Chapter 247: Radiance

Hathaway was about to increase the power of her skill but the unique appearance of the Twin-headed White Jade Snake had attracted her attention.

The red and white snake’s eyes were filled with killing intent. It was very similar to the legendary mythical Battle Beast of the Heavenly City’s hero!

Hathaway, who was originally full of confidence, slightly wrinkled her beautiful eyes…

“Could it be that this guy is the one who massacred the evils of Wind City, the one who has three divine rank Battle Beasts, and the legendary dragon-type Battle Beast, Locke?”

Beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead!

“You… You’re Locke?” Hathaway asked.

Locke shrugged, tacitly agreeing.

“Oh my god! Why is it him?!” Hathaway’s heart could not help but tremble.

The other party’s identity meant that she had no chance of winning!

“Why aren’t you willing to rule Water City with me?”

“Boring, what’s the point? I’ve been thinking about what you and Belinda said earlier and I still think that human freedom is more important. Making a bunch of zombies submit to me is too boring.” Locke was still smiling at her.

However, these words made Hathaway even more terrified and angry!

This was because the skill earlier was her strongest ability as a Battle Beast and the opponent had dodged it just by thinking about it?

Hathaway, who had been stubborn since she was young, could not accept such an insult, even if it was someone stronger than her!

“Don’t think that I’m afraid of you! I’ll kill you even if I have to!” She roared and the mana in her body began to explode!

Under the influence of its master’s emotions, Peacock King repeatedly cried out! Its voice was full of anger!

In contrast, Locke was very relaxed and did not put the opponent in his eyes at all. After yawning, he said, “It seems that you’re a person who adheres to the principle of a strong person winning. Since that’s the case, then feel it… Feel what a strong person should be like!”

“Shut up!” Having been provoked, Hathaway’s face revealed great anger!

Peacock King had flown into the air and started accumulating power!

It felt that its master had poured most of her mana into it!

After receiving the command, the skill Radiance had entered the charging stage!

What followed was a strength that had never appeared before!

“Locke! I won’t allow you to leave! You must stay here with me forever in the form of ashes!” As she had used too much mana, the mana core in her body was about to dry up. Her body was also unable to withstand it and one of her nostrils was already bleeding.

However, Hathaway did not care at all! As long as she could defeat Locke, her strength would be further proven and it would be more advantageous for her future rule!

Hathaway’s reputation could also spread to several large cities! Now, it was time to stake everything in hand!

The tail of the Battle Beast, Peacock King had been absorbing the light energy of the Sun. Due to the absorption of the energy, the sunlight had become dimmer!

Nearly three minutes later, Peacock King let out a cry!

It could no longer withstand more light energy and mana. Dozens of “feathers” on its mirror-like tail began to flicker!

“Boom!”

A thick golden beam of energy shot out in the direction where Locke was standing!

It covered the entire width of the city gate!

“Let’s see how you can dodge this time!” Hathaway had used up too much energy. Her eyes began to blur and her legs began to tremble.

“Rumble…”

A loud sound filled the air with sand and gravel!

The strong wind broke all the trees in the surrounding woods!

The stone wall in front of the city gate was also shattered!

“Clang… Clang… Clang…”

“Hahahaha! Locke! This is my strength!” This was the strongest skill that Hathaway had ever used in her life! She was very confident in defeating Locke!

The smoke and dust gradually dispersed. She focused her energy and used her blurry eyes to look for Locke’s figure. She did not even notice that he was shattered and flew toward the stone wall.

Even if she had noticed it, it was useless because she no longer had the strength to dodge.

“I told you… It takes too long to accumulate power…”

A masculine voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

“Bang!”

When the boulder shattered, Hathaway had already been brought to a safe place by Locke and the Twin-headed White Jade Snake!

She looked at the man who was hugging her, her eyes glistening.

“Why, why did you ruin my plan! Why did you lie to me! Sob, sob, sob…”

At this moment, Hathaway’s cries were even more exaggerated than Belinda’s previous appearance.

She had completely transformed into the appearance of a little girl, curled up in Locke’s embrace.

Her hand was still beating weakly on the other party’s thick chest.

“If you want to rule Water City, then do it openly! Why do you have to pretend to be a secretary? Why do you have to manipulate people to vote? Why do you have to build a high wall? Isn’t it good to be upright and take what you want like a strong person?”

After coming to the tree, Locke said these words and wanted to place her next to the unconscious Belinda.

However, Hathaway grabbed tightly onto his clothes and refused to let go. Like a wronged little girl, she cried out, “I… I’m just a woman. Just relying on an epic rank Battle Beast isn’t enough to convince the masses! Until now, there hasn’t been a female governor in the continent. If I don’t do this, I won’t have a chance…”

After sighing, Locke said helplessly, “Never appeared? Can’t you do it? Do you know how many ‘never seen’ tags I have on me?

“Before I appeared, they had never seen anyone who could own three divine rank Battle Beasts! And dragons! This is the first time they’ve seen them in hundreds of years!

“I was also criticized and hated by others, but now? Am I not fine? I took what I wanted openly! I’m free to live! I killed to my heart’s content! I don’t have any psychological burden!”

Locke was not a person who liked to preach but the current appearance of this woman was really too tempting to love!

It really made people’s hearts ache so much that they could not bear to blame her!

Thinking about it carefully, it had been quite difficult for her for many years.

It was really not easy for a woman to achieve what Hathaway had today, but it was a pity that she was still unable to recognize the truth of this world!

A true king was confident and would not secretly snatch the fruits of victory. He would use his strength to take it!

Only in this way would he be a king! Only then would he be able to make people submit to him!

Locke picked his ears. That was all he wanted to say as compensation for what had happened last night!

However, Hathaway did not reply as she fainted due to lack of energy.

Looking at the two sleeping beauties, Locke had a headache.

However, he still had other things to do.

Locke turned around and looked at the uneven stone walls around Water City. He looked at the Twin-headed White Jade Snake and said, “Lil’ White, destroy these walls. The beautiful Water City doesn’t need any false pretenses!”

“Hiss… Hiss…”

The Twin-headed White Jade Snake’s eyes flashed red. It kept moving toward the city gate. The Light and Dark Spatial Slash in its mouth was ready!
