She’ll be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s brows drew together. \"Mersha... why don’t you test it yourself first? Even if it’s dragon-based, it still feels... demonic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha tilted her head, raising an eyebrow. \"And how exactly am I supposed to test something like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted both hands in a casual shrug. \"Seriously, don’t worry. It’ll work for her. Big Sister Dahlia is stronger than you think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel exhaled slowly, forcing herself to stay calm as she turned back toward the arena. \"Let’s hope you’re right, Mersha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia dropped to one knee, one hand pressed against her chest as a surge of energy coursed through her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, her form began to expand, the strain shattering her armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fragments didn’t simply fall away. They dissolved, absorbed into her skin as though consumed by the very power overtaking her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she lifted off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her back arched, suspended midair as the transformation took hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body grew larger, muscles reshaping beneath newly forming scales that spread like a living tide across her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her limbs stretched and reformed, becoming something far more monstrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a violent tear, wings burst from her back, followed by a long, powerful tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, her final form emerged, stunning everyone present, even Rachel and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia had always been able to transform into a humanoid azure sky dragon. But this time...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had become something entirely different. Instead she transformed into a massive demonic black dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha’s mouth fell open in shock. \"Wow... I didn’t think she’d transform into a demonic dragon instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camille looked up at the massive black dragon. Her expression barely changed, but her eyes sharpened with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tail swayed once behind her. \"Interesting... so you can transform into a demonic dragon now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a soft chuckle. \"To think you’re almost the same as me, a demonic cultivator.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even after she spoke, Dahlia gave no response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camille’s chuckle grew into a sharper laugh. \"So you can’t even answer me now? You’re even worse than me... a demonic beast without a mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tails swayed more intensely as her gaze hardened. \"Then let’s see who is truly superior... you, a demonic dragon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused slightly, a faint smirk forming. \"Or me, a perfected chimera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>----\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia spread her wings wide, her massive form casting a shadow across the arena. A deep, thunderous roar burst from her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Demonic Dragon Roar]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound slammed outward like a shockwave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind and crushing pressure surged across the battlefield, splitting the ground into jagged cracks that spread in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camille stood her ground, facing the roar head-on. Instead of flinching, she grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you forget?\" she said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a demonic cultivator too and stronger than you. A measly demonic dragon roar isn’t enough to defeat me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lifted her chin slightly, her chest expanding as she inhaled. Then, in the next moment...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Toxic Mist Breath]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick stream of green liquid shot from her mouth toward Dahlia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In midair, it burst apart, rapidly expanding into a dense, toxic mist that swallowed Dahlia whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camille’s eyes narrowed as she observed the scene. \"Now, feel it, my specialized poison: the Perfect Chimera Venom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tail swayed once, slow and confident. \"Even if you’ve become a demonic dragon... you won’t survive that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of a collapsing dragon, what answered her was a deafening roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, Dahlia slammed her wings downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful gust erupted, tearing through the mist and scattering it into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camille’s smile faltered. Her eyes widened in disbelief. \"How... how is this possible? My venom can paralyze even cultivators in the Perfection Realm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dahlia did not give her time to process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic dragon turned, her massive body coiling with lethal intent as she opened her jaws wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Demonic Dragon Breath]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark energy gathered at her mouth, condensing into a violent sphere of black flames laced with crackling lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, it surged forward, an overwhelming torrent of destruction aimed straight at Camille.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camille’s gaze sharpened, but she did not retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she coiled her tail tightly beneath her like a compressed spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sudden release, she launched herself upward, narrowly evading the incoming breath as it tore through the space she had occupied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In midair, she looked up at Dahlia, her expression hardening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know how you resisted my venom,\" she said coldly, \"but you’re still only a Third Realm dragon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body twisted fluidly, her tail cutting through the remnants of the dragon breath with surprising ease as she ascended above Dahlia’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Venom Overdrive]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of toxic energy erupted within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The venom coursing through her veins intensified, flooding her entire body and amplifying her strength to its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camille twisted again, tightening her tail further, compressing it to its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Coiling Crush]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tail came crashing down like a divine hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact struck Dahlia’s head directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening shockwave rippled across the arena as Dahlia’s massive body was driven downward, slamming violently into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth shattered on impact, forming a deep crater beneath her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camille landed lightly a short distance away, her tail slowly uncurling as the energy around her settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exhaled once, steady and controlled, her eyes fixed on the crater below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now you understand,\" she said quietly, \"the strength of the Perfect Chimera.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel stepped forward without thinking, eyes fixed on the crater. \"Dahlia!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Mersha didn’t look worried. She smiled, arms loosely behind her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Miss Rachel,\" she said lightly. \"Big sister Dahlia isn’t that easy to take down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel didn’t respond. Her gaze didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mersha tilted her head, still watching. \"Her demonic dragon form is much tougher than you think...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, her smile widening just a little. \"...and this isn’t over yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s eyes sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the crater... a low sound echoed.
