Volume 4 Chapter 210
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 210: The Tails’ Duel
Within her own mental space, Xia Yi waited contentedly for Elizabeth to finish feeding, after which she would regain control of her body.
This way, Elizabeth would become familiar with her aura and she wouldn’t have to be bitten…
It was simply a brilliant, two-birds-with-one-stone plan.
To her surprise, for some reason, Inner Demon Xia Yi suddenly returned to the mental space, pounced on her, and even engaged in more extreme behavior.
Inner Demon Xia Yi’s tail entangled itself with Xia Yi’s tail.
Among the Dragon Clan, when two dragons’ tails entwine, this action represents—
“Eeek!!!”
Xia Yi let out a shriek, her face ashen from the shock of the current situation.
“Inner Demon, stop this right now!!”
“…”
Inner Demon Xia Yi remained silent, giving no response. Her eyes looked quite abnormal, and she showed no intention of stopping.
“Inner Demon, say something!!”
Xia Yi tried calling out, but it had no effect.
If this continued, she and her inner demon would do something irreversible!!
Just imagining it made her feel like her brain was about to explode.
Under normal circumstances, the primary personality and their inner demon were supposed to be locked in a struggle against each other, engaging in a life-or-death battle over ownership of the body, where one would perish forever, and the survivor would gain everything.
But what was happening now?
Xia Yi was about to be had by her own inner demon!!
Probably nothing more outrageous than this could happen in this entire world. Getting intimate with one’s own inner demon—what kind of absurdity was this?!
“Inner Demon, remember!! You’re supposed to kill me, not have me!” Xia Yi shouted. “Come kill me instead!!”
But Inner Demon Xia Yi simply couldn’t hear Xia Yi’s words. Her fingers moved, like little fish slowly swimming across Xia Yi’s body, gradually heading downwards…
Xia Yi was truly bewildered.
Based on her inner demon’s personality, she would never willingly engage in such an act with her.
The reason for this situation must be because—
Xia Yi seemed to understand now.
It must be because she made Inner Demon Xia Yi take the fall for her, getting bitten by Elizabeth, which subjected her to intense mental stimulation, causing her self-awareness to become blurry and unclear now.
This delirious feeling from being fed upon had twisted the perception of pain into pleasure, dominating her consciousness and leading to this behavior.
“No!!”
Xia Yi unleashed the power of the Dragon Clan and pushed the inner demon off her.
Since this wasn’t the real world, the tail ring didn’t affect Xia Yi or Inner Demon Xia Yi here.
The mark of the Holy Sword appeared on the back of Xia Yi’s hand. She cried out loudly, “Holy Sword! Gram!!”
The golden Holy Sword responded to the Sword Saint’s summoning, appearing in her hand.
“Since your consciousness has become disordered, Inner Demon, I will beat you back to your senses right here!!”
Xia Yi made a bold declaration.
Wordlessly, Inner Demon Xia Yi raised her hand. On the back of her hand, the Holy Sword mark appeared. After a flash of golden light, she too summoned the Holy Sword.
Now, both Xia Yi and Inner Demon Xia Yi wield the Holy Sword.
Theoretically, this situation was impossible, there was only one Holy Sword.
However, this was the mental world. If Xia Yi was the Sword Saint, then her inner demon, sharing the same origin, was naturally also a Sword Saint. When both fought using the Holy Sword, this situation occurred.
“What? Holy Sword, what are you doing!”
Xia Yi angrily questioned her old friend.
“You fence-sitter! Couldn’t you just help me this time?!”
The Holy Sword glimmered slightly, seemingly wanting to express that it too was helpless.
If one possessed the qualifications of a Sword Saint and issued a summons, then as the Holy Sword, it was duty-bound to respond.
“Fine! As long as I can snap Inner Demon Xia Yi out of it!”
Xia Yi gripped the Holy Sword tightly, pointing its tip at her inner demon, ready to attack.
“Right now, the inner demon’s mental state is unstable. How could she possibly win against me at my peak in this condition? This round, the advantage is mine!!”
The silver-haired loli used a movement technique, leaving behind an afterimage as she suddenly vanished.
This technique was precisely about using movement to confuse the opponent, preventing them from reacting immediately and pinpointing Xia Yi’s location.
In reality, she had leaped upward, swung the Holy Sword, and unleashed consecutive slashes of golden sword light.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The golden sword energy cut off all of Inner Demon Xia Yi’s escape routes, the energy blades assaulting her simultaneously.
It seemed the battle would end right here, declaring Xia Yi’s victory.
However, an unforeseen situation occurred.
The golden sword energy actually passed through Inner Demon Xia Yi’s body.
“Not good!!”
Xia Yi immediately understood. While she was moving, Inner Demon Xia Yi had also used a movement technique. What remained on the ground was a decoy afterimage, also meant to confuse the enemy, luring them into attacking and exposing a flaw.
But she didn’t try to locate where Inner Demon Xia Yi had moved to, instead, she acted on instinct.
Her instincts sensed danger. Subconsciously, she swung the Holy Sword behind her.
Clang!
The two Holy Swords met mid-air, grinding against each other, sparks flying.
Her intuition was correct. If she had tried to locate her with her eyes, she would have exposed a flaw and been cut down by Inner Demon Xia Yi long ago.
“Hraaaah!!”
Both Xia Yi and Inner Demon Xia Yi landed on the ground. Xia Yi pressed the attack, unleashing fierce sword light. The sword energy formed an impenetrable net, surging forward.
Inner Demon Xia Yi countered with sword techniques of her own.
The two began a contest of swordsmanship.
But as the fight progressed, Xia Yi realized something was wrong… her swordsmanship was actually being suppressed by the other. Inner Demon Xia Yi had gained the upper hand.
This time, the swordsmanship Inner Demon Xia Yi displayed was even more formidable than during their last battle. Clearly, she had undergone rigorous training and improved.
In contrast, Xia Yi, who basically never trained, either slacking off or on the way to slacking off, so…
“So you weren’t joking before? You were really studying swordsmanship?” Xia Yi cried out indignantly. “You’ve been secretly grinding all along? That’s not fair!!”
But her complaints were useless now, the gap was right there.
Swish!
Inner Demon Xia Yi delivered the decisive winning strike, knocking the Holy Sword from Xia Yi’s hand, disarming her.
Xia Yi was blown back by the residual sword energy, landing on the ground. Her clothes were torn to shreds, revealing her fair skin, almost to the point of falling off with a single tug.
Inner Demon Xia Yi showed no mercy, directly mounting Xia Yi.
“This, this… it’s over, it’s over!”
Xia Yi almost fainted. Was she really going to… with her own inner demon…
Wait.
She remembered something.
Her own weakness was also the inner demon’s weakness.
She decided to make one final attempt, to gamble!
Before Inner Demon Xia Yi could act, Xia Yi, who was being mounted, had her own tail actively entangled with Inner Demon Xia Yi’s tail.
The two large silver tails thus entwined together.
Then, Xia Yi mustered all her remaining strength and began to exert force.
The tail could be considered Xia Yi’s weakness. If her tail was handled in a certain way, her body would become weak and powerless under the extreme sensation.
However, force interaction works both ways. Xia Yi’s current action was also a form of self-attack.
If she couldn’t hold on and collapsed before Inner Demon Xia Yi, it would be an even more complete surrender, leaving no chance for resistance.
“…?!”
Inner Demon Xia Yi’s whole body shuddered. The two began their final duel of the tails.
Xia Yi felt she was about to reach her limit.
But she refused to fall here!
After all… I am a steadfast and unyielding Sword Saint!!
“Unnnnggggaaaaaaahhhhh—!!” Xia Yi unleashed her final battle cry.
“Mmph…!”
Inner Demon Xia Yi let out a low moan, released her grip, went limp, and collapsed onto Xia Yi.
The little princess successfully reversed the outcome!
