Chapter 172: Vulture cliff

After flying for an entire night without stopping, Victor finally reached the place that he most dreaded.

’Vulture cliff’ As the name suggests, this is the place where all of the previous vulture kings reside. The catch here is that the entities that resided here were not alive but dead. Yes, the spirits of every vulture king after their demise dwelled here while guarding the ’Spirit wings’

’Spirit wings’ is the treasure of the vulture tribe. It was strengthened by the spirit of powerful vulture kings. In the past, many were eager to get hold of the spirit wings but all of those ambitious beasts are dead.

No one until now knew the powers hidden inside the spirit wings because no one could even reach it in the first place. But Victor knew only one thing. He must get hold of that no matter what. He was not even sure if it could save people’s lives but he wanted to try. He would try his best until his last breath to save those cubs.

Because saving them equaled his mate’s well-being and happiness. The other day when she collapsed, Victor felt his entire world crumble down to the ground. He could never see her like that again in his life.

He flapped his wings and landed on the cliff. A dark cave came into his view and without any hesitancy, he drifted inside it. There was no time for him to waste at this moment. If he was right then the prince of the fox tribe must have frozen the poison inside the cubs’ bodies and stopped it from reaching their hearts for the time being. But that would not last long.

Those cubs are still young and wouldn’t be able to contain so much ice power in their little bodies. In the worst-case scenario, they could freeze to death if the power stays for a long time. So they had minimal options as of now. Getting an antidote might help but Victor was not sure about that anymore. He knew that Kyrell went to seek the antidote from Gregory.

But would Gregory readily hand over the antidote to him? Victor doubted it. Even if Kyrell did manage to beat it out of him, then that merman could once again trick them by giving incorrect or incomplete antidote like last time. Worst, he could give poison in the place of antidote and none of them would be able to do anything because they are the desperate ones here.

That vile merman will have all of them in his mercy while they would have no choice but to follow all of his pathetic orders without a hitch.

Victor thought that it is better to die than to put his mate in such a scenario. All of them including Noah would have the same thoughts. Yes, Noah wanted to save his cubs but at the cost of his mate’s life? No, he would always choose her and only ’Her’

’Swoosh’ he came out of his thoughts when he felt the harsh wind slapping against him. If not for his vigilance, the sword-like wind would have injured his wings. So he moved in the direction of the wind and wandered further inside the cave.

After a few moments, the wind abruptly stopped and he was instead greeted by a blazing fire in his view.

Bird beastmen loathed fire. The abrupt forest fires that sometimes occurred hindered them to no end. But worst of all is that they were unable to fly in that situation. They would have to sacrifice their wings if they decided to face the fire.

He got on the ground and turned into his beastman form before moving forward. One thing that he was sure of is the fire is not real. It makes no sense for a fire that big to suddenly appear inside a dark and damp cave. But he did not want to take a chance with his wings, so it seemed better for him to move in his beastman form.

The next thing that bothered him is the familiar aura surrounding him. It was the ambiance of the same filthy beastman that he killed in the past.

And as he expected, the same face that tormented him for years came into view as he turned around. Those sharp dagger-like eyes that always scowled at him still made Victor uncomfortable.

"Father?" A bland voice left his throat. Victor tried his best to suppress his anger as he glared at the bastard in front of him. His father. The one who should have taken care of him at his young age instead tortured him. And the reason for doing such a thing was because Victor’s mother died during giving birth.

All of his other siblings that were born with him died because of his father’s torture but Victor was the last one remaining. Maybe that’s why his father took all of his remaining anger on Victor’s younger self.

But the only thing that he couldn’t understand from the beginning was why his father didn’t kill them when they were still inside the eggs. They were bird beastman and smashing the egg into hard rock was better than going through the pain of incubating them for days for him to only harm them when they were born.

As days passed, Victor came to realize the reason for that. It was because his father’s sadistic self couldn’t bear to kill them easily. He wanted to make sure that they were alive and awake before tormenting them. In short, his father was a madman, and Victor still felt proud of eradicating such a man from the beast world.

So the one standing in front of him right now was just the spirit of his father. He couldn’t help but remember Killian’s words before he left the rose castle. Killian warned him about the possibility of him coming face to face with his father but did Victor care? Hell No!

He is not the same scared child from the past but the present vulture king. He has someone waiting for his return home and he was not all alone anymore. And most of all, he has already killed his father once, and erasing this stupid spirit now was not difficult for him
