Chapter 253 Heroine's Enemy at Dragon World 2
The grand, unending expanse of the Dragon Island shook as four titanic presences gathered, each exuding an aura of raw power that made the atmosphere hum. The air crackled with intensity as the Four Elemental Dragon Commanders – Igris, Aqua, Drake, and Breez – floated high above a desolate field.
Their enormous forms cast long shadows across the land, their majestic scales shimmering under the harsh sunlight. Together, they represented the peak of elemental mastery, a force that even the Dragon King respected. When united, these four were said to possess the power to topple empires and challenge even the Dragon King himself.
Fire Elemental Dragon Commander Igris had crimson scales with streaks of molten gold running through them. His eyes were like twin suns, burning with an unyielding ferocity. Every exhale he made released wisps of smoke, and the heat emanating from him warped the air. His enormous wings spread wide, embers dancing around him as if worshipping their master.
Water Elemental Dragon Commander Aqua was a creature of grace and lethality. Her sapphire-blue scales were sleek and smooth, her presence radiating a calm that masked the sheer devastation she could unleash. The air around her was filled with droplets of moisture, and every flick of her tail sent waves crashing around her form, turning the field into a miniature ocean.
Earth Elemental Dragon Commander Drake towered over the others with a hulking, muscular frame covered in obsidian-like scales that gleamed dully under the sun. His claws were as large as boulders, and the ground quivered with each movement, paying homage to the dragon that commanded the earth. His gaze was steady, unyielding, like the bedrock beneath a mountain.
Wind Elemental Dragon Commander Breez was a slender, aerodynamic creature with scales of the lightest silver that shone like polished steel. He hovered above the rest with barely a flap of his wings, as if he was weightless. The air around him howled, and gales seemed to surge forth at his command, bending to his will.
His serpentine body twisted gracefully in the wind currents, his eyes narrowed in focus.
Facing these four legendary beings, each embodying the peak of elemental power, stood Holy Phoenix Iris. She was breathtakingly beautiful in her human form, dressed in a pristine white gown that fluttered in the wind. Her golden hair cascaded down her back, and her eyes shone like twin stars, brimming with confidence and a serene grace.
Despite the overwhelming presence of the Four Elemental Dragons, Iris stood casually with a faint smile on her lips, as if she were facing mere children rather than monsters that could decimate entire nations.
"So, it's come to this," Iris murmured, her voice soft yet carrying a strength that resonated across the land. "All four of you together. It's been a while since I've faced such a challenge."
"Do not underestimate us, Phoenix!" Igris roared, his voice a deep rumble that shook the very ground. "We, the Four Elemental Commanders, will not allow you to desecrate our lands any further!"
"I'm not underestimating you at all," Iris said, raising one delicate hand. Golden light swirled around her fingers, forming a radiant barrier that enveloped her body. "In fact, I'm looking forward to this. Come, show me your strength!"
With a roar that shook the heavens, the battle began.
Igris surged forward first, opening his maw and unleashing a torrent of flame hotter than the core of a volcano. The inferno roared toward Iris, but she stood unfazed, a brilliant golden shield materializing in front of her. The flames crashed against the barrier, only to be repelled harmlessly.
Not to be outdone, Aqua moved next, raising her massive claws and causing a massive wave to surge from thin air. The water twisted and curled into a swirling vortex, a miniature ocean crashing toward Iris with terrifying force. The Holy Phoenix didn't move, her eyes glowing as she whispered a spell. The water collided with a shimmering wall of light, splitting apart and turning into harmless mist.
Breez let out a sharp cry, and the winds howled in response. Cyclones formed in an instant, swirling with a speed that could tear flesh from bone and rend steel. The sky darkened as the Wind Elemental Dragon summoned his power, hurling razor-sharp gusts toward Iris. She raised her hands, a faint smile still on her lips, and the winds were caught in a net of holy energy, dissipating harmlessly.
Drake, silent and steady, waited for his moment. When it came, he stomped his massive feet into the ground, and the earth itself rose up. Massive pillars of stone shot up around Iris, threatening to crush her. She flew into the air, avoiding the pillars with ease, her white gown fluttering gracefully. With a simple gesture, she sent a pulse of golden energy down, shattering the pillars into dust.
The Four Elemental Dragons roared in unison, their combined fury shaking the very foundations of the world. Elemental magic swirled around them, creating a chaotic maelstrom of fire, water, earth, and wind. Iris, surrounded by their combined attacks, remained calm, her body radiating a holy light that repelled each assault with ease.
"Is this all?" she asked, her tone almost playful. "I expected more from you four."
"Damn you!" Igris snarled, his voice filled with rage. "We're just getting started!"
The four dragons exchanged glances, and then, as if coming to a silent agreement, they pulled back. Their eyes narrowed in concentration, and the air around them crackled with an even greater intensity. The Four Elemental Dragons began to chant, their voices merging into a deep, resonating hum that seemed to reverberate through the very core of the island.
"Igris," Aqua called out, her voice steady, "let's show her our true power."
"Yes," Drake agreed, his eyes burning with determination. "We can't let her look down on us any longer."
"This ends here, Phoenix!" Breez cried, his serpentine form twisting in the air as the winds around him howled in unison.
The four dragons glowed brightly, their bodies enveloped in a blinding light as they summoned the true extent of their power. The ground beneath them shattered, the skies above twisted and darkened, and the very fabric of reality seemed to bend around them as they prepared their most devastating spells.
Igris raised his head high, a massive sphere of pure flame forming above him. It burned with an intensity that made the sun seem like a mere candle in comparison. "Inferno's Wrath!" he roared, the sphere growing even larger.
Aqua summoned a whirlpool of water that rose into the sky, twisting and writhing like a living creature. "Tsunami of Oblivion!" she cried, her voice echoing across the land.
Drake stomped his feet, and the ground around him erupted into massive pillars of stone, each one glowing with a dark, earthy light. "Gaia's Judgement!" he bellowed, his voice a deep rumble that seemed to shake the earth itself.
Breez hovered high above, his form glowing with a brilliant white light. The winds around him twisted into a massive cyclone, powerful enough to tear through mountains. "Tempest of Annihilation!" he screamed, his eyes glowing with determination.
The four spells merged into a single, cataclysmic force, surging toward Iris with a speed that defied comprehension. The very air seemed to split apart under the sheer power of their combined might. Iris's eyes widened slightly, her lips curving into a smile.
"Interesting," she murmured. "Let's see if you can truly destroy me."
With a gesture, a massive shield of golden light enveloped her, its radiance shining brighter than the sun.
The blinding light from the combined spell of the Four Elemental Dragons slowly dissipated, revealing the floating head of the Holy Phoenix. Iris's eyes fluttered open, and a faint smile curved her lips despite the devastating state of her body. Then, with a surge of holy light, radiant golden energy pulsed from her head, spreading outwards and rapidly knitting together her torn flesh and bones.
Within seconds, her neck reformed, followed by her shoulders, then her chest, and finally her arms and legs. The holy glow intensified, and her pristine white gown regenerated along with her body, fluttering gently as if she had never been harmed in the first place. With a graceful motion, she flexed her fingers, a soft sigh escaping her lips.
"Impressive," she murmured, her gaze locking onto the stunned Elemental Dragon Commanders. "But now, it's my turn."
In a blink of an eye, Iris vanished, appearing instantly before Igris. With a single, devastating punch, she sent the Fire Commander crashing into the ground, leaving a massive crater. Aqua barely had time to react before a searing beam of light pierced through her chest, causing her to let out a roar of pain.
Drake attempted to summon an earthen barrier, but Iris's leg swept through it effortlessly, shattering his defenses and slamming him into the mountainside.
Breez, the last to be struck, tried to take flight, but Iris's fingers tightened around his throat. With a sickening crack, she threw him down, his colossal form crumbling beneath her overwhelming power.
The Four Elemental Commanders lay broken and beaten, gasping for breath, unable to rise.
