Chapter 2729: Absolute Loyalty Raiju was truly powerful. The lightning struck the anchor-tailed sea causing its flesh to sear and burn. The smell of cooked meat filled the air. The anchor-tailed sea lion groaned in agony. It rolled and attempted to escape into the sea water. The lightning had struck the sea and heated it up to its boiling point. The blazing white lightning intertwined and erupted blocking every route of escape. The anchor-tailed sea lion could not endure the blazing white lightning storm, so it jumped out of the sea water again. It moved extremely fast, manifesting hundreds of afterimages. Its razor-sharp anchor-like blade was distinct. The anchor-tailed sea lion knew it could not escape so it made its way towards Raiju. It decided to kill Raiju before it died. Raiju’s face was hidden in the middle of the haze created by the flashing lightning. Only its impassive eyes were visible. Its eyes shone with arrogance and disdain. Bam! Raiju lifted its hand. A string of lightning with ancient inscriptions darted out of its cloak. It uncurled from the robe like a white python and lunged at the creature. Raiju was tremendously powerful. Mo Fan sensed the vibration because he stood near Raiju. He felt that the space was being ripped apart. Bam! Although the anchor-tailed sea lion had countless afterimages, Raiju was able to locate its true form. A white python-like lightning struck the anchor-tailed sea lion and sent it flying. The anchor-tailed sea lion’s head smashed open and blood gushed out. It fell in the shallow seawater. It squirmed and struggled as if it wasn’t ready for its own death. Mo Fan was perplexed. Royal Pattern Wolf’s mouth was open in awe. It glanced at Mo Fan. It had taken such pain to rise to ruler-level. Watching Raiju, it felt anxious that Mo Fan would abandon it and choose this powerful creature to be by his side. Despite being a high-class bloodline wolf, the Royal Pattern Wolf accepted the fact that Little Flame Belle was stronger than it and was often in the lead. But it was hard to accept that a random elemental summoning beast was this powerful! ...... The Royal Pattern Wolf was sure that if Raiju’s python-like lightning struck it, it wouldn’t survive at all. Royal Pattern Wolf had secretly gloated at Copper-horned yak’s death. After witnessing Raiju’s strength, it felt that an inevitable doom was creeping its way. “Uh… Well done! You’re very powerful. You can go back and rest.” Mo Fan tried to regain his composure. The proud Raiju did not respond. It casually opened the ancient magic portal and flashed through it to the Thousand Tribe Elf Tower exuding nobility and elegance. Riaju, before leaving, had told Mo Fan about such anchor-tailed sea lions appearing frequently at the peak of the Thousand Tribe Elf Tower which it guarded, and how it had to execute them annually. The air was filled with a burnt smell. The anchor-tailed sea lion was not an ordinary demon. Even Mo Fan had no idea what kind of species it belonged to. But one thing was clear, the anchor-tailed sea lion was at least a low ruler. To Raiju, the anchor-tailed sea lion was no different from a fat little sea lion. Raiju had effortlessly killed it with a chain lightning strike. ... Nonetheless, the anchor-tailed sea lion was a ruler-level demon. Its skin would certainly fetch some money. Besides, its anchor-like tail was very unique. Mo Fan could take it back to create higher level deathstrike magic equipment and armored blade magic equipment. Anchor-tailed sea lion was an Ocean Demon, too. So, its dirty crystal was also very valuable. Mo Fan walked up to its carcass and instructed Old Wolf to dissect valuable parts of the creature’s body. As Old Wolf went close to the anchor-tailed sea lion, it raised its claws. Mo Fan had instructed Old Wolf to get him its tail first. But now, that same tail swung into an arch towards Mo Fan. It swung towards Mo Fan’s neck. He was unprepared to defend himself. Royal Pattern Wolf charged towards Mo Fan before the tail could behead him and blocked the strike with its back. Blood spurted all over Mo Fan. In the middle of the chaos, Mo Fan saw the anchor-tailed sea lion, with the smashed head, staggered and fled. Its skin changed into the color of sea water. Mo Fan blinked. The creature had gone under water and was no longer visible. Mo Fan was furious. He wanted to chase after it but he heard Royal Pattern Wolf groaning in pain. It was more important to tend to it right now. “Why did you have to defend me?! Didn’t you think I could have handled it?” shouted Mo fan, more worried than annoyed. He treated Old Wolf’s wounds. Fortunately, Mo Fan always carried plenty of miracle substances with him. He took out a potion that Xinxia had personally created, adding Life Blessing to it. He poured the potion on Old Wolf’s back. The creature’s tail was very sharp. The Royal Pattern Wolf was a ruler-level beast. The star pattern fur on its body came with a natural fortitude that could withstand many powerful magic and sharp weapons. Still, the creature had slashed and cut Royal Pattern Wolf’s coat with ease, exposing its bones. The Royal Pattern Wolf wailed in agony. “Shh… don’t move. Otherwise, you will die,” said Mo Fan as he pressed it down. Mo Fan chastised the Royal Pattern Wolf but he was very touched that it had defended him by risking its own life. When he was at the freshman meeting at Pearl Institute, Old Wolf had used its body to fend off Mu Nujiao’s wind disc. It had gotten severely injured but it had bought Mo Fan enough time to cast a counterspell. Mo Fan was grateful that Old Wolf was very loyal to him even after all these years. Even if Mo Fan had been caught off guard, he would not have died by the attack. His current spiritual realm was so high that he could have solidified or slowed down an attack just from focusing his mind on it. Old Wolf’s sacrifice was very moving yet unnecessary. But the fact remained that the Ocean Demons were ferocious and wicked. They possessed a variety of strange abilities. Mo Fan might really might be harmed someday if he wasn’t careful. Having a loyal dimensional beast like Old Wolf definitely made him feel more safe and secure. When Royal Pattern Wolf was finally in a stable condition, countless green star bugs rose from its fur in a swarm and flew to the surrounding bushes and plants. When these green star bugs settled on these plants, they sucked the life force out of them. They then returned to Royal Pattern Wolf. As they settled in its fur, Royal pattern Wolf’s flesh grew back. The wound began to heal.
