Chapter: Chapter 475
The giant bird was heavily stunned by the lightning breath. Laeticia immediately seized the opportunity, lunged forward, and opened her massive mouth, viciously biting at the giant bird’s neck.
Golden flames surrounded the giant bird. Upon seeing Laeticia pounce, they immediately reacted, lunging towards Laeticia, attempting to block the black giant dragon.
However, without the giant bird’s control, how could they possibly stop the attack of a giant dragon god? They couldn’t even delay it for a moment, being brushed aside by Laeticia. At this time, the giant bird had still not recovered from its severe stun.
Thus, the outcome was decided.
“Roar!”
Sharp teeth tore through the trachea. Laeticia bit down hard on the giant bird’s neck. Elemental power surged from her body into her mouth, entering the giant bird’s body through her teeth and attacking it ferociously.
The searing pain finally allowed the giant bird to break free from the stun after its failed attack. It screeched, trying to escape the giant dragon’s mouth, but Laeticia, having finally seized this opportunity, wouldn’t let it go so easily.
Even with the flames attacking from behind, even with the skin on her back scorched, Laeticia did not loosen her grip. She knew that if they continued to struggle like this, she would be the victor.
The giant bird’s flames were not as damaging as its physical body. Now that she had suppressed the giant bird’s physical form, those flames were nothing to fear.
With its vital spot bitten, how long could the giant bird last?
One minute?
Or two minutes?
It didn’t matter, as she could definitely hold out longer than this bird.
Laeticia could even feel the burning pain as the giant bird’s blood flowed into her mouth. This indicated that she had indeed attacked the right spot. The bird was losing blood rapidly. As long as she persisted for a while longer, she would be the victor!
Biting down harder on the giant bird’s neck, Laeticia injected various elemental powers into the wound on the giant bird’s neck. Frost, lightning, storms, and sand and stones. The destruction these forces wrought within the giant bird’s body was no less than the external tearing.
Gradually, the giant bird’s struggles weakened. Its brilliant eyes became clouded. The heavy blood loss and severe internal injuries caused its resistance to gradually wane.
It seemed Laeticia was about to win…
“Die, die for me!” the giant bird’s resentful voice rang out again. “Let’s die together!”
High temperature, an extremely terrifying high temperature. An incredibly terrifying energy suddenly erupted from the giant bird’s body. Laeticia had to release her bite. If she continued, her mouth would likely be vaporized first.
“Self-destruction? No way!” Looking at the golden giant bird engulfed in flames, Laeticia’s eyes widened.
You’re too dishonorable for a BOSS. I was almost winning, and you’re pulling off a self-destruction move?
“Go to hell with me! You damned pest!” With a voice filled with endless resentment, the golden-red eyed giant bird let out a long cry towards the sky. Its wings, injured by Laeticia, exploded with a boom, transforming into pure golden flames.
“Die! Die! Die!”
Its body gradually transformed into flames. The giant bird continued to wail, its terrifying, ghost-like cries echoing in the space.
The temperature continued to rise, and even the previously firm ground showed signs of melting, forcing Laeticia to take to the air.
What to do now? Is there any way to stop this guy from self-destructing?
Laeticia thought despairingly. Although she wouldn’t die, if she couldn’t stop the self-destruction, she’d probably have to fight this guy all over again later.
Having finally beaten it to near death, and now having to deal with this. This bird is truly disgusting.
Perhaps the Dragon God was crippled like this back then. That person was just a madman who didn’t care about his own life and wanted to take you down with him. No one could have dealt with that.
The giant bird had now completely transformed into its flame form. It had lost its physical body, and the only thing left was its resentment towards Laeticia.
This resentment drove the terrifying flames, formed from its divine body, vowing to thoroughly kill Laeticia, the enemy, here.
Wait…
Resentment?
What drove these flames was divine will!
I don’t just possess the power of the Dragon God!
I also have a certain authority, an authority that belongs precisely to the spiritual realm!
I just don’t know if this thing can work on this giant bird…
“We’ll try anything; it’s the only way now.”
Her giant dragon body couldn’t withstand these terrifying flames. The only thing that could change the situation now was her other authority.
“Huu, go into the dream properly!”
The black dragon’s body suddenly disintegrated, and a colorful light shot out from where the black dragon was, heading straight for the golden flaming giant bird.
“Die!” The giant bird also flapped its wings, charging towards the colorful light.
Clutching the black longsword radiating colorful light, Laeticia exhaled softly, “Success or failure rests on this single move.”
Raising the longsword above her head, she swung it down fiercely. A brilliant and dreamy seven-colored rainbow light slashed towards the golden giant bird.
The golden flames surrounding the giant bird reacted. They churned, trying to block the colorful light’s advance, but how could they block this sneak attack from the spiritual world?
Without the protection of its divine body, that wisp of will filled with resentment was completely suppressed by Laeticia, the Dream God!
Indeed, my dream authority was useless when you were at full strength, at most it could only control you a little. But now that you’ve abandoned your body and become like this…
Silver had said that losing one’s body was a serious injury for a god, and such an injury would naturally affect their spiritual power.
Now, the giant bird’s spiritual power was very weak.
And when dealing with targets with low spiritual power, the dream authority becomes effective. It’s good at bullying the weak!
The seven-colored rainbow light passed through the giant bird’s body. The giant bird, charging towards Laeticia with unstoppable momentum, suddenly stopped. Its voice full of resentment also came to an abrupt halt.
Under Laeticia’s full-force dream attack, the weakened giant bird was directly pulled into the dream.
Hmph, since you’ve entered the dream, then this is my home turf next!
With a slight curl of her lips, Laeticia closed her eyes.
She entered that bizarre space and immediately saw the only dream.
“Little cutie, are you ready to accept the baptism of nightmares?”
Reaching out towards the golden dream, Laeticia revealed a confident smile.
There were many things Laeticia could do to an enemy who had already been drawn into a dream.
It could be said that without much effort, she completely shattered the giant bird’s remaining consciousness. What do you call strong suppression ability from the top down!
Opening her eyes again, the golden flaming giant bird, having lost its dominant consciousness, had collapsed into shapeless flames. Laeticia knew she had won. She had successfully defeated this terrifying enemy.
As if to confirm her thoughts, under the interference of an invisible force, those flames disappeared. The ground, which had been pockmarked from the battle between the two giant beasts, returned to its original smooth state, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.
Some information appeared out of nowhere in Laeticia’s mind, allowing her to understand what kind of existence she had just faced.
It was a small sliver of time, a phantom of the Phoenix replicated by the Dragon God using her own authority. Only by defeating her could one gain the Dragon God’s recognition of her authority, and in the process of defeating her, ordinary people could also quickly master the Dragon God’s authority.
“Is the real Phoenix much stronger than that phantom?” Although she had defeated the Phoenix, Laeticia couldn’t be happy. Because the Dragon God’s final warning was that the real Phoenix was much more formidable than this phantom.
That flaming giant bird god would not be defeated by a single death. In duels between gods, repeated destruction and instant regeneration of the body were commonplace. The deadly battle between the Dragon God and the Phoenix was even more so. In the end, both of them had died and been resurrected nearly a hundred times.
It was precisely these hundred resurrections that had completely exhausted the bodies of these two gods, causing them to fall simultaneously after that great battle.
In other words, to defeat the Phoenix in its prime state, one had to kill it at least a hundred times, and its strength was much greater than this phantom that Laeticia had shattered…
My goodness, is this the true power of a god?
“But she’s in a weak period now. As long as I seize the opportunity, I can finish her off before she revives!”
Cracks appeared in the sky of the illusion. After completing its task, it began to collapse.
Laeticia stood still, waiting for the illusion to disappear. A few seconds later, her vision went black, and then a more real sensation appeared in her mind.
Oh, I’m back in the real world.
Her vision cleared, and the golden sword, which had transformed from the Dragon God’s authority, was in her hand. Laeticia felt that she could wield the authority within it with just a thought.
However, as long as she let go of the sword, Laeticia would not be able to use the Dragon God’s authority. This was perhaps because the Dragon God’s authority was not perfectly compatible with her.
“Forget it, this is fine too. At least my combat power in the short term is guaranteed.” Laeticia wasn’t too regretful. As long as she kept the sword with her, she would be a knock-off Dragon God, with considerable strength.
The golden sword was still a bit inconvenient to carry, and she already had her magic sword as her main weapon. Carrying another sword felt strange. Could this thing change its shape?
As soon as Laeticia thought of this, the golden longsword in her hand immediately began to change shape. After all, it was just a projection of her authority in the real world. Its shape was not important at all.
Soon, the golden longsword transformed into an exceptionally luxurious golden short staff at Laeticia’s request. As a mage, swinging a staff to cast spells was more fitting for her character.
The magic sword was, to some extent, a long staff. Coincidentally, Laeticia was in need of a short staff, and using the Dragon God’s authority to replace it was undoubtedly an excellent choice.
Holding this staff, she could use the Dragon God’s authority to control elements. If the situation turned bad, she could immediately transform into a dragon using Dragon Transformation, making her both offensive and defensive.
“This is much more convenient.” Twirling the Dragon God staff between her fingers, Laeticia tidied her clothes and planned to go outside the temple to take a look.
She didn’t know how long she had been here. Linglong must be waiting impatiently, right?
Thinking this, Laeticia stretched and slowly walked out of the temple, which had lost its master.
As soon as she pushed open the temple door, the four white-haired elders and Linglong appeared in Laeticia’s field of vision.
“Divine Being!” The elders moved remarkably quickly, immediately kneeling on one knee before Laeticia, placing their right hand on their left chest, and shouting with great reverence.
“Wait… what’s going on?” Laeticia blinked in confusion, casting a pleading look at Linglong, hoping the little dragon girl could explain the current situation.
Why were they calling her Divine Being?
Shouldn’t they first express their distrust towards her as an outsider, and then she would show them her skills and make them submit? This plot progression felt wrong!
“It’s like this, this morning…” Linglong, seeing Laeticia’s confusion, quickly began to explain.
The elders were naturally regretful and sorrowful over the passing of the Dragon God. However, they also knew that the Dragon God would eventually leave them. And regarding the successor chosen by the Dragon God, they had no objections. Laeticia was already a divine being, and it was already a blessing that she was willing to take over the messy affairs of the dragon race.
“The affairs of the dragon race are for you to handle. I merely made a deal with the Dragon God. She gave me some power, and in exchange, I will look after you for a while.” Laeticia quickly clarified that she was not the Dragon God’s successor, but that she and the Dragon God had a cooperative relationship. “As for this authority, when a suitable successor appears among the dragon race, I will return it to its rightful owner.”
Although she said that, it would probably be a very long time before Laeticia actually returned this authority. She wouldn’t give up this power easily.
“Alright, enough small talk. I sense that some unclean things have appeared in the Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range. It’s likely that the Dragon God’s demise has allowed her enemies to discover this place… Open the Dragon Realm, and I’ll go clean them up.”
Having suddenly gained such immense power, Laeticia was eager to try it out. Her dream authority, boosted by the Dragon God’s authority, had been upgraded a notch. Now, she could almost encompass the entire Sleeping Dragon Mountain Range within her sense of perception.
