A Villain's Way of Taming Heroines

Chapter 144  No Longer Afraid - I

In midair, Seraphina exhaled the scorching breath from her lungs, feeling the blazing blood and surging power coursing through her body, unable to resist letting out a skyward howl. It was only now that she understood what Ansel meant by true power. It was not merely the blood that soared when fighting hand-to-hand, nor the fleeting glimmers of swords clashing, nor the sparks that erupted between spells. It was… the awe-inspiring might that could alter the heavens and cleave the earth!

The scenes she had seen in her dreams and in Ansel's memories were ultimately illusory wisps of smoke. Only when she truly held this trembling, beast-like power within her could she experience such ecstasy… such…

Happiness!

"You enjoyed crushing me earlier, didn't you? Now..."

Her now taller and more graceful figure, enveloped in astonishing strength, plummeted from the sky at breakneck speed. Almost instinctively, she mobilized every muscle and ether in her body, causing shockwaves to explode behind her. Her form, still dwarfed in comparison to the Blazing Ice Viper minutes ago, now seemed like a meteorite hurtling towards the earth.

"Take this!"

Boom!

Her still delicate and fair fist struck the massive body of the Blazing Ice Viper, and this time, Seraphina's arm did not break due to fragile muscles and bones. Under this punch, an unimaginable force, even for Ansel, unleashed in this tiny space... like a volcanic eruption, it poured out destruction! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

First, a large shockwave of air shattered and spread outwards. Then, the icy crystal body of the Blazing Ice Viper was instantly blasted into a crater-like depression by this terrifying force, and countless cracks spread to both sides of its body amidst the crisp sound of shattering.

And this was just the initial force of the punch. When the true force of Seraphina, combined with gravity and impact, was truly unleashed, the original crater almost instantly exploded and shattered into a larger area!

From a distance, it looked as if an invisible blade had forcibly gouged out a chunk from the body of the Blazing Ice Viper.

The Blazing Ice Viper let out a painful, piercing shriek, and its massive body writhed on the ground. Its body where Seraphina stood began to emit a visible red cold stream.

Just now, the unconscious cold stream emitted by the Blazing Ice Viper had made Seraphina's muscles and bones so stiff that she could not even run, and even throwing a punch became extremely difficult. If she stayed in this cold stream for a bit longer, she would be frozen to death.

But now, this red frost, which looked even more alarming than the previous cold stream, was undoubtedly several times more dangerous.

However... Seraphina felt nothing.

Her intuition, which seemed to have undergone some great transformation, did not give her any warning.

The young girl raised her eyebrows and boldly stepped into the spreading frost dance.

The moment she came into contact with this mist, a layer of fine red ice crystals instantly covered Seraphina's body, and the color of the veins on the back of her hand quickly faded, making her snow-white skin as pale as a corpse.

"Oh, this is really—"

Feeling the icy cold that seeped into her veins, freezing her blood, rooting in her bone marrow, and frosting on her skeleton, Seraphina exclaimed in surprise, "As expected, it's not that simple to casually fight a fourth stage as a third stage... If I'm not careful, I might still be killed by this guy."

"Well... it's actually not very likely."

She lifted her chin, and a hint of arrogance appeared in her dark red eyes, reminiscent of the future overlord's demeanor:

"You big guy, this is how you fight?"

"Come on!"

The wolf beast took a step forward and laughed heartily, "Try to kill me!"

Raising her hands high, Seraphina clenched them into hammer-like fists. The blood within her, nearly frozen by the cold, began to boil like molten lava, surging like a tidal wave, transmitting the accumulated energy to her entire body in an instant. Her perfect body, transformed by the head of power, was still filled with unparalleled beauty of strength even when her muscles were tensed, not exaggeratedly swollen like a beast. Her eyebrows and hair were all covered with red ice crystals, but Seraphina showed no fear. Instead, she smiled wildly, even taking a deep breath, actively drawing this deadly cold stream into her lungs!

As her fragile respiratory tract and organs froze in an instant, the terrifyingly powerful hammer also smashed down with a sharp whistling sound in the air! When her body collided with the crystal, there was no splattering of flesh and blood, no breaking of bones. Instead, the ice crystal shell condensed by the extreme cold, fragile as a child's paper toy, exploded again, causing a rolling shock wave visible hundreds of meters away.

"Wyyy —!"

The sharp, painful, and furious howl of the Blazing Ice Viper echoed in the air. On its back, the red ice stream that had spread out was directly blown away by the impact of Seraphina's hammer strike!

"Huh...cough..."

As Seraphina exhaled gently, she accidentally coughed up a large pool of blood, even some horrifying frozen internal organ fragments. But she wiped the corner of her mouth as if nothing had happened and stretched lazily.

The ice crystals on her body shattered as Seraphina stretched. The girl who had just finished stretching rubbed her head: "I feel like I still have a lot of power haven't used... At least let me and Ansel have some fun, big guy."

She ran wildly on the body of the Blazing Ice Viper — it was almost like flying close to the ground from a third-person perspective, leaving afterimages in the air with terrifying speed, and appeared on the head of the Blazing Ice Viper as if she had teleported.

"Hey, big guy."

Seraphina put one hand on her hip, looking down at the huge eyes of this etheric creature: "Just drilling a hole in you like this, it's not fun even if I win. I'll give you a chance to face me, make sure you seize it."

As if to deliberately humiliate this creature, she ground her foot on its head. Although the head of the Blazing Ice Viper was huge, it seemed to feel the provocation of that tiny insect, and it roared in extreme rage.
