Village Head's Debauchery-Chapter 1285 J’garin, The Ethereal Ice Winged Panther!

1285 J'garin, The Ethereal Ice Winged Panther!

Zymera halted above a stream of water.

Orion and the others halted behind her. Before they arrived, Zymera informed them that she wanted to speak with J'garin to update him on the situation and the purpose of their visit. It was evident that she didn't want another conflict to arise, which would undoubtedly end in his defeat, so she decided to take the lead.

However, if she failed to convince him, they would step in and handle things their way.

Zymera stretched her index finger forward. A small ball of fierce crimson fire appeared at its tip and shot toward the stream like an arrow, piercing into the frozen plain and sinking deep within it.

"J'garin, come out!" Zymera called, her voice calm but loud enough to resonate across the surroundings. Ripples appeared on the streams of water and penetrated deep into the frozen plain.

The frozen plain trembled.

Soon, a crimson hue radiated from the bottom of the stream, where the crimson ball of fire had sunk. The surrounding water parted, creating a 90-meter diameter circle before halting.

Then, a terrifying aura filled the area, stifling the atmosphere.

Zymera clicked her tongue in annoyance but quickly dispersed the pressure. She didn't want Orion and the others to intervene. She knew J'garin was taking his time, observing the situation since she hadn't come alone, before deciding whether to emerge. However, based on the momentum she used to approach him, she was confident he would reveal himself.

"You'd better show yourself, or don't blame me for letting those behind me act," she muttered. She had already sent him a warning; now, it was up to him to decide what to do.

Suddenly, an enormous ethereal figure emerged from the frozen plain, halting in the air and staring down at them.

This was J'garin, an Ethereal Ice Winged Panther, a 5,999-year-old secluded Aristocriat-ranked Spirit Beast!

He was a colossal 80-meter(263ft)tall panther with semi-transparent fur that glistened like starlight on frost. Silver frost mist trailed around his paws. Two upward-curving crystalline horns crowned his head, and his wings, composed of four crystalline feathered wings, stirred the winds as they fluttered.

J'garin looked at the group, sensing the power of the figures seated on the White Winged Gryphons as if they were mounts. Then, his focus shifted to Zymera.

"Scorching Bloom, what is the meaning of this?" J'garin asked, his tone threatening.

"I've brought along some visitors who want to see you and won't take no for an answer, so stop the dramatic display and let's talk properly," Zymera responded.

J'garin nodded, and instantly, his form began to shrink until he was about 7.5 meters tall, nearly matching Zymera's current height.

Seeing that J'garin had refused to shift from his Spirit Beast form out of caution, Zymera sighed inwardly but said nothing. Though Spirit Beasts could freely shift into other forms after reaching a certain level, those forms severely restricted their abilities. The reason she had shifted was to show she didn't plan to resist their demands any longer.

However, for others, transforming into a non-combat form could be akin to serving themselves on a platter. It was reasonable for J'garin to remain in his Spirit Beast form upon noticing the formidable individuals she had brought with her. Even she wouldn't have done otherwise until witnessing their terrifying strength and realizing there was no way to escape.

"What is it that you want to speak about? It better be worth the time you've wasted bringing me out here," J'garin said harshly, his pale cyan eyes narrowing at Zymera. "Otherwise, I won't hesitate to sever the friendship we've built over several millennia." Though his gaze wasn't on the group behind her, he remained alert, carefully observing their every move.

Upon hearing his threat, Zymera snorted, "Don't worry. After this, you'll thank me and even offer me some of your treasures. I came because…" Her expression and tone grew solemn as she explained the reason for her presence.

When she finished, she became silent.

J'garin's expression tightened as he contemplated. "If that's the case, I see no reason not to participate in defending the Floating Frost Valley against the Celestial Spirit Court forces. However, I'm currently at a crucial point in my life and need to stay hidden for two more days to safely advance to my 6,000th year of age," he responded.

Zymera nodded in understanding, not surprised that J'garin would choose to delay until he reached his 6,000th year. If he were to follow them now and they were ambushed by the Celestial Spirit Court forces, who might have already learned of their comrades' elimination and rushed to the Floating Frost Valley, he could be at risk.

The Celestial Spirit Court might send several Aristocrat-ranked Spirit Beasts, and in such a scenario, J'garin could be seriously injured or even consumed. Most of all, there was doubt about whether Orion would genuinely step in to save them if they were besieged or whether they would be used as pawns. Rather than making a reckless move, it was best for J'garin to wait until he reached the Baron rank, which would grant him a significant increase in both power and security. That way, he could protect himself without relying on others.

With countless Spirit Beasts being born and consumed daily, it would be a shame for someone who had lived this long to miss the chance to experience their 6,000th year when they were just one step away.

"Let's go and explain the situation to them," Zymera said with a solemn nod. Unfortunately, she wasn't the one with the final say. It was up to Orion and the others to decide.

J'garin nodded. If they refused this sensitive request, it would indicate their intentions weren't as pure as they appeared. In that case, he had already made up his mind to flee the Floating Frost Valley as quickly as possible. From the way Zymera had calmly explained the situation, he suspected she had been subdued by them. Even though his strength was increasing and he was becoming more powerful than her, he had no desire to fight them. They might be too stunned by his sudden retreat to react, and he intended to use that moment to escape.

As for his friendship with Zymera, he could make it up to her later if she survived. Their long-standing friendship had weathered many of life's ups and downs, and sacrificing one another to save their own lives wasn't a reason to end it. Escaping might also mean leaving some of his treasures behind, which Zymera could take and use to placate her anger. In the worst-case scenario, they would become more wary of each other and avoid residing in the same territory again.

Zymera took him to the group. She took the lead in explaining the situation to Orion.

"Reaching such an age is a special occasion for any Spirit Beast, so you don't need to explain further. As long as you make it to the White Winged Gryphons' home territory before the next two days end, I will allow it," Orion responded, his gaze focusing on J'garin.

"However, to ensure everything goes as planned, my wife will stay with you until you're ready to come," he gestured to Fifi.

Upon hearing Orion's words, the Spirit Beasts who had been accompanying the group were stunned.

The formidable woman was the leader's wife!

Suddenly, they recalled that, besides Fifi, there were other women dressed similarly to her but with different designs. Each was as formidable as the other, and they addressed each other as sisters. If they had any doubts before, now they were confident—these women were the leader's wives.

How incredible! It was already remarkable to have a relationship with one of these women, as they seemed like individuals who wouldn't be tied down by mortal affairs. But to have a relationship with all of them… how astounding must a man be to accomplish such a feat?

Zymera, who had only met Fifi, had assumed she was one of Orion's subordinates, so she was surprised to learn that Fifi was actually his wife. She couldn't help but glance at another woman, who stared back at her with a nonchalant expression and a scar on the edges of her eye patch. 'Could she be his wife too?' she thought.

Both women intimidated her with their piercing glances as though warning her not to make any sudden moves. This was why she had taken the initiative to explain the situation to J'garin first before he did anything foolish. Nevertheless, she shook the thought out of her mind. It wasn't her business. Instead, she grasped the implication of Orion's words.

However, their evaluation of Orion skyrocketed yet again!

J'garin, oblivious to all of this, also grasped the implication of Orion's words: if he changed his mind after reaching his 6,000th year of age, the woman would be there to deal with him appropriately. Though he didn't know if they had the strength to compete with a 6,000-year-old Baron-ranked Spirit Beast, he decided to place the matter aside for now and deal with it when the time came.
