Volume 4 Chapter 187
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 187: Xia Yiyi Is Amazing!
Xia Yi, chanting in Draconic, summoned the Black Knight with whom she had formed a summoning contract.
The Black Knight had just appeared and immediately repelled the Vampire Clan palace guards who were trying to capture Xia Yi.
The imposing Black Knight made the Vampire Clan members tremble.
“Don’t be afraid! There’s only one of him, and we far outnumber them! The advantage is ours!!”
The captain of the Vampire Clan palace guards tried to rally his subordinates.
“The Divine Ancestor is still dealing with the Storm King and has no time to spare here! We must share the Divine Ancestor’s burden! This is the Silver Dragon Princess the Divine Ancestor brought back, we absolutely cannot let her escape!!”
The Vampire Clan members, who had been somewhat frightened, actually regained their composure upon hearing the words “Divine Ancestor.”
“Take them down, Black Knight!!”
Hiding behind the Black Knight, Xia Yi triumphantly issued the combat command.
In reality, though, she understood that the Black Knight was different from ordinary summoned creatures. The Black Knight basically didn’t obey the summoner’s commands, was quite difficult to communicate with, and was notoriously capricious.
Xia Yi’s shout was just to add a bit of momentum.
“…”
The Black Knight picked up a long spear from the ground.
Black miasma seeped out from beneath his gauntlets, enveloping the entire spear. Then, the blood-like crimson patterns on the jet-black armor flowed, extending along the armor onto the spear, etching red patterns onto it as well.
What had seemed like an ordinary soldier’s spear now became a pitch-black spear gleaming with a faint crimson light, as if corrupted by the Black Knight’s style.
“Roooooaaaarrrr!!”
A frenzied roar erupted from beneath the Black Knight’s visor as he raised the spear high.
In full view of everyone, the Black Knight hurled the spear in his hand towards the crowd of Vampire Clan members. Like a streak of black light piercing through a meteor, it violently exploded amidst the throng.
BOOM——!!!
The powerful fighting spirit channeled into the spear detonated. Terrifying energy erupted instantly, engulfing the Vampire Clan palace guards. The shockwave transformed into a gale, spreading outwards from the epicenter of the explosion, even tearing up the surface of the ground. A black mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
“Th-this…”
Xia Yi shielded her face with her arms. In the fierce wind, her eyes were forced shut.
It seems the Black Knight went a bit… too far!!
How could a weapon picked up casually have such tremendous power?
“My mana…?!”
Xia Yi realized that her remaining mana had dropped significantly after the Black Knight launched his attack.
As the Black Knight was a summoned entity, the mana he used naturally had to be supplied by Xia Yi.
The Black Knight’s attack just now had indeed consumed a considerable amount of mana.
Fortunately, Xia Yi was of the Silver Dragon Royal Family, with an inherently enormous mana capacity. An ordinary mage would probably have been completely drained.
“That’s enough, Black Knight, stop there! I want to escape from the Vampire Clan palace, not wipe out the Vampire Clan.”
Xia Yi pleaded.
If the Black Knight kept fighting like this, her mana consumption would be too great.
But deep down, she wasn’t sure if this Black Knight would actually listen.
“…”
The Black Knight, still gripping the spear, turned his head to look at Xia Yi, staring for several seconds.
It was unclear what the Black Knight was thinking, but then he walked over to Xia Yi, weapon in hand.
“Black Knight?”
Xia Yi looked up at the Black Knight, a confused expression in her eyes.
Clang!
The Black Knight actually threw the spear in his hand onto the ground. His next move was to bend down and gently pick up the little princess in his arms.
“Huh? Black Knight, you…?!”
Xia Yi was very surprised.
The Black Knight actually listened to her?
“…”
The Black Knight simply held Xia Yi, motionless.
Previously like a rabid beast, he was now quiet, as if awaiting instructions.
Xia Yi blinked. She didn’t know which way to go either, so she just pointed in a direction.
“Black Knight, let’s go that way!”
“…”
The Black Knight, still holding Xia Yi, began moving in the indicated direction.
“Damn it, this summon is too powerful… We must request the assistance of the Princes to deal with it…”
Despite being injured, the captain of the Vampire Clan palace guards struggled to his feet and shouted in a weak voice:
“Quick, give chase! Don’t let that Silver Dragon Princess escape. Follow them closely!!”
Some of the Vampire Clan palace guards who could still move initiated a pursuit of Xia Yi.
“What’s wrong with these Vampire Clan members? They’re acting crazy!”
Seeing the pursuers behind, Xia Yi couldn’t understand it at all.
In the hearts of these Vampire Clan members, Elizabeth seemed like a deity, and they were her loyal devotees.
For the sake of their worshipped deity, they were even willing to sacrifice their lives.
“Fireball!”
As the Black Knight carried Xia Yi in his escape, Xia Yi cast magic, using fireballs to bombard the rear, blowing away any Vampire Clan palace guards who dared to pursue.
…
“Where is this place?!”
Xia Yi was lost in the vast Vampire Clan palace.
During this time, the Black Knight had been carrying her around the palace in their escape.
Despite the protection of the Black Knight and Xia Yi’s magic preventing the Vampire Clan palace guards from harming her, being lost was a serious problem. In a place like this maze, she had no idea where the exit was.
“Got it! Maybe I can try this method!”
A sudden idea occurred to Xia Yi.
If she were pulling pranks back in the Dragon Kingdom palace, she could use this trick to get away…!
“Black Knight, stop!”
“…?”
The Black Knight seemed puzzled but still halted.
Coincidentally, there was still a bit of time before the pursuers caught up.
She took off her outer garment, then used magic to create an ice mannequin, dressed it in the garment, making it look like a dummy.
“Black Knight, you take the dummy and run, drawing the Vampire Clan’s attention. When the time is about right, destroy both the dummy and the clothes, then cancel the summon!”
The Black Knight seemed to understand. He took the dummy wearing Xia Yi’s outer garment and began to run.
Meanwhile, Xia Yi found a quiet, unoccupied room nearby, opened the door, and hid inside.
“Hurry, chase them! The Black Knight and the Silver Dragon Princess are right ahead!!”
“I see them!”
“It’s the Black Knight and the Silver Dragon Princess!”
Inside the pitch-black room, Xia Yi heard the commotion outside. The pursuers all passed by without searching.
Once the crowd had completely passed and it was quiet outside, the silver-haired loli smiled.
“It seems my usual pranks weren’t entirely in vain, they had meaning!”
Xia Yi felt extremely smug. First, she took a moment to place her hands on her hips proudly.
This way, those Vampire Clan members would definitely think she had run off with the Black Knight.
After the Black Knight canceled the summon, the Vampire Clan would find nothing and assume she had already left the Vampire Clan palace.
Afterwards, it would be a matter of waiting for an opportunity, slipping out secretly when everyone had let their guard down…
“That wicked woman Elizabeth will end up being completely outmaneuvered by me!” Xia Yi said with disdain.
“That’s right, Xia Yiyi is amazing!”
“Hehehe, of course she is!!”
