Volume 3 Chapter 181
by Need_More_SleepVolume 3 + Chapter 181: Complete Madness
Frank looked at the lightning in front of him, showing an expression of astonishment.
He now understood that he had lost.
In terms of magical talent, the opponent was far more domineering than himself—simply unreasonable.
Although his magical talent as a human was already quite good, after receiving the breath of Calamity, which transformed him into a Disaster Beast, he gained traits that even magicians longed to obtain.
However, there was still quite a gap compared to the silver dragon before him.
“Ahhh!!”
As a believer of Calamity, he was not allowed to make any act of begging for mercy.
Since he was a Disaster Beast, he would fight to the last moment to eradicate all life.
He got up from the ground and lunged toward Xia Yi.
The electric light from the rose staff burst forth, piercing through Frank’s body and blowing it apart, sending both heads flying and rolling onto the ground.
The core of the Disaster Beast shattered, marking the death of the last member of the Disaster Beast trio.
It was Xia Yi’s victory.
“It’s over.”
Xia Yi put away the rose staff.
Now, she had lifted the suppression of the curse on the dragon race, and compared to her disguised human form, her strength had undergone a qualitative leap.
In her current state, if she wanted to protect those humans and fight against Calamity, she could definitely do it.
However, considering humanity’s level of hatred toward dragons, what would happen afterward…
Since she was once human, she could roughly predict what those people would do.
Exposing her identity would bring her immense trouble.
But since the decision had been made, Xia Yi would not regret it.
“Now, the greatest threat is…”
Xia Yi’s gaze turned toward the east, where she felt an extremely strong aura of Calamity and the roars of monsters.
The eastern magic circle had already been destroyed. With no obstacles left, the legion of Calamity was advancing from the east toward this place.
The same applied to other directions as well.
The magic circles in three directions had all been destroyed, and the monsters were pouring into Laurel Tree Academy, converging toward the only remaining northern magic circle, slaughtering every living thing they encountered along the way.
Since the infirmary was located slightly to the east within Laurel Tree Academy, Hill was leading the civilians and the wounded from the infirmary toward the north of the academy.
It wouldn’t be long before the eastern Calamity army caught up and slaughtered all the humans Hill was leading.
They would definitely be unable to reach the northern magic circle.
“…There’s one more thing.”
Xia Yi’s line of sight shifted to the central area of Laurel Tree Academy.
There was a laurel tree hidden there.
During the monthly exam, Xia Yi had received a special reward—a token to enter the central area.
Her primary goal was to obtain the gift left behind by Xia Lulu.
The best-case scenario would be for Xia Yi to go to the central area now, get Xia Lulu’s gift, and then rush to the northern magic circle to protect everyone.
But if she did that, she wouldn’t be able to stop the eastern Calamity army’s pursuit. Those monsters would absolutely catch up to Hill.
“Could it be that there’s no way at all… Do I have to give up Xia Lulu’s gift?” Xia Yi frowned.
Was there truly no method to block the eastern Calamity army, to buy herself time to retrieve Xia Lulu’s gift from the laurel tree, and also buy Hill time so she could lead those humans safely to the northern magic circle…
Wait.
Xia Yi’s expression changed slightly.
Suddenly, she thought of a way—a perfect way to solve this problem.
“That’s right, I still have this method!”
Xia Yi smiled, raised her hands, and began to channel her magic, chanting an incantation.
And the incantation she chanted—was in Dragon Tongue.
On the ground, a magic circle glowing with blue light appeared.
The symbols flickering on the magic circle were also draconic runes.
As the draconic runes were chanted, the originally pure magic circle gradually turned into a murky darkness, with red lightning crackling within it.
Whoosh!
A jet-black pillar of light shot straight into the sky, even blowing away the rain clouds above Xia Yi’s head.
The magic circle continuously drained an outrageous amount of magic power from the caster.
But it didn’t matter—Xia Yi was a silver dragon of the royal lineage and could withstand such an absurd magic consumption.
Once Xia Yi had filled the magic circle with her magic power, she loudly summoned her contracted creature—
“Come forth, Black Knight!!”
A pitch-black gauntlet reached out from the pillar of light, then gripped its edge and violently tore the pillar apart along with the light itself.
A knight clad in black armor from head to toe appeared.
This was Xia Yi’s currently contracted summoned creature—the Black Knight.
“Black Knight, long time no see!”
Xia Yi ran up to the Black Knight.
“…”
The Black Knight lowered his head and stared at Xia Yi.
“Black Knight, it’s an emergency right now—I need your help!!”
“…”
The Black Knight remained silent.
“From the east, a horde of monsters is coming. Can you help me drive them all back?” Xia Yi asked. “Please help me buy some time!”
With the Black Knight’s strength, dealing with those monsters would be more than easy.
“…”
The Black Knight still remained silent.
“Huh?”
Xia Yi blinked.
She knew that the Black Knight was an exceptionally difficult type of summon to control.
Although she had prepared herself mentally, she was still surprised to see him show no reaction at all.
“Um… Black Knight?”
“ROAR!!!!”
The Black Knight suddenly let out a beast-like roar.
This sudden outburst startled the little princess greatly.
“AAAHHH!!!!”
The Black Knight was completely like a berserk beast, ripping a streetlamp from the roadside and wielding it as a weapon, coating it with black battle aura, and slamming it hard onto the ground.
“Whoa, whoa, Black Knight, what… what are you doing?!”
The ground shook violently as if struck by an earthquake.
Xia Yi almost lost her footing.
The Black Knight swung the streetlamp again and smashed it into one of the academy’s classroom buildings.
Boom!
The building collapsed in an instant under the Black Knight’s strike.
“Wait, Black Knight, I just wanted you to help…”
“RAAHHH!!!”
The Black Knight began indiscriminate destruction, smashing everything in sight with the streetlamp, venting his rage without distinguishing between friend and foe.
“This…”
Xia Yi was dumbfounded.
She started feeling thankful that she hadn’t summoned the Black Knight earlier.
Even if she ordered the Black Knight to protect humans, he probably wouldn’t care—he might slaughter them all along with the enemies, faster than Calamity itself… He didn’t obey any orders at all, only fought!
However, the task now wasn’t to protect, but to fight against Calamity—this shouldn’t require him to maintain any rationality.
“Leaving the Black Knight here. He’ll encounter the eastern Calamity army soon enough.”
Xia Yi muttered anxiously.
“If it’s just buying me some time, the Black Knight should be able to manage… right?”
