277: That's it? It beat you up like this?

"Roar!!!" The pale, blue-glowing, mostly skeletal giant dragon broke through the frozen storm, roaring as it charged towards Bella.

A terrifying aura erupted, and the power of Deathly Freezing Breath exploded, instantly covering Bella in a layer of frost.

The cold penetrated deep into her body; Bella even felt as if her soul was about to freeze.

"Roar!" The Death Dragon roared at Bella, spewing out a frosty "breath" towards her.

Deathly Freezing Breath!

Bella was startled and quickly flew to the side.

Whoosh!

The Breath flew past her side.

Even from a distance, Bella immediately felt that half of her body was stiff.

Clarissa did not directly participate in the battle but watched silently from the side.

The main culprit hasn't appeared yet... Clarissa could sense that various places seemed to have fallen into chaos.

In the other two cities, people from the Destruction Church were shouting, "For the great Arnostim!"

And Clarissa could detect that a terrifying existence seemed to be slowly awakening...

Presumably, the existence slowly awakening... should be the Dragon that Destroys the World... Arnostim!

However, of the Four Dragon Gods, Arnostim was about to awaken, but what about the other three Dragon Gods? Clarissa had this question.

If what Bella said was true, Arnostim left due to conflicting ideologies, though she didn't say whether a war broke out or if Arnostim went somewhere else.

However, if Arnostim was still alive, then the other three Dragon Gods should also be alive... If Arnostim reappeared, the other three Dragon Gods should also reappear, right?

Or... is it precisely because the other three Dragon Gods cannot appear... that we are here? Clarissa pondered for a moment.

Feeling that Bella was being beaten badly and was about to collapse.

Clarissa flashed forward, reaching out and grabbing, and Star Heart was drawn from the void.

She unleashed a slash.

Star Sword Intent - Exploding Dragon Flame Slash!

Boom!!! Black flames exploded on the Death Dragon's body.

The terrifying force caused its body to tilt, sending it crashing towards The Ground.

"Cl-Clarissa..." Bella looked somewhat miserable at this moment, many of her dragon scales shattered, and her body was covered in frost. She looked at Clarissa, who had suddenly appeared to save her, her speech a little slurred from being frozen.

"Hmm, you rest for a bit, catch your breath. I'll take over here for now." Clarissa said to Bella, "That Arnostim... might be reappearing soon."

"Wh-What?!" Bella's pupils constricted sharply upon hearing Clarissa's words.

If Arnostim reappeared in Vinodea World... she knew some of the hidden secrets; if that entity came out, the world would definitely be destroyed!

"Roar!" The Death Dragon roared at Clarissa; that last attack had hurt it greatly.

Its falling body rolled, then it flapped its wings and flew up again.

"Roar!" The Death Dragon opened its mouth at Clarissa and spewed out a stream of white gas.

Deathly Freezing Breath!

The extremely cold Breath, carrying a dense aura of death, swept towards Clarissa.

Clarissa's figure suddenly shot out, dodging the Breath, and slashed at the Death Dragon again with her Sword.

Star Sword Intent - Heavenly Struggle Cross Slash!

Clang!

A cross-shaped Sword light bloomed on the Death Dragon's body.

Crack!

The Sword light left marks on the Death Dragon's bones.

"These bones are really hard!" Clarissa looked at the damage her attack had caused, only a few centimeters deep. But for this massive dragon body, it was nothing, like a person accidentally scratching their hand with a knife.

It would hurt and leave a wound, bleeding.

But to say it was serious, it really wasn't.

"Roar!" The Death Dragon didn't know what pain was, but it knew that Clarissa's attack was a threat to it!

Clang! The Death Dragon suddenly flapped its wings, its dragon body soaring into the sky, its nearly hundred-meter-long body rushing straight into the clouds.

"Roar!" The Death Dragon suddenly swooped down, opening its mouth and first spewing another Deathly Freezing Breath at Clarissa.

"It seems that although you are a Dragon, unfortunately, you are a dead Dragon. Do you have no magic? Only Breath and that hard set of bones..." Clarissa looked at the Death Dragon's actions, pouting slightly, then couldn't help but glance at Bella.

How did such a weak Dragon beat you into that state?

Bella's dragon face flushed. She couldn't help it! The opponent's skeletal frame was simply too hard, its power extremely fierce, and neither her physical nor magical attacks could penetrate its defenses. Plus, it had a Deathly Freezing Breath.

She couldn't win at range, nor in close combat, so what else could she do?!

Facing the diving Death Dragon, even though it was just a skeletal frame, its weight was much heavier than a Dragon of the same size with flesh and blood.

From thousands of meters high, with such weight, Clarissa did not want to experience what it felt like to be hit by the force of its dive.

Clarissa looked at the approaching Death Dragon, her gaze sharpening.

One Sword unleashes, heaven and earth change!

Clang! A brilliant Sword light suddenly appeared, soaring into the sky, striking the Death Dragon with a crash.

Crack!

The Death Dragon was forcibly stopped by this Sword.

The skull cracked with a crisp sound, several cracks spreading out, and extremely small, fingernail-sized pieces of bone flew off.

This Sword left a deep, indented Sword mark on the Death Dragon's head that extended more than halfway down its spine.

This was only the superficial damage.

The successive attacks were all imbued with Star Sword Intent.

Aside from the physical amplification, Star Sword Intent's greatest attack was on the soul, on the spiritual level.

If this were a "proper" Death Dragon, then its soul fire would likely be extremely condensed and terrifying, and Clarissa's Star Sword Intent would not cause much damage to it.

But unfortunately, this Death Dragon was not "proper."

At this moment, it finally felt pain.

Its already jumbled soul was repeatedly cut by Star Sword Intent, its soul injured, meaning its foundation was damaged.

That kind of pain was a pain from the soul.

The Death Dragon writhed and tumbled in agony in mid-air, randomly spewing Deathly Freezing Breath from its mouth.

A thousand-mile radius was its strike range, houses, The Ground, and people fighting nearby were all affected.

One Breath directly stripped away life, turning everything into ice sculptures.

Invaded simultaneously by the powers of death and extreme cold.

Bella rolled to dodge a flying Breath. She looked at the suffering Death Dragon, marveling at Clarissa's powerful methods.

"Clarissa is actually this strong!" Bella hadn't expected her good friend from another world to possess such strength.

In comparison, although Clarissa's other friends were also strong, the difference was truly too vast when compared.

Are these people all her dependents or followers? Bella couldn't help but think, as according to her mindset, it was very likely to be the case. Otherwise, why would their strengths be so weak?

One must know that the friends of the strong are generally strong; even if not, they must have some outstanding qualities.

Yi Xin and the others didn't know that Bella considered them Clarissa's dependents...

Emmm~ In a way, if we follow Clarissa's "concept," Clarissa belongs to God. They belong to God, so they are all God's dependents. Therefore, as Clarissa is "God's Apostle," by rounding up, everyone in the Cross-World Group is Clarissa's dependent.

Clarissa watched the Death Dragon vent for a while, then suddenly sensed similar auras to the Death Dragon in front of her rising from other places.

"Things seem to be getting bad..." Clarissa frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Bella asked, puzzled, upon hearing Clarissa's words.
