The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 225 - 208: Rampant Madblood Attack

Luna Sutton’s trembling fingertips brushed her own face, and the beauty in the water’s reflection also touched her face.

Suddenly, her nose began to feel sour; all the mockery and malice she and the original host had endured were entirely thanks to these damned cursed insects.

She suddenly recalled the words the system had said when it first bound to her: "As long as the host completes the strategy task, she can receive various rewards and restore her appearance~"

Now it all seemed like a complete scam.

"Damn system, crawl out here immediately."

She roared in her heart, grinding her teeth in anger.

But the only response was dead silence.

Ever since the damn system punished her by making her ugly, it acted as if dead, playing deaf and mute.

"Heh..."

She sneered coldly, pushed Mael Valerius away, bent down, scooped some water to wash her face, and cleansed away the sticky black fluid and blood.

Mael Valerius’s madman’s Heart Blood could lift the curse, yet the damn system never mentioned it, instead dangling "rewards" before her to make her a puppet on strings.

Thinking about how she had been foolishly manipulated by the damn system, her heart flooded with anger. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

A weak gasp came from beside her feet.

Mael Valerius’s half body was soaking in the bloody water, with most of the scales on his Dragon Tail peeled away, and the wound on his chest continued to bleed.

He looked up at her restored visage with his terrifyingly bright dark golden pupils: "Luna... so beautiful..."

Luna Sutton kicked away his reaching hand, but stiffened upon glimpsing the rolling wound on his chest.

The wound was inflicted by her wood hairpin; originally, it wasn’t this large, but to lift her curse, the Dragon Claw had widened it considerably.

"Don’t think that I’ll forgive you because of this."

She frowned slightly and turned to leave, but before she could reach the shore, the sound of a heavy object hitting the water came to her ears.

Instinctively turning around, she saw Mael Valerius completely submerged into the deep pool, his ink-black hair spreading out like seaweed, strands of blood floating to the surface.

"Damn it!"

Luna Sutton cursed and leaped into the water, swiftly swimming towards him.

She grabbed his collar and dragged him toward the shore, cursing herself for being foolish.

Luckily, buoyancy helped lessen the weight; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to move him.

After exhausting all her effort, she finally dragged him onto the shore.

Drained, she collapsed onto the edge, gasping for air.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that beneath Mael Valerius’s Dragon Tail scales were rotting purple-black wounds, emitting sinister black fumes.

Suddenly, she recalled the scene of the battle before the space distortion.

She remembered Rhys Blackwood transforming into a python, coiling around Mael Valerius, seemingly biting him.

Luna Sutton stared at Mael Valerius’s festering wounds, her brows furrowed tightly: "This mad dog couldn’t have been poisoned by Rhys Blackwood’s snake venom, could he?"

She reached out to peel back the Dragon Tail scales, but her fingertips were stung with burning pain upon touching the black blood.

No, it seemed there was more than just snake venom; there must be other poisons involved.

"Ugh..."

Mael Valerius suddenly convulsed, his Dragon Tail violently sweeping aside a nearby tree trunk.

The veins on his neck bulged, with web-like purple-black patterns emerging beneath his skin.

"Is this the frenzy blood acting up inside?"

Luna Sutton stepped back in fright, recalling a rumor she had heard.

When Frenzied Beast blood erupts, it attacks indiscriminately, and more severely, causes self-mutilation.

Sure enough, she saw Mael Valerius begin to tear at his chest wound with his Dragon Claw, his flesh becoming a bloody mess.

The Dragon Tail smashed stones along the shore with a "snap," his dark golden vertical pupils turning crimson red.

Mael Valerius suddenly opened his eyes, his dark golden eyes crawling with bloodshot lines, flipping over to pin her down, his burning breath sprayed on the side of her neck: "Luna... Mine..."

His skin cracked with fiery-red patterns, marking the onset of Frenzied Beast transformation.

Luna Sutton was pinned down, unable to move, her face turning pale with fright. Desperately thinking, she cupped his face with both hands: "Mael Valerius, look at me, who am I!"

His dark golden pupils flickered for a brief moment, then he suddenly lowered his head, biting her shoulder.

At the instant the blood gushed forth, he let out a painful choke: "Luna, leave quickly... I’ll tear you apart..."

The veins on his neck bulged again, releasing her, as the Dragon Tail swept her away three yards: "The frenzy blood inside me... is about to explode, leave... as far as possible."

Her body collided with the rock wall, a metallic taste rising in her throat.

Looking up, she saw Mael Valerius’s entire body turned purple-black, veins protruding, with the Dragon Horn cracking with fissures.

"Roar—!"

The resounding dragon’s roar whipped up waves of air, the entire waterfall reversing skyward.

Mael Valerius fully dragonized, the hundred-meter dragon body crazily crashed against the mountain wall, black blood mixed with scales falling out like a storm.

Luna Sutton wiped away the blood at the corner of her mouth, watching the dragon smash fragments from the mountain wall, the Dragon Scales peeling away as he collided.

"This madman held on until now and only then erupted..."

She gritted her teeth and decided to take a gamble.

The vines in her palms shot out instantly, fragments of broken stone brushed past her cheek, stinging with fiery pain.

The vines quickly wrapped around the Dragon Tail, but wilted instantly upon touching the black blood.

"It’s useless..."

Mael Valerius’s human head struggled to emerge from the Dragon Neck, his dark golden eyes flickering between clarity and chaos, "This is... Phoenix Clan’s fire poison... and frenzy blood... now with snake venom..."

Luna Sutton listened to Mael Valerius’s words, her heart thundering with shock and bitterness.

Phoenix Clan’s fire poison, frenzy blood, combined with Rhys Blackwood’s snake venom...

Any one of these is enough to be lethal, let alone all three mixed together.

To hold off eruption until now, his willpower is incredibly strong.

Ordinary people would have gone mad long ago.

"Roar—"

The dragon raised its head again, letting out a painful roar, its tail sweeping violently, causing the surrounding trees to collapse with a crash.

Mael Valerius’s bloodshot pupils contracted fiercely, his dragon body twisting madly, sharp claws tearing at his own chest, black blood gushing out.

Yet he seemed to feel no pain, continuing to howl: "Kill...kill me..."

Luna Sutton was exceedingly anxious; if this continued, he would tear himself apart alive.

Without considering anything else, she rushed forward, the vine in her palm growing wildly, rapidly wrapping around the dragon’s body, attempting to forcibly restrain him.

Unfortunately, as soon as the vine touched the dragon body, it was immediately corroded by the black blood, producing a "sizzling" sound, instantly withering into ash.

"Damn it!"

Her expression turned grim, watching Mael Valerius’s tail whip up monstrous waves, the entire valley shuddering violently, seemingly on the verge of collapsing the next moment.

She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, her fingertips gathering all her Wood Element Ability.

The vine instantly surged, transforming into thick chains, winding up the dragon’s body, forcibly binding his limbs and tail.

Simultaneously, the vine emanated a glowing green light, seeping between the dragon scales, where black blood boiled wherever it passed.

Mael Valerius’s dragon body suddenly stiffened, his dark golden pupils filled with pain and struggle, "Luna...you will be backlashed..."

Luna Sutton ignored him, another vine shot out, directly encasing his entire head, the glowing green light slowly seeping along his hair, forehead, and temples.

To wake him, the poison in his head needed purifying first.

The vine broke and regenerated inch by inch in the toxic blood.

The acute pain spread throughout her body, uncertain whether it was from the backlash or from exerting her ability too much.

She saw Mael Valerius’s fragmented memories: a five-year-old girl applying medicine to a black snake with horns, a boy of seven or eight kneeling in The Dragon Clan’s hall, his skin and flesh torn, and at eighteen, his eyes blood-red as he crushed a Phoenix Clan marriage contract...

"Mael Valerius, you..."

Her face turned pale, shocked into speechlessness, a chord in her heart seeming to be struck.

The original owner was lucky and unlucky at the same time.

It’s simply the whims of fate.

The vine’s green light surged.

Mael Valerius’s dragon tail slammed to the ground, the festering wounds growing tender pink flesh.

He suddenly transformed into human form and pinned her down, his fangs piercing her carotid artery: "Luna...my medicine..."

Luna Sutton was trembling all over with pain, instinctively wanting to push him away.

Mael Valerius’s fangs clearly broke her skin, but he only gently held that soft flesh, hot liquid sliding along her collarbone.

This Mad Dragon was crying.

She instantly froze, her neck side dampened by tears, scalding her heart into trembling.

"You..."

She was about to speak when the man suddenly erupted, flinging her aside with a slap.

She fell into the shallows, choking on a mouthful of blood, her face pale.

Looking up, Mael Valerius was already staggering to the edge of the waterfall.

His skin cracked all over, black blood oozing from his fingertips, dark golden vertical pupils filled with struggle and agony.

"Go!"

He roared, pounding his temple, his dragon tail smashing rocks into pieces, "While I can still control..."

He tore off the vines wrapped around him, exposing his bloody wounds.

Then suddenly jumped into the waterfall.

The dragon shadow flashed through the tens of thousands of rushing streams, leaving only blood-tainted mist dispersing into the air.

And Mael Valerius was already gone, nowhere to be found.

Luna Sutton lay by the shore coughing violently, her fingertips gripping the rocks by the shore tightly.

The waterfall’s roar drowned out the dragon’s cries, the blood-tinted mist shredded by the mountain wind.

She stared in the direction Mael Valerius disappeared, her chest heavy and uncomfortable.

Propping up her body, she suddenly noticed a blood-stained dragon scale sticking to her palm, the edges of the scale tinged with a strange purple-black.

It was precisely from Mael Valerius when he tore at his wound.

"This lunatic..."

She wiped the water off her face, suddenly hearing a sharp phoenix cry from above.

Looking up, she saw nine Fire Phoenixes streaking across the sky, figures standing on the phoenix backs.

It was the beastmen sent by The Phoenix Clan upon hearing the dragon cries.

Aside from the nine Fire Phoenixes, three cloud-breaking Torch Dragons emerged.

The dragon backs were filled with The Dragon Clan’s elite.

Luna Sutton cursed in her heart, quickly turning to hide in the dense forest.

"There’s someone there."

The Phoenix Clan girl on the Fire Phoenix instantly noticed Luna Sutton, seeing the dragon scale in her palm and the familiar scent lingering in the air, she was instantly infuriated.

It was Celestia Fawkes, daughter of the Phoenix Clan Chief, the one engaged to Mael Valerius.

Her appearance was dazzling, her brows and eyes carrying an arrogant superiority.

"Capture her for me."

Celestia Fawkes ordered sharply.

The Fire Phoenix instantly spewed flames, blocking Luna Sutton’s path.

The Torch Dragons roared, approaching in an instant, their dragon might almost forcing her to her knees.

Her face turning pale, she ran faster, rushing into the dense forest.

Though exceedingly tense, and frightened by the spectacle, at least her mind hadn’t short-circuited.

Trembling, she pulled out the invisibility cloak to wrap herself, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
