Volume 3 Chapter 180
by Need_More_SleepVolume 3 + Chapter 180: Exceeding The Limit
The Disaster Beast trio were stunned when they saw the changes on Xia Yi’s body.
Just moments ago, she was still a human girl—a black-haired loli. But suddenly, a transformation occurred, turning her into a silver-haired, silver-eyed dragon loli.
A dragon?
In the human realm, an ordinary human might never see a dragon in their entire lifetime.
Even encountering a mutated beast is far more likely than meeting a dragon.
Everyone’s understanding of dragons remained at the level of book knowledge and stories. No one had ever seen one in the flesh.
Yet the Disaster Beast trio had now actually witnessed a living dragon.
“You… you’re actually a dragon?!”
“No wonder. So that’s why you have such overwhelming power.”
“Truly unexpected… that a dragon would disguise itself as a human and infiltrate the human realm. No wonder we lost to you before—that makes sense now.”
Compared to humans, dragons were indeed strong.
But we have already surpassed humanity.
So what if you are a dragon?
Before the great Will, even dragons must crawl upon the ground!
The Disaster Beast trio were utterly confident; not one of them had the slightest thought of retreat.
“I said it already—I’ll give you ten seconds to run.” Xia Yi repeated once more.
“Run? Do you think we’re afraid? How could that be?!”
Kobe, on the contrary, grew even more excited.
“Good, good!! If you’re a dragon, then defeating you is even more meaningful. Killing you—wiping you out—will be all the more satisfying!”
“It seems you really don’t understand a single thing.”
“What?”
“What I mean is that I never planned on letting even one of you go. You’ve already angered me. Even if you try to run, it won’t make any difference.”
Xia Yi’s gaze swept across the three, finally settling on Kobe.
“After ten more seconds, I’ll begin the slaughter. Starting—” Her eyes locked coldly on him. “—with you.”
Hearing such words filled with provocation and mockery, the anger in the hearts of the Disaster Beast trio was completely ignited.
Arrogance.
Just as the records said—dragons truly were an incredibly arrogant race.
“Ten.”
Xia Yi began the countdown.
“Don’t be so full of yourself, damn dragon! Do you really think your race is so noble by birth that you can look down on us?! We have already surpassed ordinary life forms. We’ve been reborn, transcending even your dragons!!”
A crimson light flared in Kobe’s eyes.
All four of his arms gripped his swords tightly as he launched an onslaught like a raging storm. His sword aura stirred up howling winds, even severing the rain that fell around him.
In that moment, he was as strong as a demon god!
However…
Xia Yi stood where she was, not taking a single step. She merely waved the Rose Staff in her hand, blocking every one of his attacks—never letting a single sword light fall upon her.
She didn’t even use her other hand.
The heart is as calm as a still mirror.
Maintaining that state of mind, none of Kobe’s attacks escaped her eyes.
“Nine.”
“Eight.”
“Seven.”
Xia Yi’s countdown continued steadily.
“Impossible! This is impossible!!”
Kobe roared in rage. He pushed himself to his very limits, releasing an even stronger surge of calamity energy, raising his sword speed further and further.
But Xia Yi seemed to toy with him, effortlessly matching his pace, her counters growing faster with every exchange.
The silver-haired dragon loli seemed to declare to the world that this level of power—was nothing more than play.
This humiliation drove Kobe mad with fury.
He had become a Disaster Beast—so why did he still feel this crushing sense of powerlessness?
“Six.”
“Five.”
“Four.”
The countdown neared its end.
James realized he couldn’t just keep watching. He had to join the battle.
Furious Thunder Diamond Fist!
Just as before, while Xia Yi was locked in fierce combat with Kobe, he launched a berserk charge.
“Three.”
“Two.”
“One.”
However…
Just as James was about to slam into Xia Yi, something strange happened.
Her figure blurred and vanished, leaving James charging straight ahead—finding no target.
Kobe’s swords cut through empty air.
“Where did she—?!”
“Zero.”
The merciless voice of the countdown rang above Kobe’s head.
Xia Yi had moved—to the top of his head!
“You’re strong. But I am stronger.”
That was the last voice Kobe ever heard.
The next instant, he felt a cold sensation on his neck, and then his vision toppled downward.
His head fell to the ground—where he saw his own…
Body?
In Xia Yi’s hand was a sword—one she had taken from one of Kobe’s four arms.
So I was cut down by her…
As that thought crossed Kobe’s mind, Xia Yi spun around and hurled the sword. It pierced the Disaster Beast’s hardened body—head and all—pinning it to the wall.
Sword qi erupted along the wall in branching patterns, while the Disaster Beast’s core shattered, stealing away Kobe’s life.
“I told you—you were the first.”
Xia Yi looked at James, who stood frozen in shock.
“You’re the second.”
Disaster Beasts were creatures dominated by the Will of Calamity.
Calamity’s sole purpose was to annihilate all life on this earth. Guided by that Will, fear was an impossibility.
They would offer up everything for Calamity—including their own lives.
Even after witnessing Xia Yi’s strength and their comrade’s death, only one thought remained in James’s mind—
Rage!
“Frank!! What are you standing there for?! Avenge Kobe!! Kill this bastard!” James roared.
“Got it!!”
The Disaster Beast Frank had already grown wings. He spread them and soared into the sky.
The most crucial part was—he had two heads.
With two heads, he could chant two spells at once. This was dual-casting!
Add in his ability to fly freely in the sky—keeping enemies from getting close—and the mutations bestowed by Calamity completely erased a mage’s usual weaknesses. In short, with one word—
Overpowered!!
“Let’s see how you handle magic that’s off the charts!!”
At this moment, Frank was truly an overpowered monster.
He began dual-casting movement spells.
“Thunderclap Storm! Rend the heavens—”
“Voice of the Earth, resound! Tear open the land—”
On the ground below, James charged with Death Rush. His body swelled to several times its size, now like a small mountain—an unstoppable war chariot.
“Berserk Charge!!”
Xia Yi lifted the Rose Staff, silver eyes glowing faintly in the rain.
The bloodline of the Silver Dragon Royalty activated—incantations of restraint flowed forth.
“Instant—Thorned Halo.”
“Instant—Armor of Rebound.”
“Spear of Earthrend.”
In an instant, she cast three spells.
James slammed straight into Xia Yi.
The first two spells took effect—the massive impact rebounded onto James himself, shattering his defenses under the force of his own blow.
At the same time, spears of earth-element erupted from the ground, piercing his enlarged body—impaling him through and through.
The Disaster Beast’s core shattered. James was dead.
“Ice Barrier.”
Xia Yi instantly unleashed an ice spell.
Boom!
Frank’s dual-cast spells struck home—but failed to break through Xia Yi’s barrier.
She raised her Rose Staff again, aiming at the winged Disaster Beast in the sky.
“Fireball.”
Three massive fireballs appeared in the air—simple and unadorned.
Frank, as a Disaster Beast, couldn’t understand—why did her magic power seem endless? Why did she not even need to chant? Why was her magic so devastating?
He tried to flee the fireball’s range, but instant-cast magic was unreasonable—fireballs detonated in midair, waves of flame devouring him whole.
“Aaahhh!”
Frank screamed as he plummeted from the sky. Then he sensed the surge of magic in front of him. Looking up, he saw—
Xia Yi’s Rose Staff, charged with a Lightning Arrow, ready to pierce his head.
“Sorry—but the power of the Silver Dragon Royal Bloodline, exceeding all limits, is far beyond you.”
