Ciel did not expect that the dragon would attack immediately after assuming he was lying.
He wasn’t afraid, of course.
Knowing that there was no time to dodge, he waited for the dragon to come, ready to use his body to withstand the blows of its huge body.
BANG!
The dragon’s forehead slammed into his body, leaving him shocked as the blow was so hard that his vision became blurred while his blood became chaotic.
Although his cultivation was much stronger than average, but a dragon was indeed a difficult enemy to fight.
Fortunately he was not knocked out, proving that he was indeed strong.
“Fuck you!” He cursed, releasing his flames in the form of a huge wave, engulfing the dragon’s body directly.
It was clearly shocked, its eyes wide open, and it hastily retreated to get out of the flames.
Even then it kept an even greater distance from the flames. Its eyes scanned Ciel and its flame of three colors, looking solemn and vigilant.
“Are you afraid now?” asked Ciel to provoke it.
“Now I know why you’re so brave, but hmph, I’ll make your courage disappear from today onwards,” the dragon replied.
Right after that, red flames that seemed to be able to dry up the ocean surged out from its body, filling the sky until the air became extremely dry.
The dragon fire was clearly not only hot, but also had its own special abilities.
When the air became extremely dry, breathing became difficult, and the air that entered the lungs made breathing impaired.
However, it didn’t affect Ciel because he was already too strong.
While the dragon released its flames, he took out the red sword Rin had given him.
Buzz!
It resonated with his three Flames, giving them additional light.
He had to admit that the sword was powerful and unique. He instantly felt like an invincible knight.
“Hmph, the result will be the same, your defeat!” The dragon shouted as he looked at the sword, not afraid at all.
He then lunged at Ciel once more, faster than before.
“What a terrifying battle,” said the spectators watching from afar, mesmerized by the scene.
In an instant, Ciel met the dragon again.
Their flames pushed against each other, trying to burn each other as well.
ROAR! ROAR!
Occasionally a loud roar echoed from within the dragon’s flames. It probably wanted to intimidate the Ciel flames, but it clearly failed because the Ciel flames didn’t seem to care about anyone.
On the other hand, Ciel slashed the red sword at the dragon’s head.
It released more red light which then turned into a giant spiritual sword.
Quickly, it descended onto the dragon’s head.
As the spiritual sword moved down, the land below suddenly split into two, as if something had hit it.
It was only because of the effect of the sword strike.
The dragon naturally felt the effect as well, but its body was indeed much stronger than the land, so it wasn’t affected at all even though it was closer.
Actually, since some time ago, there were other people watching the fight with different intentions.
One of them was a strange creature that had a black skull that was clearly visible because its body was made of transparent light.
He was a ghost, wearing a black robe full of rips, but had a hood covering his head.
Its eyes were bright red, looking terrifying if stared at constantly.
He carried a short spear that was bright silver with a very sharp tip.
And he was not alone.
Beside him stood a young man wearing a pure white robe. 𝑶𝑽𝗅𝐞xt.𝗇𝓔t
His appearance was striking with his ruddy white skin.
He had long golden hair that gave the impression of being more precious than gold.
Compared to that ghost whose aura was indistinct, that young man’s aura could be said to be very domineering.
Most importantly, on his forehead was written the word Heaven in gold.
The word seemed to be alive, occasionally emitting light.
The ghost was named Arun, one of the famous geniuses in the Realm of Ghost.
As for the young man, he was Zaden, a member of the Heaven Race.
Of course, Zaden was not the member with the highest status among the young members, there were still those higher than him.
However, even he gave the impression of being no weaker than Gabriel.
Arun and Zaden watched Ciel’s battle with the Fire Dragon.
As they were just starting to fight, Zaden said to Arun, “wait for him to let his guard down, and attack him.”
“Actually I’m still confused as to why you want him dead? Wouldn’t that cause the Ice Goddess’ anger?” asked Arun in response.
Their goal here was to kill Ciel.
Zaden paid Arun, giving him a gift that he could not refuse.
Even so, he still wanted to talk about this thoroughly.
Of course, there was a reason why Zaden chose Arun to help him.
It was because Arun’s attacks were very unique, he could attack a person’s soul directly. Basically, he developed his ghost power very well.
Normally, his attacks could pass through any formation and go completely undetected so no one would know that it was because of his attacks.
“No need to ask, just do your job,” Zaden replied indifferently.
However, Arun still asked, “do those two know about this?”
The two people he was referring to were the son and daughter of the Heaven Race Patriarch, Lydan and Yelina. The two people who were predicted to become the new Supreme Gods of the Heaven Race due to their talent beyond imagination.
Zaden’s eyes turned cold when asked about that, and he suddenly said, “now!”
Arun looked at Ciel who was attacking the fire dragon with his sword while his back was very open to attack.
Arun showed a faint smile before moving, disappearing from the air.
Little did he know that Ciel’s eyes, which had been vigilant ever since he fought, sensed his arrival.
He frowned, glancing back only to find the ghost.
‘A ghost ambushed me? What’s the reason?’ Ciel couldn’t help but wonder.
In fact, he now sensed such danger from Arun’s arrival that he was at a loss whether to stop attacking the Fire Dragon.
The latter currently didn’t seem to be afraid at all to meet with his sword.
‘Yeah, maybe I should just disappear,’ Ciel thought.
To disappear, he only needed to enter that small Immortal Domain of his.
Shua!
He disappeared along with all his power, shocking the fire dragon.
At the same time, Arun arrived at the place where Ciel had disappeared.
His figure appeared because he was surprised and his appearance startled the dragon.
“Who are you?” The fury within the dragon’s eyes went straight to Arun.
He even sent his fist towards him.
Arun didn’t have time to dodge, he didn’t even have time to react because he wanted to track down Ciel’s whereabouts.
The dragon’s fist finally slammed into his body, making his bones crack because he was very weak physically.
He was thrown quickly until he hit a sand proof, lying there helplessly.
Surprisingly Ciel appeared right beside him.
“Who are you?” asked Ciel, placing the tip of his sword against his neck.
“What’s going on?” The audience was quickly confused.
“Someone came to ambush the Ice Prince, a ghost,” replied the one who understood the situation.
“But who is that ghost?” The question was addressed to the other ghosts.
“Arun,” they replied as they recognized him instantly.
One of them then explained. “He’s one of the most feared geniuses in the Realm of Ghost. Many disciples of the Gods have died at his hands. In fact, he doesn’t even have a background.”
“I think I’ve heard of him, he once fought with Gabriel when the latter came to the Realm of Ghost, but he lost to Gabriel,” said someone from the Realm of Life.
“He just doesn’t excel in head-to-head combat,” a ghost replied.
“Yes, how dare he try to kill the Ice Prince, did his brain lose cells? If the Ice Goddess and the Elf Queen are angry, even the Realm of Ghost can’t stop them.”
“Usually he kills people on the orders of those who pay him, so this might not be his own intention.”
“Oh, who paid him? Is it the Sect of Light? I don’t think there’s time for them to do it. It might be the other party.”
“…”
Meanwhile, before Arun could answer Ciel’s question, Zaden seemed to want to leave.
However, Ciel was not silent either. With his Eyes of Heaven, he scanned the surroundings for others who were hiding and he found the man.
His suspicious movements made him think that he might be involved.
‘He’s from the Heaven Race, this is interesting,’ he thought, instantly knowing Zaden’s identity because of the obvious mark on his forehead.
He looked at Arun again who was enduring the pain. Perhaps talking to him would only delay, so he chose to send his foot to his face.
BANG!
His foot pushed his face into the ground.
“You?” He was still able to speak, staring at Ciel in shock as he too felt humiliated by the attack.
“Don’t think you can get away,” Ciel told him, stomping on his face again before leaving.
Right after that, Mu Yixue appeared in front of him, pointing her hand at him.
Ice appeared around him, locking down his movements.
