Volume 5 Chapter 134
by Need_More_SleepVolume 5 + Chapter 134: The End of Takamagahara
Xia Yi declared the White Night Cult Leader’s defeat.
To him, it made no sense.
Even if the awakened sword possessed immense destructive power, if it could not touch him, it meant nothing.
Hidden within the storm, Xia Yi’s strike had indeed been blocked by the Yasakani no Magatama’s barrier.
In short, the advantage was his.
Next would be the Azure Fox God’s counterattack.
Yet what he felt was the arrival of death.
“N-No way!!”
Seeing what appeared before him, he screamed hysterically.
A massive dragon silhouette, concealed within the snow curtain, emerged, wielding a radiant golden ice greatsword that cleaved through the storm.
With Xia Yi’s feint and the storm’s cover, by the time he realized it.
It was too late.
The greatsword descended upon the nine-tailed fox, severing tails and piercing his body.
The self-proclaimed god was struck from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground as divine blood stained the snow red.
“This shouldn’t be possible!” he cried. “This is the body of a Fox God, how could an ice weapon harm me?!”
Collapsed on the ground, he looked utterly miserable, like a stray dog, devoid of divine radiance.
Struggling to focus, he finally saw the truth.
It was not a real dragon, but a colossal silver snow dragon formed of ice.
“That snow dragon was created using my Silver Dragon Royal blood,” Xia Yi explained. “Frozen blood served as its power source, granting it the strength of a Dragon King. As for that weapon…”
As her words ended, the snow dragon, having exhausted its blood, disintegrated into drifting snow.
The ice greatsword shattered, revealing a conspicuous object within…
The severed Holy Sword fragment.
Even in that state, it remained fully unleashed.
“An ice greatsword embedded with Holy Sword fragments can destroy your Fox God body,” Xia Yi said.
Using the blood she had shed, she amplified the snow dragon, akin to manifesting her true draconic form.
This was an unprecedented fusion of Dragon King and Holy Sword power.
Though both dragon and blade would collapse after exceeding their limits, that single strike had reached the pinnacle of Higher Species Kings.
“…”
The White Night Cult Leader was speechless.
“Your ambition has been shattered,” Xia Yi said.
She picked up the other fragment and pressed it together.
In a flash of golden light, the Holy Sword was restored to its complete form.
The silver-haired dragon girl advanced step by step, leaving footprints in the snow, like death itself approaching.
“Why… why… WHY?!”
His eyes were filled with confusion.
He could not understand his defeat.
Every step, his preparations, the Fox God lineage, years of planning, flawless strategy, sacrifices, divine artifacts, domain control, had been perfect.
Nothing should have failed.
Even his brief panic had been corrected.
So why… Did Xia Yi win?
What had she done?
Why couldn’t he win?
“Damn silver dragon, the victor should be me!!”
Gravely wounded, he staggered to his feet.
Despite severed tails and blood loss, he refused to accept defeat.
“I am the god!!”
He released all remaining divine power, no longer sustaining his life.
Azure flames surged, evaporating the snow.
He became a raging, irrational beast and charged.
Xia Yi almost laughed.
To her, this was self-destruction.
She could simply vanish into the storm and wait for him to die.
But she did not.
That was not the way of a Dragon King.
A Dragon King crushes enemies with overwhelming power, leaving them in despair.
“Disappear, defeated one.”
She raised the Holy Sword and struck.
Golden sword energy pierced his heart.
The flames extinguished.
His body froze, turned into ice, and shattered into fragments, his death complete.
The newborn Fox God…
Was ended by the Holy Sword.
The storm ceased. The domain faded.
Without control, Takamagahara collapsed, shrinking until it vanished entirely.
The sacred jewel dimmed. The gateway closed.
It was over.
Xia Yi looked at the Holy Sword, wanting to thank it.
But she could no longer speak.
Exhaustion had reached its limit.
Thud.
The little princess collapsed into the snow.
