Chapter 83 - Mysterious Woman
A shadow appeared out of nowhere and stood in the sky with the support of two beautiful white wings that had been flapping on her back. She wore a white dress and had blue hair that swung in the wind like the waves of the ocean. Her curves made Kadyn' heart burn in passion, he could not calm his heart.
As if a woman felt his gaze she glanced in his direction. She blinked her captivating green eyes and her enticing lips parted into a sweet smile. Then she nodded at him. Kadyn was left stunned by her gesture. Only after a brief moment did he come back to his senses. But he could not tell the meaning behind her nod.
"Who's this lady?" he muttered in confusion. It was the second time he had seen this woman. The first time was when he auctioned his potions for the very first time. At that time she was standing at the corner of the street, alone, under the shadow of a blue umbrella and in a blue dress.
The lady saw Kadyn's dumbfounded face and a smile deepened on her rosy lips. Then she turned towards Zephyr.
"Who are you?" Zephyr said. "How dare you interfere in my business?" though her voice still seemed overbearing, there was some kind of vigilance hidden in it. She looked at the mysterious lady alertly; she felt threatened by her.
The lady chuckled at Zephyr's words and said with a nonchalant expression. "Actually you have something that I need."
"Heh? What do you mean?" Zephyr asked with a confused expression.
The mysterious lady was still smiling and said. "You dragon core. Though you aren't a real dragon it is very useful to me. It could help me advance to the next rank"
"How dare you?!" Zephyr was completely enraged by the woman's words. The beast core was similar to the consciousness inside a human, taking it means that she would die. In the most direct way, the woman wanted to kill Zephyr before taking the core from her body.
Kadyn was also dumbfounded by her statement, so was Barret, and Elder Jyn who had stood up from the rubble after struggling for some time. No one thought that someone would dare to be so brazen in front of Zephyr. Even the Magic Association didn't dare to provoke her.
Kadyn peered at the woman's back and curiosity engulfed his heart. Who is she? Where did she come from? He thought but had no answer. He shook his head and drove all the questions out of his mind and focused on the current situation. It would be better if she could defeat Zephyr. He didn't know if Avibria City would be able to pass this tribulation, otherwise.
The mysterious woman just smiled casually at Zephyr's enraged roar. It seemed as if she didn't put Zephyr in her eyes at all, and that only fueled even further in angering the dragon. "Let's see if you will be able to smile when I tear you apart into millions of pieces," Zephyr said and then her gigantic body was covered in blue flames. At this moment Zephyr looked as if she was the incarnation of the fire god.
The mysterious woman looked at her and nodded gently. "No wonder, no one from the Magic Association dares to fight with you. You've already reached the peak of Rank 3. Even their leader, Oswyn, might not be your match. Furthermore, even if they could defeat you, they would have to pay a heavy price that they are unwilling to pay."
Kadyn was left stunned. From her words, he realised that she was not someone from the Magic Association. He looked at the lady in the sky but could not see through her. He could not tell which rank she had reached.
Roar!
Zephyr didn't seem to be in the mood to talk or hear. She simply roared and dashed towards the lady in white. The mysterious woman didn't budge from her place and remained standing, but when the dragon appeared in front of her and launched a claw attack towards her, she shattered into millions of small icicles. Zephyr left stunned when the mysterious lady suddenly burst into millions of crystals.
Before she could think about the situation a dangerous feeling appeared from behind her back.
The lady had appeared behind her back and an ice sword formed in her hand and launched the attack towards Zephyr's head. She wanted to twist her body and avoid the attack. But she underestimated her opponent far too much.
Boom!
The ice sword smashed on the gigantic head of Zephyr and she was sent flying and fell on the ground with a booming sound and a large pit formed due to the impact. The woman in white stood in the sky and peered at Zephyr.
Rumble!
The gigantic figure burst out of the pit and once more dashed towards the mysterious lady in rage. "Die die die!" Zephyr screamed as she breathed a blue fire that covered the entire sky.
"Be careful!" Kadyn didn't know why he said this, but words left his mouth on their own. The lady seemed to hear him and curled her lips and smiled towards Kadyn. He was left stunned for a moment. She was too beautiful but then shook his head. It wasn't the time to blank out.
The woman, however, didn't move from her place and continued to stand with the same smiling expression. The blue fire engulfed her entire being and buried her beneath its chilling energy. "Hahaha." Zephyr burst into a peal of cold and mocking laughter. "How conceited. You dare to receive my ultimate attack head-on. You must be courting death. Although my fire can't be considered one of the top ones. It is enough to handle someone like you."
"Really?" at this moment a cold voice appeared from underneath the sea of the blue fire. Then the fire started to converge in a single place at an unbelievable speed. Kadyn opened his mouth wide but could not speak any word. He was left completely stunned.
At this moment a gorgeous figure once more revealed herself in front of everyone. She stood on the same spot but her temperament had turned completely frosty from her previous gentle appearance. She looked at Zephyr coldly and extended her hand, revealing a blue orb at the centre of her palm. "Were you talking about this?"
"You…" Zephyr's expression changed and her eyes were filled with complete horror and disbelief. The ultimate move she was so proud of, was dealt with just like that. "H-how…"
"It doesn't matter how." The woman once more put an enchanting smile on her lips and said. "Now please give me your dragon core. Or I have to do it by myself."
"Keep dreaming!" Zephyr roared. "I would prefer to detonate myself. No one can tarnish the pride of the dragon race."
The woman in white sneered. "The dragon race? You aren't even worthy of calling yourself a variant due to your tainted bloodline. How dare you associate yourself with the majestic dragon race."
Zephyr trembled hearing her words. She had touched the most sensitive part inside her heart. Indeed, she wasn't worthy of calling herself a dragon. Furthermore, she wasn't even born with dragon blood but gained it due to some good fortune. She was a low-grade Snow-snake. She wasn't even worthy of reaching Rank 1. But now she was at the peak of Rank 3. It was her limit and without another fortuitous encounter, she would never be able to reach above Rank 3.
Her chance came when she encountered the mysterious egg. She felt a strong bloodline power from it, she wanted to devour it as soon as possible. She felt that egg could evolve her bloodline once more. At that time she would not fear anyone.
However before she could devour that egg it mysteriously vanished, she was furious and couldn't take such a huge loss. That's why she decided to search the surrounding kingdoms one by one. No matter who dared to block her path she slaughtered them.
Not long after she encountered Kadyn in the Burning Tip of the Runad Kingdom. She felt the similar energy as an egg from his body. He definitely had come into contact with an egg. However, before she could capture him he mysteriously disappeared.
The mysterious woman looked at Zephyr's trembling body and didn't feel any sympathy for her. Zephyr didn't have any qualms about killing thousands of innocent people to achieve her goal. So why should she show any mercy? People get what they give. It was nature.
The woman landed on the ground and walked toward Zephyr at a slow pace. Zephyr looked at the mysterious woman and said. "I may have very thin dragon blood inside my body. But I still have it. Therefore, I'm far superior to you. No one can trample the pride of a dragon. Not you, nor anyone else!"
Suddenly her body started to twist and turn. "I will not let you benefit from my death!" she screamed and cracks started to appear on her body.
The woman in white saw this and curled her lips into a disdainful sneer. "Do you think you can destroy my hard work by just detonating yourself?" she said. "You are too naive if you think I would let you die just like that."
Zephyr didn't reply, but the cracks started to form over her gigantic body even faster.
"Hmph!" the woman in white sneered. Then she made some mysterious signs with her hand and shouted. "Seal!"
At this moment hundreds of icy chains appeared and restricted Zephyr from detonating her body. Even her mana was sealed. "What is this?!" Zephyr shouted in terror, eyes filled with resentment. She could not feel mana at all, nor she could detonate herself.
