Chapter 194 Talking with Ganesha

Delilah’s back quickly became drenched in sweat.

It took her an unbelievable amount of courage to not instantly teleport away from here.

Seeing the pitiful state she was in, Roy couldn’t help but feel an urgent need to comfort her.

“It’s alright.”

Uttering those words in her ears, he grabbed her hand and intertwined his thick, muscled fingers with her long, slender ones.

Her scrunched-up brows eased, and the creases on her forehead disappeared as she stopped frowning.

Maybe it was because of the way he held her hand, or maybe it was because of the calming tone in which he said those words to her, but he succeeded in making Delilah feel comforted.

“Thank you.”

Delilah looked at him in gratitude, doing nothing to pull her hand out of his grasp.

At that moment, it wasn’t only Delilah that needed a man’s support but also Amelia.

The aura emitted by the one thousand aura monsters suppressed her completely.

She felt paralyzed from head to toe and soon collapsed, and her body tilted, threatening to fall to the ground.

But before that could become a reality, Roy wrapped his hand around her lithe, willow-like waist, which was clad in a velvety jacket and purplish nightgown. He then pushed her into his loving embrace, hugging her, patting her, and comforting her thoroughly.

‘He is so good to me!’

Amelia smiled at him sweetly as she rested her head on his sturdy chest.

She would have surely collapsed if not for him supporting her. That’s why she felt so attracted to and thankful to him.

Surrounded by a thousand unparalleled beasts, one man, who seems to have stepped out of a divine painting, supported and comforted two women, one with unparalleled beauty and the other with a packet full of cuteness, and helped them stay on their feet.

Arlo, blocking the aura of the beasts for the twins and Julian, winked at Roy.

It was as if he was asking, “How does holding beauties left and right feels like? Great, right?”

To let Roy have an experience of his lifetime, Arlo purposely didn’t block the beasts’ aura for them.

If Roy still couldn’t understand that, he wouldn’t be a man.

“Thank you.” Roy mouthed wordlessly.

Arlo read his lips, understood what he said, and smiled.

“Just doing what an uncle should.”

Arlo directed his gaze at the three monsters opposite him.

The left and right minister stepped back, and the bat also felt the need to increase the distance between them, but remembering that he was the advisor of this parade, he threw his fear of Arlo out the window.

“Umm, hello, sirs? W-what… did we d-do to warrant your… attention?”

This sentence was stuttered out by Julian and was hardly comprehendible.

The poor boy was on the verge of tears.

He was initially ignored.

Eyed by Arlo, the left minister answered the boy hurriedly, “Nothing.”

Neither Julian nor Roy understood what it said.

It has spoken in a language foreign to everyone except Arlo.

“We mistook them for someone else. They aren’t the flesh rippers.”

The fish-faced humanoid felt troubled when his eyes landed on the hairless man.

Arlo was standing tall and upright, not at all afraid to be surrounded by 1000 aura beasts.

Rather, the leaders of the thousand beasts felt tense being in his presence.

If there was another grandmaster in Arlo’s shoes, he would have fallen to his knees and begged them to let him go, but not Arlo.

“They are a bigger trouble for us than they are!” The bat questioned the mist and clouds. “My lord and savior, what should we do about them?”

“What’s there to be done about them, you ask? Of course, nothing!”

A portion of it condensed into a 998 cm tall elephant that had two horns on its head.

And… two human-sized tusks jutted out from each side of its nose, protruding 2 meters beyond its mouth.

The divine elephant, better known as Ganesha, the lord of mist and clouds, looked at Arlo with a smile.

An elephant like that smiling was… simply horrifying to see!

“It’s a pleasant surprise to see you after so many years. What made you wake up from your dreams after 15 whole years, dreamer?”

As if to answer him, Arlo pointed out Roy with his thumb. “This boy.”

Ganesha sized up Roy, making the latter feel so uncomfortable that his breath remained stuck in his throat until he moved his eyes away.

“After Ninam, I never thought another one would be chosen to become…” Ganesha uttered subconsciously.

Arlo asked, “Become what?”

“That’s… not for you to know.”

One man and one lord of the realm looked at each other.

The way Arlo was looking at Ganesha turned casual after a few seconds. “Your men are scaring the kids, Ganesha. Don’t tell me you are here to challenge us?”

At his words, the right minister cleared his throat disgustingly and spat on the ground, “Who wants to get bullied by you?!”

The Bat also pointed one of his wings at Arlo fiercely and spoke.

“You have bullied us enough in the past, Arnard! Do you still think we’re the same beasts who would charge at you blindly just because you radiated some battle intent?! No, we aren’t.”

“Your habit of posing a question and then answering it yourself still hasn’t changed.” Arlo chuckled, “When will you grow up, little black?”

“Fuck, don’t call me that!”

“I am no longer known as Little Black,” the bat said, flapping his wings haphazardly.

Arlo’s brows did a jump. “You changed your name?”

“I have been blessed with a new name.” Bat nodded, “I now go by the name Bat!”

“What a silly name.” Arlo couldn’t help but laugh at the dumbass who had been named after his race, “How did you end up being named like that?”

The bat scratched its head with its wing.

“It’s a long story. You are better off not knowing.”

He was unwilling to explain how he ended up with such a name, as he knew he would be made fun of.

Roy didn’t understand a word of what they said.

They were chatting away in a language foreign to him!
