Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Mythical Beast ’Yazi’, Hear This Roar!

Chapter 130: Mythical Beast ’Yazi’, Hear This Roar!

“Lord Hitsujii, I… I don’t know how to thank you!”

In the joyous cave, the survivors knelt and bowed to Hitsujii in gratitude.

They didn’t know what the ’Water of Life’ Hitsujii sprinkled was.

But they knew something capable of regrowing severed limbs must be precious beyond imagination.

Facing their thanks, Hitsujii waved his hand. “Oh my, it’s just trivial medical skill.”

He said softly.

“Besides, as I said, aside from finding Kori for a colleague, I have my own purpose on this island.”

“If you don’t mind, perhaps you could help me with a small favor later.”

Hearing this, the survivors were stunned.

Then…

“Of course, no problem!”

“Whatever orders you have, Lord Hitsujii, I, Hatta, will fulfill them!”

“Even if it costs me my life, my Lord!”

Hitsujii chuckled. “It won’t cost your lives…”

Puru Puru Puru.

Puru Puru Puru.

Just then, Issho, watching with a smile, heard a sound from his sleeve.

He took out a special Den Den Mushi equipped with a small gas mask, frowned, and picked up.

“Hello.”

“Hey, Captain Issho.”

A sloppy voice came from the other end. “You’ve been patrolling long enough—the Kingdom’s inspection fleet is here. Come welcome them quickly… This time, the Second Prince is leading the fleet personally. He wants to take photos of the ’vermin’ on Plague Island for some World Nobles.”

It seemed to be Issho’s subordinate.

But from the tone, there was no respect for Issho.

“…Understood.”

Issho answered calmly and hung up.

“Of all days…”

He whispered.

Hitsujii and the survivors roughly understood the situation.

Clearly—although Issho sympathized with the survivors on Plague Island.

Most of the ’Addi Kingdom’ guards stationed here didn’t share his sentiment.

They naturally didn’t get along with Issho and had long since sidelined him.

Of course, this ’sidelining’ was what they assumed—Issho didn’t want to be with them either.

Every month on this day, he found excuses to sneak supplies to the survivors—with his ability and status as Guard Captain, it wasn’t hard.

But today was different.

The Second Prince of Addi Kingdom led a fleet for inspection, and his intention to photograph ’vermin’ referred to the survivors.

“Fine.”

Issho seemed to make up his mind.

He looked up at the people in the cave. “Since everyone is healed, this old man will go destroy that fleet and take you away.”

“Please wait a moment.”

He said calmly.

Yes.

For Issho, promises and honor were important—that’s why he agreed to serve as the Addi Kingdom’s Guard Captain.

But they weren’t the most important.

Most important… was Conscience!

Since the survivors were healed, even if he had to break his promise and status to sink the Addi fleet in exchange for their freedom, he wouldn’t hesitate.

Saying so, he stood up to leave.

But just then…

“Mr. Issho, please wait.”

Hitsujii stopped him.

“I feel there is someone more suitable to act than you right now, Mr. Issho.”

He said.

“After all—revenge must be taken personally to be satisfying.”

“Hm?”

Issho paused. “What do you mean, Lord Hitsujii?”

He looked at Hitsujii suspiciously—personal revenge? This lord didn’t seem to have a grudge against the Addi Kingdom.

If anyone here truly had a grudge against the Addi Kingdom…

“Could it be…”

Issho looked at the other survivors in the cave.

Hitsujii didn’t speak further to Issho.

He walked to the center of the cave and looked at the survivors. “Everyone… I said earlier that the payment for this treatment is a small favor from you.”

“Now, I want to ask—do you harbor hatred toward the Addi Kingdom?”

He spread his hands.

These words were like a spark falling into a haystack.

A brief, suffocating silence enveloped the cave.

The survivors were silent—but something hot and deep surged in their eyes.

As mentioned before.

Sent here, they were either slaves of Celestial Dragons or victims of World Government affiliated nations.

In the long past, they struggled just to survive on this toxic island.

Just living was hard enough.

But now, Hitsujii’s words reminded them of memories they tried not to recall.

Whipping, humiliation, tragic deaths of family and friends—who here hadn’t experienced these?

Those memories weren’t forgotten, just suppressed.

Knowing their powerlessness, they didn’t think about it.

Because survival was hard enough, they didn’t dwell on it.

But, as Hitsujii told Issho—closing one’s eyes doesn’t make things disappear.

Similarly…

Suppressed things were never truly forgotten.

Hitsujii asked again, “Do you… want revenge?”

“…”

Before him, only pairs of crimson eyes—even Kori, who hadn’t been here long, was the same.

Silence in the cave.

But the answer was deafening.

“Excellent.”

Under the mask, Hitsujii seemed to grin. “Then… please do not resist.”

As he spoke, his form changed again.

Strange Flame Clouds and scales appeared on him.

But unlike before, this time… his entire body changed.

Slender tail, white scales, blue-white Flame Clouds, and twin horns on his head.

In moments, he transformed into a ’Qilin’ (Kirin).

But this Qilin was fundamentally different from Kiringolm.

On its scales, countless blue and gold patterns were constantly drawn.

At this moment, wisps of golden threads seemed to flow from the survivors toward him.

The survivors felt something being drawn from them.

Their vitality, energy, and the anger and hatred swirling in their hearts.

Next…

VMMM!

From the survivors, the golden threads turned into mist and flew out of the cave.

It rose and churned, gradually turning crimson and pitch-black.

The next moment, anger and hatred descended into reality.

It was a massive creature not belonging to reality.

Dark red and gold patterns flowed on its body. It had the body of a wolf and the head of a dragon, with a single horn.

In its mouth, it held a precious sword.

Its size was as massive as a small mountain. Its crimson horn and eyes… looked into the distance.

Then…

BOOM!

Its massive body flew out, sword in mouth, heading toward the distant sea.

Seeing this, the survivors almost collapsed in fear.

“That is… wha…”

Kori covered her mouth, staring incredulously at the behemoth derived from them.

Only Issho widened his eyes, looking at Hitsujii.

He realized the form and ability Hitsujii displayed were undoubtedly those of a ’Mythical Zoan’.

And it was true.

In Hitsujii’s calm gaze, the equipped fruit was visible.

Yes—he hadn’t thought the Qilin Fruit and Vitality Fruit could fuse.

But thinking about it, the Qilin Fruit’s dream creation required extracting the dreamer’s vitality and mental energy, perfectly matching the Vitality Fruit.

The fused effect was extremely powerful.

He could create dream creatures and modify them at will using vitality.

Most importantly, the dream creatures could exist continuously by replenishing vitality.

This was why Hitsujii called himself ’Legion Commander’.

Looking at the giant beast flying toward the sea, he smiled and asked, “Mr. Issho, have you heard of the Mythical Beast ’Yazi’?”

“Mythical Beast?”

Issho, still dazed, paused.

“Yes—said to have a jackal body and dragon head, fierce temperament, repaying kindness…”

Hitsujii’s voice turned low and cold. “And repaying grievances.”

[The Zodiac · Dream Legion · Yazi]

Without waiting for Issho’s answer, he raised his hand.

“Please listen.”

“What is that? Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder!”

On the distant sea, aboard the flagship of the Addi Kingdom’s inspection fleet.

The rat-faced Second Prince ’Addi Garu’ was whipping his adjutant frantically.

“Faster, you trash—or I’ll sell your wife and daughter as slaves and hang you at the city gate!”

The adjutant ignored the pain, ordering soldiers to turn the ship.

Through the telescope, he saw it.

The massive thing holding a sword had destroyed the guard station on Plague Island and was flying toward them.

From start to finish, the guards didn’t last two minutes. The monster wasn’t injured—didn’t even lose a hair.

The adjutant saw a cannonball pierce its body, but it healed instantly.

“Damn it! Damn it!”

But clearly—with the Addi soldiers’ lack of discipline and habit of bullying the weak, their efficiency in danger was predictable.

Instead of turning, the ship stopped in place.

But ’Addi Garu’ had no time to curse his adjutant.

Because he could almost hear the massive sound of the giant monster flying.

BOOM!

Maybe the sound of other ships firing cannons.

BOOM!

Maybe the sound of waves churned by the behemoth.

Or perhaps…

“ROAR!”

The roar of revenge, filled with joy and anger!

CRASH!

The next moment, the giant monster named ’Yazi’, sword in mouth, sliced the flagship in two.

Flames erupted, smoke rose.

Resounding over the sea was what Hitsujii said.

Please listen.

“Hear this roar.”
