Chapter 279 Disk?

[I'm back to school and this chapter was written during my break so it's not really edited. I'll try to edit it later when I'm back. Thanks for reading]

[Third Person POV],

Together with screaming, Ace did exactly as Andrew Dawn told him to do and threw all the pills in his hands into the air.

He had no idea how doing this would bring the pills to Andrew Dawn, but since the man had said so himself, Ace did it and it didn't take long for him to find out what Andrew Dawn's plan was exactly.

Immediately after giving the screamlike signal, Ae was just about to turn to the battle between Andrew Dawn and the dragon phantom when he suddenly heard two loud sounds that came after the other as he felt a cold wind pass him.

"Hmmm"

"What's that?" Ace muttered in quick succession as he was taken aback by the sudden sounds.

The first one was similar to the sound of two heavy items hitting each other and the second sound that came after was one that Ace was familiar with.

The second sound was awfully familiar to the one that sounded when Andrew Dawn broke the speed of sound and when Ace turned to look at the pills he had just thrown in the air now, he was taken aback to see that they had all vanished and when he then turned to look at the area Andrew Dawn and the dragon phantom was, he saw that the dragon body was lingering in mid-air as Andrew Dawn was no well to be found.

Although it was weird that Andrew Dawn was nowhere to be found all of a sudden, Ace could still think of a possible conclusion as to why his pills had disappeared and why the dragon phantom appeared to have been knocked up to mid-air.

For one, it was highly possible that the first sound he had heard was from Andrew Dawn landing a heavy blow on the dragon phantom that was enough to send it in mid-air and the second one he heard was from Andrew Dawn breaking through the speed limit to come to his side quickly and take the pill.

The cool breeze he felt earlier should have come from Andrew Dawn passing him.

At least this was what Ace thought to be the case and surprisingly, Ace was right on point but there was no way for him to know as he only had this suspicious head in his head and had no time to think of it.

The reason why he said he had no time to think of the thoughts going on in his head was that while he was not the one battling the dragon phantom, he could not bring his guard down in case of any sudden event that could happen.

"But where is the emperor?" Ace thought as he wondered where Andrew Dawn must have disappeared too as he watched as the transparent body of the dragon phantom slowly descend from mid-air but when he looked around in the large pit together with Andrew Damn men, the said man was nowhere to be found.

'Do we have to fight the monster for a while?' Ace thought and while he really wanted to try his hand at fighting the dragon phantom, he knew it was impossible as he wasn't even enough for a warm-up but seeing as Andrew Dawn was nowhere to be seen, it was possible that the fight was going to happen.

Ace did not think that Andrew Dawn would run away from the fight at this point because he could tell that Andrew Dawn really wanted to have the dragon heart so he will be unwilling to leave it especially after coming this far in the fight.

As Ace thought of this, He watched as the body of the dragon phantom dropped to the ground as the whole den shake again together with the dragon roar that came after.

ROAR!!!!!

"I guess I have no choice then", Ace thought as he brought two explode runic explosives from his storage ring after putting the twin blades in while he struggled to adapt to the violent shaking of the den.

'Well it's either I die from the dragon phantom hands or from the den suddenly collapsing since it seems it can't hold on for long again or I survive. It's either of these three and I'm surely not ready to die yet', Ace thought as he was about to dash to the dragon phantom when he saw something that made him come to a halt.

Andrew Dawn had already arrived at the Dragon Phantom at some point and although he was still coated in blood, the red mist that was emitting from his body before appeared to be stronger than before and the pressure he was releasing was still strong to the extent that Ace could feel it from where he was made him realise that Andrew Dawn appeared to be better than it was the moment before it disappeared.

The only thing that Ace could think of was the cause of this was that Andrew Dawn had already taken his pills.

Although this was most likely the case, Ace still did not know where Andrew Dawn had been when he disappeared at that time but now that he was back, it did not matter.

At least now he was able to last longer in the fight.

'Although I doubt he will last very long', Ace thought as he could already see the reality of things.

For one, it was obvious that Andrew Dawn would not be able to fight as he was fighting the dragon phantom from the very beginning and looking at how things appeared; it seemed like he was even close to collapsing even though he was still capable of monstrous strength.

He was clearly exhausted and the dragon phantom was the same but unlike Andrew Dawn; it did not look like it was going to collapse or die out as soon as he didn't increase his power through external means.

Perhaps this was the difference between a dragon and a human despite Andrew Dawn being one of the few humans with an Epic Grade job.

Perhaps if Andrew Dawn was equal in level with the dragon phantom, the situation might be different.

After evolving and getting a job, the primordial chronicle made it so that the more powerful a job is in addition to how powerful the owner of the job is, the more primordial record was required.

The good thing was that different from when a specie was still unranked and levelled up, the improvement brought from levelling up when one was ranked was significant and the more powerful a job is, the more significant the improvement brought from levelling is.

This was the reason why someone with a high-grade job could easily defeat someone with a job that was lower in grade despite the power being at a higher level than him or her.

Unfortunately for Andrew Dawn, he did not have much advantage against the dragon phantom.

Perhaps if he had a job with a higher grade than his current one and was focused on combat or if he had helpers that were not lower than him in strength significantly, then perhaps the battle with the dragon phantom will not be this hard.

At first, he took that if Andrew Dawn thought that he didn't need to take extreme measures to defeat the dragon phantom even if it was stupidly powerful but that he knew the dragon phantom couldn't be taken down without extreme means, he wondered if he should have just used one of the trump cards in his hands.

He did not regret his actions as this will make it that the price he has to pay for using the trump card will be bearable.

After all, a trump card won't be called a contract if one could use it casually

As Andrew Dawn thought of his actions, he looked deeply at the dragon phantom in front of him which was also doing the same as they both ignored everyone's gaze on them.

Andrew Dawn did not have the time to concentrate on anything else apart from the fight while the Dragon phantom just ignored everyone else apart from Andrew Dawn as it could tell what the biggest threat to it was.

Although its true consciousness had not been revived, it could still tell that anything else apart from Andrew Dawn was an ant to it.

Unfortunately, it could have never been wrong.

After staring at the dragon phantom for a while, Andrew Dawn released a sign slowly before bringing out a disk-like object from his storage ring under the gaze of everyone as dust continued to fall from the ceiling of the pit, reminding everyone that time was not really on their side.

The disk-like object Andrew Dawn brought from his storage ring had a very ordinary appearance but apart from him, nobody knew that this was an item that came out of a rainbow-grade item.

Andrew Dawn thought that it was very likely that he was even the only one that knew the function of this unassuming item in the pit. Everyone apart from him should be completely clueless.

Well, not everyone as Ace had a strange expression on his face when he managed to see the appearance of the disk in Andrew Dawn's hand.
