Chapter 18: The Beast of the Fallen Heaven

Her slender, five fingers spread towards the sky, the Dragon-form Saint between them separated into strange sections by her fingers.

“Miss Mianbao.” Hu Qingyu reached out and grabbed Mianbao’s wrist, stopping her strange behavior and pulling her out of her bizarre trance.

“Let’s go.” Hu Qingyu pulled Mianbao’s hand and ran, catching up with Kunta and Wendi.

“Ah, Grandma Kunta! Big Sister Mianbao!” Xixi saw the four of them running over hastily from afar and eagerly waved to them.

After everyone in the Kunta Song and Dance Troupe had boarded the magi-mobile, it started up.
Leaving this place was the best decision right now.

“Old ladies, what were those four-limbed monsters that appeared out of nowhere?” Hu Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief after feeling safe in the carriage.

Kunta said, “The end of the Second Epoch, the 【Battle of Lan’ernaduo】.”

“That is to say, decades ago, the people who originally lived on the 【Dead Moon】 Lan’ernaduo invaded the Lazel Continent under the leadership of the 【Holy Moon Princess】…”

“Slap!” Mianbao suddenly slammed the table heavily and stood up straight.
Table HP -1.

“Miss Mianbao?” Hu Qingyu looked askance at Mianbao, who had suddenly stood up beside him, baffled.

“What’s wrong, Firia? Did I say something wrong?” Kunta’s sharp gaze fell on Mianbao like a knife.

“Eh!?” Mianbao trembled all over.
“I-I-I-I don’t know, my body just moved on its own. Wow, I’m sorry!”

Mianbao immediately sat back down, placed her hands on her legs, and quietly lowered her head, acting like a good little baby.

“What a strange young lady.” Kunta complained about Mianbao, giving her a big eye-roll.
“Then I’ll continue. Under the command of the 【Holy Moon Princess】, besides the strongest 【Eleven Holy Knights of the Throne】, there are also 【Saints】 who are stronger and more terrifying than the high-level magical beasts on the Lazel Continent. The 【Saints】 have different forms and abilities, but they are generally divided into three categories: 【Parasite】, 【Spiritual】, and 【Dragon】.”

“Let’s not talk about the 【Spiritual】 form for now. You have already seen the 【Parasite】 and 【Dragon】 forms. They are those numerous humanoid monsters and that giant magical beast.”

“Grandma Kunta, I remember King Edis eliminated all those people back then, right? Why are they appearing now?” Mianbao asked.

Wendi answered this question: “Who knows? Back then, Edis claimed to have eliminated the 【Holy Moon Princess】, but in fact, he didn’t. Now that the 【Saints】 have appeared again, I’m afraid the 【Holy Moon Princess】 is about to be born as well. And you, Hu Qingyu, may have been summoned to this world for some necessary reason.”

Wendi’s withered finger pointed at Hu Qingyu, uttering words that dealt a devastating blow to his position.

Hu Qingyu didn’t feel particularly flustered.
He leaned lightly against the carriage wall and said playfully, “Does this old lady mean to say that I am the 【Holy Moon Princess】?”

As Hu Qingyu’s words fell, Mianbao burst out laughing.
Hearing him say that, Mianbao couldn’t help but imagine Hu Qingyu wearing women’s clothes.
“Hahahaha, Hu Qingyu, the Holy Moon Princess, pfft hahaha!”

‘Very strong, very captivating.’

“What are you laughing at?” Hu Qingyu’s tone was once again filled with a terrifying murderous aura, which made Mianbao choke and turn her laughter into choked sobs.

‘Which one is the real Hu Qingyu, the gentle and pure one or the one with the occasional murderous aura?’ Mianbao sometimes thought.

“Then what about that Dragon-form Saint now? Are we just going to leave it here?” Hu Qingyu said.

Wendi shook her head.
“We just need to leave this place. Someone will be specially assigned to handle it.”

“Edis’s subordinate, the 【Labyrinthine City’s Holy Maiden】, Xirui. It is said that she is specially responsible for handling such unexpected incidents.”

“【Light Chaser】 has not received target signal. Activating Plan B.”

“Destruction, begin.”

An ominous red light burst from the Dragon-form Saint’s linear eyes.
Its dragon mouth opened wide, and a red ball of light continuously condensed within it, before transforming into a thick red beam that swept across the land before it in the next moment.

Explosions, burning, and falling trees were completed in an instant.

The power of the Saint’s beam attack was so strong that even the people in the Kunta Song and Dance Troupe’s magi-mobile, which was already far from the scene, felt the intense fluctuations.

“This power… they are getting stronger and stronger.” Wendi’s perception felt the residual power of the fluctuations, and her face turned pale.

“Chirp—” A strange sound came from the Saint’s mouth.
It spread its fleshy wings, flew into the air, and continuously shot powerful beams of light around, like a giant turret mounted in the sky.

“Sensing heat source, tracking.” The Dragon-form Saint’s eyes flickered a few times.
It stopped its meaningless destruction, and with a beat of its wings, it rushed in the direction of the Kunta Song and Dance Troupe’s magi-mobile.

“That 【Saint】 is flying towards us,” Hu Qingyu said with a solemn expression, pulling his body back in from the window.

Wendi said, “No, we must interfere with it, reduce its movement speed, and buy time for the people from 【Labyrinthine City】 to come and support us. Otherwise, everyone here will die.”

“What if the story about the 【Labyrinthine City’s Holy Maiden】 is false?” Kunta said.

“We have to believe it now, whether we want to or not!” Wendi said, casting a spell to float up.
“I’ll use an amplification array to enhance my magic, which can achieve interference at such a long distance. You go and settle the little girls in the carriage.”

“I’m going too!” Mianbao also stood up.

“Don’t joke around. Do you know magic too?” Wendi waved her hand.

“I don’t?” Mianbao said in a low voice, unzipping the white backpack with one hand.
“But I have this.”

【Sirius】 was taken out by Mianbao.
The magnificent and domineering giant firearm surprised everyone present.

“This is—”

Wendi carved an amplification array on the roof of the carriage, raised her staff high, and began to prepare a high-level spell.

“Target direction confirmed.” Mianbao set up Sirius, calmly placing one eye on the scope.

“I’ll attack the Saint’s left wing, you attack its right wing. Try to be as accurate as possible, do you hear me?” Wendi directed loudly.

“I know.” Mianbao’s voice was cold, her face expressionless, just like Zero.

“Stop.” The cross of Sirius’s judgment aimed at the right wing of the approaching Dragon-form Saint.

“Stop your advance!”

“Boom!”
