Chapter 22
1
Elena's hands trembled slightly as the green-clad people were surrounded by a firewall, towering eight stories high. It was almost impossible to escape by jumping, as they would be at risk of being accidentally hit by the dragons fighting in the sky. They could only wait quietly.
Wenxin was still trapped in endless sorrow, feeling as if she was shrouded in darkness. She went from sobbing to being speechless, a process only known to herself. Even as her adopted son, he couldn't fully understand her feelings. But I could understand her thoughts. They were chaotic. At a time like this, humans have no thoughts at all. Chaos is the best explanation.
In the eyes of Lilith, Qingxue, and Qingqing, Elena and Qin Yin are no longer as harmonious as they used to be. They suddenly turned against each other. Behind the shining "Dragon Spirit Covenant," once the two dragons go to war, the covenant bearers will unknowingly fight against each other.
"Alice, I never thought it was you, Qin Yin!" Qin Yin, who appeared before Elena, had the same face as the girl in the pleated skirt. In the past, Elena always felt that Qin Yin was acting strange, but out of trust in her teammate, she never doubted her. But now, it turns out that it was her all along.
"I never expected that this day would come so soon." Elena had once said to Qin Yin that there would be a battle between the Ink Dragon and the Holy Dragon. In her mind, she didn't realize that this day could come at any time. She thought it was something that would happen in the distant future.
"Let's go! Let's see who can win!" Elena unsheathed her steel sword, causing steel pillars to burst out of the ground in a fan shape, exploding as she swung her sword.
Qin Yin jumped sideways, and immediately, black and white bullets flew through the air. Elena quickly blocked the bullets and took fast steps, moving in for close combat.

The two dragons crossed the sky. The black dragon's claws clashed fiercely with the ice dragon's sword, creating faint blue ripples in the sky and stirring up gusts of wind.
The ice dragon continued to fly high while the Demon Dragon closely followed. It flapped its huge wings and covered its dragon head with armor. Two sharp dragon horns appeared on the armor, enhancing their sharpness and length. Looking at the charging Demon Dragon, the ice dragon raised its broadsword and swung it directly at its head.
"Clang~" The broadsword and the dragon helmet collided with great force, neither side giving in. The sound of the metal clash penetrated for tens of kilometers. The Empire's people were all on their way home from work, and the sound frightened them. They put down what they were doing and looked up at the sky in Yao Yuan, as the continuous collision sounded like a fight happening right before their eyes.
I stood on the ice dragon's head, taking the Demon Dragon higher into the sky so that I didn't have to worry about the city being destroyed by magic. But there was a serious problem.
"Roar!" The Demon Dragon attacked once, and the ice dragon swung its broadsword with all its might. The pale blue blade temporarily held off the Demon Dragon's attack, but the fundamental difference between the Demon Dragon and me was that it was a dragon and I was a human. Although I could harness most of my soul's power through the ice dragon, it was far inferior to the Demon Dragon's possession of a dragon body. With a continuous supply of soul power, in the long run, I would definitely lose.
"Your Highness, the situation is not optimistic! The attack power of the Demon Dragon is too strong!" The ice dragon's intelligence was also quite high. As a dragon that had dominated the battlefield for many years, it had the ability to weigh various factors. Based on the unstoppable momentum of the Demon Dragon's attacks, it would sooner or later gain the upper hand.
"I understand. Let's go all out and determine the winner in this last struggle!" In the war in Yao Yuan between me and the Demon Dragon, it led to the current situation of having two souls in one body. I hope this time we can have the same outcome.
"You're always so calm, Holy Dragon. I really hate that about you!" The Demon Dragon said to me in this way.
"And you're always so impulsive. We are the two extremes of humanity. Haven't you noticed that when faced with the most difficult situations, you become furious, while I choose to remain calm? Therefore, it's not advisable to let you calm down only when you're alone. The only solution is violence."
"Violence? The Lin couple died, yet you remained so calm. I can't understand you. I can't synchronize with you. You can't resonate with my anger."
"You've said that people die all the time, but they still exist in the underworld and continue to reincarnate. With your actions as a Demon Dragon, can the mere underworld truly stop you?"
"Hehe! I don't know when I started caring so much about important people, and I don't understand the difference between this life and the next. Not everyone can think like Elena, being able to find the right person in the next life. Moreover, once someone enters the underworld, no one can interfere with the cycle of the underworld. This is a rule I have set, and I cannot break it." The Demon Dragon's tone was somewhat melancholic, after being a human for sixteen years, the god-like dragon had been influenced a bit.
"I know how it feels when magic power is depleted! Let's settle it once and for all! If I lose, I won't have the qualification to control the people below!" I smiled at the black dragon.
"Roar!" The Demon Dragon and I simultaneously let out a rhythmic and deep dragon chant.
"Two dragon language magic spells?" Elena suddenly looked terrified towards the sky, and Qin Yin also looked up at the sky. One dragon language magic spell made Elena pale with fear, and the consequences of two dragon language magic spells were unimaginable.
"Master!" Nofice's emotionless face unexpectedly showed a hint of worry.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" The dragon chants became extremely urgent. Anyone in the Three Realms with dragon blood in their veins couldn't help but feel a sense of horror. The chilling feeling made them feel as if they were on pins and needles.
The Demon Dragon gathered huge thunderballs from its horns. The thunderballs sent small currents of electricity to both its dragon claws, before gathering into massive thunderballs once again. The crackling sound of thunder frightened the humans on the ground. No one dared to leave a place without a roof, afraid that they would be struck by lightning if they exposed themselves.
The Ice Dragon and I, facing the Demon Dragon's "Triangle Thunderball," went all out. The huge broadsword fit into the diamond-shaped white magic array, which was several times wider than the sword's body. It illuminated the night sky, like the sudden rise of scorching sun. The broadsword embedded in the dragon's hand shone brightly, and the blade extended endlessly, reaching an unseen end, before descending.
"Demon Dragon! Accept your gift!" I shouted with all my strength from deep within my throat.
"I give as good as I get!" The Demon Dragon's flickering "Triangle Thunderball" streaked across the sky, like a rift tearing through the sky. Everything in the air disappeared in its wake, even the dust was nonexistent. It erased everything completely.
The blade struck the thunderball head-on, and the two forces clashed in mid-air. The high level of magic power distorted the space, causing a real rift in the sky. After the clash, the two forces exploded immediately. No one dared to look directly at it; it was like a blinding sunlight without ultraviolet protection.
The entire Human Realm's sky brightened up! The fear of the impending apocalypse!
In reality, the rift in the sky absorbed a large amount of energy, and just a small amount of the clashing energy brought the apocalypse perilously close to humanity's face.
Survival in the proximity of the energy center was difficult to estimate!
