I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 689

Chapter 147 Scepter Turns Sword (Part 2)
Iget clearly understood that no matter how miserable the other party’s appearance was, if the heart of the frost calamity fell into the hands of a follower of the frost calamity, it would surely lead to complications.
Without any hesitation, End was drawn from his hand, and the dense starlight reflected a terrifying sword qi along the arc of the sword, like a wild tide of star flow, surging out.
“You want to kill me!”
Kaino, who had barely managed to stand, tightly grasped the heart of the frost calamity in his hand. Suddenly, he let out a ferocious roar. On his face, there was no trace of fear or timidity, only unimaginable madness.
“—You are, after all, just a mortal!”
Amidst the other party’s mad laughter, End’s Starflow Sword Qi Slash was upon his body.
In the dazzling brilliance, the terrifying power could easily crush any Platinum-ranked individual. However, Kainosimply roared with laughter, not even using Mistetinn’s Staff to block. With a mere sweep of his right hand, his chest was suddenly cut open.
A flicker of pain appeared on his face, but more prominently, an eerie arrogance. His right hand reached into the severed chest, and amidst the flowing blood, he suddenly grabbed a pulsing red heart!
Iget’s pupils suddenly contracted.
The beating heart was crushed in his hand, and foul blood splattered between his fingers.
A short black sword condensed from the foul blood and was held upside down. It was imbued with a strange, foul color and slashed down at the Starflow Sword Qi Slash wielded by End.
—Bang.
The turbulent star tide disintegrated in the line of blackness. End collided heavily with it, and the straight sword body emitted a trembling sound as if it could not bear the burden.
Iget’s True Sight Eye vision trembled. His left hand suddenly drew out a dazzling white light, which condensed into the phantom image of the Sacred Sword and slashed down at the viscous, black sword edge made of foul blood.
“As expected, it’s a fragment of destruction, the power of Disax!” he gritted out.
Iget also saw Kainoslay Bro, a Cardinal of Saint Rank, from behind with the shadow sword formed by the condensed shadow, without a doubt.
However, he could confirm that this power, similar to the Sacred Sword he once held to seal the Star God of Destruction, did not originate from the other party, but from someone else entirely.
Undoubtedly, the existence behind Kainos, wielding the power of Disax, had refined his heart into a similar sword qi.
Perhaps, to prevent this power from killing Kainos, this sword qi formed from the heart’s blood was far inferior to the sword that killed a Saint Rank before, but it was not difficult to block him.
A bone-chilling, ear-piercing metallic clang emerged from the foul blood. Only after several breaths, when the starlight had dissipated, was it barely ground away under the phantom image of the Sacred Sword.
However, Iget’s gaze remained fixed on the opponent.
The knight youth’s chest, where his heart had been gouged out, still bore a terrifyingly dark gaping hole.
However, strangely, no blood flowed out. Strands of icy mist continuously overflowed, freezing layers of pale ice crystals.
This was the law of the frost calamity.
Iget had witnessed the battle between Kainos and Azer at the Knight Tournament. In the end, the red-haired young man’s sword ignited with Verafia’s flame, defeating the opponent.
At that time, Iget had seen very clearly that Kainos was desperately suppressing the power within his body.
—It was now obvious that what he had tried to hide was the unique law of the frost calamity, as a Frost Calamity Knight. Even after gouging out his heart, he was relying on this trace of law to maintain his vitality.
However, Iget certainly did not believe that the opponent crushing his heart was a random act. His eyes grew urgent, the End drawn out, dark radiance flowing along it, its sharp sword intent as if it could sever time and space before him.
This was the condensation of Oran’s “Sever” authority, the Sword of Severance!
However, even the sword light that severed time could not keep up with Kainos’s actions. A sinister grin appeared on his lips, and his left hand pressed the heart of the frost calamity forcefully into the gaping hole in his chest.
In an instant, white light and frost light flickered, and Kainos stood up from the ground.
The gaping hole in his chest was quickly filled with ice. The scepter he held was also covered in frost, blocking the descending End.
—Boom!!
A fierce collision tore through the surrounding prison cells and restraints, with sharp cracks spreading across the floor. It even seemed to make the ruined high tower shake.
However, Iget’s sword, which utilized the full power of his crystal and even unleashed the “Sever” authority, was sent flying without question. Frost spread along the long sword, as if trying to devour his entire body.
Iget’s wrist suddenly flicked, and the imprint of the Sacred Sword appeared, shattering the frost spreading along the long sword and his body. However, a flush appeared on his face, indicating that it was clearly not easy.
Across from him, Kainos slowly rose from the dense ice mist. The frosted heart in the gap of his chest flashed with a terrifying luster. Within the exposed ice crystals, layers of frost and snow precipitated on his skin, causing his bones and flesh to undergo horrifying distortions.
It was as if he had become an ice and snow monster born from the frost calamity, but his life aura was far beyond what such inferior frost creations could compare to. His Platinum-rank had broken through in an instant, advancing to Crystal, and was continuously climbing.
“I said…”
Kainos’s hand, with its inverted ice crystals, caressed the flame scepter, which was also covered in frost. His once handsome face now only appeared strange and twisted, and he grinned with a ferocious, arrogant smile:
“—You are, after all, just a mortal. How can you stop me, a god!!”
A law that no mortal could wield spread from his body, and frost condensed on the broken ground, as if to freeze the entire space.
But Iget gripped the hilt of his sword. On End, a brilliant golden blazing flame ignited, clashing head-on with the frost calamity. The law of flame, the origin of all fire, bloomed on the long sword.
“This flame… is so much stronger than the one on Azer.”
Even from more than ten meters away, Kainos seemed to feel the ice on his arm melting, and he couldn’t help but exclaim.
“As expected, you are the emissary of the rumored ‘Fire Saint.’ No wonder you can hold your own. But that old man Brolu was dismissive. Did he consider you, an outsider, a treasure instead?”
The light and shadow of the flames on End’s sword were reflected in Iget’s pupils. However, they were equally cold. He slowly raised End, and the divine chosen mark of flame on his wrist blazed brightly.
“Emissary of the ‘Fire Saint’? If the deity you are referring to is her, then that’s about right. However… regardless, with just you, you have the qualification to call yourself a god?”
As the divinely chosen of fire, Iget had his Goddess Princess.
In his eyes, what qualification did Kainos, who had fallen into a monster by using the heart of the frost calamity, have to call himself a god and compare himself to his goddess?
“Good. As expected of the emissary of the Fire Saint… However, such spirit will be even more exciting to me once I crush you!”
Kainos laughed instead of getting angry. He suddenly pulled heavily with his right hand, and a storm of wind and snow surged.
However, after the blazing fire on the scepter of Mistetinn in the other party’s hand was extinguished, frost condensed. He suddenly pulled out the straight and slender sword edge of the frost calamity, emitting a terrifying aura!
