I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 274

Chapter 274 Chapter 68 Twin Greatswords (Part 2)
The brilliant gold blazing fire was like a raging torrent, slashing between the maiden’s slender white hands, interspersed with icy air currents and blood-red demonic power fluctuations, all crashing down upon the swordsman figure beneath the dark curtain.
Verafia’s slender hand condensed the fire of the shining sun into a blade that crashed with a bang against the dark greatsword before her. Instantly, the blazing flames ignited, burning on the swordsman’s dark body.
“You guy, why are you so resilient!”
Verafia gritted her silver teeth, annoyed. Although the opponent was clearly at a disadvantage, no matter how hard she, Ophi, and Flarn attacked with all their might, the dark greatsword in the opponent’s hand, in its defensive state, was like a heavy black mountain, solid and stable, difficult to break through even a little.
Verafia was already using almost all of her demonic power outside of her true form… and in her human form, such a level of consumption could not last long.
“A familiar aura of sacred light; I never thought the steps of the Knight of Sacred Light would still be so swift even now.”
Suddenly, the greatsword that the swordsman used to block Verafia’s shining sun sword blade trembled, and a hoarse voice came from his face, cloaked in dark demonic power. Obviously, he also sensed the swift approaching aura of sacred light from the other side.
“Hey, you don’t need anyone else! I alone can handle you!”
Verafia raised her jade hand and slashed him across the face with her sword. The brilliant sword light reflected on the maiden’s flawless jade face. With her other hand, she condensed flame elements and waved them forcefully in mid-air, pouring down the scorching demonic power condensed into blazing fire, a mix of shining gold and crimson, covering half the sky.
The swordsman’s face, which was lifted, looked at the maiden within close range, remaining silent. Suddenly, he raised his right hand, and the bursting demonic power blasted Flarn away. The heavy sword, as imposing as a mountain, was raised in reverse grip, revealing its offensive sharpness!
“Boom!”
Shattered flames burned in the air like meteors, falling to the ground. Verafia, holding her sword in reverse, landed on the ground. The slender white hands pressed against her chest instantly condensed a shield. The magnificent flames trembled violently under the impact of the sword’s residual waves, withering and annihilating one after another.
Verafia forcefully raised her head. Her snow-white jade face, illuminated by the residual firelight, did not show fear but joy. She shouted loudly:
“This guy is trying to escape! Hmph, he destroyed a whole village and stole my things. How can I let you have your way! Ophi, stop him!”
The swordsman opposite no longer used his previous defensive tactics, meaning the greatsword that had been troubling them so much was no longer a threat. Ophi, of course, was well aware of this. The frost demonic power on her body became dazzling, and the dragon spear held in her slender jade hands was thrust heavily!
The frost spear collided with the greatsword, and the swordsman stepped back, bearing the impact and the fully released demonic power of the ice dragon maiden’s outburst.
However, the swordsman did not turn back to defense. He pressed one hand on the greatsword embedded in the ground, then suddenly shifted to the side, allowing Ophi’s frost spear blade to pierce his body, while the dark greatsword slashed through the blood demonic power and frost ice shards bound in mid-air.
The greatsword surged with powerful demonic power, attempting to break through Ophi and Flarn’s obstruction with a fierce attack during the interval before Verafia returned!
Ophi’s magnificent spear blade was raised to block the dark greatsword’s slash. Suddenly, she lifted her slender hand, and the exquisite, petite dragon horns flashed with crystalline demonic power. The delicate body, outlined by the frost armor, with its fine, exquisite dragon scales, flashed with demonic power and covered her snow-white skin. She suddenly soared from the ground, transforming into a frost ice dragon over ten meters long!
“Boom!”
After Ophi transformed into her true dragon form, her sharp dragon claws were covered with hard ice. With the enhancement of demonic power, they heavily blocked the dark greatsword’s attack.
With a loud bang, Ophi’s dragon claw attack only slightly slowed down the dark greatsword’s slash, but instead, it cut wounds on the dragon’s claws, leaving dragon blood stained with frost blue.
However, with this, Ophi’s slender and elegant ice dragon body was able to raise its dragon wings and shake them, and the icy demonic power generated intense blizzards in the air.
Under the enhancement of the blizzard domain, the frost ice dragon swung its tail, pushing Flarn, who had also been shaken away, away from the attack range of the dark greatsword. At the same time, it raised its beautiful dragon head towards the dark greatsword and the swordsman behind it, spewing out terrifying frost dragon breath!
Since obtaining the inheritance of the Underworld Frost Dragon in the Abyss of Deathly Stillness, Ophi’s breath has improved the most so far. Even now, she could undoubtedly freeze several high-level stars into ice sculptures.
The extreme frost breath even froze the surging dark demonic power all over the swordsman, and layers of frost ice solidified on the dark greatsword, freezing half of his body!
All of this happened in a mere instant. Verafia, who had just picked up her sword again and returned to the swordsman’s side, looked with her blazing gold eyes at the swordsman, whose body was half-swallowed by the frost breath and who had no time to defend. She finally let out a triumphant laugh.
“Little ice dragon, you did a great job!”
Following that, the shining golden demonic power on the long sword condensed from the shining sun fire reignited, and the surging golden demonic power cut through the flowing light, like feathers of burning gold fire, magnificent and scorching!
“Brilliant Sword Edge!”
Verafia held the golden sword blade with her jade hand, and a curved sword light pierced the night, directly striking the swordsman frozen by frost ice.
The scorching, blazing gold fire erupted with a dense, almost pure golden light. The golden light extended for dozens of meters, swallowing all the dark demonic power and the deepest night!
In the fierce demonic power collision, time seemed to stand still. For several breaths, everyone saw the substantial golden light gradually recede. The ground within dozens of meters was scorched by fire, and where the sword edge struck, a giant crater, as if hit by a falling meteor, appeared.
However, in the reflection of the residual firelight, Verafia’s snow-white jade face showed an expression of not only solemnity but also disbelief.
Under the brilliant gold sword blade, the swordsman’s right half of his body and the dark greatsword were still frozen by frost ice. The ice surface reflected the brilliance of the flames. Another greatsword, as large as a person, was pulled out by the swordsman’s left hand and held up against the flame sword edge.
Another greatsword!
The beautiful flame’s afterglow permeated the silver frost like the splendid moonlight. On the ancient blade surface of the twin-bladed greatsword, there were traces of countless wear and tear. However, in the moonlight, the engraving clearly visible, carved by a stone knife, was the character “Wolf”.
“This sword…”
Verafia’s eyes fell on the ancient greatsword that he was gazing at. Her tender lips couldn’t help but move, emitting a faint sound.
Verafia clearly knew that this sword had appeared almost out of thin air, cutting off her almost fatal blow of blazing fire. Moreover, the maiden was confident that she had never seen this sword anywhere. But, the moment she touched it, Verafia felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
The swordsman, whose body was still frozen as if sealed in ice, and whose body was still shrouded by a faint darkness, looked down at the ancient greatsword in his hand. Hearing his voice, it contained a hint of reminiscence.
“Flarn’s greatsword; I never thought I would draw it again.”
