Chapter 67 Two Beast-Rulers?!!
"Thank goodness you are awake." Angela smiled.
Aaron noticed he was still on her lap, and sat up. "Sorry."
"Uh?"
Angela tilted her head in confusion.
"I should be the one apologizing, You lost such a powerful familiar all because you tried to save me." She looked down at her lap with a guilty expression.
"Saving you is more important, and besides, I can get another familiar." He stood up.
"But?"
Angela looked up at him, not knowing what to say.
"I said it\'s ok, Come on."
Aaron offered her his hand. "We still have a test to pass, don\'t think too much about it, your life is more important than any familiar."
"Uh... Ok." Angela answered, still a little confused, She thought for a moment, and took his hand.
Aaron pulled her up from the ground, then looked around. "We\'ll have to take the other direction, we don\'t want to risk meeting that Beast-Ruler again."
"Jack..."
Angela held his hand, not letting go, her cheek red.
"Um... I want to say thank you, No one beside my family have risked their lives to save me, And for that, I\'ll do anything possible to repay you back... Anything."
She emphasized the word "Anything" hoping he understood her meaning, but Aaron just smiled brightly at her.
"It\'s ok, we are friends, and I can\'t stay back watching my friend get killed... I know I\'ll miss my familiar, but saving you is all that matters... Come on now."
Aaron smiled, slowly removed her hand from his, and walked away.
Angela watched his back for some moment, then followed behind.
\'I don\'t think I\'ll be this calm losing such a powerful familiar, If I\'m in his shoe, I don\'t think I\'ll ever speak to him again... But Jack is different, even with everything, he\'s still smiling like nothing happened... I made the right choice choosing him.\' She thought.

The Dean stopped above the forest, he looked around the expanse of green below him, and sighed deeply.
"I\'d searched all the outer section, those two are nowhere to be found... It seems I need to venture deeper."
With a resolute determination, he flew further inside the forest.
"What do we have here?"
The Dean came to a stop, seeing a woman waiting for him, she was in a black armor, but he could clearly see she\'s not of any race, and most of all, the surrounding energy only showed one stage.
\'A Beast-Ruler?!! I think I can reason with this one.\' The Dean thought, and started;
"Good day, I\'m looking for two kids, A silver hair boy, and a honey blonde hair girl... Have you seen them?"
\'This woman is only at the mid-stage of the Beast-Ruler stage, I can match her.\' He thought.
"Hmm... Are you referring to my meals?"
Modena asked with a smirk.
"Your meals?! How dare you hurt them?!!"
"Oh? I Haven\'t killed them, that boy you mentioned took her away from my teammate, even sacrificing his Great-Demon stage familiar, it was fun killing it, but we missed them."
The Dean sighed in relief. \'That means they\'re alive, I need to stop this monster, but who is the teammates she mentioned?\'
"We\'ll use you to satisfy our hunger for now." Modena sneered, revealing white razor sharp teeth.
"Wha--"
BAM!!!!!
The Dean looked up, seeing a huge Shadow descending towards him, although the sun was obstructing his view, he could see six heads and two huge winds... And to top it all.
"Shit!! That\'s a Beast-Ruler at the peak stage! That must be the Monster Kara talked about, but... How the hell is a peak stage Beast-Ruler still alive??!"
He brought out a rune, and without hesitation, activated it. A golden circle appeared below him.
Calamity opened all its mouths and released six powerful beams from each mouth towards the Dean.
Without hesitation, the Dean entered the circle, while the attacked collided with the rune, the backlash destroyed all the trees 50 meters away, turning them into ash.
"I hope you didn\'t kill him, because that\'s not part of the king\'s plan." Modena looked up at Calamity, who hovered in front of her.
"I know that hybrid, and don\'t ever remind me about my Master\'s plan, I know everything."
With that said, Calamity take into the sky, flying away.
"That six-headed pig! That\'s why my love is better than you!" She yelled, remembering Protean.

[Academy.]
"How is the test going, Miss Kara? Is my daughter winning?" Angela\'s father asked with a smile, observing Kara who sat opposite him.
"The test is going smoothly, and don\'t worry, your daughter is safe."
"Haha! I know she would!!" He let out a hearty laugh.
The space in the office tore opened, and a rune circle appeared.
The two stood up in confusion, and was stunned, as the Dean fell out from the rune, he fell on his knees and threw up a mouthful of blood.
"What happened?!! I asked you to check up on the kids! How did you get injured?!" Kara asked, observing the Emperor with one eye.
\'Shit! With him here, he\'ll discover his precious daughter have had an encounter with a Beast-Ruler, hmm... With his personality, he\'ll be happy she could escape from it, but what if she\'s dead?\'
F-First Elder... Jack, and Angela are Alive, but there are two Beast-Rulers in the forest, I suggest we call all the kids back... Before anything bad happened."
"What is he saying?!"
The Emperor turned his head to Kara, but the Dean continued;
"The Woman said Jack sacrificed a Great-Demon Stage familiar to save Princess Angela, but it resulted to the death of that Familiar."
\'Woman?\'
Kara sat down. "Poor Jack, such a familiar would have been useful to both him and us, what should we do now?" She asked.
"What is happening here?!!" The Emperor yelled in rage.
Kara stared at him for a moment and sighed. "Your daughter and Jack are missing, and it seems they came in contact with a Beast-Ruler, you know the rest."
She answered, stunning the Emperor.
The Dean stood up. "Um... Elder, there are two Beast-Rulers in the forest, one is a woman who\'s at the Mid-stage--"
"--You can take care of her--" Your journey continues with empire
"--I can, but the second is a peak stage, I had to use the rune to its highest degree, which resulted to me vomiting blood... That Beast-Ruler... I couldn\'t see it clearly, but it looks familiar." The Dean said.
Kara sighed; "Give the order, all the children should be back before 3 pm... We need to keep an eye on our kind, and send some soldiers to try and kill those Beast-Rulers."
"What about we take the children and let them be, at least they won\'t be angry and attack our academy or any city."
"Wait Both of you!!" The Emperor yelled at them again.
"Are you saying my daughter is out there, in that forest! Where two Beast-Rulers are moving freely?!"
The two looked at each other, and nodded... Without a second to waste, he anxiously walked out of the Office.
"Send the soldiers and Guardians, Now!!"
"Yes, Yes!!"
The Dean nodded, and quickly moved away from the place.

[300 miles from the Border of the Demons\' Kingdom.]
A small hut was built inside the forest, which was heavily guarded by 20 Bounty Hunters, In this hut were two kids, tied to a chair, with their mouths sealed by a piece of cloth.
"Don\'t worry you two, All your mother need to do is accept my offer, and you two will be release."
Zack sat in front of the two, drinking tea, his right leg crossed on the other.
"Mmm!!"
"Oh? You want to say something?"
He gestured to the knight behind him, who nodded, walked to the girl who seems to be the oldest, and lowered the cloth on her mouth.
"You Wicked Man! Our mother will find us, and we\'ll see what\'ll happen to you then!!"
"Wow, what a sharp tongue you have there..." Zack sneered, placing the cup on the table beside him.
"Ok, If your mother refuses, we\'ll cut off your tongue and send it to her... I know seeing her daughter\'s tongue will change her mind... What do you guys think?"
"Messenger Zack is 100% right." The guard at the right said.
"Of course, I\'m always right."
He relaxed on his seat with a please smile, while the guard covered the Girl\'s mouth again.
AWWWWOOOOO!!!!!
"What the hell is that?!"
Everyone in the room looked at the door and the only window in the hut in surprise.
"You didn\'t tell me there are wolves in this forest!!" Zack yelled at the guard.
"It\'s not possible, No animal can past through the formation I set around us." The guard at the left said, his face filled with confusion.
"Then that is no ordinary animal, Go out and look for it, Bring its meat here... It\'ll make a good snack."
"Yes!"
The four nodded, and walked towards the door, when they opened it, they froze in shock.
"WHAT THE BUTT?!!"
