Volume 4 Chapter 253
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 253: Erosion And Domination
“What is… that?”
Xia Yi gazed towards the imperial capital of the Holy Crimson Empire, witnessing an astonishing sight.
Moments before, howling wind and snow had swept in from the direction of the capital, filling even the peripheral battlefields with swirling snowflakes. The temperature plummeted rapidly, as if plunged into the depths of winter.
And now, a colossal mountain range of ice had appeared in the sky above the capital. Its shadow engulfed the entire city as it descended. The impact caused the earth to tremble violently, triggering a massive earthquake.
That familiar magical energy was…
Xia Lulu!
Xia Yi had never imagined that Xia Lulu possessed such terrifying power.
“Is that Her Majesty the Queen?! I’ve heard that when the Queen reaches the peak of fury, she unleashes the Judgment of the Dragon King!” the squad leader exclaimed in shock. “Almost no one has ever witnessed the true form of the Judgment! Because those who experienced it have long since vanished forever from this world!”
The other dragon soldiers wore expressions of utter astonishment.
It was simply too shocking, power on a level capable of destroying nations. The strength of the mightiest King of the Upper Races far surpassed imagination.
“…Is this the power of the Silver Dragon Queen?” Tia widened her eyes. “The depth and foundation of the Dragon Clan is truly terrifying. No wonder they can stand against all the myriad races of the world with the strength of a single clan.”
Not only them, but various races across the other battlefields also witnessed this scene.
Xia Lulu’s intervention this time would undoubtedly rewrite everyone’s impression of the Dragon Clan once more.
“We’re going to win! Her Majesty the Queen is definitely going to win!!” the squad leader said excitedly. “Even Herman could never escape the Queen’s Judgment!!”
“Xia Lulu…”
Xia Yi lowered her head.
She believed Xia Lulu would absolutely win, that she would never abandon her.
But why did her heart feel so filled with worry and unease?
“Xia Yi, I need to return to my troops,” Tia said to Xia Yi. “I must go command the human army. I can’t stay here much longer.”
“Mm.”
Xia Yi nodded. She could understand.
After all, Tia was now the Knight King. It was already somewhat irregular for her to come here alone to help. She bore heavy responsibilities and had to lead the human forces.
Shortly after, Tia left the area.
“Your Highness, we should also join the battle… ugh…! Cough, cough…!”
The squad leader broke into a fit of coughing.
Ever since being injured by Herman, he had been forcing himself to endure.
Xia Yi glanced at the other dragon soldiers. Their condition wasn’t good either. Returning to support the armies on the main battlefield now would be a stretch.
“Captain, take all members of the Anti-Vampire Task Force and fly towards the Anti-Vampire Coalition’s rear forces, using the least dangerous route possible. Seek treatment there. Once you’ve recovered, rejoin the battle!”
“…Alright, I understand.”
The captain knew pushing himself would yield no good outcome. For now, it was best to calmly follow his princess’s orders.
“Your Highness, what about you?”
“I’m going to take a look at the capital.”
“Your Highness, that’s far too dangerous!”
“The seals on me have been removed. I can move freely, and I won’t act recklessly,” Xia Yi said. “I want to confirm the outcome of that battle just now. If Xia Lulu was injured in the fight, I’ll bring her back.”
“…Understood,” the captain nodded. “Please be extremely careful in all matters.”
…
…
Holy Crimson Empire, Imperial Capital.
Due to Xia Lulu’s terrifying magic, the entire capital had been plunged into a state of paralysis. Panic was everywhere.
The Vampire Ancestor stood before the collapsed dragon girl. She could roughly sense that this Silver Dragon had pushed her power to the limit to defeat Herman, causing herself to collapse.
Simultaneously, an idea formed in her mind.
“I recall your name is… Xia Lulu · Christie, correct?”
Drawing from Miu Miu’s memories, Elizabeth remembered the identity of the silver dragon loli before her.
From appearance alone, she looked exactly like Xia Yi. Rather than mother and daughter, they seemed more like twins.
She also knew that Xia Yi’s former identity was the Sword Saint from the human world. Now transformed into a Silver Dragon Princess, the most likely scenario was…
“It’s the Dragon Clan’s curse, isn’t it?”
Elizabeth possessed some knowledge regarding the Dragon Clan.
For the Dragon Clan’s curse not to kill the human Sword Saint, but instead grant her the bloodline of the Silver Dragon Royal Family… that was nothing short of a miracle among miracles, an unprecedented situation not even found in examples from the Mythic Era.
One point in particular held Elizabeth’s intense interest.
That was Xia Yi’s attitude towards Xia Lulu.
Whenever she mentioned Xia Lulu in front of Xia Yi, Xia Yi would become visibly agitated.
Now it seemed clear, Xia Lulu must hold extraordinary weight in Xia Yi’s heart for her to care so deeply.
In that case…
“Blood Divine Authority.”
Elizabeth bit her fingertip, drawing blood. Simultaneously, a divine halo materialized behind her.
She would use her Blood Divine Authority to erode Xia Lulu.
Given Xia Lulu’s current utterly terrible state, she would be absolutely incapable of resisting the erosion.
Afterwards, Elizabeth would further employ the domination ability within her Blood Divine Authority, turning the eroded Xia Lulu into a puppet to fight against Xia Yi.
For Xia Yi, that would be an abyss of despair.
When the time came, would she raise her blade against her already precarious and fragile mother?
How truly expectant.
“Erode.”
Elizabeth’s blood droplet fell. The moment it landed on Xia Lulu, she would completely lose her self-will…
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a streak of black energy shot forth, intercepting and scattering Elizabeth’s blood droplet in mid-air.
“Who?!”
Elizabeth turned her head with extreme displeasure towards the direction of the attack, but saw nothing except a vast expanse of white snow.
…A feint?
Realizing this, she immediately spun around. Mid-turn, from the corner of her eye, she saw a shadow emerge. A massive figure expanded its own domain, enveloping the surrounding space.
It was an utterly unexpected figure!
“Domain of Withering, Fully Deploy.”
The instant she heard the voice, Elizabeth suddenly remembered something.
During her time trapped in the nightmare, her control over the Infinite Blood Prison would have been at its lowest point. At that time, Daleks would have had the perfect opportunity to break through the control.
“Silver Dragon, Destiny, Not Yet Arrived,” said the King of Storms.
Darkness enveloped Elizabeth’s vision. Her body withered, her five senses seemingly stripped away, unable to perceive anything around her.
“Blood Magic · Blood Detonation!”
Elizabeth detonated a portion of the reserves stored within her Blood Sea, causing a violent explosion around herself that shattered the surrounding domain.
She used the Blood Sea to heal herself, restoring her vision at the fastest speed.
However, she saw no one.
The complete domain unleashed by the King of Storms had bought an extremely brief moment. Yet, that tiny sliver of time was more than enough for an escape.
Both Daleks and Xia Lulu had vanished without a trace.
