Chapter 124: Heavy Punch! Must Deliver a Heavy Punch! (6.6k)_4
Damn it, why does it have to be now!
Watching the surging green light bands, Morgan unwillingly closed her eyes.
Just as the mighty natural divine power was about to engulf the falling figure in mid-air, blazing golden flames surged forward, vaporizing the spreading green glow.
A pair of open arms firmly caught Morgan's falling body.
Seeing Luo En in front of her, along with the friends who arrived later, Morgan's tense heartstrings relaxed instantly, and her sagging spirits were invigorated:
"Just in time, join me and let's destroy that foul beast!"
Although Cornus was one of the four Divine Kings of Sky Island, as a god of nature presiding over hunting, fertility, animals, plants, and the wilderness, its combat power was the weakest among the Four Thrones.
If she teamed up with Vivian, backed by Bagster and Bawansi with the Great Mother's power, Meiluxin, the incarnation of the Holy Dragon Albion, and the Great Mage Merlin, who inherited from Sun King Gwyn of Wales, they could definitely overpower Cornus and eliminate that foul beast Kaseparuge, avenging the wrongful deaths of the Rain Elves in Oakney City.
"Wait a moment, things aren't as you think!"
Luo En held Morgan's shoulder and shared what he discovered at the scene with her.
"Really?"
Morgan was skeptical.
The accompanying friends nodded in succession, producing a crystal ball with recorded images to validate Luo En's statement.
With evidence before her, Morgan's mind, clouded by hatred, finally cooled down. She gritted her teeth and asked:
"If it wasn't Kaseparuge, who was the culprit? Who would annihilate the entire Rain Clan?"
"Fuwu~ Fuwu!"
The wronged Kaseparuge, unnoticed, had jumped from the shoulder of Beast God Cornus and ran to the crowd, gesticulating to plead its case.
"Has claws and teeth..."
"Covered in fur..."
"Looks fierce, in large numbers..."
Vivian and several Elf Knights quickly deduced the answer after a brief interpretation:
"—The Fang Clan!"
This was a branch of the Six Great Fairy Clans of the south, possessing strong bodies and beastlike appearances, known for their brutality and belligerence.
Moreover, not long ago, a small caravan of Piques came to Oakney, planning to cover up their inefficiency through tricks, extorting a batch of offerings for the Savin Festival from the Rain Clan fairies.
As fate would have it, these Piques stumbled upon Bawansi and were taught a lesson by Morgan and her group.
If remembered correctly, the sponsor behind them was indeed the Fang Clan!
"To sacrifice to the Death Goddess Morrgan on Savin Festival, the best offering would be [Life], lots of [Life]..."
Vivian spoke softly, while Morgan trembled with anger beside her.
She roughly understood why the Rain Clan faced annihilation.
The Fang Clan, having not acquired the desired offerings, blamed the Rain Clan under the Piques' instigation, led a large force to Oakney, slaughtering all the city's fairies as gifts for the Death Goddess Morrgan.
Of course, given those beasts' natures, it might also be their indulgence, under the name of divine sacrifice.
With Oakney's fall, her set seal weakened due to changes in the earth veins, allowing Kaseparuge to break free.
"Fuwu!"
The white-furred little beast bared its teeth at Morgan, feeling extremely aggrieved.
After its escape, the entire Oakney became a dead city. Grateful for everyone's rescue, it chose not to flee but to stay in the city searching everywhere, trying to save any survivors.
But since those from the Fang Clan left no living souls, it could only move the fairies' corpses to the square, hoping to find some faking death. If impossible, then destroy the bodies to slow down Moss's spread.
Yet before it could finish, the returning Morgan mistook it for the culprit, didn't give it a chance to explain, intent on mincing it to pieces in her rage.
If not for its tough luck, it almost got skewered by this Death Goddess.
Understanding the cause and effect, Morgan suddenly felt a bit ashamed:
"Sorry, I misunderstood you."
"Fuwu~~"
Kaseparuge shook its head, gently rubbing against Morgan's arm to comfort her.
Strictly speaking, the reason the Rain Clan was furious at the Fang Clan to the point of extinction was due to taking it in.
If Morgan's group hadn't reached out to it, maybe the Rain Clan wouldn't have faced such a disaster.
Although receiving Kaseparuge's comfort, Morgan's gloomy mood didn't ease much.
Unexpectedly, her moment of kindness brought a catastrophe upon the Rain Clan.
She merely left the Southern Realm for a while, and without constraint, the Fang Clan took out their anger and frustration, exterminating the Rain Clan.
If stringent restraints aren't applied, who knows what heinous acts these inherently wicked ones might commit.
Indeed, to make the Six Great Fairy Clans obedient and complete the mission entrusted, fabricating the King's Sword on time, strong measures are needed!
"Rest assured, when I return, I will seek justice for you and the entire Rain Clan!"
While stroking Kaseparuge's head, Morgan promised with a grim face, her invisible sharp aura made several Elf Knights shiver with fear.
After collecting her thoughts briefly, Morgan lifted her head, gazing at the Danu Deity, shrunk to human height, fluffy and chubby amidst the forest mist, and frowned asking:
"By the way, Cornus, why are you here instead of Ireland and Sky Island?"
