Seven Deadly Sins System-Chapter 251: Three-Tails’ Desperation

The Ferocious Ant King stared silently at the blood that was flowing out of Three-Tails' lips and immediately understood what was going on.

In fact, Three-Tails' current condition was not a result of his own attack but a result of the large number of injuries that she had previously accumulated, while his attack was merely the catalyst for these injuries to break out.

Knowing this, although the Ferocious Ant King understood that this was his opportunity to wipe out Three-Tails once and for all, he had no plan of taking action.

His pride made him disdain taking advantage of other people's weakness, preferring to suppress them through virtue of his own strength, while at the same time, he was currently focused on another target:

The unknown mastermind behind the changes of the Fox Tribe.

Thinking of this, the Ferocious Ant King didn't attack Three-Tails but opened his mouth to speak:

"Get out of the way! I didn't come to deal with you today.", he said and waved his hand, wanting to push Three-Tails away.

Only the image of the palace below remained in the Ferocious Ant King's eyes, or to be more accurate, the image of the supposed mastermind who he suspected lived there.

Feeling the powerful force that was acting on her body and trying to push her away, Three-Tails had to use her full strength in order to resolve it and break free.

In fact, even though the Ferocious Ant King was stronger than her and the other Kings, he was not so strong that he could easily suppress her.

The reason why things seemed that way was because of her previous injuries, which had severely affected her and made her unable to bring out her full combat power.

Thinking of the cause of these injuries, Three-Tails subconsciously turned her head and stared at the palace, hoping that her new "boss" would choose to take action.

Unfortunately, from the arrival of the Ferocious Ant King to now, that person had not made any move as if she didn't care about what happened.

Seeing this, Three-Tails couldn't help but smile bitterly, blaming herself for not being decisive enough and strengthening the bond between Chu Wuyao and the Fox Tribe.

Of course, she knew that now was not the time to ponder about this as she had way more important things to deal with.

Urging her power, Three-Tails broke free from the force that was acting in her body and turned to look at the Ferocious Ant King, as the aura of her body surged.

The next moment, she "stepped" on the air and teleported in front of the Ferocious Ant King, before she swung her paws forward, attacking him with all her strength.

"Bang! Bang!"

The sound of continuous collisions spread throughout the Fox Tribe, but to the Tailed Foxes' dismay, the attacks of their Queen were completely ineffective in the face of that strange invader.

Although the Fox Queen's speed was extremely fast and even Level 3 Monsters would have trouble keeping up with her, every time she flashed to the Ferocious Ant King's side and attacked, the Ferocious Ant King would easily defend, waving his four hands and using his hard carapace to resolve the incoming attacks.

"Your struggle is meaningless! Your struggle only makes your injuries more severe! Give up!", the Ferocious Ant King's confident voice echoed in everyone's ears, making the Tailed Foxes who originally believed that the Fox Queen would easily kill the invader become stunned.

"Impossible! How could the Queen fail to deal with that invader?!", one of the Tailed Foxes stared at the battle in the sky with wide eyes, wondering whether it had fallen into the enemy's illusion.

Unfortunately, the two powerful auras that were raging in the sky and brought it an oppressive feeling, coupled with the pieces of debris that flew everywhere and hit its body, made it abundantly clear that it was not dreaming and the scene in front of it was indeed real.

"How? How could this happen?", this Tailed Fox couldn't help but mutter in a low voice and its trembling body fell to the ground, while its eyes became red and tears began flowing out.

The actions of this Tailed Fox were not an isolated incident as similar scenes started taking place all over the Fox Tribe, with many Tailed Foxes unwilling to believe that what they were watching was real.

For these Tailed Foxes, the Fox Queen was not only their leader but also their spiritual pillar, akin to their God.

As such, when they saw an unknown invader suppress their Queen with ease, their mentality couldn't help but crumble, as if they had personally witnessed the defeat of the God they believed in.

Only a few of the powerful elders of the Fox Tribe, whose will was firm and who had experienced many things, were able to look at the current situation with a relatively stable mind, going through their minds to think of a solution to the tribe's predicament.

No! Surprisingly, apart from these few elders, there was also another group of Tailed Foxes that managed to remain calm.

Unlike the elders, this group of foxes was not very strong, with most of them having just reached the threshold of Low-Grade Level 1 Monster, being equivalent to cultivators who had just started practicing.

Yet, these Tailed Foxes, who should have crumbled under the pressure, were part of the few Tailed Foxes that had not gone crazy.

Inside a large building located at the border of the Fox Tribe that resembled a chapel, more than a dozen Tailed Foxes had gathered around a stone statue and were staring at it with reverence and admiration in their eyes.

Their expressions were pious while their heads were slightly lowered and their paws were folded in front of them, while they muttered some weird, inexplicable words in a low voice.

"Messenger, please descend to this world and help the Fox Tribe deal with that damn invaded!"

"Lord Gem Beast, punish this heretic!

"Lord Gem Beast, please..."

The voices of the Tailed Foxes were fairly low but they seemed to overlap with each other, resounding throughout the building and even spreading beyond it.

At the same time, a few pieces of light that were invisible to the Tailed Foxes flew out of their bodies and rushed towards the stone statue at the center, before merging into it and being transferred away.

If Chu Wuyao was here, she would immediately realize that these lights were not anything else but these Tailed Foxes' faith.

****

On the other side, Three-Tails didn't know what was happening in the Fox Tribe, and even if she knew it, there was nothing she could do about it.

Right now, her entire attention was on dealing with the Ferocious Ant King, as she constantly launched desperate attacks, wanting to force him to retreat.

Unfortunately, the attacks she made squeezing every last bit of her potential were meaningless in front of the Ferocious Ant King's power and he was able to neutralize them with extreme ease.

Throughout this whole process, a calm expression remained on his face, making it clear everything was under his control.

"Give up! It's impossible for you to match me with your current state.", the Ferocious Ant King stared in a matter-of-fact tone, wanting Three-Tails to give up her meaningless struggle.

Unfortunately, when his good-intentioned words fell on Three-Tails' ears, they seemed nothing more than provocation, causing her attacks to become even more desperate.

Seeing that no matter what he said, Three-Tails would not give up, the Ferocious Ant King couldn't help but become a little angry.

Although his mind was a little different from other monsters and he was not willing to take advantage of other people's weakness, this didn't mean that he was easy to talk to nor did it mean that he was willing to suffer.

After all, he was still a monster, and as such, quite irritable.

Now, seeing that Three-Tails not only did not heed his advice but instead, her attacks became even more ruthless, it was hard for him to suppress his anger.

"Okay, since you want to die, then I'll accompany you.", the Ferocious Ant King said angrily, and for the first time since the fight began, he actually stopped defending and took the initiative to attack.

Under his control, each of his four hands turned into a fist, before he punched forward.

"Bang!"

The first punch met Three-Tails' paw in the air, and not only did it neutralize her attack, but it also caused her body to become slightly unstable.

"Bang!"

The second punch bypassed Three-Tails' defense and landed on her abdomen, causing her aura to fluctuate and her body to be knocked back.

"Bang!"

The third punch immediately followed, forcing Three-Tails to cough a mouthful of blood.

"Swoosh!"

The fourth punch pierced through the air, this time not targeting Three-Tails' abdomen, but her head.

Moreover, this punch was many times stronger than the previous ones, as if it contained the entire momentum that the Ferocious Ant King had accumulated since the fight first began.

Facing this punch, Three-Tails twisted her body and tried to dodge, but she discovered that she was unable to move even half an inch as if the space around her had been sealed.

"Will I die here?", Three-Tails couldn't help but doubt, feeling for the first time in her life that death was extremely close.

"Perhaps dying is a good thing. I can at least be free again.", she thought, but was also quite sad, fearing for the fate of the Fox Tribe.

From the very start, the reason why Three-Tails chose to sign the Devil Contract and become Chu Wuyao's subordinate was not because she feared death, but because she understood that her death would lead to the destruction of the Fox Tribe.

This was true if she were to die at Chu Wuyao's hands and was also true if she were to die at the hands of the Ferocious Ant King.

"Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do...", Three-Tails whispered, and facing the incoming attack, she closed her eyes, waiting for her death to arrive.

"Bang!"
