Volume 4, Chapter 53 – The True Power of Wrath

The Black Dragon King’s enormous body coiled high in the sky.

After spitting out his threats, the Black Dragon King roared and spewed downward a blast of scorching Dragon Breath that only the dragon race could wield.

“If I take that head-on, I absolutely can’t withstand it… but if I do nothing, the Black Dragon King’s breath will fall straight into Eden City!”

Facing the Dragon Breath rushing toward her, after weighing the pros and cons Tianyin still chose to tank the Black Dragon King’s breath head-on.

“If that’s how it is, then there’s no helping it… Wall of Sighs!”

A blood red wall was summoned by Samael, but it only managed to block the Black Dragon King’s breath for a few seconds before shattering in an instant.

“Xiaoyin—”

At that moment, a thick, ice cold wall suddenly appeared in front of Tianyin and barely managed to block that breath attack.

The one who had blocked the strike was the hastily arrived Xiaobingxue. After giving Tianyin a worried glance, Xiaobingxue’s eyes, which had once again turned completely emotionless, moved straight to the Black Dragon King in the sky.

“Xiaoyin, I’ll help you.”

“Mm.”

Samael replied softly. Even though Tianyin herself was not the one controlling the body at the moment, Samael’s response was the same as what Tianyin herself was thinking.

“Interesting, interesting… I didn’t expect Dawn to have a dragon among you… and she even faintly has the potential of a Dragon King?”

The moment he laid eyes on Xiaobingxue, the Black Dragon King saw through her nature. After letting out a mocking laugh, one terrifying silhouette after another gradually appeared behind him.

“Trying to pull a two-on-one? Sorry, I, the Black Dragon King, have always followed fair one-on-one battles…”

The massive Black Dragon King’s voice was dull and heavy.

With his words, one warped and terrifying silhouette after another descended.

Every one of those figures radiated a powerful aura that belonged to the Legendary tier, and in Tianyin’s senses there were actually eighteen of these Legendary beings.

“As part of the plan, I leave the city below to you, Demon Lords!”

As the Demon Lords descended, the Black Dragon King’s lips curled in a smile that said victory was already in his grasp.

“Hahahahahahahahahaha… the Ninth Faction, is it? What a pity. This prosperous world is destined to be turned upside down by us demons!”

The Demon Lords completely ignored Tianyin and Xiaobingxue. Their wicked gazes stared straight at Eden City below, which had already gone into maximum alert.

「Their target is all of Eden. We have to hurry and stop those bastards!」

Once the Demon Lords appeared, Samael immediately sensed how serious the situation was.

『Got it!』

Tianyin understood as well, but just as she was about to act, the Black Dragon King’s gigantic body moved and directly blocked her view.

“Little brat… your opponent is me. What, you think you can go do something else without defeating me first? Just what are you thinking?”

“You…”

Samael opened her mouth to retort, but the Black Dragon King’s attack came again, and this time, because of how close he was, the Black Dragon King swung his claws straight at Samael.

Clang—!

At the last possible instant, Samael quickly pulled back, and just as the claws were about to slice into her, she swung the Victory Golden Sword up to meet the massive dragon claw.

An indescribable force travelled down through the tip of the blade. Even with the reinforcement of the Seven Original Sins, Tianyin’s already frail body was wracked with unbearable pain.

“You can still take a full power strike from me while distracted… but next time you won’t be so lucky!”

“Heh…”

Samael ignored the Black Dragon King’s words and instead looked toward Xiaobingxue, who looked like she wanted to help.

“Xiaobingxue… a battle at this level is out of your reach for now… so I’ll leave those Legendary-rank demons to you!”

“Mm…”

After giving Tianyin a deep look, Xiaobingxue flew without hesitation toward the Demon Lords behind the Black Dragon King.

“You still have the mood to worry about others in the middle of a fight… are you looking down on me, little brat?”

The Black Dragon King’s voice suddenly rang out. Even though he had been some distance away just a moment ago, he now flew directly up to Tianyin’s face.

“My speed might not be the best among the Thrones… but getting close to you while you’re distracted is more than easy enough!”

At some point, a thick, powerful dragon tail covered in black scales had already begun sweeping toward her.

This time the Black Dragon King’s attack came far too suddenly, so much that even with Samael’s astonishing reflexes she could not get a guard up in time.

So, caught off guard, Tianyin was struck directly by the sweeping dragon tail.

“Uwah…”

Her HP instantly dropped by one third, and the massive pain ripping through her body from the tail strike snapped Tianyin out of Seven Original Sins mode. The blood red in her eyes went dark at that moment.

「Are you okay, Xiaoyin!」

Back in Tianyin’s mind, Samael was eaten up with guilt, but the Black Dragon King’s attacks were already coming one after another.

『This is no time to be beating yourself up! Samael, go back into Seven Original Sins mode!』

「Got it!」

Her dim eyes had only gone dark for less than a second before blood red “flames” flared back to life in her pupils.

The Black Dragon King’s sweeping tail attack came in again right then. Having already experienced being hit by it once, Samael, who had taken control of Tianyin’s body again, reacted in time this round.

She unleashed their advantage in speed to the fullest, and just as the tail was about to hit Tianyin, her figure vanished from where she had been.

“Hmph… you only have the edge in speed. In a frontal clash you’re no match for me at all. So how exactly do you plan to defeat me, little brat?”

His follow up strike whiffed, yet the Black Dragon King felt no shame. On the contrary, his tone was quite smug.

Samael, controlling Tianyin’s body and having reappeared in the Black Dragon King’s line of sight, had a face that was growing calmer.

“Whether I’m your match or not, you’ll know if we keep fighting, won’t you?”

The knight sword in her hand pointed straight at the Black Dragon King, and in that instant a blood red light bright enough to illuminate the sky wrapped itself around Tianyin’s small body.

“This is…”

Feeling the ever intensifying Throne-tier aura pouring off of her, the Black Dragon King narrowed his eyes.

If Knight Princess Fisiel were here to see it, she would find that Tianyin’s current state, her whole body shrouded in blood red light, was almost identical to the Holy Knight’s state known as “Stage of Light”…. aside from the color.

“This is the unique skill I possess as Wrath.”

Samael muttered to herself in a voice that sounded like only she could hear it.

“This is the endless rage I want to vent after taking that hit from you for nothing…”

And at that very moment, the power of Wrath that Samael had never used before finally revealed itself.
