Kapitel 159: Chapter 156 - Second Phase of the King's Game (11)
Landing on the Bronze Dragon's head, Rose found herself face to face with Fleur, who wielded a broad, long sword.
"I have to admit, you're more interesting than I thought." Approaching Fleur, Rose, her hair fluttering in the wind from each beat of the dragon's wings, spoke with a smile.
"I'm glad," Fleur replied sarcastically and didn't hesitate to swing her sword down vertically.
Only a fleeting silver gleam flashed through the air.
Rose leaned back and watched in slow motion as the blade passed inches from her chin.
Shifting her center of gravity, Rose kicked Fleur squarely in the stomach, sending her sliding across the dragon's scales.
Feeling the solid connection, Rose grinned. "With your domain activated, you can't use your innate technique to hide—"
Suddenly, Rose was cut off as Fleur appeared in front of her in mere milliseconds. The tip of the sword stopped just inches from her eyes. Even Fleur herself was frozen, unable to move.
"That was dangerous. You shouldn't point sharp objects at people—they might get hurt." Rose's tone was gentle, as if it were her responsibility to teach Fleur how to be a good girl.
Having said that, Rose charged her fist with magical energy, and just as she was about to end the fight, she felt the ground give way beneath her feet and began plummeting from the sky once again.
The dragon below had flipped upside down, causing her to fall.
The massive bronze dragon snaked its long, slender neck through the air, its mouth wide open, ready to swallow Rose in one bite.
Rose twisted her body midair, narrowly avoiding the dragon's enormous jaws. She was so close that she could see her reflection in its bronze scales. But Rose didn't let the attack go unpunished—she gathered magical energy into her fist and struck the dragon's head with a powerful punch.
Boom!!!
The dragon's entire head practically caved in from Rose's blow, but no blood spilled from the mythical creature. After all, no matter how much Fleur wanted to manipulate the world around her, in the end, she was just a Rank 1 witch.
It was utterly impossible for her to create a flesh-and-blood creature within her Domain Expansion.
But because of this, even with half its face destroyed, the dragon remained alive, its mouth—or what was left of it—opening as a bright light gathered in the back of its throat.
In an instant, everything within Rose's sight transformed into a sea of bronze fire. The blistering heat scorched her skin, but the pain only deepened her smile.
Pushing through the sea of fire, Rose landed on what remained of the dragon's head, gripping both of its horns.
"You don't mind if I take this, do you?" Rose spoke, her voice dripping with sadistic glee, as she gathered strength in her hands and hips, tearing the horns from the face of the mythical beast in an instant.
Rose let the horns begin to fall and became even more brutal, grabbing both halves of the dragon's mouth and forcing them open to the limit with her current strength.
Though it couldn't compare to Special Grade strength, it was equivalent to that of a Grade 1. Even so, the dragon's mouth and half of its neck split open. If it had blood, it would have rained down in torrents at that moment.
The dragon, no longer able to continue flying, couldn't even roar as it plummeted from the sky faster than Rose, transforming into a comet and crashing into the False City of Paris.
Rose's eyes, glowing unnaturally, her blue orbs darted rapidly within her pupils, searching for the core of the entire Domain Expansion.
Suddenly, Rose's gaze locked onto a specific direction, and there, she saw Fleur's figure falling from the sky just like her.
The French bitch's finger was pointed at her, as if she were holding a gun. A cruel and cunning smile adorned Fleur's face.
"Fire," she muttered to herself, aiming at Rose's distant figure.
ZUUUUUMMMMM!!!
A razor-thin column of air sliced through the sky and appeared almost instantly in front of Rose. In that moment, the white-haired girl only reacted when she felt the sharp pain in her shoulder.
Looking down, Rose's eyes widened as she stared, stunned, at the red liquid oozing from her shoulder and floating beside her in the air.
I've been hurt?
Pain was something new to Rose. She touched her shoulder and looked at the red liquid on her fingers, then simply smiled.
Licking the blood from her fingertip, she gazed at Fleur with a wide grin.
For the first time, Fleur felt a shiver run down her spine at the sight of that maniacal smile. Rose Potter was insane—this was the only thought running through Fleur's mind as she saw that terrifying grin on such a beautiful face.
Rose no longer cared about conserving her magical energy. At that moment, she pushed her Six Eyes to their limit, using them with an intensity she had never unleashed before. Drawing on roughly 48% of a Grade 2's magical reserves, she maximized her innate technique with sheer monstrous efficiency.
An overwhelming amount of mathematical calculations raced through Rose's mind.
Extending her finger towards Fleur, she whispered calmly.
"Innate Spell Manipulation – Limitless – Blue."
A blue orb formed beside Rose, but she didn't stop there and whispered,
"Innate Spell Manipulation – Limitless – Red."
A red orb formed to Rose's left.
"Innate Spell Manipulation – Limitless – Maximum Technique: Purple Void."
What followed was the fusion of the blue and red orbs, transforming into a small purple sphere at the tip of Rose's finger.
The purple orb shot forward, turning the sky black in an instant.
Accompanied by an utterly terrifying silence, all space began to collapse from the inside out. Wherever the purple orb passed, the entire Domain Expansion was torn apart like a sheet of paper.
Fleur didn't react as the attack hit her directly; she felt no pain when her stomach was simply reduced to nothing. There was no blood or even any remains of her internal organs.
Looking down, Fleur felt blood trickling from her mouth as she calmly gazed at her gaping stomach. Blood flowed from the wound without any resistance.
With a pained and reluctant expression, she clasped her fingers together. The entire Domain Expansion began to change, shrinking rapidly and condensing into a small orb in Fleur's hand. Without hesitation, she shattered the orb.
The barriers that sustained the entire Domain Expansion shattered into millions of pieces of black glass, returning everyone to the mountaintop.
Incredibly, once they left the Domain, Fleur's body was perfectly intact. However, her face was so pale that one would think she no longer had any blood left in her body.
Rose, clutching her face with a pained expression, looked at Fleur in shock. She had been prepared to be disqualified for Fleur's death, which filled the fourteen-year-old with endless regret.
Rose realized she urgently needed to learn how to control herself during a fight and avoid slipping into a euphoric state. But in the end, it wasn't necessary—Fleur was alive and perfectly fine before her.
Well, "perfectly fine" couldn't exactly describe Fleur at that moment. Rose could see that her magical energy was completely depleted, and her blood was dangerously low.
If she wasn't treated with a potion, Fleur would die from lack of oxygen, as her blood couldn't carry oxygen to her brain and the various parts of her body.
"Cedric, try to heal Fleur, she's dying!" Rose shouted, still holding her face as the overload of information was too much for her brain to process, literally causing it to overheat.
Cedric, who had been standing guard near the Stone Throne where Luna was seated, didn't hesitate and quickly walked towards the French team captain.
Helping the young woman lie down on the ground, Cedric used his wand and cast a diagnostic spell, only to be completely shocked when he discovered that Fleur had about a third of the blood a normal person should have!
Cedric's face paled; he had no way of curing blood loss—not without a potion at that moment. This meant that the Hogwarts team would be disqualified for murder!
Suddenly, the shadows next to Fleur shifted, and a small girl wearing the Beauxbatons crest emerged from the darkness. It was Sophie, who was supposed to be hiding and waiting for a chance to take Luna from the Throne, but here she was, standing beside Fleur.
She pulled a small pouch from her clothes and took out a tiny vial that appeared empty. But if one looked closely, they would see a single transparent drop inside.
"Is that...!" Cedric was shocked as he recognized the transparent drop in the vial. He couldn't believe how this girl had obtained a Phoenix Tear, the most natural elixir in the world when it came to healing.
Sophie, of course, didn't explain how she had come across a Phoenix Tear. She opened Fleur's mouth and poured the contents in without hesitation.
Fleur's face visibly regained color, but the daughter of the French Prime Minister remained unconscious.
Though unconscious, it was better than being dead, which made Sophie sigh in relief.
But her eyes widened in the next moment as she heard Cedric's voice beside her.
"Confundus."
Coward!
Sophie wanted to scream at Cedric's cowardice, but darkness quickly overtook her mind, causing the young girl to fall unconscious beside her captain.
