Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 4271

The Starry Roc-fish swam around the four pillars, searching earnestly.

It had initially only planned to exhaust Geoffrey's strength.

It figured this was the most efficient way to deal with him and Ziya. Ziya would have been easy pickings after that.

But the Starry Roc-fish hadn't expected Geoffrey to use Grand Teleportation to escape.

The Starry Roc-fish could detect objects using the aura of space, but the Heavenly Ring Staff was obviously shielding Geoffrey and Ziya. It took some time for the Starry Roc-fish's echolocation ability to lead it toward the general direction of the pillars.

It began to sense Geoffrey and Ziya in the area as soon as it approached.

But suddenly, the two became undetectable again.

The Starry Roc-fish had such keen senses that it could see the energy emanating from everything in the world, including from dead people. It could easily pick up on energy fluctuations, too.

Avoiding its detection like this would usually require those in hiding to block all external energy auras and stop emitting auras themselves.

Suffice to say, that was a near impossible feat.

That was why the Starry Roc-fish concluded Geoffrey and Ziya must be using the Heavenly Ring Staff.

It was likely why the Starry Roc-fish couldn't find them now.

But it had to, all the same. It couldn't disobey the downgrader's orders.

"Woo..."

The Starry Roc-fish emitted a long wailing sound.

The sound waves bounced back from surfaces, allowing the Starry Roc-fish to determine the shape of its surroundings, including those concealed.

The sound waves washed through a vast area. But it still failed to pick up on Geoffrey and Ziya.

The Starry Roc-fish figured it must be looking in the wrong area.

It turned to go.

Just then, a door suddenly opened above the Eternal Divine Courtyard. A white light emanated from the doorway.

The light began to flash, and the voice of the downgrader piped up directly in the Starry Roc-fish's mind, "Wait there!"

The Starry Roc-fish didn't know what it had to wait for, but it couldn't refuse. It hovered in place for a moment.

Soon, it saw a person being dropped from above. The person landed on the roof of the Eternal Divine Courtyard.

The white light flashed again. "Give it your all and kill him!" the downgrader commanded.

The Starry Roc-fish was left a little puzzled at that.

The human in front of it looked extremely weak. He seemed to be just a third-grade creature who had not even undergone the Red Jade Rite. It didn't look like it would take much to kill him.

But the Starry Roc-fish just did what it was told.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Five-colored lightning bolts started swirling around the Starry Roc-fish's sharp head.

The more bolts there were, the more powerful the force became.

"Woo..."

The Starry Roc-fish emitted the echolocation sound again to lock in on its target. It released the lightning.

All this time, Geoffrey and Ziya had been arching their backs and running on the chain, hiding successfully from the Starry Roc-fish.

They had heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the Starry Roc-fish turn to leave, but felt confused when it had suddenly stopped in place, as if waiting for something.

That was when they saw the door open and Zen drop down like a corpse.

"Father!"

Geoffrey couldn't help but hiss urgently as he saw the Starry Roc-fish preparing to zap Zen.

Crack!
