Chapter 167 Chapter 167 Fight Back
Every nine seconds- like clockwork, she would turn back, and stare blindly into the dense fog of green behind her, searching for any signs- even the slightest distortion.
Selina's heart was practically in her mouth, The metallic taste of fear rose from her gut like bile. Hands flattened on the brown soil below, knees digging into the earth, and her feet dragging behind, her long white hair swayed as she frantically fought to get away from the presence.
She could not see.
And yet, she felt the crazed S-rank entity hot on her heels- gaining quickly, breathing down her neck, unfolding a scythe- ready to reap her soul from her body.
'Damn it. . .who the fuck hates me this bad?!'
Her eyes stung from the rising dust.
'I've certainly made my fair share of enemies. . .but this. . .' a finger nail broke; 'But this is insane. . .'
Right on cue, the crazy mage screamed;
"I'M COMING FOR YOU SELINA!!" she screeched maniacally; "YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER!"
But Selina had no intention of running forever.
-----------------------------------
The smoky clouds cruised softly towards the yellow ball in the sky- eclipsing its ultraviolet rays- temporarily plunging the farm in a shadow of dull gray.
The timing could not have been perfect.
Right on cue, Selina suddenly stopped.
In between a bushy shrub and a slender trunk, she raised her head up- slowly.
Face flashing with a newfound resolve, Selina's shoulders tensed up as she slowly ascended-? rising up from the ground like a vengeful ghoul. Her stained white gown fluttered, and the southbound wind picked up her long curly white hair.
Eyes cackling with a rebellious fire, Selina's upper body rose up- exposing herself- declaring an end to the game of cat and mouse.
It was time.
Selina knew it.
Deep inside her bone marrows, the effects of the IceCore elixir began to come into play. All over her body, her pores broke into bouts of cold sweat. As she rose to her full height, her breaths came rasping out- and her nostrils flared. Streaking through her eyes were gleams of fearlessness.
It was time.
Both her legs parted slightly- shuffling her feet along the naked soil- creating a center of gravity. From her sides, her long slender arms ascended towards the air- slowly arching upwards in a yoga-like position.
Instantly, the temperature dropped by a few degrees.
Flashing like crystals, both her cloudy grey eyes turned icy blue- the color of burning ice. A soft wind, in the background, suddenly picked up- rustling through the trees, forcing the thickets of leaves to sway in noisy submission.
In the cloudy gray sky above- the sun remained hidden- watching silently.
The female voice- biting as usual, came cackling into her ears;
"Good," it said; "Very good Selina. . .I see you've finally decided to grow a pair of balls. . ."
But Selina wasn't Selina anymore.
Pointing her arms up vertically- her tremendous power touched the heavens, and flashes of lightning cracked in the cloudy sky above. She blinked. Just once.
And a surge of dense Yin Qi rushed from her beating heart, surged through her arteries, blazed upwards through her pointed arms- and escaped from her fingertips in bursts of cold white lightning.
Hair lapping in the rushing wind, eyes blazing, and arms upwards- Selina's blue lips parted as she whispered coldly;
'Draco-'
At once, there was a blinding flash in the sky. On the ground, an explosion tore through the grarden at the sudden burst of Yin Qi. In the stratosphere, fifteen feet above the woman's ethereal form, a terrifying sight emerged.
The sounds of swooshing wings- crackling unnaturally, screeched through the air. Underneath the span of wings, a thick torso emerged- followed by a long tail that snapped wildly in the air. And then, just above the body, the massive, horned, jagged head of a dragon formed.
Looking like a statue come alive, the two, cold, lifeless eyes of the beast shone brightly like diamonds in the night sky. As it beat its massive wings above Selina, cold gusts of air came rushing through the herb garden- swirling through, and subduing the ground below.
Selina went to work immediately.
Capitalizing on the surprise attack, she took advantage of the ice dragon's altitude, and linked her own sight to its fiery eyes.
Like an oracle, she stood under the beast in a daze, seeing everything it saw- searching DESPERATELY for her hidden enemy.
In the fraction of a moment, she isolated the human form that was heading towards her from the southeast. A renewed rage surged through her, crackling like thorns in a forest fire- and turning her her vision bloody red. This was the fool?! This was the bitch responsible for terrorizing her afternoon?!
In one breath, Selina swiftly moved to make her pay.
In a blinding flash of light, the dragon raged towards the female entity- swooshing through the air like an arrow that had been shot out of a bowstring- and descending furiously on the enemy with its icy wings.
Through the eyes of the dragon- Selina saw it all in real time.
It was over in a heartbeat.
With nowhere to escape to, the massive icy beast bore down on the S-rank enemy- totally encasing the woman in a crystallized prison. A silent gasp escaped Selina's mouth. In her chest, her heart fluttered as streaks of victory swept through her in sweet pangs.
'Yes!' she exclaimed inwardly; 'The hunter had become the hunted! Not so powerful now are you? You pompous, spiteful S-rank whore of a–'
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SMILING ABOUT?"
The cold voice assaulted her ears from behind;
"YOU REALLY THOUGHT THAT WAS IT?!"
Selina's smile instantly disappeared.
Panicky, her eyes sank, and she jumped backwards- heart thumping wildly as devastation displaced elation. Her sweaty palms clammed up as she looked at the icy prison of the ice dragon up ahead. Could the bitch have esca–
NO. That's impossible.
And yet, the icy ruins of her dragon stared her in the face.
Doubt stretched her mind thin. She hardly felt the throbbing pain jutting in her abdomen. Raw fear, enveloped her, along with the sinking feeling of hopelessness- leaving her stark naked- like a city without walls-
No fucking way.
"What?" the voice came again; "Starting to realize you're way outta your league here huh?"
Instinctively, Selina's tendons tensed. On the balls of the soles of her feet, she rotated her voluptuous body a full one eighty- spinning her head around, and swinging her whole body backwards.
On the spot, her face went pale;
"What in the hell–"
A nightmarish sight greeted her.
Right before her, less than six feet away, stood a young girl dipped head to toe- in blood! Selina gasped in fright. Her wide eyes widened even more.
