Chapter 508 FALLEN VERONICA

Chapter 508  FALLEN VERONICA

"Nica!" Arthur screamed.

He used more force to break the witch's barrier. The purple barrier shattered into pieces.

He didn't bother to look anywhere else and flew ahead to catch Veronica.

All of a sudden, a burning fireball charged at him.

Arthur's fingertips were able to touch Veronica's hair when the fireball pushed him away.

"!!"

Arthur widened his eyes. He was so close to holding his wife but the fireball cast by the witch in the black dress took him away from her.

He forgot the burning pain in his stomach. His heart and brain filled with emptiness as he stared at Veronica falling.

Down there, Darius and the rest held their breath when they saw her fall to the ground.

Darius dashed forward with his arms open wide to catch her but Merlin used a spell and created a soft net. This way, Veronica could drop into the soft net and not get hurt.

Before she could land on the net, Veronica's eyes abruptly opened.

She didn't have the usual shiny emerald eyes. They turned into glowing golden orbs. It appeared as though her eyes were replaced with a snake's eyes since the dark pupils in the center of the golden orb were not rounded but rather straight lines.

In the span of a single instant, her entire body was consumed by flames.

Even so, she didn't seem to be in pain. She didn't scream or make any kind of sound. The flames flickered and danced around her, forming intricate patterns.

"What's happening?!" Darius exclaimed.

Others couldn't speak. They had no idea what was happening.

Soon, the fire around Veronica grew larger and larger, and everyone could see a red tail and golden horns. Her hands grew bigger and turned into wings.

In front of their eyes, the 'human' Veronica transformed into a mythical creature they had never faced before.

"…"

The spectators stared at the whole scene with a dumb expression. To them, it was more like moving pictures than an actual scene.

She not only turned into a dragon but also her personality changed.

As anger built up inside her, the dragon let out a roar, causing some of the spectators to cover their ears. She flapped her wings and took off into the sky, leaving everyone in awe of the incredible transformation they had just witnessed.

"…"

Not a word came out of anyone's mouth. Wizards and witches who saw the scene also stopped fighting and gathered around to watch the dragon.

This mythical creature was only known in children's fairy tale storybooks. To be able to see it in the midst of the war, no one imagined that.

"Wha… what is this?!"

The magicians stared at the giant beast that they had never seen before. They exclaimed and shuddered in fear.

"…A dragon… this is a dragon…" Merlin whispered.

"Veronica… just turned into a dragon… right?" Darius asked.

The grip on his ax tightened.

When he was young, he heard stories about dragons. The stories were all fictional but he didn't care. He wanted to kill a dragon; it was his dream.

At this moment, a dragon was flying in front of him, he subconsciously clenched the ax tightly.

"Darius, don't do anything stupid!" Zinnia warned him.

"B-but…" Darius hesitated.

He was scanning the heated sky, trying to locate the red dragon that disappeared in the sky.

"Darius, you can't harm her," Felix told him.

"But we don't know if that's really Veronica or not. She might try to harm us," Darius shared his worry.

"Then we will shield everyone," Merlin stated. "Don't do anything reckless. Don't forget if you fight her, you won't just fight against a dragon but also the most powerful wizard."

"Fine!" Darius lowered his ax.

He had no desire to go against Arthur and become his enemy.

It didn't take time for the mighty dragon to come back. Flying in the sky didn't make her any better. She opened her mouth and threw fire at the sand castle.

The witch's magic didn't last in front of the highest temperature. It was burned to the ground.

As for Queen Isabella, she was burned in front of everyone. Even the black smoke coming out of the owner ring cooperated with the fire and increased her suffering.

"Aargh!!"

Everyone heard a heart-shaking agonized scream of terror. They knew where the sound was coming from.

They shivered in fear. They wouldn't forget the screeching sound for a long time. It might haunt them in their dreams.

Arthur paid no attention to the queen who was burning. His eyes were fixed on the red dragon.

Truth be told, the dragon looked nothing like Veronica. There wasn't an ounce of resemblance.

Forgetting the pain in his stomach, he watched the dragon burn all the witches she came across, leaving nothing but ashes in her way. The heat was unbearable but he couldn't look away.

The wizards were confused. If it were any other time, they would drop their fight with the witches and attack the dragon as the dragons were more destructive than humans.

However, this dragon had a unique taste. It was going after witches.

Sensing that the dragon was supporting the wizards, they became confused.

They didn't know that the dragon was their Mistress. They were busy fighting their opponent. They had no idea where it appeared from and why it was supporting them.

"Find the witch!" Felix hissed.

 Zinnia, Darius and Merlin looked around the destroyed sand tower.

Due to the sudden destruction of the tower, sand was everywhere. From afar, it looked like a small sandstorm had hit the area.

However, no matter how many times they searched for the witch in the black dress, they couldn't find her. Only Queen Isabella was left with the fire and the black smoke.

Arthur stared at the mighty dragon in a daze. He still couldn't believe that his wife had turned into something he could never imagine.

 Most of the witches were almost dead. He knew he had to stop her before she caused any more destruction.

he carefully moved toward the dragon who was facing back.

"…Nica?"
