Chapter 196 - 196 Xu Yuan did that?
196 Xu Yuan did that?
The dwarves also didn’t know about the true identity of Xu Yuan. The Black Gold behemoths, the Dark Dragon Knights, and the White Dragon Saint, all called him “Your Majesty”. Hence, they also called him the same.
As a result, it was strange in Su Wan’s territory. When the dwarves addressed her, they called her their Lord, but when Xu Yuan was in the territory, they always addressed him as “Your Majesty”.
Xu Yuan was Su Wan’s hero. However, she was used to the way they addressed her and Xu Yuan. In the beginning, she felt a little dissatisfied because her power and authority were somehow snatched away by Xu Yuan. However, whenever she saw him, he would be sleeping soundly. So, the idea that he was intending to take away her power was absurd to think about.
She found Xu Yuan so lazy that he would take it as a chore if she left the decision-making to him.
Su Wan pondered on the situation that the dwarves just reported to her.
“Xu Yuan did that?”
Su Wan knew Xu Yuan never got involved in things so easily. She recalled the various abilities of Xu Yuan. He might not be able to fight if it came to that. However, his need to survive was incomparable.
Su Wan still felt doubtful. The dwarf commander nodded and then shook his head. “I am not sure, My Lord.”
The dwarf commander had detected Xu Yuan’s aura before the gem appeared in the territory. However, he had not really seen Xu Yuan.
“It must be him!”
Su Wan was sure that Xu Yuan had created trouble and gotten the last gem.
“Other than me, no one else has gems anymore.”
Su Wan thought back to the time when Xu Yuan had disappeared. Lord Carla had claimed to be a member of the Dark Screen. She wanted to wake the mythical beast! Then Xu Yuan had fallen through the cracks and disappeared. After that, Lord Carla seemed to notice that something was not right. She had also disappeared.
Lord Carla definitely seemed like she had a score to settle with Xu Yuan.
‘So, Xu Yuan killed her? Maybe Xu Yuan isn’t as weak as he looks…,’ thought Su Wan.
At this moment, she was waiting to be sent back to her territory since the competition had ended. They could finally get out of the arena, which was about to collapse anyway. But…
[WARNING! An unknown error has occurred, and the contestants’ return coordinates have been lost.]
“What?!” Su Wan looked at the other Lords present.
Lina, Bevin, and Gadar looked pale. Even the three Lords of the Light-Type heroes were frozen in shock.
Everyone had received the same prompt in their mind.
“D*mn it!”
“No!”
“I can’t die here!”
One of the Lords of the Light-Type heroes was anxious. He realized the seriousness of the issue.
Under normal circumstances, their path would never be blocked. Even if they died, they could always be resurrected.
The current situation was strange. Their resources had been snatched away by Su Wan. If they died now, they had no resources to resurrect themselves or their heroes.
Moreover, this had to do with the mythical beast. It was clear that the beast could bypass the Overlord Plane’s rules. If it killed them here now, they would be gone permanently, even if their Territory Core was intact.
“It is no wonder the Hydra wanted to kill himself to leave this place…”
The other Lords also understood why the Hydra had been so impatient.
They all wanted to laugh at him before, but now, they realized he had no courage to continue fighting. They felt the same way.
“But why do I feel like something’s wrong?” One of the Lords of the Light-Type heroes frowned.
“Forget about that,” said another Lord. “Now is not the time to think about that. We should be thinking of a way to save ourselves.”
“The teachers of the academy and even the Sages would have noticed the area collapsing!”
“We just have to hang on till…”
However, the Lords were dejected.
“Stop dreaming! A Sage? Will a Sage really be useful in this situation?”
“It is a beast of the Mythical Level. Only a Mythical Lord can defeat it!”
A Sage was, at most, at the level of a Legendary Lord. Although there was only a level of difference between the Legendary and the Mythical Lords, it was still like a gap between a human and a god. In front of the mythical beast, a Sage would be a joke!
BOOM!
The ground cracked open, and countless blue lights appeared. Everyone saw it through the cracks in the ground.
The butterflies’ wings looked dreamy in the light.
“We’re on the back of a mythical beast!”
The mythical beast had been in that arena long before anybody was even born, buried under the rocks and soil…
Lords and heroes. Countless people have fallen through the cracks.
…
In a territory far away, Lord Aiur opened his eyes.
“We are alive?!”
He looked at the situation in front of him in shock. He had thought he was dead for sure because his resources were gone.
“How is this possible? I remember our resources…”
Lord Aiur and the Hydra looked at each other. Endless questions filled their minds.
Very quickly, their confusion was clarified. In their territory, a few resources had been transferred.
At the same time, a strange, emerald moon hung high in the sky. Lord Aiur looked up at it in puzzlement.
A man floated in the air above Lord Aiur’s territory.
The Lord was dressed in an Emerald Sage’s robe, and the power of moonlight emanated from his body.
A female hero with pointed ears and blue skin hovered close by the Lord.
That was the SSS-class hero, Moon Goddess…
“The Sage of the Moon!” Lord Aiur realized that the situation had gotten even more complicated than he had thought possible if even the Legendary Sage of the Moon was involved.
Lord Aiur felt that it had been a good idea for the Hydra to kill themselves in the arena before.
This Sage was not just any Sage. This was a Sage who was considered one of the top Sages in the world. He was from among the Sages who governed the world.
Even Sages had hierarchies. Among them, the Sages of the Sun, Moon, and the Star were the most powerful.
