247  My Luck Is Bad Today

Five magical beasts in human form were talking in a meeting room. The meeting room was huge and located in the deepest part of Framingburns forest.

These five magical beasts were Dezmavas, Vianola, Pyria, Eldrin and Zelphar.

"Young lord, may we know the reason for your visit?" Zelphar asked politely.

"I want to attack Nightshire City and I want you all to help me." Dezmavas gave an honest answer.

Vianola, Pyria, Eldrin and Zelphar were startled.

'Attack Nightshire city?'

Of course, they knew what was special about Nightshire City.

Dezmavas was not surprised when he saw their expression because he had guessed this before.

"Don't worry. I promise I will share everything if we can conquer Nightshire City, including the Rainbow Pool." Dezmavas uttered, "So, how is it? Do you agree to help me?"

Vianola, Pyria, Eldrin and Zelphar exchanged glances with each other.

'Rainbow Pool?'

Greed suddenly appeared within them.

Even though Nightshire City was not a big city, but this city was special.

In this city, there was a magical pool hidden in underground cave. That magical pool was called Rainbow Pool.

It was called Rainbow Pool because the water in the pool had many colors like a rainbow.

Rumor had it the Rainbow Pool could increase the speed of energy absorption by one notch if you soaked in the pool.

If one's talent was only Grade D, that person's absorption speed would be the same as someone with Grade C talent.

Not only that, but the rainbow water could also cure skin diseases, including scars.

And actually, Nightshire City was built for the sake of hiding the Rainbow Pool.

The previous Ruler, who found the Rainbow Pool, knew that the magical pool could trigger a great war in Luvrela region, so he built a city to hide and protect it.

The raid of countless magical beasts into Nightshire City five years ago was also caused by this Rainbow Pool.

The Red Ogres who planned to attack Nightshire city and were wiped out by Scarlett and the others were also caused by this Rainbow Pool.

They were all interested in the Rainbow Pool because this pool was not an ordinary pool.

It was a magical pool!

It was a pool that could give hope to everyone.

And it was a pool that could change everyone's fate.

It was a pity that Scarlett did not know about the existence of the Rainbow Pool. Otherwise, Nightshire City would have become the strongest and majestic city in Luvrela region.

"What is your answer?" Dezmavas was sure they would not refuse his request because his offer was very tempting.

He asked this question because he wanted to hear the answer from their mouths directly.

"Young lord, we don't have enough troops to attack Nightshire city." Vianola hated to admit it, but the citizens of Nightshire City were strong.

They even could protect their city when thousands of magical beasts attacked their city five years ago.

"That's right, young lord." Eldrin agreed with Vianola's words.

Of course, Dezmavas knew about this.

This was the reason why he asked Vianola, Pyria, Eldrin and Zelphar to help him attack Nightshire City.

"I have 13,000 followers ready to help at any time." Dezmavas spoke and paused for a second before finally he continued, "Fifteen of them are at 3-star, while the rest are at 1-star and 2-star."

As a dragon, Dezmavas had many followers of various races because dragons were a race at the top of the food chain, so it was normal that many magical beasts worshiped dragons.

Vianola, Pyria, Eldrin and Zelphar were startled when they found out the number of Dezmavas' followers.

"How many subordinates do you have?" Dezmavas inquired.

"I have 2,450 subordinates." Vianola answered.

"I have 2,500 underlings." Pyria responded.

"I have 2,650 subordinates, young lord." Eldrin replied.

"I have 2,450 underlings, young lord." Zelphar said.

"We will have 23,050 troops if you agree to help me attack Nightshire City. So, what is your answer?" Dezmavas repeated his previous question because they still had not answered it earlier.

Vianola, Pyria, Eldrin and Zelphar exchanged glances with each other before finally nodding their heads. "We agreed to help you, young lord."

"Good! I made a plan before coming to Framingburns Forest. I will tell you about my plan now." Dezmavas began telling them about his plan.

"That's an amazing plan, young lord." Zelphar stated.

"Yes. That's a fantastic plan, young lord." Eldrin agreed with Zelphar because Dezmavas' plan was indeed amazing.

"Un, un." Pyria and Vianola nodded their heads.

"Then let's carry out the first step now." Dezmavas uttered.

"Alright." Vianola, Pyria, Eldrin and Zelphar responded in unison.

They then left the meeting room.

Ace was currently standing and checking his stats, while Layla was taking a beast core not far from him.

Even though they had killed twenty magical beasts, but they only got three beast cores so far.

This was the reason why Layla sighed several times because she felt like the goddess of luck was not on her side today.

"My luck is really bad today." she had used a lot of energy, but she only got three beast cores.

'These three beast cores won't be enough to help me level up.'

She sighed again.

"Don't say that. Maybe we will get a lot of beast cores later." Ace uttered, "How about we have lunch now? We used a lot of energy earlier, so we need to rest and recover our energy."

"But you will be the one cooking for lunch." She was not in the mood to cook.

"How about we cook lunch together?" he inquired.

"You cook lunch, I cook dinner. How is it? Do you agree?" she asked.

"Sure." He agreed instantly.

"Hehe. Good." her mood instantly improved because his cooking was always delicious.

As Ace was talking with Layla, a deer approached him from behind. The deer was big with a height of about two meters.

When the deer saw Ace, what crossed his mind was one thing.

Prey!

He had killed many people before, so he was not afraid of Ace and Layla.

He was also sure that he could kill them later.

When the deer realized that an opportunity to kill Ace had appeared, it rushed toward Ace before finally jumping high, intending to kill Ace with its antlers.

Layla, who noticed the deer, shouted, "Ace, behind you."

Ace instantly turned around.

'A deer?'

He raised his right hand forward before finally using Earth Shield magic.

Bang!

The sound of deer's antlers hitting the Earth Shield reverberated in the entire area.

The deer did not run away when his surprise attack failed; instead, he pointed his antlers at Ace, ready to attack again.

"2-star magical beast, huh?" Ace checked the deer's stats using his system. "Just where did your courage come from?"

When the deer rushed toward him again, Ace used Thunderbolt magic to attack it. And because the deer was only at 2-star, it got killed shortly after that.

"Layla, how about we eat deer for lunch?" Ace inquired.

"Ace, I want deer soup." Layla said happily.

"Sure." He responded, "But help me clean the deer first. I will prepare the seasonings."

"Alright." Layla responded instantly.

'We will have deer soup for lunch. We will have deer soup for lunch.'

She smiled happily.
