System's POV-Chapter 818: Raja, The Future King [Part 2]

The other Monsters, including Pica and Pico, also gathered around the White Elephant to help with the brainwashing—err, to help it understand that Shana was a good person, and Zion was a very, very, veeeeeeeeery bad person.

"Aish, Raja. It’s just your bad luck, being captured here," Pica said. "Um, can I call you Raja? This name means King in our language. I’m sure you will grow up to be a great king one day, so how about it? Do you like the name?"

The Elephant trumpeted as if saying that it liked the name and that it didn’t mind being called Raja.

"Raja, you know, if things continue the way they are, I’m afraid you’ll be stuck here for life," Pico whispered in the White Elephant’s ears. "But unlike us, you still have a way to escape from our baaaad Master.

"You know Shana who tried to protect you earlier? She’ll be leaving in a few days. Once she’s gone, there will be no one here who can protect you. Do you see that big skunk over there? The moment the Saintess is gone… It will be pew pew pew time. Do you understand?"

The corner of Stacy’s lips twitched as everyone looked in her direction.

She hadn’t been with the team for a very long time, but it was enough to know that everyone was in cahoots with each other in order to bring the White Elephant under their fold.

However, she had no intention of pointing this out. Zion hadn’t mistreated her during her stay inside the Mobile Fortress, and it took no effort to play along.

Stacy just looked at the White Elephant in pity because she was certain that it would only take a few days before the White Elephant started to dance in her Master’s hand, which was all part of his plan.

Seeing the pity in the Blaze Skunk’s gaze, Raja’s body subconsciously shuddered thinking that Stacy must be looking forward to bullying her again in the future.

That was when Pica whispered like the devil in Raja’s ear.

"Raja, Shana will be leaving here in a few days," Pica said, secretly laughing in her heart. "If you get on her good side, she can take you away from here, far away from our baaaad Master. Once that happens, even my Master can’t take you back. You understand what to do, right?"

The White Elephant, who had been subjected to Stacy’s version of Giga Destroyer, was not in the right state of mind.

After understanding that its savior would leave after a few days, the White Elephant actually started crying.

The Ogres, Pica, Pico, and the Trolls gave the White Elephant a group hug and some words of reassurance.

From an angle the White Elephant couldn’t see, Tiona stared at it with amusement.

The Black Snake was quite impressed by the acting skills of her comrades.

If she had hands, she would have already clapped due to how good their performance was.

After a round of encouragement, the Ogre personally roasted a good chunk of Majin King meat for Raja, which made the White Elephant salivate.

He had seen the Majin King’s body in the distance and feared it even though it was already dead.

But now, he could smell and almost taste the succulent meat that belonged to a creature that once stood at the Apex of the world, who terrorized any monster that was beneath its rank.

"You know, the only benefit of staying in this place is that we get to eat Majin Kings for breakfast, lunch, and dinner," O1 said. "Of course, it doesn’t change the fact that we live in constant fear every day that our Master might suddenly get in the mood to torture us."

"Oh, the horror!" Pico wailed. "I’m still young, yet even I am subjected to such cruelty. Even with my wings, I cannot fly away from this place. What is freedom if I can’t even grasp it in my own wings?"

The more Raja listened, the more he sympathized with the monsters inside Rocky’s Mobile Fortress.

The Hellfire Bal-Boa, who was paying attention to the conversation inside his Mobile Fortress, did his best to keep a straight face as it headed in the direction of the Temple.

However, Zion asked Rocky to slow his pace a bit and delay their arrival by a day.

The teenage boy believed that he still needed one more day to completely brainwash Raja and make it loyal not to him but to Shana.

The White-Furred Elephant was actually the perfect battle beast for the Saintess.

Although it was still weak right now, the moment its rank increased, its Healing Magic, as well as its fighting prowess, would have a great transformation once it became a Rank 4 Monster.

Currently, Raja was only a Rank 3 Monster, so it was still not strong enough to awaken its bloodline power.

But if it formed a Spiritual Contract with Shana, it would not only become a powerful ally, but it would also gain a massive boost in its spiritual power, allowing it to protect the Saintess and trample those who wished to bring her harm.

The good part was that she would be able to store Raja inside her Spiritual World, which would allow the Saintess to summon her Spiritual Beast just like how she could summon an Avatar.

’Since we are close to the Lands of Zaphiel, it’s very normal to find Monsters with Light, Life, and Divine attributes,’ Thirteen thought. ’If we didn’t catch this White Elephant, I’m sure it would be caught by her followers sooner or later.’

Raja was actually a rare White-Furred Elephant blessed with Divine Magic since birth.

However, its Divinity would only manifest once it became a Rank 9 Sovereign.

For now, it could only show its Life Attribute, which allowed it to catch Thirteen’s and Rocky’s attention.

The teenage boy even believed that Fate had pulled some strings to make Raja cross paths with them, allowing it to meet Shana before she arrived at the Temple of Zaphiel.

But despite all this, Zion didn’t care whether Fate played a hand or not.

After all, at the end of the day, Shana wasn’t the Hero, whom Fate had prepared for him.

’I’ll meet that person eventually,’ Thirteen thought as he rested the side of his face on the palm of his hands. ’And when I do…’

A faint smile appeared on Zion’s face.

He was waiting for his Fated Hero to come because he planned to do several experiments while fighting against them.

That way, he would be able to find the proper way to cut the strings of Fate that bound the Cannon Fodders of the world, who had no choice but to play the pitiful role that Fate had designed for them.
