Chapter 190 The Ice Lion King
Cyrus stood right in front of the platinum dimension core, which seemed to be quivering from the moment he had arrived in this place.
Aveline stood beside him, still baffled about what happened earlier. Furthermore, there were few more people present in this place who were cultivating here because the Qi here was denser in the entire dimension because of the dimension core's presence.
However, those people were simply too afraid to even look straight at Cyrus, much less approach him, because the moment Cyrus appeared, he emitted a strange aura that gave those magic beasts deadly chills. Only Aveline seemed fine.
"It appeared afraid, right?" Cyrus suddenly questioned Aveline with a cold smirk.
Aveline was startled and quickly replied, "Y-yes!"
Cyrus said, "Why are you looking so tense? Do you not appreciate my kindness?"
Aveline paled and quickly shook her head, "I'm very grateful for Your Majesty's favor. B-but it's just that I can't understand why me but not my Miss? She's far more talented than anyone in our clan. I think she should be the most suitable one for your favor!"
"Heh, how loyal." Cyrus snickered, making the little girl flinch, "She is indeed a good seed, but she is not as good as you think she is. Let me enlighten you. Your species belonged to the Serpent Race.
"The ancestor of the Serpent Race is the Basilisk, the Monarch of all serpents! But your species is simply too far away from having any trace of your ancestor's bloodline, and if, by any heaven-defying chance, you met the higher bloodline descendants from your ancestor, they will treat you like trash.
"However, you, on the other hand, somehow have a trace of the Serpent Monarch's bloodline, which I sensed when I used my spell. I thought I sensed wrong until I saw you myself."
Cyrus's eyes shimmered with ecstasy while Aveline was in utter incredulity, and he said, "That's why you are far more precious than your clan. If I can help you awake that dormant bloodline, you will be directly evolved into a complete monster. And I just happened to be someone who had killed a Basilisk and acquired its method of cultivation. So now you tell me, are you precious or not?"
Aveline was completely speechless as it was too much for her to take in since Cyrus had just said that Basilisk was the Monarch of all serpents, yet at the same time, he had killed one.
Didn't this mean Cyrus was even more terrifying than Serpent Monarch?
Now such an existence was going to nurture her, so how could she not feel disbelief and dreamy?
Cyrus simply ignored the little dumbfounded girl as he knew it would take some time to process all this ridiculous information. If he wanted, he could've simply hidden this information, but there was no need to do it as there were no benefits to it.
On the contrary, by telling Aveline the truth, she would no longer think of herself as a lowborn maid and will regain confidence.
Although Basilisk sounds like a terrifying being, Cyrus doesn't tell her that the Serpent Monarch can only be reached up to the deity realm in its life. He had other plans for Aveline once she tuned into a basilisk. But it would take a very long time for it to happen, but Cyrus could wait since he wasn't losing anything.
Then Cyrus suddenly turned around and gazed at those hidden magic beasts and coldly uttered, "Who among you is the Ice Lion King? Is he here? If not, fetch him for this Emperor. If he's dead, I want the second in command of the Ice Lion Tribe."
Before coming here, he had already put a spell around the dimension gate, and now no one can leave this place, only enter. So, he wasn't worried about them running away in these three days.
Furthermore, he was not here for the Vile Horn Snake Race but the Ice Lion Race, which was the strongest race in the Moonshine Forest. If the snake race knew what was good for them, they would submit. If not, then he doesn't mind since he had already got his hands on Aveline and around 30 thousand Vile Horn Snakes with good potential.
It was enough for him to break them on his own, even if those guys did not agree with his rule. Now he had time. He wanted to deal with the Ice Lion King as well and make sure once he returned, they would not cause trouble.
But he didn't know if that was alive or swooped in by his previous attack. However, it matters little as long as there was another Ice Lion present in this place who could hold command in his stead.
After Cyrus's order, only a few moments later, a tall silhouette walked out. It was a handsome burly male with a beautiful silver mane and a long thick beard. He had some silver fur around his neck, and his eyes were filled with trepidation as he glanced at Cyrus.
He stopped a few meters away from Cyrus and respectfully said while his face was filled with cold sweat, "I'm Silver, the Ice Lion King, milord!"
Cyrus dismissively nodded as he replied, "When I destroy this place, I want you to appease your clan or don't blame me for killing them for annoying me. Afterward, I want you to send someone to the previous goblin but now Lust Sword Region to call one of my men and prepare your tribe's weaklings for migration. I'm taking over the entire Moonshine Forest while giving you all a new, more suitable home, do you understand?"
Silver paled at Cyrus's declaration because it meant Cyrus had come from their side and was afraid that his own people would meet the same fate as this city. However, when he thought about what Cyrus just instruct him to do, he was somewhat optimistic again.
Then he suddenly thought about something and asked with apprehension, "M-milord, can I inquire that you are from the High Orc Empire?"
Now it was Cyrus's turn to be surprised!
