Chapter 218: "She is not the one sleeping with him...
Seeing the count down on the screen Qie Xieling took out the dragon heart scales that had an iridescent glow shimmering in the sunlight and whispered, "Here. Do what you have to do."
King Luo, "..."
If he hadn’t fallen in love with Qie Xieling yet then he had most definitely fallen in love with him now. Instead of saving himself, he was retrieving the dragon heart scales for him.
As King Luo reached out to accept them, a surge of energy coursed through his body, causing him to gasp. His body was suddenly surrounded by a scintillating aura of light so brilliant that it was blinding. Qie Xieling took a step back as Loviator let out a scream of fury, "No!!" with the veins on her neck throbbing her eyes red. She launched a powerful spell towards King Luo, hoping to subdue him, but the light surrounding the king effortlessly vanquished her dark magic. Her attack was scattered into nothingness.
Undeterred, Loviator redirected her wrath towards Qie Xieling, venting out her anger towards him. However, Qie Xieling, having regained his own magical abilities, swiftly erected a barrier, deflecting Loviator’s attack with a swift wave of his hand.
Just as Loviator was about to unleash another spell at him, a sudden bolt of magic struck her from the side. It was Jolie who stood resolutely, defending him. The impact of Jolie’s spell sent Loviator stumbling backwards, momentarily disoriented.
Witnessing the imbalance, Queen Yana joined the fray to aid her mother. The kingdom’s serene ambience erupted into an intense battle, with Qie Xieling and Jolie pitted against Loviator and Queen Yana.
The clash of magical forces was so fierce that it sent shockwaves rippling through the ground. Citizens and soldiers, fearing to be the collateral damage, began to scatter in a panicked retreat, seeking safety from the chaos that ensued. Boran and Yunning protected them from stray attacks as they ran for shelter.
Amidst the chaos, the monesteric monks valiantly attempted to subdue King Luo, still shrouded in the blinding light. However, their efforts proved futile as the divine protection engendered by the dragon heart scales shielded the king from harm.
The clash between good and evil raged on, with spells and enchantments illuminating the battleground. Each side fought with unwavering determination, fully aware of the high stakes involved.
Jolie managed to momentarily pin down Queen Yana. "Stay down," said Jolie in a mocking tone but Queen Yana lost her shit after hearing it.
"You bitch! You steal somebody’s man and still dare to say that to me. How shameless," she said and Jolie’s eyes widened.
What man? If Mittens finds out there would be a whole lot of whining and crying. She wouldn’t hear the end of it.
"Excuse me," she said as she laughed out loud. Her amusement was cut short when sharp daggers were shot in her direction. She leapt into the sky avoiding the attack.
"She is not the one sleeping with him. It’s your good half-brother. Your boyfriend was taken by another man," said Loviator making the situation even more awkward.
Qie Xieling walked out of the bushes a little disoriented. It wasn’t because he had been attacked. He had managed to dodge but something was wrong with him. Rubbing his chest he stumbled out of the bushes and found six pairs of eyes looking at him.
Qie Xieling creased his brows and asked, "What?"
Queen Yana freed herself and strode over while pointing at him angrily. The situation quickly changed from an end-of-the-world fight to a domestic issue in a matter of seconds.
"You slept with King Luo?! You slept with a man," she roared while Jolie came in between them protecting Qie Xieling.
Qie Xieling who actually hadn’t slept with King Luo but just helped each other thought,
’Wait did that count? That wasn’t sex, right?’
Why was everyone pressed about it like they had gone all the way?
"If you must know we were both drunk and stuff happened," he said wishing they could all move on from this and fight. It was really not a big deal.
Jolie wanted to yell lies. What drunk they were most definitely sober. The way his eyes were shifty and his fingers rubbing against each other led to the conclusion that he was lying.
"You loved me. You betrayed him for me yet you sleep with him. I ought to kill you myself!" yelled Queen Yana.
"And you killed me so we are even. Now can we fight? This is really none of your business," he said with no fear because Jolie was backing him up. He was just like a younger brother bravely facing his bullies because his big sister was there. He was literally hiding underneath her skirt and Jolie even wanted to rub his fluffy head in comfort.
"See what I meant Yana. Men will betray you but you just had to fall in love. It hurts, doesn’t it?... Then what are you going to do about it?" Queen Yana clenched her fist enraged. It seemed a deadly catfight was about to happen.
As the intense light slowly receded, a magnificent sight unfolded before the eyes of all who were witness to it. King Luo emerged from the ethereal glow, his form now transformed into that of a colossal dragon. Standing at an astonishing 180 feet in height, his mighty figure was adorned with platinum scales that seemed tougher than any shield known to exist. Whispers among the onlookers claimed that these scales were virtually indestructible, gleaming with a mesmerising blue sheen that shimmered in the sunlight.
With eyes as piercing as sapphires, King Luo’s majestic presence commanded both awe and reverence. The dragon’s heart scales, symbols of his compassion and benevolence, returned to their rightful place, adorning his chest and radiating a gentle, celestial light.
However, this transformation revealed a side of King Luo that had remained hidden until now. The image of him as the most compassionate being in the universe was shed, replaced by the raw power and magnificence of a dragonborn from Bahamut.
He let out a thunderous roar that shook the very foundations of the surrounding landscape, announcing his presence to all.
But King Luo’s emergence did not go unnoticed by Loviator.
Seizing the opportunity, she leapt into the sky, attempting to unleash the same deadly ailment that had struck Bahamut in the past. Yet, before she could make her move, she found herself suddenly attacked by Eling.
Qie Xieling being a sorcerer of draconian bloodline from Tiamut, a bitter rival to Bahamut’s lineage, had been consumed by the love he held for King Luo.
As Loviator’s malevolent intentions were revealed, Qie Xieling’s blood boiled with an intensified strength that surged through his body. In one swift strike, he fiercely engaged Loviator, channelling the powers of his draconic heritage.
However, the strain of such power and the poison in his body took its toll on Qie Xieling.
His body succumbed to the excruciating pain that coursed through him almost making him black out.
Meanwhile, King Luo engaged Loviator in a fierce battle of immense proportions. With every swipe of his colossal claws and each powerful flap of his wings, he unleashed his divine wrath upon the evil goddess.
At the peak of the heated battle he took out the nine stranded whip and struck her with it as he chant an eerie spell. Seeing her nine stranded whip in his hands her eyes widened. She couldn’t believe it. She wanted to ask but it was too late.
She was banished back to the depths of the underworld where she belonged. He had finally defeated Loviator but at what cost?
