Chapter 168 Chapter 168 Unlikely
But she remained fixed to the spot- unable to move, gazing with wide open eyes at the creature staring before her. The girl's eyes burned right through Selina- exposing layers and layers of her own fear. She looked like she had raged through a rainfall of blood.
From her greasy hair, it was impossible to tell what color or texture it previously was. Her long bloody skirts swept the floor as she pierced her with those mocking red eyes! The air around her was thick with torturous pain and despair!
Selina gulped.
She gulped hard again.
The other figure which her dragon had swallowed was actively dissipating- like vapor returning into the atmosphere. From the smoky ruins of the ice dragon, blood red smoke curled up in fumes- masticating what had once been a beautifully sculpted dragon.
Full of spite, the girl's lips moved again;
"You're weak. . .a lot weaker than I thought. . .perhaps I gave you too much credit. . ." she slowly cocked her head at Selina; "Well, you're going to die here- like a chicken. Do you like chickens Selina?"
At that moment, Selina's tear filled eyes flashed with desperation. A cold, dreadful, sinking feeling washed over her- if she did nothing. She was going to die here. So, she did what any cornered animal would do.
Her whole body trembled violently as she drew in a deep breath. Boiling with despair, and feeling the cold, cold, hand of death encircling around her neck, Selina tapped into the enormous abundance of Yin Qi budding in her– and drew it out- chanting violently;
"DRACO!!!"
The sky over head darkened immediately.
As if in response to her war cry, streaks of lighting flashed through the heavens directly above her. The temperature took a deep plunge. Cold wisps of air now escaped from her nostrils as she lifted up both her arms- pointing northwards- channeling the fill brunt of her power.
In the stratosphere above, the bright, cold white, flashes of light began to take on the form of flapping creatures- circling around each other- wings beating furiously, charing through the air, and ruling over the atmosphere with their cold oppressive presence.
Rising, and rising, each ice dragon fought to overshadow the other- until finally- the competition stopped.
Selina exhaled.
And the five creatures swooped down on the girl dripping in blood red.
From the span of their wings, and the clashing of their jaws, flashes of ice crystals poured down freely on the earth below- flooding the terrain with sparkling white tiny icicles. Like a death squad, they tucked their wings at the side, and lurching forward- screeching in ominous notes.
The girl remained still.
Eyes gleaming coquettishly, red lips parted in a slight pout, she stood as still as a statue, seemingly unbothered- despite the squad of ice monsters raging towards her.
But this time, Selina did not crash the crystallized ice beasts into the girl.
With her ears ringing, and the land buzzing with dragon activity, she planted her feet firmly on the ground. With a tremendous display of strength, she summoned her willpower- willing them to surround the girl.
A cacophony of dreadful squeals shredded the open air. Midflight, the dragons changed trajectory, unfolded their wings, and began to hover around the red girl- encircling her like bunch of vultures, looming over her like she was prey.
From Selina's nostrils, red blood flowed down in soft trickles- evidence of just how much power she was exerting.
creating a single ice dragon was no joke. Creating five was a feat reserved for legends. However, controlling all of them, and restraining them from crashing was something ice mages could never dream of. Selina was operating on a god-level now.
Her shoulders heaved, and she coughed violently- splurting a rich phlegm of blood and mucus. Her body was starting to tell. At the last moment, assured that there was no way out, and having sufficiently trapped the girl within- Selina let go.
At once, the blood thirsty dragons descended on the girl- snapping like a band of wild beasts and eager to shred her to bits. Eyes wide open, and struggling to remain on her feet, she watched anxiously as the dragons went to town on the girl.
Their sharp claws, their crystal wings, and their rabid movements shredded the herb garden to nothingness.
Suddenly, in the midst of all that chaos, a red blur streaked silently.
Selina's eyes narrowed anxiously. She lurched her head forward- taking an ambitious step towards the carnage- foaming at the mouth, and eager to see the mangled remains of the arrogant girl.
Then the red blur came again.
Fresh ripples of fear crept through her mind. Doubt slowly began to set it, eating away at the crevices of her confidence. Finally, the dust, smoke, and violent scrimmaging cleared- and Selina's heart sank.
No!
She took a step backwards- it can't be!
The girl had disappeared- again!
From the tight bunch of ice dragons huddled togther, clouds of blood red smoke curled up from the carnage- again!
Along the surface of her pale skin, fear crawled up on her- slithering all over her being, and entangling her in a web of uncertainties and doubts.
Dragging her soles backwards, unconsciously, her weaker foot shuffled along the earth- , inching away from the icy blood red ruins. Still trained on the sight ahead, her wide eyes widened more and more and tiny gasps escaped her throat in intermission.
In real time, she watched as the smoke- the dreadful color of red, ascended from the formation of dragons- defiantly rising into the air in a thick pillar of blood red puffs.
But that was the least of her worries.
The dragons- which were a direct manifestation of her Yin Qi, were not pleased at all. Huddled together, in cascades of dense, icy white crystals, their frosty wings clashed against each other. Their massive jaws sank ferociously into the spot where the girl had been- snapping wildly- screeching, and filling the atmopshere with their icy metallic wrath.
They had been robbed.
And they didn't seem to be pleased about it- at all.
On their two legs, sturdy as a rock, they slowly raised their heads. Their thick icy necks, clothed with lightning, cracked ominously as they arched their massive deathly heads upwards.
Not daring to blink, Selina's heart skipped a beat.
Lips quivering, and eyes gleaming, she watched in real time, as all five dragons lifted their heads up, and turned away from the coiling red smoke- and turned their blood lust on her!
shit.
Her insides churned- and her blood ran cold in despair.
shit.
She cursed again.
This can't be happening. . .
But it was- happening. Right before her, all five dragons swung their tails behind them- heaving their heavy bodies, their clawed feet thudded upon the surface of the earth- snatching up the soil, and swerving their massive icy bodies in a full one eighty- standing on the earth, side by side, in perfect formation, burning their homicidal gaze into her.
Selina shoulders, arms, and upper body shuddered- but not from the cold.
In the cold lifeless eyes of all five dragons- a new kind of blue fire kindled.
