Chapter 205 The brink of despair
GRAOO!!!
The lightning dragon roared, and the sound turned into a gust of wind. The ash on the ground was swept away by it, and it formed a layer of ash fog around the forest.
The lightning dragon rushed forward as Lathel's magical energy transformed its body, making it nearly ten metres long.
It tore through the space in front of it as it rushed straight towards the Fire Drake.
BAM!
The lightning dragon collided with the Fire Drake's magic circle, which resulted in a large explosion. A shock wave swept out, and it brought terrible temperatures and flashes of electricity.
KANG!
KANG!
KANG!
The sound of metal colliding continuously rang out. Even though the Fire Drake had broken through and reached level 60, it still could not destroy the Lightning Dragon.
Moreover, the lightning dragon was repelling it. The Fire Drake's four legs clung tightly to the ground, but it was still being pushed back, causing it to leave four deep trenches in the ground.
Lathel felt like his body was about to burst; his life was being drained away. But he still gritted his teeth and blessed the lightning dragon with all his energy.
Crack!
The sound of something cracking, although very small, was enough to make Lathel happy.
At this moment, countless cracks appeared in the Fire Drake's magic circle. Those cracks were like spider webs, as they spread to the entire range of the magic circle.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
The sounds continued, and less than five seconds later, the light from the Fire Drake's magic circle became weak as if it were about to go out.
BANG!
GRAOOO!!!
The magic circle shattered into countless pieces and disappeared. The lightning dragon also took advantage of this opportunity and immediately rushed towards the Fire Drake's head.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of lightning rang out continuously, the lightning dragon completely disappeared, but the Fire Drake's body was surrounded by countless electric rays.
Those electric rays attacked its internal organs and spread to its external body parts.
GRAOO!!
The fire Drake screamed in pain, its body was constantly shaking as if it were about to fall, and its scales continuously went up, then down.
Blood poured out of the skin behind the scales, and it drenched its entire body.
The Fire Drake's body trembled continuously. After a while, it fell to the ground, causing it to cave in.
Lathel gasped, seeing this scene, he also fell and lay on the ground. He looked up at the sky while feeling like his body was about to break into countless small pieces due to the excruciating pain he was in.
However, he no longer had the strength to whine or moan, he could only lie down and wait for death to slowly approach him.
His body was also starting to slowly turn black at this time, like a block of wood burned by fire, He was also emitting white smoke and an extremely unpleasant burning smell.
Lathel slowly closed his eyes. He felt a little unwilling that he was going to die, but when he remembered that he had saved many people, he thought to himself, 'This is good. A useless life like mine can be exchanged for many other lives; this price... seems cheap.'
His consciousness then fell into darkness.
[Ding! Detecting that your life has reached its end, the skill 'Bailout' is automatically activated.]
[Ding! Entering life support in 5 minutes.]
[Ding! The countdown has begun...]
[Ding! The life support period is temporarily suspended...]
Lathel felt his body relax a bit. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a familiar face enter them.
'Claire...' He thought to himself because he no longer had the strength to open his mouth and speak.
Claire's body also had many burns at this time, and even a large chunk of her hair was burned off.
The Fire Drake never thought that it would still lose against a human whose level was much lower than itself after levelling up.
A human being that it sees as a small ant could fight back and put it in a miserable position.
The Fire Drake opened its mouth, and a dazzling fireball appeared inside its mouth.
Lathel didn't care about the Fire Drake anymore, he just looked at Claire and prayed that she was still alive.
He can die because he still has the 'Bailout' skill, which can revive him.
But... Claire is different, she doesn't have that skill, and she can't revive.
While Lathel was drowning in despair, a voice suddenly rang out.
"You dare to hurt my student... Die!"
Coutless cracks suddenly appeared in the sky, which then shattered like glass, revealing the real sky.
A giant sword more than ten metres long appeared and fell from the sky. The sharp blade emitted a dazzling aura that easily penetrated the Fire Drake's steel-hard scales like butter.
Whoosh!
The blade pierced its neck and continued moving straight into the ground like a giant nail.
Fresh blood flowed out and along the sword like a waterfall.
The two flames in the fire Drake's eyes slowly weakened, then completely disappeared.
Until the moment he died, the fire Drake couldn't believe that he could be killed so easily.
At the top of the hilt of the sword, a small figure was standing. It was a woman wearing an extremely dazzling white dress, with angelic beauty and a perfect body.
She was wearing a pair of extremely sophisticated brown wooden shoes; her hands were on her hips, and an arrogant and angry expression was on her face. Frowning,she said: "I will not allow anyone to hurt my students."
Immediately afterwards, she rushed down, landed softly like a goose feather, went to Lathel's side, and hugged him, while burying his head between her giant mountains.
"Huhuhu... Lathel, do you know how worried I was?"
"I thought I wouldn't be able to see you again."
"Are you stupid?! Why did you risk your life like that? Just ignore those stupid contestants, your life is priceless, why are you facing that gecko alone?"
The Fire Drake is dead, but if it were still alive, he would be furious that someone said he was a gecko.
But Lathel was even more miserable right now, the two soft mountains emitted a feminine scent that suffocated him.
"Teacher... you... you... leave me!"
"I won't!" Lilith shouted: "I won't let you go, I won't let you go forever!"
"Huhuhu... I was so worried about you, did you know that when I saw you about to be burned to cinders by that gecko, my heart almost stopped beating."
"Lathel... I won't let you leave me anymore. I will protect you. Don't worry, even if you become disabled and become a vegetable, I will still take care of you."
Lathel: "..."
He felt that, although he was not killed by the Fire Drake, he was about to be suffocated by Lilith.
"Teacher... I... I'm about to... suffocate..."
"Heh?!" Hearing that, Lilith immediately let go of Lathel.
After Lathel escaped from the world's softest pillow, he gasped.
"You... hurry up... Save Claire, she... she..."
Lilith heard Lathel's words and pouted, she felt extremely uncomfortable: "I saved you, but you didn't thank me, now you are asking me to save another girl."
"Lathel, you are hurting my heart so much that it's about to break. You are truly a terrible man."
Lathel: "..."
He wanted to cry. Why was Lilith still not normal at this point?
"Teacher..."
"Okay, I know." Lilith snorted and said. Soon, she let go of Lathel, approached Claire, and checked on her: "She is still breathing, but it is very weak."
"However, we cannot save her unless..."
Lathel held his breath as he waited for Lilith's words. For Lathel, if he cannot save Claire's life, he is afraid that he will live in regret for the rest of his life.
"Unless you kiss me."
Lathel: "..."
