I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 272

Chapter 272 Chapter 66 Dual Greatswords (Part 1)
The Ice Dragon Girl’s ice crystal dragon head, condensed in mid-air, fiercely collided with the opposing Swordsman, knocking him back several steps. Taking advantage of this, Ophi quickly turned her head, looking at Verafia, who had been knocked over by the preceding shockwave and had just managed to struggle to her feet in a rather disheveled state, and shouted:
“Verafia, quickly, come help me!”
“Idiot Ice Dragon, I know!”
Verafia pushed herself up from the ground, a rather disheveled climb. She irritably spat out the dirt she had accidentally swallowed, and the flames igniting on her delicate body evaporated the dust clinging to her long dress and beautiful hair.
The staff held by the girl flickered with light, and with a wave of her slender hand, a fireball spell was hurled fiercely at the pitch-black Swordsman.
“You damn guy, to dare toy with this young lady like this, do you think this young lady won’t get serious! I’m telling you, you’re finished!”
Accompanying the blazing fireball was the girl’s voice, almost exploding with anger.
The Swordsman was repelled by Ophi’s ice crystal, raising his sword to shatter the frost. However, he didn’t counter-attack or respond to Flarn, who was approaching with her sword. Instead, he raised his greatsword to block in front of him.
Clearly, the pitch-black Swordsman was more wary of Verafia’s attack.
“Boom!”
The scorching flames collided with the greatsword, and the released flame light formed a blaze that scorched the ground. Beneath the firelight, the Swordsman’s arm trembled as he remained shrouded in vast darkness and retreated a step under the immense impact.
Almost simultaneously, a stunning crimson-gold stream of light slashed through, its brilliant radiance cutting through the vast night like a sharp sword. The towering figure of the Swordsman raised his eyes and saw the dazzling sword light of the exquisite girl before him, cutting through the flame light!
The flowing flames cut through the entire night, and then the dazzling sword edge heavily struck the pitch-black greatsword that was returning the blow. The explosive ripple directly vaporized the ground within several meters, creating a huge, sunken pit!
“Flarn!”
After the clash, Verafia landed on the ground, sliding several meters back from the shockwave. The long sword in her hand, now cracked, shattered with a bang, then reformed and plunged into the ground, drawing fiery lava lines. She forcefully raised her little head and shouted.
The sound of a sword edge cutting through the air appeared, and a scarlet luster surged in the Blood Race Girl’s eyes as she slashed down at the pitch-black Swordsman, who had just blocked Verafia’s sword.
“Bang!”
The pitch-black Swordsman was forced to raise his arm to block the cold edge of the blood-red radiance. The surging pitch-black demonic power was torn to shreds by the sharp, sword-like blood-red radiance.
The color deep in the Swordsman’s eyes settled, and suddenly, all his demonic power erupted, pushing away the Blood Race Girl who had leaped to attack. He then grabbed his greatsword, flicked it, and heavily struck the Ice Dragon Girl’s frost ice dragon spear.
The intense power bursting between the pitch-black greatsword and the dragon spear caused sonic booms in the air. As the girl’s spear thrust froze, hard ice crystals were crushed one by one, causing exquisite dragon scales to appear on Ophi’s exposed, pure white skin outside her frost armor to withstand the intense impact.
“You damn guy, you’re not getting away! Flame Burst Sword!”
Just then, Verafia, who had been pushed back by the force, had once again raised her sword condensed with flame. Luxurious fire feathers drifted, and under the extremely hot sword edge, all the blazing, magnificent golden flames poured out!
The fiercely burning sword struck the pitch-black Swordsman, who had no time to react, with a crisp sound of “bang”. The dazzling sword blade, condensed from flame crystals but with a strength completely comparable to the hardest metal, was crushed by the force field generated by the black demonic power surging around him.
However, as the sword blade shattered, the brilliant gold light completely poured into the pitch-black Swordsman’s surroundings. The burning flames bloomed like a brilliant golden rose, instantly engulfing him.
Ophi, who was clashing with the pitch-black greatsword, was also sent flying by the powerful impact. The Ice Dragon Girl stumbled a couple of steps, quickly stabilized herself, and raised her slender hand to condense thick ice crystals to block the residual waves of the fierce flames.
At the center of Verafia’s brilliant gold fierce flame slash, the scorching flames devoured all the substantial matter around them. In mid-air, the night disappeared, leaving only the aura of flames. The surrounding soil and rocks were melted into lava and then evaporated!
“Ugh, why is this Phoenix’s flame so powerful!”
On the thick frost that the Ice Dragon Girl was blocking with her jade hand, she could faintly feel the scorching heat of the flame’s residual waves. Ophi blinked her lustrous, icy-beautiful eyes in disbelief as she looked at the scene of destruction wrought by the flames before her, wondering if she could withstand the girl’s flames if she transformed into her true form as a dragon.
After her long sword shattered, Verafia, ignoring the cost, condensed the vibrant crimson phoenix heavenly fire in her pure white small hand again, forming the shape of a sword edge.
“Idiot Ice Dragon, don’t daze off at a time like this! Hurry up and help this young lady kill him!”
Verafia stomped her slender foot on the ground, grabbed the sword that had just been condensed, and shouted at the Ice Dragon Girl beside her. She raised her sword and slashed at the Swordsman who was still burning in the pitch-black depths of space.
Although she had only clashed with him head-on a few times, and there was no trace of aura within the scorching flames, Verafia refused to believe that the Swordsman, who had forcibly snatched the Frost Heart and crystal bracelet from her, could be so easily eliminated.
The sword in the girl’s hand slashed through the night under the brilliant flame light. At the same time, the dazzling golden flames from the previous sword strike suddenly dimmed, and the gorgeous golden radiance was stained with pitch-black, tainted substances, rapidly withering.
A black sword edge slashed through, revealing the Swordsman’s figure shrouded in darkness.
“This kind of flame… it’s merely a catalyst for crystals, yet it’s far more powerful than any I’ve seen before. However, Miss Phoenix of the Flames, what surprises me even more is your swordsmanship, which, I must say, I find impossible to parry.”
The Swordsman blocked Verafia’s descending sword edge with his right hand. The scorching gold sharp blade clashed against the black demonic power, which was like sturdy armor, with sharp sounds and sparks flying everywhere.
The Swordsman’s gaze fell upon Verafia, who was raising her sword to slash again, as a hoarse, heavy voice echoed in the air.
“Of course, as the legendary Phoenix born from flames, even with only a few months of existence, such flames are only natural. However, this swordsmanship is truly astonishing, making me curious if you mingled with human society before your rebirth… Even stranger is, Miss Phoenix, you seem to be using more magic, are you perhaps trying to conceal something?”
“What are you asking so much about? This young lady is happy to do so!”
Verafia’s heart tightened again, but on the surface, her little face flushed red. Angrily, she said, and the sword in her hand slashed down with a whistling sound.
Amidst the burning gold sword light, the girl’s angry voice roared.
“Besides, you damn guy, you’re just a crystal, and you haven’t even beaten me, so don’t act all high and mighty! This young lady has met plenty of humans stronger than you!”
