Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 1066 - Pentamoon Slayers

Chapter 1066 - Pentamoon Slayers

Translator: BOTA Fireteam

"The moment the Brightmoon Divine Formation breaks, the killer will rush in! This is bad..."

"Quick, repair the formation core! The killer might not be nearby!"

"It can’t be done. Only Her Majesty and the imperial guide can deal with it, but itll take at least six hours with that level of damage..."

"Oh my... what in the world brought this situation about..."

The grand moon guides should have been used to dealing with crisis situations by now, but this one had really left them hanging.

"By the way, what word did Li Tianming engrave on the doors?"

They approached to take a look, only to see a squiggly word that read ’details’. It completely stumped them.

"What does he mean by ’details’?"

"No idea."

"Might just be a ruse to waste our time guessing."

Little did they know that Sovereign Xi would immediately know what that meant. Tianming was mocking her. No matter how she obsessed over the details, he had managed to get her to lower her guard and let Tianming get the better of her. It was a slap on the face! Now that the formation was gone, the consequences would be horrendous if they were unlucky.

As the five grand moon guides stood there, confused, the star arrived. A tall, slender silhouette appeared next to the lake, followed by a girl in a moon-white robe. The two of them saw everything with their backs facing the grand moon guides.

"Your Majesty!" they immediately greeted and knelt.

"Your Majesty, the other five grand moon guides were supposed to be on shift today. We heard a commotion and immediately came here. However, Li Tianming was too strong and we weren’t able to stop him. Before we arrived, the five of them had already been killed by Li Tianming! Your Majesty, please make things right!"

Tianming was her pet, and now that this had happened, all the grand moon guides dared to request was for her to set things right. The whole scene fell silent. Then, the imperial guide was the first to turn back. Her cold gaze fell on Liu Qinghuan’s corpse, then she appeared next to it in the next instant.

She turned his body around with shaking hands. The ninth-level ascendant beastmaster was truly dead. Her eyes shook with emotion; this was her husband only in name. Since her youth, she had spared quite a lot of effort to nurture him, but she hadn’t truly given him much of a look. Now that he was a lifeless corpse, she felt her heart bleed despite her heartless nature.

Even so, this was no time to grieve. The formation had been broken, and they had a right to be angry. Immediately, she returned to the sovereign. "What has happened can’t be changed. We have to repair the formation core immediately! All we can hope for is that the beast isn’t anywhere near our city. Let’s do it together with every patternscribe we can find. We’ll try to have it back up within two hours.

She looked at the sovereign with a determined gaze. She was the person who understood her the best. Ever since they had met close to five centuries ago, she had never seen the sovereign lose her temper.

"Impressive! How bold of him! To think that he’d mess with Us like this... Really impressive!" She had never felt her killing intent rise so much before now. Every step of the way, Tianming had seemed to be falling further under her control, so she had relaxed her guard. Yet on the very night her plans were coming to fruition, she had been stabbed in the back by a brat in a moment of carelessness. "So Li Tianming wants to see who’s more cruel, eh..."

Bloodlust leaked from her eyes. She felt completely different from the moonlit beauty from before. Perhaps this was her true nature, and the rest was just a temptress persona she put up as a front. Now, her whole body was radiating a threatening aura. The five grand moon guides, as well as the rest who came after, kept their heads lowered as they knelt.

When the sovereign turned back and saw Liu Qinghuan’s corpse, then the word on the doors, she felt rage assail her heart. The sheer wrath she felt damaged her organs and caused her to spit out a mouthful of blood. Details, details! That was the word she had said when she revealed her hand to Tianming as a show of dominance. The word cut through her bosom like a sharp blade.

"Good... very good!" She hadn’t felt truly angry for years. "But with my Bluemoon Heart, you wouldn’t be able to escape no matter where you go! We will capture you!"

She turned toward the direction Tianming had escaped and prepared to give chase. Based on the signal from the Bluemoon Heart, Tianming was about to exit the city.

However, the imperial guide grabbed her hand. "Calm down. Chasing him down isn’t what we need to do right now. We’ll have to rely on you to restore the formation. We have to use every second we have to repair it and hope the killer isnt nearby. You can chase Li Tianming down anytime with Bluemoon Heart.

Sovereign Xi looked at her coldly.

"Calm down, alright? The killer isnt easy to deal with. In the event that he comes here, you won’t be able to go anywhere else. Who knows how many will die because of this?" the imperial guide pressed, grabbing her tightly. "It was just a careless mistake that the kid took advantage of. All you need to do is to act like you usually would. Don’t let that brat sway you!"

"That’s right. He intentionally left that word there to drive Us mad..." She took deep breaths and calmed down. When she opened her eyes again, her rage had completely dissipated. Now, she was so cool that her lips seemed paler than before. "Heed Our decree."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone knelt and listened.

"First, immediately activate all three layers of defense formations. Second, have all the divine moonrace in the city return home and activate their respective household defense formations. Nobody is to be left outside! Third, summon all patternscribes here to restore the formation with Us! Fourth, have the Pentamoon Slayers come to Us..."

The divine moonrace immediately made their move to reinforce their defenses and put the city on lockdown. Each household was to form a unit on their own to minimize the damage the killer could inflict while the main formation was being repaired. As for the Pentamoon Slayers, they were the sharpest blade of the sovereign that had killed tens of thousands of people for her across the centuries. Before Bodhi had come to claim the title of ’killer’, they used to be the most famous killers in the Divine Moon Realm, and slaughtered for a living.
