I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 913

Chapter 154 Falling Into The Abyss
The End and the greatsword rang out, Ig and the Dark Swordsman’s figures clashed at the very center of the battlefield.
The Abyssal ripples exploded into purple-black light, gushing out instantly as the blades met. In just over ten minutes of combat, the entire space of the giant tree seemed to be leveled. Dense energy surged in mid-air, and countless plumes of smoke rose.
Hodrea held the dark blade firmly with one hand and raised it to slash. Ig met it with the End, and instantly darkness and fire parted. He retreated, and the roaring impact lifted the ground between them, utterly destroying it.
An ocean of pitch blackness surged with the greatsword in the swordsman’s hand, his gaze as cold as the dark night, flickering like a blade, it slashed directly at Ig’s retreating figure.
The edge of the greatsword seemed as light as a feather, clinging closely to Ig’s shadow. However, the surging demonic power was almost heavier than an ocean.
Where the black greatsword passed, space could not bear such heavy pressure and collapsed, with large, ferocious cracks of pitch blackness. A destructive gray aura poured in, rushing down with the greatsword, about to cleave into Ig’s body!
However, a line of ice blue also struck at that moment.
The Ice Dragon Girl, who had just been repelled, pierced through the vast darkness with her spear. Under the Frost Spear Aura of the Water Spirit, countless Abyssal demonic energies froze, and were twisted into powder by the biting cold.
The frost that surged with her poured down like a cold current, freezing the abyss behind Hodrea. Even the traces of time solidified in the frost.
Reflecting the brilliant luster of the frost spear on her gem-like, magnificent, crystal-clear dragon horns, Ophi raised her frost-blue pupils, stamped her foot, raised her long spear, and gathered dazzling cold light on the spearhead, thrusting down at the swordsman’s figure!
“Boom boom!”
The abyssal scene was almost shattered, but Hodrea raised his greatsword to block the spearhead that suddenly thrust down.
A crisp sound of spear and sword clashing rang out. With the surging ripples, biting cold spread across the sky, and the scattered frost seemed to have covered it with a thin layer of white frost.
However, the black greatsword drawn by the dark swordsman was like a falling dark galaxy. The condensed darkness devoured the ice and snow wherever it passed, and he slashed at Ophi with his sword.
The Ice Dragon Girl grunted, and the crisp sound of a bone breaking was heard. Although the spear and the power of the Water Spirit blocked the power of the dark greatsword for her, she was still sent flying, spitting out a bit of ice-blue blood as she fell onto the remains of the tree.
However, Hodrea did not take this opportunity to pursue her with his sword. He blocked with his other hand, holding his sword behind him.
Ig’s figure appeared, the End gripped in his hand, drawing a stunning arc. The judgment of “End of the Moment” that was once in Verafia’s hand reappeared in the long sword!
Golden sword qi was reflected in the brilliant sword light, cutting through Hodrea’s tattered armor. A stream of murky black blood followed the edge of the sword, evaporated by the light.
The next moment, the black greatsword in Hodrea’s hand blocked the End.
“This sword technique has been praised by my teacher… Ig, compared to last time, you have improved greatly in this sword technique.”
Hodrea’s cold pupils showed a rare hint of sharpness. Then, he dislodged his greatsword, crushing the sword light, and sparks flew as it collided with the End.
“It’s a pity that girl left—if this sword technique were performed by her, it would surely be more magnificent!”
As the other party slashed down, Ig’s blood and qi vibrated, and he was knocked back.
Although he had reached the peak of Star power, only a step away from the Sacred Domain—he had never truly entered that realm. The distance separating them was like an insurmountable chasm.
Not to mention that Hodrea also stood at the peak of the Sacred Domain, only a step away from legend.
In less than ten minutes of combat, even with Ophi’s help and borrowing Anderdun’s power, Ig was still in peril and extremely strained.
“I told you, you will not see the Young Lady again,” Ig said firmly, blocking with his sword.
A cold snort came. Hodrea’s worn cloak flapped, and an aura of black abyss surged towards him. Black sword qi condensed in his hand, pouring down like a long river of the dark night.
The sword light surged with terrifying prestige. At the same time, the Abyssal Domain concealed the sword light and contracted, restraining Ig like Hodrea intended to crush Ig’s body into powder with this blow!
A sound of metal swords clashing echoed in the silent time and space. Ophi had only just gotten up, and at the moment the blade was about to strike, she could not possibly provide support to Ig, who was under the sword light.
The black-haired youth drew his sword and slashed horizontally across the path of the greatsword’s movement. A dark Death Magic emerged from his body. At this moment, Ig suddenly let go of the demonic power borrowed from Anderdun.
The Death Magic surged again, and the entire sky that was bound was torn apart by the surging demonic energy. Anderdun laughed, spread his black bone wings, and condensed a death scythe, swinging it towards the swordsman to reap!
“Is this the demon soul hidden within your body?”
A hint of sharpness flashed in Hodrea’s pupils. The sword light of the two greatswords he swung at Ig flashed, turning towards Anderdun’s attack.
“However, without his power, boy, how do you expect to contend with me!”
After one blow, Anderdun’s phantom was sent flying. Hodrea’s two greatswords in his hand overlapped again and were cleaved down towards Ig’s figure.
But at this moment, Ig had already prepared his defense. The demonic power of Star surged, the black energy of the Demon King’s bloodline seethed, and the residual Death Magic of Anderdun all converged on the long sword, manifesting Eternal Darkness!
Like a beast’s roar, the two overlapping greatswords cleaved down. The heart of “Eternal Darkness” could not bear the terrifying power and shattered, the aftermath ripping across the surrounding land.
However, in Ig’s hand, the long sword of the End directly blocked under the greatswords!
The terrifying greatswords pressed down on the End and the End, but stopped at a certain boundary. The swirling smoke danced, and Ig knelt on the ground, but one sword blade held back the two greatswords that were cleaving down.
At the same time, the icy color surged again. Ophi had once again drawn her spear, her gaze anxious. The sharp point of the spearhead pierced through the surging demonic energy around, trying to force Hodrea to retreat once to save the suppressed Ig.
Hodrea raised his greatsword to meet her. In a few moments, the Ice Dragon Girl’s Water Spirit clone was broken by the greatsword, turning into a bubble, and the Abyssal ripples almost reached the girl’s throat!
Ig swung his sword again, “Ultimate End” and “Return to Silence” overlapping, forcing the swordsman’s greatsword to one side. He pushed Ophi away with force, and under the long-stretching shadow, the shadow of the other greatsword fell before his eyes.
With his knees landing heavily on the ground, Ig gritted his teeth and looked up at the silhouette of the swordsman.
The violent sound of metal friction rang out between the two swords. The figure of the black-robed swordsman slowly appeared. “Miss Verafia’s sword technique is astonishing, but it is not enough to defeat me.”
Hodrea looked at Ig’s face, his voice like grinding steel, suffused with coldness, but, like a beast hunting, his contracted pupils pulsed with terrifying excitement.
“Last time, you defeated me with that sword technique, show it to me!”
