How awkward, shocking, and helpless it must have been for someone who didn't know how to step down.
Lilly continued to swing the branch in her hand as she asked kindly, "Do you need help getting up?"
Rory lay on the ground without responding for a long time, his shoulders trembling as if he were crying.
Lilly suddenly felt a bit guilty and stepped forward with an apologetic expression.
"Are you okay? Don't cry. I can go easy on you later, or I can let my pet fight you instead."
Rory raised his head in anger. "Shut up!"
He wasn't crying!
He was angry!
Lilly nodded before stepping back to her original position. She said kindly, "Actually, your soul summoning just now wasn't very good. You didn't summon the Black Tortoise beast soul at all. You just summoned a bit of the beast soul's residual power... You know that, don't you?"
Rory's back teeth were grinding, and he sneered. "What do you know? I summoned the Black Tortoise beast soul! It's just that the mythical creature beast soul hasn't fully returned yet..."
Lilly shook her head. "No. It's not. Trust me."
He was about to be angered to the point of vomiting blood. He gritted his teeth as he said, "You sound so confident. Can you summon the Black Tortoise?"
The loyal elders behind Rory quickly defended him. "Exactly! You're just a little girl who doesn't understand anything. Stop talking nonsense!"
"You admit that you can't summon it either. It's not your field, yet you're still showing off!"
"We tomb keepers suffered a backlash from the beast soul and were unable to fully control it... You just took advantage of that. Do you really think you defeated us tomb keepers?"
"That's right! We tomb keepers were able to summon the terrifying Black Tortoise beast soul. It's already a rare talent in ages!"
Lilly thought, I've seen stubborn people, but never this stubborn.
She grinned and said humbly, "I'm indeed not in this field, and I can't summon the Black Tortoise beast soul, but my pet can!"
"Squeaky!" The small ghost beast immediately jumped out and used all four paws to climb onto Lilly's shoulder.
Lilly said, "Give them a scare!"
The small ghost beast roared with its fierce face.
The descendants of the witch clan were puzzled.
Was she here to make a joke?
The next moment, a huge totem lit up behind the small ghost beast, and the four great mythical creatures of ancient times roared. They had all appeared!
The Black Tortoise stepped on a human skull, and its eyes burst with sharp light as it stared directly at Rory!
It let out a low roar from its throat, and at that moment, the pressure rolled over. Rory's knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground!
The descendants of the witch clan also felt weak at their knees as they all prostrated on the ground in panic while shouting, "The Black Tortoise... It's really the Black Tortoise!!"
Not only the Black Tortoise beast soul, but also the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird beast souls were all there...
Rory's face turned pale. How could this be... How could this be?!
How could the Black Tortoise beast soul be with her?
