Chapter 44.2: Dragon Princess, Obadiah (2)
Rayne had a serious expression. "I know very well how dangerous the enemy below is. Please try to believe in me once, I won't let you down."
"Your Highness Rayne…"
Typically, Hela did not like mortals touching her body.
However, this time round, Hela did not resist.
In fact, she was pleasantly surprised…
Along the way, Rayne flirted with the puppets the entire time.
Now, his attention was finally on her...
Cough, cough!
Hela snapped out of her reverie. After careful consideration, she decided to agree to Rayne's suggestion…
In reality, Hela had always been in a state of disregard towards Rayne. She could not see anything extraordinary about this prince and could not be bothered with him.Of course, even if it was any other mortal, she would feel bored as well.
However, recently… Prince Rayne had gradually attracted her attention.
His Highness had become very different from before, like a completely different person.
His aura, demeanor, gaze and that handsome face that she could not forget…
Hela was silent for a moment.
"I understand, Your Highness,"
She nodded.
She would trust this mortal prince this time round.
"Great."
Rayne smiled and leaned forward, looking into Hela's eyes. "Right, should I give you a kiss too after we win?"
"T-There's no need…"
Hela rejected hurriedly and averted her gaze slightly, not daring to meet Rayne's eyes.
There was something those silly puppets said that Hela agreed with.
His Highness Rayne's eyes… were truly beautiful.
Even though Hela already knew that those eyes were a blessing from the evil dragon to Rayne…
However... it did not change the fact that they were beautiful.
Alright, time to go!
No longer thinking about nonsense, Hela looked at the bottomless abyss beneath her feet and gripped Rayne's hand tightly. "Your Highness, prepare yourself."
Thereafter…
Hela leaped down with Rayne.
Falling into the abyss, their bodies descended against the howl of the cold air.
The moment she was about to reach the bottom of the abyss and be crushed, Hela activated a spell.
Silver-white crystals appeared beside the two of them.
As the crystals shattered...
A crystallization spell exclusive to the Haines demigods took effect.
The speed of their descent was reduced to zero instantly. Eventually, Hela and Rayne landed gently on the ground without any injuries.
The two of them arrived in the ancient dragon's domain.
It was unlike the cold outside.
The weather at the bottom of the abyss was warm, the air was clear and the environment was comfortable.
Here, the two of them caught sight of a resplendent palace.
It was the ancient dragon's palace.
Mortals loved to refer to the ancient dragon habitats as lairs.
However, those who truly lived in simple caves and stacked their collections into crude mountains of gold and silver…
They were just ordinary dragons.
The ancient dragon was an intelligent race with a developed civilization.
The residences they built for themselves were in fact even more majestic than the wonders of mortal countries.
What appeared before Hela and Rayne was one such glorious palace!
The tall tower made of gold bricks shone with a luxurious glow, blinding Hela.
Everything was completely golden...
Hela was drooling. "These… are all gold?!"
Rayne's expression was calm. "Calm down, it's just gold plating."
"Oh…"
Instantly, the smile on Hela's face vanished—to think that ancient dragons liked to put on fronts as well.
However…
Although the tower was gold-plated, Hela could see countless treasures displayed through the windows of the tower.
Hela was craving it again.
By the way…
What about the ancient dragon?
Where was the Dragon Princess, Obadiah?
At that moment, a deep and rough voice sounded from the gold-plated tower.
"Stupid demigod, do you have a death wish?!"
The voice was filled with anger.
At the same time, it was also filled with the boldness and strength of a man!
There was no doubt...
It must be a damn…
Man!
Bang!!!
The ground was smashed by a majestic creature that was like an iron mountain and gravel flew everywhere!
A burly humanoid figure appeared!
It was a man that was three meters tall.
His muscles were like steel and his bronze skin was as coarse as sandpaper. Although he had no hair, he had a thick beard that resembled steel needles on his chin!
Although he was a human, he possessed the aura of an ancient dragon that was incomparably strong! It was an overpowering smell!
Hela glared at the guy who suddenly appeared.
Her mouth cramped up and she gasped, unable to speak properly!
Aba, ba, aba, aba, baba?!
Hela looked at the manly man who appeared out of nowhere in shock before turning back to Rayne.
Hela said, "Your Highness, t-this is…"
Rayne had a stern expression. "The candidate for the Dragon Princess, Obadiah… Hela, a strong foe has appeared!"
Was this the f*cking Dragon Princess?
Hela was shocked.
It was no wonder why Olivia wanted to kill him!
The image of this Dragon Princess candidate was way too abstract!!!
Dragon Princess Obadiah had a cold gaze and said in a rough voice, "To think that you would come knocking at this moment. Olivia… you're indeed the one plotting against me!"
"However, it's fine!"
Obadiah sneered. At that moment, he was not nervous. In fact, he was filled with confidence.
He looked down at Hela arrogantly and threatened, "Demigod, I'll give you one last chance. Take this opportunity and leave my line of sight!"
I don't want an eyesore like you to appear in my line of sight either, alright?!
Hela cursed internally.
Right then…
A hand pressed down firmly on Hela's shoulder.
It was Rayne.
Hela: "Your Highness?"
In truth, Rayne had long known the true situation of Obadiah.
However, he did not say it.
He wanted to see Hela's interesting reaction.
Now that Rayne was satisfied, he came forward and consoled Hela gently, "Calm down, Your Excellency Hela. What's with the fuss? Do you finally see this Dragon Princess with his curly, bushy chest and bulging green veins?"
Hela: "Ha…"
Rayne patted Hela on the shoulder. "Go, give him two tight slaps!"
