Before he knew it, he had gone through many battles, faced terrible enemies and even legendary beasts, and was once close to death... But it was precisely in this situation that he was able to unleash his body's potential and reach a new level of strength.
Compared to the first time she summoned the holy sword in front of the Golem Giant, her strength has improved a lot.
At that time, she was already at the third level.
"It seems that you have gradually understood these things. If I hadn't told you, you wouldn't even realize it yourself, let alone break through the bottleneck. The task that Her Majesty the Queen gave me is to help you cross this threshold and enter the fourth level, so I thought of a particularly good way."
"Therefore, I will take good care of you, Your Highness!"
Atiya's smile became brighter.
Xia Yi had a bad feeling, "Responsible for...what?"
"The space here is very special. I cannot actively contact it. Only a fourth-level strength can break it. Therefore, if you don't break through to the fourth level, you will never get out in this life. You can only stay with me forever!"
173 Tired of playing (Monthly ticket plus more)
Xia Yi's cheeks were twitching.
Wait, what is this smart blue dragon saying to me?
"Atiya, you said, if I don't reach the fourth level, there is no way to leave here?"
"Well, yes!"
Atiya put her hands on her hips, very proud of her plan.
"There is a space barrier here, and its strength is at the fourth level. If you want to leave here, you just need to reach the fourth level!"
"Then you, can't you break it?" Xia Yi asked, "Your strength is more than just level four, right?"
"Of course, Princess, do you think I'm stupid?" Atiya shook her finger. "I definitely need to make some preparations. When I came in here, I sealed my strength, which was just at the fourth level. And no matter how hard I tried, I was just a little short of breaking the barrier. So no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't leave here. I can only rely on you, Princess."
"So, what you mean is..."
"Yes, if you continue to be so bad, we will never be able to leave, because Her Majesty the Queen has instructed me that if I don't put some pressure on you, you will have no motivation!"
"Aatiya, are you crazy?"
"No, I'm calm."
"I mean, we are trapped here, where is the food? Where is the water? We can't just stay here without food or water, right?"
"……Eh?"
Atiya was stumped by Xia Yi's question. She tilted her head with a confused look on her face.
This expression clearly means that he has not thought about this issue.
Gradually, she also realized the current situation.
The dragon clan is a superior species with huge energy demands. They need to eat a lot for every meal and get hungry very easily. If there is nothing here, they might starve to death soon.
Fine beads of sweat gradually covered Atiya's forehead.
"You didn't really bring anything with you, did you?" Xia Yi asked anxiously, "Since you thought of this idea, you must have a thorough plan, and not just act on a whim without any preparation, right?"
"...Hey~" Atiya made a face, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Obviously, she had no such plans.
Xia Yi suddenly felt very tired.
Why did Xia Lulu have to ask Atiya for help?
No one else would be able to do such a stupid thing.
"Think about it carefully, Princess. If you can successfully break through, everything will be fine, right?" Atiya said. "The sooner you break through, the sooner we can leave here. We won't have to worry about starving at all."
"You really are so easy to talk to!"
"No, Princess, I have made up my mind to contribute myself to the Royal Dragon Family! If you fail to break through, I will always be with you... Let us be buried together!!"
Xia Yi felt more and more tired. At the last moment of her life, she had to stay with Atiya and be buried together?
No, no, no such thing!
"I...will never be trapped here!!" Xia Yi declared.
"Well! Very good, I have sensed the princess's fighting spirit, so come on. My current strength is at the threshold of the fourth level. You only need to defeat me to show that you have broken through to the fourth level."
"Fighting with Atiya..."
Xia Yi began to examine Atiya.
If she remembered correctly, Atiya was also very strong.
After all, there are strict requirements on strength to be able to join the royal maid corps.
However, she didn't quite understand Atiya's fighting style.
Is it... a magician?
The blue dragons are all very smart and have good talents in magic.
"Your Highness, I only know a little about magic," Atiya seemed to see through Xia Yi's thoughts, "I am better at close combat!"
"Melee?"
"Yeah! In close combat, I crush my opponent with strength. This is my fighting style," Atiya asked. "Your Highness, what kind of fighting style do you use? Magic?"
"I'll use swordsmanship."
"I understand."
Ati took out a small bag and shook it.
Many weapons fell out and were stuck on the ground in the space. There were various types of weapons.
Xia Yi selected one of the one-handed swords, held it in her hand, and got into position.
"Atiya, you also choose a weapon, and we will start now."
"Okay, then I'll... this one!"
Atiya also chose a weapon.
Xia Yi twitched his eyebrows. The weapon chosen by Atiya was the same as his.
The same is true of the sword.
Wow.
Xia Yi was absolutely confident in her swordsmanship, so she was no longer sleepy.
After all, she is a sword master and has a lot of say.
"Atiya, swordsmanship is not that simple," Xia Yi said with a smile, "Since you claim that you prefer to crush your opponents with powerful force, then I recommend that you use a giant axe or a war hammer. Swords that require more skills are not suitable for you."
"Is that right?"
"Of course. When it comes to swordsmanship, you will be crushed by me."
"If you don't try it, how will you know?"
Atiya is very confident.
Well.
Xia Yi decided in her heart to give the other party a little shock of the sword master.
"let's start."
Atiya grasped the sword.
I don’t know if it was Xia Yi’s illusion, but the moment Atiya entered the combat state, she felt that her usual stupidity disappeared, as if she had become a different person.
The blue dragon maid took the initiative to approach Xia Yi.
Xia Yi swung the iron sword in his hand, releasing the sword intent and emitting a sharp sword light.
Four consecutive kills in an instant!
This is one of her special skills. She controls different speeds and swings out continuous sword lights, thus turning them into multiple sword slashes that are impossible to defend against and hit the enemy.
Xia Yi is now able to perform four sword energies.
Almost at the same time, four sword energies appeared around Atiya and tore through the air. It was impossible for anyone to defend against them at the same time.
Defeat the enemy with one move!
“…It’s really fun.”
Atiya looked at this scene, time seemed to freeze, she was thinking and analyzing rapidly, and finally came to a conclusion, the corners of her mouth raised, and she shook her wrist.
A situation that Xia Yi could not believe occurred.
Five sword lights appeared almost at the same time, each of them offset the sword energy swung by Xia Yi, and there was one more that hit Xia Yi's body.
That's the only way to crack it.
"Well……!"
Xia Yi flew out and landed on the ground.
In the previous attack, Atiya obviously held back and didn't even take it seriously.
"How could it be? Atiya, how come you also know this move, and it's stronger than mine?!"
"I just learned it."
"what?"
"I think Her Royal Highness's moves are very interesting. I learned them on the spot."
Xia Yi couldn't understand.
I have spent a lot of effort studying and using my experience in actual combat to improve my sword moves, but people actually say that I learned them on the spot... and they are better than mine.
Five instant consecutive slashes.
How can I accept this?
"You're talking nonsense!"
