Chapter 447: Assumption
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Himmel Soan went to see Yagon. He needed to finish this business to continue his search for Gina.
He didn’t want to wait any longer. The sooner, the better!
“Mr. Soan? What brought you here?” Yagon was a little perplexed.
Didn’t he say he was going to figure out how to handle Lumi? How long had it been?
Could he have figured it out in such a short time?
He couldn’t have!
“Let’s discuss how to handle Lumi. It can utilize a small proportion of the law of nature’s power. If it does that, it’ll have no problem handling you.
“But after that, the real law of nature will be onto it. Therefore, it won’t do anything unless it has absolute certainty.” Himmel Soan ignored Yagon’s reaction and went straight to the point.
Yagon was dumbfounded at first, but he soon joined the discussion.
“So, we don’t need to worry about Lumi. If it can’t attack us itself, we only need to watch out for the poisonous mad dog.
“The dog is quite tricky. None of my or Phoe’s stances work on him!” Yagon analyzed.
Neither Lumi nor the dog scared them. The real concern was its hidden tricks. Yagon didn’t know anything about Lumi, let alone the cards up its sleeves. Their top priority was to get rid of it.
Without Lumi, its hidden tricks would be useless.
“Lumi can’t attack you, but it can still protect itself. Although it’s not the genuine law of nature, we can’t underestimate it!
“Just concentrate on the poisonous mad dog. I’ll take care of the rest. Although he can absorb your attacks, there’s an upper limit. Once he reaches the threshold, he’ll snap. Together with Firey, you and Phoe will have no problem handling the dog.”
Yagon nodded. Himmel Soan had a plan, so he only needed to carry it out.
Mr. Soan would take care of Lumi and its tricks. Otherwise, Himmel Soan wouldn’t have come to him and told him this plan.
“Mr. Soan, if you have some ideas, just tell me. Phoe and I will follow your instructions.
“If you don’t want to, no need to discuss this with us. We’ll do as we’re told!” Yagon said respectfully.
His resolve was cemented. He already considered Himmel Soan to be his leader.
“I’ve said all I need to say. It’s time for action!” said Himmel Soan.
The idea of coming to Yagon was a spur-of-the-moment thing. As for what to do next, he would go with the flow. With enough power, he wouldn’t be afraid of any tricks that Lumi was playing.
“Firey, contact the law of nature and ask for Lumi’s location!”
“Great!”
…
On the western side of the Dusk Soul Forest, Lumi’s instincts warned him.
“Is it the law of nature? No, there is no reason to attack me now!” Lumi narrowed its eyes and sensed its power.
It couldn’t feel anything. It was almost as if it was hallucinating.
“What’s wrong, Lumi? Aren’t you going to remove our seals? Stopping suddenly like that can kill us!”
“Lumi, what the hell are you doing?”
The three ancient beasts asked. To remove the seal, they had to work from inside and outside simultaneously. They couldn’t work too fast or too slowly. Every step had to be synchronized.
Lumi almost lost the rhythm when it turned around for a moment. If the process failed, they could face severe consequences. That was why the beasts were so angry.
Their anger woke Lumi up from its stupor.
“I’m sorry. It was my fault. I sensed something amiss, which was why I got distracted. I think it was an illusion.”
Lumi looked at the square black stone in front of it.
No.
That feeling couldn’t have been an illusion.
Lumi was on its guard. It didn’t know where that sense of crisis came from, so it was hostile toward everybody, including the three ancient beasts.
“Lumi, what are you thinking? Your hostility is too strong!”
“We’re working together in a win-win situation. Do you really want to kill us?”
“You can’t defeat the law of nature without our help!”
The three ancient beasts could easily detect Lumi’s killing intent. Realizing it was exposed, Lumi spoke its mind, “Yes, I wanted to kill you!”
“Why? Aren’t we partners?”
“Why do you think so? What if you stop working with me when you come out? What if you turn on me?”
“Why would we do that to our partner? What good will it do to us? We’re counting on you to change the environment!”
The three beasts were shocked. They had never had such thoughts. The most aggressive thought they had was what they would do if Lumi refused to change the rules.
Killing Lumi had never come to their minds. It wouldn’t do them any good, so they never thought about doing it.
But…
Their explanation didn’t work for Lumi. It had never trusted the beasts. They had lived for so long, so who really knew what their plans were?
After the strange feeling earlier, Lumi became very cautious to the point of paranoia. These ancient beasts could be an unstable factor!
“What if you lied to me? Maybe this seal is the only thing that’s keeping you under control.” Lumi made an assumption.
That idea didn’t just pop out. Lumi had always had that thought. If that were true, freeing the beasts might become his downfall.
“Why would we lie to you?”
“We don’t have any reason to do that!”
The beasts tried to explain, but nothing they said would work.
Lumi said, “Even Soil and Wood have broken their promises.
“How can I trust you?”
