That was right!

Would Yagon forgive her?

She couldn’t afford to offend either the dragon or the tiger. In terms of their combat ability, her best choice was to help the tiger.

Yagon was a much more powerful fighter, but the tiger was a sinister creature. She could never figure him out.

She had been set up once when she killed the wolf king. What if, by helping the tiger, she brought more harm to herself?

“Alright. I’ll help you fight Yagon!” The three-eyed cat finally made her decision.

“You!” Yagon hadn’t anticipated this.

He thought the worst scenario would be having the cat sit this one out and reap the spoils later. However, she chose to help the tiger, putting him under a lot of pressure.

“This is great!

“Yagon, your life will end here today. Go to hell!

“We’ll find the bird and send her on her way, too!” The tiger guffawed. He was certain he would win this battle. Everything was going as planned.

“Lumi? The poisonous mad dog?” Suddenly, the tiger frowned and immediately backed away. The bat and the cat followed suit.

What were those two doing here? Were they here to help Yagon?

“Why are you here?” the tiger asked.

If they decided to help Yagon, the situation could turn around.

Lumi stood on one of the branches, flickering in and out of sight without saying a word. It was as if it was only here to watch the show.

The poisonous mad dog lay his chin on the ground, seemingly asleep.

The unstable factors! Both of them were here!

The battle was bound to be more complicated than it seemed.

“Yagon, how did you manage to summon them?” the tiger asked gloomily.

He had no idea Yagon could do this. If he knew, he wouldn’t have made this move so soon.

Yagon didn’t say anything. He was lost in his thoughts.

When the cat went to the other side, she sent him a secret message, promising him she would take out the bat. But now, they were all surprised by the newcomers.

“Ahh! You!”

“Shut up and die!”

Everybody looked in the direction of the noise and saw a shocking scene. The bat was dead. The cat had killed him!

Picking up the bat’s corpse, the three-eyed cat told Yagon, “I’ve kept my side of the bargain. I hope you can keep your promise.”

Promise?

The tiger was surprised.

Didn’t the cat choose his side? Why did she suddenly betray him?

“Why? We could have killed Yagon together!” The tiger bellowed.

The cat’s actions had destroyed his entire plan. His preparations were all futile.

“You felt more dangerous to me. Killing Yagon won’t do me any good, but helping him will be helping myself. Why should I choose you over him?” the cat said calmly.

She knew what was best for her. Killing the bat, she would gain all the benefits, but killing Yagon would only make her look over her shoulder for the tiger’s ambush all the time.

Therefore, she attacked the bat when he was distracted and killed him. She was trading the bat’s life for her own.

“Damn it! I’ll kill you!

“My plan would have worked if it weren’t for you. It’s all your fault!” The tiger’s muscles bulged, and blue veins popped up all over his body.

He was furious beyond measure. His top priority was to kill the cat right here and now.

He jumped at the cat.

“I’m the one you’re fighting!”

Bang!

Yagon turned into a dragon and pounced at the tiger. Since the cat had made her choice, he would keep his promise.

The impact of their collision created powerful shockwaves.

The trees nearby were uprooted, and some smaller ones were either shattered or blown into the distance. The one Lumi was on was the only one that was still standing. The poisonous mad dog lay under the tree and remained unaffected.

The three-eyed cat moved to the side and cautiously watched Lumi as if trying to see through this creature.

“Stop staring. I’m something you can’t figure out,” Lumi said indifferently.

The cat also dropped the act. “Who are you? What are you doing here?”

Lumi smiled. “I’m exactly what you see. As for why I’m here, I’m waiting for somebody.”

Waiting for somebody?

Apart from the fire phoenix, all the main players in the forest were here. Lumi couldn’t be waiting for the ordinary beasts. Moreover, none of them would dare come here.

“The fire phoenix’s here. Is she the one you’re waiting for?” The cat saw Phoe and Firey.

“No, I’m waiting for the person behind them,” Lumi said frankly.

It didn’t have to answer the question, but since the cat asked, it answered.

“Who’s that next to the fire phoenix?” The cat suspected she knew the answer, but she wasn’t sure.

The energy was so familiar that she felt she knew what it was, but she couldn’t believe her eyes.

“That’s the essence of nature,” said Lumi.

Yes! She was right!

The cat was astonished. She couldn’t believe the girl next to the fire phoenix was the essence of nature. It was incredible.

“I didn’t know the essence of nature could exist in this form, let alone become a human,” the cat said greedily.

What a treasure!

Her ability would improve greatly if she could have something like that. Maybe she could even fight against Yagon, the forest lord that even the two-headed tiger couldn’t overpower.

She couldn’t imagine what level she would reach if she absorbed the essence of nature.

“You’d better not have wrong ideas, or you’ll die,” said Lumi.

“Why? Are you going to stop me?” the cat asked.
