The Toad King, who had been outside enjoying massages from several female Magic Beasts, received some terrible news.
A Lightning Lizard came racing over.
It reported, "That newcomer's battle beast has already emerged from the Spirit Beast Hall."
The moment the Toad King heard this, he flew into a rage. "Damn it! More than a dozen bastards who bragged about being the best killers in Beast Valley, with every advantage of time and terrain on their side, yet they couldn't even kill one tiny little thing! Useless trash, every last one of them is useless trash! I knew I couldn't trust that bunch of blowhards, yet I mercifully gave them a chance. Who would have thought they would completely betray my expectations! When those bastards come back, I'll hang every one of them from the gallows and see if they still have the face to keep bragging!"
The Lightning Lizard was sprayed full in the face with foul-smelling spit, yet he did not dare wipe it away. He merely reported weakly, "Great King, I'm afraid those men won't be coming out of the Spirit Beast Hall, because... they are all dead!"
The Toad King froze. "All dead?"
The Lightning Lizard was so frightened that he did not dare raise his head. "There should be no survivors. That little thing emerged from the Spirit Beast Hall not only with a golden token that only exists on the third floor, but she also advanced a level. If she hadn't killed more than a dozen assassins who attacked her, how could she possibly have leveled up?"
The Toad King grew even more furious, cursing repeatedly. "Damn it! Not only did those bastards fail to kill her, they became the energy for her advancement instead! Hell, is there anything more awful than this in
