Chapter 62, Chapter 55: Phoenix Catches Dragon
Intense storms of scorching heat and chilling cold directly sent Miss Verafia flying several meters away. She stood up, propping herself with her staff. The Frost Ice Dragon’s long and elegant body swooped down, its powerful tail flicking horizontally from beneath its crystal-like blue scales.
The sounds of flames burning and ice forming were torn apart in an instant as Verafia blocked the dragon’s furious tail whip with her staff. Her slender arm trembled, and her delicate body was forced back several steps by the immense force.
“Cough, cough, planning to use your ultimate move? But that’s fine too…”
Verafia took a breath. Her soft hair was swept up by the howling wind, and a gentle smile bloomed on her jade-white delicate face.
Just now, she had seen the dragon’s pupils, and consequently, she hadn’t gained nothing.
The Frost Ice Dragon flapped its wings and soared into the sky. The air temperature instantly froze. Water vapor dispersed and solidified into hard ice crystals, scattering with the gale. However, in an instant, they were melted by the flames surrounding the girl, turning into a slightly chilling breeze that gently touched her delicate face.
Verafia’s slender hand holding the staff slightly lowered. Instead of continuing the attack, she raised her scorching gold eyes to gaze at the Ice Frost Dragon dancing in the sky.
Endless cold winds froze, stirring up an icy storm around the dragon, sweeping layer upon layer. Under an extremely obscure, intangible will and insufficient magic, the weather of the entire space instantly changed, and ice-blue snow crystals fell.
In just an instant, the frozen deep blue ice in the sky began to rapidly condense and spread. The cold air dispersed by the flapping dragon was even enough to freeze the temperature of everything in the world.
Verafia revealed a faint smile of admiration. Even from a distance, the cold emitted by the ice crystals made her feel a long-lost chill.
The power frantically gathered by the dragon, in her eyes, was also extremely terrifying, fully capable of destroying all life within a hundred meters below.
She gently lowered her gaze to the staff held in her slender hand, and scorching gold flame light ignited.
“As expected of Gedohoya’s little princess, such a young dragon already possesses such power… It seems I can’t hold back either.”
Whispering softly, the young girl slightly raised her jade-white face. Her soft hair, like the radiant golden sun, was caressed by the wind, resembling the exquisite beauty meticulously carved by the gods. In her brilliant golden pupils, shining golden flames flowed.
The frost-blue ice storm was instantly burned away by the scorching gold blaze. The aura on the girl’s body surged rapidly, breaking through the Gold Rank limit in an instant. At the same time, an indescribable noble aura was born within her.
A pure gold flame appeared on her body, igniting.
In the blink of an eye, the place where the young girl stood transformed into a firebird bathed in pure gold flames. Its vibrant and beautiful feathers burned with crimson flames. She flapped her wings and sang, and beneath her wings, vibrant flames flowed.
The exquisite flame was imprinted against the backdrop of the ice crystal storm.
Within the frozen frost-blue storm, the flame divine bird burning with golden flames passed by, its rainbow light bright and dazzling. The scorching gold color was deeply imprinted into the deepest part of space, and from the shattered gaps, blinding golden flame light started to burn!
The deep ice melted, and space cracked… The slender ice dragon’s eyes were filled with panic. The immense kinetic energy generated by its flapping wings was unable to allow it to evade even by a single bit.
The blue ice crystals formed by extreme cold in front of the dragon completely dissolved upon nearing the golden flames. The brilliant solar flames burning from the Sun Divine Bird scattered brilliant gold light onto the ice crystal-like beautiful and clear blue dragon scales of the Frost Blue Dragon.
What human? This is clearly a phoenix! But even a phoenix shouldn’t…
For some reason, the Frost Blue Dragon first felt not fear before its fall, but a sense of wronged grievance, as if it had been deceived.
Magnificent flame light enveloped the entire sky.
The burning gold flame struck the Frost Ice Dragon. Instantly, a magnificent golden flame storm erupted. The golden light was hot and dazzling, almost overwhelming all colors in the sky.
The Blue Frost Dragon let out a mournful cry, and dripping blood fell from the sky. It flapped its wings and fled the storm sea burning with the phoenix’s solar flames. The burning gold flames that hit the ground continuously ravaged the entire earth.
As if time, which had solidified, began to flow again, the brilliant gold flames descended, and the girl with flowing gilded hair reappeared. The girl’s slender delicate body was lightly stirred by the cool flowing wind on her clean dress.
Verafia waved her hand, collecting the ice dragon blood she had gathered. She then slightly lowered her gaze, looking at the exquisite dragon scale, like an ice crystal, held in her small hand.
The young girl panted with some effort. She slightly raised her eyes, thinking of the black flame dragon in her memory, and suddenly shook her small head.
“A little blood from a descendant of Gedohoya should be enough… Cough, cough.”
Before she could finish speaking, the girl couldn’t help but bend over slightly and cough. On her youthful delicate face, after the flush of red, a slight paleness of weakness appeared.
“This dragon, was it necessary? I didn’t go for the kill, why so desperate to counterattack? If it’s not afraid of dying, fine… but it’s making me uncomfortable too.”
Verafia complained. If she weren’t afraid of the dragon killing itself, she wouldn’t have risked a backlash and ended up like this.
Originally, Verafia truly intended to kill this dragon. With the dragon’s origin essence blood and life crystal, even if Ig’s talent was poor, he would at least be able to improve somewhat.
However, now that she knew this Frost Dragon was indeed a descendant of Gedohoya, Verafia had naturally held back during the attack, only taking one dragon scale. Moreover, when facing the Ice Dragon’s irrational, desperate counterattack, to prevent the Ice Dragon from harming its origin, Verafia was forced to take a blow from the domain’s shattering impact, saving its life.
After all, Verafia did not want to incur the hatred of a legendary dragon, let alone an everlasting one, especially since that black flame dragon had some acquaintance with her.
Verafia put away the dragon scale in her hand. She slightly turned her gaze and saw Ig rushing over. A faint smile suddenly appeared on her youthful jade face. The girl’s delicate body suddenly softened.
Ig hurriedly caught the girl’s slender waist.
“Miss Verafia, how are you…”
Ig’s words stopped halfway through.
The girl’s delicate body leaned into his arms, as light as a thin feather. The originally blazing and dazzling aura, like the scorching sun, rapidly weakened.
On the young girl’s exquisite and beautiful face, only deep paleness remained.
“Ah, I’m fine. I just expended too much energy. I just need to rest for a while…”
Verafia said, forcefully lifting her small face. She also tried to stand up by herself with the young boy’s help. However, the girl’s weak strength prevented her from succeeding after several attempts.
Looking at the once vibrant phoenix young lady in his arms, who had become incredibly beautiful and delicate in her weakness, Ig felt like laughing and yet couldn’t help but feel heartache.
Ig was about to say something.
Suddenly, a footsteps broke the quiet atmosphere. Ig’s eyes widened sharply, and he hurriedly looked up.
