Chapter 135: The Spear That Pierces The Rainbow
In ancient times, during the era when gods and demons roamed freely, all living beings in this world were no more than ants in the eyes of gods and demons. When the gods and demons clashed, it was always the ants who suffered.
Every star in the sky represented a divine envoy or a demonic emissary. These stars symbolized the power of the demon gods: the more stars a demon god controlled, the greater their authority.
Then came Diana, the Goddess of the Moon, who created the moon and rose to dominance. From that moment on, the era of “stars supporting the moon” began.
Eventually, Apollo, the God of the Sun, created the sun, banishing the eternal night of the sky and bringing the world’s first dawn.
It is said that Apollo was a benevolent god. After he took dominion over the sky, he embraced humanity as his followers, guiding them to use his radiant light to build the foundations of human civilization step by step.
Apollo’s High-Energy Ray Cannon
This refers to using the power of Apollo to create a miniature sun that pierces through the darkness, mirroring how the Sun God once created the sun to claim supremacy over the heavens.
At this moment, the replica sun in the sky radiated boundless brilliance onto the earth. Its light bathed the land, offering humanity a beacon of hope.
“Look! This is the work of the gods. This is… the blessing of the divine! The Sun God is watching over us!”
Kerbert spread his arms wide, gazing at the “sun” tearing through the night sky with an expression of utter fanaticism.
Behind him, over a hundred mages operated magical arrays to control the sun. These arrays functioned as remote command terminals, with the sun acting as their program.
The replica sun was steadily charging, its energy mounting with every passing moment, as if it were on the verge of a cataclysmic explosion.
It’s a pity to let such a massive sun go to waste in an explosion.
To ensure it could be used repeatedly, the miniature sun began harvesting solar energy the moment it was created—an effort likened to raising troops for a thousand days, all for this decisive moment.
When the solar storm strikes, it will obliterate Talos City. The high-energy rays will incinerate every living being, down to the bacteria and viruses.
Semiya awoke groggily and stared dazedly at the magnificent sight in the sky.
So this was the Goss Empire’s ultimate weapon…
She had never seen it before.
Now, at last, she witnessed it firsthand, and it truly lived up to its legendary reputation: a force capable of splitting the heavens and severing eternity itself.
The other side.
Meanwhile, within Talos City, Iris analyzed the energy released by the sun that had turned night into day using advanced lifeform sensory techniques.
She quickly deduced the true nature of the miniature sun.
Though Hipper was blind and could see nothing, she felt the descending radiance with her unseeing eyes.
A faint sense told her that the energy contained within this phenomenon was far more intense and overwhelming than the blast that had robbed her of her vision.
Even the foreign envoy, the eldest princess of the Fox Kingdom, Baiyu, silently marveled at humanity’s miraculous creation upon witnessing the scene—a marvel capable of overturning night and day.
Iris turned to look at Naya.
“Naya, I imagine you wouldn’t want to burden Isanara with such a responsibility so soon after her birth.”
“What responsibility?”
“To absorb the impending solar storm.”
Naya glanced down at the baby dragon cradled in her arms. Her brow furrowed slightly.
She understood that Iris’s suggestion meant she had a solution, but it would rely on the “Dragon God” that had only just hatched.
“She’s barely broken out of her shell, and you want her to shoulder this responsibility?”
Her heart swelled with reluctance and anguish. Could this truly be mere coincidence?
Barely hatched, and Isanara was already fated to confront such a catastrophe.
Naya’s internal system explained the origins of the miniature sun. It was one of the Goss Empire’s secret weapons. While Iris and Naya had been infiltrating Talos City, the Goss Empire had transferred this miniature sun into position.
Tonight, with the “supernova” eruption of the Dragon God, the human followers of the Sun God unleashed the miniature sun to peel back the night. It felt like an arms race with Iris to see whose star would shine brighter.
As the solar rays coalesced into a beam, the city would be reduced to ashes in an instant.
The miniature sun was still charging—a deliberate and open threat. The knights of the Goss Empire sought to deliver a single, decisive blow.
They had gone to every length to trap Iris and Naya within Talos City. Once the miniature sun completed its charge, no defense could withstand the destructive high-energy rays—a force even more devastating than the Dragon God’s radiation.
No, it was a power that would surpass the Dragon God’s radiation, annihilating everything consumed by the beam.
“Of course, you could always team up with me.”
At that moment, Iris presented a second option, surprising Naya.
“How do we team up?”
“Didn’t you claim that your Credo offers absolute defense? Lend me a hand, and together we’ll shoot down that sun.”
“We?”
Hearing Iris’s audacious plan, Naya questioned in disbelief.
Iris smiled and nodded.
[Host, trust in your holy spear. It’s a world-class sacred relic, and no one understands annihilation better than Iris. A mere solar high-energy ray is nothing to fear.]
Wow, system, you’ve turned into an Iris fan too.
“Give me the child. We can’t delay any longer. If the sun completes its charge, we’ll all die here. The Goss Empire has surrounded Talos City on all sides. We have no escape… or do we?”
Iris playfully winked.
Trying to trap them? Not such a simple task.
The truth was that Isanara’s birth here was no accident, it was to transform part of the city’s residents into dragonkin.
If they fled now, and the Goss Empire’s Apollo High-Energy Ray destroyed the city, wouldn’t all their efforts and patience over the past days be rendered meaningless?
“Speak clearly.”
“I want to protect my people. Is that acceptable? This city likely has over a thousand residents already affected by the Dragon God’s radiation. Now, they all are our fellow dragonkin.”
“……”
Naya stared at Iris with a look full of doubt.
After hesitating for several seconds, she decided to trust her. She handed the small dragon hatchling to Iris.
“What do you want me to do?”
Iris bent down, holding the dragon hatchling out to Illya.
“Illya, I’m entrusting your little sister to you for protection. Your mother and I are going to shoot down the sun. Make sure you keep her safe, okay?”
“Huh?”
Illya, suddenly called upon, was caught off guard and slightly flustered.
She clumsily took her little sister into her arms, her gaze meeting her mother’s crimson eyes, filled with trust. Illya nodded vigorously.
“I’ll definitely protect my little sister!” she declared firmly. “If anyone dares harbor ill intent toward her, they’ll have to step over my dead body first!”
For the first time, Illya felt an immense weight of responsibility. Her mother was entrusting her with the future Dragon God’s safety—a task of monumental importance!
It also signified her mother’s expectations: that she could stand on her own, that she could shoulder greater responsibilities.
In that instant, Illya fully understood her mother’s intentions and efforts.
Naya looked at Illya’s solemn expression as she accepted her mission, and she couldn’t bring herself to say anything that might shake her confidence.
Moreover, she was willing to trust Iris. If Iris had a plan, it must have its reasons.
“Illya, you must protect your sister. Your mother and I both trust you, so don’t let us down, and absolutely don’t let anything happen to your sister.”
Even though Illya had already declared her determination, Naya couldn’t help but emphasize it again.
Hearing the weight in her mother’s voice, Illya’s eyes brightened once more. With the same resolute tone, she responded:
“I-I’ll definitely protect her! Please trust me, Mama!”
“Your Highness, since you can’t see, let me carry you,” Romina said.
Understanding that Illya would be fully focused on protecting her sister and wouldn’t be able to spare much time to take off the blind Hipper, Romina gently supported Hipper’s shoulders and guided her to her side.
“Let’s go, Naya,” Iris said, extending her hand toward Naya.
[Host, follow Iriss instructions. I’ll also assist you both.]
“Alright.”
Naya responded to both Iris and the voice within her consciousness. She placed her hand into Iris’s.
Iris gripped Naya’s hand firmly and leapt out the window.
Before they landed, a burst of red light erupted. When Naya came to her senses, she was already seated on Iris’s dragon back.
“I’ll carry you to the nearest point. You’ll need to use all your strength to throw your holy spear and pierce the sun.”
“Understood.”
Naya took a deep breath and raised her hand.
“Credo!”
A crimson spear materialized in her grasp, its hue perfectly matching the red dragon beneath her.
“Let’s go!”
Iris spread her wings and shot into the sky like a crimson firework.
Under the gaze of the entire city, a massive red dragon flapped its broad wings, producing a deafening sonic boom. On the dragon’s back, a silver-white silhouette could be seen.
“What is that…?”
“What are they doing? Are they flying toward the sun?”
“Oh my God, are they going to their deaths?”
The residents of Talos City, already awakened by Isanara’s hatching earlier, were startled once more. The sudden emergence of the Apollo high-energy ray cannon had turned the night sky into day, forcing everyone out of bed to witness the spectacle.
Some, still half-asleep, wondered if they had overslept, confused by how quickly it seemed to be morning. Those knowledgeable in magic immediately recognized the false nature of the sun—a harbinger of doom. The false sun continued gathering energy, seemingly ready to explode at any moment.
As long as someone could comprehend Iris’s actions, her efforts had meaning.
The knights stationed at the watchtowers saw the red dragon ascending and immediately summoned additional mages to strengthen the anti-flight barriers in the sky.
“Roar!!”
To avoid colliding with the barriers and slowing her flight, Iris opened her mouth and unleashed a high-energy breath.
The attack burned a massive hole in the barrier.
Mages worked tirelessly to repair the breach, but Iris continued her relentless assault, her fiery breath sustaining an opening wide enough for her dragon form to pass through.
Time froze!
The mages of the Goss Empire blinked—and in that instant, the red dragon had suddenly appeared above the barrier!
What… What just happened?!
It was as though the red dragon had the ability to teleport.
Iris, without slowing down, pierced through all obstacles and ascended higher into the heavens.
The mages of the Goss Empire collapsed in despair atop the city walls, unable to fathom what they had just witnessed.
Henas was sitting more than 10 kilometers outside Talos City, lifting his head to watch the ever-shrinking figure of the red dragon in the sky.
Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on his face.
How really like the dragon clan.
He had anticipated that the dragon clan might have a means to escape, but he had never expected them to aim directly for the sun itself.
The fierce wind swept through Naya’s silver hair, and the lance in her hands began to glow from the heat. In the vast blue sky, it left a trail of fiery red.
With the assistance of the system, Naya’s progress in channeling magic into the holy lance had accelerated significantly.
“Amplify!”
At the same time, Iris beneath her infused her body with amplification magic.
Naya felt as if her entire body was on fire.
She squinted, staring at the blazing sun in the sky. Waves of scorching heat assaulted her one after another.
Any closer, and she might begin to melt.
But Naya was no longer human. Her draconic holy body protected her from the sun’s searing winds. Coupled with the defensive enhancement provided by the holy spear, she could ride Iris freely beneath the blazing sun.
[It’s time, host.]
“This strike will pierce the stars!”
With all her strength, Naya hurled the spear.
It was like an ant trying to shake a towering ancient tree.
“ROAR!!”
Iris unleashed a burst of dragon breath, merging it with the spear and propelling it toward the sun with increasing speed.
The powerful recoil sent Iris tumbling backward.
In her final moments, Iris poured every last ounce of her power into the attack. Only when her magical strength could no longer keep up with the spear’s momentum did she finally cease her breath.
From the ground, people looked skyward.
A fiery red comet streaked toward the sun.
They watched as the comet plunged into the solar construct, which shattered completely in a blinding explosion.
After a brief delay, a deafening roar echoed across the heavens.
The sun had been destroyed.
Blistering heat waves swept across the land. Fortunately, without the high-energy solar rays, as long as people stayed sheltered indoors, they were unlikely to be burned alive.
In one night, two spectacular “supernovae” had unfolded in succession, leaving many stunned onlookers utterly bewildered.
But at the Goss Empire’s camp outside Talos City, the knights were thunderstruck.
Their meticulously planned dragon-slaying operation had been reduced to nothing.
As the booming sound of the sun’s destruction reached him, Kerbert’s mind went blank.
“My… sun…”
Not only had the Apollo high-energy rays been neutralized before firing, but even their artificial sun had been obliterated by the dragons.
Kerbert fell to his knees, staring upward as dazzling fragments of light scattered across the sky, their brilliance searing his eyes.
Semiya clutched her bruised forehead, beginning to understand why her brother had been so certain of their defeat.
Indeed, they were doomed to lose.
The Dragon Queen hadn’t fled, instead, she had turned around and destroyed their secret weapon.
The belief that they could encircle Talos City and force the Dragon Queen to escape had been a grievous underestimation.
This supernova spectacle lasted throughout the night.
Only at dawn, when the true sun rose, did the false sun begin to dim, its remnants drifting to the ground like starlight.
Kerbert raised his hand to catch the last fading rays of light. For the first time, he understood the true meaning of despair.
……
“We did it! Iris, we really did it!”
Naya, her legs tightly gripping Iris’s dragon back, shouted with exhilaration.
“When we work together, nothing is impossible,” Iris replied, her tone carrying a faint hint of amusement.
When a couple’s hearts are united, their strength can cut through iron; when they act as one, they can pierce the sun.
Iris flapped her wings slowly, preparing to return to Talos City.
“Wait, don’t go down yet. I need to wait for my holy spear to return.”
And so, Naya waited.
She waited until the sunlight faded, until the real dawn broke—but her holy spear never returned.
[System, where’s my holy spear? Why hasn’t it flown back yet?]
[Apologies, host. Your holy spear has gone beyond our control range. Furthermore, after operating under extreme overload, the spear has experienced a sort of shutdown. At present, its location is unknown.]
“…”
“Naya, are we still waiting?”
Waaaah, my precious holy spear!
[However, the soul binding is still active. Keep going, host! Moving forward, you’ll have to find your holy spear and reactivate it. Once you do, it will still be yours!]
[I seriously suspect you did this on purpose! You deliberately made me cooperate with Iris, knowing I’d lose my spear, and now you’re forcing me into a new quest, aren’t you?!]
The system fell silent.
Naya hugged Iris’s back, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.
“Let’s go back.”
That spear had been crafted from the spear core left behind by the previous system. Trusting the current system’s schemes had caused her to lose it. How could Naya not feel heartbroken?
Translator’s Note: I decided to drop this Yuri Novel because there’s many other Yuri Novels that I’m more interested in and I wanted to focus on them instead.

Ah, thanks for the translation.
Indeed, the novel became increasingly uninteresting, and I forced myself to read it, too. I fully understand the decision to stop translating this novel, because I wanted to do the same.
It was good at first, but the longer the novel gets annoying because the large number of yabg characters is annoying as well.
