Chapter 456 Holy Dragon
At that moment, Skr''s speed and strength were beyond belief.
Therefore, when he fended off Torrence''s attack, it was hardly surprising that the sheer force sent the
latter flying.
Having sustained the same internal injuries as Jonathan, Torrence stepped back to catch his breath,
only to cough out a mouthful of blood.
If Skr were to attack Jonathan now, thetter wouldn''t have anyone to save him, and all he could do
was watch his death unfold.
However, was that really the end of it?
Just then, something shocking happened inside Dragon Pce.
Cracking sounds began ringing out from theyer that had sealed off the frozen Demon Dragon, and
before long, the thousand-year-old ice wall was covered with long, gnarly cracks.
Needless to say, Jonathan was ovee with joy. D*mn! I can''t believe my luck! Demon Dragon, the
King of Dragon, is finally breaking out of its seal!
Torrence, too, was on cloud nine.
After all, who in their right mind would want to die if they had a chance of survival?

Skr, on the other hand, couldn''t stop staring in disbelief. “No. That''s impossible... A maic field
from another dimension had frozen this seal. There''s no way magic elements can break it! How is the
Demon Dragon doing this?”
Despite seeing Skr in a daze, Jonathan held his tongue and remained still.
Ha. Thankfully, I''m not one with a loose tongue. I''m still in Skr''s crosshairs, for goodness'' sake.
What if I said something wrong and antagonized him? He''d kill me without hesitation! Besides, even
though Demon Dragon has broken the seal, who knows if it''ll save me? It''s not like we''re friends or are
obligated to help each other...
s, as much as Jonathan tried to behave himself, Skr suddenly shot him a death stare, looking like
he was ready to kill.
Jonathan couldn''t help but let out a bitter chuckle. “Oh,e on! Must you hate me this much? I wasn''t
the one who freed Demon Dragon, was I?”
“Go to hell!” Skr thundered as he prepared to unleash his attack.
The next second, however, a dazzling ball of light appeared before Jonathan.
Secondster, he realized the light seemed to be that of a primordial spirit that had taken the form of a
noblewoman.
Dressed in a golden silk robe, the woman looked like a majestic queen and carried herself with an aura
thatmanded fear and respect.
“You b*tch. I can''t believe you managed to break the seal,” Skr scoffed.
Jonathan might not have seen the noblewoman''s face, but the fact remained that he and Torrence
were stunned. Oh, my goodness! That noblewoman is Demon Dragon''s primordial spirit! But... Who
knew the mighty King of Dragon, the Holy Dragon revered by all, was a woman? This is utterly
unbelievable!
The noblewoman stared at Skr, seemingly perplexed by what was happening around her. After a
while, she finally spoke up. “Are you the puppet primordial spirit created by Lynn?”
Despite the initial confusion, Torrence and Jonathan quickly realized who the noblewoman was
referring to.
D*mn... Lynn, huh? That must be the name of Theos. Well, at least it''s a pretty nice name...
To everyone''s surprise, the noblewoman suddenly burst outughing. “Oh, Lynn... So much for calling
yourself Theos and putting on that holier-than-thou attitude. Why would you resort to something as vile
as creating a puppet primordial spirit? Aren''t you afraid of being ridiculed if word gets out?”
Skr scrutinized the noblewoman before replying, “You seem to have lost most of your cultivation. I
can''t believe you still have the guts to appear before me when you''re this weak and pathetic. You must
be tired of living!”
“I admit my powers have weakened a little, but it''d still be enough to deal with a mere puppet primordial
spirit like yourself,” the noblewoman said, her lips curled into a half smile.
Not wanting to waste his breath on the woman, Skr stepped forward and threw a punch at her head.
The woman, too, wasted no time retaliating with a powerful strike.
With a wave of her palm, ice crystals suddenly formed in the air and froze Skr''s fist.
Worst of all, the ice began spreading across thetter''s body like a gue, causing him to be sealed in
an icy tomb within seconds.
As Jonathan and Torrence watched in wide-eyed wonder, Skr had turned into an ice sculpture
before their very eyes.
What an impressive ice sculpture! He''spletely immobile!
“D*mn!” Jonathan eximed. “Holy Dragon, please quickly chop this man''s head off and destroy it!
You''d have to do the same to his body, too. Otherwise, he won''t die!”
Jonathan and Torrence were understandably excited, but just then, the noblewoman''s silhouette began
to flicker and fade.
Naturally, the sight scared both men out of their wits.
After a while, the woman''s silhouette finally stabilized, and it was clear by then how difficult it had been
for her to seal Skr off.
The entire process required a vast amount of energy and concentration, which exined why her
primordial spirit had almost dissipated.
Then, the woman slowly turned toward Jonathan and Torrence, her face pale as she gave a wry smile.
“My power is almost gone. Sealing off that puppet primordial spirit had drained thest of my energy.”
Jonathan and Torrence gasped. They had always thought Holy Dragon was on par with Theos, and
neither had expected the former to have weakened to such a state.
“This puppet primordial spirit has a unique physique, so I''m afraid I can''t kill him. Moreover, I can only
seal him off for a day. After that, he will undergo another round of evolution, and when that happens,
even I would be powerless against him,” the noblewoman added.
Having realized that the danger was far from over, the two men exchanged fearful nces.
Jonathan took a deep breath to calm himself down, only to feel a searing pain in his lungs. His internal
injuries were no joke, and Torrence''s condition was just as bad.
As a result, he had no way of killing Skr and could only let thetter remain in the frozen state.
“Since the puppet primordial spirit has been sealed off, can''t you find a way to get rid of him?” Jonathan
piped up. “Couldn''t you find a sword and hack him into pieces?”
s, the noblewoman shook her head. “This sealing technique creates ice that''s hard as steel. It''s
impossible to pierce through it with swords.”
“In that case, why not use your primordial spirit to fly him into the sky and drop him? He''d be smashed
to smithereens.”
“No. I can''t pull that off,” the noblewoman replied with a wave of her hands. “I can''t even fly now, so
how am I supposed to bring him along?”
Undeterred, Jonathan continued, “What about burying him alive?”
“He was never breathing in the first ce,” the woman muttered, not quite believing what she had just
heard.
With that, Jonathan was rendered speechless.
D*mn it! So what if Skr''s frozen solid? The rest of us can''t do anything to get rid of him! My injuries
need time to heal, and he''d probably break out of the ice before then. Aren''t we just prolonging our
death?
“Fret not, Chosen One,” the noblewoman suddenly said. “Fate will find a way!”
Jonathan and Torrence''s eyes immediately lit up, but thetter couldn''t hide his puzzlement. “Wait a
minute. What''s this about the Chosen One?”
“That would be me. I''m the Chosen One, the one favored by the heavens. In other words, I have better
luck than the average man. For example, didn''t we chance upon Holy Dragon breaking out of her
seal?” Jonathan replied before looking at the noblewoman. “Holy Dragon, since you''ve already shown
yourself, that must mean you have a way to save us!”
The noblewoman nodded. “I do, indeed. However, the sess of it would stillrgely depend on you,
Chosen One.”
Upon hearing that, Jonathanughed bitterly. “My internal injuries are pretty serious, so I don''t know if
I''d be of any help. In any case, please advise us, Holy Dragon!”
“Even though I can help you guys, there are some things I should rify first.”
“Please go ahead!”
“Look over there,” the noblewoman said as she pointed at the giant Demon Dragon.
Jonathan and Torrence quickly did as they were told, only to see the dragon''s body trembling slightly. It
was still alive, but its vitals were weak.
Huh? What''s this about? What is she trying to tell us?
“That''s my physical body. I''m the Demon Dragon you speak of, also known as the Holy Dragon!” the
noblewoman exined.
“I knew it. I knew she was Holy Dragon,” Jonathan muttered.
“My real name is rissa Keller. My dragon race was frozen when a Divine Master from a different
dimension executed this sealing technique. He used a unique maic field to freeze us in ce, and
we couldn''t undo it with our magic elements,” the noblewoman said. “I sensed the external forces
earlier and knew the Chosen One had arrived. I remember the Divine Master saying that the only
chance for the dragons to break the curse is when the Chosen One descends upon us. My long wait
has paid off. You''re finally here.”
Jonathan reeled in shock. “Ms. rissa, are you saying the Divine Master had already predicted I''d be
here?”
This is all so unbelievable! Is this what people mean by our fates are already sealed, and there''s no
escaping them?
“It may sound far-fetched, but it''s really not. That Divine Master is a formidable man who can use
Heavenly Law to peep into the future and one''s Thread of Fate. However, what he sees is only a
blurred image of what''s toe,” rissa said before pausing to collect her thoughts. “I was pregnant
a hundred years ago, which greatly affected my cultivation. If it weren''t for that, I wouldn''t have gotten
subdued by Lynn. Now, it''s almost time for the birth of my daughter, and since you''ve arrived, I decided
to use thest of my strength and the blood energy produced duringbor to break this seal. Even
though I''ve broken the curse, I''ve only done so for myself. The other dragons are still frozen.
Unfortunately, I''ve drained my energy, so I doubt I can live much longer. As such, I hope you can
promise me two things, Chosen One.”
“Go on, Ms. rissa,” Jonathan replied without hesitation. “As long as it''s within my power, I''ll do my
best!”
“First, I want you to protect my daughter so she can go on to live a happy life. Second, I want you to try
breaking the curse for the rest of my dragon race,” rissa uttered.
Jonathan instantly felt a pain in his head. “Ms. rissa, as much as I want to help you, I''m afraid I have
neither the strength nor the power to do so!”
