At the center of the Mystic Realm, the thick dust stirred up by the violent collision slowly dissipated.
The mountain-sized Demon Tree King had been scorched beyond recognition by golden flames. Most of the ferocious skulls on its trunk had also been knocked off by Selina.
Each one of those skulls required killing a Transcendent to obtain.
Kulun’s bloodshot eyes gleamed with madness. Decades of accumulation—ruined in a single day by a mere high-rank sorcerer little silver dragon.
“Hehehe, but soon, new heads will appear on my branches!”
Thinking this, he smugly looked at Selina, who was kneeling in a pool of blood, drenched in gore.
The silver dragon girl’s condition was clearly worse. She couldn’t even stand steadily anymore. Her pristine silver hair was stained with blood. Her cherry-pink feathers, like falling cherry blossoms, soaked one by one in the blood. Selina’s once rosy little face was now as pale as paper.
“That last move really startled me, Miss Silver Dragon. To think you could challenge a Master as a mere sorcerer. But this is as far as you go!”
Kulun opened his withered giant hand again. The remaining skulls at the top of the Demon Tree gathered black death rays in their mouths, aiming at the immobilized Selina.
Bale hid behind a boulder nearby, watching the execution, not daring to breathe. He had always believed that even if Luo Lin awakened his magic power, he would still be nothing more than a fool to trample underfoot. But that last attack completely shattered his illusion. The superiority he had built since childhood had to bow to reality.
Fortunately. The silver dragon lying in the blood pool was finally going to die.
“Hmph, Luo Lin. No matter how hard you try, what’s the use? Take the wrong path, and you’ll be crushed like a bug!”
He stared at the silver dragon girl in the blood with jealousy and anger, imagining her miserable appearance when the black death ray completely engulfed her.
At this moment, Selina was covered in blood. The pain was excruciating. All her bones felt broken. Her fragile internal organs were also bleeding. Blood streaming from her forehead stuck to her eyes.
Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier. The constant loss of blood made her body feel like it was falling into an ice cave. Her body temperature was slowly disappearing.
Even so, she still endured the excruciating pain and struggled to stand up. But her disobedient limbs slipped in the blood again and again. Her small body crashed heavily to the ground once more.
“Give it up, little silver dragon. If you keep fighting, you’ll really die!”
Lilith watched Selina falling repeatedly, her ruby-like eyes full of heartache. But this stubborn silver dragon seemed like she would never give up. Falling. And standing up shakily again.
“You can’t possibly defeat him anymore! A sorcerer can never overcome a Master! Even in the entire history of the Sera Continent, such a thing has never been possible!”
Lilith’s eyes reddened as she supported Selina’s swaying body. Then her gaze gradually grew firm.
“Surrender. Surrender to them! There’s no reason for them to reject a genius like you. ‘Thirty years east, thirty years west—don’t bully the young and poor.’ Only by living do we have a chance. If you keep fighting, you will die!”
Dawn light was faint. The east was about to brighten. The morning sun filtered through the rift in the sky, shining on Selina’s frail body, which seemed a gust of wind could blow over.
Finally, she forced open her crimson eyes and looked at Lilith, whose face was full of worry.
“Lilith—”
“Mm, I’m listening, Mama Selina.”
Lilith listened to the silver dragon’s faint voice, her heart aching so much she almost cried. She thought Selina had finally come to her senses and was ready to surrender.
However—Selina stood tottering under the rising sun. As if she might collapse at any moment. But her voice was unwaveringly firm.
“You mean… I can still fight, right?”
“Are you crazy? You will die! Aren’t you afraid of death?”
“Lilith. Some things are more important than life. Back then, when I had no magic, I was not afraid of the Cultists. Now, facing death, I am even less afraid! I will stand tall and face Selar!”
Boom—!
The surging death ray howled as it carried the power to destroy everything. It ruthlessly engulfed Selina’s battered body. Even the entire ground behind her was turned into ruins. Rolling dust instantly swallowed the silver dragon girl completely.
“This feeling… I definitely hit her!”
Finally, feeling his attack land, Kulun slowly sighed in relief. He had never imagined that one day he would be pushed to such extremes by a silver dragon born not long ago.
That he would have to completely abandon his human identity and merge with the Demon Tree King just to claim a narrow victory. But at least he still won.
In this world, ultimately, the strong reign supreme. What of geniuses? If they don’t know how to hide their edge, before they grow up, they are ultimately nothing.
Kulun’s arrogant laughter echoed throughout the Mystic Realm. But he completely failed to notice that Selina’s blood, which dripped onto him, was rapidly freezing at a terrifying speed. Like bloodthirsty ice.
“Alright. Time to admire my masterpiece. I wonder if that little silver dragon still has a complete corpse? Ahahahaha!”
Kulun sneered as he looked at the slowly dissipating black smoke.
However, the moment the dust completely cleared, his eyes suddenly bulged. His entire massive body trembled violently. He let out a sharp, terrified roar.
“No! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
Before him, Selina was not only not blown to pieces, she was even completely unharmed. No, to be precise, she had been completely sealed within a huge block of Blood Ice. The crystal-clear Blood Ice refracted magnificent lustre under the morning sun, like a priceless ruby. And at the center of that ice crystal, the beautiful silver dragon girl lay quietly with her eyes closed, like a princess sleeping in a crystal coffin.
Just moments ago—
“Selina, listen to me.”
Lilith’s little face tensed up as she looked seriously at the silver dragon girl who would rather die than submit. This was the first time she directly called Selina by her name. That showed the seriousness of the matter.
“I can use Blood Magic to forcibly stimulate your bloodline. It will make you immune to pain for a short time and even restore all your strength. But only for three minutes. Three minutes at most. After that, your body will suffer a violent backlash. The pain you will endure will be ten times what you feel now. If you can’t endure it, then you’ll only meet Selar in heaven.”
Lilith’s ruby-like eyes stared seriously at Selina. However, seeing Selina’s gaze as firm as a glacier, Lilith already knew the answer.
“Forget it. I was silly to ask.”
She waved her hands. Endless streams of blood-colored magic power crazily poured into Selina’s body.
“Trash lizard. You can’t lose!”
As Lilith’s Blood Magic continued to pour in, Selina felt all her dragon blood begin to boil. That heat kept warming her cold body. Her once silent heart began to pound with a loud Thump! Thump! Thump!, like a war drum roaring in a snowstorm.
Every drop of her blood turned into flowing magic power, rapidly filling her shaky body. Even the blood the silver dragon girl had just dripped on the ground instantly transformed into blooming Blood Ice Roses.
Finally, under the morning light, the silver dragon girl slowly opened her ice-blue eyes. Through the layer of crystal-clear ice, she looked straight at the panicked Kulun.
