Chapter 233 Playing With Fire [Part 4]

As Thirteen and Blacky charged toward the Ogre King, who had been sent flying by the Fire Dragon earlier, he couldn't help but glance at his Status Page to see his Sixth Trial.

——————————————

< Sixth Trial >

— Light the Beacon of Hope

— Reward: You will be given the option to ask for whatever reward you want. However, this reward doesn't extend to the restrictions that are placed on your body.

Even if you wish for them to be removed, it will not happen. So, think of the next best thing as your reward for completing this monumental task.

P.S. As long as the reward you wish for is within reasonable bounds, it will be granted without fail!

——————————————

Thirteen had long become paranoid of missions with a reward like this.

Simply put, if the seven-year-old could light the Beacon of Hope, he would be given a wish. But, the last time he asked for a wish, this wish was not granted to him.

Because of this, the System of Cannon Fodders had developed trust issues when it came to rewards like these.

Pushing these thoughts to the side, Thirteen finally reached the location of the Ogre King, who had just managed to prop himself up from the ground.

"Mr. Strong Ogre! There is something I want to say!" Thirteen shouted as Blacky stopped a few meters away from the Ogre King, who could easily turn the two of them to meat paste.

"Are you food?" The Ogre King asked. "I'm not hungry! Come back later!"

"No! I'm not food!" Thirteen replied. "There is just something I need to tell you!"

"Speak!" the Ogre King said before it shifted its attention on the Fire Dragon, who had succeeded in landing a blow to the Tigerkin King's body, sending him flying.

"I have a friend that can help, but you need to create an opportunity for him to strike!" Thirteen explained.

Since the seven-year-old knew that Ogres weren't really that smart, he explained his case as simply as possible, making the Ogre King nod its head.

"Okay!" the Ogre King agreed before running toward the Fire Dragon with a roar filled with defiance. New novel chapters are published on

Thirteen, who had managed to convey his plan to the Ogre King, asked Blacky to take him to the Tigerkin King, who had suffered an injury after getting hit by the Dragon's attack.

Fortunately, King Atlas had a robust body and a powerful regeneration ability, so he only needed a few minutes to fully recover and fight the Fire Dragon once again.

What happened between the Human boy and the Ogre King didn't escape his attention, so when the seven-year-old ran in his direction, he decided to give the boy a chance to speak to him.

The Ogre King, King Gomorra, and the Tigerkin, King Atlas, didn't hesitate to jump into the hole and pummel the Fire Dragon's head with everything they had.

The Fire Dragon, who could still move its arms, was about to crush the two insects that were messing with it, when a pair of clawed hands grabbed its Draconis arms from behind and held them in place.

Cranky appeared and bit the Fire Dragon's neck, which had been seriously injured by the Ogre King's Bone Club and the Tigerkin King's gauntlets, refusing to let go.

After consuming the body and the Jinn Core of the Rank 6 Overlord Hyena, the Purple-Furred Honey Badger underwent a mutation, transforming into a Devil-Horned Honey Badger, which was a Rank 7 Sovereign.

Cranky knew that the only choice it had was to fight alongside Thirteen or die and be consumed by Arundel and his subordinates.

The funny thing was that, due to its fear of the Majin Prince, it had gained a similar skill to Rocky and Tiona, allowing it to dig through the ground without leaving any traces.

However, this ability was enhanced further because Devil-

Horned Honey Badger could now create sinkholes in the ground and bring any of its targets toward it.

So, with its newly-gained strength, it decided to tag-team with the Ogre King and the Tigerkin King to defeat the Fire Dragon.

Thirteen made sure that the two kings wouldn't attack Cranky and assured them that it was their ally. Because of this, they focused on just beating the crap out of the Fire Dragon, who suddenly decided that enough was enough.

Out of desperation, it then opened its mouth to unleash a Dragon's Breath at point-blank range, not caring about the aftermath.

But that was a huge mistake.

As soon as it opened its mouth, Giga Chad's Giga Destroyer blasted straight into its mouth, making it choke.

But that was the least of its worries.

A spark was ignited in the Fire Dragon's throat, causing Giga Chad's stink spray to combust inside the Fire Dragon's body, mortally wounding the Rank 9 Sovereign.

"One last push!" Thirteen shouted. "Kill!"

"Sure thing, son."

Before Thirteen could even react to the voice from behind him, Gerald jumped down the hole with his hammer ready to strike.

Golden flames blazed around the Grandmaster's hammer, augmenting its power to devastating levels.

"Hammer for all Seasons Final Form!" Gerald roared as he unleashed the Martial Technique's strongest killing blow. "Fortress Breaker!"

With a blow powerful enough to destroy the defensive walls of a fortress, Gerald's hammer smashed against the Fire Dragon's head like a meteorite.

A cracking sound reverberated in the surroundings, which signaled the death of one of Arundel's Generals.

The mighty Fire Dragon died after getting gangbanged by desperate people and monsters, whose only desire was to live and return to their families who were waiting for them back home.
