In a fury, Delmedi drew her sword and pointed it at the Headless Knight. “Do you know who you are talking to?”
The Headless Knight replied in a cold, robotic voice, “What are your wishes and sacrifices?”
With a wave of one hand, Delmedi gathered the snow to envelop the Headless Knight’s feet, trying to freeze him to death. But, the Headless Knight pulled the reins and escaped immediately, somehow having instantly turned all of the ice and snow into water droplets!
Delmedi’s face turned stiff. She finally recalled the familiar memory...
Delmedi looked at the Headless Knight in surprise. “You’re the Dragon Rider, the old king of the Kingdom of Rosa d’Oro, Rooney Elvis!”
The Headless Knight stood still, refusing to confirm or deny her claim. “I’m simply the Headless Knight now, and as I said, I see that you have the Ring of the Contract. So, tell me your wishes and your sacrifices, then I’ll guide you.”
Delmedi immediately remembered this old king that she fought with on the battlefield, while he was in his teens. It was the first battle that had brought her fame. Although Rooney Elvis had died at her hands, the brave old king had won her respect.
“Da*n you! How dare you blaspheme the corpses and souls of the deceased?”Delmedi ranted. She was so angry, she rushed forward with a long spire, turning the ice and snow into blue crystals in an instant!
“Die, you invader!” The Headless Knight then charged towards Delmedi.
As the horse’s hooves passed one another, black flames rose and a long burning trail of smoke appeared, melting the ice on the ground. The surrounding air warmed up in an instant.
The Headless Knight took out his sword and again headed straight for Delmedi. At this time, a large number of Death Knights and skeletons emerged from the forest behind him.
Delmedi, who had inherited the ability of a third-class dragon, was far more powerful than the Headless Knight, who had only acquired his power from the incubus. As such, it was no surprise when her spire penetrated the Headless Knight’s chest instantly.
But, this was not enough to kill the Headless Knight. For the undead, as long as the soul fire has not been extinguished, they would go on and on forever!
The ice suddenly surged upon the Headless Knight and froze him instantly, along with his horse, the two immediately forming a giant ice crystal. At this time, a large number of undead creatures rushed out of the forest.
With a wave of Delmedi’s long spire, the wind and snow swept up from the ground and instantly covered everything in front of her. The white snow covered everything in sight, including the dozens of skeletons and Death Knights, who were soon frozen into ice sculptures.
The rest of the creatures were all cut into pieces, having been slashed by Delmedi while she angrily headed for the main peak of the Andromeda Mountain. While Delmedi led the cavalry up the northern slope of the snowy mountain, a black corpse dragon appeared in the sky, emitting a strong breath that was filled with an aura of despair and death.
Riding atop the corpse dragon was a figure who was dressed in a black robe. As the figure rose directly into the sky from the snow peak of the Andromeda Mountain, ordinary people could only see a black speck, but Delmedi could feel the strong mind power, so she knew that it was an extraordinary being.
Thick, black clouds continued to come together, and a severe hail fell. Although it covered only a small area above the hillside, such a supernatural phenomenon could only be achieved by a level four or above!
As Adenos had devoured the awareness of the black dragon Giska, as well as a large number of other awarenesses over the years. He had already realized level four, which had enabled him to interfere with celestial phenomena on a small scale.
Hence, he was able to cause such huge head-like hailstones fall from the sky and land on the ground with a strong impact, smashing holes in the ground. Currently, with so many hailstones falling down, everyone felt dizzy, as if the sky and earth were spinning around them!
Delmedi and her knights were surprised by this power. A large number of knights jumped off of their horses and ran away to escape the hail. Although the knights escaped, a large number of their horses were killed by the hail.
Delmedi quickly used witchcraft to form a huge ice shield to protect everyone around her. As hail continued to fall on the shield, the thick ice that was covering the snow peak suddenly melted, sending a torrent of water sweeping over the mountain and covering everything.
Boom!
After a long time, there was a violent explosion. Delmedi looked at the black dragon and figure in the sky. Although she was arrogant, she knew that she could not beat this monster, as his force and level far surpassed hers.
Adenos took control of the corpse dragon and flew towards Delmedi. Although Adenos had no voice organ, it was not a big thing for him, as he used his mind power to enable an air vibration, which made discernible sounds for him. Adenos had then designed a bone-based speaker in his throat to project those sounds.
“The Prince of the Holy Seville Empire, Her Royal Highness Delmedi, Prince of Lion King Will!” The sound that was projecting these words was like a fingernail that was scratching a blackboard!
Adenos grinned and looked at the beautiful lady in front of him. Even though she looked somewhat awkward at the moment, she still looked at Adenos proudly.
She lifted up her head high and demanded, “Dirty Dead thing, how dare you even speak to me?”
Adenos did not realize that, even though he had completely suppressed her power, she would still be so proud! Although the first meeting between Adenos and Delmedi had been unpleasant, Adenos did not really mean to hurt this noble knight in front of him!
He merely wanted to give her a warning! As Delmedi was likewise worried about the power that Adenos had just demonstrated, the two parties decided not to fight in the end.
After asking Adenos several questions, Delmedi immediately left the Andromeda Mountain with her cavalry. After all, even the thought of staying in this dirty place and breathing the same air as Adenos made Delmedi feel sick.
“She’ll be back again!” Adenos declared, while he rode the dragon to the foot of the mountain to unlock the Headless Knight and the other monsters that Delmedi had frozen.
Adenos patted the unicorn’s back as he restored the head of the Headless Knight. The huge wound in the knight’s chest also was healed and completely disappeared.
Adenos said to the Headless Knight, “As she is the one who killed you, next time, let’s have her taste the hatred and pain of death thoroughly!”
