Chapter 909 - The 8nd Princess
Chapter 909
(Unedited)
…
The sky suddenly lit up as a line of beam appears disintegrating everything on its path. The laser coming from the sniper rifle staff on Xiamen Gong\'s hand suddenly shatters as the bluish glow on his body slightly dimmed.
\'Alright, the two of you go back to the ship… The test is over…\' Shin Jiao\'s voice coming from their coms commanded.
Xiamen Gong and Hua Xiao showed horrified expressions on their faces as they flew towards the ship.
Everyone inside the ship has the same shocked and horrified expressions on their face upon seeing that glowing bright light that seems to have disintegrated those wyverns on its path.
Those who survived fell to their deaths, while those who have just damaged their wings directly flew towards the ground as if fearing the two floating figures.
"What was that, Xiamen?" Hua Xiao said while hitting Xiamen Gong\'s arm.
"I… I don\'t know. But it was really powerful that it shattered the staff in my hand." he said as if he himself could not believe what he just did.
"That was very powerful and it seems that the mana is very pure." The mage pilot Mage Mallek said.
"Yeah, I agree… it was terrifying…"
"I could not believe that the staff could do that."
"Well, it can\'t… If you are a Grand Magus maybe it can. But with your mana pools right now, you can only produce a fraction of that thing even after emptying your mana pool." Shin Jiao explained.
"So the external pack is the one that made that thing that powerful?" Im Jae asked with a hint of astonishment in her beautiful eyes.
"Yes…"
Suddenly, the radar began to beep as it detected something on the ground.
"Master Shin, traces of mana are being used on the ground below us. It seems that a group is fighting and some of them are mages." Mage Mallek said after analyzing the information.
"I think that\'s one of the wyverns that fell… We have to help them; this is because of us…" Yemei Yin who is in invisible mode said.
"Geez… Don\'t scare me like that Yemei…" Im Jae who is sitting next to Yemei Yin was startled.
Everyone laughed…
How could Yemei Yin not follow Shin Jiao? She is his shadow and has sworn to be by his side always.
"Big Brother Shin, can me and my sister go this time?" the cute voice of Im Ao said as he suddenly grabs an external pack on the side of the ship.
"Okay, but don\'t show your true face. We are near the capital I could not let you two be exposed." Shin Jiao warned.
With a nod of their heads, the brother and sister pair opens the door and then jumps down from the ship.
"Yahoo!!!" Im Ao cried happily as he activated the external pack.
The semitransparent blue energy immediately surrounds his body and made him hover in the air.
Then he suddenly takes out two daggers on his side and then held them tightly.
"Im Ao… Remember… Don\'t use your dark powers…" Im Jae reminded her brother.
"I know… Big sister…" he said as his small figure flew towards the wyvern on the ground being besieged by a group of soldiers in silver armor.
Im Jae could only sigh as she knew that her brother has been coop up for too long in the ship and has always practiced with the mages. It seems that the little boy could not wait to test out his new ability.
She immediately followed her brother while taking out the metal whip which serves are her belt.
In her stay on the flying ship, their training teacher, Shinyu Jiang, taught them how to control their power. She taught them how to minimize their energy while maximizing their usage without spilling the source of their mana to prevent others from seeing their true level.
Some of the mages are able to control this, but many could not. One of those who are able to control is Im Jae.
While holding her whip, she channeled her dark energy in the middle of her ship which followed the flexible shape of the segmented sharp metals.
With the use of her weird dark energy, she is able to make the metal segments spin like drills which would, in turn, make her weapon deadlier than normal whips.
Her precise control on her whip has gained the praise of Shinyu Jiang which made Im Jae feel a bit proud of her accomplishments.
As she follows her brother she squinted as she tried to lock on her target. But then in the corner of her eyes, she suddenly noticed another wyvern which is slowly sneaking towards the only remaining carriage in the area.
Without hesitation, Im Jae suddenly controlled her flight and flew directly towards that wyvern.
Swoosh!!! Swoosh!!!
Two figures flew, one targeting a wyvern fighting against the soldiers while the other targeting another one which is hiding behind the bushes.
When the two figures appear, the soldiers were surprised and did not know how to react.
Roar!!!
The wyvern roared in anger as it saw a small human flying around it while continuously slicing its skin. It felt deep pain on its body as the wound increases.
Meanwhile, the other wyvern also received hundreds of deep wounds from the whips in Im Jae\'s hand.
The two rescuers, one small boy, and one petite girl astounded the soldiers along with the mages on their side.
The soldiers realized what is happening and they too began to make their move. Some of them carried their wounded to the side while the others helped their rescuers defeat the wyverns.
It did not take long before the wyverns were killed by the combined force of Im Ao and the soldiers, while Im Jae killed her wyvern alone.
"Yeah!!!"
"We did it!"
The soldiers shouted in jubilation upon seeing the two dead wyverns.
"Did you suffer casualties?" Im Jae suddenly asked.
"No, but we have a lot of wounded." A soldier said.
But then he was suddenly stunned upon realizing that one of their rescuers is actually a beauty.
Suddenly from the skies, a few figures fell and landed on the ground smoothly.
"Give the wounded these pills…" Shin Jiao said as he handed a few bottles to his companions.
He then looks at the person who seems to be the ranking officer in their group of soldiers.
"I am Shin Jiao and these are my group… Im Ao, Im Jae, Xiamen Gong, and Hua Xiao… we are just passing by and will be going to the capital city," he said politely.
When the people heard this they all became a bit guarded.
"Where are you from, sir!" suddenly a beautiful voice from inside the carriage echoed in the air.
When the soldiers heard this, they showed a hint of reverence in their stance.
"We are from Main Arjing City, my lady…" Shin Jiao said.
He already saw who is inside the carriage. But what surprises him is the aura surrounding the body of the woman. It was like a bright light chases away the darkness.
"You should address her as his highness…" the leading guard said with a hint of annoyance in his tone.
"Captain, don\'t be rude. They rescued us."
"But your highness these people are from the outer world, they are just lowly peasants." The Captain of the guards said with a sneer on his handsome mature face.
When the people with Shin Jiao heard this, they all showed a hint of irritation.
Hua Xiao suddenly stood up and wanted to say something but Shin Jiao gestured for her to stand down.
"Captain…" the woman\'s voice suddenly became stern.
And this made the soldiers around her became wary. Every one of them suddenly kneels on one knee.
"I am sorry your highness…" the captain said while lowering his head.
Then the curtain inside the carriage parted and a fair white hand appears.
A very beautiful young woman slowly walks out of the carriage followed by her two maidservants.
When she did that, a soldier wanted to extend his hand but was stopped by the maid on one side.
When Im Jae saw the face of the woman, her expression slightly changed. Her fist clenched but she gets a hold of her emotion as she did not want the plan of her Master Shin Jiao to be exposed by her.
Im Ao could not recognize the woman, but she could. This woman is the main reason why the forces of light won against the darkness. She is the bearer of hope for the soldiers of the light; she is the carrier of their faith and their strength.
She is the 8th princess of the new kingdom of Xinglo, the 8th daughter of the king, Princess Gwendolyn Grav.
She was the daughter of the king from one of his distant cousins and ever since she was born she carried the hope of the people that worship the light god, Agus.. And she is the one they called… the Saint.
