Volume 6 Chapter 140
by Golden DragonVolume 6 + Chapter 140: It Could Be Her
“Atiya, use Destructive White Light on the Calamity Beasts!”
Standing atop the blue dragon, Xia Yi issued the combat command.
“Ugh, ROAR!!!”
Atiya gathered scorching white dragon breath in her mouth. After compressing it to the extreme, she opened her jaws and unleashed it.
The dragon breath fell into the midst of the Calamity Beasts and exploded, annihilating them in the white light.
“So, so amazing!”
Daisy couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
The other Maginot soldiers were dumbfounded at the sight.
Today, Daisy had led the Maginot soldiers out on a survey mission when they were ambushed by Calamity Beasts along the way.
In the past, this unit would have engaged in a fierce battle with the Calamity Beasts, with many soldiers injured in the fight.
But this time was different. With the addition of Xia Yi and Atiya,
Atiya had reverted to her true dragon form. Under Xia Yi’s command, she displayed the power of a dragon and crushed the Calamity Beasts.
After all, Atiya was a member of the royal maid corps, and her strength was not to be underestimated.
“Letting Atiya join our military was the right decision!”
“Exactly. A few days ago, we were worried she might cause trouble. Now it seems she has greatly increased our combat strength.”
“She can even wipe out Calamity Beasts in an instant. So strong!”
Everyone praised her repeatedly.
Even Wallace had to admit his admiration. He had initially been quite opposed to Atiya joining, but now he was convinced.
“Alright, Atiya. The Calamity Beasts have been dealt with. The battle is over.”
Xia Yi jumped down from Atiya and looked with satisfaction at the scorched remains ahead.
“Mm.”
Atiya returned to her human form without saying much else.
At Xia Yi’s request, Atiya had been ordered not to speak much outside or do anything extra, in order to maintain her presence. Simply put, she was to keep quiet, act cool and aloof.
That way, others would be fooled by this blue dragon who appeared wise and profound.
“That was a huge help, Xia Yi. We thought we were in for a tough fight, but with you and Atiya working together, you crushed the Calamity Beasts and prevented the casualties that might have occurred.” Daisy walked over and smiled.
“It’s nothing. Since Atiya has joined the military, of course she’ll do her part and fight the Calamity Beasts!” Xia Yi said.
“I will also include this in my report.”
In everyone’s eyes, Atiya was cool, aloof, and mysterious, never speaking lightly. Therefore, everyone chose to communicate with Xia Yi, who would then relay to Atiya as her roommate.
In a sense, she was a sounding board.
“The obstacles have been cleared. Rest a moment, then we’ll continue onward!” Daisy announced to everyone.
After a brief stop, the Maginot soldiers resumed their journey.
Seizing the opportunity, Xia Yi walked over to Daisy and began to probe for information. “Daisy, why do we keep going out on survey missions? In the few days since I joined, I’ve seen the Maginot Fortress send out soldiers constantly.”
“Because we have to fight the Calamity Beasts. We must always know their movements,” Daisy explained. “Every so often, the Calamity Beasts gather and launch a fierce assault on Maginot Fortress.”
“Do the Calamity Beast attacks have any pattern?”
“No. Calamity Beasts are not ordinary life forms. We cannot judge those monsters by normal standards or predict their behavior. That’s why we have to send soldiers out regularly to conduct surveys.”
“I see.”
Xia Yi imagined the scene, the soldiers of Maginot Fortress standing atop the walls, using powerful weapons and magic to fight against the tide of Calamity Beasts surging forward.
She had experienced something similar at Laurel Academy, but the scale there was incomparable to this.
“The most active region for Calamity Beasts is the Adam Plains, where a great many of them gather. Maginot Fortress surveys their movements by approaching the Adam Plains.”
“So are we heading to the Adam Plains now to survey the Calamity Beasts?”
“No,” Daisy shook her head. “We’re investigating something else.”
“Something else?”
“Yes. Recently, on the route from Maginot Fortress to the Adam Plains, an unexpected situation occurred.”
“Soldiers heading to the Adam Plains to survey the Calamity Beasts have been mysteriously losing consciousness along the way, falling into a deep sleep from which they are difficult to wake.”
“After waking, all of them become extremely weak and lose all memory of the incident.”
Daisy’s expression turned serious.
“Now we’ve come here to investigate the truth behind this mysterious phenomenon. After all, it has severely hindered our ability to monitor the Calamity Beasts’ movements, and we have no choice but to deal with it.”
“Eh?”
Xia Yi felt that this situation sounded familiar. It was very much like something someone would do.
Not just somewhat similar, it was practically identical…
“Xia Yi, what’s wrong? Do you know the truth behind this?” Daisy noticed Xia Yi’s expression was off.
“Ah? No. I just find it very hard to believe!” Xia Yi replied.
“Is that so? Then stay alert. Don’t fall victim to it.”
…
…
The unit led by Daisy continued onward.
“Ah, I’m getting a bit sleepy. There aren’t any Calamity Beasts around here anymore…”
Wallace yawned.
The others had also lost their earlier energy, all wearing drowsy expressions.
“Everyone, stay awake! Don’t fall asleep!”
That was what Daisy said, but even she was feeling lethargic.
It was as if a mist had drifted in, surrounding the unit, gradually thickening.
Thud.
The person at the front silently collapsed. Daisy sensed something was wrong and was about to speak, but drowsiness overtook her and dragged her into darkness.
And so, after the first person fell, the Maginot soldiers also succumbed one by one, unable to resist this unseen attack, and were dragged into their dreams.
Xia Yi narrowed her eyes. Seeing this, she deliberately did not resist and also entered the dream.
…
…
“Hmph, hmph, hmph~ So many people this time. These guys really love walking right into my trap. I can have another feast~ Uh, wait. What’s going on? Why do I see a little silver dragon here?!”
