Chapter 137: End of Chaotic Battle
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The converging moons still hung in the night sky, but for some reason, they had turned deep red. It was as if the moon had been filled with blood, which looked both treacherous and beautiful. Bathing in the crimson moonlight, everyone suddenly had goosebumps.
Xiao Lin gulped. It was his first time in the New World and his first Single Moon Festival. When he saw the blood red moon, he consoled himself, thinking it might just be a regular occurrence during the Single Moon Festival. However, the moment he looked at the horrified expressions on everyone else, he knew that it was not true.
In the blood red skies, the sounds of dragon-eagles could be heard in the distance skies. They could vaguely make out a few teams of dragon-eagle knights currently engaged in battle with some skeletal creatures. It was obvious that the chaos in the palace was only a part of what was happening.
“Stop dreaming! We need to get out first!” Pamela sobered up quickly before shouting at everyone else.
Even though the skeletal soldiers in the hall did not pursue them, there were a lot more skeletons outside the palace than they anticipated, and all of them were trying to get inside. Xiao Lin and the others had not escaped from trouble just yet.

“Get into formation! Charge!” As the vice-captain of the dragon-eagle knights, Pamela was the de facto leader of this team. She calmly and quickly started giving out orders.
She and the other melee combatants surrounded everyone else in a bell-shaped formation. Their silver armors had various complicated markings, and were somehow still unharmed despite being hit by so many skeletons earlier, so it was good that they formed the first defensive line. In the middle of that formation was Professor Brown, Xiao Lin, Lolander and the others. Pamela did not force them to help, possibly because she was very confident in her own skills.
Even though they were unable to completely wipe out such a large number of skeletons, Pamela felt that escorting that group out to safety was not a problem.
Of course, a large part of that belief was due to her faith in Lilith’s abilities. She was very clear on how important Lilith was to Judge Academy, and would not easily put her in harm’s way. However, it was not like she was going to leave such a strong fighting force unused.
After leaving the palace, Lilith once again slashed her battle scythe around.
The blazing flame lotuses were even more beautiful under the blood moon. With Lilith carving the path ahead, the rest of them had a much easier time, but Xiao Lin could not shake his uneasy feeling. He felt like the skeletal soldiers were not really fighting them earnestly, but were only trying to prevent them from heading back to the palace.
“Everyone, don’t worry. The dragon-eagle knights will be here very soon. These skeletal soldiers only have numbers on their side, but they are nothing compared to us!” Pamela consoled Lolander. As someone from the American Judge Academy, she did not want the other academies to have any reason to look down on them.
It seemed that she was speaking the truth. Looking at the vague and blurry battle in the distance, the dragon-eagle knights were not holding back as much as when they fought the giant golden dragon half a month ago. The full force of the dragon-eagle knights really deserved to be called America’s greatest unit. The fight in the skies lasted a little over ten minutes before basically coming to an end. Those creatures had been mostly defeated and were rendered to skeletal dust in mid-air.

Xiao Lin let out a relieved sigh; part of his worries were resolved. He slowly moved his hand away from the Lightstream Jade that he had been holding onto for most of the night. It was his final defense. If Lilith and Pamela’s men could not hold on, he would have had to use the Lightstream Jade and release the giant golden dragon’s illusory dragon. However, no one knew how much draconic power was within the jade, so it was better to use it sparingly.
Possibly because the blood moon caused the atmosphere to be thick with tension, not one spoke too much. Everyone was trying to get out as soon as possible. They made pretty good time, and after a few minutes, they were already at the gates of the courtyard outside the palace.
The courtyard had a desolate and bleak feel to it. No one knew why before, but now, everyone realized it was because they were basically on a gigantic burial ground.
At that moment, a muffled rumble came from within the palace. Streaks of white light began to shoot out from the rundown building, and the entire roof of the palace blasted away. The white light quickly gathered together, forming an even brighter light. It looked like the sun, enveloping the entire sky of the castle district in bright light, even enveloping Xiao Lin and the other’s within.
Everyone could not help but shudder. The white light was extremely cold, chilling them to the bone. The good news was that the skeletons had stopped moving the moment the light appeared, so seizing the opportunity, they quickened their pace, but the light spread much faster than they could run.
The beam of light rapidly extended to the horizon, and in the blink of an eye, it connected with the blood moon. In the chaos, Xiao Lin seemed to notice that, within the blood moon, something seemed to have been opened. His heart started beating heavily as his right hand once again gripped the Lightstream Jade.
“Hahaha! You evil demons! Today will be your reckoning!”
Norn’s figure once again emerged with the rumbling. He floated in the air as he looked at all of New Washington City. A wild and crazed look appeared on his face, as if he was filled with happiness and excitement after completing his task. He spread his arms, shouting, “I’ve waited for this for way too long! Open now! Dark Gate of Doomsday!”
The shout reverberated in the air and the white light suddenly became more intense and cold. Everyone had to shut their eyes, and the rapidly decreasing temperature caused frost to begin forming on their clothes.
A strong and intense surge of energy came from within the palace, pouring out like an avalanche. The energy felt indescribable… Chaos, cold, panic, death…
In a few short seconds, Xiao Lin suddenly felt like he had stepped into hell. He was like a small raft in the torrential seas, and could be toppled over and drowned by the tides at any time. At that point, he did not care about saving the draconic power. He hoisted up his Lightstream Jade. Thanks to the self-defense mechanism, when the jade felt the torrential energies surrounding him, the golden illusory dragon once again soared in the skies.
That was his last line of defense. No matter what the surge of energy meant, if even the giant golden dragon could not protect him, then Xiao Lin was probably going to die there.
He really should not have gone to New Washington.
That was the last thought that went through Xiao Lin’s mind in all the confusion.
