Chapter 66: The Battle of Dragon

An extremely dull sound of flesh colliding rang out.

The sound was not loud, but it possessed a strong penetrating power, causing the ears of the distant Church soldiers to ring.

Then.

No one could believe what they were seeing.

The Ice Snow Dragon, a body as massive as a small mountain, was knocked off balance by this delicate figure.

Its four thick dragon claws gouged several deep trenches into the snow.

Its enormous body also tilted to the side from the impact.

And that single tilt.

Directly interrupted the Ice Snow Dragon’s Dragon Breath charge.

The ice-blue orb of light about to be fired from its throat exploded directly in its mouth due to the chaotic flow of energy.

Bang!

A thick plume of black smoke immediately billowed from the Ice Snow Dragon’s mouth.

It was violently choked by its own Dragon Breath, and its massive head shook several times in succession.

At the same time.

The surrounding smoke completely dispersed due to the collision and the explosion.

Only then could the members of the Church Crusade Army finally see clearly.

The person who had knocked the Ice Snow Dragon off balance.

Was Deacon Dolores.

“It’s Deacon Dolores!”

“Why is she here? Didn’t the Archbishop forbid her from participating in the battle?”

The adjutant’s eyes widened, his jaw nearly hitting the ground.

“And… she can actually shake the Ice Snow Dragon?”

Even Augustus was stunned.

In truth.

Regarding Dolores’s true strength.

No one knew, except for the Archbishop and herself.

No one knew she possessed power comparable to, or even surpassing, the Elders.

The outside world only knew.

Dolores had the strength and qualifications necessary to serve as a Church Deacon.

After Dolores knocked the Ice Snow Dragon away, she performed a somersault in mid-air and landed steadily back on the snow.

She shook her slightly numb shoulder and looked up at the Ice Snow Dragon, which was still shaking its head.

The Ice Snow Dragon slowly stopped.

Its ice-blue, vertical pupils locked firmly onto Dolores on the ground.

It was utterly enraged.

A mere little thing.

Dared to interrupt its attack.

The Ice Snow Dragon raised its huge foreclaw and slammed it directly down at Dolores.

Before the dragon claw even landed.

The wind it kicked up had already compacted all the surrounding snow.

Dolores stood still, not moving a muscle.

Her right hand slowly extended to her side.

Strands of black and red light rapidly gathered in her palm.

The light continuously stretched.

Instantly transforming into a massive scythe.

The scythe’s handle was much longer than Dolores’s entire body.

Upon the pitch-black blade, there were no runes.

There was only the purest aura of slaughter.

Dolores gripped the scythe with both hands and looked up at the enormous dragon claw plummeting down.

“Whoosh!”

The next instant.

Her figure vanished from the spot instantly.

Boom!

The dragon claw slammed heavily onto the snow.

The ground immediately exploded, forming a huge, deep crater.

It had missed.

At almost the same moment.

Dolores had already appeared at the Ice Snow Dragon’s wrist.

She swung the giant scythe.

A crimson light blade over ten meters long arced through the air.

It struck the Ice Snow Dragon’s layer of blue scales with immense force.

Clang!

A deafening sound of metal clashing against metal rang out across the heavens and earth.

Countless sparks scattered in all directions.

Dolores only felt a sudden numbness in her arms.

The giant scythe nearly slipped from her grasp.

She focused her eyes and looked.

Only a shallow white scratch was left on the Ice Snow Dragon’s scales.

“Can’t cut through…”

This thought had just crossed her mind.

The Ice Snow Dragon’s other giant claw was already sweeping towards her.

Dolores lightly tapped the dragon scale with the tip of her toe.

Her entire figure once again turned into a streak of white light, instantly creating distance.

Immediately after.

An extremely fierce battle erupted between the one person and one dragon.

Dolores was incredibly fast.

Her whole body was almost nothing but a streak of white light.

The Church Crusade Army, standing far away, could not see her movements at all.

All they could see.

Was a white afterimage wildly weaving around the Ice Snow Dragon’s massive body.

Accompanied by dazzling scytheblade flashes, one after another, continuously striking the dragon scales.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The dense collision sounds merged into one.

It was like countless blacksmiths striking iron with their hammers simultaneously.

The Ice Snow Dragon was equally unyielding.

Although its frame was massive.

Its movements were astonishingly fast.

A casual tail sweep.

And the snowfield would split open with a huge crack hundreds of meters long.

A casual claw slam.

And the ground would have another bottomless giant pit.

The entire snowy plain was left scarred and battered by this battle between one person and one dragon.

Snow was sent flying.

Frozen soil was exposed.

The earth trembled incessantly.

The Church soldiers could not even stand steadily, having to support each other just to barely keep their balance.

“Who’s winning?”

The adjutant yelled to the brigade commander beside him.

The brigade commander stared fixedly ahead, shaking his head continuously.

“I can’t tell!”

“Lady Dolores is too fast!”

“But… that dragon doesn’t seem to have a scratch on it!”

Indeed, it seemed to have no injuries at all.

Dolores, while moving at high speed, silently calculated.

Up until now.

She had already delivered hundreds of slashes.

And each one had landed precisely on the same spot.

Yet.

She still couldn’t cut through that thick layer of blue dragon scales.

This dragon’s defense.

Was simply too unreasonable.

More importantly.

Dolores noticed.

The Ice Snow Dragon hadn’t been fighting seriously at all until now.

It was just instinctively swinging its claws and tail.

It hadn’t even used any magic.

To it.

She was nothing more than an annoying mosquito.

Dolores gritted her teeth and pushed her speed again.

She knew.

She absolutely could not drag this out.

Her stamina was ultimately limited.

But the Ice Snow Dragon’s power was unfathomable.

In mid-air.

Dolores suddenly reversed direction.

She raised her massive scythe and drove it straight towards the Ice Snow Dragon’s ice-blue, vertical pupils.

That was the only weak point she could think of.

However.

Just as she approached the Ice Snow Dragon’s head.

The Ice snow Dragon’s ice-blue, vertical pupils suddenly shifted.

They locked onto her firmly.

There was actually nothing but mockery in those eyes.

Bad!

Dolores’s heart sank heavily.

She wanted to retreat.

But it was already too late.

The Ice Snow Dragon didn’t even open its mouth.

It just violently spewed an extremely狂暴 icy elemental blast from its nostrils.

The blast was too fast.

Its coverage area was too large.

Dolores had nowhere to dodge.

She could only raise her giant scythe to block in front of her.

The next second.

Her small body was directly blasted away by the icy torrent.

Like a cannonball, she traced a long parabola through the air.

Boom!

Finally, she slammed heavily into the snow.

Plowing a massive trench hundreds of meters long.

She didn’t stop until the very end.

The battlefield.

Fell into instant dead silence.

All the soldiers of the Church Crusade Army stared wide-eyed.

Looking at the figure lying in the snow crater in the distance.

“Lady Dolores!”

The adjutant exclaimed in shock.

Dolores lay face down in the snow.

Her entire body was in agonizing pain.

She felt as if all her internal organs had been dislocated.

She used her last ounce of strength to forcefully stab her giant scythe into the snow.

Using the handle for support, she slowly rose to one knee.

“Cough… cough…”

She coughed violently twice.

Blood dripped continuously from the corners of her mouth.

Drip.

Drip.

The bright red droplets of blood splattered onto the pure white snow, incredibly conspicuous.

Her once pure white priestly robes were also torn in several places.

Stained with dirt and blood.

Dolores gasped for air.

She slowly raised her head.

And looked at the distant Ice Snow Dragon.

The Ice Snow Dragon looked down at her from its lofty height.

Dolores knew clearly in her heart.

She…

Couldn’t win.

This was simply not an existence that humans could oppose.
