Beast Evolution System: Devourer of Heaven-Chapter 299: Witch Of A Hundred Faces and the Dragon King

Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Witch Of A Hundred Faces and the Dragon King

They all turned and saw a woman carrying a golden spear. Next to her was a beautiful fox whose smile could melt even the hardest of hearts.

Sbonga giggled, " Hello captain, it’d been a while." Angelica’s face contorted with disgust.

" It seems this pest is still alive." She whispered not even addressing Sbonga directly.

The insult and disregard made his face twist with rage, then he clicked his tongue and ignored Angelica.

He pointed a finger at Avery, the blonde man kicked off the ground attacked her. His body appeared Infront of her like a blur.

She barely had time to react, he was too fast plus she was already exhausted and used up all of her essence energy.

The man stabbed his sword straight for her heart. Just as the sword was about to stab her, an arrow pierced through his head.

The arrow appeared out of nowhere like a ghost. At it end was a talisman, the blonde man fell down and crashed on the ground.

A death aura covered Sbonga like armour and an arrow appeared a few centimetres from his head.

He was caught off guard and sweat fell down his forehead. Had it not been for the automatic death aura defence of his coffin he would’ve died right there.

Avery flew down and landed next to Angelica and Fern. " How’d you find me?" She asked.

" We received an anonymous tip that you’ll be here, along with an old rat." Angelica replied.

Yet her eyes were focused solely on Sbonga. Anybody could see the anger burning in her eyes.

Sbonga grinned showing his crooked teeth, his vessel has turned him into a disgusting looking person.

Unfortunately he didn’t have anymore battle corpses other than Goldi and the blonde man.

The blonde man stood up and pulled out the arrow in his head. From behind Angelica and Fern, Lucy showed up.

Her beautiful blonde hair dancing through the wind. She focused all of her attention on her brother.

The pain in her eyes was visible for all to see. Then the people in black robes stood next to Sbonga facing Angelica and the others.

Angelica looked at Avery. " I suggest you carry out your mission." She whispered, Avery looked conflicted.

She didn’t want to disobey her lord’s orders but she wanted to go help him more. Angelica noticed that.

" Don’t worry about the big guy, somebody is taking care of that."

At the same time near the black tower a woman with a white featureless mask appeared.

Her body blended with her surroundings like she was part of them. It was almost a perfect camouflage.

On a garden behind the tower was a maid from the golden monkey clan tending to the flowers.

The maid’s human form was extremely beautiful with long golden hair and eyes. She had a bit of golden hair around her neck like a scarf which made her even more beautiful.

The witch of a hundred faces couldn’t help but smile. There was nothing she loved more than torturing beautiful women and then steal their faces.

Unfortunately she didn’t have time for torture so she sneaked up on the pretty maid and sliced her throat silently.

Nobody heard or saw anything, purple mist came out from behind her mask and dissolved the body into nothingness in mere moments.

After transforming into the maid herself she continued watering the plants for a bit longer to play the role.

Then she went into the tower, if she had enough time she could’ve absorbed the memories of the maid making her disguise even more perfect.

She greeted other maids along the way then realised how abnormal this place was. Everybody working here, even the strongest had at least rank 4 power.

Most were projection realm and she didn’t understand why such power was necessary for maids.

Even the one she was disguised as had the power of a newly promoted projection realm.

" Jin Mei." Somebody called out.

The witch of a hundred faces continued walking. " Jin Mei stop I’m talking to you." Finally she realised they were talking to her.

A woman of the rabbit clan came behind her with hurried steps. She knew about this clan and their matriarch White.

It is said White was given that name by the king himself and her clan was the first of his people.

The ones who had been with him the longest and his caretakers. They held a special place in his kingdom.

The witch of a hundred faces bowed showing respect. " What are you doing?you’re a princess for lord’s sake, have some pride.

And you know we only bow to the lord and his entourage not just anybody, not even each other or it would just diminishes the importance of such a gesture."

The witch of a hundred faces was confused and apologised. However she was still confused by a lot of things.

If this body belonged to a princess then why was she a maid and the devotion these people had to their king was bothering a cult.

It was ridiculous, she could never imagine herself dedicating so much of herself to somebody else.

Everything she did was for her own benefit. The rabbit maid which was obviously her superior gave her a scrub, a brush, a towel and polish.

The polish smelled heavenly, better than most perfumes she knew. She wondered what they were for.

" I do hope you haven’t forgotten that it’s your turn to clean the lord. If you’re not feeling okay then go home.

Somebody else with do your tasks, all of us would relish the opportunity to touch the lord’s glorious scales."

The maid’s face turned red when she said that, the witch of a hundred faces could tell this woman’s mind was somewhere else.

She shook her head and almost laughed imagining a dragon and a tiny rabbit embracing each other.

She took the bucket of water and everything else and left. She didn’t know where the king’s room was but she couldn’t ask or that would be suspicious.

She searched for a while pretending to just be taking a scroll trying to look as unsuspicious as possible.

Finally she found it and went inside. The room was huge and very beautiful. At it centre was a massive dragon laying on a beautiful red carpet.

The entire room was dark with only a soft dim blue light lighting up the entire place. The moment she got in and closed the door she heard a deep voice in her head.

’ Witch of a hundred faces, I did not expect you, I thought the fiery bastard would come himself, how disappointing.’

The witch of a hundred faces bowed. " Great king of beasts, the beast of vengeance, the black ruler of the skies Ved.

It’s an honour to see you again. The last time we met I might’ve gave of a wrong impression, forgive me for that."

She said in a playful tone. ’ Wrong impression you say? Are trying to convince me you’re no enemy of mine when you’re here to assassinate me?’

She giggled, " Oh do not be mistaken king Ved, I do not hate you, on the contrary I quite admire you.

Very few people in this world are as renowned and at the same time as feared as you.

Infact, I don’t think there’s anybody else who fits those criteria, not even the beautiful princess of snow.

She’s beloved indeed but she’s not feared, not like you, this is not personal." Ved didn’t respond, he continued lying there with his eyes closed.

The witch of a hundred faces on the other hand had different thoughts running through her head.

Although she acted brave it was all a ruse, she could feel his aura and understood why all the maids were so strong.

Anybody weaker would die in his presence as the king of beasts was not hiding his oppressive aura.

The gravity in this room was heavier to the point even with her strength she felt like she was carrying a boulder just standing here.

However the worst part was the sharp nature of his aura. It was so strong her clothes had literally been ripped to shreds as if cut a thousand times by a sharp sword.

She knew this was only a passive state of his aura not him releasing it intentionally. She wondered how strong this man actually was.

However she was certain he was much stronger than the rumours claimed. However that did not matter.

She still had to kill him, no matter how strong he was, in his current state he was defenceless against her.

Or anybody for that matter, she took a step towards him cautiously. She wasn’t a fool or a reckless person.

Her caution was the reason she had lived for so long. The closer to him she got the clearer she felt his aura and it was more terrifying than she had ever expected.

She doubted even her boss would be able to take down this dragon in his full strength. She stood next to his head yet he did not move nor open his eyes.

She pulled out her black dagger, an aura of death and decay reeked off it. Without a second thought she stabbed his eye.

Her daggers had special poison, as soon as they pierce into his eyes they will send deadly poison straight to his brain killing him in seconds.

However the bloody scene she had expected did not occur. Clang, sparks flew when her dagger met his scaly eyelids.

The force sent a massive shockwave through the entire room. Purple mist covered her and she jumped back in shock.

" How?" She whispered, then she heard the sound of lightning. " Shit." She cursed and tried to run but it was too late.

A soft musical tune entered her ears causing her entire body to freeze. Two women appeared Infront and behind her, both giving her cold murderous looks.
