The fifth Soul Skill, Heaven's Purple Light!

"Hm?" Bibi Dong murmured, then stepped forward to take a look.

The Light Giant's abdomen was indeed slightly swollen, and it stirred from time to time.

Its radiance had concealed this change earlier, so Bibi Dong had not noticed while fighting it.

In fact, Angewomon had been the one to notice. Otherwise, given Dongfang Yu's temperament, he would have already brought his sword down.

But now that he knew it was pregnant, things were different. To Dongfang Yu, killing a pregnant animal was a sin.

So he hesitated, unsure whether he should strike.

"Hehe... so what if it's pregnant? Kill it!" Bibi Dong said with a laugh, as though discussing something utterly trivial.

"Well..." Dongfang Yu froze. Taking two lives with a single strike hardly seemed right.

Angewomon snorted. "A heartless woman, just as I thought."

Faced with those desperate, pleading eyes, Dongfang Yu truly did not know whether to bring his sword down.

Now he understood. Judging by its earlier attacks, it clearly had not been timid by nature. It had been protecting its child.

That was why it had not risked attacking them even when two Soul Masters who were not particularly powerful entered its territory.

But Angewomon's handiwork had injured it somewhat, affecting its child as well.

That was why it craved light. It could use light not only to attack, but also to heal. A Soul Beast like this truly seemed blessed by the heavens.

When Dongfang Yu released his light, it sensed it and decided to take the risk.

Its instincts told it that if it could seize that light, it could stabilize its unborn child. Not only would its injuries heal, but its child might even benefit from this misfortune.

That light was simply too tempting. It had never seen light so pure.
