Chapter 548 Valentina Feels Very Wronged (Bonus Chapter 310 for 6K Views!)
Not long ago, Eldar received an uninvited guest.

It was a giant squirrel, about half the height of a person, with pure white fur, and it looked very cute.

Its fur is not snow-white, but a warm milky white that gleams softly in the rising sun.

What is most amazing is its eyes, which are like two carefully polished obsidian stones, deep and clear, without any of the ignorance and ferocity of ordinary wild beasts.

It sat gracefully in front of the territory gate, like a nobleman, with its front paws gently clasped together.

This peculiar squirrel calls itself the "Guardian of the Sacred Tree" and claims to be a friend of Lord Herbert.

Since he was the lord's friend, the guards seemed to have no reason to stop him.

But the guard captain, Sophia, hesitated.

Driven by some lingering instinct within her soul, she sensed the difference in strength between herself and the adorable squirrel before her.

When her gaze met the squirrel's pure eyes, her back involuntarily tensed, as if her instincts were frantically warning her.

An invisible sense of oppression would rise in the centaur lady's heart, as if she were facing not a small animal, but a towering tree, and that hidden power would send chills down her spine.

Although it's not obvious from his appearance, he is a true powerhouse.

Its power likely surpasses that of most beings Sophia has ever seen, including several "mistresses" within the territory known for their strength.

Moreover, they are powerful beings who have emerged from the depths of the Misty Mountains, making them extremely dangerous.

Deep within the Misty Mountains lies an area that even gods must tread with caution when exploring.

Especially as residents of the Misty Mountains, they are even more aware of the terrifying beings that exist there.

Any creature that emerges from there, regardless of its appearance, should not be underestimated.

But the other party seems to genuinely have good intentions.

This was precisely what made Sophia hesitate.

From the moment they appeared until now, the guardians of the sacred tree have not shown the slightest hostility, but rather have been relaxed as they survey the territory of Eldar.

The squirrel showed no aggression whatsoever. Instead, it tilted its head slightly towards the nervous Sophia, a gentle smile playing on its lips.

The squirrel didn't even come empty-handed; seemingly out of politeness, it carried a basket of dried pine nuts as a gift.

The small basket woven from thin vines hung perfectly on its back, and every pine nut inside was unusually plump, emitting a strange sweetness.

The fragrance wasn't strong, but it was exceptionally clear, containing the scent of pure life energy. It gently wafted out, instantly invigorating those who smelled it, as if their fatigue had been somewhat dispelled.

Sophia didn't know the variety of those pine nuts, but she could tell that they contained a huge amount of energy.

According to the knowledgeable mushroom merchant Misser, these pine nuts could be exchanged for an equivalent weight of legendary magical materials elsewhere!
Misser even speculated that it was the fruit of an epic pine tree, its value of which was self-evident.

Because of the other party's friendly attitude and their clearly extraordinary strength, Sophia decided after much deliberation to allow them to enter her territory.

After weighing the pros and cons, Sophia realized that any disrespect or obstruction would be foolish and dangerous in the face of a being that might possess epic-level power and was actively expressing goodwill.

The best course of action is to meet their demands and, at the same time, notify Lord Herbert as soon as possible.

Since you can't stop them from forcing their way in anyway, you might as well let them in, which would leave room for maneuver.

After entering the territory, the squirrel did not show any arrogance of a strong person. Instead, it greeted the residents in a very friendly manner and allowed them to touch its snow-white tail.

The scene appeared harmonious from any perspective, but Sophia, as the head of the guards, was not entirely at ease.

We still need to report this matter to Lord Herbert.

She took a deep breath and reached out to touch her chest—there lay a palm-sized shard of mirror, its edges inlaid with silver patterns, which Lord Herbert had given her before he left last time.

Previously, she had no way to directly contact Lord Herbert except through prayer, but with this mirror, she could now do so.

However, just before Sophia secretly removed the mirror shard from her chest and prepared to contact Herbert to report the matter, a new development made her temporarily change her mind.

Ripples spread across the pool in the center of Elda, and a figure flew out from it.

The lady of the land happened to arrive.

It is Lady Valentina.

Her long, red hair, like burning flames, swung vigorously above the water, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Valentina, an epic dragon, is considered by the residents of Eldar to be the strongest warrior after Lord Herbert. Her appearance brought a sense of relief to Sophia.

With Lady Valentina present, the territory is better equipped to respond to unexpected dangers.

Sophia put away the mirror shards and decided to observe the situation first.

Perhaps, if Lady Valentina can handle it well, there's no need to alarm Lord Herbert.

Valentina quickly sensed the presence of the Guardian of the Sacred Tree after arriving in Elda, and keenly perceived its power.

Her vertical pupils contracted slightly, and her gaze pierced through the crowd, precisely locking onto the giant white squirrel.

The relaxed and carefree look in Miss Hungry Dragon's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by solemnity, scrutiny, and a hint of instinctive displeasure at having her territory intruded upon.

She could sense that this seemingly furry creature, whose fur looked so soft to the touch, possessed a terrifying power within it.

It is common knowledge that when two powerful creatures meet in one another's territory, a fierce conflict is bound to break out.

This is an instinct ingrained in the bloodlines of many powerful creatures, especially for dragons with a strong sense of territory; an uninvited guest is undoubtedly a provocation.

As expected, a conflict ensued.

However, the anticipated magical clash or hand-to-hand combat did not occur.

It's unclear what consensus these two reached, but instead of resorting to violence, they chose a different approach that seemed puzzling to others.

Valentina stopped about five steps away from the squirrel, crossed her arms, and looked it up and down.

The guardian of the sacred tree also raised its head, its obsidian-like eyes calmly looking back, its large tail swaying gently behind it.

Aside from eye contact, the two did not exchange any words, but they seemed to understand each other.

They stared at each other in silence for a moment, an invisible pressure filling the air.

Valentina seemed to have made the first judgment. She lowered her arms, which she had been crossing over her chest, and a look of curiosity and resentment crossed her face.

She walked towards the other person, extended her right hand, and then the squirrel also reached out.

After that, the two of them remained in that position without moving.

They stood there, like two frozen statues.

Only the slightly sunken ground beneath his feet and the slight trembling of his arms silently suggested that things were not as calm as they appeared.

That's right.

Two powerful creatures with berserk strength chose to compete using the most primitive method of physical combat.

They were—breaking! Hands! Wrists!

This conclusion took Sophia by surprise. She had imagined all sorts of earth-shattering battle scenes, but she never expected it to unfold in such a childish way.

But soon, the centaur lady realized the meaning behind this "child's play".

This is the purest contest of strength, abandoning skills, magic, and external objects; it is the most direct and savage dialogue between the strong.

Moreover, the squirrel's identity is unknown, but it has shown friendliness, and it is very likely that it really is Herbert's friend.

If they were to actually fight, it might damage their relationship. A simple arm wrestling match would not only determine a winner but also prevent any harm to their feelings.

awesome!
Indeed, Lady Valentina must have considered this matter carefully before choosing this method.

After Sophia's explanation, the residents of Elda, who were initially panicked, calmed down and watched the two compete from a distance, occasionally whispering among themselves.

Since there was no world-destroying magic or bloody carnage, the residents' fear was greatly reduced, replaced by intense curiosity.

They gathered in small groups at a safe distance, standing on tiptoe and craning their necks to watch this unprecedented contest.

"Lady Valentina, just now, were you... pushed into the ground?"

Not long ago, Lady Valentina seemed to have disappeared for a moment.

We don't know exactly what happened, but there was a hole next to her and she was covered in dirt.

It seems... Lady Valentina just decided to dig a hole on a whim.

"Uh, shh, don't talk about it, just pretend you didn't see it... cough!"

The person next to her immediately gave a tense reminder, while secretly glancing in Valentina's direction, afraid that she might hear them.

After all, everyone knows that although this dragon appears obedient in front of Lord Herbert, dragons are not always so docile.

"……Well!"

Valentina's originally fair cheeks were now flushed red, like ripe apples, and tiny scarlet scales could even be faintly seen on her forehead and neck.

She bit her lower lip tightly, her vertical pupils filled with disbelief and a stubborn struggle.

The two young priestesses, who were talking, silently looked away, unable to bear to see Lady Valentina's expression.

Poor thing, his face turned red from holding it in!

Then look at the squirrel on the other side, hmm, it's a completely different style.

"This squirrel is really amazing! Oh, and I even touched its tail just now, and it didn't get angry at all..."

"Oh, you touched it too? I secretly touched it too, it feels really good!"

Even during a break in the competition, the guardian of the sacred tree was still distracted. It seemed to have heard this calm, and even leisurely stroked its beautiful tail with its other paw.

It even had time to turn its head and wink at the two girls who were talking about its tail, letting out a relaxed, slightly smug hum.

It was as if wrestling with an epic dragon was just a fun game for it.

"Huha~"

It hummed smugly, the hum carrying a relaxed nasal tone, and leisurely increased its intensity slightly.

While some are happy, others are naturally worried.

The result before her eyes made Sophia's heart sink again. She subconsciously touched the cold shards of mirror in her arms, thinking about what to do.

Ultimately, she felt that the situation should be reported to Herbert's people as soon as possible.

But just before Miss Centaur could report, her expression changed slightly, and she silently put away the shards of the mirror.

The one who was most angry and incredulous was naturally Valentina.

As the dragon involved, the subject of much discussion and sympathy... Valentina felt her worldview crumble.

She, the great Valentina Demonflame, an epic dragon, the embodiment of power, and Herbert's top henchman (self-proclaimed), was actually suppressed by a squirrel in a pure contest of strength?
This was even harder for her to accept than the fact that she was the only illiterate person in the juvenile detention center!
"This is impossible!"

Her cheeks puffed out as she squeezed out the words through clenched teeth, beads of sweat glistening on her forehead from the effort, her eyes filled with confusion.

Miss Hungry Dragon, who had ruled the world with brute force, had finally met her match today.

Looking back, no matter what enemy she faced, she would either swat them with a claw or unleash a breath of dragon's breath. If that didn't work, she'd try again. Strength had always been her most trusted and proudest asset.

As a special being among the dragons, she has never suffered a loss in terms of physical strength since childhood, not even once.

She recalled her childhood days when she could easily overturn adult dragons, and those battles where she crushed them with her physical strength.

quack!
This is impossible!

Even though the archbishop was powerful and had instilled psychological trauma in her, he had never made her suffer a defeat in terms of pure power.

but now……

How could an adorable squirrel outmuscle itself?

Is this right?
The question echoed wildly in her mind, almost drowning out the pressure coming from her arm.

"Hmph hmph ha! Ugh ahhhh!!!"

Valentina let out a low growl of resentment, her muscles tensing, and the ground beneath her feet cracked with fine lines as she exerted force once more.

She was serious.

He began frantically activating the power within his body, attempting to turn the tide.

The crimson dragon scale phantoms became clearer on her skin, and even a trace of scorching heat emanated from her body, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.

Unfortunately, Miss Hungry Dragon's grand gesture had little practical effect, only slightly altering the stalemate and making a small breakthrough.

"Huhao?"

After the crisis, the demigod squirrel glanced at Valentina with considerable surprise, then became slightly more serious and tightened its grip on her arm.

Then, the slight advantage that had been painstakingly regained was easily pushed back by the squirrel.

When the difference in strength is too great, even unleashing one's inner power is futile.

The exaggerated result made Valentina feel dizzy and she clenched her teeth tightly.

"Hmm hmm hmm—"

What Valentina didn't know was that the seemingly harmless squirrel in front of her was actually a genuine demigod.

Moreover, he is a demigod who purely strengthens his physical body.

It drinks the morning dew from the sacred tree, eats the essence of the sacred tree's fruit, and breathes the purest life energy.

Over the long years, this guardian of the sacred tree has honed every inch of its flesh and every hair to perfection.

This demigod squirrel is not only powerful in terms of physical strength, but most importantly, it also possesses a [Power] domain when it attacks.

This is a force that is almost a rule.

When it intends to exert its power, the concept of "power" will be strengthened and dominated within a certain range centered on it.

Within this domain, its power is almost absolutely amplified, while the opponent's power is suppressed and weakened invisibly, unless the opponent also possesses domain power of the same or higher level to counter it.

Although Valentina was unaware, from the moment they began to fight, an invisible but heavy aura emanated from their clasped hands, making onlookers in the distance feel extremely oppressed.

With the combination of physical strength and power domain, it's perfectly normal that Valentina, relying solely on brute force, is no match for her.

In particular, Valentina, in her current human form, is far from being able to unleash the power she possesses in her true form.

But is that really the only way?

Is this really how we have to admit defeat?
"what……"

Valentina sighed, feeling stifled, and exhaled a scalding hot breath, causing flames to rise from the surrounding grass.

Valentina, who had been happy every day since meeting Herbert, is now a little unhappy.

She was furious.

And so, the [Raging One] descended upon us after a long absence.

At this moment, the demigod squirrel, unaware of the problem, spoke up first: "I said, how much longer are we going to keep arguing? Why don't you just admit defeat? I didn't come here to argue with you... um?"

But halfway through its sentence, it caught sight of the dragon's blood-red eyes, and its heart skipped a beat.

Wait, something's wrong!
"Hey! What do you want to do?"

As the great guardian of the sacred tree, it was not worried about the power that the other party would suddenly unleash after going berserk.

Oh, it's erupted?
But the problem is, how strong can you really be?
But it is now really worried that the other party will destroy Elda in a berserk state.

I came here to ask Herbert for help, not to make an enemy!
"Hey! Wake up!"

It hurriedly increased its power, trying to subdue Valentina directly.

However, it failed.

"what?"

The power that had previously been able to easily suppress Valentina suddenly became ineffective.

In her rage, Valentina's power was rapidly approaching that of the one controlling the power domain!
At this moment, Valentina had even touched the edge of the power realm, and with just a little manipulation, she could completely master this power.

But Valentina doesn't have that kind of time right now.

Now, all she can think about is victory.

win!
We absolutely have to beat this guy!

"Hey! If you don't calm down, I'm going to get serious!"

The guardian of the sacred tree shouted warnings, trying to bring the other party back to their senses, while gathering their strength, preparing to unleash their full power once the other party had completely gone mad.

The latter might hurt the other party, but it can barely keep the situation under control.

However, the demigod squirrel was clearly overthinking it.

Valentina wasn't that crazy.

Just when things were about to completely collapse, Miss Hungry Dragon suddenly woke up without anyone noticing.

"Um!!?"

Do not!
no! ! !

This is the home she and Herbert built together, how could she destroy it with her own hands?!?
Realizing what had happened, Valentina quickly suppressed her aura and tried to reclaim the power that had dissipated.

Even so, it still released a powerful aftershock, with scorching dragon flames spreading in all directions.

"don't want--"

Just as the flames were about to engulf the surrounding wooden houses, the lake water suddenly rose up and quickly vaporized in mid-air, turning into layers of ice crystals that stopped the fire from spreading.

While these measures couldn't completely stop the fire, they did give Valentina a chance to extinguish it.

Suck--

After successfully extinguishing the flames, Valentina finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew... Ouch!"

As soon as she relaxed, Valentina felt a light tap on the top of her head.

Boom!
Who hit me?

Herbert ignored Valentina's complaints, removed his fist from her head, and scoffed, "Don't you want to see what you were doing just now?"

After watching the commotion for a while, Herbert finally appeared and knocked on the head of this impulsive and silly dragon girl.

When Valentina saw that the assailant who pounded her head was Herbert, she didn't defend herself. Instead, she blinked quickly, and then...

As if she had finally found someone to lean on, she hugged Herbert's waist tightly and buried her head in his arms, looking very aggrieved.

"Well!"

This scene surprised not only the demigod squirrel on the other side and the other onlookers, but even Herbert himself hadn't expected it.

He looked pitiful, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"..."

Just as Herbert was carefully analyzing whether the water that had soaked his waist was tears or saliva, Valentina regained her composure and let go of his hand.

He quickly ran behind Herbert, hugged Herbert's waist, and peeked out from under his arm, baring his teeth at the demigod squirrel in a show of bravado.

It's her! It's her! It's her!
She's the one who bullied me just now!

Herbert fell silent after realizing what Valentina was doing, his lips twitching slightly.

"Uh……"

Meanwhile, the demigod squirrel, who was being stared at, was completely bewildered.

"Um... ah?"

What's the meaning? ? ?
What are you doing!
Weren't you so fierce and ruthless just now?

Why are you acting like you've been bullied now?

Who bullied you?

No, why are you breathing on me?
me?

The innocent guardians of the sacred tree had never encountered anything like this before, and felt that something was wrong with this world.

Just as it was feeling lost, it heard Herbert's words.

"Please don't bully my child."

???

"Yes, she's still a child."

Herbert said to the demigod squirrel with a serious expression, "Why are you, an adult, getting angry with her?"

"Apologize to my child right now!"

"Otherwise, I might... Pfft! Cough cough! I can't keep up this act anymore, haha!"

???

The demigod squirrel looked at Herbert, who couldn't help but laugh, and then at Valentina behind him, who was pouting pitifully, and couldn't help but roll its eyes.

No!

Are you two crazy?!
