Volume 6 Chapter 17
by Golden DragonVolume 6 + Chapter 17: Substitute Enters The Battle
Here, Xia Yi used her ultimate trump card, something she comprehended during her battle against the White Night Cult Leader.
“Dragon King Domain, descend!”
“Dragon King Domain?”
Xia Lulu was visibly shocked.
On this land, not all strong individuals could use domains, but anyone who could was undoubtedly among the pinnacle.
Even high-tier kings possessed domains.
Yet Xia Yi, at the fifth tier, claimed she could use one, something unprecedented in history.
“My daughter, you’re not bluffing, are you?” Xia Lulu questioned.
“Heh… hahaha, Xia Lulu, how do you think I defeated the White Night Cult Leader?”
Xia Yi proudly declared.
“That’s right, I’ve already stepped into the ranks of the world’s peak experts! With a domain, defeating you will be effortless. Now, I’ll surpass you right here! Dragon King Domain, descend!”
“…”
Xia Lulu’s expression changed as she prepared seriously to witness it.
However, after declaring, Xia Yi simply held her pose… for nearly a minute.
Nothing changed.
“Where’s the domain?” Xia Lulu frowned.
“Uh… wait, maybe I got the pose wrong. Let me try again!”
Xia Yi grew flustered.
Taking a deep breath, she struck another pose and shouted.
“Dragon King Domain, descend!!”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Another minute passed.
Still nothing.
The atmosphere became awkward.
“Pfft… daughter, are you trying to entertain me?” Xia Lulu laughed.
“No! I really can use a domain! I used the Dragon King Domain to break the Takamagahara Domain!”
Xia Yi grew anxious, her voice tinged with grievance.
“This… this isn’t right. What did I do wrong? I followed all the steps exactly!”
“My daughter, my patience is limited. You claimed this would be a historic battle, yet you’re fooling around at such a crucial moment.”
“Dragon King Domain, descend! Dragon King Domain, unfold! Dragon King Domain, release!”
Xia Yi tried several poses in a row, none worked.
“My daughter, that’s enough. Let me show you a real domain.”
Snap.
A fierce wind descended upon the battlefield. Blizzard-like snow blanketed the sky, dimming the entire world.
“Ice Snow Domain, descend.”
Xia Lulu unleashed her domain.
Within it, all her ice magic was greatly enhanced, even massive spells could be cast instantly.
Even nation-destroying forbidden magic became possible.
With a single thought, her words became reality.
From the battlefield perspective, Xia Yi was now at a complete disadvantage.
“Idiot Xia Yi, what are you doing?!”
Her inner demon Xia Yi couldn’t take it anymore and began shouting like a backseat commander.
“Xia Lulu already used her domain, what are you standing around for? You said you could use one, so hurry up! Only a domain can counter a domain!”
“I know, stop yelling! I am trying!” Xia Yi felt her head about to explode. “Give me a moment to find the feeling!”
“Don’t just stand there, dodge!!”
“Huh?”
A shadow appeared beneath Xia Yi’s feet. An ice pillar formed above her head and fell.
She barely leapt aside in time.
Any slower, and she’d have been knocked unconscious.
“Idiot Xia Yi, give me control!” her inner demon snapped. “Let me handle this!”
“…Fine.”
Xia Yi temporarily handed over control of her body.
The inner demon took over.
“Honestly, if you can’t use a domain, don’t waste time trying!”
She raised the Holy Sword, instantly entering a state of unity between mind and blade.
Though she didn’t use magic to assist her swordsmanship like Xia Yi did.
In pure swordsmanship, she was stronger.
The golden Holy Sword plunged into the snow. Her eyes widened, releasing sword intent that turned into violent sword energy, surging into the ground.
“Earth Collapse!”
Boom!
The ground split apart, shattered by sword energy, surging toward Xia Lulu.
“Trying to defeat me with that? You’re underestimating me.”
Xia Lulu leapt high, forming an icy chain midair and stepping on it, hovering above the battlefield.
No matter how powerful the attack, if it couldn’t hit, it was meaningless.
She formed ice swords and descended.
“Sword Avalanche!”
At the same time, the inner demon unleashed a soaring sword aura, merging shattered earth and heavy snow into a massive avalanche.
The avalanche crashed like a tidal wave, destroying the ice swords.
Riding atop the snow like a surfer, the inner demon charged toward Xia Lulu, Holy Sword glowing gold as it prepared the next strike.
“It’s over, Xia Lulu!!”
She raised the Holy Sword with both hands.
“To counterattack like this within my Ice Snow Domain… your combat strength really has improved.”
Xia Lulu manipulated the domain, forming a giant snowman arm to knock her down from the wave.
Suddenly…
Her heart tightened sharply.
A piercing pain struck, her vision went black, and her consciousness cut off.
The golden sword energy collided with the snow arm, the clash sending a massive shockwave that blew the inner demon off the wave.
Half her body plunged into the snow, legs and tail sticking out as she felt dizzy.
“Ugh… the battle isn’t over yet…!”
She climbed out, shaking off snow like a drenched kitten.
When her vision refocused.
She froze.
What lay before her was an utterly unbelievable scene.
Oh no, why 😭 I hope Xia Lulu is okay and the inner demon doesn’t attack her.
