Chapter 386 Chapter 180 Sword of Blazing Fire (Part 2)
Douglas stepped forward, his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes illuminating his handsome face with flowing brilliance.
“…However, to possess such powerful might with only this much mastery, even my Sun-Burning Fire cannot suppress it— I wonder, if that senior were to unleash it personally, what astonishing prestige would it hold?”
The red-haired youth’s crimson-gold pupils swept over the youth who was slightly panting, and his praising voice continued.
Igerte forcefully raised his pupils, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on his face, “Heh, let him unleash it… Good, Douglas, you will see!”
The black-haired youth’s final words struck like thunder. Above the fading twilight, a brilliant white light flashed, and a fleeting brilliance was lifted with his drawing of the sword.
In an instant, the entire world seemed to pause for a moment, and then all the silence collapsed under Igerte’s sword!
“White Light Day Cut”, “Annihilation Light”!
Two completely different sword techniques merged into one on Igerte’s long sword, and a profound sword intent spread and tore through countless basic particles!
“It’s useless! Even if this sword intent is stronger, you’ve only just scratched the surface! Why not use the sword technique you inherited!”
Douglas laughed heartily. The moment he swung down the Sword of Gold in his hand, the Golden Flame burned and ground the sword intent. Even though Igerte’s sword was much stronger than before, the tip of the End merely advanced an inch.
However, Douglas’s laughter abruptly stopped.
In his eyes, the black-haired youth stepped forward as usual, his sword in hand like cleaving through a giant wave, tearing through the roaring sword qi and storm. But, the sword intent of “Sever” on it suddenly paused in mid-air as it was about to reach its limit.
Douglas’s expression suddenly changed, and a dangerous look appeared in his widened pupils.
From the ancient blade that was about to approach him, he felt a vaguely familiar, yet more radiant and scorching color!
“Lord Lothel’s sword, you are not worthy to see!”
Igerte’s roaring voice was torn to shreds by the surging sword wind, but the prestige of the sword light did not diminish at all. Suddenly, a brilliant golden glow appeared on the End, and then, scorching golden blazing flames were swung down by him!
“Boom!”
The flowing flaming sword light on the End, like a scorching golden storm, poured entirely onto Douglas’s rearguard sword, melting his defense and cutting straight towards his body.
Both were golden flames, yet in everyone’s eyes, the power that clashed was completely different. The light of the blazing flames licked and roared, releasing intense light and heat, evaporating and melting large areas of stone slabs around them!
–
“Mmm… This seems to be Verafia’s flame?”
Ophi slightly tiptoed, lifting her little head, her frost-blue eyes blinking, and she made a crisp sound.
Unlike others who looked surprised, as a friend of both Verafia and the youth, Ophi had seen the girl’s phoenix fire more than once… and many times, she herself had borne its brunt.
Thus, for this little Ice Dragon Princess, she was probably more familiar with Verafia’s flame than her sister Fraria’s Red Lotus Dragon Breath, and of course, she knew how powerful it was… After all, her sister wasn’t as malicious as this phoenix, always liking to bully her.
Thinking of this, the Ice Dragon Girl held her little hands against her cheeks, waving her little face dejectedly, without any concealment of her displeasure towards Verafia.
Shiel’s gaze did not shift for a moment.
On the arena, after the blazing flames and light extinguished, the confrontation between Igerte and Douglas became even more intense.
Every time the two swung their swords, large areas of brilliant golden flames would burn and destroy each other. The scorching heat formed waves like volcanic lava, rushing at them.
At this moment, even Douglas could not maintain his previous composure. His luxurious robes were torn by Igerte’s sword light, and he looked more disheveled than the confident noble youth he was before.
Fran, the silver-haired Vampire Princess, slightly raised her little face, and a long-lost voice suddenly came from her tender red lips, “This person’s flame is not as good as Sister’s.”
Dofiraia also nodded.
Although, as the purple-haired girl Dale from Deep Ice had said before, the flame on Douglas’s sword originated from the true meaning of the sun, they could clearly see that the phoenix fire left on Igerte’s sword by Verafia was of obviously higher quality.
Douglas was only able to maintain his parity by relying on the sheer volume of his flames and his higher realm.
And under the phoenix fire, the “Sever” sword intent and more exquisite sword techniques that Igerte continued to unleash were the reasons for Douglas’s disheveled state.
“However, although it’s not as good as Miss Vera, Douglas’s flame is indeed astonishing.”
Dofiraia praised again:
“As Miss Dale said, it’s worthy of being a sword technique comprehended from the true meaning of the sun… Just witnessing it is like looking directly at a scorching sun. No wonder Teacher praised him more than once.”
“Hmph, how could Lord Douglas be inferior to that guy? Lord, Lord was just worried that defeating this person so quickly would hurt Shiel’s heart, so he deliberately held back!”
However, Dale, with her long light purple hair, was still unappreciative. She raised her cheek and thought of a suitable reason to argue.
“Don’t want… Shiel to be sad?”
Ophi blinked her crystal-clear frost-blue eyes. She was very confused by this human girl named Dale’s obvious, yet self-deceiving behavior.
“Um, I think… you seem to care a lot about Douglas?”
The Ice Dragon Girl leaned her little face forward, racking her brain to find suitable words, and asked curiously.
The purple-haired girl was originally very wary of this dragon girl with beautiful little horns, who was not human, but upon hearing her words, her eyes suddenly lit up.
“Care? Humph, I am Lord Douglas’s maid, of course I care about my master!”
“Maid… Master?”
Ophi’s frost-blue big eyes seriously examined the human girl in front of her, who raised her fair neck like a swan and showed an infatuated look in her eyes when talking about Douglas.
Hmm… As for the position of a maid, she had seen it many times since coming to the human world.
At least, in Elishia’s home or Igerte’s castle, there were quite a variety of girls in such positions.
However, Ophi had never encountered someone like the girl in front of her.
Ophi thought hard, and suddenly remembered the plot of a human story in the storybook she bought. Her crystal-frost eyes lit up:
“Um, is it because you are so devoted to Douglas that you grew up in poverty and were helped by him, and then you got nice skirts and pastries… or perhaps you encountered danger and were rescued by him?”
