I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 394

Chapter 394 Chapter 188 Severing the Sun Fire (Part 2)
“Collapsing Great Sun, Solar Starburst Sword!”
As Douglas raised his sword, the entire Golden Domain shattered with a roar, and even the surrounding Solar Domain turned into pure blazing divine power, condensing onto the glorious Sacred Sword in his hand.
An incredibly astonishing ripple surged between the golden sword edges. In the unimaginably high temperature, the golden flame’s solar divine power began to collapse, a layer of absolute darkness, yet more dangerous, fluctuation appeared, and extremely high heat piled up geometrically.
Douglas’s confident smile expanded with the sword light.
In order to deal with Ig, after judging that Ig was a “God’s Chosen,” Douglas unleashed his “Surtur’s Solar Divine Kingdom” and the Solar Domain, while also preparing a backup plan – that is, to silently collapse the power of the sun to unleash the Solar Starburst Sword!
Therefore, even though Ig had shattered the Holy Curtain of Solar Flame in a way he couldn’t understand, Douglas still didn’t show much panic. He was only surprised, for no other reason than the destructive sword in his right hand was his trump card!
– Douglas was even confident that even if powered by golden demonic power, those below the transcendent, even any platinum rank, would not be able to withstand it, and even a titled crystal would be heavily damaged!
In the instant Douglas drew his sword, countless lights and flames in the air were incinerated, turning into layers of light rays that surged into the sword edge. Ig’s face appeared in his vision not far away.
However, to Douglas’s surprise, the black-haired young man did not show a panicked expression. Both his face and his azure blue eyes were filled with only a single trace of calm.
Douglas subconsciously felt a hint of something wrong. But at this moment, the situation did not allow him to think further.
– Whether it was the destructive sword whose energy had accumulated to the extreme in his hand, or if they merely hesitated for a moment, the Saint Rank experts who were about to make a move would definitely stop him!
The golden sword was stained with black and raised by Douglas towards the dome!
A dangerous fluctuation suddenly surged. The black-haired young man extended his arm and raised his sword. The dim sword reflected the residual flames in the air, but it seemed to touch something soft. A smile that Douglas had never seen before appeared on the young man’s face.
He said, “Young Lady, I should have realized it sooner.”
Gorgeous golden flames surged from his body, spreading to his right arm in an instant.
The high temperature of the blazing fire was scorching, but it did not cause him the slightest harm. A warm and familiar power flowed in his blood.
Ig gripped the sword hilt forcefully. Golden flame light weaved on the ancient and worn long sword, and a resplendent golden feathered sword was held in his hand, the cry of a phoenix flitting within the golden flames!
“Phoenix Feather Heavenly Flame Sword!”
This was also a talent gifted to him by Verafia.
In the next second, the similarly burning golden flame, but distinctly different sword edge, collided fiercely in mid-air.
Sword against sword! Golden flames burning against the blackness after the solar flames were extinguished!
The thin golden feathered sword, ignited with immortal blazing fire, swung down, and the final sword edge, after the light and flames had completely faded, reappeared in glorious radiance!
“Boom!”
The roar, far exceeding any previous attack, echoed throughout the entire castle. The fierce wind, ignited by the high temperature of the flames and cut into pieces by sharp sword qi, swept through, tearing apart the arena that had already become a ruin.
Even the Saint Rank experts present would never have imagined that the battle between two Golden ranks would escalate to this extent. In fact, during their final clash of swords, they could clearly feel that it could be dangerous, yet they were unable to stop it.
…
…
The vast light wave and gale gradually faded. Ig stood holding his sword, his robes torn and tattered, his fine dragon scales cut and scorched, blood constantly flowing from the charred wounds.
The black-haired young man suddenly turned his head back. Not far away, a young girl in a pure white long dress with silky long hair as radiant as golden sunlight gently draped down to her slender waist.
The girl also saw his turned face, and she tiptoed her sword tip, waving her little hand with all her might. Beneath her long eyelashes, her big eyes, as bright as a full moon, curved into a crescent moon, more gorgeous and moving than any other scene. Her exquisite little face was also slightly raised, a faint blush appearing on her delicate cheeks as smooth as new snow.
Ig’s lips couldn’t help but curve upwards slightly. He looked at the remnants of fire light clinging to his sword, then heavily raised his eyes to look at Douglas not far away.
The Sun Crown Sacred Sword in the youth’s hand was shattered and he knelt on the ground, his magnificent fiery red hair falling messily over his shoulders after its golden light had faded, like luxurious silk cloth.
Compared to Ig, Douglas, whose true realm was actually crystal rank, was clearly in a much better condition. Only his magnificent robe had a few rips, and he didn’t even suffer minor injuries.
However, anyone could clearly see who the true victor was.
Ig walked in front of Douglas. After a long time, this was the first time he looked down upon this proud son of heaven. The usually graceful and gentle expression on the other’s face was completely gone. On his sharply chiseled face, an expression mixed with unwillingness and resentment distorted his features, all of which entered Ig’s eyes.
Ig’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
Of course, he understood Douglas’s state of mind: someone who had always been high and mighty, whose so-called tolerance and magnanimity were merely alms in his eyes, was now defeated and trampled underfoot by someone he had always looked down upon. The emotional damage would be thousands of times greater!
Ig certainly would not show him any pity: “Douglas, you lost.”
His voice was not loud, but it sounded like a thunderclap from a clear sky. Douglas clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging, his blood-gold eyes filled with killing intent, almost wanting to attack and kill!
But this killing intent only lasted for a moment. Douglas, as the Governor of the Kingdom, possessed superior rationality and would naturally consider the situation more carefully. Moreover, Douglas’s gaze fell upon the white-dressed girl walking towards the young man behind Ig.
Douglas suddenly smiled and stood up, turning his hands.
“Ig, I shouldn’t have lost. If…”
“Douglas, what are all these ‘if’s?”
Ig interrupted his words.
He looked at the youth standing before him, still not much different from usual. However, the resentment that had weighed on his heart like a heavy mountain when facing this person was gone, leaving only a sense of calm.
The young man raised his eyes, his azure pupils clear and bright, and said, “Douglas, all of this is simply because you were too arrogant.”
The wind blew, and Douglas remained silent. The red-haired youth suddenly closed his eyes gently.
Just as Ig had said. Even in the final moment, when the final sword light severed the foundation of the “Solar Divine Kingdom,” Douglas could still have defeated the opponent without any suspense by relying on the power of the Solar Domain.
The change was precisely because Douglas himself had collapsed the domain and condensed all its power into the Solar Starburst Sword, attempting to obliterate Ig in one fell swoop. It was the collapse of the domain that removed the power suppressing Ig, thus allowing the young man to draw his sword and ignite it with golden flames.
And that trace of golden flame…
Douglas raised his head. The girl in the white long dress had already walked in front of him. The residual flames remaining in the air and on the ground only made her face more beautiful.
The girl rested her chin on her jade-like little white hand, her gorgeous eyes, which seemed to flow with golden flames, sizing him up with interest.
She suddenly thought of something very amusing. Her long eyelashes blinked gently over her golden eyes, and she raised her face, which was like a bright moon. Her pleasant, crisp voice was like silver bells ringing in the gentle breeze:
“En! Ig, you managed to defeat this guy, you haven’t disgraced this young lady at all!”
