Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

Esther was certain she didn't recognize the girl in front of her, and was also surprised by the crystals on the girl's body.

The crystals emitted a dim glow, like candles about to burn out, as if they might be extinguished at any moment.

These crystals look so much like... star crystals?

Ye Qingxian had shown the star crystals to Esther. Ever since she was hit by a meteor that day, Ye Qingxian had 10 more star crystals in her backpack, which meant she had 10 days left to live.

The shape of the star crystal is exactly the same as the crystal on the red-haired girl's body, the only difference being that it does not emit light.

"Answer me first, who are you?"

When introducing themselves, Esther doesn't like to be the first to speak.

"My name is Chu Xing."

To her surprise, the red-haired girl immediately said her real name, "Your turn, what's your name?"

"Estella".

"Oh, so you're Esther."

Chu Xing took a closer look at Esther a few more times.

"You know me?"

"Of course, aren't you the Silver Dragon known as the Princess Killer?"

This was information Chu Xing obtained from the resurrected kings and heroes. Little did she know that the silver-haired girl in front of her was the Silver Dragon who had kidnapped princesses throughout history.

Gazing into the silver dragon girl's eyes, Chu Xing noticed that they were incredibly clear, a stark contrast to her own eyes, which had almost lost their sparkle.

whispering sound.

When Xing learned that Esther had kidnapped the princess just to demand ransom, he found it ridiculous. He thought it was petty and narrow-minded. With such great power, why would she pursue meaningless wealth?

Only by serving her can one realize true value.

She boldly took a few steps toward Estia, making sure the other wouldn't suddenly attack her, and then said, "Estia, you're definitely not here for sightseeing, coming here in the middle of the night."

"That's right, then I'll get straight to the point. Where are you from? What are your plans?"

Estia also took a few steps in front of Chuxing. She had thought they would fight as soon as they met, but it seemed that they could still communicate amicably.

"My plan is..."

call out!

Chu Xing suddenly raised his hand, and several crystal spikes emitting red light appeared out of thin air and attacked Estia. They were extremely fast, and Estia had no time to dodge, so she could only let them hit her.

Good grief, I take back my previous thought, this guy actually launched a surprise attack?

Boom~

The sharp crystal spikes snapped in two. Despite Estella's soft, fair skin, she possessed remarkable defensive capabilities.

"Tch, dragon skin is really tough."

"Surprise attacks are despicable acts."

"None of your business. Besides, even though you defended against my attack, your strength is just so-so."

Chu Xing suddenly smiled. She had already sensed Estya's strength, which was at a level she could easily defeat.

The dragon race, one of the strongest races on the continent of Faya, is surprisingly weak.

"Oh, really?"

Estia had actually been secretly suppressing her level, keeping it down to level 300. This was a way of keeping a trump card for herself, allowing Chuxing to misjudge her strength.

It seems that Chu Xing has indeed taken the bait, thinking that she is only level 300. In fact, the opposite is true. Estia saw through Chu Xing's level—360.

Even at a level of 40, the difference is still enormous, and the higher you go, the greater the gap becomes with each level.

Unless the opponent is also hiding their strength, Esther believes that she can deprive the opponent of the ability to resist in a few rounds of combat.

"Let me give you a test."

Chu Xing smiled sinisterly. If Esther could satisfy her, she would make Esther her first subordinate.

The spirits of those previous kings were not considered subordinates; given their strength, they could only serve as servants.

Having come from a world of calamity, she is ready to conquer the powerful beings of this world and ultimately let the red starlight cover the entire continent of Faya.

Chu Xing's body disappeared, turning into red mist. Estia stood there stunned for a moment, then rushed towards the royal palace where the king was.

Here, she saw the "corpses" of the king, queen, and guards, and soon discovered that they were not truly dead, but their life force was being absorbed, if only she could find a way to cut it off...

Ding!

Someone stood a sword upright and planted it in the ground, and the sound of steel hitting the floor echoed.

"Evil Dragon Estia!"

A man clad in silver armor emerged from the room behind the throne. He was not wearing a helmet, appeared to be in his thirties, and had a resolute gaze and an upright demeanor, clearly a positive character from an epic tale.

After learning of the crimes committed by the silver dragon Estia from his descendants, Rhodes immediately showed great anger. He knew that the destruction of the empire was also related to Estia. If she had not killed the emperor, the various provinces of the empire would not have fallen into civil war.

However, this is a story of revenge. Rhodes knew that the Empire attacked the dragons first, so he had no resentment towards the dragons and instead sympathized with their plight.

But now he knows that after his death, the silver dragon Estia has taken up residence in the Netherworld Dragon Abyss and, as if obsessively, kidnapped the princess of the Kingdom of Fania, emptying the Fania treasury through ransom.

At the request of his descendants, Rhodes resolved that if he had the chance to meet Estia, he would make her give up the idea of ​​kidnapping the princess.

Even if there is hatred, a thousand years should be enough for it to dissipate, right? And can one really get revenge by kidnapping a princess?

Most importantly, even if this method is to be used, we can't just target the Fania royal family and fleece them. There are so many human kingdoms on the entire continent of Fania, why choose the Fania kingdom in particular?

Coincidentally, Estia has now arrived at the Fania Royal Palace, and Chuxing has given them orders to attack Estia together.

The kings' spirits have different levels, with the lowest being only level 200, while Rhodes' level is 300. The power of faith generated by the worship of his people in later generations strengthened him, making him even more powerful than when he was alive.

Clad in silver armor, Rhodes seemed to have returned to his days as a knight commander. He held a shield in one hand and a longsword in the other, assuming a battle stance against Estia. The other royal spirits did not follow him out; this was Rhodes's request. As a knight, he preferred one-on-one duels.

"Sir Knight, who are you?"

Estia wasn't angry at being called a dragon, because she found the face in front of her somewhat familiar, but couldn't quite place it.

So she asked about the other person's background in a polite tone.

"You don't even recognize me anymore... We met on the battlefield back then."

"Ok?"

"In the defense of the Imperial City, I led my knights against your monster army at the western gate! But in the end, the city fell! And you perished!"

"Hiss... How did people from that era survive to this day? Also, I don't remember ever seeing you before."

When Esther personally took action, she broke through the East Gate and at most flew to other city gates to unleash a few dragon breaths. Therefore, this knight may have seen her at the time, but she did not notice him.

It's obvious, but the army defending the imperial city at the time numbered in the hundreds of thousands. How could they possibly have the time or inclination to notice one person among so many tiny insects?

Estia was initially puzzled as to how this knight had survived until now, but after a brief investigation with her magic, she found out everything.

So it was a resurrected spirit? Could it have been done by that girl named Hatsuhoshi?

Because her level was much higher than her opponent's, Esther could clearly see her opponent's level, while in her opponent's eyes, because she was hiding her strength, her level was also displayed as 300.

In Rhodes's view, this was a fair duel between evenly matched opponents.

The verbal sparring was indispensable. Estia said, "Heh, the empire has already been destroyed just like the Dragon Kingdom, and you still want to avenge your emperor?"

"No... I want justice for my descendants! I am Rhodes, the first king of Fania!"

When the empire crumbled, Rhodes had no choice but to establish himself as King of Fania in order to protect his people, using his existing territory.

He had always been extremely loyal to the emperor and knew what this act of independence meant. However, the emperor was killed by Estia, the imperial provinces were plunged into internal strife, and the royal heir died young. In other words, the empire no longer had anyone he could be loyal to.

However, he still felt sorry for the emperor who had shown him kindness, which is why the only war he launched after establishing the Kingdom of Fania was to seize the former imperial city, bring the emperor's relics back to the Kingdom of Fania and bury them.

"The first king? Wow."

Estia was somewhat surprised. No wonder the heroic spirit in front of her looked extraordinary; it turned out he was a former king.

She licked her lips. Actually, she quite liked heroes from all races, and being able to fight alongside them was a kind of honor.

Therefore, her fighting spirit gradually began to soar.

There might be typos, but there's no way to fix them. You'll have to wait until maintenance is over to check.

Chapter 188, Section 177: The Dragon Girl in My Memory (4K Large Chapter)

Is Rhodes trying to prove he's tough because he's not wearing a helmet?

However, Esther thought again that Heroic Spirits don't actually need to wear armor; the so-called armor is just for decoration.

"bring it on."

Estia lightly tapped the ground with the tip of her shoe, making a soft sound, signaling the start of the duel.

bass!

Rhodes' sword was incredibly fast; in a flash of silver light, his blade reached Estia.

Ding!

A silver longsword engraved with dragon patterns appeared in Estia's hand, and she used it to block Rhodes's sword.

"You want to hand over your sword?"

Estia has some knowledge of swordsmanship. Although she mostly fights using brute force, she has also learned some very practical sword techniques.

boom!

Her counterattack was blocked by Rhodes' shield with a dull thud.

The first round of the battle was quite simple. In fact, for most strong individuals, pure strength is what they prefer over fancy combat techniques and magic.

Because this is a duel, and the rule of duels is that combat techniques and magic are prohibited.

Estia deliberately suppressed her level to 300, meaning that her strength was comparable to Rhodes'. The upcoming battle would test her combat skills and physical abilities.

In terms of physical attributes, as a dragon, she is still stronger than the Heroic Spirits. However, in terms of combat skills, Estia, who relies on brute force in most cases, is no match for Rhodes, who has been through many battles and has become stronger step by step.
