If it were any other powerful individual, perhaps they would have already considered Rebecca a bloodthirsty, cruel, and insane villain, moving to eliminate her.

 

However, Violet, who had once glimpsed little Rebecca’s memories on the third floor of the prison and witnessed her becoming a throne of the [Eternal Throne], knew very well that Rebecca was not that kind of person.

 

Otherwise, Menna wouldn’t have trusted her so casually and cooperated with her.

 

But…

 

“Now that the deed is done, defending oneself is nothing more than a feeble plea. The Dragon Clan will never bow to anyone. I would rather fight.”

 

“The Dragon Clan?”

 

Violet pondered for a moment.

 

“Are you Alexia? Where’s Rebecca?”

 

“…There is no Rebecca or Alexia anymore. Don’t you understand, Miss Violet? The Twin Dragon Princess has been a unique entity from the beginning, a unified soul. Since that day, our lives and everything have merged into one.”

 

The Dragon Princess revealed her claws, and scales began to spread across the girl’s body.

 

“Words are useless. Today, I only seek a battle. Even in death, I have no regrets.”

 

So that’s how it is…

 

No wonder Rebecca agreed to join the Eternal Throne after the experiment.

 

For the little girl Rebecca, the other party was an assailant, but for the Blue Dragon Alexia, the Eternal Throne was the helper that allowed her to regain her life.

 

Violet didn’t know where they had found this remnant soul of the Blue Dragon among the living dead, but now, it didn’t matter.

 

Rebecca was a contradictory amalgamation.

 

Now, she possessed the memories and body of the original human Rebecca, as well as the values, power, and dragon soul of the Blue Dragon Alexia.

 

Being neither human nor dragon, one couldn’t judge her actions with common sense.

 

Well, if they wanted to fight, then let’s fight.

 

After all, actions spoke louder than words, especially when dealing with someone of significant strength. Otherwise, it would just be empty talk.

 

“Alright, come…”

 

Before the word “come” could fully drop, the blue-haired Dragon had already appeared a hundred meters away, ruthlessly slashing down with her claws in front of the priestess.

 

However, Violet, with a speed faster than hers, moved first and effortlessly dodged Rebecca’s claw attack, causing it to swipe through the air.

 

“You don’t have battle ethics.”

 

“Hmph!”

 

Without any intention of communication, Rebecca, missing her first strike, immediately changed tactics. The dragon claw transformed from a slash into a sweep, horizontally chopping towards Violet’s waist.

 

At the same time, her dragon tail was not idle. While the dragon claw swept horizontally, it also swung from another tricky angle to strike and trap Violet!

 

Clearly, in terms of close combat skills, Rebecca far surpassed Violet, who was a priest.

 

Although able to react, due to a lack of skill, someone momentarily didn’t know how to defend. They simply stood their ground and inserted the sacred staff in their hands vertically, blocking the inevitable path of the dragon claw. As for the dragon tail that swept from behind, they just left it unattended.

 

Ding!

 

The dragon claw struck the artifact, the 【Eternal Scepter of the World’s Heart】, and naturally couldn’t cause any damage to it. Instead, it left Rebecca’s fingers numb, making it difficult for her to inch forward. At the same time, the dragon tail, carrying a whistling wind and a heavy force, slammed heavily on Violet’s back, producing a deep, muffled sound of impact.

 

Rebecca felt a slight confusion. Although she hadn’t expected such a simple defense, the opponent, like a rookie in combat, seemed confused and unable to cope. However, a battle was still a battle. The dragon tail, no less formidable than the claws, should have inflicted some minor injuries even on the trascendent-level being with such an attack…

 

“Hey, good hit, come again!”

 

Unexpectedly, the black-haired girl in a white robe, enduring that blow with her body, acted as if nothing had happened. She showed a few gleaming white teeth, laughed openly at Rebecca, and then turned around, swinging the staff towards her!

 

“!”

 

Knowing the power of this weapon, the Twin Dragon Princess dared not confront it directly. She immediately retreated, avoiding the staff strike while simultaneously creating distance from Violet.

 

The priestess did not pursue.

 

Through the recent exchanges, she had roughly assessed the strength of the second seat of the Eternal Throne. There was certainly a super-level strength, but if evaluated with the more precise values of the [Illusory World], it was probably around level 55-60. Speed and strength, estimated within a range, should fall between 5000 and 10000.

 

As a pure priestess, Violet’s own strength and agility attributes were just below 7,000.

 

However, after breaking through the level 100 limit, she possessed a passive effect named “Worldly Blessing,” which added +9999 to all three attributes. So, her actual permanent strength and agility were around 15,000, already significantly higher than Rebecca’s.

 

Moreover, she was currently in the additional state of 【Divine Feather】.

 

This inherently high-tier ability, evolved from the unique equipment, the artifact 【Feather Robe Graria】, was already considered Violet’s exclusive ability, beyond evaluation with magical grades.

 

The effect was certainly more than just granting her the ability to fly.

 

Apart from the basic high-speed flight, the wings themselves served as a powerful defensive measure. Additionally, they bestowed Violet with a remarkably high agility bonus.

 

Just the attributes attached to this skill were enough to boost the priestess’s agility to around 30,000.

 

Furthermore, what Violet currently showcased and regularly used was just the most basic form of “Divine Feather.” This skill could be further enhanced by increasing its tier, adding more wings and forms to continue raising the additional attribute values, and even introducing additional effects.

 

Of course, this came with a significant increase in MP consumption, so unless Violet was truly engaged in full-fledged combat, she rarely activated the skill to its full extent.

 

At her current level, it was already enough to dominate over Rebecca in terms of speed.

 

In the face of previous attacks, Violet could easily deploy a defense barrier or counterattack with magic. However, against an opponent of super-level caliber, it was not necessary for her to resort to real measures. She considered it more as an opportunity to practice close combat skills.

 

These aspects, completely irrelevant in the game world, were indeed the shortcomings of the priestess. If possible, Violet would still like to familiarize herself with them as much as she could.

 

In contemplation, the Twin Dragon Princess had once again charged forward.

 

However, this time, it was already different from before.

 

“Arcane Surge!”

 

A deep blue, dazzling tail flame trailed behind Rebecca as her speed dramatically increased. Yet, her variation in tactics did not end there.

 

“Frost Domain: Illusory Dragon Claw!”

 

Raising her arm, Rebecca, in the airspace spanning several thousand meters around her, immediately conjured a biting cold wind. Despite being above the clouds, countless blade-like snowflakes densely danced and surged toward Violet.

 

Simultaneously, an ice dragon claw, extending from the end of Rebecca’s arm and reaching a length of a hundred meters, rapidly took shape. It thunderously descended towards Violet like a bolt of lightning!

 

“Soul Devourer!”

 

A black stream of energy surged into the sky, merging under Rebecca’s control with the massive ice dragon claw. It seemed to be draped in a twilight-like veil, clearly indicating that this power didn’t belong to the dragon race. It was a force bestowed upon her through the fusion of experimentally imbued spirits.

 

Utilizing the momentum of the impact, the three elements merged into one. This was the all-out strike of a trascendent-level powerhouse.
