I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 699

The slender waist was held tightly by the young man, Verafia’s steps were a bit unsteady, and her raised golden eyes saw the magic patterns lighting up and operating rapidly.
Tiny ice gravel condensed in the air, spreading like white frost mist, layer by layer covering the moonlight magic used by Irene, causing the Silver Moon Elf’s arms to tremble slightly.
Except for a few people like Shiel, the rest of the people behind them swarmed onto the illuminated magic array, the radiant magic falling on their faces after the fear, all showing expressions of lingering fear.
Verafia suddenly gripped Ig’s fingers forcefully, raising her snow-white tender face with some urgency: “Ig, put me down, Little Fei is still behind!”
Before the girl’s voice had fallen, the cold tide surges again.
The right hand Irene used to block condensed into fine ice, she gritted her silver teeth, her magic began to surge, activating the complete spell, tearing space like moonlight silver blades.
The pervasive frost mist, the will of the Frost God, spiritual power could not penetrate at all.
Ig pulled the girl who was anxiously holding the staff, forcefully handed her to Ain beside him. He held his sword again, layers of flame protection lighting up, preparing to rush into the howling storm.
Suddenly, a clear, but extremely strained dragon roar sounded. The phantom of the Frost Giant Dragon, crystal-like magnificent dragon wings slashed through the wind and frost, the radiance of magic suddenly dispersed, and the slender and tall Ice Dragon Girl reappeared.
The doll-like flawless exquisite face was pale as snow, even the beautiful ice-blue hair seemed to be frozen with frost.
As if in pain, Ophi let out a low groan, but there was no hesitation on her small face, her slender ice dragon spear flicked, forcefully merging the melody of the space around her into the radiance of the spell currently in operation.
“Little Fei!”
Ig hurriedly caught the falling Ice Dragon Girl, just by contact, the bone-chilling frost on the girl’s body, like sharp blades cutting flesh and blood.
He endured the pain and did not let go, gently placing the extremely weak girl on the ground. Verafia on the side quickly helped her up.
The magic array reflecting the faint moonlight shimmered, forcibly tearing space. But suddenly, strands of frost ice spread in an instant, like an approaching evil beast, ferociously opening its giant mouth.
“The power of the Frost Calamity… it can corrode space!” Shiel watched with a pale, bloody face, the Silver Moon Elf beside her gritted her silver teeth tightly, her silver eyes gazing unwillingly.
Suddenly, in the gloom, a flame lit up, and the ice and snow melted.
Unlike the overjoyed crowd, Ig’s eyes turned in horror, and in his vision, the girl gently raised her scepter, a wisp of starlight lighting up at the top, the soft firelight touching her flawless face.
A thread of holiness and nobility, in the rendered firelight, was softly revealed. The girl who gently raised the staff, in the cold night, was like a softly lit lantern, a goddess of warmth and light.
However, what Ig was worried about was this very point.
But his body swayed quickly, and the heavy kinetic energy was instantly poured onto him.
“Boom!”
A very heavy tremor, the crowd wrapped by the space magic, felt a squeeze, and then a gap appeared in the sky, and they fell to the ground.
Everyone was scattered on the ground, even Shiel let out a嬌呼, and her delicate body felt a surge of pain. Ig barely stood firm, and caught the girl thrown out from the barely maintained space gap.
“Veer…”
Ig quickly squeezed her hand, soft and warm, not cold like ice-sealed before. Moreover, on the girl’s gently raised flawless snow-white face, a faint blush was reflected, making her look full of life.
Like starlight, the radiance shimmered in her gorgeous eyes.
However, Ig’s heart felt heavy.
What was invading was the will of the Frost God, the laws of the Frost Calamity, which even Verafia, who borrowed fragments of his former divine power, could not completely stop.
To repel the laws of a deity, only a similar existence to Him…
Along with self-blame and guilt towards the girl, Ig’s heart could not tolerate the emergence of the laws of the Frost Calamity, and Anderthun, who had been ignoring him, filled him with unbearable anger.
But, to this stubborn old demon, Ig knew that his anger was just impotent rage.
The delicate and soft little hand gently opened his clasped fingers, placing them in his palm.
As if seeing his thoughts, Verafia tilted her delicate face slightly and smiled sweetly: “Ig, are you worried about me? Actually, nothing is wrong. Just now, I only used a very small amount of power… This won’t affect ‘her’ sleep.”
“But…”
“What is there to but.”
Seeing him frown and hesitate, Verafia pretended to be angry and turned her head, blinking her golden eyes: “Nothing is wrong with me. Besides, compared to this young lady, Ig, you should be more concerned about Little Fei.”
The Ice Dragon Girl stood up with Ain leaning on her. Although she had felt that her injuries were severe before, in the light, they were almost shocking.
As if seeing his gaze, Ophi quickly raised her little face, showing a brilliant smile, wanting to prove that nothing was wrong with her.
But, accidentally pulling on the wound frozen by frost, the expression on the Ice Dragon Girl’s little face instantly became miserable, her gem-like big eyes filled with tears, almost crying out.
Looking at her expression, Ig felt both amused and pained. Besides this… similar to before, but not entirely the same shame surfaced.
Clearly the precious little princess of the Dragon Clan, but because of him and his girl, she came to such an icy and snowy environment, facing such danger…
A trace of relief lingered in his heart.
If, besides the frost, Ophi was also proficient in space magic, at that time, being isolated outside the space magic array, facing the corrosion of the Frost Calamity alone, Ig dared not even imagine what would happen.
His thoughts fell here, Ig raised his gaze angrily, looking at Irene and the people behind her.
The disguised priests and knights, all lowered their faces guiltily.
The people who followed Irene in their escape were not only the soldiers loyal to Shiel brought by them, and the Kasha followers who followed Tais, but also Count Robert’s knights and the Inquisition priests who witnessed Cardinal Bro’s betrayal also followed the girl.
When fighting the invading Frost Calamity cultists before, they were only entangled, and there were not many casualties.
However, the Frost Calamity storm that erupted from Trist’s chest, even with Verafia’s obstruction, and with Ophi blocking behind, in a short moment, nearly half of the people were harvested.
If it weren’t for these two girls, their outcome would have been unquestionable, and they would have been frozen into ice blocks like Kaino, becoming the Frost God’s sustenance, the moment the frost was released.
However, at that time, most of them were only thinking about urging Irene to cast the spell as quickly as possible, without caring about the girl who was blocking the frost for them.
