Chapter 2552: Chapter 1709: Hunting (The Cat Sleeping in a Ball)_2

And this so-called dragon horde was the product of the invasion.

After all, no matter what they’re called, they have that unique, disgusting stench of subspace creatures, and that’s something that can’t be changed.

Duanmu Huai finished the milk in his cup, stood up, and walked to the mission board. In this world, where there are dragons, naturally, there are occupiers who hunt dragons. They are known as Dragon Hunters. All Dragon Hunters possess a silver sword, of course, in Duanmu Huai’s eyes, the silver sword they wield is not merely a simple sword made of silver. Such an attack can sever the spiritual energy flow within a dragon, thereby killing it.

Of course, Duanmu Huai doesn’t need such a weapon. Just relying on his Blood Blade is enough.

Let’s go hunting today as well.

With this thought, Duanmu Huai withdrew his gaze, selected a mission, and then turned and left the tavern.

Right now, he didn’t know where he should go, so he might as well revisit old haunts.

"Roar—————!!!"

In the pouring rain, pitch-black monsters opened their blood-red mouths and roared, advancing in groups like a destructive dark tide that devours everything. Just witnessing this scene would terrify ordinary people to the point where their legs would give out, collapsing to the ground.

Dragons appear in the middle of the night, attacking human cities and villages, exterminating all enemies that stand in their way. Because they can fly, even city walls are ineffective against them.

For the night is their world, and other than the sun, nothing can stop them here.

Therefore, when that golden glow suddenly appears, it’s no wonder these monsters feel panic-stricken and at a loss.

The dazzling light bursts forth from the pitch-black night, illuminating the world before them. The dragons bathed in the glow immediately emit wails and screams of agony, burning all over and then moments later turning into heaps of thoroughly burned ashes.

Is this magic?

Hei Chuan Chi Yin withdrew her gaze from the burning ashes, looking at her palm. Meanwhile, the voice of a girl came from beside her.

"Hmm, not bad, indeed as expected of the woman favored by that gentleman, very smart and sensible. Also, the effect of using magic is much better than that of big sister."

Princess Noren appeared from the void with a smile, landing beside Hei Chuan Chi Yin, while playfully teasing the other side. Next to her, Fureya had a stiff expression and just let out a helpless snort, without saying a word.

"Is Xiao Ai really here?"

"Of course, we’re not lying to you."

"........."

Hearing Princess Noren’s answer, Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s expression was somewhat complicated. To be honest, until now, Hei Chuan Chi Yin felt like she was in a dream, even though she had already arrived in another world, personally witnessed monsters, and even killed them with her own hands. For Hei Chuan Chi Yin, there is still an unreal sensation, she even feels she might be in some film set, involuntarily glancing around looking for a crew or cameras.

Of course, none of these were present.

Honestly speaking, Hei Chuan Chi Yin was mostly wary of the suddenly appearing pair of sisters. The always tense-faced elder sister was relatively easy to see through, but the younger sister with a perpetual smile gave Hei Chuan Chi Yin a bottomless sense of danger.

The proposed trade, in particular, had completely exceeded Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s imagination.

The reason Hei Chuan Chi Yin agreed to them was that in their memories, she saw a familiar yet strange figure.

The tall figure clad in pitch-black armor had appeared several times in Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s dreams. What was the relationship between that person and Xiao Ai?

Hei Chuan Chi Yin thought that there might be some kind of relationship between the two, but she felt it should be two people, such as Xiao Ai being a descendant of that shadow, or that shadow is Xiao Ai’s Guardian Spirit or something.

However...

"Hmm? That gentleman is that gentleman you know, no matter what form they take, the taste of their soul does not change."

Faced with Princess Noren’s smiling reply, Hei Chuan Chi Yin couldn’t help but find it a bit absurd.

However...she also felt that the other party did not lie because Hei Chuan Chi Yin had always thought Xiao Ai’s behavior and personality did not resemble a girl; if it were a man, it seemed quite normal.

Of course, Hei Chuan Chi Yin couldn’t use magic. The current magic was gained after she obtained Fureya’s memories from the pair of sisters. According to Princess Noren, learning magic requires repeated practice.

There’s trouble in that world right now, why not just go there to practice. Besides, that gentleman is in that world, if you want to assist him, this is a good opportunity, right?

Of course, their help wasn’t just due to goodwill—if it could be like in TV or comics, where an ancient being sacrifices itself for the one they love, silently protecting them, that would be fine. But the trade proposed by Princess Noren was......

"We can help you gain the strength to serve that gentleman, but we also need you to do something for us."

"What is it?"

"We want you to have that gentleman’s child."

"Child?"

"That’s right, my sister and I have been waiting for that gentleman, even if he left us and won’t come back, we aren’t willing to just let our longing remain within our hearts. So, we hope you can give birth to us again so that we can reunite with that gentleman once more."

Honestly, it sounded like the ravings of a madman, and Hei Chuan Chi Yin even wondered if there was something wrong with her ears, or if the sisters were already abnormal.

However, at this time, Hei Chuan Chi Yin recalled Duanmu Huai’s words.

Telling them is no use because they can’t fight at all.

Indeed, it was this point that prompted Hei Chuan Chi Yin to make up her mind, making her decision.

From this perspective, she felt she could understand these sisters, not just standing by watching, but fighting together until the very end. This was also Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s thought, so she accepted this trade, as well as this condition.

"Then, let’s continue forward, and wipe out all the scum that stands in our way with this momentum!"

"Will we really be able to find Xiao Ai like this?"

"Of course."

Facing Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s inquiry, Princess Noren chuckled softly.

"Do you think that gentleman is someone who would obediently hide their whereabouts?"

".........indeed."

After the brief conversation with Princess Noren, Hei Chuan Chi Yin raised her head, looking ahead.

This time, she would definitely stand by Xiao Ai’s side.
