While the side of Kayden and the rest were almost about to be resolved, the situation on Baobao's side is not getting better.

It turns out that even in the torrential rain, the Cardinal is a hard opponent to deal with.

That is because even if he didn't use the curse power to defeat Baobao, he continuously used his spell to create a distance with him, not allowing Baobao to land another blow to his body.

Baobao's expression became serious, the Cardinal is a mage with superb skills and fast casting time.

He did not even need to take into account if he would run out of mana as he was also rich in magical artifacts as one of the highest-ranking priests after the Pope.

In the process, Baobao was repeatedly hit by the attack spells and could only do his best to dodge and close in to have the opportunity to fight back.

Unfortunately, after he could even dodge an offensive spell another spell would wait for him in another direction, making him become battered.

His soft silky black and white fur was now filled with wounds and even burn marks. His fluffy head had a bloody wound that extends down to his neck, dyeing his white fur red

"Your attack earlier is nothing but a fluke. Now you can only be at my mercy, cursed bear." The Cardinal taunted Baobao.

"I'm not a cursed bear, I'm a Panda!" Baobao narrowed his eyes the moment he heard the Cardinal mock him with the ancient name people usually called his species.

Ever since Eli made his species public, no one had ever referred to him as a cursed bear. Everyone treated him and his kind as a rare bear called Panda.

Besides, to be called 'cursed' by a curse user was extremely insulting to Baobao's identity.

"So what, it's just a mere name and you cannot change your nature!" The Cardinal scoffed and replied to Baobao with a provoking expression.

"Take back what you said." Baobao retaliated with a warning tone.

But the Cardinal could only see a cursed bear being provoked and non-threatening. To him, he was just a contracted beast that had lost his ability to fight because of their incompatibility in battle styles.

"Heh…" He chuckled in disdain before he raised his hand again to attack Baobao.

Boom! Shiuuu!

One spell after another, the combination of earth and wind spells landed on Baobao's body one after.

Even so, the determination in Baobao's eyes did not dim the slightest. Not only was his enemy full of evil, he even insulted his beloved Panda race!

"Baobao, are you alright there? We are coming for you." While he was struggling, Eli's voice rang in his head.

"No need for a master, I can handle things here. Go and look for the secret room." Baobao immediately replied.

"Please do not lie to me, I can feel that your state is not in a good condition," Eli answered with a tone of worry.



"I am a really fine master, it's just that this Cardinal… insulted my beloved Panda race," Baobao replied, the grudge in his heart could be felt in the tone he used.

"I see, even so let us help." Eli did not use any long string of words to convince Baobao.

Just a simple sentence is enough to remind him that even if it was something completely personal to him, Eli and the rest are willing to help.

Even if it was just a petty grudge.

"… Then I would have to thank my master…" Baobao answered feeling warm inside him.

To him, Eli was not only his master but a person who shed the light on the deepest doubt in his heart.

He had lived for years in a myth that was passed down by his ancestors, beating himself up for a preconception that does not even carry any truth.

He had wandered in Prasions wanting to find a solution to his 'condition' so desperately, just like what his fellow pandas have done.

In the end, it was Eli herself who told him the truth and made him embrace everything about himself.

His dark panda eyes and black paws are a sign of his rarity and specialness.

"En… wait for us. We cannot find the secret path in the stone bed anyways. So we will just go up and fight with you." Wisey replied to Baobao's reply instead.

In the beginning, there are only three of them in this fantasy world, living peacefully in the woods with a warm anticipation of Little Han coming into the world.

Now it was the three of them again, who were fighting for that peace they longed for in the family they had at the moment.

For Little Han, Leon, Kayden, and the rest.

They were together to fight!

The smile on the Cardinal's face bloomed wider and wider at the moment.

Even as he was greatly weakened by the torrential rain, the cursed bear in front of him could no longer do anything with him now that he knew all the other party's tricks.

Too bad, the cursed bear in front of him had a hi,gh endurance, and a fast speed. That is why he too had a hard time dealing him a decisive blow.

But when he saw that Baobao's movement slowed down, even appearing a little bit distracted, he rejoiced in his heart.

'It's time to finish things..' He thought.

The time is not favorable to him because somewhere inside, the master of the contracted beast in front of him might even know how to activate the mechanisms in the laboratory.

He had to work fast!

The next moment, his attacks became intensified and ruthless. He did not even care if his attacks damaged the already chaotic first-level laboratory.

Boom! Boom, Whoosh!

All he wanted at the moment was to quickly finish the fight and go straight to the basement.

At one point he saw that Baobao paused for a moment, looking like he was distracted by something.

"Die, you cursed bear!" He shouted as he cast one spell after another. This is the right opportunity to kill the opponent once and for all!

"You are the one who is going to meet his end." Just as he thought that he had already achieved victory at that moment when a cold unfamiliar voice rang behind him.

Bang!

Not expecting for someone to suddenly appear, the Cardinal received a huge blow on his back, the same intensity as how he received the first few attacks from Baobao earlier.

Once again his body flew like a kite with a broken string, but this time his body was flying towards Baobao's direction - the very one he tried not to get close to!

His eyes widened in death as he tried to immediately cast another spell to stop the trajectory of his body toward Baobao.

But it was as if a rope had been tied on his body that no matter what earth spell was conjured to force his body to pass, his speed and trajectory did not even slow down nor deviate!

Panic flashed in the Cardinal's eyes, full of disbelief at the things that happened.

The last image he saw was Baobao standing up and stretching wounded paws, pointing at him.

Shhhhhhhk

His neck landed exactly on Baobao's paws. Gripping it tight, his other hand decisively clawed the Cardinal's heart ending his life without even knowing who was the other party who gave him that blow in the back.





Plop!

His lifeless body fell on the ground, his proud and futile life gone just like that.

Baobao no longer looked at him and immediately approached Eli and Wisye who were the ones who caught the Cardinal off guard.

"Many thanks, master, Wisey!" Baobao replied with gratitude.

He knew very well that the one who attacked the Cardinal was Eli and the one who put the restrictive spell on the Cardinal was Wisey. The combination of their attacks made the opponent be in Baobao's merch.

"Drink this potion to heal your wounds. Then let's go to the basement once again." Eli nodded and looked at him worriedly. She took out one of Kayden's healing potions and wished for Baobao to recover.

"Yes, master." Without delaying any further, Baobao took the potion and waited for his injuries to heal.

Eli monitored his condition and also found the injured fellow from the cheetah clan unconscious on the ground.

"He should have been attacked by the cursed beast earlier…" Wisey said as she saw the other party's injury.

Eli also took a healing potion to attempt to heal his condition. At the moment, she could only do such a thing because Kayden was not with him.

However, just as she was thinking about his brother, Kayden had already called out from afar.

"Eli!" shocked to see Eli above ground with the injured Baobao he rushed toward her and examined her condition.

"I am not hurt, but Baobao and this fellow are injured heavily," Eli replied.

Seeing that Kayden could already go to her side also meant that the situation was already settled. And so for Eli, checking the basement on the ground is no longer urgent.
