Chapter 206  Battle Goddess

Sylvia felt her body frozen mid-air, as she realized that the horrendous howl of the beast contained another attack. It was kind of a sonar attack that distracted her and disrupted her spell.

She quickly reacted and dodged the blast of sound and air combination, but then before she knew it, something leaped out from the forests below her.

"Kikiki!" A large ape with reddish fur swung itself into the air and then dove at Sylvia.

She quickly cast another spell and maneuvered mid-air to dodge the beast. She found herself surprisingly calm even though she hadn't expected such a beast in these parts of the forest.

Everything seemed as if it was happening in slow motion.

Sylvia casually leaned and dodged its attack, but as she did her flying spell slightly faltered and the beast's vicious eyes did not miss this small opportunity.

The ape swung its gigantic furry reddish hands again. As someone who wasn't experienced in any sort of combat, she didn't anticipate this attack.

The beast's large fist and even nails hit Slyvia across the stomach, creating a large gash through her dress and also sending her down at the same time.

Her figure plummeted like a meteor and crashed down into the ground as a crater formed all around her. She felt her entire body ache at the sudden impact with solid ground.

And yet the injuries on her body weren't much.

Sylvia looked at both her hands and her body, turning around and observing herself in shock. Silver scales were visible here and there.

She gulped at the realization of just how strong she was. A small smile formed on her lips and she quickly forced herself to her feet without any hesitation.

She was no longer a frail and weak helpless little girl. She turned to face the ape that landed behind her.

And the next instant, two other apes suddenly appeared from within the trees. All three apes had thick black wisps of energy vaporizing from them.

"Demonic beast apes..." Slyvia muttered to herself. The black energy seeping out of their bodies was a dead giveaway.

The three apes lunged at her at the same time as Slyvia jumped back to dodge their attacks.

She quickly gathered mana around her fingertips and created an electric charge. She threw the bolts of lightning at the apes.

Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom!

Pieces of sand, dust, and rocks flew everywhere as her seemingly normal attacks were rather precise and powerful because of her raw strength.

However, the apes were quite agile and fast and they skillfully leaped back to hide in the groove of trees.

Gritting her teeth, Slyvia looked around her and only saw the trees. The entire forest around her was dark and the apes were smart enough to remain silent while hiding.

But they hadn't run away just yet. Suddenly, a huge rock flew right at her from the depths of the trees.

Sylvia, however, had already recovered and calmly lifted her hand to send out a powerful slice of wind. She didn't notice it, but this time she hadn't even muttered the spell out loud. She simply willed the element to respond to her.

The powerful slice of wind shot out of her hand and tore the huge rock into chunks.

The apes didn't stop there and started throwing out more rocks at her, each one being huge and heavy, but for the humongous apes, these might as well be coconuts and threw them at her continuously.

Sylvia smirked. She felt her heart thumping loudly as she sent out more wind slices, blasting each and every single boulder coming for her.

The apes were smart. They were clearly trying to wear her down while hiding and forcing her to use up her mana. Their plan was probably to attack her face to face once she was weak and drained?

But they had clearly failed to take into account the type of beast she was. How could a beast with a draconian bloodline be drained completely?!

Tough luck.

Slyvia didn't want to spend too much time here as she was still worried about the old patriarch, her grandfather. She decided to end this quickly.

She slumped onto the ground and sat there motionless. She pretended that she was exhausted from blocking all the attacks while actually concentrating her mana inside of her.

It only took a couple of moments before she heard them again. The apes stomped out of the forests, banging their huge fists on their chests.

"Impatient little apes," Slyvia smirked as the two apes leaped out of the trees to attack her.

"Die." She sent a volley of more lightning bolts towards the apes. This time the intensity of the attacks was a lot higher and even the sturdy demonic beasts were charred and burnt to a crisp!

And just like that, she had protected herself. For the first time, she didn't have to rely on anyone else.

Slyvia's chest heaved up and down as she stared at the three huge beasts, all lying down lifeless in front of her.

They had wanted to kill her, but this time, she was the one who was stronger and killed them instead. Her eyes were calm and clear just like the blue sky above.

She looked around at the scene of the fight one more time and then leaped back into the air and once again resumed her flight to the royal palace.

Perhaps the bloody battle and the strong enemy should have made her more nervous but she had faced a lot more vicious beasts before.

They might not have looked ferocious like the beasts but they were definitely a lot crueler than these animals. This was the world they lived in. Kill or be killed.

Sylvia sighed and shot forward towards the royal palace. She crossed the remaining stretch of distance in the blink of an eye and she reached the huge dazzling golden structure.

Her stomach was still injured but she covered the wound with a new robe and quickly hurried to the chambers of the old patriarch.
