Dirt and rocks tumbled down without end, and the hydra roared violently . It waved its tentacles furiously amid the sizzling sound of flesh .

The hydra charged towards Thales and Little Rascal .

Without any time to think, Thales reacted on instinct Little Rascal was stunned with terror . Thales hugged her tightly and jumped aside .

*Bang!*

A tentacle smashed into the ground with a loud crash . It sank a portion of the street .

Thales and Little Rascal coughed violently in the thick soot and dust .

"Quick-cough, cough-run!" Thales said to Little Rascal through great difficulty .

But in the next moment, another tentacle smashed the ground with frenzied roars .

… . .

Not far from s.h.i.+eld District, two men supporting each other conversed in an indescribably solemn manner .

"What did you say?!" Gleeward asked, shocked . "Are you sure?"

Nicholas supported the veteran with a solemn face . "Ah, I was saying that there is a reason why Kilika has a name, and had its own page in history . "

The Star Killer pursed his lips, his face becoming paler .

"The 'Legend of the White Blade Guards' says that Kilika is not the Blood Mystic's appendage or creation . It has a life of its own . And even though this monster maintains a close connection to its owner, it can survive independently .

Gleeward inhaled deeply . His eyes were wide open .

The lame, one-eared veteran's face twitched . "Are you saying that that thing… even when its owner isn't around?"

Nicholas nodded and supported Gleeward as he strode over a fallen little tree . "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, it's King Raikaru's archenemy, Kilika, the Evil Hydra . "

Nicholas raised his head and looked towards one direction, as though sensing something .

"Even after the Blood Calamity is sealed, it can move around on its own . "

*Bang!*

With the residents' frightened screams, a ma.s.sive, red monster that had not been seen for a while reappeared on a nearby street . As tall as a building dozens of stories high, its huge body carried a large impact force . Gleeward gaped in shock .

Narrowing his eyes, Nicholas stared at the hydra and took a deep breath . It was moving its limbs wildly and pounding the street so hard that soot and dust flew everywhere . "Worse still, without the constraints of its owner, it will become more violent, more fearsome, more… reckless . "

In the distance, a ma.s.sive tentacle pounded the ground . Nicholas sighed .

Gleeward looked extremely furious . He roared with resentment and anger . "F*ck!"

Right in front of their eyes, more than ten madly screaming residents who just barely escaped death were smashed into mincemeat by the tentacle's ma.s.sive force .

… . .

Another tentacle in the air mercilessly smashed down on the ground .

Thales clenched his teeth hard, and as if the world was moving in slow motion, he grabbed Little Rascal and dodged the tentacle again by rolling on the ground .

*Bang!*

Again, they barely managed to dodge the hydra's mindless and frenzied whipping .

Thales rolled on the ground . The friction caused his knees to bleed from a sc.r.a.pe . Lying in Thales' bosom, Little Rascal's entire body trembled .

Thales felt dizzy . His eyes and muscles ached incessantly . He had used the Sin of h.e.l.l's River to the limit .

Again, the giant tentacle swept towards them .

Thales hugged Little Rascal tightly as she kept her eyes closed . He lowered his head quickly and hid behind a low wall .

*BOOM!*

When they raised their heads, half of the wall had disappeared .

'Why did this happen?' Gritting his teeth, Thales lamented his misfortune . 'If Giza isn't… Then where is she? I would rather she come straight for me! Why does she play tricks on us like this? Does she intend to kill us like how a cat would kill a mouse by toying with it?'

He was furious .

At the same time, Kilika seemed to be extremely furious too .

It whipped its giant tentacle about crazily, pounding the ground without attempting to hold any of its power back, and swept away everything that moved .

*Bang!*

Dirt and rocks splattered over Little Rascal and Thales . The latter felt pain on his head . A stone had hit his head, causing Thales to feel his head swim .

He shook and collapsed on the ground with Little Rascal's frightened screams .

Thales panted and his chest felt heavy . He collapsed on the ground, still feeling dizzy .

'So tired . . . So painful . . . So sore . . . '

He had no energy left .

'Can I… Just lie here like this?'

Screaming, Little Rascal pulled Thales' arm hard, dragging him out . . .

One meter… Two meters . . .

Just like how she dragged Thales away from Giza's clutches .

"Run, quick," Thales said . His mind was groggy . "Run, quick…"

In a daze, his consciousness slipped away .

Little Rascal was still not willing to give up . Gritting her teeth and holding back tears, she placed Thales' arm over her neck . With her thin and small body, she supported the boy's powerless body with all her might .

"Hold out a little longer…"

Thales regained some awareness . He subconsciously thrashed his limp and aching feet around, but he did not have the energy to hold up his body at all .

Little Rascal stubbornly continued to carry him . Gritting her teeth, she s.h.i.+fted outside step by step .

"Thales… Thales…"

*Bang!*

There was another smash . The ma.s.sive vibration toppled the already-unstable children .

Thales rolled over while his mind was still in a muddled state . His eyes were half open, and his vision was a little blurred . His whole body ached, and he felt a little cold, too .

*BOOM!*

At that moment, even the ma.s.sive sound nearby made by Kilika was different to Thales .

*Whoosh…*

"Hah… Hah . . . " He panted heavily .

Thales felt Little Rascal desperately pulling him again .

'd.a.m.n it . This d.a.m.ned night . ' He thought powerlessly as he shut his eyes .

*Whoosh, whoosh…*

The second prince raised his trembling hand and tried to prop himself up from the floor . In the end, he let it fall without strength .

*Woo… Whoosh…*

He panted weakly .

'Strange . . . Why is there… thunder?'

*Woo… Whoosh… woo…*

'No . It's probably…'

Thales opened his eyes fully as he was dragged by Little Rascal . His mind was in a state of confusion .

'Probably my ears ringing . Why-why would there be thunder in winter?'

*Whoosh… Whoosh… woo…*

The ringing beside his ears continued .

'Thunderstorms in winter?' He shut his eyes again and thought in his daze, 'Isn't there a poem in the Han Music Bureau…? Thunder rumbles in… thunder rumbles in winter…

'What comes after winter?

'Oh . Snow falls in summer . Not till… not till something ceases…'

At that moment, Thales felt the hand that was dragging him back relax its grip suddenly .

'Hah . . . Little Rascal… Is she out of strength and giving up, too?'

Despite the vague haziness, Thales opened his eyes a little . Little Rascal's stunned face appeared in his vision .

'Eh?'

He noticed something else: Sparkling droplets were falling from the sky .

'Is it raining? . . . No . ' Thales blinked his out of focus eyes . 'This is…'

His pupils suddenly narrowed .

'Rain that sparkles slightly with a dark green light? No, it's not rain . '

Once he was certain of what he was seeing, Thales giggled while his mind remained groggy .

'It's fire . Dark green fire . The sky is… raining fire? Haha, how funny . '

Thales blinked with a muddled mind .

'Raining fire?'

*Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…*

'Thunder again? Haha . Not just Mystics, but also… thunder in winter, and fire raining from the sky . Haha, such an interesting trip to Northland . '

When Thales almost slipped into unconsciousness, other people in the city were also staring at the abnormality in the sky in shock and panic .

Flanked by White Blade Guards, King Nuven was totally stupefied when he looked up at the sky . Just like the White Blade Guards who stood behind him .

"This is impossible…" The king's voice trembled .

At the periphery of s.h.i.+eld District, Kohen mercilessly knocked the Phantom Wind Follower out . The latter lay limp among the ruins . On the other hand, Miranda had the prince's attendant, who drew his sword to strike back, firmly under her control .

In the next moment, all three of them raised their heads . Their eyes became as wide as saucers

"Oh G.o.d, oh G.o.d, oh G.o.d…"

Muttering continuously, Kohen was not even able to finish a sentence . He no longer cared about going after Ralf anymore .

Miranda and Wya, who were engaged in a swordfight, had their eyes and mouth agape in shock . They slowly lowered their crossed blades .

"Am I dreaming?" Wya subconsciously shook his head .

While under an eave nearby, the white-clad Raphael looked as if he could not believe his eyes . He raised his hands and rubbed his eyes repeatedly .

"Is this a joke…?"

After seeing everything before him clearly, he clenched his teeth and balled up his fists, in a state of disbelief .

In s.h.i.+eld District, Nicholas furrowed his brow and shook his head while in a daze .

Supported by Nicholas, Gleeward was, at first, shocked, then he trembled, unable to contain his excitement .

"I knew it, I knew it! We…"

All the residents of Dragon Clouds City were gaping with amazement . They all stared at the dark green fire that rained from the sky . A burnt smell lingered in the air and gradually intensified .

Thales detected the burnt smell and he opened his eyes with considerable effort .

He saw a giant tentacle not too far away . It was… burning in a dark green flame .

His eyes widened .

After recovering some strength, Thales finally took in what was happening .

Green flames continued to fall; they fell right on the hydra's body and its tentacles; the hydra began to combust .

Thales watched in amazement at the hydra roaring in pain .

The dark green flames were not huge in size, they were just tiny dots compared to the hydra's ma.s.sive body . They were even smaller that the sparks from dying flames .

But the moment these flames came into contact with blood and flesh, they rapidly became larger, brighter, more brilliant . It was as though they were alive and conscious, and they would swiftly engulf all flesh in flames .

Cowering in pain, Kilika no longer had the strength to lift its tentacles, as if those green flames engulfed everything in its body .

Watching the strange, dark green flames, fear rose in Thales' heart . However, as if they possessed the ability to see, these seemingly merciless flames only fell on the hydra's body, not even touching the ruins beside the tentacles .

The flames continued to burn… until the hydra stopped convulsing; until its ma.s.sive body slowly crumpled on the ground; until all the tentacles turned into ash .

Lying on the ground, Thales blinked and shook his head with all his strength, trying to make his fuzzy mind clear .

At that moment .

*Whoosh… whoosh…*

The wind roared loudly .

It came cras.h.i.+ng into his face and was deafening to the ears…

. . . and swept up soil, sand, snowflakes and ash .

This unusually strong wind made Thales and Little Rascal incapable of opening their eyes, they had no choice but to cover their faces .

The next second . . .

*BOOM!*

A deafening sound echoed . The ground shook .

Thales felt his entire body jolt . Their feet rose half a foot above the ground before cras.h.i.+ng down heavily .

Lamenting his misfortune, Thales clutched his arm that had knocked into a slab of stone . Before he had the chance to caress his aching b.u.t.tocks, a substantial gust of air rushed forward with the kind of fearsome momentum that could break anything .

*Whoosh…*

More dust and soil was swept up . Thales hugged Little Rascal tightly and pressed himself to the damaged wall to hide from the strong wind .

At that moment, Thales realized something .

'Asda, the Air Mystic is back . ' His heart felt a little calmer .

The roaring wind died down .

Panting, Thales and Little Rascal raised their heads slowly . The second prince felt Little Rascal freeze suddenly, then she started to tremble .

'Right . After all, Asda left such a great negative impression on her . '

With a sigh, Thales stood up .

He looked towards the direction of the strong wind… and froze . He bit his lip and widened his eyes .

Among the combusting green flames, the sky full of ashes, and the incomparably dark night… he saw a pair of bright yellow eyes, as clear as amber .

The eyes stared at him without moving, exuding a type of aged serenity and wisdom . It was as if those eyes could see through the human heart .

He saw the creature's dark red, simple, and st.u.r.dy appearance . The dark red portion was made up of several patches connected together . They dazzled brilliantly under the light of the green flames .

He also saw the creature's erect body, and a long neck that formed a curve .

At that moment, he was a little amazed . The creature seemed so elegant and dignified to him, with a natural aura of stateliness .

Of course, Thales did not neglect the creature's most prominent characteristic . He shook his head violently and blinked as if his life depended on it . He then raised his hands to rub his eyes .

Thales inhaled deeply and, after eliminating all other possibilities, firmly and resolutely confirmed his judgement .

"That's right," he said softly to himself .

Thales forced his heart to calm down, which was beating even more intensely than when he faced the Mystics . He tried his best to stay calm and tremble less . He then took continuous deep breaths .

'That's right,' he repeated in his heart .

Finally, Thales gulped with some effort . Staring at the creature's ma.s.sive body, Thales told himself, 'Thales, you're not crazy . You're really not crazy . You saw… You really saw, with your own eyes…

'A legendary . . . Real . . . Gigantic . . . A few dozen meters tall . . . A living…

' . . . dragon . '
