Chapter 1077 - 496: Rise Up
No matter what, Ya Ya was a very well-behaved dog. Even though she spent the majority of her time being stubborn and acting cute, occasionally her temper would flare up, resulting in Jadka receiving a painful beating at the slightest disagreement. But this still couldn’t change the fact that she was very obedient.
This girl, who hadn’t shed her beastly nature, had a confused set of principles, was gluttonous and loved to play, lacked initiative, nearly zero social knowledge, terrible language talents, and made a shocking first impression, relied heavily on the friends around her. These included Mor, who had offered her a helping hand from the beginning and later redeemed her; Jadka, who had spent the most time with her and never got angry despite being tricked (or beaten) to no end, like a father figure to her; Sister Yege, whom she met later in Dragon Soul Town; and even Dabus, who occasionally gave her and Anthony language lessons. Ya Ya really, really, really liked them and didn’t want any of them to get hurt. Even when in the fiery state of Frenzy, this fact never changed—at most, she just acted more tsundere.
Because Ya Ya was truly well-behaved, she kept the countless warnings from Motan and others engraved in her heart: never rashly use the "Berserk + Dog Claw" combo that would overexert her.
But now it was obviously not a question of obedience; when she groggily woke from her faint, she saw Anthony Dabus lying on the ground unable to get up, Jadka whose life and death was uncertain, Ji Xiaoge covered in bloodstains, and Motan, who had changed in appearance but whose scent she remembered vividly, being pinned and beaten by some guy from the serpent trading company.
She wanted to stand up to protect everyone; she had to stand up to protect everyone.
To protect these people who gave her the warmth of a home and prevent them from being killed by the despicable villains.
Ya Ya’s eyes turned blood-red as she tried to stand up, but her organs, severely injured by Sergei, were not cooperating, transmitting intense pain and trying to keep the girl obediently lying on the ground through this self-preservation mechanism.
But the girl didn’t submit...
Even if her vision was blurry, even if her consciousness wasn’t clear, even if she felt pain deep into her bones, even if she was on the brink of death, she never submitted. If she had gotten through the first time, the second time, the third time... the four hundred and seventy-fifth time, the four hundred and seventy-sixth time, the four hundred and seventy-seventh time, then naturally she could get through this time as well.
"This level of pain," she coughed.
Ya Ya shakily propped herself up while coughing up black-tinged blood and mumbled in a dazed state, "Not even close. It’s not enough. So weak!"
Compared to the experiences she had been through, the internal organs shaken into disarray seemed to be child’s play.
The next second, as if a switch somewhere had been turned off, Ya Ya’s pain was ’blocked.’
The second second, the organs inside Ya Ya that had been severely damaged by Sergei’s Dark Strength suddenly covered in a layer of dark red mist and, after a strange and rapid twist, returned to their original state, healthier than ever.
The third second, the girl’s consciousness cleared up again, and the sense of pain also returned to her body, but the previously severe internal injuries and pain had disappeared.
The fourth second, with a deep roar, a dragon shadow seemed to pass behind the girl—Canine Magic "Dog Claw" activated.
The fifth second, the seemingly weightless large iron box behind Ya Ya landed heavily on the ground.
The sixth second, the two-handed war hammer inlaid with citrus and riddled with ram horns, filled with brutal beauty and covered with a few dark red patterns, fiercely drove into the iron box lying quietly on the ground.
The seventh second, the half-man-tall drill bit emanating an intense cold light was securely stuck at the end of the long handle, adding fierceness to this wild weapon.
The eighth second, Motan was struck in the chest by Sergei and fell heavily to the ground.
The ninth second, Ya Ya growled and charged out, Ji Xiaoge tried to activate "Look Back at the Fallen Kingdom" for the fourth time, triggering the system prompt for the fourth time.
The tenth second, Sergei was smashed overhead by the "Ateer Intercept Blade - Giant Smasher," whose gear and drill ends had more than doubled in weight and impact force, and he awkwardly fell to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
"I’m here to help you, Mor."
Ya Ya swung the heavy hammer again, guarding in front of Motan, and slammed it hard onto Sergei’s forearms crossed in front of his forehead. She turned to Motan and made a face, "You look pretty cool right now; let’s date."
Motan was initially stunned then suddenly sprinted to Ya Ya’s side, grabbed her slender shoulders, and knocked her to the ground. Almost at the same time, Sergei and two identical Phantoms each struck a palm, launching three columns of Qi Force at least two levels more powerful than before, looking just like a poisoned version of the Kamehameha.
It was Gang Qi, transformed from condensed Qi Force, with no flashy techniques, just fast, accurate, and ruthless. If Motan hadn’t pressed Ya Ya down in time just now, the distracted girl would have been severely injured with a single blow.
"Thanks~"
Ya Ya, exuding the aura of a tough girl, chuckled and, holding onto the root of Motan’s wing, pulled him up from the ground, snickering, "I thought you couldn’t wait to start a relationship with me."
Motan coughed dryly and, while spraying Dragon Breath at Sergei charging towards him, thunderously said to Ya Ya, "I think you definitely have some misunderstanding about ’dating.’"
