The Unsurpassed Maiden - Chapter 159

The clock tower looks so much bigger up close, Mi Young noticed. She looks to her side to check out for some enemies, when she realizes the coast is clear, the black haired girl proceeds inside.

Everything inside the clock tower mesmerized the black haired girl, from its ceiling down to its floor, everything about it just makes Mi Young’s mind go haywire.

Despite the chaos happening outside, Mi Young had the heart to casually walk inside the clock tower as if she wasn’t in a desperate situation. She doesn’t know what’s happening to her but she’s definitely sure it was the clock tower’s fault.

“Mi Young, stop gawking at everything you see and focus on your mission!” The black haired student says while pinching her cheeks to make herself forget how beautiful the tower is.

After that, the young girl immediately went back to searching for a way in order to get up to the highest point of the tower. When she rounds the corner she is met with two medium sized beasts who are both fighting for a dismantled body.

Mi Young went to hide behind the pillar to hide herself from the two beasts. When images of the dismantled body flashed into her mind, the black haired girl held her stomach and covered her mouth to stop herself from vomiting. She might have seen a lot of dead bodies before but seeing two beasts fight over who’s going to get the body, Mi Young felt sick to her core.

The two beasts began to fight, forgetting about the dead body for a minute just to prove the other who’s better and stronger between them. Mi Young used this opportunity to run across them and use the stairs that would lead her upstairs.

She knows she could have used the lift but she realized she will just use it on the second floor of the clock tower seeing as the lift’s entrance was just where the beasts are fighting.

Mi Young runs as fast as she can in order to get upstairs without the beasts noticing her movement. When she managed to arrive on the second floor, she let out a sigh of relief. “I f*cking hate jobs like this.”

However, the moment she took a step forward to walk towards the lift which was located just across from her, a huge growl echoed all throughout the empty corridor.

When Mi Young looked to her side, she came face to face with no other than a giant Bearded Dragon. Mi Young gulped as she meets the beasts eyes, “Oh sh*t.”

“Before we proceed, may I know if you’re familiar with ancient transportation?” Zhong Liu asked the young man who was walking closely behind him.

Se Heon’s face scrunches for a bit while the boy thinks about the teacher’s question. When he realized he couldn’t find any answer, he just shook his head while looking at the teacher with a confused look. “No. What do you mean?”

Zhong Liu had a wicked glint on his eyes as he faced the other party fully. He clasps his hands before smiling at the boy as he says, “Well now, you’ll be familiar with it.”

Se Heon didn’t even have enough time to react to the other party before four huge pillars surrounded them both. The student was about to ask the teacher what was happening but the moment he opened his mouth, Zhong Liu started chanting words he cannot entirely understand.

When Se Heon finally realized what was happening, he was too late to say something. And in a blink of an eye, the two of them vanished, leaving only the lonely tree that was standing at the top of the hill where the two males were standing just a few seconds ago.

Mi Young runs as fast as she can to avoid the beast’s attacks. She was lucky that the beast was a little slower than what she had expected or she would have been dead meat by now if it weren’t for her fast reflexes.

When the giant Bearded Dragon started throwing fireballs at her, Mi Young knew she couldn’t do anything but to fire back. So with a long and deep sigh, the black haired girl instantly made hand movements to call out her Hydro abilities. Immediately, water balls started forming on her hands.

The black haired student didn’t waste any more of her breath before she started firing water balls back at the Bearded Dragon. At first, the beast look confused because a single water bomb hit it right on the face. However, the moment it felt the sting that comes after getting hit with the Mage’s water bomb, the beast immediately started getting a lot more aggressive.

Mi Young learned this technique from Soo Young’s dairy, the one she gave to her the moment Mi Young and Se Heon went back to their own timeline. Mi Young practiced this technique at first thinking that it would just gave her the power to produce water from nothing into her own hands. She thought she could use it in order to water her plants without using a watering can. However, when she poured some water bomb on her plants, a few second passed by and the plant started to wither.

The black haired girl thought that the problem was because of the plant, but after putting on water bombs on to two other plants, the young girl immediately realized that it was of her water bombs that’s why the plants were starting to wither.

The young Mage panicked when she realized what she had done but good thing she was able to control her shaking hands or else her Hydro mana would have gone berserk. Mi Young shivered while she thinks of the possibilities that could have happened if she wasn’t able to control herself and her mana.

Thinking about it now, an idea came rushing into her mind.

Mi Young knows that it would be dangerous but she has no other choice. The Bearded Dragon was blocking her way and its body is too huge to find and escape with so the only thing she can do is either jump from the window and risk the chances of being caught by other beasts outside, or make her mana go berserk until the Bearded Dragon will be overwhelmed with her water bombs.

So the young girl decided to choose the latter idea.

Mi Young drew out a large sum of oxygen before exhaling it slowly. She looks up and sees the Bearded Dragon closing in on her. So the young girl opted to sit crossed-legged at the center of the empty hallway. She adjusts her position into a more comfortable one and closes her eyes. She just needs to wait for the right timing so she can execute her plan successfully.

The black haired girl steadies her breathing at first before she draws out her Hydro mana but not fully letting go of them. Then, she started thinking of some scenarios that could make her panic. Mi Young started thinking of getting trapped inside this chaotic world forever. She thought about her friends in the academy and what could happen to them if an all-out war breaks out without them knowing. Mi Young thinks about the people who will forever be trapped inside the sanctuary they have made. She started thinking about Se Heon who will never get to open his eyes and see her once more. And then she thinks about her father who was waiting for her to come home.

When the young girl felt the Bearded Dragon slowly approaching her in huge strides, she waited patiently for it to cross the sign she had put on earlier. The moment the beast crosses the line just a few feet away from the young girl, Mi Young immediately opened her eyes and she fires water bombs after water bombs towards the unsuspecting beast.

At first the beast was taken by surprise by the sudden attack but as each water bomb explodes on its scales and the sting after getting hit by it increases as each water bomb explodes, the Bearded Dragon started to wail in agony.

Mi Young never knew how painful her water bombs are but she knew it felt like poison mixed with acid burning the skins and scales of her enemies or whoever gets to hit by it. She can manage to feel their pain just by looking and hearing them wail in agony.

The black haired girl didn’t stop firing and making her Hydro mana go berserk even though the Bearded Dragon was already starting to retreat. However, its big body wasn’t enough to fit on the exit so instead of escaping, half of its body was stuck inside the area where Mi Young was and the other was stuck outside.

Knowing that she might get in more trouble if the Bearded Dragon gets out, the black haired girl finally decided to just end the beast’s life in her own hands.

With a deep breath, Mi Young calls her Hydro mana and makes a huge water bomb before catching the beast and enclosing it inside.. She sees the Bearded Dragon trying to get away from the water bomb but with the pain of the poisonous liquid as well as the lack of oxygen, the Bearded Dragon finally drew out its last breath before it disintegrated into dust.
