In the end, the uproar came to an end.
Other than the fact that Emperor Ermero II once again displayed his knowledge of magic, there were no other results. The person hiding behind the scenes did not reveal anything at all.
Even Ermero II's performance was completely overshadowed by Ryuga's prestige.
After Liu Xia said those words, the people present all showed uncomfortable expressions, as if they had eaten shit. However, this made Luvia's mood much better, and she laughed heartily after that.
After that, everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms.
Time gradually came to an end.
Ryuga and Luvia still did not return to their rooms to sleep. Instead, they once again went to the forest. However, this time, the two of them went to the area around the statue that Ryuga had discovered.
"Sure enough, it is the same statue as the one over there."
Luvia stepped forward to examine the second broken statue and thoughtfully said: "The angel is a beast, glaring at the sky from the west, devouring the sun … … Is this what it means?"
The two statues were located on the east and west side respectively.
The beast in the west should be referring to this statue … … Glaring at the sky, devouring the sun … … What does it mean?
Luvia looked up at the sky. It was still late at night. Everything was silent. There were only a few twinkling stars in the sky. There were no clues at all.
Ryuga stepped forward and searched around the statue.
"The traces of soil here are slightly different from the ones on the other side."
Ryuga looked at the edge of the statue's base. On the edge of the broken base, there were traces of soil that should be newly rubbed out.
Ryuga thoughtfully reached out and grabbed the base. Then, she suddenly exerted force to the side.
"Bang!"
With a sound of impact, the base was directly thrown away by Ryuga. It smashed into a tree not far away, revealing a narrow staircase below.
"Secret room? So that's how it is. Glaring at the sky means it is underground! "
Luvia suddenly understood. Then, she followed behind Ryuga and entered the passage.
The underground passageway was not very deep. The narrow staircase extended for less than ten meters before they arrived at the damp and gloomy underground chamber.
In the dark room, there was a dark shadow entrenched there.
It was a beast that was about the height of a human. Perhaps due to magic, even with Ryuga's eyesight, she could not see its figure clearly. She could barely tell that it was a four-legged beast. Its shape was similar to a wolf, but it also looked like a spider.
"No wonder I didn't notice it before."
Previously, when Ryuga was chasing after it, the beast had hidden itself in an underground secret room. Because of the magic on its body, Ryuga was unable to see its figure clearly. That was how it managed to escape his line of sight.
"— May I ask the name of the Angel?"
In the dark underground chamber, a hoarse and indistinct voice that sounded like a howling wind came from nowhere.
"He spoke? This beast? "
When Luvia heard this, she couldn't help but show a little surprise. They thought that this magical beast was irrational, but it could actually speak. Could it be that it still retained a little bit of intelligence?
"The name of the Angel is — Michael!"
Although her mind was filled with thoughts, Luvia's movements did not stop. Her eyes went past Ryuga and landed on the beast in the dark room. She shouted out the name of the Angel that was given to her.
Ryuga did not stop her, nor did he immediately attack the beast.
Luvia's purpose was to obtain the secret method of Peel City. His purpose was to use Luvia to enter the eyes of King Ermero the Second, and then enter the Clock Tower through the protection of the King's family.
In view of this, he must let Luvia get the benefits within a certain range. Otherwise, she might not be willing to spend much effort to help.
"— May I ask the name of the Angel?"
However, contrary to Ryuga's expectation, the beast did not give any clues to the next stage. Instead, it repeated the previous sentence.
"Sure enough, it's not that simple."
Luvia, on the other hand, seemed to have expected this. She sighed, then took a step back and gave Ryuga the space. "Yin-yang, please take it down. Try to capture it alive."
"Got it."
Ryuga nodded and stepped forward.
One ghost and one beast, just like that, confronted each other.
As if its wild instinct had sensed Ryuga's threat, the beast stood up from the ground. Its four limbs were tensed up as if it was going to attack in the next moment.
"Roar —"
Before the battle even started, the beast suddenly puffed up its chest, opened its mouth wide, and roared towards Ryuga's direction with a huge amount of magic power.
Just a normal roar was enough to shake a person's eardrums and internal organs. Not to mention a roar that was infused with magic power. Even an ordinary person would instantly bleed out of their seven orifices.
Even Luvia, who was standing behind Ryuga, covered her head in an instant, showing an extremely uncomfortable expression. It was only until she used the 'Enhancement' technique on herself that she felt better.
However, Ryuga, who was facing this roar, was as if nothing had happened to him. Not to mention that his internal organs were damaged, he didn't even frown.
"His strength is indeed many times stronger than ordinary people, but he might not have reached the level of a servant. Even a third-rate servant might not be comparable to him. At most, he would only be able to fight with him."
Ryuga even leisurely commented on the beast.
His [Skill Upgrade Quest] was to defeat a servant. However, in modern society, even in the clock tower, it was difficult to find a servant, let alone in a place like Peel City.
The strength of this beast was not even comparable to a third-rate servant in Ryuga's eyes. It could only bully him when he first got the [Anonymous Spiritual Base]. If he let it grow a little bit, it would be far stronger than this beast.
"Forget it, let's capture it first."
Ryuga gave up the idea of using this beast to complete the quest. He silently walked forward. Under the gaze of the beast, the power of his legs suddenly burst out, and his whole body flashed like an illusion.
"Goo!"
The beast was slightly stunned. Although its figure couldn't be seen clearly, it still gave a feeling of shock. Then it immediately instinctively raised its forelimbs and blocked in front of its body.
"Slap!"
In the next moment, a whip kick landed in front of it, catching it off guard and sending it flying.
"Roar!"
The beast crashed into the wall and let out a painful cry. Its forelimbs were trembling, but immediately after, it became ferocious. It stomped its hind legs, raised its sharp claws, and stabbed towards Liu Xia's chest.
"His attacks don't seem to have any pattern. His fighting style is no different from those hooligans on the streets."
Liu Xia didn't even have the intention to exchange blows with the beast. The moment the beast pounced over, he didn't retreat. Instead, he charged forward and rushed through the gap between the beast's front limbs. He didn't hold back and punched towards the beast's chest.
