57 A Difficult Choice
In the face of the impending fight, the Overlords from the Star Academy and from other academies were faced with the same choice.
When everyone got wind of the Boss’ appearance, they just focused on the rewards and benefits. But after a while, when they calmed down, they began pondering about the risks involved.
“What if the Dark Dragon King has the same obliteration technique as the Giant Turtle Island?”
“If it doesn’t, we can use the human wave tactic to grind it to death!”
“If the Dark Dragon King had the same technique as the Giant Turtle Island, I wonder how many Lords would die in this battle?”
Everyone began to discuss this issue. Some Lords were justifiably terrified and wanted to stay in their own territories and watch the show. However, some Lords wanted to gamble. They wanted to fight even if the possibility of succeeding was slim.
“We will only remain as Low-Level Overlords if we don’t take this opportunity to advance. If I gain some resources from this, then maybe I can make a nice comeback!”
Some of the Lords wanted to take action. They prepared their travel and teleportation tools.
Soon, many Lords gathered near Shi Linglong’s territory where the Dark Dragon King was seen before.
…
Su Wan took Xu Yuan to Shi Linglong’s territory to support her while the rest of the world was in turmoil.
boxn ov el. c o m“I’m really worried about Shi Linglong. Why does she always encounter strange things?”
Su Wan laughed as they hurried along. She wasn’t worried because her territory was hidden from sight. She decided to hurry and help her friend, instead. Besides, if the Dark Dragon King was defeated in the battle, she could also salvage some benefits.
When Su Wan and Xu Yuan reached Shi Linglong’s territory, Shi Linglong was so glad that she almost cried.
Wanwan, you really love me the most! Every time I’m in danger, you’re the first to help me! IF I were a man, I would just marry you.”
Shi Linglong wasn’t in a good mental state. She had been already killed once by the Dark Dragon King. Although she was resurrected, the fear of death still lingered in her mind.
Su Wan comforted Shi Linglong. She had wanted to keep a low profile and then take advantage of the battle but seeing that her friend was not in a good state, she changed her mind.
“Linglong, why don’t we leave from here?” she said. The surrounding area would become a battlefield. Shi Linglong’s territory might not survive at all. Therefore, Su Wan decided to take Shi Linglong away from the vicinity and return when it was safe.
If the Core of Shi Linglong’s territory was destroyed, then Su Wan would help Shi Linglong return to the Blue Planet. She would never be able to step into the Overlord Plane again. But, if her Territory Core remained intact, she could scavenge for resources with her and help her return to her territory.
If Shi Longlong remained here, she might not survive. If her territory was destroyed along with the Territory Core, then she would not be able to resurrect. She would be gone forever. But if they left, Shi Linglong would still survive even if the Territory Core was destroyed.
Shi Linglong’s face was already pale. She nodded her head. She was trembling and her eyes were slightly red.
“Alright, Wanwan. Let’s leave… temporarily,” Shi Linglong’s voice trembled.
Shi Linglong looked at her own territory, reluctant to leave it behind. But she had no other choice. Shi Linglong felt like a wanderer who had to leave her home behind.
“Let’s go,” said Su Wan. She held her friend’s hand and ushered her out of the territory, heading in the direction of her own territory. She planned to stay hidden until the danger of the Dark Dragon King passed.
Xu Yuan flew to the Flower Fairy.
“Little thing, does your Overlord really have some kind of bad luck on her character? No matter where she goes, she attracts trouble.”
After his recent change, Xu Yuan was now much bigger than the Flower Fairy. He could call her “Little thing” because he was superior in terms of both size and strength.
The Flower Fairy was a little embarrassed by Xu Yuan’s question. She was in a dilemma. Answering his question might offend her Lord, Shi Linglong. But if she didn’t answer, then Xu Yuan might be offended.
While the Flower fairy was hesitant and didn’t know what to do, Shi Linglong pouted in annoyance.
“Hey! That’s too much!” she shouted at Xu Yuan. “Tell me, Wanwan’s hero. Did she put you up to this? What do you mean if I have bad luck?”
Although Shi Linglong was questioning Xu Yuan, she was looking at Su Wan for an answer. Shi Linglong felt that Su Wan might have told Xu Yuan that she had rotten luck. That’s why Xu Yuan was asking the Flower Fairy. So, she assumed Su Wan had created this problem.
Shi Linglong would never admit that she was unlucky. Su Wan, on the other hand, did feel that her friend was unlucky because she always attracted trouble. In the past incidents, they had survived but this time, the Dark Dragon King was immensely dangerous. If they encountered him, they would all be wiped out.
Su Wan decided not to provoke Shi Linglong. She wanted to comfort her.
“Xu Yuan? how can you say that?” reprimanded Su Wan. “Shi Linglong is adorable. How can she be unlucky?”
Just as Su Wan said that, a group of dwarves appeared a little distance away from them.
“What are those?” Su Wan was on high alert. “How did dwarves appear in this place?”
As far as Su Wan knew, this area was rife with barbarians, but dwarves, goblins and other creatures rarely appeared here.
Most importantly, the dwarves were all wearing the same uniform. It looked like a black cloak with a similar pattern on it.
“It’s the symbol of the Dark Screen!” Shi Linglong whispered.
“Dark Screen?!’ Su Wan’s heart tightened.
Just recently, when they had killed the Man-Eating Ant Emperor, they had been warned by an Amethyst Liger. They were already on their hit list.
However, the school leaders from the academy had informed them that the Dark Screen was busy trying to sabotage the upcoming Inter-Campus Tournament, so they didn’t have to worry.
Who knew that they would run into members of the Dark Screen here of all places?!
