I Became a Cute Little Dragon Princess and Now She’s Obsessed with Me Chapter 95

Nonsense—this guy was a Saint-rank powerhouse. Who would want to be his opponent?

Of course I would run!

Erika hurriedly put more strength into pushing the wheelchair, thinking to avoid combat as much as possible and escape as far as she could. This was the Imperial Capital—no matter how powerful Dervick was, he wouldn’t be able to act recklessly for long.

However, just as she started pushing the wheelchair, Veronica suddenly pressed down on it.

“Little Jasmine, you misunderstood. I told you to run—I didn’t tell you to take me with you.”

“Huh?”

“Go.”

Veronica’s tone was calm. “This guy’s target is me.”

“Hahahaha…”

Suddenly, the eight-shaped mustache at the corner of Dervick’s mouth twitched as he burst into loud laughter. “You’re right, Miss Veronica. My target this time is indeed you. If that little girl wants to leave, I won’t stop her.

After all, I’ve been looking for you for a very long time. You were the key factor that caused me to suffer a crushing defeat in this gamble. But at the same time, you’re also the crucial factor that could let me turn things around in one move.

Did you think that just because you hid in Kaslania, I wouldn’t dare come for you?

If that’s what you thought, then you really underestimated me. I’ve thought of more than a hundred ways to enter the city and get close to you.”

“You’re here for the Devouring Ring, aren’t you?” Veronica said coldly.

“Of course. Isn’t that an obvious question? That’s an Artifact.”

“Heh, but there’s one thing I don’t understand.

You should know that the Devouring Ring is bound to its owner. It’s my exclusive possession.

Even if you seize it, you won’t be able to use it.

So why would you betray the Holy Church and kill your comrades for an Artifact that was never meant to belong to you?”

Hearing this, Dervick was completely unconcerned and continued smiling.

“You’re mistaken, Miss Veronica. The reason I joined the Holy Church in the first place was because I heard that there were Artifacts within it.

The Holy Church itself is nothing but a bunch of hypocrites to the extreme. What comrades? I never cared about them.

Besides, Artifacts belong to the great Gods—you shouldn’t possess one in the first place.

As for why I’m seizing it, it's natural to offer it to a great God!”

So he really was here to steal the Artifact!

Listening to the exchange between Dervick and Veronica, Erika didn’t leave.

Although her obsession with helping Meladin find Artifacts wasn’t particularly strong, she still didn’t want this so-called Artifact to fall into Dervick’s hands.

Her red eyes glanced at Veronica, then Erika locked her gaze onto the black gemstone ring on Veronica’s index finger.

The Devouring Ring she mentioned earlier—this should be it. It had to be that black gemstone ring.

“Nonsense!”

Veronica’s brows knitted tightly together, anger surfacing on her face. “A God will never favor someone like you, yet you still dare to claim you’ll offer an Artifact to a God. This is utter nonsense!”

“Heh, worthy of the former Saintess, Miss Veronica.

Looks like the Holy Church’s indoctrination of reverence toward Gods ran very deep in you.

Who told you that the only God in this world is the Goddess of Fate worshipped by the Holy Church?

Those great Gods hidden in the darkness—do you even know of their existence?”

As he spoke, Dervick clearly had no intention of continuing this pointless talk with Veronica.

At this moment, nearly all the fleeing nobles had already escaped from the estate. Dervick knew that before reinforcements arrived, he had to finish this quickly.

After all, there were still two Saint-rank powerhouses in Kaslania.

“Zi—!”

As Dervick began Chanting.

In an instant, green lightning started leaping wildly in the palm of his hand.

“Miss Veronica, are you planning to hand over the Devouring Ring yourself, or do you want me to cut off your hand and take it personally?”

In a flash like lightning, the electric light in Dervick’s palm suddenly expanded, transforming into a sharp green longsword. Crackling thunder echoed along the blade.

“Oh~ sorry, I think I asked a stupid question.

After all, you once even lost your eyes protecting that thing. How could you hand it over so easily?

I’ll just take it myself.”

Seeing this, Veronica’s expression changed slightly. She suddenly turned her head and shouted toward Erika’s direction.

“Little Jasmine, why are you still here! Didn’t I tell you to leave immediately?!”

“But if I leave… Sister Sunflower, you—”

“Go—!”

Letting out a roar, Veronica no longer hesitated. She focused her mind, her lips beginning to Chant a spell.

The next second, two pillars of water appeared out of thin air on the ground.

The high-speed currents began spinning in midair, like two deep-water vortices carrying terrifying suction. Water splashed everywhere, soaking the surroundings.

This kind of water-attribute magic could already be considered Destructive Magic.

It was clear that Veronica was also an extremely powerful mage.

Standing behind her, Erika was almost drenched by the surging water.

Fortunately, she dodged quickly, with only a few droplets splashing onto her white silk stockings.

“They’re wet…”

Pulling at her stockings, Erika felt extremely uncomfortable.

On the other side, Dervick showed no concern at all for the two terrifying torrents of water. Holding his sword in one hand, he charged straight ahead.

His figure flashed into midair. Seeing the oncoming torrents, the corner of his mouth split into a grin as his arm suddenly swung. The lightning-wreathed blade traced a brilliant arc of green lightning through the air.

“Splash!”

The sword collided violently with the water. Countless streams poured down from the sky, water spraying everywhere, forming a scene like a cascading waterfall.

“Dervick, as a swordsman, there’s nothing you can do against my water magic.”

Immediately after, Veronica’s slender fingers clenched sharply.

The water in the sky suddenly froze in place. In the next instant, the suspended droplets seemed to be completely under Veronica’s control, surging from all directions toward Dervick.

In less than a second, massive amounts of water completely enveloped Dervick.

Veronica’s brows tightened once more as she clenched her hand even harder.

“Just drown in there.”

Would he drown?

Of course not. Inside the water, Dervick’s eyes were wide open, a ferocious grin on his face, even his iconic eight-shaped mustache trembling.

“Zi—!”

Suddenly, violent electric light erupted from his body.

A flash of green light burst from within the water. The lightning, conducted through the water, instantly spread.

“Bang!”

The electric light exploded in midair, and along with it, the water controlled by Veronica burst apart as well.

Breaking free, Dervick looked ferocious as his figure flickered wildly through the air.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Accompanied by crackling lightning, each afterimage he left behind shimmered faintly.

Finally, he landed swiftly in front of Veronica, the longsword in his hand already raised high.

Without the slightest hesitation, murderous intent flashed in his eyes as the blade, gleaming coldly, came crashing down from above.

This sudden attack left Veronica no time to react.

And with such overwhelming force, even if she had reacted, she wouldn’t have been able to resist.

She was seated in a wheelchair, and Dervick was a Saint-rank powerhouse—this strike was something she simply couldn’t withstand.

“Whoosh!”

In that instant, a slender little tail trailing flames shot through the air.

Cutting across the sky in a streak of fire, the tail wrapped precisely and deftly around Dervick’s hands, then jerked violently, flinging his entire body away.

“Crash!”

The tremendous force sent him slamming into the former guest seating area, smashing the exquisite tables and chairs into pieces.

Erika stood in front of Veronica.

Her red eyes flickered with fiery light. Two small horns had grown from her ash-gray hair, wings spread from her back, and beneath her maid skirt, a slender tail wreathed in flames swayed through the air.

Now, inside this estate, aside from Dervick and the blind-eyed Veronica, no other humans remained.

Thus, Erika revealed her half-dragon form without any restraint.
