How awkward, shocking, and helpless it must have been for someone who didn't know how to step down.
Lilly continued to swing the branch in her hand as she asked kindly, "Do you need help getting up?" Rory lay on the ground without responding for a long time, his shoulders trembling as if he were crying.
Lilly suddenly felt a bit guilty and stepped forward with an apologetic expression.
"Are you okay? Don't cry. | can go easy on you later, or | can let my pet fight you instead.” Rory raised his head in anger. "Shut up!" He wasn't crying! He was angry! Lilly nodded before stepping back to her original position. She said kindly, "Actually, your soul summoning just now wasn't very good. You didn't summon the Black Tortoise beast soul at all. You just summoned a bit of the beast soul's residual power... You know that, don't you?" Rory's back teeth were grinding, and he sneered. "What do you know? | summoned the Black Tortoise beast soul! It's just that the mythical creature beast soul hasn't fully returned yet..." Lilly shook her head. "No. It's not. Trust me." He was about to be angered to the point of vomiting blood. He gritted his teeth as he said, "You sound so confident. Can you summon the Black Tortoise?" The loyal elders behind Rory quickly defended him. "Exactly! You're just a little girl who doesn't understand anything. Stop talking nonsense!" "You admit that you can't summon it either. It's not your field, yet you're still showing off!" "We tomb keepers suffered a backlash from the beast soul and were unable to fully control it... You just took advantage of that.
Do you really think you defeated us tomb keepers?" "That's right! We tomb keepers were able to summon the terrifying Black Tortoise beast soul. It's already a rare talent in ages!" Lilly thought, I've seen stubborn people, but never this stubborn.

Lilly said, "Give them a scare!" The small ghost beast roared with its fierce face.
The descendants of the witch clan were puzzled.
Was she here to make a joke? The next moment, a huge totem lit up behind the small ghost beast, and the four great mythical creatures of ancient times roared. They had all appeared! The Black Tortoise stepped on a human skull, and its eyes burst with sharp light as it stared directly at Rory! It let out a low roar from its throat, and at that moment, the pressure rolled over. Rory's knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground! The descendants of the witch clan also felt weak at their knees as they all prostrated on the ground in panic while shouting, "The Black Tortoise... It's really the Black Tortoise!" Not only the Black Tortoise beast soul, but also the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird beast souls were all there...
Rory's face turned pale. How could this be... How could this be?! How could the Black Tortoise beast soul be with her? To be precise, it was with her pet! In other words, he couldn't even beat her pet! At this moment, Rory's faith collapsed. He had thought he was very awesome and was respected by everyone in the Nether.
Although he couldn't defeat those powerful and hidden spirit beasts, it was only because he followed the rules of the Nether and maintained a non-aggression pact with them.
He even thought he was the new Emperor Greenbow! B-But he was just a joke! He had never realized so vividly before just how useless he was.
Tomb keeper? Master of the Nether? Rory finally realized that he was just a very small part of the Nether! He ran away in disgrace in an instant! Lilly was speechless.
So, he ran away when he couldn't win...
Fortune gazed at the tomb keeper as he retreated, feeling a sense of despair and desolation. Unable to contain himself, he asked, "Lilly, will the tomb keeper lose hope and never be able to rise again?" The neutral descendants of the witch clan standing outside the cave also felt pity. Their hearts ached, and they even thought that Lilly was too harsh...
It was not right to strike someone in the face, but wasn't it too cruel to destroy someone's path like this? However, they had forgotten that it was Rory who initially wanted to kill Lilly.
They were unaware that the tomb keeper they respected had malicious intentions and wanted to kill Lilly not to protect the Nether, but to seize the perfect Order within her and eliminate her to validate his own path! Lilly smiled faintly as she looked at Rolando and said, "Remember... The path to becoming stronger is filled with numerous obstacles. If he cannot overcome this challenge, it means his conviction is not strong enough. Even if | don't defeat him today, someone else will do it tomorrow." "So, what should we do? Should we all be cautious around him and treat him delicately because he is fragile?" Lilly scoffed. Everyone was attempting to kill her to validate their own paths, yet she was expected to sympathize with him and consider whether he was pitiable or not.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe fact that she spared his life was already a favor, especially considering Lisa was also a descendant of the witch clan! "Let's go!" Lilly patted Squeaky and casually discarded the branch.
Ivan had already tidied up. He stood up and said, "Alright." Lilly waved at Fortune, Lucky, and Logan. The spatial order shimmered, and in an instant, Lilly and Ivan disappeared.
Fortune stared blankly at the empty space before him. The cave that had once seemed small now felt vast and empty.
He picked up the branch that Lilly had casually thrown on the ground and held it tightly in his hand.
The tomb guardian, who had once appeared so formidable in his eyes, had now become a mere stone beneath his feet. A renewed conviction surged within his heart...
He desired to become stronger. He aspired to be as powerful as Lilly! "Will we see Lilly again?" Rolando looked up and asked the elder.
Logan smiled before firmly stating, "We will." He knew that her departure meant she was returning, but he inexplicably believed that they would cross paths once more.
