Chapter 201: Chapter 201
“You mean I was an earth dragon before this?” The brown-skinned humanoid figure slightly tilted his head. “Yes”, Eru nodded, “A very ferocious earth dragon that rampaged everywhere”, he said. “Do you remember how you become like this?” Eru asked. The brown-skinned humanoid figure rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment before answering, “No. All I can remember is that I was injured so bad that my friend suggested doing some surgery on me. Apart from that, I don’t really remember anything. How much time had passed, or how I passed that time was a mystery to me.”
“But, I did not expect that my friend turned me into an earth dragon, though. I thought dragons were extinct”, the brown-skinned humanoid figure furrowed his eyebrows. Suddenly, both Eru and the brown-skinned humanoid figure felt a huge power emerge from the ground. “How does it feel being back again in the land of the living, Meng Huo?” a red-haired woman wearing a black cloak could be seen flying in the air. Eru frowned, looking at the red-haired woman; he opened his mouth, “Who are you?” he asked. Before the red-haired woman managed to reply, the brown-skinned humanoid figure growled, “Zhu Rong”, he said with a hint of killing intent.
“How are you alive? I am sure I killed you by my own hands”, the brown-skinned humanoid figure, Meng Huo, gritted his teeth. “As you can see, I’m perfectly fine. Alive and well”, the red-haired woman, Zhu Rong, smiled provocatively. “You know this chick?” Eru looked at Meng Huo. “Yes”, Meng Huo answered without averting his gaze on Zhu Rong, “The Red She-Devil, slaughterer of many, monster on the battlefield.” Zhu Rong slightly raised her head while crossing her arms, “To hear that nickname again. How long has it been?” she grinned.
“What are you doing here?” Meng Huo slightly raised his voice. “I’m here to check how you progress. After all, you are one of my precious experiments”, Zhu Rong answered with slightly raised lips. “Experiments?” Meng Huo furrowed his eyebrows. “You still did not get it? Didn’t that young man beside you already tell you what happened? You are an earth dragon before I turn you back into humanoid form. So you should be grateful to me.” Meng Huo lowered his head, “Me, your experiment? You are lying. I entrusted myself to Fredy before; there’s no way—” Before Meng Huo finished his sentence, Zhu Rong took out an old man’s head from behind her black cloak.
“Oh, you mean this old geezer? He did not put up much of a fight. What a shame”, Zhu Rong threw the old man’s head towards Meng Huo’s legs. Meng Huo was in a state of shock as he knelt slowly and touched the old man’s head, “F-Fredy?” he slowly felt the facial features of the old man’s severed head. Tears streamed from Meng Huo’s eyes as his body shivered. “Zhu Rong!” Meng Huo exploded with tremendous power as he leapt towards Zhu Rong, who was flying in the air.
“Ah, ah, ah” Zhu Rong smiled while waving her hand. Suddenly, Meng Huo stopped his motion in the air, “W-what are you doing to me?” he struggled to speak. “Just a soul binding technique”, Zhu Rong smirked at Meng Huo, “You think I came out here without some preparations? Please, you’re more naïve than you used to, Meng Huo.” Meng Huo struggled, “L-let go of me!” he barked. “I will, but—” The red-haired woman waved her hand, and together with the motion of her hand, Meng Huo’s body turned towards Eru. “But you will not be fighting me”, Zhu Rong said with a despicable smile.
“Leave that young man alone, Zhu Rong. This is between you and me!” Meng Huo shouted. “Tch, tch, tch. No can do. You see, you are my experiment. So it’s only right that I use you to find out what my experiment is capable of. Now, off you go. Fight that raven-haired youth”, Zhu Rong commanded while snapping her fingers. After that, Meng Huo’s body moved on its own as he suddenly appeared right in front of Eru. “Dodge, young man!” Meng Huo warned while his body was sending a kick towards Eru’s head. Eru crouched down before backing away. Zhu Rong watched this with interest, “Come, young man. Show me all that you can do”, she murmured while licking her lips.
While the red-haired woman was busy licking her lips like a pervert, Eru was struggling against the barrage of attack that the brown-skinned humanoid figure gave him. “This is hard. Slow down a little, will you!?” Eru grumbled while dodging another kick thrown by Meng Huo. “Good dodge”, Meng Huo praised, “Now, prepare yourself. I’m going to throw another punch”, he warned as his body moved on its own. Eru jumped upwards; he flapped his raven-coloured wings to fly high in the air, avoiding Meng Huo’s punch. Right after that, Meng Huo crouched down; he gathered strength on his legs to leapt towards Eru.
Meng Huo appeared in front of Eru in an instant, “You have got to be kidding me, so fast!” Eru exclaimed while watching Meng Huo’s body was preparing another attack. “This one is going to get dangerous, kid”, Meng Huo warned. Then, Meng Huo’s fist glowed bright yellow as he threw a straight punch towards Eru. Meng Huo’s fist was so fast that Eru only managed to barely dodge it by the skin of his teeth. “How come you’re so strong?” Eru mumbled, flapping his raven-coloured wings; he manoeuvred around Meng Huo. Meng Huo, who did not have any wings on his own, had to land on the ground first before chasing after Eru again.
The exchange between Eru and Meng Huo continued for a while until the red-haired woman yawned. “This is getting boring”, the red-haired woman stretched her whole body, “Why don’t you attack, young man?” she glared at Eru. “Why should I listen to you? As a matter of fact, why did I have to fight this guy when I can just come after you?” Eru stated before flapping his raven-coloured wings, flying with high velocity towards the red-haired woman. However, just before Eru could reach the red-haired woman, the latter snapped her fingers. Right after the red-haired woman snapped her fingers, Meng Huo appeared suddenly right before Eru, blocking his advance towards the red-haired woman.
“Zhu Rong!” Meng Huo groaned with massive killing intent while his whole body was trembling, blocking Eru’s attack with his two arms. Eru’s eyes widened in surprise, “That’s some hard arms”, Eru quipped before twirling his body around, slightly backing away from Meng Huo. After that, Eru used the chance when Meng Huo was falling on the ground to once again flap his raven-coloured wings. Eru instantly appeared before the red-haired woman, “Die!” Eru brandished his aura-coated black sword. The red-haired woman snickered; she watched as Eru’s black sword slowly arched towards her.

The armoured woman wiped the sweat out of her face, “Phew”, she sighed. Then, she looked at her fellow comrade that survived the assault from the horde of monstrous creatures last night with pride, “Are we done with the cleaning up?” the armoured woman asked. The blue-haired female soldier nodded, “Yes, ma’am. After we piled these monsters’ corpses up and burned them, we are done.” The armoured woman nodded, “Good. After this, we’re going to rest up at the academy”, she informed.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the armoured woman took a shower, and when she was about to wear her casual clothes, someone was knocking on her door. “What is it?” the armoured woman asked. “Principal Helga is asking for you, commander”, replied the man behind the door. The armoured woman furrowed her eyebrows, “Tell Principal Helga I’ll be coming soon”, she said. “Yes, ma’am!” the man behind the door saluted before leaving. The armoured woman wore her signature armour; strapping her shield on her back and her sword on her waist, she opened the door.
Right after that, the armoured woman walked towards principal Helga’s office. On the way, she was greeted with thankful gestures and respect by the academy staff, the students and the adventurers. The armoured woman only waved her hands and smiled slightly whenever someone greeted her. As the armoured woman was closing in on principal Helga’s office, the latter spoke in her mind, “Come in”, Principal Helga softly massaged. “What is it?” the armoured woman asked while closing the office’s door. “Catch”, Principal Helga threw a green amulet towards the armoured woman.
“What is it?” the armoured woman observed the green amulet in her hand. “A magical device”, Principal Helga said mischievously. “I know it is a magical device. I can feel the mana inside the amulet. But what is it for?” the armoured woman rolled her eyes. Principal Helga smiled slightly, “I think it is about time we send a reinforcement to the bunker.” Right after Principal Helga said that, the armoured woman’s expression turned serious, “What do you have in mind?”
