Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
Two and a half meters tall, and had two meters front legs that could be folded. It was not just a normal leg, but a real blade. Its blade-like mandibles were quite terrifying to behold. One could imagine what would happen if you fell to this giant mantis.

The blade part was not the only thing that made Blade Mantis looked different from the normal mantis. From the neck to the wings were made of silver steels, pretty hard to break from the look of it while the abdomen was normally green.
It did not take long before the Blade Mantis made its move first. The silver wing flapped and flew toward them. The Beast King did not fly above the tree, but below the sparse trees.
Without any chain of command, the Tarriors and slaves spread out. While the humans were splitting up, the Blade Mantis was not confused by them. The target was one, Tang Shaoyang who was in the front most.
Tang Shaoyang was standing still while Zhang Mengyao moved. She raised her shield and blocked the incoming blade.
Clank! Clank!
The two sharp blades clashed against the shield, causing a spark. The Blade Mantis did not give up, it sent out a barrage of slashes, but none of them could reach Zhang Mengyao. She read all movements and blocked the blade with the shield.
The Blade Mantis let out a small hiss from the mandibles, clearly unhappy all the blades were blocked.
"Yes, Moon evolved to stage-3 yesterday," Li Na rushed forward and replied in the stead of Moon who could not communicate but his Master. Her face brimming with a smile while answering.
"Good choice, we don't need the quantity but the quality. Focus on Moon first before you summon the second one," Tang Shaoyang praised Li Na for her decisive decision. He thought the girl would ask him again whether to evolve Moon or get a new summon since it cost her a lot to evolve the summon. The summon was strong, but she had to pay a high price for that.
'I hope [Mana Perception] will help her,' he thought to himself while coming over to collect the Level 8 Treasure Chest.
Hu Feng and the other three Shield Bearers witnessed the battle with their jaws dropped down in amazement. If he did not use [Basic Detection] on The Blade Mantis, he might think the mantis was just a weak beast instead of a Beast King.
Hu Feng let out a chuckle as he looked down at the two shields in his hands, "We are not needed it seems," Zhang Mengyao alone was enough to be in the front line. Combined with their Boss's destructive power, Beast King was just walking in the park. It was completely different when they fought the Wartusk.
The other three Shield Bearers nodded their head subconsciously. This was the first time in a while they watched Tang Shaoyang's fight. Compared to when they faced the zombie horde, their Boss clearly had become a lot stronger.
At this moment, a strong wind blew the forest. The gale was strong enough to bend a smaller tree. Everyone immediately looked up.
Tang Shaoyang also looked up and a grin formed on his lips. Right on the top of them was a lion with a wing. The wingspan was around ten meters, each flap of the wing sent a strong gale.
A lion with a red mane and a wing hovered on their top. The lion scanned the large group of a human before the red pupils landed on the dead Blade Mantis. The red eyes flickered with fury and scanned the human one by one. With just a quick scan, the lion immediately locked the eyes at Tang Shaoyang.
"Human! You have broken the balance of the Clarity Forest. As the Guardian of the Clarity Forest, I will punish you with death!" The lion let out a roar.
