but can’t stay here for long, you can wait for back on the moon.
Of course, with the Blood Oath, I will not betray you, so just trust . You can keep one of the soul spirits alive just to know I am still alive."
This ti, Commander Agnes stood there for a few seconds before nodding.
After a few more seconds, tying up all loose ends, Kent left.
Commander Agnes entered the cave and restricted her energy to allow her to remain almost invisible to the beasts.
After Kent left, he started teleporting deeper into the inner region. The deeper he went, the more terrifying the beasts got.
Eventually, Kent chose to make his presence known. After all, he planned to gather Fla Cores and Essence Blood for his Fla Core Formation and Primal Body Tempering Art.
The mont he started killing, the ruler of the domain he was in would notice and co to him.
His first targets were a group of Ashcoil Pythons, five of them, each about 170 ters long.
The mont they saw Kent, all five of them attacked, spraying fire from their mouths. Kent waved his hand, and his fla resistance manifested into a shield around him.
The attacks landed on the shield, which held firm.
However, that wasn’t all.
The mont the fire attacks ended, one of the Ashcoil Pythons struck with its long tail, aiming for Kent’s neck.
Swing
The tail coming at Kent was separated from the main body, causing the Ashcoil Python to let out a painful roar.
However, Kent rely stood there as three swords hovered behind him. There was blood on one of the swords, showing it was the one he used to cut the tail off.
Naturally, as intelligent beasts, the other four Ashcoil Pythons moved back, distancing themselves from the one whose tail ca off.
"No need to panic, death is just the start of a beautiful, as most used to say." The soul flag appeared, and then the space around them shook when Kent raised his finger and pointed up.
Five streaks of fire, almost like a teor falling from space, appeared, causing thousands of beasts in the Venomous Gorges to look up.
Kent gestured down with a cold snort.
"teor shower."
The five lights moved, and the very ground shook violently.
The five Ashcoil Pythons felt their bodies frozen in place. Naturally, one wouldn’t see what was causing that, but soone with enhanced eyesight would see soul threads linking each python to a teor.
So when they fell, they landed directly on the bodies of the snakes, killing them instantly.
Kent waved his hand, and five fla cores flew and entered his space ring.
He opened the Soul Map, so he knew he had called so attention to himself.
But that was what he wanted.
He knew that if the King of the Venomous Gorge didn’t appear, the beasts that would co would attack him, which would give him an excuse to kill.
But until then, growing stronger was now part of his plans.
He waved his hand, and flas surrounded the body of the five Ashcoil Pythons. In no ti, the flas reduced their bodies to five drops of golden blood.
They flew and entered Kent’s Soul Universe.
Since the system storage was not accessible, Kent had decided to use the Soul Universe as his storage space for items like essence blood, which could easily be damaged if stored raw in space rings.
Kent smiled, "With this, forming my first Blood Gate and reaching a much higher level in Primal Body Tempering Art can easily be achieved."
Kent chose to advance deeper into the inner region. The more he killed, the stronger he beca, so he might as well utilise this chance to grow stronger.
---
Five days went by in a flash.
Within these five days, Kent killed over 500 beasts, each ranging between Tier 17 and 18. He had only used the flying swords and the smaller teors he had created as his weapons.
He didn’t bring his sword, so he can only use the flying swords.
However, while Kent had been on a winning streak over the past five days, having only t Tier 17 and 18 beasts, that streak ended today.
Naturally, facing him now, 24 beasts, three of which Kent knew he couldn’t underestimate.
"So you are the one the Monarch is looking for?" Zeroth, the Fla Cobra King, asked, his arms crossed over his chest.
