Book 5: Chapter 110: Subdue

Like a shooting star, Princess Luna swooped down on Lilith, leaving behind a golden trail blaze.

Lilith was already poised and prepared for the impending confrontation.

However, Princess Luna, having foregone the formidable transformation that her dragon blood could offer, showed no interest in close-quarters combat.

As she closed in on Lilith, she extended her wings and abruptly halted when she was about thirty meters away.

With her palm wide open and lips murmuring incantations in ancient dragon language, she commanded the water elements within a five-kilometer radius to heed her call.

Converge!

Moisture from the surrounding air swiftly coalesced, defying the laws of nature to form a colossal water prison that towered three stories high, ensnaring Lilith.

A dragon language spell!

Lilith raised an inquisitive eyebrow. She had nearly forgotten that Princess Luna could employ dragon language spells to a certain degree.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels

However, Lunas prowess would forever pale in comparison to her own, as a true dragon. The fact that Luna had to be this close for the spell to take effect spoke volumes.

Lilith found herself puzzled by the purpose of this massive water prison. She could maneuver within it like a golden fish in a pond. While it might be lethal for an ordinary human, did Luna genuinely believe it could drown a formidable dragon like her?

Lilith quickly discovered that this was not Lunas intent when the princess issued another command to the water prison.

Burn!

Dragon language spells were a force that could reshape the natural order. Although the prison was filled with water, it had to ignite under Princess Lunas command! Pale blue flames danced upon the waters surface, causing the liquid within to boil and evaporate.

Lilith began to feel a discomfort as she inhaled some of the steam, which scalded her more delicate airways. Nevertheless, with her extraordinary resilience, this could hardly cause any harm to her. The experience was akin to sitting in a hotter sauna.

Amidst the mist, Lilith gazed at the figure hovering in mid-air and scoffed, All that effort just for this?

It may indeed be trivial for someone of your caliber, Master Lilith, Luna responded, her tone tinged with smugness.

But the best is yet to come, she assured.

Im eagerly anticipating it, Lilith said with a wicked grin.

As Lilith lowered her center of gravity, the ground crumbled around her in a network of spider web-like cracks.

With an ear-splitting whoosh through the air, she propelled forward like a cannonball, directing her clenched fist toward the figure in the hazy mist.

To her shock the blow failed to connect. Liliths eyes widened in disbelief. It turned out the figure hovering in mid-air was nothing more than an illusion! She had fallen for a clever ruse!

A faint magical fluctuation caught Liliths attention from the side. As she turned her head, she noticed sheets of paper covering her body.

The runes on the papers pulsed, forming an intricate web that entrapped her.

A talisman array?

A perplexed expression crossed Liliths face.

Talisman-activated spells were typically reserved for swift and covert assaults.

Such fragile tactics seldom found use in confrontations between formidable adversaries.

A golden holy lance made of radiant light, emerged as if it had been hurled by a divine being. It carried a terrifying heat that could purify all the evils of the world and embodied the very laws of the Saint Realm, capable of defying the laws of nature.

The lance struck Lilith with flawless precision as she descended from mid-air, unable to evade due to the lack of solid foothold beneath her.

The moment of impact made Lilith mutter in realization, Damn it, if only I knew how to do a double jump.

A blinding light erupted, and a colossal and sacred cross rose from the ground, symbolizing the purification of all things. At its center, no living thing could possibly survive.

Without missing a beat, Princess Luna reached for a moon-shaped longbow that materialized in her hand.

She deftly nocked an arrow, its tip emanating the aura of the Saint Realm, and trained her aim on the spot where the smoke and dust billowed.

She was ready to release the arrow at any sign of movement.

Thats truly remarkable. Liliths voice, tinged with a hint of discomfort, emerged from the smoke and dust.

She continued praising, I have underestimated you. To be honest, when I first laid eyes on you, I despised your arrogant attitude. But now, I think youre qualified to act like that.

Luna possessed an absolute talent, acute perception, superior intellect, unwavering composure, and remarkable resilience. It was the first time Lilith had witnessed such a remarkable combination of strengths in a single individual.

It was no surprise that Princess Luna looked down upon her siblings. If Lilith were in her shoes, she would have been deeply ashamed and likely severed all ties with those disgraceful people.

Please refrain from such remarks, Master Lilith. I am doing everything to make you thoroughly loathe me.

The tip of Lunas arrow continued to track Liliths position via her voice. What will I do if you decide to show me mercy just because youve fallen in love with me, Master Lilith? I wont get to experience the ultimate pleasure!

On top of being a supreme pervert, Princess Luna was also an extremely paranoid freak.

Lunatics are frightening, but they become even more unsettling when they have a coherent rationale!

Lilith pondered whether she would stand a chance against Luna if Luna possessed the same dragon bloodline as herself. There was no way to draw a direct comparison or determine the outcome, but Lilith held one certainty in her mind

Her blood was boiling again for the first time in a while!

Thats excellent, Luna. Ive got my eyes on you. My team for the Martial God Tournament is currently one person short. Will you join me?

Huh? Id be delighted, but the Martial God Tournament requires participants with strength weaker than the Saint Realm. I dont meet the requirements.

You may not meet the requirements now, but Ill make you meet them!

The smoke and dust that filled the air suddenly cleared. Lilith, whose clothes were tattered, was soaring up into the sky!

Princess Luna maintained her composure, channeling her magic power into the longbow. She aimed then released the arrow!

Lilith had no means of escape in mid-air.

However

Luna, I must thank you for making me realize the limitations of my fighting style.

Up until now, Lilith had relied almost exclusively on brute force to conquer her adversaries. Even the White Jade Style technique merely amplified her raw power.

But today, Luna had shown her a new way of fighting that she could also use, one that did not require extensive training and accumulation of power!

After all, Princess Luna was a weaker version of herself!
