Volume 4 + Chapter 94: The Terrifying Legend

“The Dragon royalty is truly… nothing more than this!”

Scott was finally able to hold his head high.

Now he could finally lord it over the Dragon royalty. It was the first time he had experienced such a feeling of elation.

Rebellion is indeed exhilarating!

As they were about to be caught up, the silver dragon stopped at the rear of the fleeing troops.

“ROAR!!”

A dragon’s roar first stunned the dragons who were about to catch up. Amidst the roar, they rolled their eyes back and fell from the sky.

“Hmph, such desperate resistance! Even if you can intimidate a few soldiers, we have thousands upon thousands of troops. Silver Dragon Princess, how will you handle this next?!”

Scott expressed extreme disdain.

He continued ordering others to press forward.

He wasn’t as frantic as his subordinates.

He was the hunter, and the Dragon royalty was the prey. This chase was like a beast pursuing weak herbivores. If he didn’t take this opportunity to toy with them and thoroughly enjoy the sight of the self-proclaimed noble Dragon royalty in a wretched state, it would truly be a waste.

On the other side, Leonard’s adjutant approached and initiated a conversation with him. “Lord Leonard, I feel something is not right.”

“What is it?” Leonard was somewhat puzzled.

“I have a bad premonition. There might be… some dangerous peril here.”

Regarding this topic, Leonard’s adjutant had actually wanted to speak up earlier.

He had been restraining himself, but he couldn’t articulate a clear reason. Spouting nonsense like this would undoubtedly provoke anger.

Now he truly couldn’t hold back.

“Lord Leonard, I think it’s best to capture the Silver Dragon Princess quickly and kill her. That’s the safest course.”

“…Alright.”

After a moment’s thought, Leonard agreed.

In the Far North Lands, a terrifying legend had been passed down since ancient times.

On this land, there existed a mysterious colossal beast.

It always hid within the wind and snow, roaming the Far North Lands like a ghost, its traces difficult to find.

Some dragons had witnessed it, within the blizzard, the shadow of a colossal beast appeared, blotting out the sky and sun.

However, witnesses who saw it would often have their lives taken. Only a very few exceptional cases survived, becoming insane and losing their reason.

A certain madman had once uttered fragments of information about the colossal beast.

The madman said that in the distant past, that mysterious colossal beast was driven out of this land by a great warrior.

The mysterious colossal beast was unwilling. It had been trying all kinds of methods to return to this land, to bring death and destruction.

In areas where it could cast its colossal shadow, it would release its phantom projection, continuously making contact with the lifeforms of this land to achieve its goal of return.

However, no one could face the mysterious colossal beast, not even its projected phantom.

To this day, the mysterious colossal beast still lingers within the blizzards of the Far North Lands…

This was all Leonard knew about the legend of the colossal beast’s shadow.

But none of these legends had actual documented evidence. No historical records existed, and the madman who revealed the information about the mysterious colossal beast remained unknown, no one had seen him.

Even now, dragons who lost their minds after encountering blizzards occasionally appeared, but most still believed it was due to extreme mental stress in the high-pressure environment, being unable to distinguish illusion from reality, mistakenly believing terrifying rumors they had heard were actual facts.

If anyone dared declare the legend of the mysterious colossal beast before Leonard, he would certainly scoff and likely smash the head of the nonsense-speaker.

But today was different.

Leonard did indeed faintly sense a gaze from above, watching this place.

But when he looked up, he saw only a thick curtain of snow.

He deeply disliked this feeling of unease. Better to deal with the Silver Dragon Princess sooner.

“Warriors, do not hold back your means! Use everything today! Kill the Silver Dragon Princess quickly! This is an order!!” Leonard commanded.

The rebel army increased their speed further, pressing closer. In less than ten minutes, they would catch up to the remnants of the Northern Pacification Army and annihilate them.

“Believe in Her Highness the Princess!!” Chelsea gritted his teeth, encouraging the dragons still loyal to the Dragon royalty.

But anyone with eyes could see that the Silver Dragon Princess’s death was almost a foregone conclusion.

With so many rebel dragons practically on top of them, a straightforward charge would guarantee an easy victory.

Could there possibly be any reason to lose??

“Jack, are we almost there?”

The silver dragon quietly asked the Shiba Inu she was protecting in her claws.

“Woof!”

This cute-looking, yet functionally specialized alchemical creature with navigation capabilities pointed in a direction.

“Good, I understand.”

The silver dragon nodded.

Due to the blizzard and the chaos on the scene, no one could detect Xia Yi’s communication with the specialized alchemical creature, nor did they notice that she wasn’t fleeing randomly, but had been heading toward a specific destination all along.

The final destination had actually been presented within the Shiba Inu before they even set out.

“Your Highness?!”

Chelsea noticed the Silver Dragon Princess suddenly change direction, actually flying towards where the blizzard was even more ferocious.

This startled everyone.

But Chelsea reacted quickly. Since it was a dead end anyway—stopping meant death—he might as well follow and believe the Princess could work a miracle.

“Let’s follow! Keep up with Her Highness! Don’t hesitate!!”

The remnants of the Northern Pacification Army turned direction together, plunging into the most dangerous path.

“They’ve gone completely mad!! In less than three minutes, those people will have all their heat stolen by the deadly blizzard!” exclaimed a rebel dragon.

“Do not retreat! I said, we must see the person alive or the corpse dead! We cannot let the blizzard carry their bodies away!”

“Charge together! Watch out for each other! Don’t be afraid! They are doomed, but we will be fine!”

Both Scott and Leonard issued orders, steadying morale, and they charged in together.

The Silver Dragon Princess’s figure gradually blurred. The intense wind and snow interfered with everyone’s vision.

But after crossing a certain boundary, the blizzard… actually disappeared?!

The rebel dragons were thrown into immense astonishment.

“No, the blizzard hasn’t disappeared. It’s being kept outside. This place… has a magical barrier!” shouted Leonard’s adjutant.

“Never mind that! First, find where the Silver Dragon Princess went!!”

Scott was extremely anxious. He didn’t want any accidents.

Under normal circumstances, the Silver Dragon Princess would definitely be ahead…

“Wait… what is that?!”

Everyone simultaneously looked in one direction. A bizarre figure was reflected in the pupils of every dragon present.

That was—A black knight.
