Chapter 54

Vyvyan looked at the yellow sand surrounding them . She aggressively extended her arms and stopped the strong winds around . The sand, therefore, stopped flying about and returned to the ground . Standing in the sandstorm, Ying nodded: “A magic barrier, I see . It is my first time seeing an area totally covered in sand . ”



“A weak mana barrier can only disrupt our hearing and senses . Back up a bit, Ying . I’ll destroy these mana barriers . ”

The wind, sand and dust were operated using mana . As such, whether or not inanimate things such as the sand and dust could move, depended on the strength of mana . Elves and dragons were different . Elves, themselves, didn’t possess much mana, but they could communicate with the mana in the atmosphere . Hence, they could pass on orders . Dragons, on the other hand, possessed an exorbitantly high volume of mana, but they were poor at commanding exterior elements .

Ying, who was very sensitive to mana, immediately felt as though all of the elements in the environment were enveloped in Vyvyan’s mana; more accurately, they gathered around under her command . Vyvyan was the ruler of the elves and the ruler of the magic in the land . All elements and mana obeyed the power of the demi-god . In an instant, the wild winds and scattered sand enveloping the desert fell to the ground . The bright moon finally pierced through the sand burial, lighting up the entire desert with its silver light .

“Inard…”

Vyvyan softly murmured her brother’s name . Mana was hereditary, so traces of mana could feel familiar . Vyvyan immediately felt the mana around was from her brother, more accurately, her late brother, Inard .

Inard might’ve been Vyvyan’s elder brother, but the difference in their mana superiority was significant . She dismantled the barrier that Inard went through so much trouble to erect . Vyvyan looked at the grains of sand on the ground and snickered . She stepped on it in an angry fashion . She seemed to be speaking to herself, yet seemed to be speaking to somebody when she swore an oath: “You idiotic womaniser . You never wholeheartedly looked at me once! I did so much for you, but you never spared me a sincere look . You looked at Elizabeth and many, many other women, yet you never loved me, and now you’re trying to stop me from rescuing my son, as well! I will never let you stop me! Ever! Inard! I’ll be sure to slay the dragon this time, I swear it!”

“Vyvyan, there is something overhead . ”

Ying drew her long sabre at her waist . The blade could only reflect the ice-cold moonlight . Xia was quietly lying inside the lighthouse, but her true body was in her sister’s hand . Vyvyan raised her head . A scorching flame flew toward them . A massive light appeared between the two of them, turning the flame into dispersing fireworks . At the same time, an enormous shadow came down from the sky similarly to a falling meteor .

Ying swiftly positioned herself in front of Vyvyan to guard the both of them . She swung her blade and collided with the approaching shadow . The sound of her blade clashing with the black scales was intense enough to make one hiss . The big attack sent both of them staggering . If it wasn’t for Vyvyan’s mana barrier and the demonic sabre’s mana, the two of them would’ve been crushed .

The enormous figure flew up, and then landed to the side . She vigilantly watched the two, and then roared . The dragon sluggishly looked at her wound on her claw . She was bleeding, and her blood dripped onto the sand . Dragon scales were the toughest object in this world . They consisted of mana and countless days of sharpening with metal, hence their immense toughness . Not even magic could destroy them, let alone blades . Humanity’s cannons would just explode on them, and all you would see would be smoke left over, as the cannonballs would just bounce off . Therefore, she had never suffered any wounds here before .

The two were different as the dragon thought . The two were the most powerful foes she had ever faced . It was the first time she knew what fear meant . She feared the woman in green . She had never sensed such overwhelming mana and fury . She was easily the most frightening evil demon in the world . The reason dragons were fierce creatures that made people cower with their powerful mana . However, the elf before her was even stronger than her .

Her dragon scales she was proud of were easily cut off . She had no chance of defeating the two . None at all .   She could most definitely escape if she fled; the two couldn’t possibly catch her if she flew . They could defeat her, but they couldn’t fly faster than her . Then, she could coop up in a cave . The two of them would soon leave, as they wouldn’t be able to survive in the desert . Alas, she couldn’t do that, because her son was sleeping inside the cave . She couldn’t allow her child to be endangered in her own territory . She had to kill the two . She had to challenge them despite knowing that she couldn’t defeat them . Otherwise, how was she going to protect her child?



“See that, Ying? It’s just a wild beast . Besides spitting fire and being oversized, it’s nothing . ”


Dragons were considered an old and esteemed friend and foe for the elves . Besides feeling fearful of dragons, elves also respected them . At that moment, though, Vyvyan was only enraged and had an urge to kill the dragon before her, emotions which could be seen in her eyes . She coldly added, “Ying, there’s nothing scary about this dragon . It can’t withstand your blade attacks and can’t get through our defences . Hurry and finish it, and then take my son home!”

“This woman is trying to steal my son!! This woman wants to steal my son, who I found after going through so much!!’ How dare this woman rob my family and warmth I worked so hard to establish?! He’s my son! He’s the treasure the man I loved left behind . He called me ‘Mom . ’ He has acknowledged that I am his mom . My son is so cute, and I like him so much . He’s my son . He may not share my dragon lineage, but he’s still my son! I cannot hand over my son and the bliss that I worked so hard to obtain! There’s absolutely no way that’s happening!” the dragon said to herself .

The dragon had her bottom line that she refused to give up on no matter what, and that was applicable for Vyvyan, too . Vyvyan wasn’t the only one seething with rage . The dragon was furious, as well . Neither of them was willing to back down . Both of them charged at each other with the determination to kill the other . Neither of them was able to give up . It was impossible .

==============

I vigorously opened my eyes . Something was weighing me down . Something seemed to feel wrong . It felt similar to frantically reacted when attacked . I tensely looked left and right, but there was nothing around . All I heard was the sound of gold coins clanging . I didn’t even see anybody, let alone some incident . I calmed myself down then hopelessly shut my eyes . I felt as though I must’ve had a nightmare . I must’ve been abruptly awoken because of a nightmare, I thought . Nevertheless, I couldn’t shut my eyes again, because I felt unsettled . In fact, I panicked whenever I shut my eyes . It was as though somebody was urging me on whenever I shut my eyes .



Irritated, I sat up . I didn’t have the foggiest idea as to what I to do . The dragon wasn’t with me . I had no idea where she had gone . Perhaps she had gone to prepare breakfast . She basically had no idea how to cook . She just sprayed fire to cook the meat .

I followed the path in the cave to slowly reach the exit . However, ahead of me was a heavy stench of blood . I dallied for a moment . I was sure it wasn’t the smell of breakfast the dragon prepared for me, because the dragon wanted me to enjoy fresh breakfasts . That was why she always brought back things that were still alive . She wouldn’t bring something dead back .

“Where is the blood coming from? The White Deer King?!” I questioned .

A bad premonition suffocated me . The dragon was unlikely to be the only carnivore in the desert . There might be panthers, lions or something else out there . I couldn’t rule out the possibility the White Deer King was attacked . The dragon would be able to threaten them, but the dragon wasn’t around, which meant there was nobody to threaten them .

I picked up my pace . I stepped over the dark deep and shallow puddles of water to rush to the exit . The bright sun stung my eyes when I arrived outside . . I froze up . I never expected the sandstorm to disappear .

“Does the sandstorm in this desert ever stop?” I pondered .

Once my vision was restored, though, I didn’t want to bother with when the sandstorm vanished . In the centre of the lake was an enormous body, but the owner was barely breathing . The lake was red as a result of her bleeding . She was bleeding from underneath her shattered scales . If the blood in the lake wasn’t moving, it’d practically be impossible to tell that she was still alive .

“What’s wrong?! What’s wrong?!! What happened?! Who hurt you?! Wh-… What do I need to do…? What do I need to do?!” I asked .

I was scared silly . I never thought the powerful dragon, who was around me just a few hours ago, would be covered in wounds . I never expected the dragon, who I considered invincible, to be wounded so severely . I was afraid; with a blank look on my face, I fearfully ran over . I wanted to know what I could do .

“Don’t come! Don’t come here!!” The dragon’s cries from ahead echoed .

“Son! Son!! You’re all right! You’re all right! I’m so glad you’re all right!! Mommy has come to save you… Mommy has come to save you!!”

I suddenly heard a familiar voice that sent chills down my spine coming from my side…
