Could... could they actually be here to steal my treasure?
At that thought, the Tiger King's killing intent surged uncontrollably!
The Tiger King was truly enraged. Ever since he had discovered the Heavenly Tiger Moonlight Paste by chance, he had guarded this place for three thousand seven hundred years!
He had endured all this hardship solely to swallow it in one gulp when it matured and advance an entire stage at a stroke!
And now, these damned humans actually wanted to ruin it!
If he could tolerate this, what couldn't he tolerate?!
Unmatched ferocity spilled from the Tiger King's eyes. His massive tail, roughly two meters in diameter, swept back and forth. On either side of his body, his wings slowly rose, their rows of ten-meter-long swords flashing with dazzling edges and soul-seizing, icy light.
Whoever you are, don't even dream of snatching this Heavenly Tiger Moonlight Paste from my jaws!
Once I swallow this Heavenly Tiger Moonlight Paste, I can awaken my Sky Tiger Bloodline, push my strength beyond its limits, and reach the legendary level of a greater demon!
As my bloodline awakens, the Sky Tiger Inheritance will open to me as well!
Alas, I never had the fortune to live through those glorious days when the Demon Race alone ruled the world!
They say that back then, the entire Heavenly Court was founded by our Demon Race...
Those glorious years... those badass ancestors of ours.
Where exactly did you take the Demon Alliance Continent?
Do you know how hard life is on this continent for us, your descendants...?
Lost in imaginings and deep thought, the Tiger King welled with melancholy, yearning all the more to return to his ancestors' embrace, to the protection of the mighty figures of the Demon Race...
*What days those would be for
