The Beauty of Strength / Just as I'd Expect from You, Heracles!

The Mad Enhancement within him had not completely subsided. He usually hid alone in his room, trying his best to endure and suppress this impulse to avoid harming those around him.

Heracles's robust body clattered as he walked out, attracting the attention of many.

Especially since he had already grasped the giant axe in his hand, it drew everyone's attention.

"Berserker!—"

When Illya and Kuro saw Heracles all geared up and ready to leave, they rushed over. They could guess that Heracles, who rarely took out his weapons, must be heading to the battlefield.

Kuro and Illya landed on Heracles' shoulders, one on each side, like his two guardians.

The contrast between the petite and adorable little girl and the strong and brave Hercules is so striking that even Yuxian finds it very impactful.

"You... don't go..."

Heracles stopped in his tracks. He didn't want Illya and the others to fight with him; he was confident he could handle it alone.

"Don't want!"

Illya and Kuro spoke at the same time, their tones and intonations exactly the same, as if they were talking as one person.

At that moment, the differences between them seemed to disappear.

"We want to go too! We want to go too!"

Because of this delay, Gretel and Jack caught up with them. How could they leave them behind when it was something so fun?

Without saying Gretel, Tong Yao grabbed Jack and ran over, afraid that Yuxian would leave them behind.

Little Jeanne and Abby walked over slowly, but their eyes also showed their desire to follow.

Yuxian rubbed his forehead. Now he didn't have to worry about not having enough combat power anymore, so he simply stopped dwelling on it.

He gathered everyone together and said, "Let's all go together, but let's make it clear beforehand that no one is allowed to do anything reckless. Anyone who disobeys will not be taken along next time."

"Okay!" The children readily nodded in agreement to Yuxian's request.

Originally Yuxian had enthusiastically invited Heracles to go and have some fun.

The scene suddenly shifted to a completely different style, a change so drastic that even Yuxian himself was a little taken aback.

Suddenly, he wasn't so angry anymore.

Yuxian turned to the five members of Keter were preparing to depart on the other side and said, "You guys come with us too. We'll leave the children on the airship in William and Nigolan's care."

Keter and the others did not refuse and came forward to join Yuxian.

The group set off in a grand procession, with Keter and the others accompanying them. They encountered no obstacles along the way, and some even offered to lead the way.

On the airship, Ishtar was still sulking, muttering to herself incessantly.

Scathach looked up at her and said, "Go if you want to."

"I'm not going. He doesn't expect me to help unless he begs me. No way!" Ishtar bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

She asked Scathach, "Why don't you go? Aren't you afraid he'll be in danger?"

Scathach smiled but didn't say anything.

Ishtar answered her own question, "That's right, those little guys around him are so clever, it would be strange if they could hurt him."

After saying that, she suddenly stopped worrying about it. Since it was impossible to catch up now, she felt relieved.

We waited quietly on the airship for them to return...

Section 154, Chapter Nine: The Beauty of Power

Led by military personnel, Yuxian and his group quickly arrived at the area ravaged by the Sixth Beast.

The situation on site is very bad. The plant spores of the Sixth Beast have severely damaged the place, turning it into a complete ruin.

The land is now a world of beasts, and only the floating islands are habitable places.

The floating islands float in the sky, and the 'beasts' on the ground cannot threaten them.

Except for the Sixth Beast.

The Sixth Beast, also known as Timere, Sixth Beast of the Deep and Shallow Values. It is plant-like and can actively travel to the Floating Continent by releasing spores. It is also the only beast that can threaten the Floating Continent cluster. It can regenerate from its killed host body hundreds of times.

It can be said that all the beasts combined are not as threatening as the Sixth Beast to the races living on the Floating Continent.

The creature on Island 15 is not the Sixth Beast's true form; its true form remains on the ground.

This time, the attack on Island 15 was caused by spores that were blown to the floating island by the wind.

"Ugh, this thing is so ugly! It's disgusting how it twists and turns!"

Gretel would speak her mind directly, without keeping anything to herself.

Abby was a little down after hearing this, as her attack style was somewhat similar to that of the Sixth Beast in front of her.

Abby herself didn't like her way of attacking, so she didn't blame Gretel, but she still felt a little sad.

Upon seeing the Sixth Beast, Keter and the others immediately picked up their weapons and prepared for battle.

They were used to fighting with 'beasts', so when a 'beast' appeared before them, they naturally wanted to kill it.

Yuxian reached out to stop them and said, "You guys just watch from the side. You don't need to lift a finger this time."

Keter and the others looked at Yuxian, not understanding what he meant. Wasn't dealing with the 'beasts' always their mission?

"Heracles, please!"

"Roar!--"

Without hesitation, Heracles grabbed his great axe and charged forward.

His footsteps were very heavy, making a clanging and thumping sound as he ran.

The vines of the Sixth Beast would occasionally reach out to block him, forcing Heracles to slow down and use his great axe to clear away the annoying vines.

"Berserker, I'm here to help you!"

Seeing this, Illya flew into the air and used her Ruby Wand to support Heracles.

"Me too!"

Not to be outdone, Kuro took out her bow and arrow to provide support. Her shooting skills were inherited from Red A's archery level, and her accuracy was quite high.

With the support of Illya and Kuro, Heracles began to slowly approach the Sixth Beast.

It has to be said that dealing with this type of enemy is not his forte; it feels like trying to use a big axe to whittle a toothpick, which is particularly awkward.

When Keter and the others saw Heracles charging forward so bravely, they looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

It feels like my long-held beliefs have been overturned.

It must be said that Heracles' fighting stance is indeed very attractive.

There is a violent beauty to it.

As expected of Hercules, his interpretation of strength can be said to have reached the ultimate level.

Gretel looked around at Yuxian, then secretly slipped out of his line of sight, wanting to summon the Jabberwocky to play with.

Yuxian kept his eyes fixed on Heracles, but he reached behind him with his right hand, grabbed Tong Gretel by the collar, pulled her to his side, and held her down to prevent her from making any small movements.

There are still many people watching here. The Jabberwocky is too conspicuous. Once that thing comes out, this place will be completely finished. Maybe even the entire Island 15 will be lost.

"Master, what are you doing! Let me go!" Gretel struggled.

Yuxian ignored her and quietly continued watching Heracles harvest.

I'm angry!

Yuxian remained silent.

I'm really angry!

Yuxian remained silent, standing there motionless.

Gretel ran out of tricks, so she started acting cute, hoping to get away with it.

"Master is the best! Just let the Jabberwocky come out and play for a while! I haven't seen it in so long, I miss it so much!"

Yuxian softened a little and loosened the pressure on Gretel's hand slightly.

Gretel immediately sensed it, her eyes lit up, and she began to increase the intensity.

"My dearest Master, Alice will definitely listen to you very, very, very much from now on. Let the Jabberwocky come out and play this time!"

Yuxian released Gretel's hand, sighed, and looked at Gretel with gentle eyes.

Upon seeing Yuxian's situation, Gretel was immediately in a good mood, and she couldn't hide the smile on her face.

She opened her big, adorable eyes wide, as if they could speak, and looked at Yuxian with watery eyes, waiting for him to Yuxian moment.

Yuxian reached out and ruffled her hair, saying softly, "No."

Ha?

Gretel shook her head vigorously a few times, wondering if she was hallucinating.

Master just said 'okay', right?

It's definitely 'possible', right?

She looked at Yuxian expectantly again, only to find Yuxian smiling at her and gently shaking his head.

"Ah!--"

Gretel started screaming in frustration.

She turned away from Yuxian, walked a distance away, found a seat, and went off to sulk.

"Master, you big bad guy!" "Master, you big liar!"

Gretel muttered to herself in the distance, venting her dissatisfaction.

Mash couldn't stand it anymore and scolded, "Senior, don't bully Alice. She'll be very sad if you do that."

Yuxian didn't believe that Gretel would be sad about something like this; he knew Gretel much better than Mash.

This little one's sensitivity isn't about these kinds of things at all; what really makes her sad is not having anyone to joke around with.

Yuxian wasn't worried about Gretel at all.

If it were someone as sentimental as Abby, she probably wouldn't be able to joke like that, but Gretel, the queen of mischief, is definitely not someone who would be saddened by a mere little setback.

Believe it Yuxian calls her now and agrees to her request, she'll come running back without a second thought.

Yuxian Xian's situation, Heracles, who was engaged in battle on the other side, was already very close to the Sixth Beast.

With just a few more steps forward, his great axe could bring the Sixth Beast into attack range.

Illya and Kuro's support also accelerated the process to some extent. Both of them worked very hard, putting all their effort into removing the annoying vines that were interfering with Heracles.

Yuxian's attention immediately focused, and he moved his right hand, wanting to use Command Spells to support Heracles.

After thinking about it, he ultimately decided not to use the Command Spells and lowered his arm again.

With Heracles's fighting power, dealing with the Sixth Beast in front of him was already more than enough. If he were to use Command Spells to enhance it, Yuxian was afraid that he would sink the entire Island 15...

Chapter 10, Section 155: As expected of Heracles!

Heracles' Noble Phantasm Nine Lives, Nine Lives, is the materialization of the arrow he once used to kill the Hydra.

As a widely celebrated hero, Heracles was skilled with a variety of weapons, far beyond just the bow and arrow.

His Noble Phantasm, "Nine Lives," is less a weapon and more a style of martial arts.

At this moment, Heracles is wielding a giant axe, so he will use a fighting style suitable for the giant axe.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Heracles finally arrived before the Sixth Beast.
