After feeling a strange cold flow into their bodies, Kazushige and the others’ faces changed slightly, guessing Leo’s intention.
Leo directly said, “What you just ate is a poison I developed to control people.”
“Now, feel the power of this poison,” Leo said, forming a hand seal with his right hand.
A massive pain, originating from within their bodies, erupted instantly.
Kazushige and Michihiro screamed first.
The pain felt like countless tiny bugs gnawing at their flesh from the inside, and even Ninja Power couldn’t control it.
Kazushige, Michihiro, and the Ninjas behind them started rolling on the ground in agony due to the immense pain.
If there was ever a feeling worse than death, Kazushige and the others were experiencing it deeply.
“Lord Leo, please spare us…” Kazushige and Michihiro screamed and begged for mercy.
At that moment, Kazushige and Michihiro wished they could die by smashing their heads against something; perhaps only death could relieve their pain.
After a minute, Leo changed his hand seal.
The pain came fiercely but subsided quickly. However, Kazushige and Michihiro, tormented to the brink of death, took a long time to get up from the ground.
“The pain you just felt was only the initial stage. If you displease me or disobey my orders, you will experience a higher level of pain.”
“Without my antidote and control, your final outcome will be to die in agony.”
Leo’s words made Kazushige and Michihiro shiver again. They quickly promised to obey Leo completely.
Leo summoned the Divine Dragon Sword, leaped onto it, and gave Kazushige and the others a cold glance. “You know what to do. Don’t disappoint me.”
With that, Leo’s figure disappeared before their eyes.
Watching Leo’s body turn into a stream of light, the fear and shock in Kazushige and Michihiro’s eyes lingered for a long time.
It took a while for their tense nerves to relax, and they collapsed to the ground like two piles of mud.
Next, Leo headed to Franke.
Orientian had been mostly cleared out and properly arranged; it was now Werewolf’s turn.
An hour later, Leo entered Franke territory.
Following the directions on his watch, Leo headed straight for Werewolf’s headquarters.
Soon, a vast sycamore forest appeared in Leo’s sight.
Within the cover of the sycamore forest was an ancient manor.
This manor was the headquarters of the Werewolf clan and the resting place of the Wolf Empress, where elders and presidents resided.
In the center of the manor stood a grand and imposing castle.
In the castle hall, over fifty Werewolves had gathered, and the atmosphere was oppressive.
Leading them was Raymond, the Grand Elder of the council.
“Grand Elder Raymond, we received news that Princes Augustus and Oliver, along with their elite forces who went to attack Seven Stars Sword Sect, were completely wiped out,” a duke elder said to Raymond in a tone of shock and disbelief.
At these words, everyone’s faces filled with astonishment as they looked at Raymond.
Grand Elder Raymond already knew this news; his face was as dark as ice, his old eyes full of anger and shock.
It was known that after consuming Everlife Fruit, Augustus and Oliver had grown over ten meters tall and were incredibly powerful.
Additionally, they had taken Vice President Valdo of the council, eight red-clad dukes, numerous elite Werewolves, and the Wolf Tribe Sacred Item with them.
Such a terrifyingly powerful force had been completely annihilated; not one had survived.
After a moment, Raymond spoke. “Duke Richard, it was that Atrarian boy named Leo who killed Augustus and Oliver.”
“Moreover, the two major families of Orientia who took advantage of the chaos-the Koken family and Mason family-their Heaven Ninjas and Earth Ninjas were all killed.”
“Just now, we received new information that the Atrarian named Leo has gone to Orientia.”
Grand Elder Raymond’s words made Richard realize something; his face changed slightly. “He went to Orientia for revenge?”
“Revenge,” Grand Elder Raymond uttered two words.
“Truly ruthless,” Richard’s heart tightened. “Grand Elder, after he finishes his revenge in Orientia, will he come after us?”
Grand Elder Raymond nodded heavily.
“That boy can kill Oliver and Augustus. If he comes here, how can we resist?”
“Should we surrender to him…”
“Surrender? How can noble Werewolves surrender to lowly humans!?”
The oppressive hall suddenly erupted in noise.
Werewolves might appear proud but were more afraid of death than humans. Many Werewolves supported surrendering to save their lives.
Of course, this was based on the premise that surrendering would indeed save their lives.
“Quiet!” Grand Elder Raymond’s face darkened as he roared angrily.
With all the princes dead, Grand Elder was now the most respected and authoritative figure. Hearing his roar, all Werewolves immediately quieted down.
Everyone eagerly looked at Raymond, waiting for him to make a decision.
Raymond pondered for a moment before speaking loudly. “Given that Atrarian boy’s nature, surrendering would still lead to death.”
“Our only hope lies with Wolf Empress. If Wolf Empress awakens, our Werewolf clan can survive this crisis.”
“Yes, we have Wolf Empress!”
“As long as Wolf Empress awakens, we are saved!”
“Only Wolf Empress can defeat that Atrarian boy!”
Raymond’s words stirred everyone’s emotions. They all turned their fervent gazes towards the golden coffin behind the wolf god statue.
Inside the golden coffin lay their great Wolf Empress, who embodied beauty, wisdom, and immense power.
Grand Elder Raymond continued solemnly. “Waiting for Wolf Empress to wake up naturally is not an option. We must forcibly awaken him.”
As the chief elder of the council, Raymond possessed an ancient secret method to forcibly awaken Wolf Empress.
This method carried two unpredictable outcomes.
The first outcome was successfully awakening Wolf Empress-this was the best-case scenario.
The second outcome was failure in forcibly awakening him, causing Wolf Empress to fall into eternal sleep or die directly.
Grand Elder Raymond’s words plunged all Werewolves into silence.
The risk of forcibly awakening Wolf Empress was fifty-fifty. If it failed and they lost both Wolf Empress and their princes, the entire Werewolf clan would be doomed.
