Chapter 814 - 999: Magic Plane 7
Prince Maes’s face stiffened when he heard Xia Yue’s words. Did this person not understand human speech? If he could defeat the evil dragon on his own, he wouldn’t have let them join the fight together.
The evil dragon glanced at Prince Maes, then at Xia Yue and the others. Hearing that Xia Yue and company really weren’t going to lift a finger, it secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as it wasn’t very confident about defeating these odd humans either.
"Alright, stop the chatter and let’s get started. Of course, if you want to run away now, you can." Sensing that another group of people was about to reach the entrance of the Dragon’s Lair, and if he delayed any longer, they would take the princess away without facing any challenge, and he would lose out on his commission. Therefore, the evil dragon urged Prince Maes to hurry.
Prince Maes was caught in a dilemma. Running away would be shameful. If word got out, he would undoubtedly be ridiculed as a coward. Yet, standing against the evil dragon, he wasn’t at all certain he could prevail. Being defeated and fleeing would be just as embarrassing.
"Evil dragon, just make your move. You’re making him very conflicted. Fleeing without a fight will subject him to ridicule, and he doesn’t dare to strike you either. Better you make the move and take the choice out of his hands," Xia Yue said, noticing the prince’s indecision and eager to see a result, so he shouted to the evil dragon.
The evil dragon, upon hearing Xia Yue’s words and looking at the troubled expression on Prince Maes’s face, thought that humans really were hypocritical. It decided it was better off being a proper dragon and making the choice for him.
"Human, take this! I’ll make the choice for you." The evil dragon was quite honorable; it even gave a warning before attacking.
Prince Maes’s face turned to panic when he heard this, gripping his sword tightly, not daring to even breathe heavily as he watched the evil dragon.
