Is It Funny That The Dragon Slayer Failed And Became The Dragon Princess?

175. Inner Demon

In the process of pursuing the martial path, warriors are bound to encounter setbacks and failures.

As a warrior’s life grew longer, these negative accumulations would gradually pile up.

When a warrior reached a certain realm, the negative accumulations would transform into an Inner Demon, appearing before the warrior.

Being able to control oneself and not be affected by the Inner Demon was the standard for a warrior to transcend the mundane and enter sainthood.

The Human Sword Saint, Wright Schubert, had sealed his Inner Demon, thus comprehending the state of mind of a clear mirror and still water, becoming a Sword Saint.

Of course, there were also many who couldn’t resist the Inner Demon on this path and were instead eroded by it, losing themselves.

The Inner Demon was an extremely dangerous existence.

And what Xia Yi was facing now was her own Inner Demon.

Only…

She really didn’t expect that one day she would meet her Inner Demon in this way.

How awkward!!

Now that she had become a dragon loli, while her Inner Demon didn’t know about these things and still maintained the former Human Sword Saint’s image, so it was completely dumbfounded.

“I am… the Human Sword Saint,” Xia Yi said.

“What kind of ridiculous joke is this? The Human Sword Saint doesn’t look like you. Do you think I’ve never seen him before? I’m the Sword Saint’s Inner Demon!”

The Inner Demon took off its helmet and threw it on the ground, pointing at its face.

It was Wright’s face.

“The Human Sword Saint looks like this, understand?!”

Xia Yi became even more embarrassed. She lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. “Well… I indeed used to look like that, but later on, I encountered a little, tiny accident… and turned into this.”

“What did you do?”

“After becoming the Sword Saint and sealing you, I began wandering around to train my abilities to become stronger.”

Xia Yi began recounting her experiences.

“Later, I accepted a mission to challenge the Silver Dragon Queen… But the dragons were a bit too strong, so I only managed to defeat a dragon guard, and got cursed.”

“However, the Silver Dragon Queen didn’t let me off. She continued to cast the Dragon King’s Curse on me. Under the effects of the Dragon King’s Curse, I lost my human body and became Xia Yi · Christie, the daughter of the Silver Dragon Queen… like this.”

“…”

The Sword Saint’s Inner Demon’s cheeks twitched.

Such an absurd experience was even more ridiculous than fiction.

The Inner Demon’s gaze seemed to say, “Are you kidding me?” which made Xia Yi even more embarrassed.

“I-I’m telling the truth!”

“Whatever. It has nothing to do with me. What you experienced and encountered is your business. In any case… you’ve made an absolutely unforgivable mistake.”

The Sword Saint’s Inner Demon sneered. Its body changed, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a silver-haired dragon loli.

Almost identical to Xia Yi, like a mirror image with no discernible difference.

Because the Inner Demon was Xia Yi’s projection to begin with.

Whatever Xia Yi was like, the Inner Demon Xia Yi was the same.

It was just that its expression was different from Xia Yi’s. Its face was filled with madness. It raised its thumb and made an extremely provocative gesture, drawing a line across its neck.

“I will kill you, replace you, and slaughter everyone around you, making you regret releasing me, hahaha!!”

“You bastard…”

“Oh my, don’t tell me you think I’m your companion and that we can communicate?” Inner Demon Xia Yi’s laughter became even more wicked. “Hahaha! Do you know? After gaining self-awareness, I’ve wanted nothing more than to kill you. I was born to kill you!”

“Of course I know that. I know what kind of existence an Inner Demon is.”

Xia Yi raised her hand and summoned the Holy Sword.

She had seen many warriors who were tempted by their Inner Demons, had their minds eroded, and became crazed.

Coexisting peacefully with an Inner Demon was impossible.

“I’m currently facing a predicament and must break through to the Fourth Tier… For that, I have to release you and then defeat you,” Xia Yi said. “I will face you directly, my Inner Demon, and then surpass you.”

“Hehehe, foolish, truly foolish! You actually want to use me as an experience fodder? You chose the wrong person. There’s a fundamental difference between you and me, Xia Yi!”

Inner Demon Xia Yi raised its hand, and with the glowing mark on its hand, the Holy Sword was also summoned.

This was Xia Yi’s mental world. The Inner Demon was essentially the same person as Xia Yi… So it wasn’t impossible for both of them to summon the Holy Sword at the same time.

“You need sleep, you need to breathe, you need entertainment! But I don’t need any of those things. Every moment, I’m training to kill you. You think you can defeat me? That’s a pipe dream!”

“How would you know without trying?”

“Fine, then let me make you realize the gap between us!”

Inner Demon Xia Yi further awakened the Holy Sword.

The Holy Sword emitted a dazzling light.

The killing intent from it surged out like a tsunami, constantly amplifying the sword qi to a staggering degree.

Xia Yi was even forced to retreat in the face of it.

Inner Demon Xia Yi wasn’t wrong. If they were only talking about the purity of swordsmanship, her Inner Demon was even stronger than her.

This was the oppressive feeling that could only be achieved by dedicating one’s entire being to the sword, without the need for sleep, food, entertainment, or rest… Constantly tempering one’s swordsmanship, waiting for the chance to kill the original.

“Do you understand the difference between us now, Xia Yi?!”

Inner Demon Xia Yi had already moved in front of her, raising the Holy Sword.

Xia Yi also swung the Holy Sword, slashing upward.

Two golden torrents collided as Xia Yi clashed with her Inner Demon.

She was completely overwhelmed. In terms of might, Inner Demon Xia Yi had the upper hand.

“Too weak, too weak!! What have you been doing after becoming a dragon? You’re completely wasting this powerful body!” Inner Demon Xia Yi kept mocking the original, venting all its accumulated grievances.

“Ugh!”

“I waited so long, yet you only have this bit of strength? It’s hard to satisfy me!!”

Inner Demon Xia Yi slashed Xia Yi away.

Xia Yi fell to the ground, even dropping the Holy Sword to the side, looking very disheveled.

“Oh wow, so this is how strong a dragon’s body is? It’s much better than a human body,” Inner Demon Xia Yi was in quite a good mood. “Even the sword techniques I’m using now is much stronger than before. I really like this feeling.”

Xia Yi propped herself up and secretly glanced over, observing her Inner Demon.

Inner Demon Xia Yi quickly adapted to the new body and even enjoyed the feeling…

Seeing this, the corners of Xia Yi’s mouth curved.
