Chapter 775: Battle Princess, Tiamat
Chapter 775: Battle Princess, Tiamat
"Oh no, this is bad..."
Wendy's eyes widened in dismay as she found herself surrounded by Imperial soldiers. Although she knew that Feng Ye was just outside and felt no fear, she still felt a momentary panic at having messed up.
However, she quickly regained her composure and, with a slight shake of her small hands, cast a spell to enhance her speed. Then, with a nimble leap, she took to the sky.
Whoosh!
As a Sky Dragon Slayer, Wendy was naturally agile, and with the boost to her speed and agility, the little girl soared through the air, arcing towards the exit of the Imperial Intelligence Agency.
But this was, after all, the heart of the Empire's intelligence network, and the soldiers guarding it were no ordinary men. They were all mages, and among them were many powerful ones, including captains whose strength rivaled that of S-class mages from the Ishgar continent.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
A stern voice rang out.
Whoosh!
Several streams of white magical light shot up, forming ribbons that twisted and turned, aiming to bind and entangle Wendy as she flew overhead.
However, Wendy was now a powerful mage in her own right. Seeing this, she calmly flipped herself in the air with a graceful movement, and then opened her mouth slightly, drawing in a breath. Magical power instantly converged towards her.
Roar of the Sky Dragon!
BOOM!
A blast of magical light shot out, shattering the entangling white ribbons into pieces, along with the other miscellaneous attacks that came her way.
This outburst of magic startled the soldiers below.
"Watch out!"
"She's not an ordinary mage!"
Wendy's magical aura had now reached the level of the Ten Saints. Although a Saint-level mage was not considered the pinnacle of power in the Western Continent, being at the level of a commander, it was still a highly respected status.
"That aura... she's a Dragon Slayer."
A man narrowed his eyes, instantly recognizing Wendy's magic.
He was the deputy commander of the Imperial Intelligence Agency!
Even sensing Wendy's outburst of power akin to that of a Ten Saint, he remained unfazed. With a casual hand gesture, he summoned a magical array.
"No matter where you're from, Dragon Slayer, you dare to infiltrate the Empire's Intelligence Agency. I suggest you stay and introduce yourself!"
Whoosh!
In the next moment, he vanished from his original spot and reappeared directly in front of Wendy, having used spatial magic to close the distance. With his left hand, he pointed two fingers like a sword and brought it down towards Wendy, unleashing a powerful wave of magical energy that materialized into a three-zhang-long magic sword, blazing with crimson flames, aimed right at Wendy's face.
Having just used her Roar of the Sky Dragon to clear the incoming attacks, Wendy found herself unable to counter this sudden assault. She brought her small hands together in front of her and channeled her magic, summoning a pair of ethereal wings to intercept the attack.
"Sky Dragon's Wing Strike!"
BOOM!
The crimson flames and white dragon magic collided in the sky, creating an explosion that sent shockwaves in all directions, along with a surge of magical pressure that pushed back the soldiers of the Imperial Intelligence Agency.
This was a clash of Saint-level magic, enough to disturb the very fabric of magic in the area, causing the surrounding soldiers to stumble backward.
Whoosh!
Wendy flew backward, away from the explosion.
She was unharmed, but her attempt to escape had been thwarted.
"To have mastered Dragon Slayer magic to this extent, you must be someone of significance in Alvarez, and yet I don't recall your name. How intriguing."
The deputy commander of the Imperial Intelligence Agency also stepped back from the explosion, landing on a rooftop not far from Wendy, stroking his chin as he studied her.
However, the Western Continent, under the leadership of Zeref, was a unified nation. There were no mage guilds, only a single dominant force—the Alvarez Empire.
Thus, within the Empire, any notably powerful mages would surely be known to each other.
So, the sudden appearance of a powerful Dragon Slayer was highly unusual.
"You're not from Alvarez, are you? You're from Ishgar? What secrets did you hope to steal by infiltrating our Intelligence Agency?"
The deputy commander of the Imperial Intelligence Agency quickly deduced Wendy's origins and speculated about her motives, his gaze turning hostile.
If Wendy were a mage from Alvarez, infiltrating the Empire's Intelligence Agency would still be a crime, but not a grave one. However, a mage from Ishgar infiltrating their agency was an entirely different matter!
It implied that the mage guilds of Ishgar were plotting against the Alvarez Empire!
If the situation escalated, it could lead not just to theft of intelligence but also to potential conflict between Ishgar and Alvarez!
"..."
Wendy opened her mouth, unsure how to respond for a moment, but she quickly reacted. Instead of answering, she flicked her small hands, and a bracelet glowed softly.
It was one of the magical artifacts Feng Ye had given her, capable of incredible binding power that even a mage of Serena the Heaven Maiden's caliber would struggle to break free from instantly!
Buzz!
The white glow from the bracelet intensified and transformed into countless golden threads that filled the air, shooting forward and binding the deputy commander in an instant.
The deputy commander's expression changed as he tried to cast a spell to counter the attack, but he was too slow. Before he could even finish drawing his magic circle, he found himself restrained by the golden threads.
Swoosh!
After binding the deputy commander, Wendy leaped forward once more, rushing toward the exit of the Imperial Intelligence Agency.
"Damn it!"
The deputy commander was shocked and furious, unleashing his magic with all his might, but he couldn't break free from the golden threads' grip. He could only watch helplessly as Wendy escaped.
The other Imperial guards were no match for Wendy, and their chaotic spells were utterly ineffective against a Dragon Slayer who rivaled the Ten Saints.
With incredible speed, Wendy reached the edge of the Imperial Intelligence Agency in the blink of an eye.
But.
Just as she was about to break free, a voice suddenly rang out, accompanied by an overwhelming aura that froze Wendy in her tracks, a power akin to the depths of an abyss.
"Oh? I thought someone had infiltrated the Intelligence Agency, but it's just a cute little girl."
The playful, mocking voice belonged to a beautiful woman with golden short hair who had appeared silently in front of Wendy, blocking her path and exuding an intensely oppressive magical aura.
The sudden appearance of this woman startled all the surrounding Imperial guards and mages, who immediately fell to one knee and bowed respectfully.
"Ti... Lady Tiamat!"
Even the bound deputy commander was shocked by her presence, his eyes filled with awe as he addressed her with reverence.
