The Dragon King’s body reformed a kilometer away,its maw gaping—an azure beam of annihilation erupting forth.
“Abyssal Death Ray!”
A breath capable of vaporizing entire cities.
Where it passed, even airborne water droplets froze into ice crystals,then shattered into dust!
Elizabeth didn’t block it.
She evaded—only to see the beam suddenly curve,aiming straight for the Hodyr!
“Go ahead—stand there and watch your kin scream as they die!”
Jörmungandr’s laughter was shrill, mocking.
It knew humanity’s fatal flaw:their obsession with protecting their own.
Dragons had no such weakness—self-preservation reigned supreme.
It didn’t care if the blast incinerated its own sea dragons.
Elizabeth’s brow furrowed slightly—but no panic showed.
As the death ray neared the Hodyr—her form split into twelve solid afterimages,each slashing at the beam with real, tangible sword qi!
Crack! Crack!
The twelve sword lights fused into a spinning ring,grinding the dragonbreath down until it dissipated completely.
But the afterimages didn’t vanish.
They redirected—slashing Jörmungandr’s body in unison.
SCHIIINK!
Scales shattered, dragonblood sprayed!
Feeling his wounds deepen,
Jörmungandr knew staying meant suicide.
He dived into the ocean,activating Deep Sea Stealth—his aura vanishing like a ghost.
Elizabeth remained calm.
She’d anticipated this.
Ancient texts spoke of his uncanny concealment.
Once active, even her Emperor-tier senses could only vaguely trace his location—never pinpoint it.
So she’d prepared a countermeasure.
Overwhelming firepower.
Carpet bombing.
More precisely:Saturate his suspected zone with relentless sword qi!
She multiplied into twelve figures again,
each unleashing cataclysmic sword beams into the sea.
Countless sea dragons perished in the crossfire.
On the Hodyr’s deck—chaos reigned.
Black Dragon was driven back by Alice, Kristine, and Irena.
His black attire clung to him, soaked in rain and sweat,his once-cold eyes now frantic with frustration.
Stripped of 10 levels—from Peak Top-Tier to High-Tier Peak—his power had plummeted.
Logically, even weakened,his battle-hardened experience should’ve let him dominate.
But his opponents were no ordinary girls.
They were Empire’s brightest prodigies—fighting in perfect synergy,amplified by the torrential rain—a natural domain for elemental mages!
Rain fell like a collapsed sky,weaving a liquid net in the air—
Irena’s ultimate weapon.
At the battlefield’s edge, she raised her staff—rainwater bending to her will.
“Ice Prison!”
White light spread—puddles froze instantly,coating the deck in slick ice.
Black Dragon’s foot slipped—and the moisture on his boots froze solid,locking his movement.
Before he could shatter the ice,
Irena struck again:
“Lightning Lash!”
A violet bolt split the sky—not as powerful as Jianye’s,but perfectly aimed at the rain around him.
Electricity surged through the water,engulfing Black Dragon in crackling current.
Zzzt!
His body jerked,
his clothes singed with burn marks.
“Insignificant tricks!”
The shocks barely hurt—but they infuriated him.
He kicked free of the ice,shaking off the lingering current.
Then—
“Tenfold Fireball!”
Kristine’s assault dwarfed Irena’s.
Ten blazing orbs streaked through the rain,exploding with searing force,forcing Black Dragon into desperate evasion.
He could tank Irena’s spells,but Kristine?
She was a Level 50 Cleric—yet instead of healing,she unleashed high-damage offensive magic with terrifying mastery!
“Thorn Cage!”
She cast the same high-tier spell as Purple Dragon—
then added: “Venom Vine!”
Thick emerald vines erupted—now laced with poison,turning violet as they coiled around Black Dragon’s ankles!
Snakes of death—trapping him off-guard!
“Now, Alice!”
Kristine’s voice cut through the storm.
Even while casting,she channeled support to Alice—
a testament to her genius.
Her staff glowed—red and green light enveloped Alice!
“Hymn of Holy War!”
A mid-tier Cleric Divine Skill—granting massive strength and speed buffsbased on the caster’s mana.
With Kristine’s reserves,
Alice’s power surged by 5 full levels!
Her attacks grew even more ferocious—her enchanted blade forcing Black Dragon into frantic parries.
He was miserable—bound by toxic vines,hound by Alice’s relentless strikes.
“Heaven-Sundering Slash!”
Alice compressed her sword qi to its limit,
unleashing a beam capable of piercing adamantium!
CLANG!
Sparks erupted like a meteor shower as
Black Dragon’s dagger barely deflected the strike.
The collision shook his bones—costing him dearly to shatter the blade-light.
The battle raged on.Alice, the frontline warrior,kept Black Dragon locked in melee.
Every wound she took—Kristine’s healing glow mended instantly.
Green light sealed cuts before they bled.
Now, Alice’s sword lunged for his chest again,weaving seamlessly with Irena’s elemental disruption andKristine’s magical bombardment.
The trio formed an inescapable web—trapping Black Dragon in a storm of steel, ice, and fire.
He was stunned.
Three girls… have me cornered like this?
They couldn’t kill him—but he couldn’t break free either.
In a brief lull,he lashed out with a black energy wave,forcing Alice back.
His eyes scanned wildly for an escape—while checking on his comrades.
