Volume 2 Chapter 141
141. Fight!
In the depths of the Golde Sea, Xia Yi encountered an extremely terrifying lifeform, the Beast of Envy – Leviathan.
It was a Legendary Beast personally created by the Creator God in the Old World to punish.
Its purpose for existing was only one: to destroy all life and bring endless calamity to the civilization of the Old World.
However, after the destruction of the Old World and the birth of the New World, these Legendary Beasts did not die. As remnants of the Old World, they still existed on this land.
It was just that because the Legendary Beasts were all remnants of the Old World and not lives of the New World, all the Legendary Beasts could not maintain activity for long periods and were mostly in slumber.
As long as they awakened, they would unleash terrible calamities.
In Golde, someone forcibly awakened Leviathan from the depths of the Golde Sea, creating the Black Tide, causing countless people of Golde to die in this disaster.
Even Sera, who possessed top-tier strength among the dragons, was helpless against the Legendary Beasts.
Xia Yi had personally experienced the terror of the Legendary Beasts and knew how frightening they were.
Therefore, she could immediately identify that this was the aura of a Legendary Beast!
Even the strongest Superior Race, the dragons, would feel fear in their hearts when facing such a calamitous life.
“Wuuuah!”
Xia Yi ran back and hid inside the ancestral temple.
She even specifically hid behind the ancestor’s statue and used her strongest defensive move—
Head-holding squat defense!
“Ancestor, please help me!”
It was unknown whether the temple was truly special, but the Legendary Beast’s aura did not invade this place.
Xia Yi was safe here. She leaned against the ancestor’s statue’s big tail and breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’m saved… What should I do now, there’s a Legendary Beast outside…”
She began to feel troubled.
First of all, with her strength, there was no way she could fight against a Legendary Beast. Sera couldn’t beat it, let alone herself.
“Letting me face a Legendary Beast alone is too difficult. How can I do it? It’s not a matter of courage. I simply can’t win!”
Xia Yi felt very aggrieved.
The most crucial thing was that Sera was not by Xia Yi’s side now, she had to deal with any dangerous situation by herself.
“I won’t go out. I’d rather die than go out. The place where the ancestor is, is my safe house!”
Time kept passing.
The ancestor’s temple was indeed always safe. Staying here, nothing would happen.
Until night, nothing changed.
The fatigue from the journey made Xia Yi unable to hold on any longer. She curled up on the ground, hugging her own big tail, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
…
“Ugh…”
The next morning, Xia Yi felt stiff all over as she woke up from the floor, and the feeling of fatigue was somewhat relieved, although it was not very comfortable.
“Sera?”
The drowsy little princess sat up, rubbing her eyes and calling out to her personal maid.
“Sera, what time is it?”
There was no response within the temple.
The gradually awakening Xia Yi realized that Sera had disappeared and was not by her side. Now there was only her lonely self.
Thinking of this, her mood became even more depressed.
Growl~
Xia Yi was hungry, and her little stomach began to rumble. She hadn’t eaten anything last night.
She took out her rations and began to eat.
As she ate, the little princess fell into confusion.
“Am I going to hide here forever?”
Outside the ancestor’s temple in the true land, there was a Legendary Beast, which was extremely dangerous… It was not comparable to any adventure during the Human Sword Saint era.
This level of danger had already exceeded the limit of what Xia Yi could handle.
Now she couldn’t contact other dragons and could only act by herself. It was really too desperate.
When facing Leviathan before, Xia Yi had been lucky. She had reversely utilized the Black Tide and issued a self-destruction command to the Black Tide… Instead, it affected Leviathan, creating huge chaos, allowing her to escape alive. The current situation was… completely different!
But if she kept staying here, would it really be useful?
Xia Yi looked at her rations.
Dragons had a big appetite to begin with, and there was nothing else here… If she kept cowering, she would starve to death.
She didn’t know spatial magic. If she wanted to use the magic array in the temple to return to the Great Sea of Trees, she could only perform some random operations, which would have an unpredictable impact on the magic array. This was simply pure suicide.
Xia Yi didn’t want to turn into Xia Yi paste!
“Damn it, it’s death either way.”
She felt the situation was unprecedentedly bad.
She gradually became discouraged, the ahoge on her head drooped down like it had wilted.
Just then—
“Ow, it hurts!”
Xia Yi felt a slight stinging pain coming from her hand. Looking down, the Holy Sword Mark lit up.
It was the Holy Sword!
Xia Yi suddenly remembered that yesterday she had solemnly vowed to the Holy Sword that she would strive to climb to the highest peak and let the Holy Sword regain its original strength in the future.
But now, she was actually giving up on herself and wallowing in self-pity…
What kind of Human Sword Saint am I?!
The scenes of her past battles as the Human Sword Saint flashed before Xia Yi’s eyes, giving herself buffs through the power of flashbacks. In the end, she pulled herself together again, and the gloom on her face was swept away.
“Holy Sword, you’re right. I am the mighty Human Sword Saint. How could I easily give up? Rather than starving to death here, I might as well go outside and fight it out with the Legendary Beast!!”
The Holy Sword Mark flashed three more times.
“Mm, Holy Sword, thank you for your encouragement. I have regained my courage! I’ve decided I can’t continue to sit and wait for death here!”
After regaining her motivation, Xia Yi quickly finished eating her rations and prepared to take action, clenching her little fists to cheer herself on.
Xia Yi is the strongest, Xia Yi is the strongest!
You can do it.
After a round of self-encouragement, the silver-haired loli’s ahoge stood up again. She left the temple, took a deep breath, and began to take action.
…
After Xia Yi left, a figure that had been quietly following her from the start appeared from the shadows.
“…”
Sera gazed at Xia Yi’s back, her expression complex.
In fact, she had never left her princess’s side… It’s just that due to the Queen’s orders, she couldn’t show herself and could only temporarily hide.
However, she was not secretly protecting the Princess. It was not the Queen’s order.
Her mission was the exact opposite of protection.
“I’m sorry, Princess.”
The warmth in Sera’s eyes slowly faded as she takes out a weapon.
