Chapter 289: Contemptuous smile. (2/2)

”Just you wait, you little cockroach!” she gnashed her teeth in annoyance at the sight of him still living. She was supposed to kill him in one move and then head back to study his body, but he had made it into this mess! She vowed in her heart to give him a torturous death after all of this was over.

After creating a safe distance between her and the Sovereign, Darcia decided not to waste any more time as she willed it and a box of glass suddenly appeared in mid-air floating just before her.

Although the Sovereign was clueless as she curiously stared at the box of glass containing a human's arm, Ozul was all too familiar with it.

Eyes wide open, Ozul stared at his arm with a wavering gleam in his eyes.

This was it! The last piece he needed to become whole again! The end to his suffering was right before his eyes...

Despite Ozul's inner turmoil at the sight of his arm, he tried his best not to show any of that on his face.

His mind immediately started racing as he realized that it was the worst situation possible right now. Everything was going according to his plan just a few moments ago, but Darcia taking out his arm before they even started fighting was out of his expectations.

He was hoping for Darcia to die or at least get heavily injured while fighting the Rank-10 Beast, but now he didn't want her to get hit because she had his arm with her.

'What is she trying to do with it?' Ozul's thoughts ran wild as his eyes, in the end, fell on the cannon.

He also couldn't help but notice how the invisible container on top of the cannon was just big enough for his arm to fit in.

While he was in his thoughts, he failed to notice how the Sovereign had shifted her focus of attention to him, ”Oh? This little guy isn't as simple either~ Gahaha! It will be fun crushing you both one by one!”

Ozul didn't have time to care about the Beast's threats as he knew that he had to stop Darcia from doing whatever she was about to do.

He hurriedly sped towards her, but unfortunately for him, the Sovereign had already prepared her spell to test him out.

Woosh!

Another beam of fire was shot but it was at Ozul this time instead of Darcia.

”Damn it!” he couldn't help but curse under his breath as he was forced to cover himself with a shield.

The pillar of fire hit the black shield sending Ozul several meters back in the air!

'Urgh!' Even when covered with the Ball of Purity, the force behind that pillar of fire was enough to make him hold his stomach in pain for a few moments.

The power of a Rank-10 Beast could not be any more obvious to Ozul at this moment as he tried to think of a way to snatch his arm from Darcia's hands.

However, he had lost the opportunity as Darcia had already placed his arm in the cannon's container as she aimed it towards the Sovereign with a toothy grin on her face.

”Kehehe. How dare a beast like you try to be so smug in front of me!” Darcia shouted, making not only Ozul but even the Sovereign a little surprised by her exclamation.

Had she lost her mind? The Rank-10 Beast didn't believe that she had something that could make her, the Sovereign of all the Beasts, bow her head before anyone.

Unlike the Sovereign though, Ozul was surprised because he could guess what Darcia was about to do if she spoke so confidently.

There was no way she wouldn't figure it out as these people had been experimenting with his arm for decades now! They were bound to find some way to use it for some offensive means as well.

And looking at the cannon and his arm in the invisible container on top of it, he could pretty much make out the whole picture of what that fancy-looking cannon was used for.

'A cannon powered solely by my arm? Is it really so powerful that it can deal with a Rank-10 Beast, possibly the strongest any being could get on this continent?' Ozul contemplated as his eyes looked around to search for anything that could provide him an opportunity.

Alas, there was nothing in sight that proved to be even slightly helpful.

”Gahaha! Let me see what this little toy can do for you to be so arrogant, old witch!” the Sovereign again laughed as Darcia looked down at her with a contemptuous smile.

She suddenly started to imbue the cannon with her Mana under the worried gaze of Ozul.
