Chapter 2554 Ulterior Motive
This was Imperial Beast City, the territory of the beast race. It was bad enough that Jared, a human,was brought there, yet he even dared to sneak into the imperial library in the middle of the night!
“Don't misunderstand. I was just—”
When Jared saw Tigerus, he wanted to explain, but before he could finish his sentence, the latterswung his sword at him.
Jared had no choice but to throw the book at Tigerus and attempt to escape.
“Think you can run? If I let you go, then I, as the general of the royal guards, would be unworthy of mytitle!” Seeing Jared trying to flee, Tigerus roared angrily and charged at Jared with his sword again.
Tigerus harbored prejudice against Jared. He didn't like humans and thought they were too cunning.
Unfortunately, Ivasha had a soft spot for humans. She was always hoping she could marry one andhave a human husband.
However, because the beast and human races couldn't intermarry, Ivasha had to restrain herself.
When Tigerus saw Ivasha walking side by side with Jared, laughing and chatting, he was besidehimself with rage.
Therefore, upon discovering Jared had sneaked into the imperial library and browsed the books inside,he immediately found an excuse to teach Jared a lesson.
Tigerus was ruthless in his attacks, seemingly intent on killing Jared.
With his strength not fully recovered, Jared was no match for Tigerus. Seeing the latter's ferociousstrikes and lethal moves, Jared could only rely on his agility to dodge constantly.
Whoosh!
Tigerus swung his sword toward Jared's face, the spine-chilling and razor-sharp blade rapidlyapproaching Jared.
Jared wanted to dodge, but Tigerus was too fast that time, rendering Jared unable to evade the attack.
At that point, Jared could only grit his teeth. His body shone with golden light as he activated GolemBody. Instantaneously, dazzling golden scales covered his entire figure.
Clang!
Crossing his arms, Jared blocked Tigerus' attack.
However, the enormous force threw him back, and he fell heavily to the ground. Golem Body shatteredin an instant and dissipated in a flash of golden light.
Blood trickled down the corner of Jared's mouth. The difference in strength between him and Tigeruswas insurmountable. Even with Golem Body's protection, he was still injured.
“I didn't expect you, a mere human, to have this golden protective armor. It seems you're not a simpleperson. You must've come to Imperial Beast City with an ulterior motive! I'll kill you today! Let's see howyou can still plot against our city if you're dead!”
After saying that, Tigerus brought his blade down on Jared again.
In the face of Tigerus' formidable move, Jared could only close his eyes in resignation. He knew hecould not withstand that blow.
However, just as Tigerus' sword was about to hit Jared, a flash of light suddenly flickered and struck theblade.novelbin
Tigerus jerked at the impact and staggered a few steps back.
“Tigerus, how dare you attack my guest?” Ivasha stormed over angrily with Julius by her side.
The person who saved Jared a moment ago was Julius.
“Are you all right, Jared?” Ivasha stepped forward to help Jared up from the floor.
He chuckled wryly and shook his head.
At that moment, he felt utterly helpless. If it weren't because he hadn't fully recovered his abilities, hewouldn't have fallen into such a pathetic state while fighting against Tigerus.
“Princess Ivasha, this punk sneaked into King Yuven's imperial library and was caught red-handed byme while he was secretly reading King Yuven's book collection. I've said this early on—humans arecunning and untrustworthy. He must harbor ulterior motives for reading King Yuven's books!” Tigerusloudly declared to Ivasha.
Hearing that, Ivasha turned to gaze at Jared in slight astonishment with a questioning look in her eyes.
“Princess Ivasha, I was just feeling too bored in my room and wanted to take a stroll. I ended upwandering here and browsed through the books inside. You were the one who brought me hereforcefully, so what ulterior motives could I possibly have?” That was the only explanation Jared couldcome up with to defend himself.
