Rise of the White Dragon

Chapter 346: Buddha’s Holy Finger

[Author note: For those who didn’t understand. Luan currently has the strength and Qi of 40 dragons, that is 80 dragons together. In case you’re wondering, an Emperor/Sixth Order has the strength of 41 dragons and goes up to 100 dragons. Practically, Luan currently has near-peak Sixth Order strength, so he’s in the False Emperor qualification.]

The gate that defended the city, but which was previously destroyed, was replaced by a barrier made of clouds. As much as the giant rats tried to destroy it, it was a futile attempt. Not only that, Luan programmed it to have something similar to reflect on the moment he’s attacked.

But, even knowing that it would be impossible to enter the city, the giant rats were not willing to give up, it was as if their lives depended on it and nothing else mattered. When some who had a higher level of intelligence realized that they could no longer use the entrance to the city, they started banging their heads on the wall that surrounds the city.

Some tried to jump or fly over the walls, but they were blocked by an invisible barrier.

Even though this was done, there were still many giant rats that had succeeded before in invading the city. Luan, in turn, created a gigantic hand calm with Cloud Origin. At a speed not too high, not too low, it began to descend towards a riot of giant rats.

*BOOOOOM!*

Even though the speed was not high, the impact was strong, suddenly creating a huge cavity within the city which, in turn, had the effects of a large scale earthquake throughout the city.

Among the giant rats, there was one that was the blue colored leader. The elemental mouse moaned in rage within the cloud of dust. A water element dome came out of it and stayed around it, protecting it, however, it still didn’t get rid of all the damage, it just avoided taking heavy damage.

While some screamed in fear, those who were stronger looked at this scene with open mouths.

The head of the guards guarding the citadel muttered, unable to close his mouth, “How did he do that?”

A hot-blooded boy in his early teens saw this and shouted, “Is this the power of an Emperor? This is so cool! I… I also want to be Emperor when I grow up!”

Applause erupted from the people as they realized they were safe.

The look of despair from before changed to hope!

The power shown by Luan was too devastating, however, apparently being an ally that was saving them, they fought the fear that lingered in being in the presence of someone so powerful.

“Don’t run towards the city lord’s castle!” Someone suddenly yelled.

Now that the city was more or less stabilized with the deaths of the giant rats, one by one it was noticed that the destination of the giant rats was none other than the citadel, wanting to reach the castle of the city lord.

Meanwhile, the city lord was on top of the castle fortress looking out over the city, when he saw the giant rats heading toward him, he held the box in his hand tightly. A sad, angry look crossed his eyes as he looked at his 15 year old youngest daughter.

“Emerald, did you see what you did?!” The older sister Raquel said in a tone of fear and anger. If her mom and dad hadn’t been there, she would have lunged at her reckless little sister’s neck.

“But, but, I thought this would be able to help eliminate the evil…” With tears in her eyes, Esmeralda pouted. She was very sad, as she thought as the daughter of the lord of the city, it was her duty to help the people. However, the hard truth came very fast and hard.

Not only was she scolded, even she saw her father and family monopolize the entire city’s defense for themselves.

‘It wouldn’t be a problem to use the holy buddha finger to eliminate some disgusting rats, however, if this powerful being finds out that I have such an item…’ The city lord didn’t even dare to think more deeply, he didn’t want to get rid of the item. holy buddha finger. That was what helped him to come to power, he couldn’t risk losing it.

For the lord of the city, he might lose the citizens, he might lose the city, but not the holy finger of the buddha!

“If you hadn’t opened the finger box…” Before Raquel could finish her sentence, a slap came real fast and hard.

*Slap!*

“Damn girl! Don’t say another word to that.” The city lord trembled in fear and looked in the direction the man flying on a cloud was facing.

Raquel seemed to have misunderstood her father’s words, she mistakenly thought that again her father was on her younger sister’s side, because of that, and even worse, it was the first time he showed to be so much on Esmeralda’s side to the point of hitting her. ‘Why? Why? What did I do wrong? Isn’t it always Esmeralda that’s causing trouble? Why do I just have to suffer?’

Tears streamed from her eyes as she wept in census-filled silence. If Esmeralda hadn’t been born… ‘Everything started to get worse because of you!’ She shot Esmeralda a hateful look.

“Sister, are you okay?” Esmeralda didn’t notice her sister’s hateful look and went to comfort her. She didn’t think her father did it because of her, after all, it was when Raquel tried to talk about the box that her father got nervous, she was also keen to notice the direction her father looked after.

‘Dad is afraid that this gentleman will steal the sacred finger of buddha?’ Esmeralda began to believe that this was the truth.

As the sisters’ mother, she was silent as she cast an indifferent look at Raquel. ‘This unlucky girl, it is no longer enough to be born into an unlucky star. She still blames her younger sister, and it was thanks to my dear Esmeralda that my luck changed.’ Her gaze changed as she looked at Esmeralda.

Lucia, the wife of the city lord, is the typical person who loves gambling. She had good luck in the games, however, it got worse with the birth of Raquel, because of that, she always treated Raquel like a plague. If not for being a daughter, she would have killed a long time ago. When the second daughter was born, it was as if sunlight had finally appeared on a dark day.

She felt luckier, even won more often. Her life made more sense, while she treated Esmeralda as a treasure, she treated Raquel with disdain.

This obviously created enormous jealousy in Raquel de Esmeralda.

While the city lord treated them both alike; without showing much love, he didn’t show disdain for Raquel, however, he didn’t even show affection and affection. At best, he treated her as a member of the family.

Almost 2 kilometers away, Luan arched his brow: ‘Finger? Something related to why the giant rats run towards the city lord’s castle?’

Luan wasn’t interested in stealing someone’s treasure, but he couldn’t ignore it when someone was being so wary of him, and he didn’t even show any intention of taking anything from them.
