Chapter 103: The Night of Terror in Atad City, Adelaide Kingdom’s Strategic Border Town (Part 2)

Not long after Clyde’s wicked freight carriage fleet had left the city, the undead calamity erupted. This fact proved that a lunatic truly couldn’t be stopped. Third Young Master Hal relied on the Skeleton General’s black iron crown and offered himself up as a sacrifice, successfully activating the Undead Calamity Magic Ritual Array.

The troops of Steinbeck Fief attacking here had received information in advance and had been prepared. Princess Natalie who had assumed command had made a prompt decision. She had directly given up on attacking Earl Harrison’s palace and withdrawn her troops, transferring the main forces outside the city. They hadn’t even had the time to sort out their companions’ corpses. The corpses of friendly forces from moments ago could rise in the next, turning into troublesome foes.

“Verly, I said that someone wanted to trigger the undead calamity, but you didn’t believe me. Now, you ought to believe me. When have I lied to you?”

“How can this be? Darn, there still are many innocent common people below.”

Sacred Moon Dragon Knight Verly who had been fighting in the sky above Atad finally noticed the abnormality. The entire city below was shrouded in death qi coming from the earl’s residence. Earl Harrison’s residence palace that originally had been Atad’s strongest defensive building became the first place to fall. Under the effect of the large-scale death qi from the undead calamity, many sleeping people died on the spot and rapidly transformed into undead. The spreading of this effect was far faster than the infection speeds of biochemical hazards.

Sacred Moon Dragon Knight Verly now couldn’t afford to fight against the Three-Headed Demonic Dragon Knight, Demon Princess Andrea. She urged the silver dragon she rode, planning to rush over to save people. Although the matters of Adelaide didn’t have anything to do with her, the undead calamities on Ximengsi Continent were tacitly approved to be Light Church’s responsibility, and she was just a passerby Dragon Knight, she couldn’t pretend to see nothing.

For her knight’s duty and her own beliefs, she decided to help Atad. However, just when she was ready to change directions, Three-Headed Demonic Dragon Knight Andrea commanded her three-headed demonic dragon to block her. Her response was quick, as if she had already expected that Verly would definitely take such action.

“Andrea, get out of the way. I want to go save these people. I will finish the contest between us next time.”

“That won’t do. Verly, I refuse. Are you stupid? Do you want to help these worthless people who kill each other? Besides, you alone cannot deal with this undead calamity. If you go, you will get killed. I will never let you die in the hands of another: you can only die by my hands.”

“Enough, you demoness. Do you have a principle to always lecture me?”

“Nope, but your current time belongs to me. Dont care about this undead calamity. If you go to save people, I will trigger the evil spirits to descend from the sky. At that time, I will see how you will respond to a double attack.”

Verly was helpless. With Andrea tangling with her, she had no chance to save Atad. The humiliation and pain dealt a great blow to her morals as a knight.

The strengths of Verly and Andrea were close, so it would be very difficult for them to reach a conclusion in a short time. If the other party truly wanted to stall for time, Verly would be utterly helpless. Her silver dragon couldn’t defeat that three-headed demonic dragon of Andrea’s. Even if it used all its strength, it would be difficult to breach the other party’s defenses.

“Humph, Verly, you have finally let me occupy the initiative this time. See that carriage fleet preparing to sneak out of the city? It must be a noble intending to run away. I will immediately wipe it out and let you see the tragic sight of hope vanishing into thin air.”

“Stop! Andrea, your opponent is me! I will not allow you to harm innocent people. Stop!”

“I won’t! Watch that carriage fleet disappear!”

Demon Princess Andrea was like a little girl whose prank was about to succeed, and she displayed a mischievous smile. After provoking Sacred Moon Dragon Knight Verly, Andrea prompted her three-headed demonic dragon to dive down. Her target was the carriage fleet that had escaped the undead calamity. Verly followed closely behind on her silver dragon, attempting to stop Andrea’s crazy actions; however, she was too slow.

Before they could reach it, that mysterious carriage fleet stopped after leaving the city for an unknown reason. Then, a person wearing a grey cloak emerged from the carriage and gestured at the ground, seemingly drawing some kind of magic array. Because of the torrential rain, Andrea was unable to determine what that person was drawing, but she anyway didn’t care. She just prompted her three-headed demonic dragon to launch a surprise attack. It would become the most regreted decision that she had ever made since birth. She would pay a grand price for her recklessness.

“Disappear, carriage fleet! Eh, this is...”

According to the instructions of its master, Demon Princess Andrea’s three-headed demonic dragon opened its big mouths, directly spraying “Dark Waves” towards that carriage fleet. Because all three heads had attacked, this attack was actually a “Triple Dark Wave”. Each demonic dragon head sprayed out black, dark-energy light beams that shot towards Clyde’s fleet in a spiraling crisscross pattern.

In the next second, a situation that Andrea had never expected happened. Just before “Triple Dark Wave” reached the carriage fleet, an invisible energy defense barrier blocked it. After hitting this barrier, “Triple Dark Wave” didn’t give rise to even the slightest fluctuations. This exceeded the understanding of Andrea. Three-headed demonic dragon’s “Dark Wave”, The might of this “Dark Wave” move alone was very high; in addition, it had been a threefold attack whose might had multiplied over three times. Even the battle angels of Divine Realm wouldn’t dare to take this attack head-on, not to mention an ordinary human. Even Sacred Moon Dragon Knight Verly behind her wouldn’t dare to take a “Triple Dark Wave” head-on. That carriage fleet must have an issue.

Before Demon Princess Andrea could carry out her next plan, many black, long “tentacles” sprang from the ground and shot towards her. Her mount three-headed demonic dragon was immediately bound and pulled to the ground. The three-headed demonic dragon struggled with all its tremendous strength, but it was still unable to struggle free.

A mysterious hurricane blew over, seemingly appearing from the void. Andrea was caught unguarded, so that mysterious hurricane directly knocked her from her mount’s back. While she fell, her demonic dragon armor was cut into pieces by that mysterious hurricane. The other party was clearly showing mercy; otherwise, she would have easily been ripped to pieces.

“Andrea, don’t panic! I am coming to save... I am coming to save you. You fiend, let go of Demon... let go of Andrea!”

Sacred Moon Dragon Knight Verly was in an awkward position. She couldn’t properly form her thoughts. Although she had been a dragon knight for so long, this was the first time she had ever rushed to save a Demon Princess from the hands of a fiend. She concentrated on the scene before it. Andrea hadn’t fallen to the ground, but has rather been bound by those tentacles in midair. It looked like the tentacles were about to XXOO her. This scene was too wicked, comparable to the CG scene of certain adult H games.

Dark red blood flowed from the corners of Andrea’s mouth, and her face was filled with terror. She had seen the face of that mysterious person and been so badly scared that her snowy white legs now violently trembled. Fortunately, it was dark and heavily raining; otherwise, she certainly wouldn’t have been able to hide the fact that she had ** herself in fear.

“Verly, quick... quickly leave!”

When Andrea saw that Holy Moon Dragon Knight Verly intended to save her, she warned Verly in a trembling voice. She wanted Verly to leave quickly; otherwise, it would be too late to escape. However, Verly who cared not for her own safety placed her sacred holy shield in front of her and rushed towards that mysterious cloaked man.

After seeing the true face of that mysterious person, Verly stalled in the sky, then she fell along with her silver dragon mount. She had been unable to launch even a single attack. While falling, Verly vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and her armor broke into pieces. She similarly had fear written all over her face, an instinctual fear that came from deep in one’s heart. The other side had intentionally shown mercy; otherwise, Verly would have already exploded into pieces.

A dozen or so tentacles rushed towards Verly and bound her, and she was caught together with Andrea. The mounts of these two princesses, the three-headed demonic dragon and silver dragon, were forcibly teleported back. Because their masters had lost consciousness, their summonings were forcibly reversed. They could only watch their masters fall into the hands of another while fading from existence.

“You guys are truly venomous. Whether you two love each other or want to kill each other, what does that have to do with me, a passerby? I just wanted to draw a magic array. Is that not allowed?”

That mysterious person wearing a cloak was Clyde who had transformed into his original form, a Great Old One. In this form, whoever looked at him would feel indescribable terror. He had intended to draw a soul luring magic array on the ground to take away all those undead creatures created by Hal’s undead calamity, but he had become involved in the battle of these two dragon knight princesses.

No one could look straight at the Great Old Ones. Verly and Andrea were not killed on the spot only because of Clyde’s mercy. Nevertheless, those tentacles were not under his complete control. Verly and Andrea has been caught simply out of instinct. As for that wicked binding method, it was not Clyde’s intention.

“Master, what’s going on outside?”

“Nothing... By the way, Jenny, are there any vacant seats in the carriage? I have picked up two little kids. Come over and move them in. I won’t peek at you, so you don’t need to be nervous.”

“Picked up? These two are little... little kids!”
