Chapter 333 Lin Xue And Allen’s First Quest (Final)
"Elders, summon that thing right now." He ordered the elders who were silently standing away in different directions. After that, he proceeded to unleash another mud dragon but this one was a lot bigger and appeared to be quite powerful, almost reaching the power of a legendary realm beast (low-8-circle).
Seeing that their boss was going all out right from the beginning for some reason, the other four mages also raised their respective scepters and unleashed a combination skill, summoning a giant serpent with four heads.
Each head was of a different attribute (fire, wind, lightning, dark) and the monster seems to be in the 7-circle realm, turning Lin Xue's face pale. "We're doomed." She felt like all of her plans were useless in front of these extraordinary powers and there was no way they could escape.
"I'm sorry." She mumbled in sadness and looked at Allen's back as the latter raised the sword above his head.
Even Yao Ling was also not confident about escaping with his life. Hence, he decided to follow his original plan. He dashed forward toward the giant serpent and the four elders, planning to detonate his ether particles and take down the enemies with him.
But, just as he reached halfway, he felt an enormous power behind him. The four-headed serpent started shivering as it raised its head. Even the elders took a step back in reflex.
Yao Ling couldn't help but stop in his tracks and turn around only to see a giant light dragon floating above the heads of Lin Xue and Allen. "What the hell…"
Meanwhile, the old man looked like he was also in a daze, "Supreme realm?"
*Roar*
The light dragon let out a powerful roar as Allen swung down the sword, "Skill: Light Dragon, complete. Go…"
The light dragon, which was only as big as 10 ft, rushed forward while opening its mouth.
"Defend…" The old man momentarily forgot about the energy mud dragon that was summoned right beside him and hurried up to conjure a defensive wall.
The light dragon slammed into the barrier, destroyed it, then, went on its way, collided with the boss of the gang along with his energy mud that was on standby, and finally struck the wall of a barrier.
The golden barrier was destroyed, the mud dragon and the old man were nowhere to be seen, and the surroundings became dark once again.
"Skill: Illumination."
The words escaped Allen's mouth before a wave of light energy was released by the divine sword, illuminating the surroundings.
The android then turned around to look at Lin Xue and smiled, "the barrier is destroyed. Will you teleport to your home?"
He didn't have much reaction to the death of the enemy of the prowess of the light dragon. All he cared is about completing the mission that he had taken.
Seeing that he helped out his friend to teleport away,
Lin Xue's heartbeat rose rapidly as she stared at Allen, forgetting everything around.
"Sister Lin? Sister Lin?" Allen had to call her a couple of times to bring back her to reality.
"Allen," She pointed her finger at the empty space before them, "What was that?"
"Oh, it is one of the skills that are possessed by the sword," calmly replied the android.
Lin Xue followed up with the next question, "What was that sword anyway?"
"My master calls it the divine sword Aries, which was once wielded by Emperor Ku and passed down to Emperor Zhi, Emperor Yao, and finally Emperor Shun."
"Emperor Ku, Shun, Yao, and Zhi?" Lin Xue was never shocked more than when she heard of those figures. "You mean the one from the legends? I heard various stories about them but didn't know that they were real. How did you master acquire it?"
Allen answered without hiding the truth as it wasn't prohibited by his master, "It was given by Emperor Shun's spirit."
"So, the stories about those five emperors and three sovereigns becoming immortals and leaving for the celestial realm might be true, after all," exclaimed Lin Xue in excitement before she came to her senses by another piece of logic came to her mind, "Nah, their names might have also been used to cover up its real origins."
She doesn't know whether Mark lied to Allen or not, but one thing became clear to her. Allen was too precious for his master.
She also realized that it might be challenging for her to free Allen from his master's control.
Perhaps, she should just stop thinking about it and try to get along with Mark instead so that he willingly frees Allen. Or else, she would be forced to live on the first floor of the Genesis Weapon Store after her marriage.
Hmm, wait a second…
Lin Xue suddenly realized that something was off in her latest thoughts. "Marriage? Are you crazy? Why the hell are you thinking of such a ridiculous thing?" Her eyes unknowingly shifted to Allen, who shifted his attention to the kneeling four elders.
The four-headed serpent was dismissed by them upon realizing that their enemy is too strong for them to even try and escape.
As Allen walked toward them while feeling that they were no longer a threat with the fear clearly displayed on their faces, Lin Xue kept staring at his back. "Well, alongside his looks, he does have perfect broad shoulders, neither too buffed like the second prince nor thin like the third prince." She shook her head immediately, "what are you thinking, Lin Xue? Get a hold of yourself."

One week later;
On one of the beaches of Fujian island, Mark was enjoying a morning walk alongside Song Yue with both of them linking their arms and chatting about various things, although it was mostly Mark talking about the stories from his past life.
"So, you use this thing called a phone to talk to a person even from the other side of the world?" Song Yue couldn't help but be excited whenever her fiancé explained a new thing that was unheard of in this world.
Mark nodded with a smile and proudly bragged about his past once again for the nth time, "It's just the beginning, my Schatz. We can take photos, record our moments to watch them later, and learns things that were happening in a corner of the world. The technology developed so quickly that by the time of the war, we can wrap the superphones around our wrist like a bracelet."
"Ohhh…"
While Song Yue didn't understand even half of Mark's explanation about the features of the mobile phones from his time, she was fascinated by the things from the other world and even wanted to go there one day if she gets an opportunity.
After a while, the Black Knight entered the beach to fetch the couple for the morning breakfast.
However, as he saw the both of them quite intimate with each other, a satisfactory smile appeared on his face. "I guess I shouldn't disturb them. It is just breakfast anyway. Missing it will not be a big deal."
Seeing that his daughter is quite happy with his future son-in-law, he turned around to walk away to busy himself with sword training.
As a mage, he was never good with swords but lately, to pose as the mysterious swordsman, he was practicing common sword techniques from the books sold by the Swordmasters guild.
