Rebecca burned, burning more intensely than ever before.

 

The icy blue frost flames consumed her soul, body, the power gathered from countless resentful spirits, profound sins, and everything else.

 

Her figure gradually blurred in the flames, transforming into a nearly sky-obscuring, hundred-meter-long blue dragon.

 

Every scale was vivid, like a real entity. The power of arcane and frost danced around the giant dragon, her aura constantly rising, surpassing one peak after another!

 

As a fusion of the soul of the Blue Dragon and the original human Rebecca, she shouldn’t have been able to transform into a true dragon body. However, this strike, burning everything she had, was a move truly staking her life. Surprisingly, relying on sheer immense energy, it forcefully reconstructed Alexia’s complete body.

 

Without a doubt, at least at this moment, her power had reached a level beyond the peak.

 

Even in seeking redemption, the pride of the dragon race didn’t allow Rebecca to casually give up resistance, to be killed by someone. So, she waited, verifying the strength of Violet, this “Visitor.”

 

Then, the blue dragon roared, diving towards the white-robed girl!

 

“Roar!!!!”

 

After that, an endless light descended upon the world.

 

They converged into a radiant light spirit identical to Violet’s appearance, rising behind the priestess girl. Initially only three meters tall, in the brief moment when the frosty dragon approached, the light spirit rapidly expanded. Faster than the previous “Light Protection,” in the blink of an eye, it exceeded a hundred meters.

 

With a casual wave, countless lights gathered into a magnificent golden holy spear, matching the approaching blue dragon, and shot out like a javelin!

 

“Roar, roar, roar!!!”

 

The frost dragon formed by Rebecca opened its mouth, spewing out a terrifying cold breath. However, before that golden meteor, it was torn apart as if it were bamboo, unstoppable.

 

The holy spear mercilessly pierced through the giant dragon’s body, emerging from its back, tracing a golden arc before gradually dispersing.

 

Along with the dissipation, the colossal body of the blue dragon, which had stiffened in the air, also vanished. Her dragon eyes were rapidly losing their light, but in the depth of her gaze, there was no resentment, only acceptance, release, and a faint sense of nostalgia.

 

“Thank you… Miss… Violet…”

 

“No need to thank.”

 

The light spirit of “I am the Light” returned to its original size of three meters, floating behind Violet. No new holy spears were summoned, and her master also lowered the staff in her hand.

 

The battle had come to an end.

 

The second Eternal Throne—Twin Dragon Princess Alexia was slain in the sky, above the City of Courage.

 

“That’s… some closure, I guess, giving you my own closure, don’t blame me, Miss Rebecca.”

 

Without looking at the dispersing girl whose fate was already sealed, the black-haired girl turned and descended below the clouds.

 

…………………..

 

The tea party with Menna and the aerial battle didn’t consume much time. When they returned to the palace square, the lively coronation ceremony for the new king was still ongoing. Lilya stood on the high platform, giving her first public speech after ascending to the throne.

 

However, a certain dragon lady who should have been here was nowhere to be seen. Only two winged ladies nervously waited, shrinking and huddled together.

 

“Hey!”

 

“Wow! We’re so sorry, Lady Violet! We couldn’t stop Miss Xiao Guang, and we’re really sorry for letting you down! Please don’t be angry, uh…!”

 

Having just patted Rene on the shoulder from behind, the young girl shivered in fear. Her mouth poured out a rapid-fire stream of words like a machine gun. By the time her sister Leila realized the problem and tried to cover her mouth, it was already too late.

 

Violet raised an eyebrow with a half-smile.

 

“Oh? That little Xiao Guang didn’t behave herself? Where did she go?”

 

It was quite rare. Although Violet had only verbally warned the three girls not to follow, without issuing any forceful commands, the usually obedient little dragon girl had actually defied the instructions and sneaked out?

 

It was probably due to curiosity and concern that she couldn’t hold back. She quietly followed Violet. In fact, the priestess had sensed it vaguely through their contract but was too lazy to bother.

 

“Uh, well…”

 

The two sisters exchanged glances, hesitated under the scrutinizing gaze of the priestess, and finally spilled the beans— a certain dragon lady had only stayed with them for less than ten minutes, then became visibly anxious. After warning the helpless sisters not to snitch on her, she quickly followed through the contract link, rushing off to whatever urgency awaited her.

 

It wasn’t far from Violet’s speculation.

 

She wasn’t adamant about keeping Xiao Guang in the dark about Menna’s situation, but given that little clumsy dragon’s intellect, it wasn’t certain she could grasp the complexities. It might lead to more questions and explanations, making things unnecessarily complicated.

 

However, if she had sneaked out, Xiao Guang should have returned earlier than them. The absence of any sign of the dragon hinted that she might have encountered some trouble.

 

But that seemed highly unlikely.

 

Violet didn’t believe that there was anything in the Human United Kingdom that could threaten a level 100 Holy Crystal Dragon. Besides, Xiao Guang hadn’t sought help through their contract. If there were any real issues, that little dragon would know how to prioritize.

 

So, there could only be one reason.

 

Well, let her stay for a while. After all, it’s a rare occasion to meet someone of the same kin, even if it’s just a blue dragon.

 

…………………………

 

At the source of the adventurer’s river, on a deserted hilltop, a young girl with dark blue long hair lay peacefully with closed eyes.

 

She had deep blue dragon horns on her head, and her tail extended from behind, dragging on the ground. Although she wore no clothing, her body was covered in a layer of dark blue, fine scales, protecting the essential areas like armor.

 

There was a bowl-sized penetrating wound on her chest, the only injury on her body.

 

There was no blood, as if it had already dried up.

 

She was already dead.

 

It could be seen from her completely still chest and the pallor of her face.

 

If nothing unexpected happened, someone would discover this exotic creature that inexplicably met its end within the kingdom’s borders in a few days. They would either bury it on the spot or simply burn it to ashes.

 

This was Rebecca, the girl who should have faced this end after everything concluded.

 

But…

 

A faint golden light quietly blossomed within the pierced chest of the Dragon.

 

The muscles and veins, thoroughly destroyed by the scorching holy light, began to squirm once again. They gradually grew, entwining each other, constructing organs, muscles, bones, and skin. The blood, vaporized by the terrifying power, started flowing once again within the girl’s body.

 

Her face regained a rosy color, the cavity in her chest was filled, healed, turning back into the fair skin a girl should have, adorned with azure scales that modestly concealed her modesty.

 

Finally, one of the essential symbols of life, breathing, reappeared on the body that had already died.

 

Rebecca slowly opened her eyes, sat up, and revealed the expression that every resurrected being inevitably displays—confusion and bewilderment.

 

“I… was killed, right? Why… is this perhaps hell? Does the gods think that just one death is not enough to atone for the sins I once committed…?”

 

Trying to clench her fist, the familiar sensation of power left the girl even more bewildered.

 

At that moment, a somewhat indifferent female voice quietly sounded in the Twin Dragon Princess’s ear.

 

“That’s enough. Get up for me. Don’t show that weak expression. It would disgrace the dignity of our dragon race.”

 

“You’re still alive.”
