Rise of the White Dragon

445  Chapter 445: Facing the Sixth Order Beast

After completing their tasks in the North, Luan, Lenore, and Nora set off for the South.

Nora flew with a pair of intensely red bat wings with almost black metallic details, vigorously flapping to keep up with Luan, who flew with a pair of impressively large and majestic white dragon wings.

"Luan," she began, drawing his attention. "There's a cave ahead inhabited by a solitary Sixth Order wolf; should we visit it?"

Luan, with his long platinum white hair and mercury-red eyes, gazed at Nora, whose eyes possibly had an even more intense and seductive red hue. He smiled subtly before responding.

"I see no need," said Luan, shaking his head. "Although a level 6 magical beast is rare and potentially valuable, it is of the ice element. No matter how I look at it, this creature's magical core wouldn't bring significant benefits to any of our kin."

"That's true," she agreed, with a charming smile. "So, shall we bypass this cave and head straight to the city, from where we'll teleport to the South, right?"

"Exactly," nodded Luan.

Lenore watched her parents closely.

"Besides the core, the blood essence of this beast isn't very pure either," she added, sharing information she had gathered. "According to reports, this beast evolved by consuming magical cores of other creatures. Typically, this type of evolution isn't as effective as the natural process or through encounters with rare and mystical herbs."

It was hard to disagree with her point.

"Especially since beasts that evolve in this way tend to be more wild and attack fearlessly," commented Nora. "In the end, it would be a nuisance to face such a beast."

"So, we're in agreement on confronting this wolf, right?" Luan asked, laughing.

"Yes," they both responded in unison.

Luan couldn't help but laugh. The contradiction of the situation was so evident that it made him chuckle.

Nora and Lenore exchanged glances and joined in the laughter.

"Well, even if it's not extremely profitable," Nora remarked, "we are still talking about a solitary Sixth Order wolf."

This point was hard to contest, especially considering Luan's intervention in the purification process of the magical core. If he did so, the value of the core, even reduced to the Fifth Order, would still be considerable.

"To be honest," said Lenore, with a somewhat sinister smile, "I'm eager to test my power now that I've had a significant breakthrough."

She spun in the air, displaying wings similar to her mother, Nora. As she spun, Lenore's sinister laughter echoed through the snow-covered sky.

Seconds later, they were hovering over the mountain housing the solitary wolf. A subtle yet hostile aura permeated the environment, almost tangible. From the interior of the ice cave, an intense bloodlust emanated.

At that moment, a colossal wolf, over five meters tall and ten meters wide, emerged from the ice cave, raising its bloodthirsty obsidian-colored gaze to the sky. The white wolf's face twisted into silent snarls until it let out a powerful howl. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"HOWL!"

Next to Luan, Nora, and Lenore, they began to descend slowly, staying alert.

"I'll attack first!" declared Lenore, brimming with confidence.

Upon hearing these words, Nora glanced at Luan.

"It's fine," said Luan with a neutral expression.

However, sensing the powerful aura of the white wolf, Nora felt it was too risky for Lenore, who was still in the Fifth Order.

Luan, noticing Nora's concern, reassured her: "But I'll apply some enhancements to you for precaution, okay?"

Although his statement sounded like a question, Luan was already preparing reinforcements with his Negative Qi and the Origin of the Spiritual Tree.

Wrapped in the aura of the enhancements applied by her father, Lenore gave him an ironic smile. She knew she was still in the Fifth Order, but now didn't she possess the strength of someone from the Sixth Order?

She understood her father's concern and, noticing her mother's gaze, remained silent.

Lenore's breath was a mix of anticipation and fear as she readied herself for the confrontation. Her eyes, shining with fierce determination, were fixed on the colossal wolf in front of her. In her veins, a surge of adrenaline pulsed, making her heart race.

"Be careful!" Nora warned.

When the white wolf roared, a cold breath emanated, exhaling a chilly blast capable of instantly freezing everything in its path.

With a fluid motion, Lenore began to conjure her "blood tsunami." Her hands traced symbols in the air, a ballet of fingers and palms, while murmurs in an ancient and mystical language flowed from her lips. Around her, magical energy formed a spiral, vibrating with an almost tangible intensity. The air around buzzed with the growing power, and a blood-red aura emanated from her hands, forming a colossal wave that rose threateningly against the pale sky.

At the side, Luan and Nora watched attentively, their faces a mix of pride and concern. Each of Lenore's movements was followed by their experienced eyes, ready to intervene if necessary.

Then, a tsunami made of blood mixed with water emerged in front of her outstretched hands, releasing a devastating power towards the white wolf's freezing breath.

"Whoosh!"

The sharp sound of the wind, produced by the high-speed attacks, caused ripples in the air and echoed incessantly until the two attacks collided.

"BOOM!"

Upon meeting, part of the blood tsunami began to freeze and shatter in the air, falling to the ground as ice fragments. However, due to its larger scale compared to the white wolf's, a good portion of the attack overcame the freezing breath.

"HOWL!"

The white wolf emitted a howl that instantly created a thick ice wall in front of it.

"Boom!"

When the blood tsunami hit the ice wall, despite melting a part of it, the white wolf managed to defend itself.

The next moment, without warning, the white wolf appeared with alarming speed in front of Lenore. Its left front paw, raised, quickly descended, producing sharp sounds in the air, aiming at Lenore with its claws covered by a layer of sharp and seemingly resistant ice.
