I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 180

Chapter 180 Chapter 98 Phoenix Fire
In Charle’s disbelieving gaze, the reflection of the sacred sword rapidly collapsed. The brilliant golden light that reached ten thousand zhang was almost instantly corroded by the dark bloody aura, and like a dilapidated house, it collapsed with a boom when it was hit by the wind of blood.
The Blood Duke, who was legendary, slowly raised his foot. The worn boot armor, weathered by time and past wounds, landed heavily on the ground. He raised the battle sword, which was burning with blood-red light, and with the eyes of a blood god, he instantly slashed with the worn swordsman.
The intense, almost endless sword light almost instantly dyed the entire space blood-red. Crimson lines ferociously tore through the shattered light and shadow of the sacred sword, and Charle’s tightly gripped sword blade was raised as a block in front of her.
The extremely dense blood-red light passed so close to her cheek that it almost brushed against it. The sacred sword, which was rapidly refilling with sacred light, clashed before the blood-red blade.
Whether it was the crystal-clear star-blue color or the sacred gold of the Holy Light Power, under the blood-red light, they were all like a thin piece of paper. Even the sacred sword itself began to crack little by little, and then it finally could not bear it any longer!
“Boom!”
The sacred sword shattered into pieces of pure gold, and then was easily crushed. Charle’s delicate body was hit by the violent impact that erupted, and like a kite with a broken string, she was directly thrown away, crashing into the ground.
Compared to Ig, who was by her side with a shocked expression and could not help but jump out, Verafia’s eyes, in their coldness, held a hint of mockery.
“How… how is this possible…”
In the deep pit formed by the impact, Charle barely supported herself, blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth, which she could not stop. Although the power released at the moment the sacred sword shattered had resisted the destructive power for her as much as possible, she was still severely wounded.
However, compared to her physical injuries, the young girl’s face was terrifyingly pale and lifeless. All that remained of the sacred sword tightly gripped in her hand was the hilt.
This meant… that her proud reliance had been so easily destroyed! According to her father’s instructions, she had not only failed to completely bury the Blood Duke but had also allowed his power to reappear in reality.
Moreover, it wasn’t just their lives that would be easily extinguished. The Blood Duke of decades ago… seemed to have entered the realm of immortality, completely capable of bringing devastating destruction to Rubiel City, which was not guarded by Duke Dawn.
Even if the King were to kill him again, Charle couldn’t imagine how much destruction Duke Oran would cause in these few days!
However, the bloody sword that Oran swung did not care what she was thinking in her heart. The straight sword edge landed directly on her cheek.
“Little Fei!”
As an anxious girl’s voice sounded, a roaring dragon’s cry echoed, and the frozen space stretched rapidly. Between the membranous wings of the swooping dragon, Elishia, tightly gripping her long sword, leaped down; Ophi, who had transformed into an ice dragon, swung her dragon tail to grab Charle below her and then soared away.
Oran shook his wrist, and the frozen space instantly shattered. Elishia, who had just landed, grabbed Fular, and the pure white jade-like sword body began to flow with light.
“Divine Blessing: Knight Hanno’s Shield!”
Facing the blood-red sword, Elishia opened her “forbidden” talent without hesitation. Pure light flickered on her body, forming a sturdy shield to resist Duke Oran’s attack!
Even though such a talent placed an enormous burden on Elishia’s body and spirit, and she had only used it once since obtaining it, which caused her to lie in bed for nearly a month, it was also the only way she could possibly block this sword from Duke Oran and save Charle.
“Shield of Hanno” was powered by ideals and willpower, and in theory, it was enough to transcend the gap between ranks and resist all attacks!
Duke Oran’s attack smashed into the shield condensed in front of Elishia with all his might. The golden ripples violently churned and then slowly cracked!
Ophi, who had just put Charle down and transformed back into human form, turned her small face and looked at Elishia, who was barely holding on under the blood-red light. Her expression became anxious, and she forcefully grabbed a black dragon scale from her skirt with her left hand.
Oran suddenly raised his face, his ashen blood-red eyes falling on the dragon girl.
“Genhold… you are actually colluding with Lancaster!”
Ophi was startled, and suddenly, cold and silent bloody flames formed a cage of blood around her, enveloping her and crushing her. The dragon scale that Ophi’s slender hand was tightly gripping, not as she intended, but instead erupted with black dragon flames in response!
Elishia’s wrist trembled, her beautiful eyes almost unblinking.
The power of Duke Oran’s strike far exceeded her imagination… Even the power of blood continued to stimulate the construction of “Shield of Hanno,” corroding and destroying it. Elishia had no confidence that she could hold on for another second!
“Miss Verafia, quickly find a way to leave!” Elishia said with her last bit of strength.
“Leave?” Ever since the sacred sword shattered, Verafia’s burning golden eyes had not moved away from Duke Oran for a single moment. She made a soft sound.
“Young Lady, do you have a way?”
Ig heard the girl’s voice and immediately turned his head to ask. Because of his strength, he had only been able to anxiously watch from the side of the girl since the beginning.
A subtle smile appeared on Verafia’s flawless jade-like small face, and the silk skirt slightly swayed without wind. The girl’s slender wrist, adorned with a red crystal bracelet, moved, and her turned beautiful golden eyes fell on the young man’s somewhat anxious face beside her.
She naturally had a way to leave this world formed by Oran’s residual consciousness! However, if she did that, wouldn’t all the effort she spent coming to Rubiel be in vain, and wouldn’t someone else benefit?
Verafia reached out her delicate, jade-like fingertips to lift a strand of hair, blinked her large eyes slightly, and suddenly, a smile appeared on her exceptionally beautiful face.
“Of course, there’s a way to leave from here. I said, this place is entirely formed by Duke Oran’s residual consciousness. In other words, the Oran you see is actually the incarnation of this world. As long as you defeat him, Ig!”
The girl’s crisp voice made Ig stunned. Ig looked at the girl intently a few times, but it didn’t seem like she was joking.
“Young Lady, you mean…” Ig’s voice trailed off. He felt a sense of unease from the gaze Verafia cast upon him.
“You really have to do your best this time. Ig, as my attendant, you have to work hard!”
The girl giggled like a silver bell, turning her head and shaking a few strands of hair, which brushed against Ig’s startled outstretched hand. The delicate touch felt like expensive and magnificent high-quality silk.
But Ig felt as if the brilliant golden sunlight he saw when he first met the girl was flowing.
The shield that Elishia barely held in front of Duke Oran’s sword shattered with a boom at this moment. The girl’s body was heavily injured, and she was pressed to the ground. The opponent then drew his sword.
Verafia’s turned golden eyes fell on the sword blade that Duke Oran had raised high, about to become a bloody torrent. Her small feet in small leather boots stepped forward, making crisp key sounds like a musical instrument.
“I didn’t expect it to be at this time… Never mind. It’s not a waste. Phoenix fire—Burn!”
As if murmuring to herself, a golden flame ignited from Verafia’s delicate body. The girl extended her white jade, lustrous, slender, and fair wrists, and the red crystal, which had already developed a fine crack, suddenly became incredibly bright!
