F**k, I definitely can’t let them have their way!
Suo Fei fiercely stared at Balnor. Time doesn’t wait for anyone. Although he didn’t discover it early, it also wasn’t late. Balnor’s artifact was still on cooldown. If he used this time to interrupt him, it would waste all the black-robed men’s efforts of bearing the dragon’s wrath.
Suo Fei didn’t bother wasting time pondering how to interrupt him as he was aware that he didn’t have the capability of doing so.
Instesd, he hurriedly told Samael what he knew of this matter. After Samael finished listening, his eyes flashed and he whispered, “Leave it to me. Don’t leave, just stay on the dragon’s back. ”
Suo Fei nodded, fully aware that he would only be a hindrance if he went.
Samael spoke towards the red dragon, “Nael, attack with all your strength. Don’t hold back. ” Then he turned towards the fireball fatty, “Don’t use AOE attacks, use single-target spells and coordinate with me.”
Samael didn’t explain it clearly but Suo Fei had a rough idea.
The current situation was that Suo Fei knew the existence of the Transmogrifier but the red dragon didn’t. Hence, the dragon didn’t take the black-robed men seriously. He had not used all his strength as he felt that it was unnecessary.
Grantlyn and his group also understood this. So to say, the attacks that they had to withstand weren’t that excessive.
However, the situation was actually the opposite. With the persuasion of Samael and him, the red dragon would certainly listen and stop playing with the black-robed men. He would surely go all out, magnifying the pressure on the black-robed men.
For Samael and the fireball fatty, whose attack powers were only second to the red dragon, one would concentrate on dealing physical attacks while the other would cast magic attacks. By coordinating their attacks to some point, the chances of hitting their target would greatly increase.
This was the best strategy they could employ at this moment.
Suo Fei felt a momentary sense of loss. In this fight, his power level was a puny level 5. He could barely protect himself without being a burden on everyone. So frustrating…
This was not the time to be full of remorse. Suo Fei cleared the haze in his mind.
As expected, Samael directly used his heart blood to activate the Asura Blade as he needed to quickly attack.
After the beginning of the battle, when they were being protected by the red dragon’s huge wings, Suo Fei looked for a blind spot so that he could kiss Samael’s chest. Suo Fei was gratified to see the wound heal as Samael had to maintain his peak condition.
The black-robed men were briefly fl.u.s.tered when the red dragon’s attack force suddenly increased. However, they were truly well-coordinated, immediately changing their formation. Their ice shield that was as hard as iron turned into a water shield which lessened the impact of the dragon’s attack, making the shield much stronger.
They had truly come prepared. The red dragon was a fire-type dragon thus his attacks were fire-type. To counter it, they used a water-type defense. They used the law that water restrains fire superbly.
Suo Fei pursed his lips, knowing that the fireball fatty’s attack power would also be reduced. It seemed that they could only depend on Samael.
The timing of Samael’s attack was extremely accurate, precisely at the time of the red dragon’s full-on attack, catching the black-robed men unprepared. His target was apparent as he charged straight towards Balnor.
It had to be said that Samael’s explosive power was truly astonishing. He had not received even one skill up to this date but with just the aid of the divine artifact, he could already regard the whole Yalance with disdain with his power.
If the red dragon’s attack was like being hit with a heavy hammer, then Samael’s attack was as sharp as a dagger, forcibly creating a hole in the formation’s absolute defense!
Suo Fei was able to see clearly from high above and couldn’t help but want to cheer. Too awesome! His figure was as swift as lightning and his attack was as powerful as thunder.
The attack created a gap in the black-robed men’s defense. A bitter shriek sounded and a black-robed man lay in a pool of blood. They were one person less so the defensive formation’s resistive ability decreased.
Suo Fei urged the red dragon, “Attack! Don’t waste such a good opportunity!”
The red dragon lived up to his expectations. He took a deep breath and released a Fire Missile 【named by Suo Fei】which resonantly smashed onto the shield.
The black-robed men were even more fl.u.s.tered, throwing their formation into disarray, forming a hundred more loopholes in their defense.
Suo Fei was feeling proud of his group when he suddenly saw Grantlyn silently uttering something. Suo Fei stared at him and caught sight of what was in his hand.
Cold sweat instantly ran down his back.
They actually had this thing!
Yalance only had three divine artifacts. One of them was the Asura Blade in Samael’s hand which was the only one that had the ability to attack. Suo Fei had been unable to find one of the remaining two even until he completed the game. The last one, however, was currently in Grantlyn’s hand.
It’s called Shadow Shifter.
It was only the size of a palm, but its ability defied the law of nature.
Simply put, it’s a large teleportation array that could be used anytime and anywhere. As long as the destination had been specified in advance, the holder would be able to teleport as they wished.
Grantlyn brandished this object when a black-robed man had dropped dead. What he wanted to do was extremely obvious.
Suo Fei really didn’t expect that they were still hiding this trick up their sleeves.
These thoughts flashed quickly across Suo Fei’s mind when Grantlyn successfully activated the Shadow Shifter.
There was a flash of light. A new person replaced the black-robed man lying on the ground. There was not the slightest change in position hence the formation that was in utter disarray resumed its original appearance. Moreover, the formation’s strength greatly increased due to the abundant power of the new person.
Suo Fei apprehensively looked on and he almost shouted when his gaze landed onto Samael.
Samael was already deep inside the formation, so even though the formation had been mended, he was unable to do anything to stop it. However, a shadow flashed quickly and pierced Samael’s back.
Suo Fei only saw that it was a black-haired, robust man. His face that was slightly leaning towards the side was cold as ice, he held a dagger in an extremely unusual manner, but his speed was extremely quick.
Samael’s heart had been precisely pierced through.
Suo Fei’s eyes turned red.
Samael was near invincible and only had one weakness, which was his heart. His blood could be converted as he wished, but his heart blood could not.
The condition of Samael’s so-called berserk state was that his HP should be near zero but in fact, there should only be his heart blood remaining. This would forcefully activate his self-defense system and drive him into an uncontrollable state where he indiscriminately attacks people.
However, if his heart blood flowed ceaselessly, even if Samael still had a large amount of blood left in his body, he would eventually lose his life.
Samael will die… This sudden realisation exploded in Suo Fei’s head. As if all the blood in his veins became frozen, he went rigid, without any signs of consciousness.
Even though he had been pierced, Samael’s expression remained the same. He paid no heed to the situation behind him. As if he had no injuries, he charged towards Balnor as he initially intended.
The attacker saw that Samael had been so badly injured but was still able to remain unmoved. He was slightly startled but shortly launched a stronger attack.
But it was too late. Samael’s speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, he was already near Balnor who was in the middle of cooling down the Transmogrifier. Balnor was unable to move so he could only look on helplessly.
The blood on the black-haired primeval demon’s chest bloomed like the most enchanting Devil’s snare, his calm purple eyes were like a bottomless abyss. Balnor was extremely shocked when he felt a sharp pain in his body.
His arms had been cut off.
The King of Trolls let out a wrathful roar but was unable to stop the Transmogrifier from being taken away.
The cooldown was forcibly interrupted. Samael managed to seize the Transmogrifier but he was deep inside the enemy camp.
Suo Fei returned to his senses. His face was deathly pale and he was unable to take a single step forward. He was afraid, extremely afraid. He had never felt death as distinctly as now.
Not his own death, but Samael’s.
No, it won’t!
Suo Fei’s lips trembled unconsciously but he forced himself to calm down.
There’s still a way. He could still save Samael.
There was not enough time for him to think it clearly. Suo Fei beckoned the little cub and hurriedly urged it.
The little cub solemnly nodded. Then, he sat on the little cub who rushed out of the protection of the dragon’s wings and flew straight down.
As Samael had obtained the Transmogrifier, the black-robed men surrounding Balnor ceased their defense and started attacking. They wanted to regain the Transmogrifier hence they turned all of their defensive power into attack power with the intention of killing Samael.
This gave Suo Fei the chance. Without the obstruction of the water shield, he, who was riding the little cub, was able to approach Samael quickly.
It wasn’t easy but fortunately, the little cub’s fur was greatly impermeable hence it could pa.s.s through countless violent magic attacks and rush into the area of battle.
The blood in Samael’s chest was flowing incessantly but he was also moving incessantly, the Asura Blade devouring lives wherever it went.
The black-robed men were somewhat fearful of his ferocious fighting strength but Suo Fei knew that Samael was at the end of his tether. He could not delay any longer, he must help him stop the bleeding.
When he reached Samael, Suo Fei jumped off the little cub, pulled out a dagger to protect himself, and approached Samael. He then saw it vividly.
Although Samael’s imposing manner still remained, his face was so pale that it was almost transparent and his purple eyes were nearly black, so dark that there was not even a hint of l.u.s.tre in them.
Suo Fei jumped several times, pa.s.sing through the black-robed men blocking his way and arriving next to Samael.
Seeing him approach, fluctuations could be seen in Samael’s calm eyes. His voice was fierce unlike before, “You can’t!”
He knew what Suo Fei was planning to do.
It reached the point where he was so worried and anxious that he would rather die this way. He didn’t want Suo Fei to reveal his ability in this situation.
Suo Fei didn’t respond. He’s extremely selfish. For his own sake, he didn’t save Abel and Harris. He was so selfish that if Eugene was in trouble, he wouldn’t use his ability to save him. However, he couldn’t, absolutely couldn’t, not save Samael.
Even if he had to exchange a life for a life if he exposed his ability, what of it?
In this world, he only had Samael.
He was the only person that he would never forsake.
Suo Fei closed his eyes and almost devoutly kissed Samael’s wound. A ray of dazzling Holy Light flashed, enshrouding the two of them.
Willing devotion accords divine power for an unexpected recovery.
The author has something to say: I saw everyone’s messages today and suddenly felt that this author was quite miserable yesterday. I was filled with self-reproach, as if I was blatantly asking for consolation and praise. /Covers face/ Could it be that I really think so deep inside? So shy 【That’s enough!】
