Rise of the White Dragon-Chapter 453: Nora’s Suffocating Domain

In an instant, Eko brought his hand to his throat, followed by others who also began to feel a sensation of suffocation. It was an indescribably uncomfortable and agonizing experience.

"You...!" Corvus looked at Nora, clenching his teeth while anger and fear reflected in his eyes.

A sarcastic and mocking smile danced on Nora's delicate lips. "Me? What is it?" She paused, enjoying the moment before continuing. "Oh, you're wondering why you're suffocating? Hehe~ Normally, I wouldn't bother explaining, but today I'm in a good mood. It's nothing mystical, actually.

The air around us has become part of my domain. That is, it will be difficult for you to breathe. I suggest you stop this attempt~"

Corvus and the others looked at her in total astonishment!

Indeed, it was an exceptionally arrogant domain! How could it affect the air to the point of even preventing breathing? What kind of power was this after all?

As doubts increased, their expressions fluctuated between shock and perplexity.

Witnessing the agony her ability caused, Nora's smile took on an even more evident malice. As long as they were her enemies, she reveled in their suffering, especially observing their constantly changing expressions...

Nora's warning had an immediate effect; the thieves struggled to control their breathing, using oxygen conservation techniques they had learned to survive in extreme conditions. This ability to adapt proved vital, even though they knew it was only a temporary solution.

Meanwhile, the group chasing the thieves finally caught up with them.

Upon seeing the thieves entangled in the domain, the leaders' first reaction was to order a pause to analyze the entire situation.

In the air, the group of cultivators hovered, waiting for the command of their leaders.

Not far from there, they spotted Luan.

Frank, the leader of one of the groups, suggested: "Let's first try talking to that guy over there with white hair."

Minerva, also a leader of another group, agreed: "I agree." A subtly malicious smile played on her lips as she finished speaking, her eyes fixed in the direction of Luan.

"What an interesting man... This must be the renowned Great White Emperor, right?" Minerva thought, a flash of lust crossing her mind. "I wonder if he is also 'great' down there? Hehe, it would be fascinating to have the opportunity to find out..."

If Nora or Ingrid knew of Minerva's thoughts, or if she dared to express them near them... it would be like a frog jumping into a frying pan...

"Hahaha!"

Nora's sudden laughter echoed through the environment.

In fact, there was only half truth in what she had said earlier.

The moment the thieves ceased breathing, they unconsciously closed all the pores of their bodies, preventing anything from entering or leaving.

However, this was also within Nora's plan. The air enveloped by her domain, the 'Crimson Prison', had already infiltrated the bodies of the thieves. The moment it became trapped inside them, it began to multiply at an alarming speed, poisoning them. It didn't take long for them to start fainting, along with the great falcon.

"Bang!!"

The sound of the falcon's body impacting echoed throughout the area.

Nora soon dissipated her domain and approached the now unconscious thieves, sprawled over the large bird.

Meanwhile, the thieves' pursuers watched anxiously as Nora approached and began removing items from the bodies of the thieves.

"She's trying to steal our stuff!" one of the leaders exclaimed.

The others quickly realized the same thing and felt a growing unease. Dealing with the thieves was still within their powers, but for someone who had defeated them so easily, things might not be so simple.

Nora ignored the shouts of the thieves' pursuers, focusing on her task. She quickly rummaged through the bandits' belongings, carefully selecting what she deemed valuable.

Meanwhile, the leaders of the pursuers exchanged nervous glances, aware that facing Nora would be a much greater challenge than dealing with the thieves themselves. The skill and cunning she had demonstrated so far left them apprehensive about what could happen next.

As the thieves remained unconscious around her, Nora continued her relentless search, like a skilled predator who had just taken down her prey. The air was tense, charged with expectation and uncertainty about what the future held for everyone present.

"We should act now before she becomes an even greater threat," Frank said, the tension evident in his voice.

Minerva nodded, her thoughts in a whirlwind. She recognized the truth in Frank's words and shared his concern. Nora was a force to be reckoned with, and letting her continue free could bring disastrous consequences for their plans.

As the leaders silently debated what to do, Nora finished plundering the unconscious bandits, her serene expression contrasting with the turmoil around her.

Minerva cast a determined glance at Frank. "We need to act quickly and with precision. We cannot let her get away with what she stole."

Frank nodded, sharing Minerva's sense of urgency. Together, they formulated a plan to confront Nora and recover what was theirs.

While the leaders of the thieves' pursuers plotted their next move, Nora rose from the bodies of the bandits, a satisfied expression playing on her lips. She had gotten what she wanted, and now it was time to deal with any obstacle that stood in her way.

Minerva's eyes narrowed as she observed Nora, her mind working frantically to find a chink in the Red Empress's armor. She knew that facing her head-on would be a mistake; Nora was a formidable opponent, capable of turning the tables at any moment.

"Frank, we need to act smart," Minerva whispered, keeping her eyes fixed on Nora. "We have to find a way to neutralize her without exposing ourselves to unnecessary risk."

Frank agreed with a nod, understanding the gravity of the situation. They needed to find an approach that leveraged their own skills and Nora's weaknesses.

Meanwhile, the cultivators waited nervously for instructions, aware of the importance of acting cautiously in the presence of the imposing Nora and Luan.
