My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 149

149: Chapter 149: Farewell, Elf Empress!

149: Chapter 149: Farewell, Elf Empress!

Next, this Monarch Level Demon Race member made a swift decision:
“Demon King’s Body!”
In an instant, jet-black Demonic Qi surged like a tide, engulfing him completely.

As a natural talent exclusive to the Demon King, this skill could instantly double all his Attributes!

[Blood Demon]
[Talent: Demon King]
[Level: Monarch Tier Three]
[Power: 100,000 †’ 200,000]
[Constitution: 100,000 †’ 200,000]
[Spirit: 100,000 †’ 200,000]
[Speed: 100,000 †’ 200,000]
[Skills: Demon King Domain, Demon King’s Body…]
Feeling the raging surge of power inside, the Demon Race monarch twisted his lips into a savage sneer.

How long has it been…

Ever since ascending to Commander Level, most battles could be resolved simply by unleashing Domain.

He could no longer recall the last time he went all out and activated Demon King’s Body like this.

But now, facing this special human…

He attacked with his full might once again!

As he witnessed the Monarch Level Demon Race reach 200,000 in every Attribute, Gu Xing felt his heart gradually sink.

The base Attributes possessed by the Demon Race at Monarch Level were simply overwhelming!

His two Guardian Beasts were only at Commander Tier Two, and they’d pushed Attribute Enhancement to its absolute limit.

What was even more troublesome-
After being tempered in Domain for years, this Demon Race’s body had achieved near-perfection, with Attributes terrifyingly balanced.

Not to mention, anyone who ascended to Monarch status was a survivor of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

So, trying to replicate Qing Shuang’s sneak attack strategy from last time was practically impossible.

But even so…

“Sovereign·Start!”
Gu Xing’s left eye suddenly turned silver-white.

“Slaughter·Grant!”
“Guardian·Grant!”
“Heavenly Grace·Grant!”
In an instant, three forces entwined themselves around the two Guardian Beasts-
A blazing Flame Battle Armor erupted around Liu Li, a spear forged from pure Fire Element forming in her grasp.

The Ghost King Illusion above Qing Shuang’s head donned a deep violet Ghost Race battle armor, emanating a chilling Netherworld Aura.

At this moment, Gu Xing had driven his two Guardian Beasts to their absolute peak.

This-was his last trump card!

“Boom–”
Almost at the same moment, two figures tore across the sky.

The burning Angel and the fierce Ghost King Illusion collided with the Demon Race together.

Terrifying shockwaves shattered the void again and again, even the very space crumbled under this level of clash.

Yet Gu Xing’s expression grew heavier by the moment.

Still…

just a hair short!

Even after exhausting every method, his Guardian Beasts and a true Monarch Level powerhouse…

were just a hair apart!

Even more alarming, although the enemy couldn’t fully unleash his Domain, in the heat of battle…

Gu Xing clearly saw faint black wisps of Domain Power continuously seeping from the Demon Race’s body.

Gu Xing’s heart sank.

His Absolute Forbidden Domain could not perfectly suppress a Monarch Level enemy-it only prevented them from projecting Domain outward, but couldn’t lock it down entirely.

And most fatally-
Sacrifice State…

couldn’t last!

Realizing this, Gu Xing clenched his teeth hard.

Damn!

Was there truly no other way?

As the battle reached a deadlock…

Gu Xing’s Beast Taming Space suddenly rippled with disturbance.

Frowning, he sent his Spiritual Power inside, and saw-
The golden World Tree Leaves had vanished without a trace, replaced by an exquisitely beautiful apparition.

Gu Xing’s pupils contracted violently.

This phantom…

Was unmistakably the Elf Empress he’d met in the Elf Secret Realm!

Before he could react, the figure had already appeared in the real world.

Her eyes, brimming with endless wisdom, slowly opened.

“We meet again…”
The Empress’s gentle gaze landed softly on Gu Xing, as though time itself paused in that moment.

Gu Xing’s throat worked; countless words struggled, choking in his chest.

Ultimately, all his doubts condensed into a trembling question:
“Why did you leave that prophecy for the Cat Race!”
Now he understood-the Empress had foreseen today a thousand years ago-
Otherwise, why leave a second prophecy, and why prepare the golden leaves for a sacrifice?

Yet…

The Elf Empress shook her head gently.

“It was not I who left the prophecy…”
She gazed into Gu Xing’s eyes; the river of time and space reflected in her pupils.

“It was you…

who made me do it.”
What?!

Gu Xing’s eyes shrank as if struck by lightning.

A thousand years ago?

Back then, he hadn’t even come to this world!

How could he have made the Elf Empress do such a thing?!

As though seeing his confusion, the Empress raised a slender hand to halt his questions.

“As you are now…

you need not know.”
She whispered gently, and in her palm, a faint Spiritual Light began to glow.

“One day, you’ll understand everything.”
Gu Xing’s gaze fell upon the Empress’s palm.

Curled up there…

Was, shockingly, Sally’s soul!

[Cat Race (Sally)]
[Status: Soul Body]
[Talent: Ordinary One Star]
[Level: Awakening Tier One]
[Power: 0]
[Constitution: 0]
[Spirit: 1]
[Speed: 0]
[Skills: None]
“Sally!”
At the sight of that soul, Gu Xing cried out in shock.

He instinctively reached out, then his hand froze when he saw Sally’s Attributes.

Sally only had one point in Spiritual Attribute.

The other Attributes…

Were all zero!

And her Talent and Level, both the lowest possible.

A single misstep, and she would dissipate.

Then, the Elf Empress gently stroked the fragile soul, speaking softly:
“Place her in the Soul Nourishing Pool, Gu Xing.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Xing nodded.

The Soul Nourishing Pool’s function was to boost Spiritual Power, and only there could Sally’s soul survive.

Carefully, he wrapped her with Spiritual Power as if cradling a precious treasure, and placed her into the Soul Nourishing Pool of his Beast Taming Space.

When it was all done, Gu Xing raised his head sharply:
“How can I resurrect her?!”
The Empress only shook her head slowly.

“What do you mean?!”
Gu Xing’s eyes reddened, his voice trembling.

Did the Empress’s words mean Sally would never awaken…

But the Empress seemed to see his thoughts:
“She is the only one who meets the criteria, so she is the one I chose.”
“Chosen?

What do you mean, chosen?”
“Time Spirit Race.” The Elf Empress spoke slowly: “Only a soul in such a pure state can hope to evolve into a Time Spirit Clan member, and only then can the lost Divine Pattern of the Time Spirit Race be recovered!”
As she spoke, the Empress’s form began to turn transparent.

There’s not much time left…

Suddenly, her expression grew resolute, her tone unprecedentedly grave:
“Remember, every Divine Pattern is crucial; not a single one must fall into the hands of the Demon Race!”
Before her words finished, she ceased looking at Gu Xing and turned slowly to Vera, who stood frozen where she was.

In those eyes, which saw through time and space, there now swelled a thousand years of accumulated remorse.

“Vera…”
The gentle call made the Elf Maiden shudder all over.

“Mother…

I’m sorry.”
The apology, a thousand years late, hadn’t faded before the Empress’s form dissipated like dawn mist, and the golden leaf withered with her.

Just as the last rays of light were about to vanish-
A dazzling golden Divine Pattern flashed from the void like a falling star, shot straight into Vera’s brow!
