141 Victories and Strength
Upon hearing Nila's words, Nedeli subconsciously narrowed her eyes. Although she didn't speak, the hair on the back of her neck silently stood on end.
Yuan Chen didn't react much to this, but instead raised his hand with a smile and shouted:
Hey! I'm here! I'm fine! How about you?
"Haha! Of course I'm awesome too!"
Nila's voice was filled with joyful laughter as she sped across the water as if flying. In the instant of her sudden acceleration, the giant dragon Kah'Mu, which she was dragging behind, also splashed up huge waves on the sea.
Watching the two chatting so happily, Nedeli raised an eyebrow.
When she first heard Nila address Yuan Chen, she instinctively felt a little wary.
But now, after regaining her senses and sensing the familiarity in their conversation, Nedeli unexpectedly felt a little bored...
As a wild animal, Nedeli was very familiar with this feeling... the intimacy between kin, or even among companions.
Thinking this, Nedeli couldn't help but glance at Yuan Chen a couple of times.
It's not a question of whether he can or can't, but whether he wants to. This guy seems to be able to quickly become friends with everyone wherever he goes...
Thinking it over, Nedeli relaxed nonchalantly. But not long after relaxing, she frowned again.
Looking back, or more precisely, at the back of his neck, his expression was slightly suspicious...
Am I nervous?
Why?
Thinking about it, Nedeli shook her head in confusion.
Every time I run into Yuan Chen, I feel uneasy all over; it's completely inexplicable.
Just as Nedeli was still thinking, with the sudden increase in speed, Nila was standing on the water with a lithe figure, also let out a hearty laugh. Then, with a light touch of her toes, she leaped into the water, her graceful body swirling around.
As the Flowing Water whip sword, which had been stretching its sides to its limit, reached its limit, it suddenly swung its arm.
The next moment, the enormous corpse of the progenitor Kah'Mu, was pulled out of the water, accompanied by a surge of blue Flowing Water. Including the underwater portion, the dragon corpse, at least three thousand to four thousand meters long, was thrown directly into the air by Nila.
I'll blanch it!
Upon seeing the approaching dragon corpse, even Yuan Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
It's no exaggeration to say that the feeling of that enormous dragon corpse flying towards you was truly no different from the end of the world.
Under its shadow, and feeling the lingering Dragon Might emanating from the corpse, Yuan Chen could clearly feel his body groaning silently from within!
Strengthened by bathing in the blood of the Flame Drake's Dragon Heart Blood, Yuan Chen believed that, under normal circumstances, excluding special individuals like Nila and Ryze, his resistance to mental suppression should be among the best.
But even now, just the residual aura emanating from Kah'Mu's corpse was enough to make Yuan Chen feel immense pressure...
Located within, the heart feels as if it's bound with a steel ingot, so heavy it can't beat. And the capillaries in the body begin to swell, squeeze, and burst from their tiny ends.
Rumble!
The enormous corpse of Kah'Mu crashed into the side of the mountain wall, the heavy impact instantly shattering the wall, breaking trees, and scattering rocks. Landslide debris mixed with soil fell into the sea, and for a moment the sounds of fleeing animals filled the air.
Nila's brutal behavior made Nedeli frown, and the next moment, as if sensing something, Nila lashed out with her whip once more.
Immediately afterwards, the sea, which was surging with waves due to the storm, seemed to receive some command, and gentle waves lightly caught the animals that had fallen into the water, and gently pushed them towards the shore.
The falling stones were simply shattered into dust by the water-like whip, leaving only dirt on the body.
Without the massive corpse of Kah'Mu as a hindrance, Nila's speed was further enhanced.
And so, she landed on the water's surface once more, her toes barely touching the ground. A gentle ripple spread outwards, and then Nila shot through the air with a whoosh, gracefully landing in front of the two of them, spinning around.
"Don't be sad! Don't be worried! And definitely don't be angry!"
With a beaming smile, Nila offered her face to Nedeli, her words tinged with an unnatural excitement:
Behind every smile lies immense power! Only joy can dispel fear and defy all evil!
Without waiting for Nedeli's reaction, Nila clasped her hands together and began to pray softly with a hint of piety in her eyes.
Seeing Nila's actions, Nedeli opened her mouth, but in the end, she only silently looked at Yuan Chen beside her.
Are all you demons so easily startled?
Having understood the meaning Nedeli was trying to convey through her brows, Yuan Chen shook his head helplessly.
Nila has always been like this...
Based on Yuan Chen's occasional conversations with Nila over the past period, Yuan Chen can confirm that Nila has now suppressed Oshirresh's will and sealed it in the pot at her waist.
However, Oshirresh did not lose all his power; instead, he continued to try to break free.
Therefore, Nila needed to reinforce the seal on the pot through prayer.
This includes the spoils of the hunt, except for those obtained to satisfy one's own desires or to fulfill the contract with Oshirresh.
The materials from these powerful creatures can greatly suppress Oshirresh's craving for flesh.
While Nila was praying, Yuan Chen also spoke to Nedeli:
"Don't underestimate Nila just because she looks human... Aside from this progenitor of all dragons in Camavor, she has hunted and will hunt many more monsters."
"The Dawn Bringer's power is indeed formidable... but in your current state, you are probably no match for Nila."
Upon hearing this, Nedeli remained silent, glancing at Nila with some suspicion but offering no further comment.
Although Nila was strong, Nedeli felt that once she fully mastered the power of the Dawn Bringer, she might be able to defeat the woman before her...
But that's highly unlikely.
Based on paper records, aside from primordial spirits like Cosmic Dragon King who originated from the Immortal Heaven, the upper limit for Runeterra is only demigod level.
The records show that at least three high-ranking demigods were killed by Nila...
The unique nature of Runeterra means that, apart from Cosmic Dragon King and Aurelion Sol's relatives, only Aurelion Sol can actually descend in his true form.
Other higher life forms, celestial beings, even Aspects, must reduce their power to the level of a demigod before they can descend...
Soraka, the Star Child, is the best example of this.
The Dawn Bringer is indeed powerful, but the waters of Runeterra are not shallow either.
