Raising Beast Cubs to Find a Husband novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141: The Roar of the King

The claw descended like a falling mountain. It was inescapable. It was death.

Arjun squeezed his eyes shut.

But the crushing weight didn’t hit him.

Instead, there was a deafening CRACK-BOOM—the sound of thunder striking stone.

Arjun opened his eyes.

Hovering above him, her arms spread wide, was Primrose.

She wasn’t glowing with her usual warm, golden light. She was wreathed in silver lightning. Her Silver Tail—the one she had gained from the Wolf Crypts—had expanded into a massive, translucent dome of hard light and static electricity.

The Void Titan’s obsidian claw was pressed against the silver dome, grinding down with the weight of a collapsing star.

"Nanny!" Arjun screamed.

"I’ve... got you," Primrose grunted.

Her knees buckled. The stone floor beneath her feet shattered into dust. Blood trickled from her nose.

It’s heavy, Primrose thought, her vision blurring. It feels like trying to bench-press a castle.

The Void Qi hissed against her barrier, eating away at the silver light like acid. She could feel her ribs creaking. Her cultivation base was strong, but she was a Nanny, not a Titan-slayer.

"You possess the Wolf’s defense?" The Masked Man on the Titan’s shoulder sounded amused. "Cute. But a shield is useless if the arm holding it breaks."

The Titan pressed harder. The silver dome began to crack.

Rajah was on his knees, pinned by the gravity of the Void.

He watched the Titan crushing the two people he loved most in the world. His son. And the woman who had brought light back into their lives.

Something inside the Tiger Lord snapped.

It wasn’t a logical decision. It was a biological imperative.

Burn it, his instincts screamed. Burn the blood. Burn the life. Save the cub.

"GET OFF THEM!"

Rajah roared. His skin flushed bright red as he ignited his Life Essence. Golden fire erupted from his pores, incinerating the Void gravity holding him down.

He launched himself forward like a cannonball.

At the same time, a blur of crimson silk flashed past him.

Princess Leonora leaped into the air, her broadsword glowing with Lion Qi. She didn’t aim for the Titan. She aimed for the pilot.

"Hey, Ugly!" Leonora screamed.

She slashed a wave of energy at the Masked Man. He was forced to jump off the Titan’s shoulder to avoid being bisected.

"Annoying cats!" the Masked Man hissed, drawing a shadow dagger.

While Leonora engaged the controller, Caspian moved.

The Merman King slid across the floor on a wave of water. He jammed his trident under the Titan’s wrist.

"Heave!" Caspian shouted, his biceps bulging as he summoned every drop of water in the humid air to create a hydraulic lift.

For a second, the pressure on Primrose lifted.

"Now, Prim!" Caspian yelled. "Move!"

"I... I can’t," Primrose wheezed.

Her legs wouldn’t work. The Void Qi had seeped into her bones. It was cold—colder than the North. It was freezing her blood.

The Silver Shield flickered and died. The Titan roared, shaking off Caspian’s trident like a nuisance. The claw started coming down again.

"She needs Yang Energy!" Queen Mother Durga screamed from the stairs. "The Fox is Yin! The Void is Yin! She needs Fire to counterbalance the cold!"

Fire, Primrose thought dizzily.

She looked to her right. She was lying inches away from the Sun Stone.

The massive crystal was pulsing with sickening purple light, but deep in its core... there was still a spark. A tiny, defiant ember of gold.

It’s hot, Primrose realized. It’s like that time I tried to take a tray out of the oven without mitts. It burns.

But she was freezing to death.

Primrose reached out.

"Don’t!" Rajah shouted, running toward her. "The corruption will kill you!"

Primrose didn’t listen. She slapped her hand flat against the Sun Stone.

WHOOSH.

It wasn’t pain. It was ignition.

The heat rushed into her arm, straight into her core. It met the cold Void energy inside her and detonated.

Primrose threw her head back and screamed—not in agony, but in power.

Her dress fluttered as a shockwave of heat blasted outward. The Void Titan recoiled, its shadow-fur sizzling.

From the base of Primrose’s spine, a blinding light erupted.

POOF.

A third tail unfurled.

It wasn’t white. It wasn’t silver.

It was Gold, tipped with Crimson. It looked like it was made of living flame.

The Sun-Fire Tail.

Primrose stood up. Her eyes were no longer amber; they were burning red. The frost in her veins evaporated instantly.

"That," Primrose said, her voice echoing with a strange, harmonic power, "is much better."

She whipped her new tail forward. A wave of pure, concentrated sunlight smashed into the Titan’s chest, pushing the twenty-foot monster back a full step.

Rajah skidded to a halt next to Arjun. He grabbed his son, checking him for injuries.

"Dad!" Arjun cried, hugging him. "Primrose is on fire! Is she okay?"
