I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 693

Chapter 151 Envoy (Part 1)
Seeing Ig’s anxious expression, Verafia felt a slight warmth in her heart as he suddenly grasped her small hand, only to quickly reveal relief. However, she gently tilted her delicate face upwards and pouted her red lips, feigning displeasure.
“Of course, I know. We agreed that I would always be your Young Lady. What’s wrong? Did she use her power… and Ig, you idiot, if that were really my divine power, wouldn’t this inferior imitation facing us have been completely melted by now?”
The girl’s crisp and pleasant voice echoed in the afterglow of the flames, in the space shrouded by steaming frost. Suddenly, bone-chilling frost once again howled.
“As expected… as expected, such beautiful, such noble flames, they shouldn’t originate from a mortal, even if it is Miss Verafia…”
A hoarse and sharp sound, like the piercing friction of fine metal against ice, grating and ear-piercing, as if the whispers of an unknown evil god within the frost. However, this voice, almost completely eroded by frost, still retained a human quality, filled with shock and fervor.
Within the ice fog, a pair of suddenly appearing ferocious eyes flashed with a kind of ecstasy and madness that transcended the instinct of life. “As expected—you are the deity of flames, you are the Fire Saint!”
With a resounding boom, the roaring madness stirred up waves of chaos. The frost-covered world was in turmoil, with thick layers of ice covering the tower walls and the ground. In the uncontainable will of the Frost Calamity, the ground, pure white, was instantly shattered into powder by an even more severe cold temperature!
The solemn tower of the Church’s Inquisition, with walls strong enough to withstand the full might of the stars, was easily twisted and torn apart.
The Frost Calamity Knight—Kaino, known as the “Incarnation of Frost Calamity,” appeared amidst the endless roaring frost. Ice spikes, inserted upside down, gave rise to a grotesque body nearly three meters tall.
One side of his body was melted by radiant flames, dripping with frost and snow. His chest was pierced by a terrifyingly large hole from the “Night Meteor,” with white mist billowing out, revealing frozen internal organs and even the interior of his chest.
The laws radiating from the Frost Calamity shone with an ice-blue luster, and his beating frost heart seemed to freeze the temperature of the entire world into ice crystals.
“As expected, devouring this heart… is it as His Incarnation? Even if the level of power and law is far from it, at least, on the level of life, it can barely be called a demigod.”
Verafia snorted softly, propped up her staff, and the sound of the wind, like swords, struck her magic shield with a grating noise.
Her gold eyes glanced sideways. The wound left by the sword of flames on the opposite side was rapidly healing amidst the spreading ice and snow. Even the huge gash on his chest was closing at a visible speed.
This did not surprise Verafia. She did not expect to kill Kaino, who was almost completely assimilated by the heart of the Frost Calamity, with just a few of her spells. Moreover, when the Flame Abyss Sacred Sword descended, most of its power was blocked by the Mistetinn’s Staff.
Although Kaino’s injuries appeared terrifying, for him, who was parasitized by the heart of the Frost Calamity, as long as the heart and the laws of the Frost Calamity were not harmed, the injuries were not serious.
Suddenly, a startled cry came out. The frost shadow opposite sneered sharply, shattering the ice layers on his face inch by inch. The Mistetinn’s Staff swept a frost-blue arc, and the frozen space shattered like a mirror with a roar, descending directly towards the girl’s slender and delicate body.
“Hmph, you know it’s me! But you, an ugly freak created by a false god, still want to devour me?”
Verafia snorted lightly, and Niya’s magic flowed in. As she waved her staff, streams of brilliant magic instantly condensed in mid-air and poured towards the descending Frost Calamity sword edge.
Although the staff that the girl waved casually seemed to only cast ordinary spells, with the ignition of magnificent golden flames, their power was astonishing. Any single one of them could rival a forbidden spell.
Even Kaino’s body, covered by frost laws and harder than steel, was shattered by the offensive spells, scattering tiny ice shards that were blood, and then evaporated by the subsequent even more intense spells.
However, Kaino showed no reaction, letting his body be torn to shreds. On his chest, a distorted and terrifying smile spread across his face-like features.
The laws of the Frost Calamity spread across the slender sword edge in his hand. With a casual swing, arcs of frost easily tore through the meteor-like spells.
Although he was almost consumed by frost, he still possessed human intelligence. He could see that this supremely beautiful and noble young lady had not been pretending before, but for some reason unknown to him, she had lost her power.
Even though the spells bloomed in Verafia’s hands, she was only relying on the magic of the red-haired loli beside her.
– Precisely because of this, no matter how fast the magic conversion was, the young lady who borrowed others’ magic naturally had far less mobility, not even comparable to ordinary mages. Many attacks that could have been avoided had to be endured by force through magic.
And even the backlash of magic would not be easy for Verafia at this moment.
The tower walls were destroyed by repeated violent fluctuations. In the ice and snow, ghostly frost shadows moved amidst countless spells. In just a few breaths, they had already approached the girl.
The whistling wind froze in the air, blowing Verafia’s pure white skirt.
He could even see that this peerlessly beautiful and noble young lady, due to the impact of the ice blade, the backlash of magic struck her body, her delicate eyelashes trembled on her magnificent golden eyes, and her delicate body retreated, even a fleeting pain flashed across her flawless face as delicate as porcelain and jade.
Kaino grinned savagely, raised the Mistetinn’s Staff, and the sword edge formed by frost exuded a chilling aura that could almost freeze life. Behind him, the surging cold tide condensed into a frozen Styx, and as the frost blade was pulled out, it descended!
Verafia waved her staff again.
The next moment, the flames that ignited in the empty space were smashed to pieces. The shattered flames were simultaneously frozen in mid-air, giving Verafia no chance to cast again.
The girl’s eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, and fine frost touched her slender eyelashes. In her eyes, the Mistetinn’s Staff was covered in frost, and a line formed by frost seemed to cover the entire night sky. Even she couldn’t help but feel a sense of threat.
But suddenly, from behind, a brilliant sword light cut through.
“Sever” and “Destroy.” Above the end, the condensed and spreading substantial sword light, following the youth’s movements, descended like a waterfall.
Whether it was the enveloping frost and snow, or the solidified ice crystals, or even the cold frost moon hanging high in the night sky, under this splitting sword light, they were undoubtedly split into two and cut with a resounding sound!

Should be able to finish this part tomorrow… (I’m really dragging this out…)
Barring any accidents, this volume will probably end this month (there’s still quite a bit of content though…)
