Yaeger focused intently on the fierce and deadly quadruple attack. With a quick leap, she tiptoed off the ground, evading the incoming strike.

‘What should I do next?’ she thought.

Despite the immense danger, her mind raced as she calmly searched for a solution.

‘The four dragons will undoubtedly launch a second attack once I jump. But in my current situation, dodging the next attack seems nearly impossible. [Void Walk] would let me slip into the void, but if they see me do it, it’ll be far less effective—I’ll still be vulnerable. With four pairs of eyes locked on me, every movement is exposed. Even if I use [Flash], I’ll still end up within their attack range. This is giving me a headache…’

In that fleeting moment, Yaeger couldn’t come up with a viable solution.

At that instant, four streams of black light collided with the spot directly beneath her. The streams crashed together with violent force. Surprisingly, the destructive streams of black energy didn’t explode. Instead, they ominously merged into one.

‘Oh no!’

Yaeger’s eyes widened, almost as if she could foresee the terrifying outcome.

Boom!

As she feared, a massive pillar of black light shot upward. The suddenness and speed of the attack made it virtually impossible to avoid! In an instant, the black pillar shattered the barrier and surged toward the ceiling.

A circular shockwave followed, shaking the entire arena. The impact was both terrifying and immense! If the barrier hadn’t absorbed most of the energy, those outside the arena—including Alicia and the other spectators—would have been injured as well.

At that moment, both the spectators in the arena and those watching the broadcast were left in a daze. The attack had been too fast, too sudden—no one had time to react! Not even Yaeger could have reacted to it.

Was she about to pay a terrible price for a single mistake? Alicia clenched her fists, her heart filled with worry. If Yaeger had been hit directly by that terrifying attack, she could have been permanently injured—or worse, killed!

Yunuen bit her lip, her gaze fixed and unwavering. She refused to believe that the undefeatable [Princess] would be defeated here. Little Fairy frowned as she stared at the black pillar. To her, the Black-hearted Princess was the epitome of invincibility and immortality. Could this be the moment she would witness Princess’ first defeat?

In real life, Nangong and the others stared at the projection screen, their hearts gripped with trepidation. In a certain apartment, Rakshasa’s phone slipped from her hand onto the bed. After a moment, she picked it up again, continuing to stare at the screen.

‘My Princess will never lose!’

Back in the arena, the black pillar of light finally dissipated. Four pairs of dragon eyes suddenly widened in shock. They could still see the “ant”! She hadn’t been killed by the attack! Suspended in mid-air was a figure—beautiful, yet haggard.

At that moment, Yaeger’s aura was weakening, her expression pale, blood trickling down her lips. All her equipment was damaged, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Yet, her eyes burned with rage. Immense, uncontrollable rage!

If she hadn’t summoned a defensive barrier at the last split-second to absorb some of the damage, the previous attack would have vaporized her!

Seeing that she was still alive, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But upon closer inspection, their worry returned.

Yaeger’s condition was far worse now. With four Swift Black Dragons against her, it was only a matter of time before she was defeated. Yet, Rakshasa was the only one who seemed excited. For one simple reason…

“You… you actually hurt me this badly!” Yaeger suddenly spoke as she landed back on the ground.

In the next moment, a wild surge of aura erupted from within her, radiating with a fierce red light. Immediately after, she slammed her fist into the ground, sending shockwaves rippling outward like blooming petals.

In response, the Swift Black Dragons attempted the same tactic, manifesting black energy orbs in their mouths. But they were still too slow!

In a flash, Yaeger appeared before one of the Swift Black Dragons like a phantom. This dragon, with its vacant gaze and relatively weak aura, was the clone of the first dragon. At that moment, it opened its mouth, preparing to unleash a destructive black pillar. But despite sensing Yaeger right in front of it, it still couldn’t react in time.

“Let’s start with you,” she muttered. The dragon’s last sight was of her leg flashing into its vision.

But it only glimpsed her leg for a split second. The next instant, her powerful kick deformed its face, nearly separating it from its body. The force of her kick lifted it off the ground, sending it hurtling through the air like a cannonball!

Yaeger vanished, only to reappear beside another clone. Her intense aura manifested into a translucent palm, which she used to slap the dragon clone away! The dragon clone was swatted aside like a mere tennis ball.

In the next instant, the onlookers watched as the dragon clones collided violently with the original dragons. It was fast! Incredibly so! The audience couldn’t keep up with her immense speed, and neither could the dragons.

“Hiss!” It was too late for the dragons to react. The clones collided with the original dragons, resembling a catastrophic car crash.

“[Greatwave]!” Yaeger seized the advantage, swinging [Sunscorch] and unleashing a wave of sword energy that surged forward with terrifying power!

The four Swift Black Dragons had no escape. They were overwhelmed by the torrent of sword energy, with fresh blood spraying everywhere as their anguished wails filled the air.

“Bloom.” Yaeger continued her assault, swapping to her crossbow. [Berserk Thunder] appeared in her hands as she unleashed [Multi Shot]! Her attack speed and damage had doubled from before!

Bolts crackling with purple electricity rained down on the four Swift Black Dragons like a raging storm. But it wasn’t over yet—lightning strikes followed, and a purple electric storm engulfed everything in its path!

At that moment, Alicia was reminded of a crystal recording she had seen before. It was footage of her and Yasa battling in the [Castle Arena]. Back then, [Princess] had been overwhelmed by Yasa in the first stage but had erupted in strength during the second stage, nearly smashing Yasa to bits. Now, she was doing it again!

The one-sided fight and oppressive beatdown left Yunuen and the others in awe, their bodies trembling uncontrollably!

In a certain apartment in real life, ‘Ah, it’s wet.’ Rakshasa wiped the saliva from her screen. Her glowing, beautiful eyes were fixed on the dazzling and unmatched figure, and she couldn’t help but feel restless. ‘I want to be with Princess!’

In the game, on the arena, the purple storm dissipated, and the Swift Black Dragon clones dissolved into black particles. The two remaining dragons crashed to the ground.

At the same time, Yaeger’s rain of bolts came to an end. But her onslaught was far from over. She stepped forward with her left foot and flashed away, reappearing in front of both dragons in the blink of an eye. Her fox coat materialized, and her nine tails danced wildly.

Another barrage of attacks followed! The two Swift Black Dragons were struck as they fell from the air, crashing to the ground in a dazed and enraged state.

As their damage accumulated, their frustration reached a breaking point the moment they landed, shattering the arena platform in their fury. Their bloodshot eyes burned with rage as they activated their special skills [Berserk] and [Shadow Dash] simultaneously!

The first dragon raised its head and unleashed a destructive pillar of light. The second dragon swung its claws wildly.

Yaeger, who had just slammed both dragons into the ground and was now levitating in the air, hadn’t expected them to react so quickly. Now, she couldn’t defend herself, nor could she dodge.

Fortunately, the first dragon was either concussed or had terrible aim. Its destructive pillar of light missed Yaeger by a hair’s breadth. Even so, it caused significant damage, and Yaeger instantly lost one-third of her health points.

Meanwhile, the second dragon’s claws swung, sending sharp wind blades hurtling toward her. This time, Yaeger wasn’t so lucky. She was struck multiple times, and her health points were reduced to just 3%. Not only that, she was sent flying, making it nearly impossible to dodge. If the Swift Black Dragons launched another attack, she would surely be killed!

At this moment, Yaeger was in a dire situation!

‘It hurts! It hurts! It hurts so much, like my nerves are severed, like my brain is being stabbed by a twisting screwdriver!’

The immense pain from both attacks tortured her to the point where she couldn’t think straight. She couldn’t find a way out. She was helpless, unable to find a way to survive. This was the end!

Everyone was overcome with despair, including Nangong and the others in the real world. Only Rakshasa clung to a glimmer of hope.

As if in response to that tiny glimmer of hope… Something unexpected happened! A black storm suddenly swept across the arena. Mid-air, Yaeger became enveloped in a black aura. Her eyes, bloodshot from the immense pain, began to glow with red light, staining her [Flower of the Tall Peak] with a bloody hue.

The pitch-black aura spread, turning all her equipment an abyssal black. As if that wasn’t enough, a pair of giant black wings sprouted from her back, resembling the wings of a demon!

Yaeger was undergoing both external and internal transformations. Her nearly depleted mana was instantly replenished, and her body felt incredibly light, as if she was filled with boundless strength!

The arena fell into deafening silence. Everyone was flabbergasted, completely stunned. None of them could have imagined that [Princess] would undergo such a horrifying transformation at this moment.

Even Rakshasa was shocked. She had expected [Princess] to use [Final Strike] to turn the tide, as she had before. She hadn’t anticipated that the enemies had tricks of their own hidden up their sleeves. But soon, her fear turned to joy.

No matter what happened, [Princess] was the one she loved. Her victory and survival were all that mattered!

In the arena, both Swift Black Dragons were shocked and terrified by the oppressive aura emanating from her. Their massive bodies trembled uncontrollably.

Among the spectators, a petite blue figure was trembling as well. She was terrified! An uncontrollable fear was welling up from deep within her heart!

In that moment, the wings of darkness unfurled, and the entire arena trembled violently!

Yaeger emerged, clad in black with a bloody flower atop her head. Her flowing black hair, glowing red eyes, and black crossbow in hand made her appear like a goddess who had descended from heaven into the very depths of hell! It was beautiful, majestic, and utterly terrifying!
