The Sword Palace: Book 5 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

by Fat Bread

  To the Killing Princess, the battlefield was her unique stage. She was the brightest princess on the stage, dancing along with the melody of killing.

  Hundreds of years had passed and most people had forgotten the Killing Princess.

  Only elves wouldn't forget her, the greatsword maid who saved their race from the Demons.

  That day, Kingfisher's heart was deeply touched while watching her killing, looking at the slender figure as she danced on the bloody stack of Demon bodies.

  Even after ten thousands of years, Kingfisher didn't think that he could forget that scene.

  Just like what happened at this moment.

  Chapter 354: The Aura of the Evil God

  "It's still alive... what a strong life..." Yun Xi stepped one foot on the belly of the Black Demon Dog, who was still struggling fiercely although one of the twin swords had pierced through its heart, where the "core", the weak point of it was.

  The core of the Black Demon Dog could move freely inside its body. It wouldn't be fixed to any certain place but move around inside the deepest parts of its body, such as under the heart or on its tail. Very rare Black Demon Dogs who had confidence in themselves would expose their cores on their foreheads.

  However, it doesn't matter where it is. As long as I tore this ugly, dirty beast to ribbons, there was no way the core could still exist.

  The core of the Black Demon Dog was actually a ball of dirty flesh and black blood. Common weapons couldn't harm it, because they would be quickly eroded by its black blood, which was learned by humans through countless lessons written in blood.

  "Ga... woof..." The Black Demon Dog stared at Yun Xi fiercely, regardless that its core had been pierced through and a great amount of black blood was flowing out of the wound.

  Especially when it saw Mei'er was snuggling up next to Yun Xi's feet, tears of blood filled its eyes.

  "Hum? It's..." Yun Xi looked at it in confusion.

  "What a strong grievance... this Black Demon Dog isn't simple..." Kingfisher also saw the flaming aura of hatred from the black dog's battered body.

  It looked as if its most important lover was being stolen in front of it and it couldn't do anything.

  "Zii! Zii!" Suddenly, a great amount of black mist roared out of the black dog's body. The air blast was so strong that Yun Xi had to step back.

  Most parts of the Black Demon Dog's battered body were swallowed by the black mist, and only its heart was still pounding in the air.

  All the black mists gathered together around the black heart, forming a weird rune.

  "It can be stronger?" Yun Xi's eyes stared at it with interest and pleasure.

  Common Demons couldn't have such strong power. Maybe it was really a "big fish".

  You’d better let me enjoy a satisfying battle!

  "This feeling... is it an evil god rank?" Kingfisher's eyes became serious. "Evil god rank" was too strong for this small sword domain. The Demons at this rank could even destroy an entire god's domain.

  How could a lower-level Black Demon Dog have such a strong power? Moreover, the seal still existed, it was impossible for evil god ranked Demons to pass through it.

  The seal is the strongest seal of humans, dragons and elves. Can it have really become weakened?

  "I don't care who you are, just let me kill you!" Yun Xi held the twin swords and made a posture.

  It was the starting position of the Killing Princess' Dance of Revenge and Blood!

  "Boom!" The Black Demon Dog sensed danger. The mist suddenly spread and countless runes appeared, dragging the heart into the darkness.

  The Dark Skyfall dispelled and the sunlight shone onto the street again. The people on the street looked around in confusion and didn't know why they suddenly wanted to hide in their rooms just now.

  "The Power of the Magician Demon. Yes, it's an evil god ranked power." Kingfisher walked to Yun Xi, just like what he did when he followed the Killing Princess in the old days.

  "Gee... oh... what did I do?" Yun Xi suddenly woke up and gazed at the twin swords in his hands in surprise.

  I was myself, but not myself just now!

  When he brandished his swords, he understood all the weak points of the Black Demon Dog, but it couldn't be a knowledge that he knew himsel

  "Little princess, enjoy your peaceful life. May it be long." Kingfisher looked at him with his gentle eyes.

  Since she inherited the Killing Princess' heritage, she would face the same fate sooner or later.

  The Killing Princess' life was a legend, but also a tragedy.

  She was once the most favorite princess, but she finally entered the non-human realm.

  Even Kingfisher had followed her many years, he had never really gone deep into her heart.

  Only she herself knew what a heavy load and misfortune she was carrying.

  Kingfisher had a complex feeling about Yun Xi.

  He looked for the characters of the Killing Princess from her, but also wanted her to keep her innocence.

  "Treasure your peaceful life now, because you are doomed to be on the battlefield one day."

  "But don't worry, when that day comes, I will come to you again and become your most loyal advisor."

  "Now, it's time to say good bye, my little princess”, said Kingfisher.

  Then turned around and walked away with Kite and Williams, only leaving his back to the girls on the street who were looking at him with longing.

  "His words are strange." Yun Xi shook his head and forgot about this. He picked up Mei'er and stroked its quivering body, asking it what happened.

  "Whoa! Master! That big dog is terrible! It's a bad dog!" Mei'er cried.

  Fifteen minutes ago.

  In the alley not far away from where Yun Xi was.

  "Hum... humm... this should be this place!" Mei'er walked gently on the street. Its golden fur reflected the bright light of the sun, making it look like a prideful princess.

  In the deepest side of the remote alley, there was a big figure. It was a big dog that was as strong as a bull, whose size could scare ordinary people into crying.

  At this moment, Mei'er felt an unusual aura from this big dog's body.

  Chapter 355: The Prideful Prince

  It was a dog, a common dog wandering in the human world.

  It was about 1 metre long and its weight was only about 15 kg, which was too slender compared to its length. However, as a stray dog who could only find food in trash bins, what else could it ask for?

  Don't look down on its miserable appearance, because it was the only stray dog who had survived in the sword tip area for three years.

  Unlike the stray cats who could enjoy a leisurely life on the street because they were cute in the eyes of humans. It didn't have a pretty appearance, and couldn't even clean its body well like cats. Stray dogs were often caught and eliminated by the patrols in the sword tip area.

  Most stray dogs could survive a year in this area. The worst situation was to be killed on the second day coming to this area.

  Even so, numerous hungry dogs still rushed into this area, because it was easy to find food here. Stray dogs, they didn't have smart brains, as long as they could find food, they would try their luck.

  The feeling of hunger was too terrible. Even knowing they could probably be beaten to death, they couldn't stop their impulse to look for food here.

  But it was the smartest and most unique stray dog.

  Three years of life was actually a very long time for stray dogs. Most puppies couldn't even grow up, and the few lucky dogs left would die within two years because of bad nourishment.

  It wasn't like the other losers, because it could always find food in this area.

  Beginning with its birth, it naturally understood a lot of things which other dogs would only know after paying with their lives.

  Humans were only lively in the daytime, the best time range to look for food was from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the morning.

  Some of the wall enclosed th
e houses of humans had cracks on them, where it could sneak into and find leftovers. It could eat as much as it wanted there, and the most important thing was the patrols would never enter the houses of other humans.

  It didn't dare enter the houses which looked splendid, because there were protected by invisible dangers (now it knew the dangers were called magic circles).

  With the knowledge it knew naturally, it could avoid most dangers in the sword tip area.

  What made it feel confused was, although it ate a lot of food every day, it didn't become fat. Its poor brains couldn't figure out anything about this.

  Till one day, countless lights dropped to the ground from the sky. One light entered its body and aroused the old bloodline

  Although it looked like a miserable stray dog, it was actually a Black Demon Dog, the war machine of the Demons. Its bloodline was inherited from the highest ranking "King of the Black Demon Dogs".

  Even though the bloodline had become so thin that could be negligible, it was still the bloodline of the King of the Black Demon Dogs. As long as there was any chance, it would wake up.

  Most Black Demon Dogs aroused their bloodline on battlefields or in disaster areas, where they could find plenty of corpses. They would evolve into horrible monsters after eating sufficient flesh and blood.

  However, it was different, because its bloodline was aroused by the White Lotus Secret Treasure, and it heard "nine sounds".

  Due to this, its bloodline from the old King of Black Demons Dogs, the legendary Cerberus was activated!

  When it heard the nine sounds, the energy it absorbed and stocked within the three years was released, and its body became big instantly.

  Even it didn't know how much food it had eaten within the three years, but it must be able to be piled up like a mountain if it vomited them out.

  Maybe it’s bloodline would never be awakened in its life, unless it came upon a battlefield or a disaster happened in it’s area.

  Fortunately, the light from the White Lotus Secret Treasure offered it a great opportunity. Instantly, it obtained wisdom to understand its fate.

  It was a prince, the future king of all Black Demon Dogs.

  It wasn't a common dog, so it didn't have any interest in all the common female dogs it had ever seen.

  Qumran! It decided to give itself a name, which was the name of a death star in the sky, the name of the prideful, great Black Demon Dog Prince!

  It firmly believed that it would become an earth-shaking monster one day!

  The dawn of horror is coming, the era of the great Qumran is coming!

  "Hey, can you hear me?" When Qumran was lost in its imagination, a euphonious voice suddenly appeared beside its ears.

  What a wonderful, clear voice! It immediately imprinted inside Qumran's mind, making its heart pound heavily.

  Qumran slowly opened its eyes and saw its angel, the golden dog that was walking gently from the other side of the dim alley to it.

  She is my light!

  She is my sun!

  She is the goddess of all good qualities!

  In its three years of life, its heart was never moved by any female dog, but now, Qumran understood the meaning of "fall in love at first sight".

  It's her! It's her!

  Qumran's heart was filled with happiness and desire.

  I want her! Only her, the golden princess deserves to be the wife of the strong, handsome, majestic, talented, unique future king of all Black Demon Dogs.

  She is mine! I won't let anyone become my princess apart from her!

  "Roar!" Its blood was boiling. Qumran stood up with its hind legs like a human and stretched out a paw to Mei'er, folding her into its arms.

  Chapter 356: The Evil God's Power

  "I... I am... Qumran..." Because it just gained wisdom, it was tongue-tied.

  A common Black Demon Dog couldn't speak, unless it had reached the third form and specially enhanced its wisdom, it could gain the basic wisdom.

  Generally, such a Black Demon Dog could be the leader of a Black Demon Dog Legion. They were the core force of the Demons in the war.

  It could speak and even give itself a name, undoubtedly, it was because of its strong Bloodline of the King of all Black Demon Dogs.

  I'm born with the great bloodline. Even though I'm still alone, I'm the king of all alone dogs!

  "You can speak... so you have wisdom... great!" Mei'er hadn't realized what Qumran was thinking. She wanted to recruit it to be her subordinate.

  As the star spirit, the "Golden Princess", dogs would naturally feel close to her.

  Although the big black dog looked ferocious, but, as long as it was obedient, it could be a reliable helper.

  Unfortunately, she misunderstood Qumran.

  Although Qumran looked like a big black dog, it had no relationship with any real dog but was actually a lower-level Demon.

  Black Demon Dog was born to be a man-eating monster!

  Poor Mei'er hadn't realized this and was still glad to recruit her first subordinate.

  If I can recruit him, I can help master even in daily life!

  With such an idea, Mei'er smiled happily towards Qumran.

  At this moment, Qumran saw his angel!

  At this moment, Mei'er was sparkling in Qumran's eyes!

  Oh, my light, my hope, my belief!

  Even from the knowledge he inherited from his bloodline, he never saw such a beautiful, cute, sparkling beauty!

  He believed that even if its ancestor, the ultimate Black Demon Dog, Cerberus was here, its heart would inevitably be captured by her!

  Qumran totally fell in love.

  "Have... have a baby... with me!" Qumran roared. It had never had such a strong impulse in its life.

  "Hum?... err... you... what?!" Finally, Mei'er realized something was wrong. Her smile froze.

  "I'm the King of Corruption, the Son of Heaven, the proudest king of the world!" Although Qumran had just gained wisdom, it immediately learned how to boast of itself without a teacher.

  "Qumran" was the name it chose for itself, which meant "lone wolf". As the only Black Demon Dog that wandered in the sword tip area all day, it thought it was suitable to be him, the only king of this darkness!

  What a great name, isn't it?

  "Aren't you a dog?" Mei'er froze. It called itself "Qumran", which meant "lone wolf"... if it was really a wolf, she remembered her charm was useless on a wolf!

  "Hum humm... let me 'eat' you." Qumran wasn't really going to eat Mei'er, but some memories suddenly popped out of its mind, which was from the "secret books" it found from the houses of ladies when it looked for food in the past.

  Yes, this is the right method! According to the knowledge from the books, I should be arbitrary and cool, hot but also cold, so that the little princess in front of me would be charmed with my "manliness"!

  There is a reason I held my little princess in my arms, because it could properly show her my muscle and my hot love.

  When water flows, a channel is formed. Everything is going smoothly. My little princess, don't be shy to fall into my arms!

  "Arrrghhh!" Mei'er hunched over and kicked Qumran with her hind leg, then nimbly jumped to the wall and started running.

  Who will stay with you, disgusting monster! You are not even a dog. If I don't run, you will certainly eat me!

  "W-w-w-what?" Qumran was dumbfounded.

  No, that sn't right!

  In the books of human ladies, as long as a handsome man did this to girls, they would willingly fall into the man's arms.

  Aren't books the crystallization of human wisdom? How can they be wrong?

  No! I can't let her go! After a few seconds, Qumran lost his temper and crazily chased after Mei'er.

  You are mine! You are mine!

  If you don't come to me, I will come to you!

  Roarrrr! Don't run, my princess!

  ...

  Qumran's golden light ran away, going to a place it could never reach.

&nb
sp; Why are you running?

  My princess, my love! Don't leave me alone!

  "Guaaaagh! Ooo ooo!" Qumran cried. Although it only left a heart rotating in the black mist, it behaved as if it was still fighting the terrible black-haired maid.
