I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 694

Chapter 152: Degeneration
Although the ice and snow approached, the sword blade formed from Mistetinn’s Staff, capable of slaying gods, condensed a great threat, but Verafia was not frightened.
She knew that her young man, although injured, was behind her.
The next moment, a dazzling sword light streaked across her back, condensing the End Sword Blade of “Severing” and “Destroying,” which cut through the End without obstruction. The straight sword light struck a frost-blue line that blocked its path.
“Kid, you’re courting death!”
Above the violently trembling End, Mistetinn’s Staff was forced to materialize. Kaino’s form was incredibly distorted, and his roar, filled with intense anger, stirred up the laws of the frost calamity as a storm howled.
On the frost-blue blade, layers of ice continuously spread, freezing the End. Suddenly, the surging frost-blue colors danced in mid-air, like the gaping maw of a ferocious beast, devouring the young man who was barely blocking in front!
A spark of fire flashed behind her. In the moment Igter blocked, Verafia calmed Nia’s surging demonic power, which was caused by the backlash. She raised her staff, and the cry of the Phoenix of Blazing Fire was clear.
The slender, magnificent feather sword lit up with golden flame like a phoenix’s cry. It pierced through, and after the frost storm, Kaino let out a painful scream. Instantly, the entire icy maw disintegrated, and the firelight became brilliant.
From the melting ice mist, Kaino retreated sharply, a terrifying wound torn open on his chest by the golden feather sword. The laws of the frost calamity continuously repaired it, but at the same time, the blazing fire also burned, destroying his vitality.
Igter’s arm trembled heavily as he lowered the End in his hand. He gripped the sword and shattered the spreading ice with a reverse press, but he forcibly pushed through the broken blizzard to approach the opponent. The sword edge flowed with radiance, and another stunning sword light spilled out.
He had been struck by Mistetinn’s Staff earlier, but with the Demon King’s bloodline and the Creation Divine Spark, his life force was no weaker than Kaino, who had devoured the heart of the frost calamity.
In just a few breaths, the wound left by Mistetinn’s Staff had healed at a visible rate, and even most of the fragments of the frost calamity laws remaining were either eliminated or suppressed.
At least, for now, it would not affect his combat strength.
“You think you can deal with me?”
Kaino angrily shattered the sword light with a claw. His chest roared like a frost-covered behemoth, and fragments of laws scattered in the air amidst the shattering ice storm. Each sharp ice shard was enough to kill a Platinum-level cultivator.
“Of course, I don’t need to kill you myself…”
His azure blue pupils opened the True Sight Eye, and strands of sword light from End poured out from his hand.
A few overflowing fragments brushed past him, leaving behind gushing blood, which was then healed by the life force within his body. Only a slight pain was left on his face, and it was immediately concealed.
Igter had naturally not intended to kill him. In the young man’s heart, he only needed to hold off the enemy in front of him as much as possible, so that his attacks would not affect the young girl behind him.
Instantly, the radiance of fire filled the frosty world. It was Verafia’s law, the “Incineration” of blazing fire, which she cast through her chanted spell.
A burning star, scorching the concept of time, struck Kaino in the blink of an eye. Kaino, who had unleashed all his laws and was unable to resist, was hit.
Boom boom—!!
“Igter, this guy has long been eroded by the heart of the frost calamity!”
Verafia’s voice reached Igter’s ears amidst the roaring flames: “In essence, he is an avatar of the frost calamity, and all the ice and snow in the sky are his life. Unless his core, his laws, are harmed, significant damage cannot be inflicted.”
Igter’s eyes narrowed slightly. The End Sword Blade he raised, originally radiating brilliant pure white and deep night light, was extinguished. Instead, golden flames, magnificent and as if incinerating everything, emanated from it, just like the girl’s spell.
If Verafia were to personally wield the sword techniques she taught him, reaching the pinnacle might not be difficult to damage true forms, even deities. However, it was obviously impossible for Igter to do so now.
Golden flames spread across End. The slender feather sword fluttered elegantly like phoenix wings, and endless blazing flames ignited.
Kaino had just struggled to get up from under the burning star, his entire body miserable from being scorched by the flames. Immediately, a sword light reflecting the golden flame descended. His originally ferocious and resentful gaze turned to one of extreme terror.
— *Ching*
Dazzling golden light descended with the sword light. The ice claws blocking his path were cleanly severed. Magnificent flames burned upwards, and the searing pain caused him to cry out miserably again. Mistetinn’s Staff was swung instinctively, but it did not strike the young man.
The spell that erupted from behind him once again illuminated the dark night, shattering the frost calamity laws that were about to approach Igter.
The sword Qi he swung melted the shattered ice and snow. Even though he couldn’t see the girl behind him, a gentle smile curved Igter’s lips. However, with his True Sight Eye raised, even from ten meters away, he once again slashed at the enemy’s chest.
The Phoenix Feather Heavenly Flame Sword, condensed and formed by the girl’s authority, was wielded by him. It did not even need to be close, as each strand of sword Qi contained the power of the flame law.
Even the flesh and blood formed by the frost calamity were easily torn apart under the attacks of sword Qi and the blazing flame spell. The heart of the frost calamity repaired Kaino’s injuries again and again, but it increasingly transformed his form into a pure demon-human, a monster.
Even his large eyes, which occasionally showed traces of human rationality, were completely covered by the color of frost, leaving only the ferocity of a wild beast!
“Has he truly fallen into a monster under the power of the Frost God?”
Igter withstood one of his attacks. His azure blue pupils gazed at Kaino, who was roaring, gripping Mistetinn’s Staff, and attacking wildly. In his eyes, the once handsome young knight showed no trace of his original self.
Compared to his initial state, the enemy in front of him had a significantly weakened life force. Obviously, Kaino, who was far from being a true demigod, could not completely withstand the combined attacks of him and the girl.
However, in the past few minutes, his strength had instead been increasing. Clearly, while the heart of the frost calamity was repairing his body and vitality, it was accelerating his assimilation… He could now even be referred to as “it.”
— *Bang*.
Igter blocked an attack aimed at the girl behind him. The sound of shattering frost echoed. This time, it only made his arm sink.
Although Kaino’s strength was increasing, compared to the initial Kaino, he had lost his human rationality and was releasing his power like a wild beast, making him much less threatening.
In the beginning, Kaino, fully unleashing the power of the frost calamity and Mistetinn’s Staff, had put him in peril within minutes. If not for the girl behind him, he would have almost perished.
Compared to now, he could withstand an attack from the opponent with only minor injuries.
However, Igter still had a faint premonition of unease.
