Pillar of Yita

Unfortunately, he was not Yoshude.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but yearn for the legendary Dragon Slaying Hero—

Though he had lost his lover, missed his chance with Eve. Only a hero like Yoshude could personally avenge the girl who trusted him, completely shatter their plans, and at the moment they were closest to success, topple everything anew.

The taste of that, even for the wanderer, must have been quite unbearable.

But in the darkness, Atira seemed to sense his abnormality and said in a low voice: ”Ade, calm down. Hatred is not the driving force of a righteous act; justice itself is.”

”But why,” Fang Hong said, somewhat angrily, ”Miss Eve has endured so much, why is he unscathed in that place? Are there gods in this world? Where did they go at this time?”

”Isn’t Miss Eve one of their believers?”

Atira suddenly stopped.

She turned around, quietly looked at the somewhat agitated young man, and without speaking, stepped forward to embrace him with effort.

Fang Hong hadn’t reacted immediately, feeling himself fall into a soft embrace. Only then did he come to his senses and quickly pulled himself free from Atira’s arms.

He looked up in surprise at Elf Miss who was calmly watching him, stunned for a moment, then realized his response earlier was somewhat excessive. But that feeling of being possessed by a need to vent, regardless of everything, seemed to linger in his heart like a spell.

If Elf Miss hadn’t timely noticed it, who knows what would have happened.

But thinking carefully, how did he fall into that state just now? Was it under the influence of those two voices? It seemed unlikely, as the two voices were merely visions from Dragon’s Golden Eyes of past phantoms.

And before this, Dragon’s Golden Eyes had never had any intent to influence him.

Nor did it appear to be that ’demon’ outside affecting him; it was yet unseen, and now he couldn’t sense any connection with ’Westwood Sibika’ Earl.

Even more surprising was that Miss Tata didn’t notice this at all.

This was the first time since he gained this Dragon Soul Fairy that he encountered such a situation. He scratched his head, thinking perhaps it was merely his overthinking, which was why Miss Tata hadn’t warned him.

And then Atira spoke to him: ”The best response Yoshude had for Miss Eve in the past wasn’t avenging her personally, but returning everything to its original state, allowing more people to be spared.”

”Just like everything we did in Dolifen.”

Fang Hong had completely calmed down by now and nodded: ”I understand, Miss Atira.”

Elf Miss finally felt relieved, glanced at him again, then turned to walk forward.

Fang Hong couldn’t help but think about the sensation of embracing him earlier, blushing a bit, and followed her.

Not much further along the path, the corridor reached its end. Upon reaching that place, they were quite startled—because they originally thought this was just the underground of the City Hall.

But the reality differed greatly from their imagination.

The so-called underground circular hall was merely the result of Miss Tata’s deduction based on the map description in the log and news from the community above. But it turned out, the community’s information seemed outdated.

When he and Atira stepped outside, they found they were not in some dark underground, but beneath an open-air deep pit. Judging by the excavation traces around it, this pit seemed to have been unearthed not long ago.

And when Fang Hong saw this place, he couldn’t help but shiver.

He suddenly recalled what this place was.

And quickly checked the log—indeed, it was so. This place was the ’forbidden zone’ that those captured Sky Pirates had confessed, which had been closed off for half a month.

According to their description, it was originally supposed to be an excavation site, but for some reason was later sealed off. Their description matched the appearance and position of this place.

He once thought this was where Nikopolas was recuperating after being injured, though later during investigations discovered splits within the Dragon Worship Sect, overturning this assumption. But after that, he never had the time to consider what secret this place might hold.

Yet unexpectedly, he and Miss Atira inadvertently ended up here.

And now it seemed this so-called forbidden zone exactly overlapped with the circular hall beneath City Hall. So, what happened here that led the Blood Shark Sky Pirates to classify this place as forbidden?

Fang Hong instinctively felt uneasy and looked around.

But a look made his soul almost leave him.

Because in the darkness not far in front of him, a pair of lantern-sized red eyes suddenly lit up, staring directly in his direction. Then the ground slightly shook and that thing slowly stood up from that place.

And walked towards this direction.

Fang Hong looked at the thing with his scalp tingling, because it was nothing else but a gigantic bone dragon.

What a joke, how is there a bone dragon here!?
