The Azure Dragon, with its scales shimmering like sapphires under the moonlight, was both captivated and shocked by Raiden's shameless behavior. It never expected this handsome and gentle youth to be so audacious, especially showing such disregard for time and place when bringing up sensitive matters.
The Azure Dragon's fury reached its peak. With a rough movement, he shook his mountain-sized head, hoping Raiden and Melinda would fall from their perch above.
However, Melinda swiftly anticipated this. With lightning-fast reflexes, she activated her translocation magic, teleporting right beside the crown princess who stood tall in her white silk robe. Without warning, Raiden smacked the long-haired woman's ass hard, disrupting the negative emotions enveloping her.
In an instant, the suppression qi released by the crown princess dissipated due to the unexpected stimulation of her buttocks. "W-what are you doing?!" she asked with a stuttering voice full of nervousness, her face red as a tomato, and her eyelids trembling softly.
In all her life, the crown princess known for her beauty and grace had never been treated so lowly. Everyone gave her the highest respect, serving with utmost politeness. No matter how high-ranking the people around her were, they always bowed low when greeting her. None dared to look at her with ill intent.
But now, Raiden shamelessly embraced her body from behind, wrapping both arms around her slender waist. Caught off guard, the crown princess couldn't dodge when Raiden approached swiftly and intimately from behind.
"L-let me go!!" she screamed loudly, her face reddening further, brows furrowing at the strange feelings beginning to envelope her.
In all her life, the crown princess had never been touched by a man. Yet now, Raiden casually embraced her body, pressing his broad, hard chest against her soft back, the white wood fragrance from his body filling her senses.
Even faintly, the crown princess could feel the large, hard bulge pressing against her soft ass crack.
"Y-you cruel murderer, how dare you hurt my subordinate whom I've considered like my own sister!" The crown princess suddenly sobbed like a little girl, feeling helpless in Raiden's embrace. Unlike before, this time she seemed calmer, whether due to helplessness or something else.
Raiden himself felt guilty seeing the crown princess's deeply hurt expression. "Actually, I—" He was about to explain the truth about Ye Chen but stopped when the Azure Dragon intervened with a voice that echoed through the night air.
"How dare you, cursed human!" roared the Azure Dragon with burning anger. "Remove your hands from the crown princess, right now!" he continued, opening his dragon mouth slightly to create a small concentrated fire point, its light blazing like a falling star.
In an instant, the small fire point shot concentrated fire like a laser targeting Raiden's head with precision.
However, before reaching its target, Melinda drew a long straight sword from the scabbard at her left waist. Channeling high-powered vibration waves throughout her blade, the sword rang loudly from the intense and rapid vibrations, emitting a faint dark purple light, creating a stunning visual effect in the dark night.
With a hypersonic horizontal movement, Melinda successfully split the fire laser in two, quickly dispersing it into the air. Her blade produced focused sonic shock waves capable of precisely disrupting the coherence of the Azure Dragon's fire laser.
Witnessing this, the Azure Dragon felt both annoyed and surprised. He never expected this human woman to neutralize his attack, despite him being a proud mythical being.
Rage burned within Azure Dragon. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined a mere human could directly counter her attacks. Magical energy gathered in massive quantities, flowing like a torrent through her veins. Brilliant blue light enveloped her massive form as the transformation process began. The silhouette of the mighty dragon slowly shrank, metamorphosing into a perfect humanoid figure of a woman.
Azure Dragon now stood with terrifying elegance several meters before Melinda. A light blue cheongsam draped her body like a frozen waterfall. Her straight, waist-length azure hair danced gently, as if defying the breeze that caressed it. Her tall stature was blessed with long legs and hourglass curves sculpted to perfection. Her snow-white skin glowed without a single blemish. Her presence radiated the aura of an ageless mature woman - a deadly combination of maturity and youth at the peak of perfection.
Azure Dragon's golden irises flashed sharp as sword blades, glaring at Melinda with menace. "Little girl, your power is impressive. But that arrogance of yours... I'll shatter it to pieces!" Her voice, hoarse with suppressed anger, echoed in the air, making the surrounding temperature seem to drop several degrees.
Her right hand rose with lethal grace. Instantly, a giant dragon claw manifested as blue metaphysical energy around her smooth arm, creating distortions in the surrounding air.
Melinda smirked playfully, not intimidated in the least. Her sword remained shrouded in dark purple vibration waves that hissed dangerously. In the blink of an eye, translocation magic brought her directly above Azure Dragon's head.
A tremendous boom shook the battlefield as Melinda's sword clashed with Azure Dragon's metaphysical claws in a vertical slash. Sonic shockwaves exploded in the air, destroying all solid structures within their radius, creating small craters in the ground.
Azure Dragon was pushed back by the tremendous pressure, leaving tracks in the ruined earth. Unwilling to yield, she quickly formed similar metaphysical claws on her left hand. With lightning-fast movements, she launched a lethal counterattack.
Melinda had no choice but to evade. She translocated dozens of meters to the left, ensuring her position continued to protect the young master who still held the crown princess in his protection.
"Demolition Gusts!" Azure Dragon chanted her spell with a muffled voice that vibrated the air. Her right claw, now wrapped in compressed wind elements, swung diagonally, releasing five giant emerald-colored wind blades that shot forth with terrifying speed toward Melinda.
"Damn, the speed is insane!" Melinda cursed softly, sensing the mortal danger threatening her life. The five lethal wind blades were ready to tear her body apart in a fraction of a second.
With hurried but trained movements, Melinda gathered vibration waves in her left palm. She thrust her hand forward, releasing an expanding shockwave as emergency defense, creating air distortions that looked like cracked glass.
The collision of both attacks created a horrifying phenomenon. The air seemed to tear and burn at their meeting point. However, Melinda's rushed preparation caused her defense to crumble instantly. The five wind blades continued their devastating advance, though slightly reduced in speed.
Just as Melinda was about to translocate to safety, Azure Dragon released her oppressive dragon fear aura.
"Urghh... my body!" Melinda gasped as she realized her body was becoming rigid and paralyzed, as if bound by invisible chains.
"That annoying teleportation of yours won't work anymore!" Azure Dragon hissed with hatred. A cruel smile played on her lips, eager to see her opponent torn apart by her own magic.
But as a trained holy knight, Melinda didn't give up so easily. She channeled magical energy into her motor system, creating controlled vibration waves that synchronized her body's frequency with her brain's commands. In an instant, her body control returned, making Azure Dragon's eyes widen in disbelief.
Melinda translocated behind Azure Dragon with surprising speed. With precise movements, she channeled magical energy into the dragon's body, then activated translocation magic to move Azure Dragon directly in front of her own wind blades.
"Taste your own medicine!" A triumphant cry escaped Melinda's lips as she successfully turned the tables, making Azure Dragon's face turn deathly pale.
Under the mesmerizing moonlight, the figure of the Azure Dragon stood in humanoid female form, displaying a confident and mocking smile. With a movement akin to a dance, she extended her right hand, effortlessly dispelling the sharp wind blades that threatened her. The magical energy within the attack was dismantled, causing the blades to scatter into the air in a brief flash.
Melinda, with awe-inspiring agility, teleported three meters ahead of the Azure Dragon. In one fluid motion, her sword was raised high, emanating a thrilling aura. With extraordinary force, she swung her sword downward. From the sharp edge of the blade, a wave of vibration formed a dark purple crescent, shooting straight forward. The wave roared loudly, shaking the surroundings with an intensity capable of causing a local tremor, devastating the landscape with its destructive power.
The vibrational wave struck the humanoid body of the Azure Dragon. The dragon's strong scales glistened, shielding it from the potentially lethal cut. However, the impact of the powerful vibrations shook her body intensely, causing the ground around them to tremble.
"Urgh... Damn it!" the Azure Dragon exclaimed, her voice weakened and stuttering. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, yet her extraordinary resilience prevented severe injury. Her eyes burned with determination, realizing that Melinda had not yet given up.
Recognizing the ever-looming threat, the Azure Dragon decided to unleash her full power. From her now-open mouth, a high-intensity flame burst forth, attempting to shatter Melinda's rhythm as she prepared for her next assault. The fire danced in the air, creating terrifying patterns in the night sky.
In the midst of this tense situation, the Azure Dragon's natural regenerative abilities began to activate. Her wounded cells started to heal, rapidly restoring her strength. Meanwhile, Melinda had to struggle fiercely to avoid the relentless fire blasts from the regenerating Azure Dragon.
Melinda, now trapped in a raging storm of fire, deflected each attack with her sword enveloped in vibrational waves. "Dammit, I never expected a dragon to have such magical energy capacity to continuously launch massive attacks!" she muttered, parrying the flames with astonishing skill.
The endless fire assault created a vast sea of flames, consuming every material in its path. This terrifying phenomenon engulfed the imperial palace area, creating a horrifying spectacle in the midst of their fierce battle. Under the night sky filled with the light of fire, these two mighty beings fought with all their might, each determined not to yield.
