Bab 80: The King Is Born

Sabnock, the Corrupted Lion of the Miasmic Lands, strode forward with an air of confidence. His azure fur swayed as his many eyes fixed on the path ahead, disregarding both Rest and Ryubace, who stood in his way. Sabnock, a king by birthright, ignored them and continued his march.

"GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Sabnock had been destined for royalty from the moment of his birth. He was born in the very heart of the Miasmic Lands, a territory ruled by survival of the fittest. His parents, a pair of powerful Corrupted Beasts, had conquered and secured this territory after defeating numerous rivals. When Sabnock was born, along with four other cubs, they immediately began a deadly battle of cannibalism. Only Sabnock survived, devouring his siblings and solidifying his place as the sole ruler.

"If Sabnock could speak the language of humans, perhaps he would have declared, 'I alone am supreme under heaven.'"
