Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Chapter 44 Part1: Dragon Princess, Obadiah (1)

After another two days of traveling, Rayne and Hela finally arrived at their final destination.

Not far away from the freezing tundra was a pitch-black crack that extended endlessly.

The length of the crack was unknown and its depth was even more difficult to explore.

[Blazing Sun Wall]

That was the name given to the gigantic crack by the Leta people.

That was because according to their legend, this was a high wall created in the ancient era. It was created by the Main God of the elves and extended in reverse of the tundra, defending them against the strange monsters that resided in the depths of the tundra.

Of course, all of that was before the elven gods were slaughtered and transformed into quasigods by the... Goddess of Order.

It laid in the middle of the Desolate Tundra, forming a clear boundary line that separated the depths of the tundra from the Leta Empire on the other end.

Along the way…

Rayne's eyes had a scarlet thread guiding him forward.

That was the navigator that Olivia set for him.

But now, the scarlet thread had come to an end.

Here, Rayne saw the corpses of a large number of divine beings. They were frozen by the blizzards and had died for a long time.

They were lifted by their own weapons and stabbed into the frozen ground.

The scene resembled tragic flags that swayed with the cold wind.

Most of the corpses… were demigods of various races.

On the other end of the Blazing Sun Wall was the depths of the tundra—there were also countless indescribable deformed corpses that piled into pitch-black mountains.

Their murderer was none other than the ancient existence that lived at the bottom of the high wall.

"Obadiah is down here,"

At this moment, Olivia's voice sounded. "This guy is busy shedding his skin right now. It's a good opportunity to get rid of him."

For this battle against Obadiah, Olivia was still very concerned.

On the one hand, Olivia was the princess of the ancient dragons. She had to deal with anyone who challenged her authority.

On the other hand…

She was extremely curious.

"Rayne Haines, do you really intend to deal with an ancient dragon with just that single Imperial Guard of yours?"

Rayne was extremely calm. "Of course."

"You still have a chance to accept my help now,"

Olivia reminded him, "Let's make it clear first. There will be a delay if I want to assist you after you enter Obadiah's territory."

As an otaku of the strongest ancient dragon race, just like his other fat otaku relatives, Obadiah set up powerful barrier spells around his lair to protect his meticulously built small home.

Even for Olivia, if she wanted to dispel full-powered barrier spells conjured by an ancient dragon through the distance between the Nether Realm and the mortal realm, it would take her a couple of seconds.

However, a battle between demigods was ever-changing.

A few seconds was enough to determine the outcome of a battle.

Yet, this time round, Rayne rejected Olivia still.

"For now, it's better for us to keep a low profile."

Although Order was currently offline, the Order Gods under her lead were still operating, albeit barely.

"How about this, Your Highness?"

Rayne said calmly, "Since you want to help so badly, I won't ruin your mood. In that case, in order to give you a sense of participation, how about giving me a reward after this battle? It'll be on the same level as the assistance you want to provide me to help kill the ancient dragon."

"Mmm, that's not impossible…"

Olivia frowned and pondered for a moment before agreeing.

"Alright, look forward to it with a pious heart. If you can kill Obadiah, there will be a supreme treasure that is unique in the mortal world awaiting you."

She rubbed her hands in anticipation. "Good luck! Slice him viciously!"

Olivia's figure gradually disappeared.

With that, Olivia was now in spectator mode.

Beside Rayne, Hela gazed at the abyss. She realized that her perception was blocked by some sort of a barrier, preventing her from observing the situation beneath.

Be it above or beneath, everything was clearly telling Hela that the ancient dragon was here.

According to Rayne, the reason why Olivia wanted to eliminate the immortality of this subject and even allow mortals to hunt him down was because…

This ancient dragon wanted to usurp the position of Olivia.

The current Ancient Dragon Princess was the Dragon of Lust, Olivia.

Legend has it that she was once the most beautiful existence in the ancient dragon race.

And now, she had become the most beautiful goddess.

As the living embodiment of lust, Olivia possessed a terrifying bewitchment power that even gods would fall for.

At the same time, she had another title.

Goddess of Beauty.

In that case, the new candidate who wanted to challenge Olivia's authority as the Dragon Princess…

What sort of quality was she?

It was time to check things out.

Hela was prepared to move. "Your Highness, I'll create a safe shelter for you. Stay here and I'll go deal with that ancient dragon."

Rayne stopped Hela. "No, I'll go with you."

Huh?

Hela was stunned. "Your Highness, are you serious?"

Rayne replied, "I'm very serious."

Wha—

Hela was in a difficult position.

Now that it was time for the final battle, Hela felt that there were some things that she had to make clear to Rayne.

After all, the next enemy was not someone that she could deal with casually.

As the saying goes, fortune can be found in danger.

Hela had to be prepared to risk her life for a battle of this level.

Their opponent was an ancient dragon.

Among all the individuals that could be called humans…

Only demigods with a high purity bloodline of the gods were qualified to fight against such existences.

As for mortals, they were completely useless and worthless.

The battlefield did not belong to them.

There was no doubt.

Rayne's existence was a complete burden.

Of course, Hela had to be tactful with her words towards her boss.

Hela said in seriousness, "Your Highness Rayne, please stop joking. I can't protect you while fighting an ancient dragon."

However, at that moment, the puppets stuck their heads out of the dimensional rift.

They expressed...

Unconditional support towards Rayne's request!

Patting their chests, the puppets smiled. "Let us protect His Highness Rayne then! Even if His Highness Rayne is about to be attacked, I'll be his meat shield and protect him till the last moment!" contemporary romance

Rayne was touched when he heard that. "I'll have to trouble you guys later then. Right, Lilia, don't appear when you fight the ancient dragon later. Hide yourself well and wait for my signal."

Lilia Hela nodded. She was even more obedient towards Rayne than her mother. "I understand. I'll definitely not let the enemy discover me, Your Highness Rayne!"

Hela: "..............."

At the side, Hela's expression gradually darkened.

Meat shield...

She recalled the painful past of being used as a shield by these brats on the battlefield.

You guys used me, your mother, as a meat shield.

But you're willing to be meat shields for Rayne?!

Hela's face was filled with visible disappointment!

She was about to say something…

However, at that moment, Rayne walked before her.

Rayne knew how Hela felt. He revealed a sincere smile and held her hand.

"Your Excellency Hela, listen to me."
