325 Chapter 325. Heartbeat.

At the plant's attacking him, Gerd reacted by covering his body with a bloody light, creating something similar to armor. However, when the carnivorous plants' serrated teeth pressed on it, the armor was torn into shreds and their teeth sunk into his body, making Gerd scream in pain. "AAARGH!"

Since protection didn't work, he released one of his strongest attacks at them, not caring about injuring himself. At this pace, the plants would kill him before he escaped their mauling.

His body released a black and red fire explosion, trying to incinerate those plants. The burst engulfed all the plants around him, covering them in a powerful fire.

Of course, not only he but also other allies attacked and tried to save him.

Meanwhile, the Green Dragon princess arrived beside Cecile and the others again, ignoring whatever was going on in that place. She asked one more time. "Where is she? I want to present myself to little Sister Yasenia."

Evelyn looked at the bountiful bosom of the dragoness and said, "Say, Tittyragon, *Cough.* Dragon, aren't you concerned about that man escaping? There are even demons helping him from the outside."

The Dragon Princess blinked repeatedly, 'What did she call me? She must have stuttered because of my beautiful and charming presence. Yes, that's it.'

As the Dragon Princess lied to herself, she answered lightly. "Since you are also her mate, I don't mind answering even if you are a human. What element are those filthy Demons using, flat girl?"

Evelyn gasped and said, "Impossible. I've met my match!"

Andrea slapped the back of her head while laughing, "Answer her, Evelyn. Don't be such a clown."

Evelyn answered with a salute, "Miss Dragon Princess, they are using fire against your mighty plants. May I remind the lady that plants are weak to fire?" Andrea and the others smirked and shook their heads. Evelyn's lightheartedness relaxed their previously anxious feelings, allowing them to calm down.

Yasenia's situation had them tense, but after Evelyn's conversation with the Dragon Princess, they could look around more calmly since people were losing time grouping up and looking their way.

The princess nodded and answered. "You are right. They are using fire against plants created by a Dragon."

Evelyn looked at the plants still sprouting from the ground and blinked, "Why does that matter? Are plants different depending on who they summon them?"

Valeria smiled and said, "The first dragon was a Fire breathing dragon. It wasn't that powerful. In fact, what made dragons so powerful was their adaptability and potential. Moreover, since most dragons come from a "Fire Dragon," no matter how far away from the original, all dragons have heat resistance. There are expectations, as in everything, but the general rule applies to this little girl."

The princess looked at the tall woman and saw her golden slit pupils. She asked, "Are you also a dragon? I can't sense any draconic blood from you."

Valeria shook her head, "I'm a spirit."

"Hoh~, you are a very knowledgeable spirit." Then, she turned toward Evelyn and said, "What your friend here said is true. My plants have resistance to heat."

Evelyn nodded, "So he should be dead by now."

The Dragon princess puffed her bountiful bosom, making it jiggle, and said proudly. "Of course! I was the one attacking, after all-"

"SLUT! HOW DARE YOU HURT ME SO MUCH! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU."

They all turned, and Evelyn commented. "Well, he is pretty alive in my books. He is even cursing at you."

Gerd had managed to escape the attack after a while. However, he was a sorry sight. His right leg was gone below the knee, and his right arm was chewed out. The skin was somewhat burned because of his own attack, and blood dripped from open wounds on his face.

The only reason he was alive was that cultivators could live with wounds that would absolutely kill a mortal.

The Dragon Princess lifted her elegant eyebrow and praised. "Impressive, you lived only sacrificing your right arm and leg. Are you sure you don't have cockroach bloodline in you?"

Evelyn laughed aloud, "That's quite appropriate. However, he won't be alive for long."

"Why do you say that? He should be able to regenerate with a peak-level Heaven-ranked pill."

Angel said, "Well, Yasenia wants him dead, so he shouldn't be able to remain alive for long."

The Dragon princess nodded. "I see. Aunty Tatyana's daughter should be strong enough to kill him. I won't steal her prey."

Evelyn saw Gerd muttering who knows what and said, "To think I will be able to feel schadenfreude one of these days. What are you muttering, dumbass? Have you gone mad after- Huh?"

Under their surprised eyes, Gerd's body bubbled disgustingly, and new limbs burst from his knobs. His skin regrew at visible speed, and after making an instant robe change, he was as good as new.

The process had been extremely gross to look at, but the results were impressive.

All the people from the righteous and beast sides looked on with wide eyes. Kali blinked, unable to believe it. "What kind of skill did you use?"

Gerd cleaned the blood and snorted. "As if I would tell you. You only have to know that flesh wounds won't be able to kill me!"

Meanwhile, Evelyn took out a photo and looked at it intensely.

The Dragon Princess curiously looked over and then blushed furiously, "W-WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT A NAKED WOMAN'S PHOTO!?"

Evelyn snorted and took out another one, "I need to cleanse my eyes with Yasenia's naked tits! Look, I'm not the only one!"

Said the perverted girl as she pointed at a group of women with Yasenia's different photos in their hands.

The Dragon Princess almost tripped while standing still. "Who are they!?"

The group of one thousand female cultivators shouted in unison, "We are Yasenia's S.L.U.Ts!"

Silence.

Absolute silence is what followed that absurdly well-coordinated statement. Even Evelyn was impressed, "I'm very proud of all of you. To think that you managed to coordinate that well during the time I left your side."

One of the three leading women shouted, "General S.L.U.T., we are here to aid you!"

Andrea interrupted, "Nonono, what coordination? What help!? When did her Fan club become this big!? And why are they here!? Worse, why are they all in the half-step of the Mental Nourishing realm!? I can even feel three of them in the Unification Realm!"

Evelyn looked up at the tall Andrea and said with a wise tone. "The power of Yasenia's tits is something you can't understand, Andrea."

Andrea didn't know what to say when Evelyn spoke so seriously about something so absurd.

The Dragon Princess woke up from her stupor and asked with a blush, "That naked beast-human was Yasenia?"

Evelyn was somewhat surprised, "You actually saw the photo from there? I thought you couldn't see it."

The Dragon Princess nodded with a wagging tail, "She is very attractive. As expected of Aunty Tatyana's daughter. She will do a perfect mate for me, Laurina!"

Cecile's face fell and commanded. "You two, stop with your stupidity. Can't you think about where we are now? Focus on the situation at hand!"

Evelyn and Laurina were stunned at her heavy tone, but looking at her icy blue eyes, they instinctually nodded. Cecile had this charisma that made her very assertive when speaking.

The man beside Laurina, the one with black and white heterochromatic eyes, said. "Let's return to our group, junior sister. All the sides have already formed their formations."

Laurina frowned and said, "And leave Yasenia's mates unprotected? Did you already forget about what our seniors told us? We should protect them, tell them to come over here."

He sneered and talked back, "I don't care about babysitting that woman, but if you think I will lower myself to take care of these fucktoys, I refuse. Why should I protect replaceable merchandise?"

Cecile's and the other's eyes instantly cooled down, and even Evelyn lost her playfulness.

If they knew about something their dear dragoness hated, it was people treating them as extras.

The effort Yasenia always put into strengthening them so they could keep up with her was something that didn't go unnoticed. Calling them irrelevant was the same as spitting in Yasenia's efforts to make them who they currently were.

Laurina, of course, didn't agree with that way of putting it. She frowned and was about to reprimand. However, Andrea spoke flatly, interrupting whatever the dragon princess was about to say. "Go. We don't need your help. Any one of us is as strong as you two; some of us are even stronger. Therefore, having weaker people protecting us is quite redundant. Furthermore, the moment Yasenia reunites with us, the small danger we currently are in will disappear."

The man laughed mockingly and said, "Do you think that supposed "Miracle Child" is strong enough to fight all the cultivators gathered here? You are delusional! She is just a rare breed that gathered the seniors' attention. A twenty-year-old child can't become that strong no matter how talented she is."

Angel answered coldly, "Alone; she may be unable to. But with our help, she is invincible!"

The man looked at Angel and frowned, "You... Are you a human? Why do I feel a threat from you."

Angel snorted and looked sideways, "I won't tell you, bad person." Then, she waved her hand, and before anyone could react, a blunt object hit the man's chest.

*BANG!*

Although it didn't hurt him, his body was thrown for hundreds of meters until he smashed inside the beast group.

Andrea and the rest felt their lips twitch, 'Can you not be so cute as you blow away with ease one of the strongest individuals here?'

Mirrory laughed aloud, "Deserved! Who does he think he is to look down on my host~."

Laurina's level of respect for Angel jumped many levels. Even she, the strongest among the juniors from the younger beast generation, wasn't confident in evading that non-lethal attack.

Right after Angel's attack, Isla arrived beside them. Her presence was hard to miss since she had five pairs of white feathered wings, and the aura around her seemed holy.

Her strength had increased in leaps and bounds and was similar to Jaxon's. She was, as a matter of course, one of the strongest people among those present.

She seemed as easygoing as before, but there was an undertone of superiority in her speech, "I've been listening for a while, but you still haven't said where is Yasenia. I don't believe she is dead, as Gerd said. Tell me where she is; I want to speak with her."

However, none of them answered. Cecile stated coldly, "You just have to wait, and she will come out."

Isla frowned at her tone. Andrea crossed her arms and said, "All of you just wait within your groups. Didn't you come here to grab that orb? Why insist on finding her? However, I warn you. That orb is Yasenia's; if you want to get it, you will become our enemy."

The Dragon Princess frowned and said, "I know you want to prove yourselves, but If any group dares attack you, I will try to protect you, so stay close to our group. Most of the beasts in our group are different from Razar. He is arrogant and conceited because of his peak-level Divine bloodline, higher than most of us. But he isn't bad at heart and is very loyal once people prove themselves."

However, unlike Laurina, Isla practically ordered. "Don't be stubborn. Come to my group so that you remain safe. Will you really-."

*Thump-Thump.*

A powerful aura washed the surroundings in the middle of Isla's speech, interrupting her.

All the cultivators felt the power behind that aura, and their faces became solemn. All eyes naturally moved in unison toward the Black Sphere where the pulse came from.
