Volume 4 Chapter 186
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 186: The Vanquished Princess’s Great Escape
“Hehehe, hahaha!!”
Xia Yi placed her hands on her hips and laughed heartily.
Even though she was still wearing handcuffs, she had already blasted the bed frame to pieces with magic and was now free to move.
She wasn’t foolish enough to just wait here for Elizabeth to return and decide her fate.
“Alright, starting now, the great escape of the vanquished princess officially begins!” the little princess declared confidently.
After all, her current actions were practically identical to those of the protagonist in the manga!
Every time the manga’s protagonist was captured and taken to the enemy camp, left without allies in seemingly hopeless situations, didn’t they always manage to turn the tables and escape successfully?
Therefore, there was no reason she couldn’t get away.
But before leaving this place…
“Hmph, Elizabeth, you wicked woman, I must properly mock you!”
Xia Yi left a magic mark on the wall.
When Elizabeth returns to the room, she should be able to see the message left behind.
It featured a chibi-style portrait of Xia Yi sticking out her tongue, accompanied by an extremely taunting remark—
“Wicked woman, I’ve already run away. You can’t catch me, never neever~!”
“Perfect. I can already imagine how furious Elizabeth will be when she sees my message.”
Xia Yi was quite satisfied. She stood before the room door and found it locked.
A minor issue, though.
“Fireball!”
Boom!
Xia Yi summoned a fireball, easily blasting the door to pieces, and stepped out, surveying her surroundings.
It seemed Elizabeth hadn’t lied to her, that wicked woman had indeed taken her from Adenai to the Vampire Clan’s royal palace.
Right now, the interior of the Vampire Clan palace seemed to be in great chaos.
“The Divine Ancestor is suppressing the Storm King. Should we go help?”
“Help with what?! The Divine Ancestor has already given the order for us to evacuate!”
“With our level of strength, how could we possibly intervene in a confrontation of that magnitude? Don’t go and become a burden to the Divine Ancestor!!”
Listening to the conversations among the Vampire Clan members, Xia Yi gradually understood.
Right.
Previously, the Storm King had been defeated by Elizabeth. Many rumors claimed the Storm King was destroyed, but judging by the current situation, it was more likely he hadn’t been killed and was instead imprisoned by Elizabeth.
The current situation was probably the Storm King trying to break out of his prison, causing this chaos.
“That Storm King really has some skill,” Xia Yi remarked with feeling.
No wonder he dared to go to the Dragon Kingdom back then to ask Xialulu for the former emperor’s corpse. If any other race tried something like that, they’d have died countless times over.
This was good too. Storm King, you must keep trying hard to keep Elizabeth occupied.
The silver-haired loli silently cheered for the ruler of the Undead Race in her heart.
“Ah!! You’re… a Dragon?!”
A servant of the Vampire Clan palace spotted Xia Yi.
“Alert! The one the Divine Ancestor brought back—”
Whoosh!
Under the effect of Chanting Restraint, Xia Yi cast a magic spell without incantation. An ice hammer flew out, hitting the servant on the head and knocking him unconscious.
“…Not good.”
Xia Yi looked left, then right, realizing she had a problem.
She was completely unfamiliar with the layout of the Vampire Clan palace and had no idea which way led out.
“Left or right?!”
After a moment’s thought, Xia Yi felt that if she hesitated any longer, she’d be discovered sooner or later. She had to take action.
“Alright, decided!! Men left, women right!!”
Without thinking carefully, she instinctively ran to the right. But after just a dozen steps, she realized something.
Wait!
Men left, women right—I should run left. I’m a pure, tough guy!
Xia Yi came to her senses and was about to turn around when she noticed some Vampire Clan palace guards heading this way.
“Why is this person collapsed here… Wait, isn’t that the Dragon the Divine Ancestor brought back?!”
The Vampire Clan palace guards shouted.
“Alert!! The Dragon the Divine Ancestor brought back has escaped! Hurry and capture her!”
“Damn it! I haven’t fallen from grace, this was forced upon me!”
Now Xia Yi had no choice. She couldn’t run left, so she could only charge forward without looking back, heading right.
Because a silver dragon loli was far too conspicuous in the Vampire Clan palace, many people spotted her.
The Vampire Clan palace guards gathered, planning to surround and forcibly arrest her.
Under normal circumstances, these low-level guards were no match for Xia Yi. She could have sent them flying with a wooden stick without even needing the Holy Sword. But now, with the handcuffs limiting her draconic power and preventing her from using her usual strength, she could only rely on magic…
Oh.
Right, magic!!
Xia Yi suddenly remembered something else.
“Stop running, Dragon. You’re surrounded!”
The Vampire Clan palace guards encircled Xia Yi, their weapons all pointed at her.
“Give up now, surrender! You have no way out!”
However, Xia Yi wasn’t nervous. She was muttering under her breath, chanting draconic incantations.
“Not good, she’s casting magic! Interrupt her, quickly!!”
Some among the guards recognized what was happening and cried out in alarm.
Some reacted swiftly, brandishing their weapons and charging forward.
After all, interrupting a mage’s casting was common sense.
Currently, Xia Yi lacked her draconic power. Unless she forcibly interrupted her current spell to cast another, she couldn’t repel so many at once.
However, Xia Yi was a bit special. In fact, while escaping earlier, she had been softly chanting draconic incantations all along.
Other mages, to ensure casting stability, would definitely focus and chant while stationary.
But Xia Yi’s magical talent was no joke. The lineage of the Silver Dragon Royal Family was truly exceptional, allowing her to perform some special maneuvers. Even casting while on the move was within her capabilities.
As many Vampire Clan palace guards swarmed forward, Xia Yi finally finished her chant. Magical light shone brightly, and a summoning circle intertwined with red and black appeared at her feet—
“Help me, Black Knight!!”
“Urghaaaa—!!”
Accompanied by a beast-like roar, a knight clad entirely in armor was summoned by his contractor. Rampant fighting spirit erupted, sending all the Vampire Clan palace guards flying.
The crimson patterns on the jet-black armor glowed faintly in the night, like flowing blood covering his entire body. Simultaneously, a terrifying aura emanated, immobilizing the Vampire Clan palace guards.
The Black Knight shielded Xia Yi, his gaze sweeping over everyone. His murderous intent seemed to convey a clear message—
Step forward, and you die.
