Cloud Thinking

A dragon roar that almost broke through the sky sounded, and Helia felt her eardrums being broken, and a warm current flowed out of her ears, and then she could hear nothing.

The dragon went berserk because of the pain, flapping its wings like a dehydrated fish and spitting fire furiously. It had lost part of its vision and attacked indiscriminately.

Helia pulled out the kitchen knife that was deeply embedded in the dragon's pupil with all her strength. She fell backwards suddenly due to exhaustion. The dragon's head shook and she flew out directly. Fortunately, she was quick and stabbed the kitchen knife in her hand to the side. The blade scratched the dragon's scales and splashed sparks. Helia injected magic power into it again, triggering the magic spell engraved on the kitchen knife, and then the kitchen knife scratched a place that was slightly softer than the scales.

She snapped her wrist downward and stabbed the knife into the dragon's other eye, leaving a long cut due to inertia. Warm golden blood splashed all over her. Her mouth, nose and eyes were all covered with large amounts of dragon blood. At this moment, she lost all her five senses.

Although the kitchen knife was stuck tightly in Long's eyes so she couldn't throw it away, the inertia was too great. In order to prevent the knife from slipping out of her hand, her wrist was twisted to a terrible angle. She was in so much pain that she could hardly feel her hand.

Helia closed her eyes tightly, tears continuously flowing from her eyes due to the pain. She was like a flag planted on a city wall, fluttering helplessly in the wind.

The dragon was blind in both eyes, so it screamed and roared wildly, and the group of monsters behind it also went into a frenzy, rushing towards where Helia was. The dragon lost its vision and was about to fall to the ground, swaying.

I can't hold on any longer... Helia felt the hilt of the knife slipping from her hand little by little. She reluctantly opened one eyelid, and what came into her sight was a pale sky. Through the clouds, she seemed to see someone, but it was hazy and blurry, making it hard to see clearly.

Below her was a monster with its bloody mouth wide open, ready to tear her to pieces. At the moment of falling, she heard a sigh, coming from the distant sky, yet it seemed to be right next to her ear.

"Aya!!!" Eric, standing on the ground, watched Helia's small figure falling into the dark group of monsters like a bird with broken wings. He was held down to the ground by his shoulders and could do nothing. His heart seemed to be torn into several pieces at this moment, and it hurt so much that he could hardly breathe.

How painful it was for her! How painful it was for her! She was only seventeen years old! She was still so young! Why did she have to be at the forefront! She was a princess of the empire! She was the apple of the eye of the Abrahamic royal family! Why did she have to sacrifice herself here!

That was her sister! She was just a child, why did she have to fight against such a huge, terrifying dragon!

Tears covered his face, and he tried to look up at his sister, choking with sobs and almost unable to make a sound. Others lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look at the sky.

They were cowards who could only watch Princess Helia sacrifice herself for them, and even despicably prevented her blood relatives from finding her.

"I'm going to fuck this damned world to death..." Before Helia's consciousness was about to be obliterated, she raised her middle finger to the sky with all her strength while spurting blood, and cursed with all her strength.

"Hey--"

She sighed again, and then, she did not fall into the claws of the monster. On the contrary, she was greeted by a warm and strong embrace, which tightly embraced her from behind, and became more and more powerful, as if to merge her into his flesh and blood.

"You are my precious child, I will always love you, I will never abandon you, and we will be together forever." The ambiguous words rang in her ears, but she couldn't actually hear them, but the voice still went straight into her head.

The warm breath sprayed on her neck, and a force suddenly surged into her exhausted and almost stiff body, nourishing every inch of her body and driving away the coldness.

At this moment, she is like a tender sprout breaking through the frozen soil in winter. Although extremely fragile, she contains infinite vitality.

She didn't know what was happening, she just felt her body turning hot and cold, and from stiff to soft. When she opened her eyes, she found that the world seemed to have stopped. She remained in the falling position, and the fire dragon was twisting its thick neck ferociously, with its head tilted back and its mouth open as if it was about to spit fire.

Less than half a meter below her was a sea of ​​monsters. She could even see the blood and flesh residues that had not been swallowed cleanly in the bloody mouths of each monster. But at this moment, they were all motionless. Apart from her breathing and heartbeat, there was no sound between heaven and earth.

Helia moved her broken right hand, and almost subconsciously, she instinctively used her left hand to bend it back together. There was a crisp sound of bones, and she tried to move it left and right. After a crackling sound, her hand regained consciousness.

She rubbed her throat, tilted her head to spit out the blood stuck in her throat, then cleared her throat and said in a hollow voice, "God of Time and Space, is that you?"

No one responded to her, but Helia knew that the God of Time and Space, Horoheroku, must have been the cause of her being able to "float" here so well.

Order did not end, but time and space did. This was not what Helia wanted to see. She was also afraid of triggering a war among the gods, and by then it would not be a battlefield she could intervene in.

She wiped her face again to remove the blood, then closed her eyes, waiting for the moment when time would flow again.

She thought a lot in a short period of time. She might have died. The seal was broken and Watersise took over her body as he wished. But He did as He said. He pulled her soul back into this body, merged it with His soul, and gave up the control of the body.

Everything went as Watersise wished, and she got a second life.

With a click, the still time was shattered like glass and began to flow again. At that moment, Helia felt something suddenly grow on her back. A pair of huge white feather wings emerged from her shoulder blades, unfolded little by little, and tightly wrapped its owner.

Then she fell down lightly like a feather, passing through the group of monsters without any obstacles. Then, at the moment of falling to the ground, her wings spread out, stirring up a cloud of dust, and then she flew up suddenly.

The feathers, which should have been soft, were now as sharp as blades, leaving deep scars visible to the bone on the body of any monster that was touched by them.

The fallen bird spreads its wings and flies high again.

Eric witnessed everything. He saw Helia falling from the sky, and at the moment when she was about to be eaten by the group of monsters, a dazzling golden light burst out from her body, and then a pair of pure white wings grew out from behind her, wrapped her up, and slowly fell down.

Then, the moment it touched the ground, it suddenly spread its wings and flew high into the sky.

In a trance, he felt as if he was dreaming. Everything before his eyes was so unreal and illusory like a dream.

Helia felt that she was terribly strong now. She could feel that Watersise was one with her, but the other party did not say a word. However, her body was filled with endless power, and her heart was beating rapidly to prove that she was still alive and well.

The wings are very useful. She doesn't even need to learn how to use them. It's as if she was born to fly. As long as she wants, she can fly anywhere easily. She can even use her wings as an offensive weapon.

Her enchanted kitchen knife remained on the dragon's eye, and she had no weapon. Perhaps she heard what she was thinking, and her hands slowly evolved into sharp claws, with a layer of hard scales covering the back of her hands, just like the dragon's body.

The only difference is that the fire dragon is red, and the scales on the back of her hand are black.

The strange gilt color slowly spread in her pupils. She stared at the fire dragon that was still flapping and screaming in the air. Her pupils narrowed little by little. At a certain moment, she seemed to become no different from the fire dragon.

Even though the fire dragon was blind, it was still very ferocious. Helia was only so big, and it was impossible for her to transform from a human into a monster in an instant, let alone become a monster as big as a fire dragon.

She still had to use her wits to outwit him, she still needed to find where the fire dragon's reverse scale was.

She flew to the front of the violent fire dragon, grabbed one of the dragon's horns with one hand, and pulled hard. The dragon was pulled aside and fell directly to the ground, sliding for dozens of meters before finally stopping.

Who could have thought that Helia's tiny body contained the power to topple a dragon?

The dragon was angered by her again. Although it had no eyes, it still had a sense of smell. It struggled to take off again and pounced on Helia by smelling her scent.

The huge size of the body forced Helia to choose to escape temporarily.

Of course, she caught a glimpse of the group of people near the tower on the ground. Even from a distance, she could feel Eric's gaze. Perhaps this was the connection between blood relatives. At this moment, she could actually guess what the other person was thinking, and her heart seemed to ache like Eric's.

She had to take the fire dragon away from this place and must not let Eric get affected.

She knew clearly that Eric was the next rightful successor to the empire. It would be fine if she sacrificed herself, but Eric's sacrifice was not acceptable. The empire could not be without a successor.

Although Claude still looked young and seemed to be able to sit on the throne for decades, who could guarantee that the new crown prince would be as good as Eric? It took Claude more than ten years to find a way to save the decadent empire in Komisar's hands. If his successor was not as good as him or Eric, the empire would likely fall into crisis again.

So no.

And Helia had no intention of becoming a crown princess. She knew very well that she had no idea about governing a country. She could certainly be a crown princess for fun, but she had to be worthy of the people of this country. She thought she couldn't do that, so she wouldn't fight for the position.

The fire dragon left, and the group of monsters followed it, but at this time Eric was fully awake and commanded: "Find a way to intercept these monsters here and use this tower to annihilate them."

It can be said that they are indeed brother and sister. Even though they didn't speak at all and didn't even look at each other, they knew what was in each other's mind.

Helia was responsible for taking the fire dragon away and dealing with it, while the rest of the monsters would depend on Eric and his men. With the tower here to help, even if they couldn't intercept all of them, they could still kill most of them and reduce the pressure on the front line.

"Great God of War, please allow me to ask you, do you know where the dragon's reverse scale is?" Helia asked in her heart while nimbly avoiding the fire dragon's pursuit with the help of her wings.

She knew Wattsiser could hear her.

Watersiser was silent for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking. Perhaps he was dissatisfied with Helia's current address, but he could do nothing about it.

“Generally speaking, it’s below the neck, but the exact location is different for every dragon, you have to look for it.” He replied slowly.

Helia did as He said, turned around and flew towards the fire dragon, dodged a claw with a beautiful somersault, then dived to the bottom of the fire dragon and flew down along its neck.

"A dragon's reverse scale is very hidden. It looks the same as other scales and cannot be identified with the naked eye." Watersiser reminded, "Try to use magic. The reverse scale is the dragon's most vulnerable part and the core of its power."

Helia released a large amount of magic power to observe its surroundings. In the magic's vision, the fire dragon turned into a ball of colorful energy, most of which was red and distributed evenly throughout the torso.

She squinted her eyes and observed carefully, and saw that the dispersed power seemed to be flowing in a certain direction.
