"Monster!!!" "Help!!!" "Captain! Something's wrong! A monster! A monster!!! Aaaaah!!!"
As the battlefield echoed with panicked screams, the armies from the two countries besieging the border city of the Cloud Dragon Emperor nation were utterly devastated. Soldiers were slaughtered and devoured by the rampaging creature.
This… was his favorite place. Countless lives, an endless supply of blood—it was a feast that thrilled his every nerve with sensual ecstasy.
The scene froze on a twisted, grotesque face—it was clear he loved this place. Absolutely adored it!
"Graaah~!" A sound no longer human erupted from his mouth as he let out a frenzied howl, randomly grabbing a human and tearing them apart.
He wasn't disgusted—on the contrary, he was immersed in bliss, as if partaking in the most splendid banquet this world had to offer.
Watching the monster tear through the battlefield, unstoppable and unmatched, every soldier felt a deep, chilling fear from the bottom of their hearts.
This was no human—this was a full-blown monster. A being far beyond their ability to resist.
The commanders of both armies, both seventh-tier powerhouses, trembled as they realized the truth of what they were sensing.
Ninth-tier—and more! Had someone… had some creature actually broken through the legendary curse?!
But such questions would have to wait. Right now, something else was more pressing.
"Retreat!!! Notify the entire army! Retreat immediately!!! Use any means necessary to survive—just stay alive!!!"
With the commanders' frantic orders, the soldiers turned and ran without a second thought.
Fight? Don't be ridiculous! No one could defeat a creature like that! Numbers? What use were numbers against a being above the ninth tier?! Just how powerful was it? Certainly beyond the comprehension of common troops!
Supplies? Escape first! You can always gather more food. But if you're dead, nothing else matters.
The previously sluggish retreat now turned into a desperate sprint, every soldier pushing themselves to the limit as they fled in sheer panic.
But it was useless. Their speed was like riding a bicycle—while the monster moved like it was on a motorcycle. Naturally, it cut through the densest parts of the fleeing crowd with brutal ease.
Their screams and the monster's savage roars gradually faded into the distance.
Fang Chen tilted his head on the city wall. Even from so far away, he could still vaguely see some of the chaos.
But it wasn't clear—after all, this wasn't his real body. Without the dynamic vision of the Dragon Eye, things appeared a bit blurry.
"What… exactly is that thing?" Yun Ying murmured, staring at the battlefield where two armies had been effortlessly routed by the monster.
"Big Sis! What do we do?! What if that monster comes back?!" Yun Fei'er looked at her tearfully, eyes red with fear.
Yun Ying felt her head pound. Honestly, if Fei'er hadn't run over here on a whim without telling anyone, none of this panic would've happened. Then again, this was the little princess's first time witnessing such horror—of course it felt like a nightmare. That monster would scar anyone for life.
"Calm down. Everything will be fine once the Grand Commander arrives. Until then…"
Yun Ying slowly turned to look at Fang Chen. Her gaze clearly conveyed a message—please protect this child for me.
Fang Chen, however, didn't look thrilled. In his mind, this girl was pure trouble.
And not just ordinary trouble—she was a walking, talking disaster. He'd already seen too many examples firsthand.
He turned his head away. He had only promised the Emperor to protect Yun Ying—there was no mention of Yun Fei'er. As far as he was concerned, she didn't belong here.
This was a battlefield—not a playground for little girls.
Watching Fang Chen turn away, Yun Ying felt conflicted. She knew Yun Fei'er's mouth would probably get her in trouble with Fang Chen eventually.
After all, this brat kept calling him "Ugly" every single day.
She was honestly surprised Fang Chen hadn't snapped yet. Any other magical beast with a worse temper would've lost it already.
"Come here. For the next few days, stay close to me. Let Xiaobai stay on guard. If anything happens, we'll run straight to him!" She pointed to Fang Chen's chest as she spoke.
Yun Fei'er's tear-streaked face instantly lit up with joy.
"I knew Big Sis was the best!" she cried, throwing herself into Yun Ying's arms.
In the past, she would've stuck out her tongue at Fang Chen and made a face. But right now, she didn't dare.
Fang Chen rolled his eyes, but didn't respond to Yun Ying's expression that clearly said, You won't abandon me, right?
He simply curled up back into his spot, silently waiting for a ninth-tier powerhouse to arrive.
"Sigh~" Yun Ying rubbed her temples and sat back down.
She was supposed to be reviewing battlefield reports—but now, that wasn't necessary.
The enemy armies had run so fast they practically wished for a third leg just to go even faster.
At this rate, if things stayed quiet for a few days, she could probably order her troops to go loot the battlefield.
After all, the two armies had fled in such haste they hadn't taken anything with them.
Aside from personal weapons, everything else—spare arms, supplies, food, tents—had been abandoned where it lay.
That was free money! Not just Yun Ying—even the Grand Commander would drool at the sight of it.
It would save them so much hassle. It was like a gift-wrapped supply drop.
Still, Yun Ying didn't act recklessly. She had seen it clearly—Fang Chen had only succeeded because he caught the monster off guard.
If it had been alert, the outcome could've been very different.
Fang Chen was still only seventh-tier. That thing had already broken through to ninth-tier.
She knew his defense was incredible, but she didn't think he could survive a direct hit from that monster.
So, she held back her excitement and waited anxiously for the Grand Commander to arrive.
For three days, the battlefield remained shrouded in blood. Severed limbs with bite marks littered the ground.
Severed heads still bore frozen expressions of horror, as if they had seen a demon from hell.
The monster had long since vanished into the distance, chasing the fleeing troops—but to Yun Ying, this battlefield was far more terrifying than she had ever imagined.
So much so that even she began to tremble.
Fang Chen looked around at the scattered limbs and faces frozen in terror. His expression didn't change…
But inside, his heart churned like a storm.
