Chapter 46: Desperate Flight and a Fierce Rescue

“Ahoge Dragon… what she said is true… I should have guessed it sooner…”

Mao Yuxia watched Ahoge Dragon, a complex expression on her face.

‘This thing is a dragon?’

The Blood Elf was currently siphoning the blood from Yue Yi and Tailang, leaving Ahoge Dragon and Mao Yuxia untouched.

After all, Gudou Toutian stood nearby.

Would those two dare to flee?

“We’re going to be eaten… we’re going to be eaten… we’re going to be eaten…”

Ahoge Dragon mumbled ceaselessly, consumed by fear.

It truly felt like the end was nigh.

“Don’t be scared, Ahoge Dragon; she won’t kill us for a while. Once Sister Yao Yueli arrives, we’ll be saved, meow!”

Mao Yuxia glanced at the raging fire nearby, wondering why Yao Yueli hadn’t arrived yet.

“Oh, dear~~ Yue Guangyao also has a Night Wolf Clansman beside him; I hope they’re brothers.”

The Blood Elf beamed with delight, anticipating how many people she could control this time!

Once she escaped this place, she would hide deep within the Demonic Beast Forest, slowly developing her strength until she could emerge virtually invincible!

Crucially, she had even acquired a dragon.

“Oww~~ haa~~”

Suddenly, Ahoge Dragon lifted her small skirt, and the demonic patterns on her belly flared with intense heat once more.

‘Her big sister must be engaged in a fierce battle again!’

This realization plunged Ahoge Dragon further into despair; her big sister might not be able to come for a while.

Her eyes lost their focus, and she collapsed onto the ground, allowing whatever was below to run rampant.

“Alright, you two, walk obediently, or you’ll face unpleasant consequences.”

The roaring fire made their location far too conspicuous, and it would become troublesome once people arrived.

As a villainous character, she ought to remain in the shadows!

Mao Yuxia dutifully stood up, but Ahoge Dragon lay on the ground as if broken.

She knew Ahoge Dragon’s ‘episode’ had returned.

Just as Mao Yuxia was about to tend to Ahoge Dragon with her tail, the Blood Elf floated over Ahoge Dragon.

She patted Ahoge Dragon’s cheek.

“Hey! Are you a mouse? Don’t play dead here! Get up, now!”

Having finally captured a dragon, she couldn’t allow it to be ruined like this.

“Um, Ahoge Dragon always gets like this sometimes; please leave her to me.”

Fearing the Blood Elf might harm Ahoge Dragon, Mao Yuxia quickly scooped Ahoge Dragon into her arms.

Despite the considerable weight, she had to take good care of her.

For she firmly believed that Sister Yao Yueli would surely come to rescue them.

“Someone’s coming! Meow-meow, quickly make us invisible!”

Just as they were about to leave, the Blood Elf sensed two individuals suddenly appear not far from her.

They were heading straight for this location.

The Blood Elf had been curious to test the strength of Mao Yuxia’s invisibility.

Mao Yuxia’s heart swelled with joy. ‘Had her Sister Yao Yueli arrived?’

She swiftly vanished with Ahoge Dragon in her arms and bolted to the side.

Regardless of whether she could escape, she refused to wait passively for death!

“Damn it! How dare they run!”

“Blood Magic, Blood…”

“Lightning Flash!”

Suddenly, a purple sword shadow shot forth with incredible speed, interrupting her magic.

“Yao Yueli!”

The Blood Elf gritted her teeth; this individual, possessing a Dragon Demon Artifact, was incredibly difficult to deal with.

“Blood Elf, prepare to die!”

Yao Yueli could sense Ahoge Dragon’s aura all around, instantly knowing that the Blood Elf was responsible for capturing her.

“This is… Her Royal Highness!”

The five-star Black-clad men, who had been pursuing Yao Yueli, also arrived at the scene.

Upon seeing Yue Yi lying on the ground, they no longer concealed their identities.

If Her Royal Highness were to die here, they would face severe consequences!

Fortunately, she had merely fainted. After they slipped a green pill into her mouth, Yue Yi’s complexion quickly improved.

“Cough, cough! This is…”

After a couple of coughs, Yue Yi regained consciousness.

“Kill… kill that Blood Elf… Gudou Toutian is controlled by the Blood Elf… and she wants to control… Imperial Brother…”

“With wings! This is an awakened Blood Elf!”

The Black-clad men finally took a closer look at the Blood Elf loli battling Yao Yueli.

Upon seeing the wings on her back, terror instantly engulfed their entire bodies.

Wings indicated at least a Level Seven Blood Elf. Even their Empress would be powerless against such a foe!

“Worthless! She’s only Level Four! For this princess… kill her! Cough, cough, cough!”

To think these were the valiant generals of her Glorious Moon Royal Clan! Yue Yi was so enraged that she spat out a mouthful of blood!

The Black-clad men also sensed something amiss at that moment and felt deeply ashamed.

This Blood Elf was struggling against Yao Yueli, proving their initial assessment to be false.

They set Yue Yi down and charged at the Blood Elf.

****

‘Boom~~’

A purple lightning blade struck fiercely behind Mao Yuxia and Ahoge Dragon.

Mao Yuxia was truly audacious, running towards the very heart of such an intense battle.

It was precisely because of this that Yao Yueli was able to intervene, shielding Mao Yuxia from Gudou Toutian who pursued them from behind.

Yao Yueli, seeing the Black-clad men arriving to help, began to act recklessly, as they were already pushing the Blood Elf back.

She decided to retrieve Ahoge Dragon, rescue the two of them, and then make a swift escape!

“Don’t even think about it! Blood Magic, Jaws of Blood!”

Suddenly, a powerful force enveloped the entire battlefield. Everyone present felt a terrifying sense of danger.

They watched as the ground beneath them was replaced by a monstrous, gaping maw.

The Black-clad men sensed impending doom and quickly withdrew from the fight, flying towards Yue Yi’s location.

‘Roar~~’

The world turned blood-red, then black, giving the sensation of being trapped inside a massive sack.

“Ah~~”

“Ah~~”

Screams echoed, and in the next second, the world returned to clarity.

Yao Yueli and the Black-clad men simultaneously crashed to the ground, their bodies bearing bite marks and covered in bloodstains.

However, it was merely pain and the loss of a small amount of blood.

They quickly rose to their feet.

The Black-clad men felt a wave of relief upon seeing Yue Yi unharmed. ‘So, it had a limited range after all!’

“Die! Blood Magic, Blood Rage Fire Lotus!”

The Blood Elf, having absorbed the blood of two individuals earlier, had recovered significantly.

A lotus, formed from solidified blood, materialized in her hand.

She hurled it towards the Black-clad men.

The destructive power of this Blood Rage Fire Lotus was immense; she couldn’t risk throwing it towards Yao Yueli, lest it harm Ahoge Dragon and Mao Yuxia!

With a deafening “Boom,” a colossal lotus erupted, its powerful shockwave scattering and sending the surrounding trees flying!

Mao Yuxia had been trying to get closer to Yao Yueli, but the force of the blast was too overwhelming.

She and Ahoge Dragon were both sent flying backward!

“Damn it!”

Yao Yueli ignored her surroundings and pursued them.

The Blood Elf and Gudou Toutian also gave chase.

‘To think these two would be so weak.’

“Blood Magic, Blood…”

As the Blood Elf attempted to cast another spell, the sky above suddenly seemed to be obscured.

‘Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~’

Heavy rain began to fall!

Ahoge Dragon and Mao Yuxia, not having flown far, tumbled to the ground.

Then, countless laser beams descended from the sky.

They attacked everyone in the vicinity.

These were the attacks from the defensive tree towers.

“Damn it! Attacking at this very moment!”

As an Elf, the Blood Elf was immune to the defensive tree towers’ attacks. However, these things were targeting Ahoge Dragon and Mao Yuxia!

Fortunately, Gudou Toutian was relatively close to Ahoge Dragon.

He was the first to charge forward, intent on seizing Ahoge Dragon.

“I won’t let you take Ahoge Dragon away!”

In a critical moment, Mao Yuxia used all her strength to toss Ahoge Dragon backward.

She, in turn, latched onto Gudou Toutian’s leg!

“Shadow Magic, Shadow Bind!”

Black shadows coiled around Gudou Toutian’s leg, only to be shattered instantly in the next moment!

However, this brief delay allowed Yao Yueli to arrive, grab Ahoge Dragon, and then entwine Mao Yuxia with her tail!

She dropped several steamed bun bombs on the spot and made a hasty escape!

Gudou Toutian tried to pursue, but the steamed bun bombs and the defensive tree tower attacks rained down simultaneously.

The Blood Elf lost control, and Gudou Toutian was blasted away!

“Worthless!”

Sensing Gudou Toutian’s life force diminish, the Blood Elf stomped her foot in fury.

Just as she was about to give chase, a large crystal blade swept past her face.

“Die! Argh, argh, argh!!”

The Black-clad men were even more enraged because their Princess had just died under the defensive tree tower’s attack!

They absolutely had to make this Blood Elf pay with her life!
