Chapter ?484 Lying With A Straight Face

The earth shook as a vampire and werewolf fought as if they couldn't breathe the same air. The fight continued for a while without any side getting any noticeable advantage. Ice met fire as the area near them continuously plunged into a mix of hot and cold.

But as ten minutes passed, one could guess who was going to win this duel without the need for careful analysis.

"Ha!" Vanessa let out a war cry as her hand fans spun in the air and slashed Talia's back multiple times, leaving wide bloody lacerations.

"GROWLL!!" Talia growled in rage and pain, but she was unable to dodge them since her feet were frozen stiff after thwarting so many of Vanessa's icy attacks.

Since this entire region was favorable to Vanessa, Talia wasn't surprised that Vanessa got an edge over her. But even then, Talia refused to surrender and was still prepared to fight till the end.

"You already lost. Just give up already, and it won't feel so humiliating," Vanessa said with a proud smirk as she licked the blood on the blades of her hand fan before spitting it out.

Talia let out low, seething growls as she staggered while trying to keep her balance. There were lots of bloody marks over her body, and they weren't healing due to her body being poisoned by Vanessa's icy odic force.

She couldn't even use her flames to try and dispel Vanessa's odic force from her body. She was already feeling drained and numb for most of her body.historical

But it was not like Vanessa was able to achieve this without a scratch. In fact, her body had claw marks on her back and her legs, with multiple severe bruises on her body. But all these injuries were healing since Vanessa was standing in a favorable place where she could use the odic force of the environment to hasten her healing process and overwhelm Talia's energy.

"Tell me the truth about what you planned to do with Viktor, and I will be merciful," Vanessa said with a cold gaze as she hovered above an injured Talia.

"Go to hell..I will take you down first and make you tell me what I need to know about my darling," Talia said with a fierce, determined look. Even if she knew she was in a disadvantageous situation, she wasn't willing to accept it.

"You!" Vanessa didn't know what to do but hearing her words, she felt as if Talia wasn't really hiding anything.

And even after being cornered like this, she didn't seem to give up. She has known Talia since forever and knew that nobody could coerce her, just like nobody can force her to do anything.

"That is enough, intruders!" A harsh, heavy voice boomed in the area as Talia and Vanessa saw a huge blue dragon descending down the foggy skies. It was eighty meters long, each of its wings large enough to easily demolish a twelve-storey building like a toy.

Vanessa and Talia were too focused on each other that they didn't notice such a powerful dragon watching them, or maybe it used the fog to hide its presence to get close to them without them knowing.

Both of them instantly recognized this as a winter dragon, and based on how oppressive and heavy its aura and size were, the two of them guessed that this dragon was definitely a notable senior figure from the Winter Dragon race. But of course, they knew it wouldn't be the tyrannical Winter Dragon King since not only was she a female, but they had heard the rumors about how colossal her dragon form was.

The two of them came back to their senses as they realized that they had messed up by fighting each other in a territory they had trespassed.

Their plan was to disguise themselves and secretly reach out to Viktor, but due to their rivalry, they momentarily forgot where they were or why they came here.

Vanessa immediately landed on the ground as she greeted the winter dragon before her respectfully, "I am Vanessa from the Icemoon Kingdom, and I give you my word that I do not have any hostile intentions by coming here."

"You liar! You dragged me here to kill me without anyone knowing and also because you are scared to face me without taking advantage of the odic force in this place," Talia said with a sly glint in her eyes.

She couldn't just let Vanessa get away with it using her grace and poise. She knew they would definitely face some heat by getting caught, so it was better to get one on Vanessa as payback for almost defeating her.

"Huh?!" Vanessa raised her head to look at Talia with disbelief, feeling furious that she was lying through her teeth without any shame.

"She is the one lying, I swear! She came here unannounced, just like me. I swear on my bloodline," Vanessa had to go as far as swearing on her bloodline since Talia's accusation made sense even from a stranger's perspective, even if it was complete nonsense.

Vanessa was worried since if she was coming from a powerful background, the Winter Dragon Kingdom was no joke as well, especially the Winter Dragon King, who was said to be extremely ruthless and fearless.

She didn't want to be the reason for causing any unnecessary hostility between her kingdom and theirs. And Talia was only making it worse.

"Silence! I know who you both are. I am Prince Vadric, and I will let Her Majesty decide what the truth is and the consequences. Now follow me quietly unless you two want to make things worse," Vadric said with a low growl as he flew up into the air without even looking behind. It was as if he was confident enough that these two would follow him unless they were dumb enough to disobey in their territory.

And as expected, Vanessa and Talia glared at each other with a harrumph before following Vadric.
