Free Web NovelChapter 28: Chapter 28: "Don’t Cry.
The high platform in the sky was cleaved right down the middle by a blade of light from the Sun Array!
The quick-reacting Don Nade K snapped his fingers.
A Magic Book wreathed in lightning descended from the sky.
Its pages flipped open with a RUSTLE—
Stopping on a single page, deep purple runes flew out of the book, casting an immense projection that enveloped the entire altar.
The platform, which had been teetering in the wind, gradually stabilized.
But as for the part that had already fallen—
Donner raised his right hand. A pillar of water shot out from his sleeve, only to be shattered by a blade of light from the Sun Array the moment it left the high tower!
A flash of anxiety crossed his red eyes. "Zhi Zhi fell." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
The Sun Array’s light was dazzling as it gathered above the high tower. Any exposed object would be attacked by its blades of light.
Donner’s Water Element abilities were completely useless.
He grew anxious.
"When Locke gets out, if he’s greeted by the little female’s corpse, I’m afraid—"
"Then let him raise hell," Donald’s tone was so calm it was nearly cruel.
"This is a restricted Array, long lost to the Empire. Today was destined for turmoil. Whether she lives or dies is up to fate."
Below the high platform, the spectating Beastmen all raised their heads.
The crowd of beasts didn’t know what was happening. They only saw the massive Array gathering on the horizon, its dark golden light so brilliant it seemed to have come from the distant Heavenly Realm.
The high platform crumbled, sending pieces of the structure and countless beast-like figures plummeting down.
When the Spell on the altar was broken, those in their semi-Beast Forms reverted to their human appearances. The Little Golden Ball, responsible for the live broadcast, didn’t dare go under the Array, so it could only hide behind a pillar and capture all the footage of the scene.
The live comments were filled with screams.
Lisa, who had not stepped onto the high tower, stared in astonishment at the collapsed section, unsure of what had just happened.
Yu Zhizhi’s figure plummeted from the sky!
The young lady of the Black Panther Clan, who hadn’t been qualified to attend the event, sat on her chair, watching the large screen before her.
The Little Golden Ball knew what all the Beastmen wanted to see most.
Its camera angle was locked firmly on Yu Zhizhi, never wavering for a second.
WAAAH!—
Some of the more soft-hearted Beastmen covered their eyes with their hands, unable to bear the sight of the little female rabbit being splattered into a bloody pulp!
A smile touched the lips of Nana the Black Panther. ’I should celebrate tonight,’ she thought.
Flung from the high tower, Yu Zhizhi felt the wind roaring past her.
She was tens of thousands of meters in the air, falling straight through the clouds toward the ground!
The terror of the Sun Array lay in its attacking blades of light.
She heard cries of agony all around her.
The beast-like figures falling with her all forcibly underwent Beastification, hoping to gain more Strength to escape. But it was *because* of their Beastification that they were relentlessly pursued by the blades of light!
In contrast, Yu Zhizhi, who hadn’t awakened her dual abilities, was no different from thin air in the eyes of the Sun Array.
Otherwise, a single blade of light would have sliced her in half at the waist!
The air was chaos.
Many of the beast-like figures struggled desperately, only to suffer a barrage of attacks from the blades of light.
A lucky few managed to activate their abilities and attach themselves to any outer surface of the structure, barely escaping the Grim Reaper’s scythe.
She was doomed!
Every Beastman present believed the little female could not escape this calamity!
When it came to Strength, females were inherently much weaker than males. For awakened spiritual power, females typically only had a range of 10 to 50, while even the lousiest males started at 1,000—to say nothing of the four wolf cubs from before with their astonishing 18,000!
Another of the wolf cubs followed in his father’s footsteps, with an initial spiritual power as high as 30,000!
Unfortunately, the Rabbit Clan female who had given birth to them was about to meet her end today. The tragic death of an S-Class female was a sorrow for the entire Beast World Planet...
Yu Zhizhi had no way to slow her descent.
She closed her eyes and prayed silently, ’I hope it doesn’t hurt...’
’If I can go home after I die, just let me draw one last breath. I want to see the clouds outside my hospital window and my mother’s face one more time.’
At this thought, the bridge of Yu Zhizhi’s nose tingled.
Suddenly!
A black shadow appeared in the sky, its massive, full black wings drawing closer until they filled the vision of every Beastman!
Dracula, who had rushed all the way here, had gone directly into his semi-Beast Form!
His eagle-like vision pierced through the light, fixing on Yu Zhizhi’s body. He shot through the air like a gust of wind and caught her small frame securely.
Feeling a warm embrace, Yu Zhizhi opened her eyes to a familiar face.
"Dracula..." she murmured, clutching the clothes on his chest.
Amidst the collapsing ruins, his huge, powerful eagle wings were like those of a Devil, nearly blotting out half the sun!
He sped through the air, his body wreathed in a thick black mist—
To the Beastmen watching, the scene was absolutely breathtaking!
The comments in the live stream exploded!
[An Eagle Clan Beastman?! Am I seeing things??]
[The Cangshan Empire fell so long ago, yet their descendant has come to Varolan’s Imperial City—]
[This Eagle Clan male is so handsome...]
[Is he saving Ms. Zhi Zhi?]
[It’s useless! The Sun Array’s blades of light will cut them to pieces! It looks like he’s going to die holding the little female—]
Dracula’s semi-Beast Form was not unfamiliar to Yu Zhizhi.
She had seen him like this back at the church.
Yu Zhizhi would never forget the night he had spread his wings, wreathed in black mist, just like now.
And precisely because he was in his semi-Beast Form, the Sun Array locked onto their position.
"Hold on tight," Dracula’s voice was steady and strong.
As he soared through the air, he faced the assault of the light blades by suddenly folding his wings, securely protecting the young woman against his chest.
Countless blades of light smashed against his wings. In his semi-Beast Form, he was several times larger than usual. The blades sheared through his full wings, and black feathers rained down from the sky, making it seem as if a black snow was falling over the territory.
Yu Zhizhi was held tightly in his embrace.
She felt streams of fresh blood trickling down from above, nearly blurring her vision.
Yu Zhizhi gripped the man’s lapels, biting her lip as tears welled in her eyes.
Sheltered in the small space before his chest, she was untouched by any of the light blades.
But as for Dracula himself—
He was already covered in wounds.
The scene stunned every Beastman.
Whether on-site or watching the live stream, everyone saw the Eagle Clan male desperately protecting the little female in his arms. Before the might of the Sun Array, his feathers and blood drifted down from the sky, spattering onto the faces of the beasts below...
They were shocked by his power, that he could withstand the Sun Array’s attacks head-on, and moved by his devotion, as he protected the female in his arms to the death.
Shielding Yu Zhizhi, Dracula flew straight toward the distant jungle.
Once he flew out of the Sun Array’s range, he finally had a chance to catch his breath.
But the Little Golden Ball, too afraid of the Sun Array to fly out, could only watch their figures recede into the distance...
[Is it over??]
[WAAAAAH! No matter what, the little female survived!! Hooray!!]
[The Sun Array is a restricted Array. I’m afraid only the Eagle Clan can move so freely within it. They’re truly worthy of the name...]
[—worthy of being the former overlords of the sky!]
Dracula flew into the deep mountain forest behind the territory, found a safe place, and set the little female down.
He looked down and saw the little female’s red-rimmed eyes, and his heart clenched.
"Don’t cry." Dracula’s voice was a bit hoarse. He caught a falling tear with his finger.
