by Need_More_SleepVolume 5 + Chapter 118: The Troublesome Paper Constructs
“For the Red Fox God, we cannot retreat!”
“Charge!”
“Fight! Fight! Fight!”
From ahead came the battle cries of fox soldiers.
“Your Highness, have they encountered the enemy?” Elly asked curiously.
Before Xia Yi could respond, rustling sounds came from the reeds nearby.
Shadows moved, filled with hostility.
Suddenly, one lunged at her.
“Your Highness, watch out!!”
The green dragon maid leapt forward, slamming the attacker to the ground.
“What is this thing?!”
It was a paper figure.
Even after being struck down, it rose again unharmed.
Looking around, they realized the reeds were full of them.
“Your Highness, we’re surrounded!”
Karami shouted.
“These are shikigami, spirit constructs,” Xia Yi explained. “If I’m correct, this is the Sect Leader’s doing.”
“He can control this many?!” Elly exclaimed.
“He’s a Nine-Tailed Fox, his strength rivals a top-tier sovereign. This is no surprise.”
Xia Yi looked ahead.
These constructs were clearly the enemy engaging the fox troops.
“Annoying pests…!”
One dragon lost patience and transformed, preparing to unleash dragonfire.
“Stop!”
Karami halted him.
“You’ll ignite the entire reed field!”
“Then how do we deal with them?”
“Leave it to me.”
Xia Yi raised her hand, gathering magic.
The paper constructs surged toward her, but the dragons intervened.
Elly transformed, slamming the ground and sending shockwaves to repel them.
“Ice Crystal Rain!”
Blades of ice rained down, shredding the constructs.
“These aren’t living beings, brute force alone won’t suffice. Tear them apart with claws,” Xia Yi instructed. “Now take to the skies and support the fox troops!”
“Understood!”
The dragons transformed and took flight.
“Elly, take me to Yue Liu!”
“Yes!”
Under the moonlight, they soared across the reeds.
Finally, Xia Yi spotted her.
“Fox Radish!”
She leapt down, smashing aside constructs.
“My sworn enemy!”
Yue Liu cut her way over.
“These are too many, the army is struggling. This is a trap!”
“If we use dragonfire, we’ll hit our allies… he planned this,” Xia Yi said.
“Behind you!” Yue Liu warned.
Xia Yi dodged instinctively as an attack cratered the ground.
Turning, she saw,
An Eight-Headed Serpent construct?!
Along with other monstrous forms.
Stronger than ordinary constructs, elite units.
“My sworn enemy, can I ask something?” Yue Liu said seriously.
“Of course.”
“Open a path for me.”
“You’re going after him?”
“The only strategy is to eliminate the caster.”
“…Understood.”
Xia Yi raised her staff.
“Storm Field!”
A raging storm erupted, uprooting reeds and sweeping constructs aside.
A clear path opened.
Yue Liu dashed forward.
…
…
She broke away from the battlefield, heading toward the center.
The constructs were likely a delaying tactic.
She had to find the Sect Leader.
Whoosh!
A talisman exploded before her.
She narrowly dodged.
“Heh… I’ve waited long enough.”
Bai Lian appeared, talismans in hand, her gaze brimming with killing intent.
“Only you? Fine. Yue Liu… I’ll start with you.”
