Volume 5 Chapter 130
by Need_More_SleepVolume 5 + Chapter 130: The Final Hope
Xia Yi lifted her hand and wiped away Yue Liu’s tears.
“There’s… still a way?”
The little fox looked up at her, confused.
“Of course. This isn’t over yet. Saying we should give up now is far too early,” Xia Yi said. “The hundred thousand fox army in Takamagahara hasn’t yet become his fuel. It’s not beyond saving.”
“But in this situation, who could possibly…”
The little fox paused.
“My nemesis… are you planning to stop the White Night Cult Leader?!”
“At this point, I’m the only one who can,” Xia Yi nodded.
“No! He’s far too strong now! If you go, you’ll lose your life!!” the little fox said urgently. “This is my responsibility, you can’t throw your life away!”
“I know.”
Xia Yi understood this clearly.
Facing the White Night Cult Leader now was an extremely unwise decision.
His strength far exceeded hers, they were not even in the same realm.
But the reality was that there was no one else left.
The fox army and the dragon envoy had all fallen into the illusions, unable to fight.
Yue Liu was injured and could no longer battle.
Only Xia Yi remained.
If no one stopped him, the consequences would be catastrophic.
“If I run away now, I’d be abandoning not only the dragon envoy, but also you, Fox Radish. I can’t just watch you die here,” Xia Yi said.
“…Why go this far… for me?”
“There’s no special reason. But if our positions were reversed, you’d probably make the same choice.”
“…!”
The little fox could not refute that.
If Xia Yi were in danger, she would never abandon her either.
“I understand. Since you insist… then I will support you!”
“Fox Radish, rest here and recover your strength. If I don’t return, try to awaken the others…”
Xia Yi turned, preparing to head toward the center of Takamagahara.
But before she could finish, she was interrupted.
The little fox grabbed her wrist.
“No. I won’t run. I’ll entrust all hope… to you.”
“Hm?”
Xia Yi blinked, confused.
“My nemesis, close your eyes.”
“Fox Radish, what are you trying to do?”
“Just close them, I want to help you!”
“Oh… alright.”
Xia Yi complied and closed her eyes.
Holding her wrist, the little fox leaned closer. Their faces drew nearer and nearer.
She looked at Xia Yi’s soft lips, her heart pounding wildly.
Her cheeks flushed red.
She had intended to go all out and do something bold,
But at the last moment, she lost her nerve.
Instead, she simply pressed lightly against Xia Yi’s cheek.
“Fox Radish?”
“Keep your eyes closed! I told you, don’t open them!”
“…Alright.”
“Don’t move, don’t speak. Just wait a moment!” the little fox said shyly.
After a short while, Xia Yi clearly felt something flowing into her body.
“It’s done,” the little fox released her hand.
“Huh? What is this?”
Xia Yi opened her eyes.
Her vision had become clear again. The dizziness within Takamagahara had vanished.
Her mind was restored to perfect clarity.
“The Fox God’s Magatama, I’ve lent it to you for now,” the little fox explained. “With this, the illusions of Takamagahara can no longer affect you.”
“Huh?!”
Xia Yi was stunned.
“Can you lend me something like that? It’s important to you, isn’t it?!”
“My nemesis, to give you a better chance of victory, I’m willing to do this. The Red Fox God will surely understand.”
She explained softly.
“Through physical contact, I can transfer the Fox God’s Magatama into your body.”
She had wanted to do something more impulsive…
But taking advantage like that felt… wrong.
So she only gave a gentle touch.
“Do your best, my nemesis… You are now my final… hope.”
Her voice grew weaker.
Without the Magatama, she could no longer activate the Nine-Tailed Fox God bloodline, nor resist the illusions.
Distorted visions were already flooding her mind.
“I… won’t be able to help you anymore…”
The little fox collapsed.
Xia Yi caught her gently and laid her down.
“Fox Radish… thank you.”
…
…
At the center of Takamagahara,
Through the domain, the White Night Cult Leader had gradually taken control of the hundred thousand fox army, preparing to sacrifice them all as fuel.
“Oh?”
Floating in the sky, he sensed an approaching presence and opened his eyes.
Before him stood the silver-haired dragon girl.
“Instead of fleeing, you come toward me. Should I praise your courage… or your ignorance?” he mocked.
“White Night Cult Leader, I’ve come to defeat you,” Xia Yi said.
“Ridiculous.”
He didn’t even intend to give her a chance to act.
He controlled the radiant sun above, casting a warm glow upon her.
This overwhelming infusion of illusion, enough to submerge even a king of higher species, should have dragged her completely into illusion.
Yet a red glow emerged from Xia Yi’s body, blocking all intrusion.
“This is…?!”
He was startled.
The power of the Red Fox God.
The only force capable of resisting Takamagahara’s illusions.
For such power to appear on an outsider…
There was only one explanation.
“Yue Liu lent you the Fox God’s Magatama? Madness, she gave the fox race’s greatest power to an outsider!”
“Are you afraid, White Night Cult Leader?”
“Afraid? Absurd.”
He sneered.
Now that he knew Xia Yi was a Holy Sword wielder, he would not underestimate her again.
Then…
“I’ll show you… the power of a god!”
His body began to transform.
Before Xia Yi, he revealed a terrifying true form.
