Chapter 1062: Strongest Subordinate And Array Repair
King Yun Guiren continued to talk about the Cruel Helm Octopus for a while and Lin Wu understood most of the things by now.
“Alright, that should be enough.” Lin Wu spoke.
“How will you be dealing with the Cruel Helm Octopus though, King Lin Wu?” King Yun Guiren questioned.
“Oh, I won’t be dealing with it.” Lin Wu replied much to his surprise.
“Huh, what? Didn’t you say…” King Yun Guiren was now confused.
“Someone else will do it instead.” Lin Wu said while looking at Tim.
King Yun Guiren followed his gaze and saw that Lin Wu meant the beast he had brought along with him. The man had paid attention to Tim at the start, but had ignored him after bringing Lin Wu here.
To him, Lin Wu was a lot more important than some other random beast he might have brought along with him. Being a beast king, it was well known that Lin Wu had many beast subordinates, and seeing that Tim had followed Lin Wu’s orders, he had thought the weasel was just one of them.
But that was greatly different than asking a subordinate beast to deal with the Cruel Helm Octopus.
After all, even if Lin Wu had strong beast subordinates, there was still a limit to how strong they could be.
At least this was what King Yun Guiren and many others thought, not knowing it was quite wrong.
“Yes, he’ll handle it.” Lin Wu confirmed. “He is Tim, the Myriad Obsidian Weasel.” He introduced.
“But… Will he… I don’t want to offend King Lin Wu, but will he be able to match against the Cruel Helm Octopus?” the king asked in doubt.
Several other people had the same question in their mind. To them Tim didn’t look as threatening as Lin Wu. Not to mention, the energy fluctuations coming from Tim were naturally restricted due to his unique body.
In fact, they couldn’t even tell the cultivation base of Tim.
“Ahaha! It’s fine.” Lin Wu chuckled in expectation. “He might not seem like it, but he’s my strongest subordinate.” He revealed.
“The Strongest Subordinate!?” Several people said out in shock.
Tim had been sleeping for a long while and had not done anything in public technically thus information about him was greatly limited. This was Lin Wu’s method of raising Tim’s identity and letting it become a bit normal.
After all, Tim was anything but normal and if people were used to him, it would be better in the future.
Lin Wu could even send out Tim to do some tasks if need be. The current situation was going to be a trial for him.
“Yes, he is my strongest Subordinate. His powers are quite strong, even if it does not seem like it.” Lin Wu replied. “Don’t worry, you’ll get to see it yourself perhaps.” He added.
~huu~
King Yun Guiren took a breath to calm down and nodded his head.
“Very well, we’ll trust in you King Lin Wu.” The man spoke.
“Mmhmm.” Lin Wu hummed in response before looking at the system’s screen.
‘How’s the search going system?’ Lin Wu questioned.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: Traces of an Immortal Ascension realm beast have been found. The probability of it being the Cruel Helm Octopus is 98.4%.
——
‘That’s plenty good. Mark it on the map and we’ll get to it.’ Lin Wu stated.
Having ordered that, Lin Wu saw a new marker appearing on his map.
“Let’s get to work then, shall we?” Lin Wu said, before raising his head.
“You’re heading out, King Lin Wu?” King Yun Guiren asked.
“I’ve found the Cruel Helm Octopus.” Lin Wu answered.
“Already?!” King Yun Guiren couldn’t believe his ears.
“Yes… he isn’t that far actually.” Lin Wu said while glancing at the map.
The marker was inching towards their direction now.
“It’s here?” The people were stunned. “We need to get the others ready!” They said hurriedly.
“It’s fine.” Lin Wu said instead before tapping his tail on the ground.
~SHUA~
A wave of energy spread out form his body, while thousand of runes formed around him. The runes attached themselves onto the Formation array of the Cragfall city and started to change the array.
“The array! It’s being fixed?!” King Yun Guiren had never thought that he would ever see this happen in his lifetime.
He had gotten many formation masters to take a look at a great expense, and yet it was to no avail. And now the beast king Lin Wu was fixing it.
King Yun Guiren would have never thought that a beast would be so proficient in formations.
The people watched as the entire array started to change and many new sections appeared in it. The reach of the array also expanded, soon covering the entire length of the Cragfall city.
It was originally like this, but over the years, the outer edges of the array had collapsed causing it to shrink in size. This was also why the defenses of the city were stronger in the middle, as the castle was the core of it.
But with Lin Wu and the system’s modification, the array was strong no matter what angle it was attacked from.
~RUMBLE~
About five minutes later, the array was fully repaired and took on a new look.
The people here had seen the array for several years and could clearly feel the difference. It wasn’t just a visual difference either, since the energy fluctuations of the array had greatly changed as well.
“The ancestors will smile in the afterlife if they could see this…” King Yun Guiren muttered in joy.
~CRASH~
Just as the array was fully repaired, the sound of a large wave could be heard. The ocean rolled and crashed into the cliff side.
“LOOK!” The people pointed to the ocean.
~SPLASH~
The ocean shifted, as a large body rose from it. It was over fifty meters wide and looked to be covered in black carapace of some kind.
“Right on time… There’s our Cruel Helm Octopus.” Lin Wu said. “Well then Tim… I choose you!”
