Volume 4 Chapter 255
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 255: I Will Listen
Xia Yi was suddenly astonished to find the King of Storms appearing nearby.
However, what surprised her most was the dragon beside the King of Storms.
Silver dragon hair, a petite frame, features almost identical to her own…
“Xia Lulu!!”
Xia Yi called out her name, disregarding everything else. She ran to Xia Lulu’s side and picked her up.
Xia Lulu’s face was pale, her breathing faint, her condition very poor, causing Xia Yi’s heart to leap into her throat.
“Xia Lulu? What’s wrong with you?”
Yet, no matter how Xia Yi called, Xia Lulu gave no response.
“Don’t let anything happen, Xia Lulu…!”
Xia Yi was nearly frantic with worry, her nose tingling and tears overflowing from her eyes.
She held Xia Lulu tightly.
No matter what, she could not accept Xia Lulu coming to harm, leaving her…
“Silver Dragon Princess.”
The King of Storms attempted to communicate with Xia Yi.
“Silver Dragon Queen. Temporarily. Will not. Die.”
“King of Storms?”
Xia Yi looked at the King of Storms, asking anxiously.
“You’re saying Xia Lulu won’t die, right?!”
“No fighting. Needed.”
Upon hearing the King of Storms’ reply, Xia Yi calmed down slightly. She carefully examined Xia Lulu’s condition once more.
Xia Lulu’s condition was indeed very poor, but she bore no fatal wounds. Perhaps her body had simply reached its limit and collapsed.
At least in this state, she truly wouldn’t die.
“King of Storms? What exactly happened? Can you tell me?”
“Silver Dragon Queen. Collapsed. Vampire Ancestor. Appeared.”
“Elizabeth!”
Xia Yi’s face changed color.
It was likely that Xia Lulu’s battle with Herman consumed too much, her body couldn’t bear it, and she collapsed.
“Before. Vampire Ancestor. Imprisoned. Me. Seized opportunity. Escaped.”
As the King of Storms spoke, his aura was quite unstable.
In Xia Yi’s memory, although the King of Storms’ speech was also halting back then, it sounded robust and powerful, not like now, very weak.
She noticed the soul-flames on the King of Storms’ body, they were just like candle flames in the wind, which could go out at any moment.
Making a rough inference, she understood. Likely, the King of Storms did not die in battle with the bad woman but was imprisoned and held in the capital, nearly killed during that time. Perhaps due to her and Ella’s efforts trapping the bad woman in a nightmare, the King of Storms seized the opportunity to escape and, coincidentally, encountered the bad woman and Xia Lulu at that moment.
“I. Exhausted all my strength. Took away. Silver Dragon Queen.” The King of Storms said.
Xia Yi was still very puzzled in her heart.
Back in the Dragon Kingdom, they had had disputes with the King of Storms. Why would he be willing to step in to save someone?
Nevertheless, she was still very grateful to the King of Storms.
“Thank you, King of Storms. For this matter, our Dragon Clan will remember and grant your undead race recompense.”
“No. Need. Mission. So be it.”
“Mission?” Xia Yi blinked.
What was the King of Storms’ mission?
“Protect. This land.”
When the King of Storms spoke these words, his soul-fire flickered a few times. It seemed this was indeed his heartfelt thought.
This left Xia Yi quite astonished.
The King of the Dead, always feared by the world, whose name ‘Storms’ awed the land, his mission was actually to protect this land?
It was truly inconceivable, just counterintuitive. Anyone hearing it would likely find it absurd to the point of disbelief.
“Truly a great mission,” Xia Yi remarked with emotion.
“Silver Dragon Queen. On her. There is. Cause and Effect,” the King of Storms explained. “If she. Dies. Enemy. Will descend. This is. Omen. Manifestation.”
“Mm…”
By this point, Xia Yi could no longer understand what the King of Storms was saying.
It seemed previously he also mentioned seeing some strange phenomenon before heading to the Dragon Kingdom.
The little princess, with little research into such matters, truly found it hard to comprehend.
But for now, knowing the King of Storms was not an enemy was sufficient.
“Vampire Ancestor. Is coming.” The King of Storms suddenly uttered a chilling statement.
“What? Is Elizabeth coming after us?!”
“Yes.” The King of Storms nodded.
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?! Let’s run away together now!”
“Impossible.”
“Why?”
“Can’t escape. I. Stamina. Exhausted.”
The King of Storms gave the reason.
“This…”
Xia Yi glanced again at the soul-flames symbolizing the undead’s vitality on the King of Storms’ body. She had already anticipated this situation.
The King of Storms likely had no excess energy left to continue moving.
Should she abandon the King of Storms and flee with Xia Lulu?
Even though this would be a very shameful act, merely thinking about it was almost unbearable for the Sword Saint’s self-respect, Xia Yi still considered the possibility.
…But it also seemed to have little meaning. Elizabeth would still catch up.
On the battlefield, no single person could stop Elizabeth.
The bad woman was already angry, she would definitely not let Xia Yi off easily. She would pursue it.
Ella’s Dream Invasion had been used once, it wouldn’t work a second time. Besides, Ella didn’t have that much magical power left either.
Seeking help from others, like finding Tia or the little fox…
Useless.
Within the Anti-Vampire Coalition, no one was a match for Elizabeth. Sending them would mean their deaths before her.
Once, Xia Yi believed that if everyone attacked together, perhaps the numerical advantage of the Anti-Vampire Coalition could create an opportunity.
But within the bad woman’s dream, she had personally witnessed the terrifying power of the Blood Divine Authority’s Erosion and Domination. She also understood that numbers were meaningless before Elizabeth.
She was nearly invincible.
“Dammit…!”
Xia Yi pounded the ground unwillingly, nearly biting through her lip.
Why did there have to be such an invincible enemy? Unable to be defeated, entangled with her, how was she supposed to win?!
Why did such unreasonable things exist in this world? Why did such an undefeatable person have to be her enemy?!
The little princess felt a wave of helplessness, as if she had fallen into quicksand, the more she struggled, the faster she sank…
Just as she was about to fall into despair, a slight stinging pain came from her hand.
This was,
The Holy Sword Brand!
“Gram?”
Xia Yi raised her hand.
She stared, stunned, at the light emanating from the Holy Sword Brand.
Due to years of battling alongside the Holy Sword, she could roughly guess this meant.
The silver dragon loli’s eyes gradually grew firm. Then, she glanced at Xia Lulu, her heart filled with courage.
Indecision vanished from her.
“King of Storms, may I ask a favor of you?”
“You?”
The King of Storms seemed slightly taken aback. He gazed into Xia Yi’s eyes, sensing her resolute will.
“Speak. I. Will listen.”
