Six-Armed Serpent Demon

Page 118

The earth spirit warrior had no time to spare for the girl who had stormed into the tavern.

It drew its sharp sword from its waist and followed the trail of blood into the alley.

Behind the thick curtains on the second floor of the building across the street stood a dragon and a human.

They were originally watching the entire street through the gap in the curtains, including Medusa's tavern, the girl across the street, and the four goblins below.

Just then, the girl suddenly ran wildly across the street, drawing the attention of both the dragons and humans as she rushed into the tavern.

"What's going on?" the human muttered to himself, staring at the swaying tavern door.

"What the hell!"

The dragon companion's angry growl drew the humans' attention back.

"what happened?"

"Those four goblins have vanished!"

The humans quickly looked down at a spot not far below their building, where two groups of goblin warriors had been keeping watch. But in those few seconds of distraction, the four goblin warriors had vanished without a trace.

Chapter 147 Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land

Ivy Beatrice's intense curiosity led her to stay.

The moment she heard the dragon's roar, she flipped off the roof and transformed into human form. Knowing how sharp the silver dragon's senses were, she huddled under the eaves of the house, holding her breath and remaining motionless, not even looking up at the sky.

A biting chill swept through the air as a massive shadow swept across the blazing sky.

She lowered her eyes and heard a deafening roar and howl. In the blink of an eye, an overwhelming cold wave descended upon the earth, and the firelight illuminating the sky suddenly dimmed.

Ivy Beatrice's breath turned into white mist. She felt her body go numb with cold and was horrified to find a thin layer of ice on the silver-blue blade in her hand.

The strange, rustling sound coming from above made her look up.

To her surprise, she saw icicles slowly growing downwards along the direction of the dripping water from the eaves. Looking down at her slightly numb feet, she noticed that the ground was now reflecting the light of ice crystals.

Having faced the legacy of a powerful being in the Tower of Four Symbols, Ivy Beatrice immediately recognized the divinity contained within the ice crystals. The silver dragon Georgrosia, wife of the two-headed evil dragon, was also a being possessing divinity.

Just then, her eyes narrowed.

Something flashed in the refraction of the icicle!

Ivy Beatrice instinctively hunched her shoulders, leaped to the left with all her might, and simultaneously raised "Mand of the Slayer" and swung it upwards.

Before her feet even touched the ground, the silver-blue blade struck something extremely hard, producing a piercing hum.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a huge claw retract with a "whoosh".

Ivy Beatrice pursed her lips as the deformed figure with five arms and yellow scales tumbled down from the roof.

She could hardly believe her eyes.

This guy, isn't he the one I met once in my living room? He's like a ghost that won't leave me alone, and how come he has an extra hand growing on the back of his head?

The deformed monster opposite them took a fighting stance and spoke: "You are not the demon I am looking for... but how come she has your sword?"

If he hadn't drunk the medicinal wine given to him by Shibaragu, Burn Scar would have been able to see through Ivy-Beate's background, but the medicinal wine had already briefly put his "Ma Yuan" back to sleep.

Ivy Beatrice realized that he didn't seem to recognize her as the six-armed serpent demon, but it seemed inappropriate to say anything at this moment, so she simply said, "This has always been my sword."

Burn Scar looked at the triangular symbol in the petrified palm, but no aura appeared on the symbol at this moment.

He looked at her with suspicion, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "You're Ivy Beatrice?"

"it's me."

"What is your relationship with that six-armed snake demon?"

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Ivy Beatrice denied, “I am a paladin.”

"You won't say it, right?"

Burn Scars sneered and got into a fighting stance.

Just as the two were about to clash again, several figures suddenly rushed out from the alley next door in a panic.

Ivy Beatrice glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Medusa-like Stéphane and the girl named Lysa. Stéphane was carrying an even smaller boy on her back, who had already passed out.

Both sides were taken aback when they met.

Ivy Beatrice had seen Stewart use the "Anywhere Door" spell before, and she assumed he had already used it to return to the tavern. Stewart knew Ivy Beatrice's true form was a six-armed serpent demon, and assumed she had already used her signature demonic spell, "Advanced Teleportation," to return to the tavern. Only Lysa covered her mouth; the little girl was genuinely startled, never expecting two people to stand silently in the dark alley, one carrying a gleaming greatsword, and the other with five arms.

Steo exclaimed in a low voice, "Oh my god, what are you doing here? And who are you?"

Ivy Beatrice said, "I came to meet you, what are you still doing here?"

Lysa recognized her voice and looked at her with sparkling eyes.

"I didn't prepare the Anywhere Door today," Medusa said sullenly. "By the way, you should take a look."

The multicolored, garish snake-like hair automatically floated to the left side of her head, revealing the little boy's head on her right shoulder. "This child is sick with a high fever, but I don't know how to expel illness. Do you have a way?"

Ivy Beatrice was at a loss: "Do I look like a paladin to you? I don't know this magic either."

The deformed man, who had remained silent all along, sneered: "Aren't you a paladin?"

Holy crap, I completely forgot about this person...

Ivy-Beate was speechless.

However, she genuinely couldn't cast this spell, and ever since discovering she was a demon and incapable of contracting human diseases, she hadn't even considered carrying anything related to this magic. Unless her "Golden Spirit Servant" level reached a certain level, breaking down the barrier between divine and arcane magic, allowing her to cast priestly magic as arcane magic…

Suddenly, the earth shook violently.

Several people, without prior arrangement, all stood with their backs against the wall, hands covering their heads. Ivy-Beate felt the wall behind her tremble, and icicles from the eaves fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

She heard Admiral Zachasa roar in shock and rage: "How dare you! You have audacity, Keogurosya! Attacking the Dragon King's navy is tantamount to rebelling against the Dragon King!"

The woman's cold laughter echoed throughout the city.

"Destroying three small city-states seems to have given you a great illusion, you overconfident fool."

That was Silver Dragon's voice, sweet yet slightly hoarse. The dragon's unique oral cavity structure created a wondrous resonance between its mouth and nose when it uttered words, making listeners' hearts pound and their souls tremble.

"Don't compare me to those three weak and lowly little trash born to those two bitches, and don't think your master would turn against me for the life or death of an ant like you! Since you dare to provoke my divine kingdom, then die!"

Chapter 148 Thoughts Arise from the Heart

Upon hearing the word "divine kingdom," Ivy Beatrice's blue eyes narrowed.

The Medusa girl, Steo, exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, this is impossible!"

As is widely known, there are no gods in the world of Abel. Divine dragons transform their dreams into divine kingdoms to welcome their loyal followers.

So...where exactly are we in this seaside city...?

“It’s the Silver Dragon’s dream,” Ivy-Beate murmured to herself. “It materialized its own dream, merged it with reality, and transformed this place into its earthly kingdom!”

No wonder the silver dragon's senses are so sharp. When Ivy-Beate was strolling around the city, she only glanced curiously at the castle on the mountaintop across the river, and the dragon noticed her and even sensed her turning around from a distance.

Because she was right there in its territory!

Being in the realm of the gods, how could one possibly remain undetected while spying on the ruler of the realm?

No wonder it can freeze an entire city and bay so easily!

Scarface stared in shock at the rapidly darkening sky: "No wonder that guy fled from Heisconti to seek refuge here..."

Even if the two-headed evil dragon were to come, there would be nothing to fear. As long as she remained in this city, the silver dragon Geogrosya would be invincible!

Suddenly, a series of violent explosions came from further away in the direction of the harbor, and the admiral's furious roar and the silver dragon's cold mockery were carried on the wind.

Steo swallowed hard: "Oh my god, that looks like a warship from the Invincible Fleet. It exploded."

It seems the Silver Dragon has launched an attack on the Invincible Fleet.

Ivy Beatrice suddenly had a feeling.

Perhaps the Silver Dragon Georgrosia has long harbored ambitions to replace the "Dragon of Dragons," only to be suppressed by the Two-Headed Evil Dragon. This time, Hesrati's severely wounded return, having lost a head, has given it the confidence to usurp the Northern Federation. The invincible fleet's provocative bombardment of the port has conveniently provided a pretext for rebellion.

The question is, was Admiral Zachasa's foolish behavior simply impulsive and reckless, or was he being twisted by the will of the silver dragon while in the realm of the gods?

Ivy Beatrice suddenly felt a cold sweat all over her body. The red dragon's head in the dimensional bag was incredibly hot to the touch.

She finally understood why her attempts to accomplish things had failed several times.

It wasn't luck.

The information levels are vastly different.

If you want to cause trouble on someone else's turf, it's useless to just focus on your own goals; you also need to understand what these local bigwigs are thinking.

Ivy Beatrice glanced at the burn scar.

She asked, "Do you still want to fight?"

"If you're interested, I'm happy to oblige."

The scarred man glanced at her, his eyes meeting her emerald green vertical pupils, which instinctively filled him with disgust. "But I still have work to do."

Both of them had a high opinion of themselves, believing they were capable of stirring up trouble. But now, seeing this catastrophic power, they were both somewhat intimidated and, feeling ashamed of their own inadequacy, lost all interest in continuing their infighting.

"so be it."

Ivy Beatrice said absentmindedly, "Let's go."

—The silver dragon Geogurusia blurred the lines between dreams and reality, transforming the seaside city of Geoguru into a divine kingdom on earth…

—And what about Heisconti?

—Hasconti, could it have become the earthly kingdom of the two-headed evil dragon Hesrati, or even become the master behind it, the infernal world of the demon lord Demogorgon?

Without stopping, she led Steo and Lysa out of the alley and jogged towards the port. The demon's "Advanced Teleportation" could only teleport himself plus a heavy load; it couldn't carry four people, so they had to walk.

Suddenly she sensed something was wrong behind her. She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw that the scarred man was following not far behind.

Ivy Beatrice stopped alertly.

She glared at the burn scars: "What are you doing following us?"

"Do you own this road?"

Burn Scar said irritably, "I told you, I have my own work to do."

Ivy Beatrice stepped aside: "You go first."

Burn Scar didn't bother to talk to her anymore. Without any politeness, he passed the four of them and walked quickly. In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared at the end of the road.

Ivy Beatrice watched him walk away and exhaled with disgust.

She felt that every second she spent with the burn scar was torture, and although she didn't understand why, it felt like putting a snake and a meerkat in the same cage.

She didn't think much of it.

Some people are simply incompatible with others from the start; they just don't get along at first sight. This happens quite often.

Her attention is now focused on another issue.

— Re-examining myself, with my current limited strength, do I really have the qualifications to wade into the muddy waters of Heisconti?

—Perhaps we should find a quiet place first and try to extract the divinity from the meteorite dragon's head?

Ivy Beatrice walked along, lost in thought. The more she thought about it, the more convinced she became that this was the right thing to do.

Suddenly, she was slightly startled, realizing that her current mindset was a bit off.

Since her reincarnation, Ivy Beatrice's thinking has become increasingly unpredictable, differing greatly from her pre-rebirth state. Now, she often has a sudden, impulsive thought, acting on impulse without careful consideration, sometimes even without regard for the consequences.

It felt like I was adrift in a chaotic ocean, floating and sinking, unable to settle down.

this is not good.

Ivy Beatrice took a deep breath, clearing her mind of all distractions.

—Don't make any decisions yet. Take a step back, observe the situation, gather more intelligence, clarify your thinking, and then take action.

Chapter 149 The Weakness of the Divine Kingdom

The firelight on the horizon gradually died down.

The sounds of the warships' explosions grew fainter and fainter, seemingly moving away from the bay. It was as if the silver dragon, Kiorgrosya, was driving Zachasa's fleet out to sea.

The port area is safe.

But Ivy Beatrice could still faintly hear the admiral's furious roar carried on the wind.

—Silver Dragon didn't seem to intend to kill him.
