Chapter 293 29

Princess Iris and the girls started their revenge against the earth dragon emperor. They dispersed and intended to surround the monster from all directions and rain down their attacks. It was the same as what the dragon had done to Kalya and Lilith.

Princess Freya was the first to attack. Her body was shrouded in golden light. She has a dual role as she has to attack and protect Kalya and the girls with her skills.

[Sun Goddess Protection]

Kyouka and the girls were enveloped in the same golden light on Princess Freya's body. She had to do that to prevent any bad things that might happen in battle.

[Shining Javelin]

Princess Freya created hundreds of spears of light in the sky and thrust them towards the earth dragon emperor.

"Do you think that attack will hurt me? You are dreaming!" The earth dragon emperor sneered and opened his jaws wide in the direction of Princess Freya's attack.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr!

The dragon roared and emitted an ultrasonic wave from its mouth, destroying the entire spear of light. After Princess Freya's attack was swept away, the monster intended to shoot the dragon's breath at her.

Princess Aishia raised her wand and pointed it at the wings of the earth dragon emperor. She wanted to distract the monster and prevent it from firing the dragon's breath.

[Silver Storm]

Two giant tornadoes with silver lightning formed to the right and left of the earth dragon emperor. The dragon's breath aimed at Princess Freya strayed far from its trajectory as the monster lost its balance.

Princess Aishia knew that her attacks wouldn't be able to give a scratch to the dragon's scales. From the start, her goal was to interfere with the dragon's flying ability by attacking its wings and breaking its balance.

"Damn it!" The earth dragon emperor roared and flapped his wings to blow away the tornado. The monster's eyes shone brightly, and dozens of boulders appeared above the girls. He didn't stop his attacks there. The dragon fired another attack in the form of stone spikes from below. He used the same tactics he used on Kalya and Lilith.

[Ice Fire Harmony ]

[Thunder Blade]

[Dark Bullet]

[Thunderstorm Dragon]

[Flame Torrent]

Clara, Kyouka, Princess Iris, Kalya, and Lilith fired their attacks simultaneously to counter the attacks of the earth dragon emperor.

Booooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

After the two attacks clashed and caused an explosion, the Earth Dragon Emperor released the dragon's breath at the girls. That tactic had also been used when he was fighting against Kalya and Lilith. But unlike before, he shot it with one hundred percent of his power and split it into seven.

The girls quickly moved and gathered in one place like they already knew what the dragon would do. They released their power simultaneously and made the space around them distort.

[Aegis Fortress]

[Tortoise Shield]

[Clamshell Barrier]

[Purple Orchid]

[Diamond Great Wall]

[Sun Goddess Protection]

Nove l B(in).C OM

Four barriers of artifacts and one of Lilith coupled with the skill of Princess Freya, formed a gigantic defense that covered and protected them. Besides that, Princess Iris and Kyouka also injected their mana, making the barrier even more solid.

Booooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm!

The barrier only vibrated slightly but didn't have the slightest crack on its surface. It showed how strong the defense created by the combined strength of the seven girls could even withstand the full power of a thousand-year-old true god.

"What!" The earth dragon emperor was shocked at the scene before his eyes. Dragon's breath, with one hundred percent of its power, should be able to destroy anything, including the barrier of a true god. But now, that attack was blocked by the girls whose average strength was only a Magic King.

The earth dragon emperor realized that one of the girls had the power of a demigod. But the strength of a single person would not be able to turn a barrier so solid that it could withstand the full force attack of the earth dragon emperor because the difference in strength between a demigod and a true god was vast. It couldn't be covered with mere artifacts unless that person was a terrifying monster.

But there was a girl among them whose strength he couldn't figure out, and that person was a purple-haired girl. He could only think of two possibilities in his head about it.

The first was that Lilith had used a concealment artifact with a very high rank, and the second was that Lilith's strength was equal to or possibly higher than him. The dragon doubted the latter possibility because he had fought against Lilith and her combat power wasn't that strong. But if his guess was correct, then the irregular he was looking for was a purple-haired girl because the Archaic Knight said that his target had the power of a true god.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The earth dragon emperor roared angrily and directed his bloodshot eyes at Lilith. The monster thought that Lilith was the cause of thousands of his subordinates to die. He is like a hunter who has found his prey.

But whoever Lilith was, it would not change his intention to destroy all the kingdoms in the human region and avenge the thousands of earth dragons that had died. He would annihilate Lilith and the entire human race on the Clorius continent.

Rage has taken over the earth dragon emperor completely. For now, he didn't care about what the Archaic Knight would do after he wiped out all the humans on this continent. But he was sure that the Archaic Knight would understand since he was doing this for the task he gave.

The earth dragon emperor flew at high speed toward the girls; his target was Lilith. He had to eliminate Lilith first to complete the task, and he was sure he could kill her quickly. After that, the Earth Dragon Emperor was free to do whatever he wanted, including annihilating the human race.

The dragon didn't want any factors to suddenly appear in the battle and thwart its task because it would provoke the anger of the Archaic Knights. He might have been killed on the spot by the Archaic Knight after finding out that he failed to eliminate the irregular.

"Be careful!!" Kyouka gave a warning to the girls. Princess Freya and the others were prepared for the dragon's attack. But they felt odd because the dragon's eyes seemed to ignore them and only focus on one of the girls among them.

"Lilith! The lizard seems to be targeting you!" Kalya quickly learned the purpose of the earth dragon emperor. She was confused as to why the monster had suddenly focused its attacks on Lilith.

(Is it because Lilith is the strongest among us? No. In that case, he must have targeted her when the two of us fought him before. Then what is the reason? Why was the dragon looking at Lilith with such a murderous gaze?)

Kalya and the girls had the same thought, but Lilith seemed to have found a clue behind the dragon's actions.

(Did I ever do anything wrong to the lizard that he gave me that look? But I'm sure that I've never met that monster. Besides, it wasn't only me who managed to attack him in this battle, and Freya even killed many of the earth dragons. But why did he target me? Is it because I'm from the divine race and an irregular?)

Lilith's face changed drastically when she thought of that possibility. If that was true, then this dragon had something to do with the guardian of the continent, and that monstrous creature might be around this region.

"This is dangerous! We must kill the dragon immediately and not waste any more time!" Lilith said frantically to Kalya and the girls.

"You are right. We have to kill the lizard as soon as possible!" Kalya quickly agreed with her and didn't ask any further about the reason Lilith suddenly said that. She could tell from the expression on her face that the current situation was dire, and Lilith wouldn't be joking at a time like this. Princess Freya and the other girls nodded as they also understood.

[Magma Flood]

An enormous magic circle appeared before Lilith and spurted purple magma towards the earth dragon emperor. Lilith tried to slow the monster down because Kalya and the girls couldn't keep up with its movements. She wanted to open up opportunities for them and act as bait so the girls could land a heavy blow on the dragon.

But the earth dragon emperor didn't act as she expected and didn't lower his speed. He didn't seem to care about the attack. The monster opened its mouth and shot a dragon's breath at Lilith.

Lilith clicked her tongue and stretched her hand towards the dragon's breath as if to catch it with her bare hands.

[Purple Orchid]

A gigantic orchid bloomed right before the dragon's breath, and the golden light enveloped Lilith's body and shifted to each petal.

Boooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Even though the barrier was broken, it gave Lilith time to dodge the attack from the earth dragon emperor. But the monster chased her wherever she went and ignored the other girls.

Princess Freya stared coldly at the dragon because she felt belittled. She raised one of his hands, and hundreds of portals suddenly appeared in the sky.

[Visitors of Light]

From within the portal emerged a winged creature made of golden light similar to the angel race. Each of them wielded a different weapon: some used spears, swords, scythes, and even katanas like the ones Ziel used.

"Attack the lizard!" Princess Freya gave orders to her summoned creature and looked like a dignified Queen.

The winged creatures charged forward in unison after hearing Princess Freya's order. Although their attacks might not be able to injure the earth dragon emperor, it was enough to annoy him and make him lose focus from Lilith.

"Freya, that is..." Kalya wanted to ask about the skill that Princess Freya had used. The other girls were also curious about it.

"Ah, it's my new skill, inspired by the principal of Arcuz Grand Academy." Princess Freya replied with a broad grin on her face. Kalya and the girls were dumbfounded but smiled wryly after hearing that answer. They didn't think that she would make a clone of Raphael.

"You are annoying!" The earth dragon emperor roared and fired a supersonic attack toward the winged creature. The monster finally turned its attention towards Princess Freya. But before the dragon could act, Clara attacked first.

[Dual Element Chimera]

A pair of large magic circles appeared in the sky. One is blue, and the other is red. Then a giant creature made of ice and fire formed between the two magic circles.

Rooooaaaaarrrrrr!

The giant chimera charged forward to attack the earth dragon emperor before Clara ordered it. That action seemed like instinct from the creature. The two monsters clashed in the sky, but the power of the earth dragon emperor was far above it. The dragon used its claws to tear the chimera's body apart easily.

Clara didn't seem panicked when she saw her chimera being easily destroyed because her goal was only to briefly restrain the movement of the earth dragon emperor to make it easier for the other girls to attack the monster.

"Iris! Kyouka! Aishia! Now!" Clara looked at the three girls behind and gave a signal. They seemed to have been waiting for that from Clara and immediately unleashed their attacks.

[Glacier Impact]

[Curse Scythe]

[Platinum Sword]

Kyouka attacked from above with a giant chunk of ice. Princess Iris attacked from below with a huge black scythe made of extreme mana compression, and Princess Aishia completed their combined attack with a giant sword thrust from the front.

Boooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmm!

Their combined attack finally inflicted a wound on the earth dragon emperor's body. But the girls looked dissatisfied because it was so shallow and not fatal.

"How dare you hurt me!" The Earth Dragon Emperor was furious after seeing three girls' attacks had injured him.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The earth dragon emperor let out a deafening roar. Then mountains, hills, and gigantic boulders floated in the sky, split apart, and merged with his body into armor.

"That is..." Kalya and the girls trembled when they saw the earth dragon emperor's transformation. Their faces sank after feeling that the monster's power had doubled.

Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

"Aren't we in a dangerous situation right now?" Princess Freya muttered and woke the girls from their shock.

"Prepare for the real battle! Use all your strength, defeat him this time, and don't let the dragon do another transformation!" Kalya said with a serious face.

"We got it!" Princess Iris and the others nodded with faces full of determination, and their fighting spirit grew even more significant. The battle between the girls against the earth dragon emperor entered the next stage.
