Chapter 1175: Chapter 906 The Last Xu Cheng

I’ve been fooled all along.

Hearing Shallow Dream’s words, Xu Cheng’s heart shattered. She shook her head, incredulous.

"Why?" She had no doubt about Shallow Dream’s honesty; to say such things took immense courage.

In front of Xu Cheng, Shallow Dream squatted down, sorrowfully holding Xu Cheng’s cheeks, wiping Xu Cheng’s tears with her fingers.

"I’m sorry, but I have to tell you the truth," Shallow Dream said sadly. "Lady Farosa doesn’t want you to survive, using a billion in funds to lure you onto this path. To Lady Farosa, money is nothing. You’ve encountered countless troubles on your way, but your final obstacle is me! Yet, Lady Farosa surely doesn’t know me well; she hasn’t seen me for many years and thinks I’m still as naive as I was back then. But I won’t listen to her, Xu Cheng. I won’t kill you."

"But I..." Xu Cheng opened her mouth, "But how can I go home?"

"Home?" Shallow Dream pursed her lips, "..."

"My home—my home is in Shangjing, but if Farosa wants my life, how can I go back?" Xu Cheng asked.

"Little Gua!" Bubble couldn’t listen anymore, "Don’t go back to Shangjing!"

"Don’t go back to Shangjing?" Xu Cheng held her breath.

Bubble grabbed Xu Cheng’s hand, not knowing herself why she did so.

"Farosa wants you dead, Xu Yang doesn’t want you. But there are other places you can call home! Return to Netanya, the Big-Chined Duke will give us a place to live; go to Sevaburg, we can build with the locals; return to the Village of Budan, we can build a cottage on the snowy mountain; even go to Jialong Slope, and Chishiki will surely take us in... Why return to Shangjing?" Bubble said softly.

"There’s also the Seven Hills. Once we conquer it, you can live with us there." Shallow Dream said passionately.

Xu Cheng took a deep breath.

Farosa could kill her effortlessly, but Farosa wants to torment Xu Cheng, bully her, force her on this journey over thousands of miles.

Why is this damned Farosa still alive? And why should she let herself be manipulated?

"Alright." Xu Cheng nodded coolly, "I won’t go back to Shangjing."

"So, you’re going to live with me?" Bubble’s eyes lit up.

Xu Cheng smiled, gripping Bubble’s hand tightly.

"Yes! I’m not going back; we’ll live together in a distant place, it’ll be just fine!" Xu Cheng said happily.

By now, it was already noon, the sun’s power especially intense. Shallow Dream looked up at the sky, the blazing sun shining over the Seven Hills.

"No matter what, we should get going, to rescue the Seven Hills from the vampires, to reclaim the homeland for the Italians! With your help now, there’s no better day than today." Shallow Dream stepped forward.

Suddenly they noticed, Aslimos also stepped forward.

"You..." Xu Cheng turned her head, "Uncle, weren’t you just watching from the sidelines?"

"Yes, I intended to confront Farosa here," Aslimos said. "I can never befriend Farosa. But I heard your conversation, knowing how vicious Farosa is, not even sparing such young kids, I’m moved by sympathy for you and couldn’t just watch. I’ve decided to clear a path for you! Moreover, one day, I might die at Farosa’s hands, this is the last thing I can do while I’m still alive."

"...Thank you." On behalf of everyone, Shallow Dream nodded to Aslimos.

Other Italian soldiers rushed over, recognizing Aslimos’ heroics only through ancient books, murals, and ceramics. He was the native demigod of the Taixi Continent, revered as a symbol of war in ancient times.

Aslimos stood outside Seven Hills City. At this moment, to repel the invaders, the vampires were casting spells in the open sun, a dark canopy gradually forming, transforming into a barrier, enveloping the city in darkness.

The dark canopy continued to gather, a giant pillar rose from the vacant center of the city.

"They face the sun, wielding power towards the sky!" Shallow Dream said, "Reckless..."

Xu Cheng and Shallow Dream watched worriedly. If let Dagon continue his manipulation, people could never enter the Seven Hills, for the vampires would thrive in the darkness, turning everyone into food and slaves.

Only Aslimos stepped forward, staring at the canopy hindering access.

"Look—that’s the ’Blood Ancestor’ Dagon’s power, the blood of all bloods, the ancient chieftain of the vampires. Those of comparable strength and ancient lineage with him have been forgotten over time, only Dagon remains in these Seven Hills. I will strike three times with my spear, surely to heavily wound, weaken Dagon, so that mortals can cut him down." Aslimos proclaimed loudly.

Immediately, amid all gazes, Aslimos raised his spear high, fiercely flashing it towards Seven Hills City.

Boom! The first strike, a golden lightning tore through the canopy, leaving a blood-red crevice on the dark barrier.

Boom! The second strike, the wind howled as lightning struck the same crevice, dissolving the chaotic power, emptied out.

Boom! The third strike, the spear shot like a meteor into the heart of the dark canopy, the barrier roared thunderously, like the dying scream of a beast.

The dark canopy dispersed into layers of misty haze, the remnants turned to flying ash. Sunlight streamed into the Seven Hills, vampires had nowhere to hide, fleeing from the rays and flames.

"The path is open! Humans and witches! March forward!" Aslimos shouted, "The vampires of the Taixi Continent will be destroyed in this war, and your exploits will be forever remembered!"
