"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!!!"

The demon dragon’s furious roars shook the heavens and earth, echoing through the skies.

Accompanying these roars came a series of devastating dragon breath fire filled with terrifying destructive power. Under this relentless assault, the nearby mountains were unprecedentedly damaged, and the landscape was drastically altered.

As the target of the Demon Dragon’s attack, Mengxi skillfully maneuvered to avoid the massive explosions, but the widespread shockwaves and destruction still managed to reach her.

Her armor was shattered into pieces,

The right side of her body was covered in blood, with severe burns that were shockingly extensive, even marring her beautiful face with scorch marks. More importantly, Mengxi’s physical strength was rapidly weakening, and the divine power enveloping her began to dissipate.

Facing the Demon Dragon’s pursuit, the girl naturally fought back.

Endless light arrows, various spells, and all the weapons stored in Mengxi’s spatial ring were released without reserve. Yet, these attacks, pouring down like a storm on the dragon, still couldn’t cause any substantial damage, only managing to delay the inevitable.

However,

Compared to the dragon, the young girl clearly had very little time left,

Undoubtedly, as time passed, the situation of the silver-haired girl became increasingly dire. Ultimately, once the state of divine power enhancement reached its limit, the girl would be mercilessly devoured by the dragon.

She was well aware of this.

Yet,

There wasn’t a trace of fear or worry in her eyes, still high-spirited and staring down the Demon Dragon charging at her from below, with no thought of ’giving up’ visible in her gaze.

However, the situation appeared grim.

After being lured into a magical formation by Mengxi and bombarded relentlessly, the ferocity within the dragon was unleashed without restraint. The dragon’s wails, mixed with overwhelming pale-colored energy fluctuations, engulfed everything around, tearing it to shreds.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"

After casually destroying the magic formation that Mengxi and Little Sakura had jointly set up, the Demon Dragon suddenly spread its massive wings and leaping up from the ground in an instant, charging like a cannonball towards the silver-haired girl in mid-air.

And once again, it opened its abyss-like mouth full of fierce sharp teeth.

Facing this approaching abyssal maw and the overwhelming dragon’s might flooding the sky, the strong golden divine power surrounding the silver-haired girl seemed somewhat insufficient, even dissipating under the impact of the residual force of the Dragon.

The different in power between the two sides was overwhelming.

Moreover, the power of the Demon Dragon was still rising, while Mengxi’s power was just to big.

However,

Even in this situation where one side gained strength while the other weakened, Mengxi maintained her composure.

As the Demon Dragon charged towards her, the silver-haired girl unfolded her silver energy wings.

Instead of continuing to evade the dragon’s pursuit among the mountains, she did the unexpected by spreading her energy wings and soaring high into the sky in an instant!

Naturally, the Demon Dragon roared and pursued her.

At this moment, the silver-haired girl unleashed the full power of her divine energy, pushing her speed to the limit. She became like a shooting silver-white star, instantly piercing through the sky.

However,

Even with her speed pushed to the limit, Mengxi couldn’t pull away from the Demon Dragon.

What’s more,

Because she didn’t take a roundabout path through the mountains and instead charged straight ahead, the Demon Dragon erupted with a terrifying burst of acceleration.

In an instant, it caught up to the silver-haired girl.

With a fixed gaze on the girl who was now so close, the Demon Dragon’s eyes gleamed with ferocity.

Its sole objective had always been to crush this girl emitting the divine power into dust and ashes.

The dragon’s blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, and once again opened its abyss-like mouth filled with the stench of death and decay.

Countless pale-colored energy particles began to continuously converge in the mouth of the dragon.

As this terrifying power accumulated, the space around the dragon began to twist and distort.

Without a doubt,

Once this dragon fire breath was released, there would be no escape for Mengxi.

Given Mengxi’s current condition, if she were hit by the dragon attack, her fate would likely be reduced to ashes.

If the Church’s believers were present, they would certainly be sweating for the fate of the Girl of Destiny.

However,

Feeling the intense threat of death looming behind her, Mengxi took a deep breath, her pretty face showing a look of determination.

Just as the dragon breath attack was about to be unleashed,

A small pink creature on Mengxi’s shoulder suddenly transmitted a message into her ears.

" Now is the time, Miss Mengxi!"

With these words entering her ears, the expression of the silver-haired girl changed abruptly, and her pale purple eyes narrowed sharply! The holy energy and divine power aura around her underwent a drastic change. One second she was charging towards the sky, and the next second, like a meteor falling from beyond the heavens, she charged with a magnificent momentum directly towards the Demon Dragon below!

All the divine power and holy energy in her body were gathering at the edge of her sword.

She charged straight at the chest of the Demon Dragon.

The girl’s purple eyes were firmly locked on the chest of the Dragon, where a fierce blue flame was burning...

"Miss Mengxi, we... we only have a five percent chance of winning. If we engage in a direct battle, we can’t possibly win."

"No, we don’t necessarily have to defeat that monster."

"Miss... Miss Mengxi? What do you mean by that?"

"That creature is a transformation of Little Meliora. If the ’Heart of the Holy Dragon’ really wanted me dead, it wouldn’t have saved me when Sword Demon attacked me. Moreover, at that time, something erupted from within Mille, a pale blue energy that clearly didn’t belong to her. I can be sure that she is being controlled by something."

"Controlled?"

"Yes. Right now, I’m definitely not capable of defeating this demon dragon. I need to restore Little Milly’s consciousness, and perhaps there’s still a chance. The source of the Shadow Power within the dragon’s aura comes from her chest, where there’s some kind of strange plant-like entity enveloping her heart. That should be the source of its power. If we can destroy that, we might be able to awaken Little Milly’s consciousness. But we can’t do it with ranged attacks alone; we need to get closer"

"The chest?! The heart?! Close-range attack there?! Miss Mengxi, are you out of your mind?! That’s where the creature’s power is strongest! The energy within that pale blue flame is destructive! Approaching it recklessly will lead to certain death!"

"Yes, I know... But... we don’t have a choice..."

...

...

Staring at the dragon’s chest, feeling the terrifying heat wave, Mengxi couldn’t help but show a bitter expression. She was well aware that her words now, whether it was to defeat the Demon Dragon or escape this endless mist, seemed like a futile dream.

The only thing she could do was to launch an attack on the dragon’s heart.

Even if the heart of an eighth-level entity wouldn’t cause death upon destruction if her suspicions were correct and Little Milly had gone berserk because something was playing with her heart, then destroying the dragon’s heart might be the key to bringing back Little Milly’s consciousness.

To break this deadlock, Mengxi had to take a desperate gamble.
