What sort of tiger is a sucker for titles? Well, I guess it's fine as long as it's one of us instead of our foes!
Seconds after another cry from Tiger Lord, the beasts started surrounding the humans.
It was then Zeke repeated himself, “Set the members of Azure Dragon free! Just take out the ones with negative energies!”
The members of Azure Dragon hurried their way out of the encirclement of beasts immediately after they heard Tiger Lord roaring.
A few members of Netherworld thought of sneaking their way out with the members of Azure Dragon. However, they couldn't conceal their negative energy from the beasts. The beasts took them out without a second thought and smashed them into pieces.
Zeke repeated his instructions to take out those affiliated with Netherworld. Subsequently, the beasts went berserk and took out the ones inside the encirclement.
Those affiliated with Netherworld were dead before they could even get themselves ready for the beasts' brutal attacks.
A few minutes later, Zeke jumped off the mountain and fought alongside Tiger Lord. He would launch the fatal blow to kill their foes as Tiger Lord continued stirring things up.
Subsequently, Jackson's guardians, Chris, and Connor were all taken out within a short while.
Jackson was the only one alive. The effect of the resurrection potion was gradually wearing off. Therefore, his life was at stake when he had to take so many foes on at once.
Having no choice left, he consumed another bottle of resurrection potion to ensure he was capable of defending himself.
With that being said, the resurrection potion wasn't as effective as it was before. He was no longer at his peak since his life force had been exploited more than it should.
Jackson slammed into the wall of Summerbank and passed out in front of Zeke and the beasts.
Tiger Lord charged toward Jackson in an attempt to avenge itself. After all, Jackson was the one who sliced off a piece of its rump.
Zeke hurriedly stopped it. “Hold on a minute, Tiger Lord! Kindly spare him because I need him alive! I have something else planned for him!”
Unwilling to set the one who humiliated him free, Tiger Lord roared to express its disapproval.
Zeke remarked, “Tiger Lord, you shouldn't waste your time with such a trivial character. Doing so is beneath your status.”
Tiger Lord gave it a thought and decided Zeke was right. It responded with a grin while nodding to express its agreement.
Zeke was speechless when he found out the tiger in front of him possessed enough intelligence to understand what he was saying.
The battle between the beasts and the members of Netherworld lasted for another thirty minutes.
While some of the beasts had sustained serious injuries, all of them managed to make it through the fight alive.
On the other hand, the corpses of those affiliated with Netherworld were lying in puddles of blood throughout the woods.
Another roar from Tiger Lord was all it took to send the beasts back to the woods.
Ares approached Zeke and showed him a huge thumbs up.
“Great Marshal, I'm impressed! I can't believe you possess the ability to order the army of beasts around!”
Zeke shook his head and clarified, “Actually, it's the gift from the four elders. They spent most of their time here at Summerbank alongside these beasts. They were the ones who tamed the beasts. The energy of the elders was the sole reason they fought for us.”
“I see! It's truly the best gift we can ever ask for in times of emergencies!”
