I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 514

Chapter 514 Chapter 74 Flames Burning the Night Sky (Part 2)
In the lightless night, suddenly ignited flames illuminated the scene, causing countless people to witness it with fear.
Crystal high heels lightly stepped into the royal city’s domain, and the iris petals fluttering behind her ignited brilliant golden flames.
Patches of golden light illuminated, with crimson and luxurious gold colors, like countless swirling tulips dancing, dignified and luxurious, yet merely accentuating the esteemed figure of the white-dressed young girl.
Her beautiful eyes raised, as if ignited by pure golden flames, radiating brilliant gold divine power that scattered into myriad sparks, lingering around the girl, converging into radiant brilliance, a powerful pressure like the resurgence of fierce flames, causing everyone to perceive it with fear and tremble in their souls.
For ten thousand years, for the first time, the supreme Goddess Princess revealed her dignified appearance on this land again, and this was also the first time the entire Agrand truly felt the real pressure of a deity.
Verafia’s delicate feet landed on the ground step by step, her snow-white jade cheeks exuding a cold and flawless beauty, reflecting the golden flame and firelight that spread across the sky and earth with her movements.
Perhaps, in a certain destined timeline, historians of later generations would consider her arrival as the revival of that noble and immortal existence over countless years, and the continuation of that ancient war, but for Verafia, her thoughts and purpose were exceptionally simple.
“This, this is…”
“Who is she, and these golden flames… could it be that she wants to destroy us?”
“This aura is even more terrifying than the Grand Mage of Saint Rank! It’s the same as the fiend that broke free half a year ago. Could it be that she’s a awakened Demon God… Deities, Your Majesty the King, save us…”
The noisy, terrified voices of countless people mingled into a restless ocean, even with pleas and curses, but none of it brought even a ripple to Verafia.
The golden-haired young girl simply descended with quiet steps. Even when knights loyal to the king rushed towards her like moths to a flame, holding sword and shield to stop her advance, melting into a pool of iron water by the pure flames and evaporating into the air, she still paid them no mind, as if they were insignificant matters.
She did not intend to bring destruction to anyone or anything, nor did she begrudgingly witness their self-destruction before her…
This was a chasm between mortals and deities, a clear distinction that transcended race and class!
Dark clouds obscured the stars and moon. Molten golden firelight blazed behind her, occupying the entire sky, like a world of flames. Although the brilliant colors were magnificent, illuminating the entire sky, in the eyes of countless people, they regarded her, who was beautiful and exquisite, with fear.
Within the immense divine pressure, the entire Lichen was almost in a state of heavy oppression.
Suddenly, a roar broke the silence:
“Knights of Peka, form ranks!”
Verafia’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise. In front of the royal palace, Knight Commander Rodrigo, clad in silver armor, raised his sword and shouted. Behind him, the resonating Battle Qi surged like a tsunami.
Over two hundred fully armed royal knights held their sword and shield, chanting steadfast oaths in unison. Their resounding battle cry even moved the divine might descending from the sky.
Shields and bodies formed an indestructible fortress, blocking the path before the girl named after a deity. Behind the sharp swords and sturdy shields, knights positioned on the ramparts drew and aimed their longbows, their cold starry arrows flashing with an ethereal glow as they launched attacks at her!
The girl raised her jade hand, and the swirling fierce flames easily destroyed all attacks, while the sound of the wind merely slightly stirred the soft corner of her skirt.
Verafia slightly tilted her head upward in surprise, as the human knights launched their storm-like attacks once again!
“Unyielding and resilient… is this the will of humanity to resist?”
A clear and melodious voice emanated from her lips. It was as if, in ancient times, humanity’s ancestors who toiled with fire and iron resisted nature and natural disasters, resisting all oppression and the dominant races.
From ancient times to the present, the species known as “humanity” has not possessed the exceptional talents of elves, nor the powerful physiques of beastmen. They also lacked the superior craftsmanship and tenacious life force of the blood race or dwarves, let alone the mighty dragons.
However, even to this day, they have long stood in the world, undoubtedly becoming the absolute overlords of the continent!
She suddenly smiled gently, her clear golden eyes lifting slightly.
Such an iron and blood-soaked, glorious and dazzling will had, in the past, during the Demon Race’s world-destroying war, flowed through her heart and blood… She never expected that now, she herself would stand on its opposite side.
However, that was not important—
In the scorching gold, brilliant crimson flames bloomed in the sky, high temperatures evaporated solid rock, devouring the earth, easily destroying the violent counterattacks of humanity.
As fierce flames and storms surged, behind the knights in formation, the robed Court Mages ascended the high tower, their dazzling magical attacks tearing through the sky.
Over ten Saint-level Archmages, and even Vicena and Queen Filirya, all chanted in unison. The chaotic sea of elements instantly overwhelmed the divine pressure. The terrifying magical attacks collided with the flame domain, causing Verafia’s slender jade palm to tremble slightly.
“But… there are still many missing. Where are those dark swordsmen, and the Paladins of the Church?”
Her slender and crystalline voice stated a predetermined fact. Those blocking her path were merely the King’s Royal Knights and the Court Mage Corps. As for Lancaster’s twin swords—
For decades, with the fame of the Sacred Sword King, they had suppressed anyone who dared to resist the rule of light, even the Knights of the Round Table, who now made her wary, and the Royal Guards who cast shadows, had not yet appeared beneath this vast sky.
Therefore, such courage, and even unyielding resistance, could not possibly resist her flames!
It seemed as if a pure flame of light ascended and burned, along with the upturn of her lips. The golden-haired girl was surrounded by radiant divine power. Her lustrous crystal high heels lightly touched the ground, lifting her flawless, magnificent, and sacred delicate body into the sky.
The dazzling firelight was like a corner of her golden divine kingdom of fierce flames, descending upon the entire sky.
The light of the fierce flames was brilliant, but it brought no warmth or brightness. Instead, it was distant and untouchable, leaving only divine coldness, like her clear and beautiful figure, and her indifferent gaze.
The entire Lichen fell into a deathly silence. Even though countless people shouted and resisted, as if awaiting her, the supreme one, the flames representing divine majesty, brought the judgment of destruction upon these presumptuous, lowly humans.
The supreme Goddess Princess no longer concealed herself, her fully released sacred divine pressure reflected in the light of the divine kingdom, causing all people, instinctively at the level of their lives, to want to kneel and submit.
Even powerful Saint-ranks like Rodrigo and Vicena could only forcefully stir their magic and spiritual power to barely shield themselves from this indifferent and aloof spiritual pressure.
Suddenly, a clear laugh echoed from the sky, like clouds parting to reveal the sun. At the very center of the vast divine might, blue-gold long hair danced with the agitation of magic, and the young man’s tall and majestic figure slowly rose, meeting the gaze of the divine girl!
