Novel Bin Chapter 79 Earth Arc Is Over
Chapter 79: Earth Arc is over
"Quiet," Li Xiao came out of his household, followed by his direct descendants. Everyone could see people of various ages, ranging from the elderly to recent prodigies.
Of course, people weren\'t surprised to see them all coming out to face the twins and Max, for their strength was already proved.
They grew confused, for they couldn\'t see the loudest and most arrogant lady in their ranks. The most brilliant prodigy whose talent was so high that no one could chide her for her vile actions wasn\'t here.
Li Xiao soon would answer everyone\'s confusion.
He couldn\'t ignore the twins and Max, who stood not too far away from them. While the twins drew attention with their beauties and peculiar origins, Max stood like a human, seemingly a servant.
But Li Xiao and a few powerful S-ranked players saw his potential, mana, and sleeping talent within him.
\'He\'s standing behind, keeping attention on surrounding people… So it\'s the dragons\' revenge,\' Li Xiao inferred before parting his lips.
He didn\'t introduce himself or plan to have a nice talk with the twins, "We will all fight you head-on, to death, no less. My Li Household will honor this death battle by fighting with everything we got, except our weakest links.
I expect nothing less from you," Li Xiao said before drawing a beautiful pink sword from his sheath.
Alice tilted her head, seemingly confused by his words, "You expect honor when you lowered yourself to enslave us?! Fuck you!"
Zamira narrowed her eyes, whispering, "He wants us to spare his blood. Our target has always been that old dog, but I don\'t mind dirtying my hands with his pests."
Max curved his lips while listening to them. Even though they had their adorable sights, those were mostly reserved only for him. The dragons were cruel and wouldn\'t hold themselves back from taking revenge on others.
They would do more than revenge, actually.
For enslaving them, it would be appropriate to enslave Li Xiao and his family, turning them into slave dogs for Aimee or someone else.
However, Alice and Zamira couldn\'t bother themselves with that. They just didn\'t feel like doing all this work. Moreover, Max would soon leave Earth for a bigger adventure, so that was just pointless.
"You will all die," Alice declared, turning into a vast dragon that immediately filled half of the household.
Like her, Zamira became a dragon, too, her form soaring to the sky. She took over the skies, swathing her draconian body with flames.
Her little sister crawled through the air, slamming her head against every S-ranked player and other holders of Li\'s bloodline. Other than using her race characteristics, such as the dragon\'s breath, Alice also summoned mini water dragons.
Those were like bullets raining down on everyone around her. Some bystanders ended up getting wounded by them.
And when they thought that they had escaped, the sky turned red, spitting flame rain, directed mainly at Li Xiao and his forces.
Zamira threw fire at her enemy, yet her power was so vast that she frightened and threatened weaker players watching the show.
She didn\'t care, though.
"For anyone wondering why Li Noemi is not here, she has run away to whore herself in a different continent," Li Xiao declared, coating his words with mana so everyone could hear him.
Li Noemi heard him in a far place from his household, her face flushing red. And while she had such a reaction, everyone else somewhat sighed, her absence making sense.
She always seemed a selfish person.
"I hope you have heard me," Li Xiao uttered while gazing at the sky, where the fire dragon resided with her whole artillery aimed at him.
Zamira\'s eyes flashed briefly, which was enough for Li Xiao. He retracted his attention to the blue dragon, whose sharp fangs were close to his body.
He held her back with his pink sword, each move drawing petals. Those petals reflected Alice\'s water skills, no matter what form.
\'We were too lucky that the dragon slayers had wounded those dragons before,\' Li Xiao uttered while exchanging blows with Alice.
Just from a few moves, he realized there was no chance of him winning against her. She didn\'t even have to try hard against him; her abundant mana was enough to kill him.
But as Alice and Zamira were angry, they didn\'t waste any resources, throwing it all at Li Xiao.
His skills made a good impression on them. With such unique swordsmanship, Li Xiao would\'ve been able to fight well against many people, and he would be a pain in the ass against people of his level.
But as he lacked mana and power, he could only defend against the twins… He was fighting against time more than anything else.
\'Will I keep our household alive?\' Li Xiao asked himself, recalling his wife\'s face, for she was why he stood up here. He was ready to sacrifice just so their hard work would be left behind on Earth for eternity.
For that reason alone, he became colder and harsher, yearning for immortality, or at least much more years to live.
BANG!
"!"
Li Xiao\'s sword broke, for it was a weapon from an S-ranked dungeon. Even though it was the highest grade, that item stemmed from the Earth\'s origins. His weapon was nothing against Alice\'s scales.
It would have shattered much earlier if it weren\'t for Li Xiao\'s mana and skills.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
And as he lost his sword, Li Xiao lost all means to defend himself. He could only raise his hands, blocking some water bullets and fireballs. But that amounted to nothing, for those lethal elements scratched and burned his skin.
Li Xiao didn\'t scream or beg. He clenched his teeth, biting his lips as he continued drawing out more of his willpower.
In the corner of his eye, he saw his descendants doing the same, hurling their weapons and skills at the water dragon.
They gave their all just so their household would survive.
An immense pride filled Li Xiao\'s heart, "KEEP GOING!"
"YES!" Li Household exclaimed, fighting to the very end.
Their bodies suffered worse wounds, for they weren\'t as strong as Li Xiao. Their skin opened in many places, fire permeating their flesh. A sharp water element continuously turned all wounds, even small ones, into lacerations.
They kept going forward despite all of it.
And for such a resolution, their household would stay… for an eternity.
At last, Li Xiao slammed into his house, landing precisely before his dead wife\'s shrine. It opened due to his fall\'s impact, revealing her photo.
Li Xiao smiled from the bottom of his heart, "I think I impressed dragons. If one of our descendants learns my swordsmanship to at least a mediocre level, our household will remain for eternity.
Now… I will join…" Li Xiao whispered, sensing an incoming danger. He closed his eyes, waiting for the twins to end his life.
And as he expected, two techniques precisely aimed at his heart slipped into the house.
A thin water and fire needle tore through the air, sinking into Li Xiao\'s back. The two skills popped into his heart, entering simultaneously into it.
"Ugh!" Li Xiao puked a mouthful of blood, grasping his chest. His eyes opened widely, for the pain was too much, even for a veteran like him.
And as the light slowly faded from his eyes, Li Xiao\'s life ended.
He dropped dead, yet his lips were curved into a smile.

Max stared at the old dog\'s death, not feeling anything. He couldn\'t tell what went through the twins\' hearts, but Zamira and Alice, in their dragon forms, looked relieved as if they had erased a stain from their honor.
That mattered the most.
"Since the Darkened Soul has escaped, it means my journey on Earth is close to over, isn\'t it?" Max closed his eyes, recalling his beginnings.
He started cautious, building his stats. He kept increasing them, even now, but the methods were naturally much different and more rewarding… He then learned stuff, starting from how unique he was and how strong his grandpa used to be.
With such potential, Max didn\'t have to hold back.
"Is destroying dungeons what I want… Or I hated this world for limiting grandpa?" Max looked around, sensing people\'s eyes on him.
They looked away, scared of him. Many normal people couldn\'t wield any mana yet, so Max and the twins were akin to monsters. They looked like demons who didn\'t value life.
Max shrugged, no longer caring about his Fate Star\'s purpose.
He would confirm whether he really destroyed dungeons with his presence soon enough, for his journey to another world would start pretty soon. He would now focus on S-ranked beasts, killing them for food and luxurious meals.
He would also help people with high-quality items from those monsters.
It was quite immature of Max, though.
Because if he held power to destroy the dungeons, what about The Tower?
Wasn\'t it like the advanced dungeon with vast floors and more advanced mana?
Many people, including Fate Stars, would point their weapons at him if he wielded power to destroy such an existence.
