Khooooo Poooak!

Shethe power of her Dragon Breath to ⅓ it's length

”Teleport!”

I ed to avoid it, but had I been just a fraction of a second slower I would have disappeared fro quickly, and the flaes

'damn it's so unfair! I'd be KO if she connects just once, whereas I spent hours chipping away at her health only be on the back foot once again What could I possibly do?'

Ting, Ting Pooooak

The situation was reversing, her Dragon Breaths arrived quicker, she still had the instant cast Roar and Cleanse Not to eneration outpaced my DPS and after about one hour was back up to 50 health

'I can't go on like this, it won't end well for me'

'Sorry Johra, I wasn't well informed and matched you up with an impossible adversary When I had seen your Stats I expected you to succeed easily'

Gnoss was truly frustrated by histhis and it was also in his self interest to make me survive, in order for me to unseal him at a later date

The battle continued for hours as I dodged her attacks, looking for an inspiration, when I finally found one by exa her wounds

'Gnoss, what if I cause her Mana to leak out?'

'It ht burst out or possibly backfire on her internally, is that what you're ai for?'

I sues and had the their fire solely on the her largest Mana vein running along her stomach

Hwaruk! Hwaruk!

At first it was just a scratch, but by constantly concentrating the attacks of es, I was able to slowly chip away at those ar the first streaest Mana vein

Poooung kukooong!

The tion Breath Her spell backfired on her, causing an internal explosion which sent her flying into the air before landing with a loud thump

Oooops Kuuuhe

That exchange alone had taken 5 of her HP, but es didn't let up on their attack

Hwaruk! Hwaruk!

What began as a small nick had turned into a deadly wound as her silver blood poured out A [Severe Bleeding] was seen on her Status and her health was dropping quickly She reassuon body, unable to maintain the Polymorph

”You are a worthy adversary”

Lying helpless on the Ice floor, her Hp had dropped dra imminent death and had but seconds to live

'Create Cure'

[You have learned Cure Lv1]

Suddenly I dropped to floor, having forgotten that I exceed my maximum of 3 Creation spells

'Create Levitation'

'Johra what are you doing? Surely you're not thinking of…'

'Create Teleport'

[You have learned Teleport Lv1]

”Teleport!”

As I teleported to her side, the Skeleton er owned the skill

”Cure! Cure! Cure!…”

Valenor was on death's doorstep, having all but lost consciousness I had to cast Cure countless tiible effect After thousands of chants, the wound started to close up until she finally recovered froeneration kicked in and her life was no longer in danger

'Johra how can you do this? You were just lucky to win that tiuarantee your safety She was the one that was trying to kill you'

'Shut up, I can't bear the thought of killing such a nificent creature'

I spent the night by her side in this icy world, waiting for Valenor to wake up and as thesun rose in the sky, she opened her eyes

”Worthy foe, why did you not end my life?”

”I simply like people thatare loyal and can stand by their word You waited patiently for 100 years for your opponent to show up, and you were even willing to forego you advantageous location of the ma pool for my benefit”

”Ha ha ha, are you saying you spared someone who had tried to kill you for such trivial reasons?”

Valenor's boohter shook the skies, it was the incredible power of her Dragon's Roar

”Polymorph!”

Valenor transforon and knelt before me

”Fro to accept Valenor as your faithful servant?”

I had no choice but to take pride itto overcome and inspire such confidence into sub superior in power I spoke out without much consideration

”Yes, I would like it if you stay close to me”

Too late, I realized what ht be misunderstood and Valenor's silver white skin blushed red form embarrassment I just now rerin, I can't exactly take my wards back no can I?

'Uhg…gee! Did you intent to ? What you've just said is the equivalent of a proposal aons!

Before I had tie, Valenor walked over and kissed my bony hands

”Valenor accepts the King as her lifelong companion”

It took me a few seconds to understand what had just happened

'Ha, looks like your single life is over I never knew that this Suprehts, it's iht be a good thing was this you purpose?'

My mind was a mess Yesterday's respected and powerful opponent was today's loyal and obedient wife I had yet to decide if it was a positive outcome

”My King, I require nothing in return and wish only to be by your side, crushi+ng your ene your commands This is my oath to thee as the first to defeat reement entailed”
