Even If I’m Reborn as a Cute Dragon Girl, I Will Still Make a Harem
Book 4: Chapter 59: Easy Victory“So those are black devils?”
Black skeletons that reeked of blood crawled up from the grassland where Lilith was earlier. Crimson flames burned in their empty eye sockets. They held rusty weapons in their hands and growled, pouncing on the titans who had formed a defensive formation.
“Aren’t those just black skeletons?”
As Titan 12138 mentioned, they were indeed not powerful — probably only around rank three or four. If there was only one, then any random old janitor in St. Caroline would be able to beat it with his broom until it had to look for its lost rib on the ground.
Their number however… couldn’t be simply described as ‘many’.
It was…
Overwhelming.
The vast grassland was now dyed black. As the titans defeated skeletons after skeletons, new black skeletons would come out from the ground endlessly as reinforcements.
On top of that, these black skeletons couldn’t be defeated by just simply destroying a certain part of them. If one of their legs was broken, they would hop around. If both of their legs were broken, they would crawl around. If all of their limbs were broken, they would continue dragging themselves toward their target by using their chin. It was almost as if they were controlled by some conviction that commanded them to never stop until their targets were crushed into pieces.
They were even more terrifying than those zombies that would only die from headshots in films. On top of that, the titans were outnumbered and they had nothing but simple weapons.It was no wonder Titan 12138 said they didn’t stand a chance. If it was Lilith, she would have escaped in despair long ago without even fighting.
It was already a miracle that the titans could last until now.
And the titans paid a huge price for this miracle to happen. Compared to the number of people Lilith saw when she woke up for the first time, they were now reduced by at least a third.
The golden light in Lilith’s eyes swirled as she tried to see the entire battlefield with her powerful vision.
The titans initially held their line of defense by relying on the geographical advantage of a fast-flowing river. The rapid current reduced the mobility of the black skeletons at first but as more of them came, they blocked the river like branches and rocks. As a result, the titans lost this advantage very soon. The black skeletons crossed the river by stepping on their dead comrade’s bones and cut down the titans with their swords.
The tide of this battle couldn’t simply be turned by just relying on certain conditions. Lilith was now beginning to wonder how the real king led the Titans to defeat the black skeletons a thousand years ago.
But now…
“My people, our king has returned!!”
Titan 12138 cried loudly as soon as she arrived on the battlefield. “She shall lead us to victory!”
“OOOOHHHH!!”
The titan’s morale skyrocketed in an instant. With their newfound vigor, they pushed back the black skeletons who were about to break through their defensive formation.
Lilith sighed. Titan 12138 really didn’t remember her own words. With how things were going, it was no longer easy for Lilith to refuse her identity as the king now. She was worried that if she did, someone might be so upset that they would just let themselves be killed by the black skeletons.
Never mind. She’d just let them call her whatever they wanted. It wasn’t like she would lose anything.
“Your order, my king!”
Titan 12138’s eyes were burning with intensity. “We shall carry out your order perfectly no matter what it is! Be it a single-line formation or an eight-trigram formation! We have practiced them countless times over the past thousand years! We’ll never disappoint you!”
“Tell everyone to withdraw.”
“Understood, we shall complete your order per…fectly…?”
Titan 12138 finally registered Lilith’s words and blinked in confusion. “What did you say, my king?”
“I said… tell everyone to withdraw.”
“We mustn’t, my king! If we surrender now, it’ll be the end of this world! All living creatures will be killed by the black devils!”
“I said nothing about surrendering.”
Lilith walked up to the place where the battle was most intense. Almost every second, one titan or several black skeletons would fall.
“King…!”
“Our king…!”
“You’ve finally arrived…!”
Lilith marched forward and the titans automatically parted to let her through. Everyone’s gaze on Lilith burned intensely with blind faith that she could lead them to victory.
Although their kind was being slaughtered at this very moment, all they had in their eyes now was their king.
If they were cult followers, then they were definitely too far gone.
A thousand years had passed. Yet why do they still maintain unwavering faith in their king whose existence was doubtful in the first place?
And if that king really existed, why did he abandon the titans? At least from the clues that Lilith gathered from Titan 12138, the king didn’t die. He left.
If this was indeed the case, then Lilith had a strong desire to beat her up. It wasn’t for any particular reasons. She was just annoyed.
Since she was annoyed, she had to vent.
She conjured up a ball of swaying black flame in her hand then slammed it on the ground, in the direction where the black skeletons were.
During her previous battle at the academy, Lilith learned more of this black flame’s power. Not even the vice dean’s blow that was beyond peak saint realm managed to leave a scratch on the black crystal that the black flame transformed into.
Since that was the case, then the black flame in its original form should be even more terrifying.
That was what she thought.
The black flame burned even more intensely as it quickly spread toward the area where the black skeletons gathered. In just a few seconds, the entire grassland was engulfed.
This was the result when Lilith had tried her best to control it. She had a feeling if she went all out, the black flame would turn this small world into a sea of black flames.
She couldn’t help but shiver at the thought. Just where did the other Lilith in her body come from?
The black flame didn’t look like a power that should exist in this world.
Soon enough, all the black skeletons on the grassland perished. They were perfectly incinerated by the black flame. There wasn’t even a trace of them left behind. For the time being, there were no new skeletons crawling up from the ground either.
Just like that, Lilith easily resolved the once-in-a-thousand-year crisis in this small world.
However, she had no time to bask in the admiration of the titans or celebrate with them. She never liked listening to flattery anyway.
At this very moment, she was about to explode.
Rather than incinerating, it was more accurate to say that the black flame’s ability was devouring. It would absorb the energy of everything that it incinerated.
In fact, Lilith had already found out during her previous fight with Thea that the energy consumed by the black flame would be channeled back to her.
ROAR!!!
Lilith growled like a beast and her eyes turned red. The meridians in her body were already blocked due to the overabundance of magic power in her body. And now, there was such a massive burst of energy suddenly pouring into her…
She’d explode!
Without a doubt!
Damn, she had completely forgotten about this because she was busy trying to look cool!
Her golden pupils were fully activated as she scanned the surroundings with her molten gold dragon eyes, looking for a target for her to unload this energy.
However, there wasn’t even a small hill on this grassland. Did that mean she would have to hit her head on the ground like how those titans would prostrate themselves?
Although she was usually shameless, it wasn’t to this extent.
It was then…
“Hey, you over there! Did you see any monsters?”
Lilith looked up. A gorgeous airship hovered not far above her. Two men and three women were seen onboard. Their leader was dressed in armor and carrying a longsword. Not even the helmet she wore could conceal the fact that she was a silver-haired beauty.
Who else could she be, if not Princess Lesiah of Macedonian Empire?
