Contrary to what one might expect from such a colossal being, the ancient dragon moved with breathtaking speed.

With a deep inhale, it gathered an immense chilling energy before unleashing a concentrated beam of icy breath.

The attack compressed into a thin blinding streak of bluish-white light that pierced through the air as it shot toward the colossal dark dome enveloping the winding mountains ahead.

The beam pierced through the darkness and its searing cold collided with Nyx's dark energy.

Bolts of black lightning crackled across the sky as the opposing forces clashed.

Though the white beam failed to completely stop the beam of black lightning, it managed to shift its trajectory ever so slightly.

The dark spear which was now veered off course struck the juvenile dragon's back instead of its head. A sickening tear split through its body and the spear burst out through its left eye in a spray of blood and energy.

A deafening roar of agony shook the mountains as Abyssal Dark flames ignited around the gaping wound and consumed the dragon's flesh in an eerie and otherworldly fire.

The spear didn't stop and continued its relentless path as it slammed into a distant mountain peak.

The impact carved a massive crater into the rock and triggered an avalanche that sent an unstoppable cascade of snow and ice hurtling down the slopes.

The ancient ice dragon which had now fully emerged from its lair roared in immense fury that shook the whole Shattered Tundra.

Its massive wings beat against the air as it ascended with its icy breath still streaming from its jaws.

It had acted too late to save its younger kin from severe injury but it was determined to confront Nyx and put an end to the chaos.

Nyx hovered in the sky as her dark aura radiated power and menace. She glared at the ancient ice dragon and her eyes blazed with defiance and disdain.

The two titans faced each other and the sky split into white and black expanses as their auras clashed in a silent battle of wills.

The air crackled with energy and black and white lightning erupted in the meeting point of their auras.

But Nyx had no intention of prolonging the fight.

Her goal was not to wage war but to reach the Bloom Haven Continent as quickly as possible.

Lucky bastard, she gave a final, disdainful glance at the gravely injured juvenile dragon and the old guy, she turned and soared into the distance as her dark wings cut through the sky like a shadow.

The ancient ice dragon watched her go and its massive chest heaved with anger but relief at the same time.

It knew better than to pursue her. Nyx was a force to be reckoned with, and he was already too old and had no desire to provoke her further who was still in her full prime.

She had already shown mercy by not being relentless in her attack and left after she saw that her first attack was unsuccessful.

She was too disdainful to attack again and attributed his survival to his luck.

As the darkness receded and the first rays of sunlight returned to the sky, the ancient dragon retreated to its lair with the wounded juvenile in its tow as the Abyssal Dark flames couldn't be extinguished by normal means.

If he did not interfere, the little dragon would definitely die.

Nyx continued to press forward and finally reached the glacial sea as she exited the Blood Veil Continent through its northernmost point.

The freezing winds and the vast ocean filled with drifting icebergs barely fazed her.

Only the distant roars of anxious and enraged giant bears echoed in her ears as she soared effortlessly across the morning sky.

She traveled for nearly half a day over the sea and her keen senses constantly remained alert for any threats lurking beneath the waves.

A breath of relief escaped her lips as she realized this stretch of the journey had been relatively uneventful.

Fortunately, she had not encountered the massive deepwater creatures who were mindless, primal beasts that attacked anything exuding power or even the faintest scent of flesh.

With the potent aura she carried and the sheer concentration of blood and flesh energy within her, masking herself was nearly impossible.

Those creatures possessed unnatural and gifted senses that transcended any aura suppression or concealment techniques and that made them relentless predators of the deep.

Soon, the distant sight of lush green pastures and golden sunlit beaches came into her view.

The contrast was stark as this land was the complete opposite of the Blood Veil Continent.

Here, vibrant life thrived beneath a radiant sun and was untouched by the suffocating darkness that pervaded her homeland.

The Blood Veil Continent was a place of eternal twilight, where even daylight struggled to break through the oppressive gloom and people there only got to see the sun occasionally.

Its flora was twisted and sinister and its fauna was steeped in unrelenting violence and bloodlust.

Every shadow held danger, and even the air itself seemed cursed. Though even with all these differences, the Blood Veil Continent was a haven for her.

It was her home and she could only feel truly at peace when she stayed at her Ebonspire peak and now she was not even alone. Ethan was with her...

Thinking of Ethan suddenly, her mood turned down but it also reinforced her determination to find a cure for his mysterious incapacitation.

But the Bloom Haven Continent was nothing like that. Here, the forests teemed with gentle creatures as their vibrant forms moved gracefully beneath the towering canopies.

Clear waterfalls cascaded into pristine lakes where multicolored fish swam undisturbed. The land was bright, warm, and full of life.

And then, there was the tree—the colossal, ancient World Tree.

Even from this distance, its towering form was visible to her eyes.

An emerald colossus similar to a vine from this distance seemed to bridge the sky and the earth.
