Chapter 365: I’m Here
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In order to cover Bernice for her to escape, her three companions left the wars.h.i.+p and charged towards the team of the Ice Demons.
They carried all their weapons with them, hoping to detonate them to give Bernice a chance to escape.
Bernice had been through this situation countless times.
She originally had close to a thousand companions, but they had all sacrificed their lives to bring the Mechanical Hearts back to their people.
There was a loud boom outside the wars.h.i.+p.
Bernice looked out the window at the huge flames and, with tears in her eyes, pushed the wars.h.i.+p’s power to its maximum.
She thought that she would be able to escape successfully.
However, she had underestimated the Ice Demon race.
The Ice Demon’s battles.h.i.+p didn’t suffer any damage, and they easily caught up to Bernice.
The Ice Demons were an extremely powerful race. They were a branch of the Dark Elves.
They lived in extremely cold places and had the ability to control and create ice.
The combat ability of a qualified Ice Demon warrior was equivalent to a cultivator in Tribulation Transcendence.
An enormous electromagnetic net shot out from the Ice Demon’s battles.h.i.+p, firmly trapping Bernice’s wars.h.i.+p.
An Ice Demon warrior flew out from the battles.h.i.+p.
He stretched out his arm, and extremely cold air shot out from his palm.
A layer of frost instantly covered the surface of Bernice’s battles.h.i.+p.
The temperature inside plummeted and soon dropped below freezing point.
Bernice felt that she might not be able to escape this time.
However, in order to bring the Mechanical Hearts back to her people, she did not give up and kept thinking of solutions.
As the temperature in the cabin dropped lower and lower, everything that was in sight was frozen.
Though Bernice had the protection of her battle armor, the cold was getting worse, and the temperature was dropping. She was s.h.i.+vering and felt numb all over.
Soon, the surface of Bernice’s armor was covered in frost.
At this moment, Bernice was slipping into unconsciousness.
If this continued, Bernice would freeze into an ice sculpture in less than a minute.
Bernice was in despair.
Right at this moment, an incredible scene unfolded.
A fiery red light lit up around Bernice’s body, and a flaming defensive barrier protected her.
At the same time, a fire dragon appeared outside the defensive barrier.
Bernice was shocked.
“What… What is going on?”
In her amazement, she heard a familiar voice.
“Bernice, it is Dan Yangzi. To prevent any accidents from happening to you, I have secretly placed restrictions on you. With the protection of the fire dragon, I can safely escort you home.”
This was Dan Yangzi’s voice.
Tears immediately welled up in Bernice’s eyes. Dan Yangzi’s glorious and imposing image appeared in her mind. She was very touched.
The appearance of the fire dragon dispersed the cold, and the entire battles.h.i.+p was freed from the ice.
The Ice Demon warrior looked at the battles.h.i.+p in front of him in surprise.
“This shouldn’t be the case!”
A fire dragon suddenly flew out of Bernice’s battles.h.i.+p.
Boom!
The fire dragon spat a mouthful of flames at the Ice Demon warrior.
The Ice Demon Warrior didn’t have the slightest reaction as he took this attack head-on.
The temperature of the flames that the fire dragon spewed out was very high, not lower than that of a star.
Fortunately, this Ice Demon warrior wasn’t weak; otherwise, he would have been killed.
Even though he didn’t die, he was still severely injured.
When Bernice saw this, she immediately ordered the fire dragon to destroy the electromagnetic net.
The electromagnetic net instantly fell off under the flames.
Bernice started the battles.h.i.+p immediately.
While escaping, the fire dragon spat a mouthful of flames at the Ice Demons’ battles.h.i.+p.
The defensive barrier of the Ice Demon’s Battles.h.i.+p was unable to withstand the attack.
Although the battles.h.i.+p hadn’t been destroyed, it had suffered considerable damage. It would be impossible to catch up to Bernice.
Under the protection of the fire dragon, the other races who came to rob the Mechanical Hearts could only grit their teeth and watch her leave.
Soon, half a month pa.s.sed.
The flames on the fire dragon’s body were not as vigorous as before, and its power had decreased greatly.
The fire dragon was now Bernice’s only support. If it was gone, she would be in danger again.
Bernice fell into despair once more.
She looked at the galaxy map. At her current speed, it would be at least three months before she left the Disarray Galaxy.
She did not know if she could last until then.
“Fire Dragon, you will escort me out, right?” Bernice gently touched the fire dragon beside her.
Fire dragon carried flames, but they wouldn’t hurt Bernice.
The fire dragon nodded its head. For some reason, the flames on its body seemed to be more vigorous than before.
One month later, the flames on the fire dragon’s body became much more dispirited.
Bernice tried all sorts of methods to strengthen the flames, but none of them worked.
This was a divine art that Dan Yangzi had used. With his current realm of Tribulation Transcendence, the fire dragon could exist for about a year.
However, as time pa.s.sed, its power would decrease unless an immortal cultivator channeled True Qi into it.
Bernice did not understand these things and could only watch as the fire dragon became weaker and weaker.
Although the fire dragon was not as powerful as before, it was still more than enough to deal with those races beneath the higher races.
On this day, they had just gotten rid of another group when they encountered the Ice Demon race again.
It was the same team of Ice Demons from before.
As a higher race, they had their pride.
After repairing the battles.h.i.+p, they immediately set out to look for Bernice.
Bernice was extremely panicked when she saw the Ice Demons’ battles.h.i.+p.
She knew very well that when the fire dragon had not finished off the Ice Demons when it sp.a.w.ned at the very beginning, it was even more impossible to do so now.
“Lowly White Wolf, you have to pay the price for your actions.” A furious roar came from the Ice Demon battles.h.i.+p.
Then, three tall Ice Demon warriors flew out.
Their auras were very strong, and their dark blue eyes were filled with murderous intent.
They stretched out their palms, and the surging cold air was like a huge tsunami, instantly drowning Bernice’s battles.h.i.+p and freezing it into ice.
The next moment, a red light bloomed like a flower.
The fire dragon let out a huge roar as flames engulfed the battles.h.i.+p. The heat dispelled the cold, but it was quickly gathered back.
“Don’t go out there, Fire Dragon,” Bernice called after it.
During this month and a half of escape, Bernice treated the fire dragon as her companion.
She knew very well that if the fire dragon went out, it certainly would not return.
She had already lost many of her companions. She did not want to lose the fire dragon.
However, the fire dragon was not a living being and did not have any sentience.
Its mission was to protect Bernice’s life and escort her home safely.
The fire dragon mercilessly broke out of Bernice’s arms and rushed out.
Boom!
The fire dragon roared at the sky before shooting flames at the Ice Demons.
The three Ice Demons looked at each other and smiled, their eyes shooting out dark blue light.
The temperature of the light was extremely cold.
The flames of the fire dragon were instantly frozen by the blue light.
“The… The flames froze.” Bernice stared blankly at the scene.
The next second, the blue light struck the fire dragon.
The fire dragon’s body was freezing at a visible speed.
Soon, it became an ice sculpture.
The fire dragon was gone!
Bernice’s heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t stop her eyes from watering.
Bernice had lost her greatest support.
The flames on Bernice’s battles.h.i.+p instantly disappeared, and cold air instantly filled the entire wars.h.i.+p.
The surface of Bernice’s battle armor was covered in a layer of frost, and the cold air was like the scythe of a Death that was placed on her neck, ready to take her life at any moment.
Soon, Bernice was frozen into an ice cube. Her vitality was rapidly depleting, like a candle in a breeze that was about to be extinguished.
Just as her consciousness was about to be shrouded in darkness, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“Bernice, I’m here!”
