My Players Are So Fierce

Amidst the continuous howls of wolves, Triss, with a face like frost, looked coldly at the unstoppable tide of Wolf Disaster Lords charging in. In just a few seconds, the path beside Mannis’ escape was filled with a galloping pack of Star Realm Wolves.

Murphy finally had a direct understanding of the wolf disaster. Judging by the scale of this wolf pack, it’s no joke that the Silver Wolf could destroy a human kingdom overnight.

“If you really became the Queen of the North Wind, the entire material world would probably be devoured by your wolf pups…”

Murphy swung his magic wand, sweeping several Wolf Disaster Lords pouncing towards Mannis into a space rift, but instead of sending them to the Star Realm, he threw them directly into the material world.

The Silver Wolf clearly had some ability to master space, which was why her wolf pack arrived so swiftly under her command, but no matter how formidable Herson was, he couldn’t pull the Wolf Disaster Lords that fell into the material world back to the Star Realm.

In the fleeting light of that space rift, with a peculiar look in her eyes, Triss threw out a large area of psychic lightning to repel the encroaching pack, whispering to Murphy:

“Hey, you just threw a Wolf Disaster Lord into the Mist City… I saw it land in King Louis’ palace, was that intentional?”

“How could I have such skills? It was all an accident, when this thing opens a rift unless it’s precisely controlled, it’s all random transmission, looks like our Majesty King Louis is having a bad day.”

Murphy’s mouth spouted nonsense, but the smile on his face was getting more and more delighted.

Mannis, bitten all over by the pack, howled in agony, but also let out a laugh like a scoundrel watching someone else’s misfortune, as he drew closer to the star gate ahead.

Though called a star gate, it was actually a permanent spatial singularity created when the Star Realm was torn apart, resembling a rotating black hole suspended amidst the starlit sky. Some powerful beings in the Star Realm could travel between different areas through star gates, but weaker creatures would be torn to pieces by the chaotic spatial turbulence if they got too close to it.

“I’ll throw you across, remember to hold hands, and don’t let go, Cui Tan is on the other side to receive you.”

Nearly torn apart by the wolf pack, Mannis swayed his body, shaking off the wolves’ bites, while shouting:

“I’ve had the worst luck of my life today, might end up being bitten to death by the Silver Wolf here, Dog Murphy, remember today’s sacrifice, and if you ever make it big, don’t forget to lend a hand to your old man.

When dogs get rich, they shouldn’t forget each other.”

With that, the Endless One abruptly stopped between the star gates, using his power as the Time Snake to envelop Murphy and Triss, and with the momentum of the sudden stop, tossed them into the star gate ahead.

It was like throwing a stone into a whirlpool, after a few bounces it vanished.

In the next second, Mannis was surrounded by more than a dozen Wolf Disaster Lords in front of the star gate, and Silver Wolf Herson approached with a predator’s chilling stride, stepping on starlight.

She fixed her solitary eye on the cornered Endless One, her power locking the shattered space around.

“How much did Murphy offer you to drag you into this mess? I’m very curious, did he prepare a grave fitting your profile in Transylvania?”

Herson gazed at the quivering, curled-up Mannis with eyes that could kill; she said:

“It’s not the first time you’ve ruined my plans, Mannis. This is unlike your usual damn egoism. Can you tell me why? Are you planning to turn over a new leaf and devote yourself to some so-called just cause?”

“Tsk, I’m obviously not getting out of this beating today.”

The Endless One curled himself up, the pitiful Time Snake trembling but stubbornly shouted:

“But don’t expect to scare me, Herson, unlike you dragging yourself onto a dead-end, I am always able to seize the initiative, grab a big piece of meat and then make a clean break.

Given that I’m about to be royally beaten by you today, why don’t you tell me a little secret, Silver Wolf Your Majesty… Are you collaborating with the Subspace Shadows?

Are they instigating you to rebel against your father?”

“No, it’s just the survival of the fittest, the beastly law driving me.”

The Silver Wolf was not hiding her motive, then she heard the Endless One laugh mockingly, Mannis ridiculing:

“Alright, alright, I thought you prepared yourself before doing something dangerous, that in a terrible conspiracy, you wanted to collude with outsiders to kill Old Su Head and split its estate, turns out this was completely your stubborn grand idea, just because of such a silly reason.

I thought you suddenly had some wisdom, but it turns out you are naively foolish, appearing as if you have great wisdom by being simply stupid.

This must be what the foreigners mean by a fool besting a talent.

Old Su Head strives to let all life live with dignity, and yet here you are, content to be a shameless beast…”

“What did you say?”

The light in the Silver Wolf’s singular eye was cold enough to kill.

But the previously afraid Mannis suddenly shifted his momentum, his body swaying amidst the light of time, transformed from a weak state of the Time Snake into the full powerful form of the Star Serpent that even the entire wolf pack and entire Star Sea feared.

Amidst that monstrous asteroid-like form unfolding wildly, Mannis opened his mouth, revealing venomous fangs wrapped in sinister green light. Flicking his tongue, he arrogantly spoke to the retreating Silver Wolf:

“That’s right, I’m mocking you, Herson, you are the dumbest among all demigods! While everyone else strives for more, only you, in possession of power, are satisfied with being a beast.

I tricked the naive Murphy just now.

My luck today is actually incredibly good!

This has been the best day of luck since I was sealed by that damn Ao, but to let my collaborators owe me a favor, I had to act out a pitiful scene, so many thanks for your cooperation today, my dear supporting cast.

As a reward, this Star Serpent will only eat a fifth of you as my box lunch for today’s leading role.

As for you, Herson…

Run!

Before I blind your other eye with my poison, run!

Run to the end of the Star Realm, find a hole to bury yourself, then pray Lord Mannis can’t find you!

Adversity changed the once-rigid me, teaching him the importance of good alliances, hence now, I must find a way to make Old Su Head owe me a favor too.

If before you initiate a patricidal plot, I sent your head to Old Su Head, would the generous God of the North Wind reward me heavily? Perhaps that old lonely wolf, heartbroken by his unfilial daughter, would grant all his inheritance to me, a do-gooder helping resolve family conflicts.

Why don’t we try it?”
