The ground trembled violently, the bowls and plates on the table jumped up, and the earthenware pot made a dull thud.

Without thinking twice, the girl's father scooped up his daughter and held her in his arms, while grabbing his wife with his other hand, and stumbled toward the door.

"Earthquake! Run!"

His wife frantically pulled open the latch, the wooden planks pushed open, and she froze on the threshold.

Dust filled the streets as the fairies, who had been leisurely wandering around, were now running frantically towards the other end of the town.

Their hooves thundered like drums, raising clouds of dust. Some even leaped over the low walls by the roadside, creating a whooshing sound in the wind.

As soon as the door opened, they walked straight through it.

Ordinary earthquakes wouldn't have caused these fairies such panic; they seemed to be fleeing from some creature.

The girl's parents looked in the direction they had come from, and their faces instantly turned to utter horror.

At the end of the street, a figure larger than a house in diameter was rushing towards them.

Its body is covered with multicolored scales, ranging from deep purple to blood red, from dark blue to emerald green, constantly changing under the dim light, like a giant amber that has been repeatedly dyed.

It was a snake.

Giant snake.

Its size was so enormous that the front half of it alone was taller than the town's tallest clock tower, and its tail was curling up in the open fields outside the street.

Wherever it passed, houses were crushed like paper lanterns, wood flew everywhere, and tiles rained down.

With a loud "boom," half of the roof of the old tailor's house at the village entrance collapsed, and broken bricks rolled all over the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Monster, demon-sama...how could it be..."

The girl's father's lips trembled; he had never seen anything like it.

The giant snake's eyes were scarlet, and its body was constantly changing shape, alternating between reality and illusion, unable to maintain a stable structure.

Ji Tian could tell at a glance that its body contained far too much and too chaotic demonic energy, which was clashing and devouring each other, eroding its will completely.

In short, this so-called fairy has gone mad.

Now it has lost all reason, leaving only the instinct to devour more magic essence, and thus it keeps chasing after relatively weak fairies.

At that speed, the giant snake could run over this place in a few seconds.

The girl's father turned around abruptly, shouting, "It's not safe here! Run out the back door!"

Before the words were finished, a dark golden figure rose from the open space on the street, the air currents stirred up by its outstretched wings swirling the dust on the ground to both sides.

As the giant serpent approached, the golden dragon soared into the air, its body twisting in the low sky, its golden claws whistling through the air as it viciously clawed at the serpent's head.

The sharp claws cut into the snake's body, attempting to make it fly directly.

But it was used to hunting monsters and did not expect that its opponent was actually a creature made of magic element.

The moment the claw touched the giant snake's scales, the snake's body seemed to lose its substance, disintegrating suddenly like smoke scattered by the wind, turning into a blurry, semi-transparent halo of magical light.

The golden dragon's claws passed through the halo of light, grasping at nothing, and its body slid forward several feet due to inertia.

The giant serpent reformed into a physical form the instant the golden dragon passed through, as if nothing had happened.

It didn't even look back, continuing to chase after the fleeing fairies.

The golden dragon adjusted its posture the moment it landed, spread its wings again, and locked its vertical pupils on the ever-receding, enormous body.

"This guy can change his form... looks like we'll have to find another way to deal with him."

It had already made a judgment: relying solely on the dragon race's powerful physique and conventional magic enchantments to attack would not be effective, and the preparation time for dragon language magic was too long; using dragon breath to attack was the best strategy.

But the range of dragon's breath is too large.

There are still many civilian houses in this area, and people running in the streets. If the dragon's breath is directly spewed, it will inevitably cause accidental injury.

It is adjusting its angle, preparing to concentrate its dragon breath as much as possible, covering only the straight area in front of it.

Just then, a figure swept past it.

Ji Tian made his move.

The sword gleamed with a warm golden light, and the patterns on it lit up the moment it was drawn from its sheath, flowing along the blade and illuminating the surrounding dim sky for a moment.

After the Golden Dragon failed to capture it, Ji Tian deduced that the so-called fairy had characteristics similar to slimes, namely, it could not be harmed by physical attacks.

This means his superpowers are temporarily useless.

But it doesn't matter, the super intelligence told him that the power of faith in the Holy Sword and the Holy Mountain was still effective.

He leaped and bounded among the ruins and rubble, blocking the giant snake's path.

The moment the giant serpent sensed the power of faith emanating from the holy sword, a light tinged with greed and ferocity suddenly appeared in its turbid eyes.

Its speed suddenly increased again, its head was raised sharply, and its entire massive body accelerated at that moment, opening its mouth wide and pouncing towards Ji Tian at an unbelievable speed.

It embodies a physical entity.

Ji Tian's sword was already extended, and the blade collided head-on with the hardest scales on the giant snake's lower jaw, bursting out a dazzling golden halo.

Sure enough, the holy sword could hit it.

The giant snake let out a deep hiss, and instead of retreating, it advanced, arching forward even more violently.

The next instant, those two massive jaws closed.

Ji Tian's figure disappeared into the snake's mouth.

"Knight brother—!"

The little girl's screams came from her mother's arms, who had already escaped to an open area. Her hands were struggling to reach in that direction, but her mother held her tightly.

The girl's father had instinctively raised his hand to shield his wife and daughter, his lips trembling, unsure of what to say.

Just then, the giant snake's body suddenly convulsed violently.

The multicolored halos that were originally flowing between the scales suddenly accelerated and surged wildly, as if they were being stirred up from the inside by something.

Its body arched up suddenly and then crashed down, carving a long trench in the ground.

The next moment, strands of golden light exploded from its abdomen.

First cracks appeared, then more and more appeared, and golden light gushed out from the cracks, as if a golden sun was rising inside it.

The giant serpent's body expanded, cracked, and shattered at a visible speed, finally disintegrating completely with a muffled explosion.

Colorful fragments of magic energy flew outwards like raindrops, then quickly dissipated before hitting the ground.

A white figure emerged from the shattered snake's body, its robes dusty but unharmed.

Ji Tian carried a fist-sized amber-colored crystal with a shimmering halo on his shoulder, its surface still pulsating with various magical elements.

The dust on the street gradually settled.

The surviving fairies had long since vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a mess of ruins and a few still-smoking wreckage.

The girl's father slowly lowered his hand, which had been blocking his wife and daughter, and stared blankly at the street ravaged by the battle. He then looked at the young figure standing in the ruins and remained silent for a long time.

His wife held her daughter's head in her arms and gently wiped the ashes off her face with her sleeve.

The little girl struggled to peek out from her mother's arms, looking over her mother's shoulder towards Ji Tian with bright, sparkling eyes.

As Ji Tian sheathed his holy sword and walked towards his group, she finally realized what was happening and excitedly pointed at Ji Tian, ​​saying to her mother:

"Mom, I want to be like that too!"
