The Sixth Beast was like a giant, twisting vine, and Heracles was at its root.

The vine was enormous; Heracles was over two meters tall, appeared somewhat small in its presence.

But that's only now; soon, everyone will stop thinking that way.

Roar!--

A tremendous roar erupted from Heracles' throat, his entire body and muscles bulged, and Yuxian was quite envious of the solid muscles on his bare upper body.

With a roar, Heracles seemed to go mad, his long-suppressed rage being released in that moment.

Heracles was decisive, immediately unleashing his Noble Phantasm.

[Nine Lives!]

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

With each swing of Heracles's giant axe, the blows struck the Sixth Beast with devastating force.

His movements became faster and faster, and he unleashed all his power on his enemy without restraint, as if in a frenzy.

How powerful was Heracles?

Yuxian couldn't answer this question, but as a renowned Hercules, he was always associated with the legend of having immense strength.

He fought against giants, he carried the sky for Atlas, and he has always been synonymous with strength.

Yuxian even felt the entire ground and the whole island shaking. This Island 15 was suspended in mid-air, like a rootless duckweed, with nowhere to release the force.

He was genuinely worried that Heracles might destroy the entire island, which was entirely possible.

Fortunately, Yuxian did not add Command Spells to enhance him. With his current Command Spells level, if he had added them to Heracles, the island would have been doomed.

Not only Yuxian, but everyone who witnessed this scene was shocked by what they saw.

The shock they felt was far greater than that of Yuxian; those with weaker mental fortitude were already so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

"Wow! That's really amazing!" Aetheria covered her eyes with her hand, making a gesture of looking into the distance.

Compared to the others, she was more lively and cheerful, and she was able to react more quickly to such unexpected events.

Keter leaned her weapon, Cernunnos, against the ground, using it to prevent herself from being knocked over by Cernunnos shaking ground.

He said with a surprised expression, "This gentleman usually seems very quiet, but I didn't expect him to be so ferocious in a fight."

"Because he doesn't keep that power in check, the entire Fairy Warehouse has been reduced to ruins," Nephren retorted with a somewhat sarcastic tone.

Landoloch, supporting the even smaller Noft, said in a serious tone, "That's a demonstration of his powerful control over strength."

The five who had initially expected a tough battle were now watching from the sidelines, leisurely commenting on Heracles's performance in the fight.

Of course, some people present disagreed with this.

Still sulking, Gretel curled her lip and said disdainfully, "What's so great about it? Even Jabberwocky can do that."

She was still resentful that Yuxian wouldn't let her release the Jabberwocky.

Heracles's relentless attacks were felt most acutely by the Sixth Beast, his opponent.

Although the creature on Island 15 is not the Sixth Beast's true form, but merely a spore that drifted with the wind, it is still not something that ordinary people can easily deal with.

Otherwise, the military would not have asked a fairy soldier to open the 'Fairy Village Gate' to perish together with it.

But at this moment it really does look like a tree, being wantonly cut down by Heracles.

Illya and Kuro have returned to Yuxian's side. They have great confidence in Heracles and are just waiting to celebrate with him after the battle.

The battle ended quickly, and the Sixth Beast was killed without any doubt.

Heracles let out a long howl to vent his excess anger before slowly walking back, putting away his great axe.

He transformed back into that quiet, handsome man, a contrast that even Yuxian found somewhat unsettling.

All I can say is, as expected of Heracles!

The Sixth Beast on Island 15 has been killed, and what happens next is none of Yuxian's business. The reconstruction work will naturally be taken care of by someone else, and it is neither necessary nor their place to worry about it.

Yuxian led everyone back to the airship safely. He hadn't forgotten that he had promised to take everyone on a trip, and he couldn't go back on his word.

Island 15 is clearly not a suitable place to bring children right now; it's in a mess and will take a long time to recover.

As for where to go, he already had a rough idea in mind, but he still needed to discuss it with Grayrock Skin.

He didn't want to look for other means of transportation. Since there was a free airship available, he had to make the most of it.

Back at the port where the airship was located, Grayrock Skin was already waiting for them at the entrance.

He had already received news of Yuxian Xian and his group's performance in the battle. Given his high rank, he naturally had considerable authority to obtain this information first.

Grayrock Skin glanced at Heracles behind Yuxian before speaking to Yuxian, "Thank you for bringing peace to Island 15."

Yuxian waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

He acted very modestly, as if he had done something insignificant, and kept declining the offer.

Mash was about to lose his temper. He knew Yuxian, this senior, all too well. If he was still so humble at a time like this, he must have something else in mind.

Sure enough, Yuxian then said, "How about you take us to Island 11? Consider it... a reward?"

"Oh ho ho! What a coincidence! We're also heading back to Island 11, so it's on our way," Grayrock Skin said with a smile.

Yuxian then remembered that the lizard-headed creature's hometown seemed to be Island 11.

That's even better, since his goal is to take everyone to Island 11 for a few days anyway. It's a very nice city and well worth visiting.

Although Yuxian himself hoped to go to Island 2 to find Swan, the Polar Great Mage, unfortunately Island 2 did not have permission and was not accessible to ordinary people.

Chapter 11, Section 156: Beautiful scenery and delicious food are not to be missed.

The Floating Continent is made up of many islands, and each island is named with a number, with the smaller the number, the closer it is to the center.

Island 11 is very close to the center of the Floating Continent. The people here live a relatively peaceful life, and the various races get along well. It is a very prosperous city.

The city on Island 11 is more prosperous than many other cities, with a thriving business and tourism industry, making it a city well worth visiting.

Yuxian chose this city as the children's travel destination not as a casual choice, but out of genuine hope that everyone could have a good time and enjoy themselves.

After arriving at Island 11, Grayrock Skin completed his mission and bid farewell to Yuxian and his group. He had his own things to do and couldn't stay with them forever.

Apart from William, the military's enchanted artifact technician, everyone else in the group needed to find their own accommodation.

However, this is not too troublesome. After all, the Fairy Warehouse is a very important place in the entire Floating Continent. Taking a few shortcuts is still possible, and there are no problems with the finances.

Grayrock Skin had already told them this beforehand, so Yuxian and his group first found a relatively quiet place to stay and rest.

After all, we've been through a major battle, albeit a one-sided one, so a short rest is always necessary.

The children were extremely excited, chattering and making a racket, unable to stay still at all.

Yuxian knew that they wanted to visit the city as soon as possible, so after a short stay, he led everyone to visit the city's attractions.

Besides being a great tourist destination, Island 11 is also a place where the Golden Fairies adjust their bodies.

The so-called physical adjustment is to adjust their use of Magic Resistance to make them more suitable for combat.

Yuxian scoffed at this, saying that such adjustments only fully stimulated their combat attributes and did not benefit their bodies in any way.

The magic power of the Golden Fairies is inversely proportional to its life force; the greater the magic power, the smaller the life force.

Yuxian would absolutely stop this adjustment that treats them like weapons.

Amplifying their magic is essentially suppressing their vitality.

This is murder!

Keter and her group of five are fine, but the others are absolutely out of the question; they will not be used as weapons in combat.

When there are many people, it becomes especially lively and fun. If something new happens, a large group of children will shout and scream. This is a feeling that cannot be experienced by a single person.

Every time they go to a new place, it sparks enthusiastic discussions among them, with them debating and arguing about this and that, never finding a moment of peace.

Someone who prefers peace and quiet would definitely find it unbearable.

Yuxian smiled throughout, as he was quite used to this environment and found being surrounded by children to be a different kind of fun.

He took out his camera and became the children's photographer, taking pictures of them to remember the occasion.

He never refuses any request from the children, and he is always busy choosing locations and taking photos for them.

Besides sightseeing, everyone enjoys exploring local delicacies, and even adults like Yuxian are no exception.

If you don't properly savor the local specialties, then you've really wasted your trip.

There are some really good foods on Island 11, Yuxian asked the locals about them carefully.

He didn't want to miss a single spot, and once he found a location, he would lead everyone there to fight their way.

This time they had plenty of time, Yuxian decided not to miss a single place, spending several days trying all the local delicacies.

Such a leisurely life, where you can enjoy the scenery and savor delicious food at the same time, is undeniably very relaxing.

In this process, everything else can be forgotten, and the feeling of simply enjoying life is incredibly captivating.

Time has finally passed.

Having explored every corner of Island 11, it's time to go home.

Although the children were reluctant to leave, they were very well-behaved and didn't make a fuss. They were very satisfied with the trip, and it would be unreasonable for them to be greedy.

Before leaving, Yuxian said goodbye to Grayrock Skin. After all, Grayrock Skin had brought them here and provided a lot of convenience, so these basic courtesies were still necessary.

When they arrived at the port and prepared to board the airship to return to the Fairy Warehouse, several officers of the Winged Guard appeared in front of them.

They were sent by Swann to take William, his companion from 500 years ago, to Island 2.

Yuxian blinked, then, quite tactlessly, leaned closer and asked, "Can we go together?"

William looked at them as well, and he also felt that it would be best if everyone could go together.

The officers were in a dilemma; they had not received such a mission, but they could not refuse outright.

The fact that they waited at the port Yuxian finished their journey before revealing themselves, instead of going directly to William, suggests that Swan must have spoken to them about something.

"Otherwise, you could ask the Polar Great Mage." Yuxian didn't intend to make things difficult for them; he believed Swan would give a positive answer.

After the officers discussed the matter amongst themselves, one of them quickly left, presumably to report the situation.

"Please wait a moment," one of them said, greeting them.

"It's okay, take your time."

Yuxian wasn't in a hurry. Since he was already here, a little longer wouldn't make a difference.

The man quickly returned, and just as Yuxian had predicted, Swan agreed to let everyone go to Island 2 with William.

Shi Wang had no reason to refuse; Yuxian and his group were simply too special.

William was his former companion, Keter and the other four are now the most important fairy soldiers, and the children are the Golden Fairies he created.

Yuxian and his group also displayed extraordinary strength on Island 15. More importantly, Yuxian are Unconquered Seed, they are humans.

Given Yuxian's unique and complex identity, Shi Wang could not possibly refuse Yuxian's request.

When the children heard that they didn't have to go back and could play on the new island, they all jumped up and were overjoyed.

They were reminiscing about the wonderful days they had spent together when they suddenly received this news. Instantly, their minds were cleared of all thoughts, and they began to look forward to a new journey.

"Everyone, board the ship in order, don't run around!" Yuxian shouted.

"Okay!" the children answered in unison.

Led by the Winged Guard, Yuxian led the children onto the airship bound for Island 2.

This is a dedicated airship, and its interior is quite high-end. It seems that Swann still treats his old friend William quite well.

This is a good opportunity for Yuxian to also benefit and enjoy himself.
