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

Volume 2 Chapter 43



43. Black Knight

Xia Yi raised the Holy Sword and loudly declared:

“This is magic!”

Gran was completely dumbfounded.

Perhaps such a statement was too absurd.

Have you ever seen a magician, wielding a Holy Sword, claiming to use magic?

“Your Highness, this is a magic course exam!” Gran criticized sternly, “This is not a swordsmanship test!”

“No, this is magic!”

“How does this resemble magic?”

“It resembles magic in every way!” Xia Yi began to argue forcefully, “A magician releases magic, needing a magical instrument to amplify the power of the magic, to stabilize the output of magical power, right?”

“Um, that’s correct.”

“So, this sword is now my magical instrument, the same effect as a magic wand, this is like the Rose Staff, also my instrument!”

“Huh?” Gran’s mouth twitched.

“Releasing magic requires magical power, what I just released… is a wave of magical power!”

Xia Yi stubbornly explained the sword qi she had emitted as a wave of magical power.

Perhaps this was unique in the world.

“…”

“Do you see, isn’t this reasonable? I used the staff, released, used a wave of magical power, blocked your fireball spell, therefore, this is magic!”

Gran was stunned.

Xia Yi’s reasoning seemed so sound, he was left speechless—

As if!

As a master of magic, Gran had heard such nonsensical statements, it was simply unreasonable.

“Your Highness, summon the Rose Magic, continue to use magic and fight with this old man!”

“No, this is magic.”

Xia Yi insisted.

It was Gran who was being unreasonable first, so she would be unreasonable too.

“Fine, Princess, you really won’t cry until you see the coffin, it’s time to teach you a lesson. Summoning spell—The Undying Black Knight.”

Gran quickly chanted in Draconic.

Damn, this old guy, really going hard!

Xia Yi had a bad feeling.

The other party was already using Draconic to release magic, and when chanting in Draconic, the consumption of magical power would increase a lot, and correspondingly, the level of magic would also receive a huge boost.

Now what Gran was casting was a summoning spell, which is a branch of magic.

The caster makes a contract with the summoned creature, pays the price in the contract, and lets the summoned creature help in combat.

Being a magician herself, Xia Yi of course understood that there was an iron rule in fighting magicians—

Interrupt the magician’s chanting!

She made a decisive move, lifted the Holy Sword, and charged at Gran, raising it high.

She also didn’t forget to shout loudly: “Wave of magical power!”

Clang!

In front of Gran, a crack appeared, a black gauntlet reached out, deflecting Xia Yi’s attack.

With the completion of Gran’s summoning magic, the crack fully opened, and a knight covered in pitch-black armor slowly walked out.

This was Gran’s summoned creature, which would not act without his command, just silently watching Xia Yi.

Xia Yi felt that under the dark armor, there was nothing, very eerie.

“Your Highness, have you heard of a legend?”

“What legend?”

“A long time ago, there was a human, a rare genius in the world, who set out on a journey to various countries in pursuit of the ultimate in martial arts, constantly challenging strong enemies to break through his own limits,” Gran explained.

Xia Yi was stunned for a moment.

Wait, why does this plot sound familiar?

“After challenging countless strong enemies and becoming a legend, this human finally realized a truth—as a human, there are limits.”

“…”

“Despite being an unparalleled genius, no matter how hard he tried, he could not touch the realm of higher beings, this is the shackle brought by the human shell. However, heaven gave this human a chance, in an ancient ruin, this human found a suit of armor, this armor had infinite possibilities, could let him surpass humanity, but the sleeping armor needed to be reawakened, and the price was the life of a strong person.”

“Could it be…”

Xia Yi seemed to understand.

“That’s right, this human gave up his own flesh and let the sleeping armor awaken, attaching his soul to the armor, losing most of his self, but becoming an almost immortal existence—thus, the Undying Black Knight was born. In the long history, the Black Knight has signed summoning contracts with many people, fighting to this day. Princess, as your opponent, this should be more than appropriate, right?”

Gran began to command.

“Black Knight, eliminate the enemy.”

The Black Knight raised his gauntlet, clenched it, and a pitch-black longsword was drawn from the void, a red light emerged from beneath the faceplate, and both fighting spirit and killing intent surged forth simultaneously.

The Black Knight’s dark aura spread outwards, brushing past Xia Yi’s face, almost tangible, forcing her to retreat.

This oppressive feeling, even surpassing that of elite dragon guards, was overwhelming.

“Your highness, you’re in trouble now,” Gran said.

Now, the Princess must be feeling fear, right?

Who would have thought she would use such cunning?

Soon, Gran wouldn’t even need to use other spells to see the Black Knight single-handedly overpower the little Princess. The objective gap in their realms was laid bare.

It was perfect for crushing the Princess’s arrogance.

“The Black Knight has forsaken most of his self to become a pure machine in pursuit of martial arts, even most fourth tier elite dragon guards are no match for him.”

Xia Yi lowered her head, her body beginning to tremble slightly.

Gran couldn’t help but laugh.

The Princess’s performance was already showing fear, indeed, facing such a monster, anyone would shrink back.

“It’s wonderful, absolutely wonderful! This is what I wanted!!”

Xia Yi’s hand, holding the Holy Sword, began to tremble, her fighting spirit soaring.

It turned out that her trembling was not out of fear, but excitement.

She felt her blood boiling, her soul quivering.

And the Holy Sword responded to Xia Yi, its radiance growing even more dazzling.

“Come, Black Knight, bring out all your strength, crush me, make me despair, defeat me! With your sword, make me submit!!”

Xia Yi’s sword intent surged, even pushing back the Black Knight’s dark aura.

Feeling this sword intent, the Black Knight also became excited, letting out a roar like a wild beast, then swung his black sword, like a mountain, smashing down towards Xia Yi.

Xia Yi sank her weight, bracing the Holy Sword against her body, choosing not to dodge but to face the strike head-on.

“Not enough, this is still not enough, Black Knight, let me enjoy some more, this isn’t enough to make me go all out! Is this all you’ve got?”

The Black Knight launched a furious assault, and Xia Yi blocked it all.

Gran was stunned.

This scene was too shocking, a nearly three-meter-tall Black Knight and a white-haired loli fighting back and forth in close combat…

And the Black Knight’s realm was much higher.

Had the Princess activated something?
