Volume 5 Chapter 128
by Need_More_SleepVolume 5 + Chapter 128: Inner Demon Xia Yi Is Unhappy
“Ugh… ah…”
Covered in wounds, Yue Liu clutched her chest, using Sakura Moon to support herself so she wouldn’t collapse.
She had lost track of how long she had been resisting the White Night Cult Leader.
“This is the fate of those who challenge a god.”
The White Night Cult Leader floated in the air. Under his control, the solar disk of Takamagahara continued to radiate light, blanketing the world.
Like a deity standing above all things, he looked down upon everything, finding it all insignificant.
“Priestess of the Red Fox God, you have neither the will nor the strength left.”
“…”
Yue Liu felt immense unwillingness, but she no longer had the strength even to retort.
Although she had received the Red Fox God’s blessing, awakening and elevating her bloodline from a Nine-Tailed Fox to a Nine-Tailed Fox God, her power surging into the realm of higher-species kings,
Even so, she could barely contend with the White Night Cult Leader.
Yet he himself, already at that level, had further evolved his bloodline and seized the Azure Fox God’s power.
The gap between them widened once again.
Moreover, with him wielding the Yasakani no Magatama and controlling Takamagahara, fighting within this domain placed Yue Liu at an absolute disadvantage.
Her sword strikes could hardly reach him in the sky.
Meanwhile, he used the solar disk to unleash endless attacks.
Even if she abandoned offense and focused entirely on defense, a few beams would inevitably strike her.
As time passed, the battle had turned into this.
Yue Liu was gravely wounded, while the White Night Cult Leader remained completely unharmed.
The overwhelming difference in strength left her with no hope of victory. She had exhausted all her means.
“It’s time to deliver the final blow.”
The White Night Cult Leader raised a finger, locking onto Yue Liu.
The solar disk spun, gathering immense energy in preparation.
In her current state, Yue Liu could not evade the next attack.
“This… is divine punishment.”
…
“What is that?”
Inner Demon Xia Yi stopped in her tracks.
She saw a strange scene.
In the sky floated a young nine-tailed fox man, gathering power.
On the ground, a nine-tailed fox girl lay unable to move due to her injuries.
She recognized neither of them.
Yet toward the man in the sky, she felt an intense, instinctive hatred, he must be the controller of Takamagahara.
As for the girl below…
She remembered something Xia Yi had said before going offline.
Among those strange words, there had been one request, to find someone and help them.
“…It must be her.”
Inner Demon Xia Yi raised her Holy Sword and slashed toward the fox in the sky, releasing a fierce storm of sword energy.
“Hm?”
The White Night Cult Leader frowned, sensing killing intent.
“Your luck is good, you can die a little later.”
He shifted his finger from Yue Liu toward Inner Demon Xia Yi.
Boom!!
A beam from the solar disk changed direction, shattering the sword storm.
Though hastily fired and weaker than usual, it still caused a massive explosion upon impact, engulfing buildings and erasing everything within the blast.
“That’s quite a terrifying thing.”
A voice of complaint came from another direction.
The White Night Cult Leader turned his gaze.
A dragon girl holding a Holy Sword stood there.
She… survived?
He was slightly surprised.
Silver hair, silver tail, silver eyes…
So this was the legendary Silver Dragon Princess, impressive indeed.
Perhaps she had anticipated the attack and dodged in advance after launching her strike.
“Xia Yi?!”
Yue Liu exclaimed in shock.
“So it really is you, the Silver Dragon Princess. This is our first meeting, isn’t it?” the White Night Cult Leader smiled. “Traveling all this way to die in Takamagahara, how admirable.”
“Who are you?”
Inner Demon Xia Yi’s expression darkened.
She was very displeased, someone dared to act so arrogantly before her?
“I am the Azure Fox God who rules Takamagahara, and the god who will soon control this land,” he declared.
“So the illusions in Takamagahara… are your doing?”
“Indeed. This is the means by which I will control the world,” he admitted readily. “Within this illusion-filled domain, no one can oppose me.”
“So you’re the bastard behind all this.”
Inner Demon Xia Yi’s irritation deepened.
She, who was destined to destroy everything, naturally despised those who called themselves gods.
She wanted nothing more than to cut him to pieces immediately.
However…
She glanced at Yue Liu behind her.
If she fought now, she wouldn’t be able to protect the pink-haired fox, and she would likely die.
Besides, Xia Yi had insisted, she had to save her.
If this fox girl died, Xia Yi would surely be sad.
Inner Demon Xia Yi thought this to herself.
“Well, Silver Dragon Princess, you seem unsteady. Has Takamagahara’s illusion begun to erode you?” the White Night Cult Leader asked. “Shall I remove its effects for you?”
“…Shut up, bastard.”
Inner Demon Xia Yi shook her head.
She was indeed nearing her limit. From the moment she awakened, she had been resisting the illusion nonstop.
Her body and mind were at their breaking point.
She temporarily suppressed her urge to fight.
Looks like this time… she wouldn’t be fighting for slaughter. How irritating.
“Holy Sword Gram!”
She raised the Holy Sword high. A sharp sword intent surged forth, causing the blade to tremble and radiate dazzling brilliance, momentarily outshining even Takamagahara’s sun.
She slashed toward the Azure Fox God. Vast sword energy surged like a golden torrent, countless streaks of light tearing through space in a dazzling display.
The White Night Cult Leader widened his eyes slightly.
This insignificant bug… possessed such power?
“Disappear, you bastard!”
