Volume 2 Chapter 181
181. So Unlucky
Xia Yi challenging Xia Lulu seemed like an impossible task.
In fact, Xia Yi had an advantage.
That was, she had previously challenged Xia Lulu and lost many times!
For anyone facing an opponent they had defeated many times, they would probably think it wasn’t worth mentioning, right?
This was Xia Lulu’s current thought. She must think her daughter was blindly inflated with unreasonable confidence, setting herself up for failure!
And Xia Yi was taking advantage of this point.
When Xia Lulu underestimated her, she wouldn’t consider the potential meaning behind Xia Yi’s actions.
In fact, everything had been within Xia Yi’s calculations from the beginning.
Xia Lulu would definitely use Chant Regulation to buy time and construct magic arrays to start magic bombardment… When this period was reached, Xia Lulu would feel victory was in her grasp and become complacent.
And while dodging Xia Lulu’s magic bombardment, Xia Yi was moving rapidly, using the visual obstruction brought by the explosions to make small movements.
At a certain point, she set up a magic array and continuously inscribed it with Dragon Language.
And now, the conditions were ripe.
It was time to reveal her final trump card!
“Come forth!! Black Knight!!”
Xia Yi unleashed a summoning spell, pouring her magic power into the magic array! The Dragon Language inscriptions on the array glowed!
Responding to Xia Yi’s summon, the summoning array behind the Silver Dragon Queen erupted with black light shooting into the sky like a pillar. A gauntleted hand emerged, tearing through the inky pillar!
A knight completely clad in black armor appeared.
Xia Yi had previously signed a summoning contract with the Black Knight, but due to her strength not reaching the Fourth Tier, the summoning cost was too high to bear, so she couldn’t use it temporarily.
But now it was different. Xia Yi had reached the Fourth Tier and could let the Black Knight assist her in battle.
“Roar!!”
The Black Knight let out a beastly, frenzied roar… Amidst the dark Battle Qi, streaks of frenzied crimson swirled like a raging storm, shaking the heavens and earth.
“Xia Yi, to think you would use such tactics?!” Even Xia Lulu seemed surprised.
The Black Knight’s summoning position was very close to Xia Lulu.
Almost right next to her.
It was all because Xia Lulu had let her guard down, giving Xia Yi this opportunity.
At such a close distance, the Black Knight’s full power strike was enough to shake Xia Lulu. Even if she used Chant Regulation to cast a magic shield, the Black Knight’s explosive power could completely shatter it.
Xia Yi’s victory condition was to injure Xia Lulu. Even a slight scratch was enough.
“Go, Black Knight, take back all my allowance!!”
Xia Yi loudly ordered the Black Knight.
“Xia Lulu, pay a heavy price for your carelessness! This is my victory!”
“Roar!”
The Black Knight bent its legs and jumped up violently, shattering the ground with exaggerated force. The shockwave spread out like ripples.
The knight in black armor had transformed into a mindless, raging beast. It raised its weapon and smashed it towards the petite Xia Lulu.
At this time, it was too late for Xia Lulu to use her magic array to shift the target and aim at the Black Knight. The Black Knight’s speed was simply too fast to lock onto.
“It’s useless!! Xia Lulu, whatever you do now is meaningless!” Xia Yi declared.
Xia Lulu didn’t move at all, as if she had given up resisting.
Got her!!
Xia Yi jumped with joy, letting out a victorious cheer.
However…
Just as the Black Knight’s weapon was about to fall on Xia Lulu, it suddenly stopped, as if petrified.
Xia Lulu slowly turned her head, leisurely looking at Xia Yi.
“Daughter, being able to execute such tactics is indeed praiseworthy.”
“What’s going on?”
Xia Yi couldn’t understand what had happened.
She thought it was because her mana supply was insufficient and increased the mana supply.
“Move! Black Knight, move!!”
The little princess shouted anxiously, but the Black Knight remained unresponsive, like a statue.
“Why are you just watching, Black Knight! Have you betrayed me?!!”
Xia Yi stomped her feet in anger.
But no matter what method she used, the Black Knight just wouldn’t attack Xia Lulu and even slowly put down its weapon.
Xia Lulu said leisurely, “Daughter, the Black Knight won’t attack me. Because it also signed a contract with me before.”
“Eh?”
Xia Yi was stunned.
“What a pity, Daughter. If you had summoned another creature to give me a surprise attack, you might have won. Unfortunately, it just had to be the Black Knight.”
“Black Knight, is that true?!” Xia Yi questioned.
The Black Knight nodded.
It seemed the Black Knight was in a dilemma, not wanting to attack either side.
“Black Knight, you may leave.”
Xia Lulu said, throwing out a high-quality, high-purity magic crystal.
“This is your appearance fee.”
The Black Knight was quite shocked to receive such an expensive appearance fee.
Then, Xia Lulu whispered something to the Black Knight.
The Black Knight solemnly nodded and then left.
“Why am I so unlucky? My carefully calculated plan actually failed like this!”
Xia Yi couldn’t accept it, on the verge of breaking down.
“Daughter, do you have any other tricks? If not, maybe you should just admit defeat.” Xia Lulu said.
“Damn it, I’ll fight you to the end!!”
Xia Yi was desperate and didn’t care about anything anymore. She raised the Holy Sword, using the resonance of the Holy Sword Mark to activate the Holy Sword’s maximum output.
She and the Holy Sword seemed to merge into one, transforming into a golden meteor shooting towards Xia Lulu.
“All magic, concentrate.”
Xia Lulu aimed all her magic at Xia Yi. Like a colorful cannon, various high-power magic of different attributes were fired together. The torrent of mana engulfed the golden meteor.
Boom!!
Xia Yi was blown away and fell to the ground. The Holy Sword had left her hand, and her eyes were spinning non-stop.
The battle was over.
Xia Lulu waved her hand, and all the magic arrays were dispelled. She walked to her daughter’s side. “Daughter, how do you feel?”
“D-Don’t think you’ve won just because of this, you damn Silver Dragon Queen! This time, you were just lucky!”
Xia Yi’s mouth was as sharp as ever!
“Hehe, I did underestimate you a bit, but unfortunately, this is the result. Your allowance is all gone.”
“Waaah!”
Thinking of this, Xia Yi’s nose turned sour, and she felt like crying.
Xia Lulu’s expression changed slightly, as if she had made up her mind. She asked, “Xia Yi, do you want to earn a lot of allowance?”
