Chapter 621: Winged Silver Dragon (2/2)

I ran up the stairs until I entered the palace hall. I saw Queen Sophia sitting regally in her throne and her subjects standing on both sides of the hall. Shadow Dancer Xue Wei was among them as well.

“Eh? Why are you here?” Xue Wei walked up to me with a friendly smile.

I shrugged and replied, “Long time no see, Xue Wei. I’m here to see Xinran. Is she still at the God Domain?”

“Yes, Lord Wind Singer is still searching for the divine sites. Should I take you to her?”

“Yes, thank you!”

I followed Xue Wei all the way to the altar. She summoned a magical formation and tore open a rift in space. Xue Wei wasn’t coming with me, so she simply nodded from the side and watched as I leaped into the rift.

Swhoosh!

My vision brightened as the apocalyptic sight of the God Domain entered my eyes again. The ground was littered with the bones of the gods, giant statues in their image were crumbling or destroyed, and all that was left of their sacred halls were rubbles.

I didn’t walk far before I saw a flash of red in the sky. It was a girl clad in red cape and wielding the colorful Dragonbone Spear. Directly in front of her was a savage-looking winged dragon spitting flames from its mouth. It was only five meters long though.

“There is nowhere for you to escape to, brute!”

Xinran shouted and struck the giant dragon so hard with her Dragonbone Spear that it screamed in pain. After she opened her palm and pulled herself onto the back of the giant dragon’s back, she hammered its head ruthlessly and growled, “You will pay for the lives you’ve taken and the damage you’ve caused!”

To my surprise, the giant dragon actually looked back at her and begged in a deep voice, “I lost, Wind Singer. Please let me go, I promise I won’t eat humans anymore.”

Xinran simply responded with a punch so hard that it sent the scales on its head flying. “You dare beg for mercy? You think I didn’t know what you did when the Dragon Speaker showed you mercy and let you go? You were one of their antagonizers during the Dragon Domain War! Hmph, brutes like you should be beaten to death!”

Xinran punched the dragon non-stop as she spoke. Unable to maintain its flight any longer, it fell from the sky and started gliding toward my direction!

Bang!

A giant cloud of dust erupted from the point of impact, and the screaming dragon skidded across the ground until it came to a stop just one meter away from my Stormy Waves War Boots. The animal was at death’s door already, but when it looked up and saw me it said in the arrogant voice of a dragon, “Heh, a human here in God Domain? Unbelievable. Hey boy, you look like you have several pounds of flesh on you. Do you wanna be my supper tonight?”

I unsheathed the Cyan Netherworld Sword in one fluid motion and said, “Xinran, do you think it’ll shut up if I cut its head from its neck?”

When Xinran saw who I was, she immediately jumped off the dragon’s head and jumped into my embrace. Burying her face into my chest, she said happily, “Big brother, you finally came to see Xinran…”

For a second, I couldn’t tell if this Xinran was the scarily powerful Wind Singer or the mushroom-picking loli I had met a long time ago.

The giant dragon visibly shuddered when it saw how friendly I was with Xinran. It immediately changed its attitude to reverence and cordiality. “Oh, honorable human brave, how can you turn that dark and gloomy sword on your loyal servant? Did you not know that I, Akachi the Winged Silver Dragon, am the Wind Singer’s most loyal servant…?”

I shot the dragon a glance before putting an arm around her shoulder and pointing a finger at it. “What the hell is this thing, Xinran? I’ve never seen such an ugly dragon in my life.”

Akachi the Winged Silver Dragon immediately started shivering when its eyes met Xinran’s.

Xinran giggled. “Big brother, this dragon’s name is Akachi. It’s a cruel, wicked, and cunning monster who destroyed many human towns. I’ve been tracking it for over a month, and today I finally found a chance to wound it seriously.”

I immediately raised the Cyan Netherworld Sword with a smile. “That’s wonderful. Can I kill it? It’ll level me up, and it might reward me with a pet dragon egg!”
