Chapter 1612 “Heartache (2)”

Keeper Ling didn’t relent in his attacks, only increasing in his furor by throwing blow after blow out towards the demonic being. Sadly for him though, that deep dark flame reacted with a mind of its own, burning and incinerating any energy blade he shot at her. Then to counter his own attacks, the pyre of black suddenly took on the shape of a dragon and pounced at himself, whistling over in a mounting charge of death!

“Run!” Keeper Yellow grits his teeth and yells this out aloud, not wanting to keep mixing himself with this freaky girl. He could see the attacks were fruitless.

When did the Demon Realm have another strong one like this? Why didn’t we know about this?

Seeing Yellow already fleeing for his own life, the other Keepers who also witnessed this immediately turned tail and ran as well. However, one of them acted just a tad too late there and got caught by the flaming dragon that coiled into a deathly grip around the leg. By the time any of them realizes this had befallen one of their own, it was already late.... All they could hear were the deafening scream of their own brother in this dark damp night as they glanced backwards. As much as their hearts wanted to help, they are aware there’s nothing they could do but flee from the scene of carnage....

Dragony wasn’t going to let them escape of course. Increasing her pace to give chase, the girl didn’t make it far before a hand suddenly grabbed her by the shoulder and stopped her on the spot. As retaliation, she swiped backwards in a reflexive jab at the person.

Bang!

The one doing this was none other than First Elder who had just arrived on the site. He did not expect such a strong reaction in that instant and took the hit fully, causing his old body to stumble backwards and shuddering in dismay. But as the old saying goes, an old bone always has more experience than the young. Despite getting hit, the old timer was quickly able to recover and make sense of the carnage around the ruined city.

“Princess Dragony, what is going on here?” Then seeing the wounds all over the young lass’s body, First Elder’s face darkened as he peered in the direction of those fleeing Keepers, “Is it the Celestial Palace who did this to you?”

Yet no reply came from the princess’s mouth, only an indifferent stare at the old elder before turning back to her initial course of giving chase.

“You can’t go!” First Elder exclaims, quickly reaching out again to grab hold of Dragony’s hand, “You are injured, if you continue to overdraw on your powers then your life will be expended and you’ll die!”

Funny part was that Dragony never intended to live after this fight anyways, thus making the elder’s concern moot. Once she kills them all from the Celestial Palace then she would kill herself regardless, it doesn’t matter in the end.

“Go away!” Finding the old elder won’t go away, Dragony releases a sliver of her powers to shove the person away.

This appalled the old elder. In honest truth, he never thought the young dragoness would hold such powers that threatened even himself. Above all, he could tell Dragony was already tapping into the dragon essence inside herself to power this feat. If this continues then nothing would be able save her!

Like the old man suspected, the situation has gone from bad to worse in this brief period. However, not all hope was lost, Dragony still had a glimpse of sanity left in her, otherwise the girl would’ve attacked the old grandpa in force at the beginning.

“Princess Dragony, you mustn’t go, the Celestial Palace will be dealt with by the forces of the Demon Realm. At this rate you will really die! If you die then what about the queen, your mother? And what about Prince Xiachen? He is going to be extremely sad if you die!” Hurrying to get in front with arms spread, First Elder didn’t want to risk letting her get away after seeing that feet moving.

And sure enough, the very mention of those two brought a wavering stall to Dragony’s movement. Yet it’s not due to her coming back to reason, nay, it’s an intensified anger swirling in those eyes like it’s going to erupt!
