Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: City of Mist

At night, Xi De was wandering around as usual and got lost again.

Unknowingly, he walked into a mist.

Xi De was already used to it; he always got lost anyway, but this time the place he got lost in was a bit far.

He walked for a long time but didn't reach the end.

He decided to return the way he came, but not long after he started back, he walked out of the mist. This was not the path he had taken to arrive.

What greeted his eyes was a lost ancient capital.

Xi De immediately called Xi Nuo.

Xi Nuo sensed Xi De's magic calling him.

He immediately rushed to Xi De's location.

About 10 minutes later, Xi Nuo arrived at Xi De's location.

"What do you think of this place, a city hidden in the mist, perfect for the Eminence in Shadow's base!"

"This is, the lost Royal Capital of Alexandria!"

"Ah? What Alexandria!"

"It's Alexandria! The Royal Capital recorded in books that was destroyed by the Mist Dragon!"

"Sounds really impressive!"

"And the Mist Dragon, I really want to fight it!"

At this moment, a dragon's roar came from within Alexandria.

"So many years have passed, and there are still humans who dare to set foot here!"

A majestic voice rang out.

A flying dragon flew out of the ancient city of Alexandria.

"Shadow, who goes first?" Shadow asked.

As Xi De's backer, Xi De definitely had to ask Xi Nuo's opinion.

"You go! I'll just watch!"

"You two just come at me together, don't waste my time!"

After the Mist Dragon finished speaking, it opened its mouth and spewed out blue-purple mist.

The mist instantly covered the surroundings.

Xi Nuo and Xi De couldn't see anything.

But both of them could sense the immense magic power emanating from the Mist Dragon.

"Clap!"

Xi De clapped his hands, and magic power rapidly swirled around Xi De, eventually forming a small tornado that directly dispersed the mist.

Xi De took out his slime sword and disappeared from the spot.

He slashed at the Mist Dragon's head with a single strike.

The slime sword didn't injure the Mist Dragon in the slightest, being blocked by its tough skin. Although there was no surface wound, there was actual pain.

"You hateful human!"

The Mist Dragon felt intense pain; it hadn't been injured in a long time.

It didn't expect this small human to actually be able to cause it harm.

The Mist Dragon shook its body, trying to shake Xi De off its head.

Xi De directly flew into the air, while the Mist Dragon furiously thrashed its body in the air. Not seeing Xi De fall, it vigorously shook its head, looking quite foolish.

"What are you doing?"

Xi De flew above the Mist Dragon, looking down at it like an idiot.

"You hateful human, I'm going to kill you!"

The Mist Dragon opened its mouth, and magic power gathered within it.

A blue magical light ray shot out at an extremely fast speed.

Xi De raised his hand, and magic power was released from his hand. A shield appeared, completely blocking the magic attack.

Xi De swung his sword and hit the Mist Dragon again.

What followed was Xi De's one-sided beating of the Mist Dragon.

The Mist Dragon's strength wasn't very great, but it was incredibly resistant to damage. No matter how Xi De attacked, he couldn't break through its defenses.

"You hateful human, once your magic power is exhausted, you're dead!"

The Mist Dragon thought to itself.

However, Xi De beat it for an hour, and there was no sign of his magic power depleting.

Instead, the Mist Dragon couldn't endure it anymore.

It felt its magic power was about to run out. Once its magic power was exhausted, its physical defense would greatly decrease, and it wouldn't be able to withstand Xi De's attacks.

"Stop fighting, I give up, I give up, this place is yours!"

The Mist Dragon quickly begged for mercy.

Seeing the other party surrender, Xi De stopped fighting.

"Then this ancient capital, Alexandria, is ours!"

"It's Alexandria!"

"Close enough!"

Xi De walked around inside the ancient capital of Alexandria but found nothing.

He didn't find any money at all, and in the end, Xi De left with regret.

Xi Nuo, on the other hand, returned to Shadow Garden's temporary base, called the Seven Shadows, and gathered them for a meeting.

The next day, everyone sat around the conference table.

"It's like this, Xi De, that is, Shadow, he discovered the lost Royal Capital of Alexandria! There, he defeated the Mist Dragon and gained the Mist Dragon's approval. The other party is willing to give Alexandria to us as a base!"

"Shadow's strength is actually so powerful!" Zeta said.

Zeta, who had read a great many books, was very clear about the matter of the lost Royal Capital of Alexandria.

It was destroyed by the Mist Dragon, and that area always had a permanent poisonous mist, making it impossible for normal people to approach.

"Zeta, explain the story of Alexandria to them! The others don't seem to have heard of it!"

Zeta explained the course of events.

This allowed Alpha and the others to clearly understand the power of the Mist Dragon and the mystery of the lost Royal Capital of Alexandria.

After Zeta finished telling the story, Xi Nuo led the Seven Shadows to the edge of the mist.

"The Mist Dragon's poisonous mist is not difficult to deal with. You just need to circulate magic power in a special way to detoxify it!"

Xi Nuo explained the detoxification method, and everyone quickly learned how to detoxify.

Xi De advanced along the places he had marked with magic power yesterday, thus avoiding getting lost.

Soon the mist dispersed, and everyone saw the lost Royal Capital of Alexandria.

"So this is what the City of Mist looks like?"

Not long after everyone entered the City of Mist.

The Mist Dragon came again.

The Mist Dragon, who couldn't beat Xi De yesterday, grew more and more angry the more it thought about it. It was a legendary dragon, and it had to let humans know its power.

Today it was going to pick a different opponent. Weren't there two people who came yesterday?

This time it wanted to fight the other person one-on-one and regain its dignity from him.

"Mist Dragon, what do you want to do?"

"I said this place is yours, and I won't go back on my word. Yesterday I had an upset stomach, today you fight me!"

As a legendary dragon, it didn't want to lose face.

"Alpha, you all get back! To avoid accidental injury!"

"It seems I didn't beat you into submission yesterday! Then today, I will beat you into submission!"

Xi Nuo drew a weapon from his clothes.

"star sword!"

This was a weapon Xi Nuo had created by spending one thousand three hundred and twenty-four days fusing one hundred slime swords together.

Its power was immense. It was perfect for fighting things with tough hides like this.

"Let's begin!"

As Xi Nuo's voice fell.

The Mist Dragon spat out blue-purple mist.

Xi Nuo waved his hand, and a ball of magic power appeared, converging into a large folding fan.

"Disperse!"

With a wave of Xi Nuo's fan, a hurricane struck, directly blowing away the mist.

"This!" The Mist Dragon was stunned.

"This human dispersed my mist even faster than the human yesterday!"

"Xi Nuo flew directly towards the Mist Dragon!"

Compared to Xi De's speed yesterday, Xi Nuo's speed was indeed a bit slower.

"This guy should be easier to beat than that guy yesterday!"

The Mist Dragon opened its mouth, gathered magic power, and a magic ray shot out.

Xi Nuo swung the star sword in his hand, and the magic ray was directly split in half on the spot.

When the Mist Dragon tried to attack again, Xi Nuo had already arrived above it.

"Shatter!"

The moment Xi Nuo shouted, the star sword heavily struck the Mist Dragon's head.

The Mist Dragon rapidly plummeted towards the ground.

"Rumble!"

The Mist Dragon crashing onto the ground caused a small localized earthquake.

"This guy's attack can actually break through my defenses directly!"

Just now, the Mist Dragon felt like its head almost exploded.

Xi Nuo descended from the sky, and the star sword heavily smashed into the Mist Dragon's belly.

The Mist Dragon immediately spat out a mouthful of dragon blood.

"Stop fighting, stop, I surrender!"

Xi Nuo could have killed the Mist Dragon on the spot, but if he killed it, the surrounding mist might disappear.

Without the mist, this place would no longer be mysterious.

After considering the pros and cons, Xi Nuo decided to let the other party go.

"I surrender, I promise I won't come again, this place is yours!"

After the Mist Dragon finished speaking, it flew away. It didn't dare to stay any longer; if it stayed, it would definitely be beaten to death.

The Seven Shadows watched Xi Nuo brutally beat the Mist Dragon, which refreshed their worldview.

The Mist Dragon was a legendary dragon, yet this legendary fierce beast had no power to fight back in Xi Nuo's hands.

Just by seeing the Mist Dragon, the Seven Shadows instinctively felt its terror. They felt that with every move it made, they might die by the Mist Dragon's hand.

"Shadow, your strength has reached such a level!" Alpha exclaimed.

"You're too amazing, Lord Shadow!" Beta looked at Xi Nuo with admiration.

"Lord Shadow is too strong!" Gamma also admired.

"Master is too amazing, when can I have children with Delta!" Delta said excitedly.

"With such a powerful Lord Shadow leading us, we can definitely overthrow The Order!" Epsilon said.

"Lord Shadow's terrifying strength, I must also work hard to keep up with Lord Shadow's pace!" Zeta said, looking at Xi Nuo.

Eta's mind wandered, contemplating how to modify a bicycle.
