BXBX NOVEL Chapter 166 Adult Vs Child
Blue azure flames, they did not burn the princess, but they did scorch the ground on which she stood, and were she not controlling it, it would have melted it.
The flames spun around Ella, seeming to react to her anger as it erratically rose and fell several times, letting out sounds that sounded like beasts roaring and fighting, and if one listened long enough, they would feel like they were being commanded by some unquestionable power, their knees would buckle and they might even find themselves kneeling before Ella.
Irene and Dilise were forced to take several steps back, when their bodies were bombarded by the heat of the flames, while Gastrol\'s body which should have begun cooking up actually remained relatively fine, not a single hair on his already dead body burning up.
"How dare you," Ella said, her voice containing a certain deepness and power to it like she was empress talking down to an insolent being who had gone against her, but if one looked into her eyes, they would see the more than abundant anger bubbling within them.
The flames on Ella\'s body rose till they seemed like they would touch the ceiling before falling back on her, the flames forming the image of some winged beast around her, with some of it condensing into a blue fiery spear which she took hold off, and then without delay, she kicked off the ground and charged at Seth.
The ground was set ablaze everywhere Ella\'s feet touched, and when she was within attacking range of Seth, she trusted her spear forward, the flames around her raging more fiercely.
Ella seemed like an unstoppable force, but immediately her spear came into contact with Seth\'s outstretched palm the fiery spear fizzled out, breaking apart and dispersing as Ella found herself colliding with Seth, the flames which had seemed undying on her also fizzling out like water quenching a fire.
In the end, all that was left was a stunned woman trembling within Seth\'s grip around her neck, and a few seconds later, she fainted without Seth having done anything.
Seth had felt the incredible power of Ella\'s flames, and once again had to update his memory on the most powerful flame he had ever observed.
The first thing that Seth\'s mind had registered on seeing Ella\'s flames was to make sure to avoid it no matter the cost, even if he had to sacrifice Irene.
Ella\'s flames were on a totally different level from anything Seth had ever seen, and he had no doubt his regeneration would fail to keep up with her flame\'s destructive power for even up to a minute, so he had been left debating on whether either turn and flee or use his dragon breath.
Perhaps it was arrogance or his unwillingness to accept that Ella\'s flames were stronger, but Seth was filled with confidence that his dragon breath was more than enough to deal with Ella\'s flame, but in the end, he decided to flee.
Since his breakthrough to the third soldier level, Seth hadn\'t used his dragon breath, yet he was more than sure that were he to unleash it, Ella and everything behind her would be burned to ashes, meaning Irene would also die.
Seth had just been about to leave when he was suddenly filled with confidence, and no this wasn\'t his usual arrogance, it was like that feeling an adult had if they were suddenly told the dreaded opponent they were meant to fight was a two-year-old child.
No matter how handsome, special, intelligent, or well taken care of the child was, the adult will always be more than sure that they could defeat the child, and this was how Seth felt.
At that moment, Ella was like a little child to Seth, so he stood his ground, and when Ella got close enough and launched her attack, he lifted up his right hand, his palm open, and received her spear strike.
Seth had no idea what was going to happen, one could say that he operated on mere instincts, and the results left him both surprised and satisfied, and now as he held Ella, the woman dangling from his hand, he spoke.
"Come out else she dies," Seth said, Visibly applying pressure on Ella s neck, the woman\'s fair face slowly turning red, more than enough proof that she was being strangled.
....
The events of today had been one of thrill, some dread, and for all of them shock, but no shock was greater than the one being felt at the moment.
Both Dilise and Irene had thought Seth had been tricked and had fallen into a trap, being locked in a seal the princess boasted to be the strongest in the whole kingdom, but to their shock, Seth had easily freed himself from this seal, and just when they thought the surprises were over, another surprise was revealed to them.
Ella seemed to have snapped as she called forth a dreadful power, one which had everyone present trembling in fear and more than ready to listen to any of the woman\'s commands, but when the woman had used this power to attack Seth, he had literally snuffed it out the same way one would use their hands to snuff out a match stick.
"Come out or else she dies" Both Irene and Dilise heard Seth say but his words surprised them as they couldn\'t sense or in Irene\'s case see anyone around.
Seeing no one come out, Seth tightened his grip on Ella\'s neck, the increase in pressure immediately turning her face completely red, but before this action could draw out who Seth was looking for, it drew a shout out of Dilise.
"Princess" Dilise screamed in fear, when she had first seen Ella, she had failed to recognize the woman as they had never met, but when Ella, had covered herself in flames, that had been more than enough of an announcement of her presence as the princess was widely known as the Blue Dragon.
