MTLNOVEL Chapter 187
Chapter 127: Glimmer (Bonus Chapter)
Rebecca was burning, burning with unprecedented intensity.
The icy blue frost flames scorched her soul, body, the power of countless vengeful spirits, deep sins, and everything.
Her figure gradually blurred in the flames, transforming into a blue dragon over a hundred meters long, nearly obscuring the sky.
Every scale was distinct, appearing as if they were real, with arcane and frost powers swirling around the giant dragon, her aura continually rising, surpassing peak after peak!
As a fusion of the soul of a blue dragon, Rebecca, who was originally human, should not have been able to manifest a true dragon form. However, this strike burned all of her essence; it was a technique that gambled her life in the truest sense, enabling her to forcibly reconstruct the body of Aaliyah in her complete state using pure massive energy.
Without a doubt, at least at this moment, her power had reached beyond peak levels.
Even in seeking atonement, the pride of the dragon race would not allow Rebecca to casually give up resistance and be killed, so she had to wait and test Miss Vilyric’s strength as a [Descendant].
Thus, the blue dragon roared and dove towards the White Robed Girl!
“Roar!!!!”
Then, boundless light descended upon the world.
It formed into a Radiant Spirit, identical in appearance to Vilyric, rising from behind the Priestess, initially only three meters tall.
In the brief moment as the frost giant dragon charged, the Spirit rapidly expanded, spreading faster than the previously cast [Radiant Protection], instantly soaring over a hundred meters in height.
With a flick of her hand, countless lights gathered to form a magnificent golden holy spear that was hurled at the oncoming blue dragon like a javelin!
“Roar roar roar!!!”
The frost dragon that Rebecca had transformed into opened her mouth, unleashing a terrifying breath of chilling cold, but before the golden meteor, it was torn apart like paper.
The holy spear mercilessly pierced through the giant dragon’s body, exiting from her back, drawing a golden arc before slowly dissipating.
Along with it, the enormous body of the blue dragon, frozen mid-air, began to dissipate. Her dragon eyes swiftly lost their light, but deep within, there was no hatred—only liberation, relief, and a hint of nostalgia.
“Thank you… you, Miss Vilyric…”
“…No need to thank me.”
The [I Am Light] Spirit returned to its basic three-meter size, floating behind Vilyric, who also put down her staff.
The battle had come to an end.
The second seat of the [Throne of Immortality]—the [Twin Dragon Princess] Aaliyah was slain on the spot at an altitude of ten thousand meters above the City of Courage.
“I guess… this counts as an explanation, right? For you and for myself. Don’t hold it against me, Miss Rebecca.”
Without looking back at the scene of the girl destined for death swiftly dissipating, the Black-haired Girl turned and descended beneath the clouds.
…
The tea party with Mona and the aerial battle did not take much time. When they returned to the palace square, the lively king’s coronation ceremony was still in full swing. Liliya was standing on the high platform, delivering her first public speech after her ascension.
However, a certain dragon girl, who should have been here, was nowhere to be found. Only two Winged Women were anxiously waiting, their heads tucked in.
“Hey!”
“Ah! I-I’m so sorry, Miss Vilyric! We couldn’t stop Xiao Guang, and we let you down! Please don’t be angry, um um um…”
Just as Renée was giving a reassuring pat on her sister’s shoulder, the little girl trembled in fear, her mouth firing off a barrage of words. By the time Sister Leila realized the issue and rushed to cover her, it was already too late.
Vilyric raised an eyebrow, half-smiling.
“Oh? That girl Xiao Guang didn’t obediently stay here? Where did she run off to?”
This was indeed a rare occurrence. Although Vilyric merely verbally warned the three girls not to follow, without issuing any enforceable orders, the typically well-behaved Little Dragon Daughter had actually disobeyed and sneaked away?
It was highly probable that her curiosity and worry got the better of her, and she had followed Vilyric secretly. In truth, the Priestess had already sensed this through their contract but had been too lazy to intervene.
“Uh, well…”
The sisters exchanged glances, and in the end, they could no longer withstand the scrutiny in the Priestess’s eyes, confessing that the Little Dragon Daughter had only been with them for less than ten minutes before becoming impatient and warning the defenseless sisters not to spill the beans, then hurriedly dashed off after her contract connection.
This was quite close to Vilyric’s guess.
She wasn’t trying to keep the matter with Mona from Xiao Guang; it was just that with that little fool’s intelligence, she likely wouldn’t understand much of it, and she would probably come back with a ton of questions, making it a bit troublesome to explain.
However, if she really did sneak out, Xiao Guang should have returned much earlier. The delay made Vilyric wonder if she had run into some trouble?
Unlikely.
Vilyric did not believe there was anything in the United Kingdom that could threaten a level 100 Holy Crystal Dragon. Moreover, Xiao Guang had not contacted her through the contract for help; if anything serious happened, that girl surely knew how to prioritize.
So there could only be one reason.
Fine, let her enjoy some time alone. After all, it was a rare chance to see kin, even if she was just a blue dragon.
…
In the Adventurer’s Plains, beside the Luo River, atop an unoccupied small hill, a girl with dark blue hair was lying quietly with her eyes closed.
She had deep blue dragon horns on her head, a tail extending from behind, dragging on the ground. Although her body was unclothed, a layer of dense dark blue scales covered the crucial parts like armor.
There was a wound the size of a bowl at her chest; it was the only injury on her body.
There was no trace of blood, as if it had all dried up.
She was dead.
This could be seen from her motionless chest or her pale face.
If nothing unusual occurred, someone would find this unknown foreigner who had died within the kingdom in a few days, and they would either bury her on the spot or burn her clean.
This was the end Rebecca, the girl named, should face after everything ended.
But…
A glimmer of golden light quietly blossomed in the chest of the dragon princess that had been pierced through.
The muscles and veins that had been completely obliterated by the scorching holy light began to stir once more. They gradually grew, intertwining together to form organs, muscles, bones, and skin. The blood that had been vaporized by the terrifying power also began to flow again within the girl’s body.
Her face regained its color, the hollow in her chest was filled, healed, turning back into the pale, delicate skin a girl should have, adorned with deep blue scales that concealed her youthful glow.
Finally, one of the important symbols of life, breathing, re-emerged on the previously lifeless body.
Rebecca slowly opened her eyes, sat up, revealing the expression that anyone revived from death inevitably displayed—confusion and bewilderment.
“I… wasn’t I killed? Why… is this place purgatory? Does the God believe that just dying isn’t enough to atone for my past sins…?”
Trying to grasp her hands, that familiar sense of power made the girl even more bewildered.
At this moment, a slightly cold female voice quietly rang in the dragon princess’s ear.
“Enough already, get up, and don’t show that cowardly face. You disgrace our dragon race’s dignity.”
“You’re still alive.”
