Book 4: Chapter 58: Fight

Lilith sighed, “Where are the rest?”Finnd new chapters on nove/lbin(.)com

Titan 12138 smiled bitterly. “Putting up one last desperate fight, as you suggested.”

“Do they stand a chance?”

“No. The titans are not as prosperous as a thousand years ago. On top of that, our king... Oh well... it’s hopeless.”

Lilith fell silent for a moment then suddenly said, “Devour all living beings... that means...”

“Yes. Everything that is ‘alive’ in this world. This flower, grass and even you, won’t be spared.”

Lilith looked around.

They were no longer at the vast grassland. The leaves of those shrub-looking short trees around them emitted a faint indigo light like fireflies. They were the little sources of light in this moonless night.

There were probably hundreds of round huts in this village, most of which were built to fit the height of the short titans. Only the hut next to Lilith was taller than the rest and seemed like it was made for a normal human.

Titan 12138 quickly explained upon noticing Lilith’s eyes on it. “This is the royal bed-chamber that we have built for our king’s return.”

The specially built ‘royal bed-chamber wasn’t only much taller than the other huts, it had also been carefully decorated. The mud bricks were inlaid with many colorful stones that glowed faintly in the dark. Instead of thatch, the roof was made of countless layers of valuable animal leather.

And they were only dressed in clothes made of tree barks.

“Are those black devils... powerful?”

Lilith suddenly asked, despite having no intentions of getting involved in the first place.

Titan 12138 was taken aback for a moment before beaming. “Have you finally decided to fight, your majesty?”

“It’s not like I have a choice. Those black devils are targeting all living beings and I’m one of them.”

Lilith smirked and added, “It’s not like I’ve decided to help you all out of sympathy.”

Titan 12138 suddenly kneeled on the ground and bawled, “I know, I know. You said the same thing last time too, your majesty!”

“I told you I’m not your king.”

Lilith refused Titan 12138’s respectful bow and sighed. “Although I’ve decided to help you, you better remember that I’m not your king.”

“I got it, I got it.”

Seeing Titan 12138 still acting extremely respectful, Lilith couldn’t help but wonder if she really got that.

“So your king really said that last time?”

“Huh? Said what?”

Titan 12138 had a strange look on her face, as though she didn’t understand Lilith’s question.

“Huh?”

This ruin should be a small world. Although she didn’t know how it was formed, things like barriers definitely existed in a standalone world like this.

It was more accurate to say that this small world seemed to have some sort of strange Authority in place. Lesiah felt suffocated as soon as she entered.

But this was what made it interesting.

Lesiah’s lips curled into a small smile.

If it wasn’t exciting, then her efforts of sneaking away from home to participate in this Golden Demon Htilil hunt would be wasted.

She had always yearned for all those thrilling adventures that she read in storybooks, so she was thinking of coming here to experience it once.

According to the plots in some banned books she read, it was very dangerous for a princess like her to participate in adventures like these. If she wasn’t careful, terrible things like getting r̲a̲pe̲d̲, assaulted or gang-r̲a̲pe̲d̲ could happen to her.

But then again, this was reality. Not some dumb story written by some stupid authors. What were the chances of that happening?

If something like that were to really happen, she would also run for her life.

All of a sudden, Lesiah raised her sword and pointed in a certain direction with a serious look on her face. “Something’s going on there.”

“Understood.”

The old man pinched his fingers. A shimmering fine thread formed between the tips of his fingers. His thin fingers danced and soon, a strangely-shaped bird was created with the fine thread.

He shut his eyes and blew at the bird. The bird flew in the direction indicated by Lesiah at a speed far surpassing that which a rank nine warrior was capable of.

Moments later, the old man’s eyes snapped open with a look of horror on his face.

“Over there... It’s crawling with monsters!”

“Monsters?”

They already found something interesting this soon?

Lesiah stroked her chin with interest. “Are they strong?”

“Not individually. They’re at most only rank three or four. But the numbers...”

The old man gulped before continuing with much difficulty, “Are overwhelming.”

“Overwhelming? Interesting. I’ve decided. That will be our destination.”

“We mustn’t, your royal highness! Given that number, nothing good will come out of going there even for us!”

“No. I’ve decided. We’re going there.”

“B...But Princess, didn’t you just say...”

“Fortune favors the bold.”

Lesiah turned her head and gave the old man a confident smile. “Don’t worry, Coleman. You should know my capability best. At least in these ruins, I am unstoppable.”
