Volume 4, Chapter 65 – Another Reversal

Under the Black Dragon King’s sudden attempt to win her over, Xiaobingxue… no, to be precise, Ysera, although moved, was still somewhat hesitant.

“I… what reason do I have… to trust you?”

Toward the dragon clan, Ysera, whose true personality had awakened, felt no goodwill from the bottom of her heart. After all, as a child she had been abandoned by her dragon parents. It would be strange if she did feel any goodwill.

So, suppressing the sadness in her heart, Ysera’s tone became a little wary.

“What reason? For the reason that I’m the only one who can gather all Seven Original Sins!”

As the Black Dragon King said this, his tone became extremely confident.

“Come on, trust me. As long as I become the Seven Original Sins, I can help you revive the Undead Grand Duke! How about it, this condition isn’t too much, right?”

There was no denying that the Black Dragon King’s promise to bring Undead Grand Duke Sargus back to life was very tempting to Ysera.

Over this, grieving over the Undead Grand Duke’s death yet slowly calming down, Ysera began to form her own decision in her heart.

“I appreciate your good intentions.”

She shook her head and rejected the Black Dragon King’s offer.

“Someone as treacherous and crafty as you, Black Dragon King, Father has taught me since I was little never to believe anything said by someone like you, so I won’t trust you…”

“Hm… what? You?”

“Eh?”

Ysera’s words left not only the Black Dragon King dumbfounded, even Tianyin, who had just been scared half to death with worry, was full of confusion.

“You mean… you intend to oppose me?”

With things having developed to this point, the moods of both the Black Dragon King and Tianyin were like riding a roller coaster, going up and down nonstop.

The Black Dragon King’s mood had gone from delight to fury, while Tianyin’s mood had gone from worry to happiness.

Hearing the Black Dragon King’s question, Ysera gave Tianyin a complicated look, then slowly shook her head.

“I don’t want to oppose you, Black Dragon King. You’re the one who awakened the me who had been running away from the cruel reality of Father’s death. You’ve made it so I have no choice but to face that reality…”

Saying this, the girl’s expression once again turned unbearably sad.

“Father is… the most important person to me. He passed away, I should have followed after him, but the home Father left behind… still needs someone to put it in order…”

As she spoke, Ysera once more turned her gaze toward Tianyin.

Meeting the girl’s rather complicated gaze, Tianyin once again had a bad feeling in her heart.

“Thank you, for giving me another home during the time I was asleep… but that home, to me, has never really been my home. I, Ysera, from beginning to end, have only ever had one home.”

The meaning in Ysera’s words was already very clear.

Yet even though she understood what Ysera was saying, Tianyin still could not bring herself to accept it.

“Wait… Xiaobingxue… are you, are you going to… leave?”

“Yes. But before that, I have to thank you no matter what… Xiaoyin. To thank you for taking care of me all this time, this time…”

As she said this, a flicker passed through Ysera’s eyes.

Crack, crack—

The next second, a crackling sound rang in Tianyin’s ears, and when she looked toward the source of the sound, she saw the Black Dragon King’s arm was being covered in a thick layer of frost with a harsh crackling.

『Samael!』

「Chance!」

In their minds, Tianyin’s and Samael’s voices rang out at the same time, and in the real world Samael controlled Tianyin’s body to instantly break free from the Black Dragon King’s arm, which had been bound by Frost Power.

At the instant she escaped, the frost covering the Black Dragon King’s arm shattered in an instant, but his reaction was still just a bit too slow. Tianyin’s speed suddenly surged, and in the blink of an eye she had appeared at Ysera’s side.

“Frost Dragon Ysera… you intend to do battle with a fellow dragon like me?”

The fact that Ysera had helped Tianyin break free of his control left the Black Dragon King seething with rage inside.

“Black Dragon King, ever since I was abandoned by my real parents back then, I’ve no longer been part of the dragon clan. I am Undead. I, Ysera, for all my life belong to the Undead race!”

“Hahahahaha! Ysera, you toss away your noble dragon status and actually choose to be one of the Undead? Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?”

“Not ridiculous at all. So what if it’s the Undead race? My father Sargus is also a dignified Grand Duke of the Undead race!”

“Hahahahaha, if I’d known, I wouldn’t have followed what that thing said and awakened your memories… In the end I’ve only created a Throne-tier enemy for myself. Laughable, laughable!”

After Ysera firmly stated in her tone that she would not join the Black Dragon King, though the fury in his heart was boundless, on the surface the Black Dragon King only laughed instead of raging.

“Interesting, interesting. But if it’s just the two of you, you’re still not my match!”

Looking at the still somewhat weakened Tianyin and the Frost Dragon Ysera, who had only just awakened her power, the Black Dragon King was still very confident he could defeat them.

“I don’t actually want to get involved in this, but this person once helped me… so this time, I’ll just treat it as repaying a favor.”

As she said so, in the next second, Ysera’s figure vanished.

The instant Ysera disappeared, the Black Dragon King’s figure also vanished from where he stood.

As the two of them suddenly vanished, Tianyin’s gaze involuntarily lifted to the sky.

Because at some point, far higher up in the sky, two colossal bodies that blocked out the heavens were coiled there.

『They’ve both taken on their true forms… but the Black Dragon King’s true form is bigger than Ysera’s true form… if we don’t help, Ysera definitely can’t beat the Black Dragon King…』

Back at the Northern Fortress, the Wrath-empowered Tianyin alone had utterly crushed Ysera at that time, so Tianyin was very clear about Ysera’s strength.

「I know, Xiaoyin, let’s go help too!」

As soon as those words fell, up in the lofty firmament, a black and a white giant dragon, whose outstretched wings alone spanned dozens of kilometers, began a brutal dragon battle.

Biting and tearing.

Dragon Breath.

Claws raking and slashing.

On the way as Samael rushed over, the two dragons had already clashed countless times.

But anyone with eyes could tell that among these two dragons, the black giant dragon held the upper hand.

It was worth mentioning that during this time, Fallen Angel Mihiel, noticing that the Black Dragon King seemed to have no time to bother with their side and sensing an opening, had also begun leading the Fallen Angel legions to search for Lucifa, who had been trapped by the Black Dragon King.

Thus began the battle in the sky between Throne-tier dragon and Throne-tier dragon.

And because the two giant dragons were fighting at such a high altitude, even from very far away, quite a few NPCs and players noticed something unusual in the sky.

“Look… it kinda looks like two birds are fighting up there!”

A sharp-eyed player who had spotted the strange sight in the sky called out to the teammate beside him who was fully focused on grinding monsters.

“Birds? Where, where?”

Because of the great distance, the two giant dragons locked in combat looked to the players here just like two little birds brawling.

“For real, it’s my first time seeing two birds fighting in the sky!”

“Record it. If we upload it to the forums it might turn into an interesting topic…”

“Mm, you’re right.”
