Chapter 25 He Is The New Chief
However, no one dared to voice these words in front of Karina.
After Lorcan finished speaking, he spotted Karina and hurried over to look her up and down. Seeing that she was unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“What happened, Rina? Has someone been giving you a hard time?”
He rolled up his sleeves, clearly ready to stand up for Karina.
He didn’t even ask about what had happened.
A warmth spread through Karina’s heart as expression. She gave him a small smile. “I’m fine, Mr. Lorcan. I’m not the one in trouble.”
She looked at Lorcan’s concerned and caring
“Mr. Lorcan, have you leveled up?” Zareth asked in surprise upon sensing the newfound strength within Lorcan.
Just earlier. Lorcan, in a fit of anger, had unleashed the power of his earth–type talent.
That power was clearly something only a Level–Two beasthuman could possess!
“Yeah. My abilities had been stagnant for so many years. After absorbing Rina’s beast crystal, I leveled up, and now I’m at Level Two.” Lorcan nodded, openly admitting to it.
His voice resonated powerfully, robust and commanding.
As he spoke, he intentionally raised his voice, wanting the beasthumans to know that Karina still had him as her support.
To his surprise, as soon as these words were spoken, Karina’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Lorcan, you’ve advanced to Level Two? That’s perfect!”
Draven also slapped his thigh, reacting swiftly. “Isn’t the most suitable candidate for chief right
here:
All the beasthumans looked toward Lorcan, their faces full of admiration.
Mostly, it was agreement.
“Mr. Lorcan is an elder in our tribe, and his strength is now Level Two. I have no objections if he becomes the new chief”
“If you have no objections, then neither do 1!”
“I support Mr. Lorcan as the chief!”
Although Lorcan wasn’t often present in the tribe, whenever he encountered fellow tribespeople in troubla in the forest, he would

Therefore, he was quite popular.
Lorcan wore a bewildered expression, still yet to react.
“Being chief?”
What were they talking about?
Finished
Seeing everyone looking at him with eager anticipation, Lorcan was completely bewildered.
Draven was quick with his words, swiftly recounting the events that had transpired.
Only then did Lorcan notice Aethor, collapsed to one side.
His gaze turned icy as his expression darkened. “You old fool, how dare you send Corvus off to be a beast slave!”
He swung his fist through the air, and in an instant, a thick earth spike protruded from the ground, piercing Aethor’s kneecap!
Aethor screamed in agony once again, clutching his knee. His face contorted with pain and although he tried to swear, no words came out.
These people are crazy! Is it really necessary to hurt me every time someone comes along? Why can’t they come at me all at once!
For a moment, the pressure exuded by Lorcan was palpable. Aside from Karina and the other two who were also at Level Two, all the other beasthumans displayed eyes filled with fear.
At the same time, a sense of admiration and respect was born in their hearts.
Having such a powerful figure as their chief, they had absolutely no objections!
Draven was quite astute. Seeing the situation, he clapped his hands and declared, “Since everyone is in agreement, then from now on, Mr. Lorcan will be the new chief of our Darkvale Tribe!”
Having said that, he turned toward Lorcan and called out obediently, “Greetings, Chief Lorcan!”
The other beasthumans also chorused in unison, “Greetings, Chief Lorcan!”
Behind him, Xelrik was so angry that his face turned purple.
Everything seemed to be going just fine when Lorcan suddenly appeared.
Are Level–Two beasthumans now so worthless?
Despite his reluctance to admit it, his advancement to Level Two was undeniably due to Karina’s beast crystal.
If it weren’t for Karina’s beast crystal, he would be no different from the other beasthumans.
Chapter 25 He Is The New Chief
Karina! She must be my nemesis, born to be an obstacle in my way!
Otherwise, how could her pillar of support have now become Karina’s?
Finished
Lorcan had no initial intention of becoming the chief, but when he realized that it would be beneficial for protecting Karina, he didn’t reject the idea.
Raising his hand, he addressed everyone. “I, Lorcan, promise to fulfill the duties of a chief and. protect our tribe to the best of my abilities!”
His robust voice, coupled with the authoritative presence he’d just demonstrated, far from being off–putting, actually instilled a profound sense of security in everyone present.
This was a world of beasthumans where the strong were revered.
No one cared anymore about Aethor’s fate.
Aware of their inability to deal with Karina, Avani and Haleira discreetly slipped away when no one was paying attention.
“Now, it’s time for you to speak.”
Squinting her eyes, Karina looked toward Aethor, whose face was contorted in pain and anguish.
In another cabin in the Darkvale Tribe.
A middle–aged beastman with dark skin was busily moving about, rummaging through boxes and
cabinets.
“Dad, what are you looking for?” Ariel asked curiously, having just returned from fetching water outside.
“That black dagger. I recall leaving it in this wooden box. Strange, it’s gone missing. Ari, have you seen it?”
Wracked with frustration, her father was desperately digging through everything.
Upon hearing this, Ariel’s body stiffened, her face showing a hint of embarrassment.
Noticing his daughter’s prolonged silence, Maegor Solandis sensed something was amiss. He turned around, a frown creasing his brow, and asked, “Ari, do you know where it is? Quickly fetch it for me. I need it urgently.”
“I can’t produce it, Dad.” Ariel, who was usually brash, suddenly lowered her voice considerably. meekly saying. “That knife, I… I’ve already given it away…”
Immediately, Maegor’s eyes widened..
