Ice crystals splattered, and Lanssangx's vision was filled with a snowy white. The tiny ice crystals reflected the surroundings, making her eyes ache.
"Not enough? Then try this!" The Lady's clear, cold voice came through the swirling ice crystals.
Lanssangx now felt with extreme clarity that the 'element' in the air had begun to surge.
The shattered ice drifting with the wind in the Sky seemed to be pulled by some force; they broke free from the wind's restraint and began to gather and compress in the Sky.
Lanssangx felt the increasingly dangerous aura above her head and looked at the Lady not far away, who was glowing with a faint white light.
A smile tugged at the corner of her lips, "Nice move, but too slow!"
Her voice and Lanssangx's body appeared simultaneously in front of the Lady! The leaping lightning snakes on Lanssangx's arm were clearly reflected in the depths of the Lady's eyes.
However, the panic Lanssangx had expected did not appear; instead, the Lady in front of her also smiled at Lanssangx, a smile of mockery.
"Bang!" The "Lady" suddenly exploded, her body turning into scattered ice mist that fiercely rushed towards Lanssangx, who was still in the air.
Lanssangx in the air was unable to dodge in time and was blown far away. Fortunately, she was a dragon, and her balance in the air was not to be underestimated.
"Whoosh!" Another gust of wind sounded, and Lanssangx did not fall to the ground—she spread her wings.
Two pairs of miniature Ancient Dragon wings flapped behind Lanssangx. The Shitou-like hard dragon wings were surprisingly agile; they stirred up gusts of wind, lifting Lanssangx into the Sky.
"Slow? It's enough to deal with an old fogey like you!" The Lady was never one to suffer a loss; if Lanssangx mocked her once, she would definitely mock Lanssangx twice.
"This move was originally prepared for Stormterror, but I'll try it on you now!"
The Lady in the distance pressed her hands down, and the solidified giant ice spear in the Sky descended accordingly.
A biting chill began to envelop this land. Green leaves and grass were covered with a thick layer of frost.
In just a few breaths, this land transformed from late summer into deep winter!
"Click!" Lanssangx moved her foot, and beneath it was crushed frozen grass.
"Hah—" Lanssangx exhaled a puff of white air. She could feel the aura above her head, like an eagle's eye, firmly fixated on her. If she wanted to escape, it would probably be difficult.
However, she never intended to run!
"Old fogey? That's because there's nothing worth my serious attention, including you!" Lanssangx scoffed, then raised her arm.
"Boom!" This time, the lightning did not fall from the Sky but exploded directly from Lanssangx's hand.
Countless crimson lightning snakes intertwined and coiled, extending and shaping themselves, finally forming a giant lightning blade tens of meters long.
That was a weapon used by a dragon.
Lanssangx's blade—a Prayer that could display the power of the Ancient Dragon Lanssangx. It could summon a Red Lightning Blade, sweeping horizontally from the Sky, and the slashes would release lightning.
Lanssangx was Fuerssangx's older sister. It is said that she transformed into a human form, interacting with the priests and knights as a priestess of the Ancient Dragon faith.
Lanssangx, holding the giant lightning blade disproportionate to her human form, swung it directly at the ice spear falling from the Sky.
"Rumble!" The lightning blade met the ice spear, and countless bolts of lightning instantly surged. The ice spear, painstakingly condensed by the Lady, only resisted for a moment before being split in half by Lanssangx's lightning blade.
After splitting the ice spear, Lanssangx's momentum did not decrease. She changed direction, descended from the Sky with the lightning blade, and slashed towards the forest where the Lady was located.
"I'll die!" The Lady immediately felt her hands and feet turn cold. Her heart was telling her: If she was hit by this lightning blade, she would definitely die!
"I can't die!" The Lady roared lowly, and the long-suppressed power within her began to impact the solid ice inside her body.
"Click! Click!" The power of ice and snow was gradually repelled by the Lady's body. The powers she usually used were her shackles, shackles that suppressed herself.
Solid white, jade-like ice enveloped the Lady. Her surroundings grew colder and colder, yet inside her, it became hotter and hotter.
"Zzzzzboom!" The giant lightning blade struck the ground, instantly carving out a molten strip tens of meters long.
The scattered power of the lightning blade transformed into a glowing red lightning wall, sweeping from the molten strip on the ground towards the distance.
Wherever the lightning wall passed, sand melted, and trees carbonized. The fiercely Burning forest and the surging steam instantly became the only scenery on the bank.
"Oh no! Oh no!" When Lanssangx saw this, she didn't even care about the Lady's situation and rushed directly into the Burning forest.
She transformed her hands into giant dragon claws, constantly batting at the raging flames in the forest.
"Extinguish it! Extinguish it!" Lanssangx, holding two dragon palms larger than herself, directly slapped at any flame she saw.
Under her tireless efforts, the flames ignited in the forest were quickly put out.
Lanssangx looked at the charred ground in front of her, then at her own equally blackened palms, feeling like crying without tears.
She wondered if pulling off her dragon scales would be enough to compensate.
[Wait? Why should I compensate?] Lanssangx only then barely remembered the Lady.
When she followed the Lady, she found that this person was a rich woman, spending money without batting an eye. Such a rich person shouldn't care about this small amount of money, right?
Lanssangx was "forced" to regain her reason, completely forgetting that she had initiated the battle just now.
Worst case, she wouldn't bother with the Frenzied Flame inside her. Lanssangx felt that something must have gone wrong with her just now. With Yu Jin as a backup, what was she getting so excited about here?
Impulsiveness is not good! Lanssangx warned herself in her heart for who knows how many times.
Then she began to search for the Lady's figure. She was easy to find because, in a pile of ashes, the Lady's large ice lump was simply too conspicuous.
Lanssangx ran to the Lady's ice cocoon and examined it carefully.
The solid ice in front of her was different from any other ice Lanssangx had ever seen. It had a thickness that ordinary ice had never possessed.
Although it was ice, it gave one a feeling of being unbreakable. And in fact, it was.
Lanssangx touched the huge blade mark on the ice cocoon; it was what she had just split with her lightning blade.
The lightning blade, which could easily split the ice spear, left a shocking scratch on the ice cocoon, but it failed to shatter it.
Not only that, the ice cocoon was continuously absorbing ice element power from the atmosphere, constantly reinforcing and restoring itself.
During the time Lanssangx observed the ice cocoon, the blade mark on it had already repaired quite a bit.
Lanssangx looked at it and found it extremely strange. How did this ice cocoon look like it wanted to firmly trap the Lady within it?
"Hey! Can you hear me?" Lanssangx patted the surface of the ice cocoon, and a blast of extreme cold air seeped into her hand along her palm.
"Hiss—, so cold!" Lanssangx pulled her hand back and rubbed it. In just that short time, her hand had actually turned red from the cold!
"Don't be silent, okay? There was a reason I was following you just now. I see you're so rich, so don't be so petty, okay?"
"As long as you compensate for me, I'll apologize, alright?"
"Alright, alright, I apologize to you. You can finally come out now, right?"
...Lanssangx circled the Lady's ice cocoon a few times, but besides making herself colder, she gained nothing.
This made Lanssangx a little numb. Could it be that she had scared the Lady just now, and she was now sulking, deliberately not coming out?
"What a long second phase cutscene!"
"Wow! A ghost!"
Yu Jin popped out from who knows where, startling the worried Lanssangx.
"Ghost my foot! Even if there was a ghost, it wouldn't be able to beat you, okay!" Yu Jin knocked on Lanssangx's head. As an Ancient Dragon, she was afraid of ghosts?
A disgrace to the dragon realm, alright!
"King, how did you get here?" Lanssangx let Yu Jin knock on her head, asking in confusion.
Yu Jin withdrew his hand and rubbed it. As expected of an Ancient Dragon, knocking on her head was no different from knocking on Shitou.
"I just came back and felt your aura spreading, so I just came to take a look."
Yu Jin looked at the Lady's ice cocoon and said indifferently.
