Chapter 639 Danger!
BZZZ!
Legolas appeared in an entirely different region of space.
The first thing that entered his mind was to access his galactic access device and he did only for his heart to fall to the deepest abyss instantly.
[Current Location: Unknown!]
[No signal!]
Legolas despaired.
He was just teleported to the deepest jungles of space where no one could trace him and come to rescue him.
This proved a very bitter and dangerous fact to him.
At this moment, he was alone.
"…!" This realization made Legolas' heart to run cold.
At the same time that Legolas regained orientation of himself, Gaufrid did the same as shock and confusion shone in the eyes of this beast.
This beast literally already embraced death a few seconds ago.
He looked at himself, then at the human Legolas, then at the Red Deacon, he paused for a few seconds in shock then he finally understood.
This Demonic Lion's energy shook aggressively as it became unstable.
Gaufrid shook in rage as he turned to look at a beast that he once highly respected, he roared. "Ghost…, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"
Ghost smirked. "You were always na?ve and soft-hearted Gaufrid".
"It is one of your qualities that made me and the others fall in love with you and to believe in your goal but at this stage of pursuing our goal, hard decisions need to be made".
"You needed someone with enough spine to make the decision on your behalf and fortunately for you, you have that someone in me".
"You agreeing to die is the most foolish thing I've ever heard from you".
"Your death has nothing to do with you becoming a symbol".
"You are already a symbol for all beasts pursuing beast freedom!"
"Our goal was never to make peace with the Naks and Ackermanns, our ultimate goal was always to create a world of freedom for all beasts no matter what sacrifices was needed to achieve the ultimate goal".
"This world of freedom can only be created when all of them are wiped out".
Gaufrid looked at the beast standing opposite him in shock for 2 seconds before he closed his eyes. "You are no longer the Ghost that I knew".
"You're no longer the Ghost that I acknowledged as teacher".
"What has 2 centuries living as a spy done to you?"
Ghost smirked. "It made me wiser, smarter, and more decisive".
Gaufrid clenched his fists in pain as blood flowed from them due to his nails ruthlessly digging in, when he spoke again his voice was laced with pain. "When did you betray us?"
"…?" Ghost was confused.
"When did you betray the Beast Coalition?!" Gaufrid roared at him.
"When did you become a subordinate of ElKing?"
Hearing that, Ghost's eyes turned cold. "It's a necessary evil".
"How could you do it?!" Gaufrid broke down in tears, tears of immense pain of having lost a once in a life time opportunity that he totally resonated with.
"That was our chance to achieve freedom!"
"That was our chance to fulfill our f*cking dream!"
"Now, they'll all die!"
"Those young innocent beasts, they'll all die…!"
"George, Saurtem…, they'll all f*cking die all due to your decision!"
"Ancestor…, oh Ancestor…" Gaufrid clutched his mane, he was going crazy.
This beast collapsed in pain and regret.
While the Beast King and the Espionage Priest had their moment together, the Red Deacon looked down at his prize with an excited glint in his eyes.
"Legolas Baron, it's so good to finally meet you".
"I feel like I'm standing in the presence of a future legend".
Though the red robe hid his facial features and body completely, Legolas could still tell how excited this Red Deacon was at this moment.
"I won't waste your time gem; I'll go straight to the point".
"The ability that I used to bring you here is called Fire Transmutation".
"By burning my own fire energy, I managed to create a fuel that was able to warp space around us and push us through a tube across the higher dimensions".
"At this moment, we're millions of kilometers away from the battlefield".
"Any hopes of being rescued, scrap them".
"Your only chance of survival is to accept our proposal".
The voice of this Red Deacon became even more excited. "ElKing is the strongest Elementalist in the universe, a Peak Beyond Grade A Super".
"He is 1 of only 3 Pirates in the universe who are strong enough to openly go against the 3 Universal Civilizations and live to tell the story".
"He is my boss and he has taken a liking to your talent".
"ElKing wants you to become his subordinate".
"Legolas Baron, join the ElKing Pirates".
"The benefits are numerous. Not only will you receive special attention and tutelage from the boss, you don't have to fear the suppression of the 3 Universal Civilizations, the tyrants who pose as angels".
The Red Deacon grinned. "You have only 2 options".
"Join us and live".
"Decline us and die, right here right now".
Silence.
For seconds, silence reigned as thousands of thoughts went through his mind even as he seemed to engage in a mental game of chess with himself.
Legolas analyzed countless scenarios of how this could end with any of the decisions in his mind and none of them looked bright.
This time, he was truly in danger.
His options were very limited.
If Legolas was a normal Super, his only option would be to accept. Afterall, how bad would it be to be the special student of one of the strongest Beyond Grade A Supers of the universe but no, Legolas was from the future.
He knew ElKing, he knew this vicious pirate's notoriety.
He was a thousand percent sure that joining the ElKing Pirates would automatically turn him into the new guinea pig of the vicious pirate.
Legolas was caught in a pinch.
He didn't waste more time though, that would only be delaying the inevitable. He had only one answer in his mind.
Legolas looked at the Red Deacon, he took a deep breath.
"No".
Silence.
