I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 695

Chapter 15 High Quality Mistetinn’s Staff and Heart
Amidst the roars, shattered frost laws splashed and melted by the firelight.
Even though Mistetinn’s Staff was completely covered by solidified law fragments, and even though its casual swings could easily kill any Platinum Realm, its threat was significantly reduced compared to the beginning.
The sword blade drew strange arcs, slicing through the gaps between space and the biting wind and frost. The sword of heavenly flame with golden feathers, “End”, clashed with it, resisting the might of the frost calamity pouring down.
Looking at Kaino, who had been devoured by the laws of the frost calamity in just a few minutes, resembling a monster that was neither beast nor human, an apparition condensed from frost, Ig’s eyes flickered with a trace of pity.
However, Ig had a bad impression of this young man, who was once a knight but whose true identity had long been a spy planted by the Frost Calamity Cult.
He still remembered how Kaino, who had initially displayed himself as an elegant gentleman, had looked at Verafia with a smile, his gaze subtly hiding an emotion that made him very uncomfortable.
Recalling it now, it wasn’t possessiveness towards the exquisite young girl, but rather, a kind of greed for her.
“Even if she doesn’t know her Young Lady’s identity… this guy had the thought of devouring Veer back then. Could it be that the God behind the Frost Calamity truly intends to devour Veer to complete Himself?”
Ig’s thoughts sank. He remembered how they had ended up on this continent – they had even been attacked by the Frost Calamity on the very first night.
Verafia had told him that after the Frost Calamity, there was indeed a true deity, but not a complete one. However, his Young Lady happened to be a true Goddess Princess as well.
—A goddess with a divine position but no divine power, before a deity waiting to complete himself, perhaps even a perfect divine spark could not compare to her.
His palm unconsciously tightened on his sword.
If that were the case… a deity awaiting awakening, greedily coveting his girl, this would be the worst outcome.
At this moment, Kaino, who had completely devolved into a demon, gripped Mistetinn’s Staff with his newly grown sharp ice claws.
Suddenly letting out a sharp scream, the monster’s ear-piercing voice seemed to mock and sneer. The raised Mistetinn’s Staff had been frozen into a greatsword by the frost, and he swung it down!
A golden flame light suddenly slashed.
In the young man’s hand, the magnificent feather sword, as if burning with phoenix feathers, blazed brilliantly. Several astonishing sword techniques such as “Flowing Light Heavenly Gap”, “Shattering Destruction”, and “Night Fire Heavenly Downpour” instantly erupted, drowning out its frenzied howls.
The golden flames ignited, and the three sword technique glows intertwined, twisting towards the monstrous body of the frost-infused creature. Cold blood flowed from the wounds, and even the arm that held the greatsword was severed.
“Roar!”
In pain from the blazing fire, the ice and snow monster roared madly. At its wounded断面, the overflowing law fragments continued to spread like solidified frost, reconnecting the severed arm.
Mistetinn, turned into a greatsword, swung down towards his face.
With all his might, Ig swung his sword, his raised azure eyes falling upon the descending sword shadow.
Even though the greatsword had assimilated the frost with the laws of the frost calamity, through the True Sight Eye, he could see that within the long and elegant scepter, there faintly emanated an extremely profound concept that he could not understand at all.
“Young Lady, it’s impossible she doesn’t know the Frost God’s intentions towards her… but she insisted on staying in Vinash City, disregarding the danger. Could it be because of this staff?”
Ig suddenly thought of this.
Compared to when she was betrayed by Lancaster and transformed into a girl, Verafia was much easier to get along with. She had become someone who could like and feel sad, a true girl, rather than a detached and absolutely rational Goddess Princess.
However, she was by no means a girl who acted on emotion.
The greatsword of ice fell heavily, about to strike his body.
“Moreover, Veer said earlier that whether she delayed or even killed Kaino made no difference. But she still rushed over, disregarding the danger…”
Although he had barely managed to withstand Kaino’s attack earlier, he had still heard the conversation between Shiel, Azer, and the girl.
It was only now that he had time to ponder it.
Outside the Inquisition’s hall, the battle between Irene, Tais, and others and the Frost Calamity cultists was nearing its end. The Silver Moon Elves had broken free from their enemies. The thin sword reflecting the moonlight unleashed moon magic, striking the blocking barrier with all its might. The light curtain trembled, as if it would shatter at any moment.
At that time, he was at a disadvantage, but holding on until Irene and Ain arrived was not a problem.
“Veer, using Little Niya’s magic to fight, besides worrying about me, are you afraid that Shiel and the others will get Mistetinn’s Staff? After all, it’s their sacred relic, and Young Lady might not be able to get it.”
This thought flashed through Ig’s mind.
“But if that’s the case, why did Young Lady say it was meaningless…”
As if the greatsword of ice was about to engulf him, Ig felt a strange, bone-chilling coldness. He also recalled the sudden sense of unease he had felt earlier.
“Burning Starfall!”
A line of flame magic instantly struck the monster’s arm in front of him. In the erosion of the Frost Heart, even though Kaino’s power was constantly increasing, his body was far more fragile than before.
The monster let out a miserable roar, and the brilliant spell blew its arm into pieces. The frost-frozen Mistetinn’s Staff was tossed high.
Ig breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, in the space, the fierce sound of a halberd clashing with ice and frost crystals boomed.
The knight, covered in frost on his armor, clashed with the dragon girl wielding dazzling ice crystals with a halberd. Ophelia’s exquisite skirt armor was torn and ragged, and even many of her delicate scales had fallen off.
Clearly, not yet at the Star Realm, even within a few minutes, it was still extremely difficult for her to hold back Trist.
“Ig, Veer, be careful!”
Ophelia suddenly shouted in panic. On the opposite side, the knight’s armor was cut by the frost dragon spear and pierced through the chest. With a muffled groan, he endured her attack.
The power accumulated on the long halberd not only sent Ophelia flying but also pushed Trist himself towards Kaino, who had been almost blown to pieces by the earlier fiery explosion, and the place where Mistetinn’s Staff was.
Ig’s pupils constricted sharply. Trist intended to seize the Frost Calamity’s Heart within Kaino’s body and Mistetinn’s Staff in the final moments before Irene and the others broke in?
Verafia tightened her grip on the girl’s small hand. The staff in her right hand began to emit light.
“Little Niya?”
“Mhm, Sister Veer… it’s okay!”
The red-haired girl’s delicate face was a little pale from the excessive consumption of magic, but she still nodded forcefully.
In almost the blink of an eye, Trist’s halberd knocked away Shiel and Azer, who were blocking him.
Even Ig was heavily struck by the Knight Commander’s halberd, and with a “boom”, he was sent flying and embedded in the wall of the ruined tower.
The sharp halberd tip was almost touching Kaino’s incomplete body, but with the sound of the heart, which was emitting frost-blue light and pulsating continuously, Kaino’s body was healing and repairing at a visible rate.
— It’s just the last part… (Deathline charge, can’t finish writing… )
