Chapter 125: Frost Dragon and Priestess’s Battleground

If it were any other powerful being, they might have already deemed Rebecca a bloodthirsty, savage, and insane villain deserving of execution.

However, having once had the chance to see Little Rebecca’s memories in the deep prison and witness her path to becoming a Throne of Immortality, Vilyric could clearly understand that Rebecca was far from that.

Otherwise, Mona wouldn’t trust her so casually and collaborate with her.

But…

“Since this is already done, explaining would only be a futile plea for mercy. The Dragon Clan never bows to anyone; I’d rather fight.”

“Dragon Clan?”

Vilyric’s mind shifted.

“Are you Aaliyah? What about Rebecca?”

“…There’s no longer any Rebecca or Aaliyah, don’t you understand, Miss Vilyric? The Dualborn Dragon Princess has always been an individual, a unified soul. Since that day, our lives and everything have merged into one.”

The Dragon Princess revealed her sharp claws, and scales began to spread across the girl’s body.

“There’s no point in talking; I seek only battle today, even if I die, I regret nothing.”

So that’s how it is…

No wonder Rebecca agreed to join the Throne of Immortality after the experiment.

For Little Rebecca, the other party is the perpetrator, but for Blue Dragon Aaliyah, the Throne of Immortality is a benefactor that restored her life.

Vilyric had no idea where that cult of undead had found this blue dragon’s residual soul, but now, it didn’t matter.

Rebecca is a contradictory entity.

Now, she possesses memories and body belonging to the original human Rebecca, but also merges the values, strength, and dragon soul of Blue Dragon Aaliyah.

Being neither human nor dragon, her actions cannot be judged by conventional logic.

Well, if she wants to fight, then let’s fight.

After all, those with fists the size of mountains naturally carry weight in words; otherwise, it’s just empty talk.

“Alright, come…”

Before the word “come” could hit the air, the blue-haired dragon princess appeared in front of the priestess a hundred meters away and unceremoniously slashed down with her claw!

But Vilyric, moving even faster, effortlessly sidestepped Rebecca’s claw strike, making it swing through the air.

“Not very chivalrous, huh?”

“Hmph!”

With no intention to communicate, Rebecca immediately changed her attack, converting the claw strike into a sweeping motion aimed at Vilyric’s waist.

At the same time, her dragon tail was also in motion, coming in from another tricky angle to strike!

Clearly, in close combat skills, Rebecca was far superior to Vilyric, who was a mere priestess.

Though she managed to react, lacking in technique, Vilyric had no idea how to respond and simply stuck her holy staff upright to block the path of the dragon’s claw, leaving the incoming tail attack ignored.

Clang!

The dragon’s claw crashed against the artifact, the Eternal Staff – Heart of the World, and naturally, it couldn’t cause any damage. Instead, it left Rebecca’s fingers numb and unable to advance an inch.

At the same time, the tail whipped fiercely against Vilyric’s back, producing a heavy thud!

Rebecca was slightly confused; she hadn’t expected such a simple tactic would leave her opponent, who seemed like a rookie at combat, flustered. But battle is battle.

The dragon’s tail is a weapon that can easily match the claws. Taking a hit like that, even a Descendant would suffer some minor injury…

“Hey, not bad, bring it on!”

To her surprise, the black-haired girl in a white robe took the hit effortlessly as if nothing had happened, exposing her pearly whites in a bright smile and swinging her staff down at Rebecca!

“!”

Knowing well how dangerous this weapon was, the dragon princess dared not take it head-on, pulling back to dodge the staff strike and creating some distance between herself and Vilyric.

The priestess did not pursue.

From the previous exchanges, she had roughly gauged this second seat of the Throne of Immortality’s strength.

Certainly, she was at a Transcendent Level, but to quantify it more accurately in this world, perhaps around levels 55 to 60.

In terms of speed and strength, if estimated numerically, it should range between 5000 to 10000.

As a pure priestess, Vilyric’s inherent strength and agility attributes were just under 7000.

However, following her breakthrough past level 100, she had a built-in passive effect called World’s Blessing that added +9999 to all dimensions, raising her actual speed and strength to around 15000, significantly higher than Rebecca’s.

Moreover, she was currently under the additional state of God’s Wing.

This skill was inherently high-grade and evolved from her unique equipment, the artifact Feather Garaghalia, and had become an ability that couldn’t simply be classified by magical levels.

The effects were definitely not just about granting her flight ability.

Beyond the basic high-speed flight, the wings themselves served as a formidably powerful defense, significantly enhancing Vilyric’s agility.

Just the attributes from this skill were enough to double the agility of the priestess, bringing her to around thirty thousand.

Also, what Vilyric was currently showing was only the most basic form of God’s Wing; the skill could be elevated to increase the quantity and shape of the wings, further boosting the added attributes, and even grant new effects.

Of course, increasing the skill level would enormously raise the MP consumption, so unless Vilyric was truly fighting at full strength, she seldom activated the skill to its complete state.

At her current level, it was sufficient for her to outpace Rebecca in speed.

During the previous attack, Vilyric could have opened a barrier or used magic to counterattack, but the Transcendent level opponent before her didn’t force her to utilize her true methods. She considered it as practice for her melee skills.

Such things were completely useless in the game world, undeniably a shortcoming for the priestess. If possible, Vilyric still wanted to familiarize herself with some techniques.

While pondering, the dragon princess charged at her once more.

However, this time was different from before.

“Arcane Surge!”

With a brilliant deep blue tail flame trailing behind, Rebecca’s speed suddenly skyrocketed, and her change in tactics was far from over.

“Frost Domain: Illusion Dragon Claw!”

Rebecca raised her arm high, a freezing cold wind whipped in a radius of thousands of meters centered on her. Even though they were above the clouds, blade-like snowflakes danced thickly, assaulting Vilyric.

At the same time, a hundred-meter-long ice dragon claw rapidly formed at the end of Rebecca’s arm, crashing down toward Vilyric with thunderous might!

“Wan Soul Bite!”

Black air surged skyward, combining under Rebecca’s control with the massive ice dragon claw, resembling a silhouette draped in dusk—clearly, this was power not belonging to the dragon clan, but a strength given to her via the fusion of vengeful spirit experiments.

Riding the momentum of the collision, the three merged into one—this was the full force strike of a Transcendent Level Expert.
