Volume 4 Chapter 251

Volume 4 + Chapter 251: Xia Lulu’s Reverse Scale

“How could this be!!!”

Herman looked up, his previously arrogant expression completely gone.

Reflected in his pupils was an iceberg!

Perhaps, describing it as an iceberg doesn’t do justice to the shocking scene, this was a mountain range whose edges couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.

“This is absolutely impossible! It’s an illusion you’re using!!”

What was happening before his eyes had shaken Herman’s very common sense.

To create such a massive iceberg would require an enormous amount of magical power, and achieving this level of power would be enough to awe an entire region. One who could do this would be considered a master mage, sought after by the top powerhouses of various races across the land.

But Xia Lulu had achieved far more than just that.

This was a mountain range of ice.

It fell from the sky, its cast shadow covering the entire imperial capital of the Holy Crimson Empire.

Just as its name implied, 

The Judgment of the Dragon King.

“Didn’t I tell you? Within the domain of ice and snow, I command the frost,” Xia Lulu said. “If you think this is an illusion, feel free to wait here and experience it firsthand.”

“You… you…!”

Herman stared at Xia Lulu, speechless.

Suddenly, he realized something.

During their entire battle, Xia Lulu had been using ice mirrors to refract attacks, seemingly engaging in many futile actions. In reality, she had been buying time, delaying him.

“Could it be… you planned this from the very beginning!!” Herman had an epiphany.

Xia Lulu raised a finger. Air currents gathered at her fingertip, and an ice crystal appeared. It spun, gradually expanding within the vortex of air.

This action seemed deliberately performed for Herman to witness.

“From the moment the Frost Domain is deployed, a single ice crystal forms in the sky, continuously expanding. Infused with magical power, it becomes the instrument of destructive judgment.”

Xia Lulu’s murderous aura was now fully revealed, no longer concealed. The faint glow in her silver eyes sent a chill down one’s spine.

“Since you dared to lay hands on my daughter, I will make you pay a painful price. I will erase the entire population of the vampire imperial capital! This is the wrath of the Dragon King. Face your judgment, insignificant ants!”

Herman suddenly realized.

He had heard many rumors: the Silver Dragon Queen, Xia Lulu · Christie was an out-and-out tyrant, her hands stained with countless blood.

But he had always believed that these were perhaps just tales spread by the dragon race to promote their ruler’s might.

The last time he invited Xia Lulu to the vampire imperial palace, after interacting with her, he had judged that Xia Lulu wasn’t that terrifying. Even if arrogant and high above, she seemed like someone one could reason with, her actions even having a certain logic.

But this time, the Silver Dragon Queen, having been touched on her reverse scale, had unleashed the most cruel side of her heart.

To erase everyone in the imperial capital, she meant every word.

An area of ten thousand square kilometers crashing down would be enough to wipe the capital and everything in it from the map of this land, slaughtering hundreds of thousands of people in the process.

“Damn Dragon King!”

Herman charged forward. He swung his blood spear, thrusting it towards Xia Lulu’s heart.

This time, the spear indeed pierced through Xia Lulu’s body, which then instantly turned into snowflakes, scattering away.

As expected, this was just another snow puppet.

Xia Lulu’s true body had never been here from the start, she had long been atop that mountain range of ice.

“Blood Moon Domain!!!” Herman roared.

As a believer in the Vampire Ancestor, he absolutely could not let the imperial capital be destroyed.

If so many believers perished, the Vampire Ancestor would also lose a vast amount of faith’s blessing, which would be highly unfavorable for Elizabeth.

To protect everything in the capital, he had to block Xia Lulu’s judgment!

The light emitted by the Blood Moon pierced through the wind and snow, falling upon Herman, granting him the greatest enhancement possible.

Then, he controlled the Blood Moon, driving it upwards to collide with the mountain range of ice.

“Go back!!!”

BOOM!!!

After a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering巨响, the mountain range of ice and the Blood Moon collided. The crimson full moon shattered, unable to withstand the mountain of ice.

“Urgh… AAAAAAH!!!”

Two trails of bloody tears streamed from Herman’s eyes. He released the entire capacity of his blood pool. The vast sea of blood evaporated in an instant, all of it burned into incinerating blood, providing the maximum energy.

Thus, he also lost his immortal, indestructible body.

“Ugh…!”

Herman felt he couldn’t possibly control this much energy. In less than a minute, his body would likely burst, costing him his life.

Yet, driven by fanatical faith, he would offer up everything he had for the Vampire Ancestor.

Even if it meant losing his life, he had to unleash this one strike.

Xia Lulu’s judgment had already descended above the imperial capital. She gazed down mercilessly at the living beings below, showing not the slightest flicker of emotion towards the impending destruction and slaughter, as cruel as death itself.

“Silver Dragon Queen!!!”

Herman roared. He leaped onto the blood-shark he had summoned, riding it as it soared into the high altitude.

Under the stark contrast, the tiny existence charged to meet the immense destruction.

“Primordial Blood Magic · Sky-Scorching Blood Blast!”

Herman, having given his all, released his strongest attack. He briefly surpassed his own limits, even reaching the realm of Primordial Blood Magic.

The violent incinerating blood surged towards the mountain range of ice. The explosive force caused a fissure to appear in the ice mountain, continuously spreading.

After this strike, his body self-destructed. Having burned all his blood, Herman could no longer use his blood pool to recover. His body shattered, disintegrated, and fell from the sky, crashing onto the ground.

In the final scene of his life, he saw an ice cross descending, continuously expanding, directly covering his entire field of vision.

BOOM!

Like an ant, Herman was crushed by Xia Lulu.

…

…

The fractured mountain range of ice crashed down upon the imperial capital, destroying nearly half of it. Herman’s self-destructive strike, which reached the level of Primordial Blood Magic, could be said to have saved most of the vampires in the capital, preventing total annihilation.

Xia Lulu, who had landed on the ground, could no longer maintain her domain. The Frost Domain dissipated.

“Ugh…”

The silver dragon loli clutched her chest, unable to support her own body. She staggered a few steps before finally collapsing to the ground.

This power originally belonged to Xia Lulu herself. But when she was young, to defeat Frey, she had to seek Dorothea’s help, prematurely awakening her Dragon King’s Heart. Ever since then, whenever she used the Dragon King’s power, it would bring negative side effects.

The gift of power always comes with a price that must be paid.

This time, she had even completely unleashed her power, not hesitating to return to her strongest peak period. However, the consequences of such reckless action were more severe than ever before, she could no longer bear it.

“Xia Yi…”

Xia Lulu murmured her daughter’s name, her vision gradually blurring…

…

…

Vampire Imperial Palace, Clear Spirit Spring.

“…”

The slumbering Elizabeth slowly opened her eyes, awakening from a nightmare.

One could tell from her eyes that the Vampire Ancestor was now enraged.
