Chapter 115 Sober
Lance's pupils contracted sharply.
Melissa looked at him, her eyes brimming with tears, yet she still forced a smile: "Ruth—guide—"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Her hand slipped off Lance's hand.
Those eyes were still looking at him, but the pupils were already dilated, emptyly reflecting the broken tree canopy above and the pale moonlight.
Lance knelt there, motionless.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Tears silently streamed down her face, leaving two faint streaks on her blood-stained cheeks.
"roar--!!"
The howl of the pterosaur broke the brief silence.
It pounced again!
"Fuck you—!!" Garu's roar was like a thunderclap, and he swung his giant axe in a heavy arc, heading straight for the dark figure!
"Clang!"
The axe blade clashed with the claws, producing a piercing clang!
Xia Lin gritted his teeth and thrust his longsword straight at the wolf-winged dragon's side!
But that thing was too fast. It didn't even turn around; it just swept its thick tail, the scaled whip of its tail whistling through the air!
Xia Lin hastily raised his shield!
"Bang—!"
The force transmitted through the shield was astonishing. Xia Lin was sent flying, his back slamming hard against a tree, and his vision went black!
The pterosaur did not pursue.
With the help of those deformed and twisted fleshy wings, it was now suspended in mid-air.
It coldly scanned the area below with its vertical pupils, a low, menacing growl emanating from its throat.
"roar--!!"
A visible sound wave exploded!
That sound wasn't an ordinary roar, but rather a strange, piercing scream that seemed to go straight to the brain!
Xia Lin felt a buzzing sound in her head, her vision blurred instantly, and a strong sense of dizziness and nausea surged up.
Garu also staggered, almost dropping his giant axe!
The pterosaur let out a short, commanding howl—Come here! Kill them!
It turned towards Lance.
The Crimson Knight, who should have been its most loyal servant, was now completely under its control.
Lance did not move.
The pterosaur's vertical pupils narrowed. It hissed again, this time sharper, carrying obvious impatience and a menacing tone.
Lance slowly stood up, his head bowed, his expression unreadable.
Finally, the loyal servant walked step by step toward the wolf-winged dragon.
The wolf-winged dragon lowered its head with satisfaction, ready to accept the return of its servant.
then.
A straight sword stained with blood tore through the air and thrust straight at its throat!
The pterosaur reacted quickly! At the last second before the sword tip touched its scales, it jerked its head to avoid the fatal blow! But the sword still grazed the scales on the side of its neck, leaving a deep bloody gash!
"roar--!!"
It let out an incredulous, furious roar!
Lance looked up.
Those eyes were no longer the chaotic, murderous eyes of a wild beast.
At that moment, his eyes held pain, sorrow, anger, and all the emotions that a human being should have.
Lance did not speak.
He simply gripped his sword tightly, standing between the wolf-winged dragon and Melissa's corpse.
The wolf pterosaur immediately flew into a rage.
It never imagined that its most prized servant would betray it at this moment!
The wolf-winged dragon flapped its wings suddenly, transforming into a black shadow as it pounced straight at the blood-red knight who dared to betray it!
Lance parried with his sword!
"Clang!"
With a deafening crash of claws colliding with the blade, Lance's body was thrown backward by the impact, the earth beneath his feet churning up!
Having landed a successful attack, the pterosaur took to the air again, circling and searching for its next opportunity to pounce.
It's too fast.
The shadow moved so fast that Xia Lin's eyes could barely keep up with its trajectory.
He was panting heavily, leaning against Garu, the two of them in a primal back-to-back defensive stance.
"This thing—" Garu's breathing was heavy as a bull's, "is too fast—"
Xia Lin did not answer. He stared at the dark shadow swirling in the night sky, his mind racing.
Its flight capability must be limited.
But how do we restrict it?
It's much faster than the Spiky Lion, so fast that it's difficult for Garu and Lance to even track its trajectory, let alone attack. Neither Garu nor Lance are agile fighters; only Kyle is a bit better. And Kyle?
Xia Lin suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where Melissa had fallen.
It was completely empty.
Kyle is gone.
Xia Lin's heart skipped a beat.
No way—at this critical juncture, the wanderer Kyle has run away?
But he immediately dismissed the idea. He had witnessed Kyle and Melissa's friendship firsthand; she wasn't the type to run away at the last minute. But where was she now?
"call--!"
The sound of something cutting through the air!
Xia Lin instinctively rolled to the side!
Claws grazed his back, tearing through his armor and slicing three deep gashes into his flesh! The excruciating pain exploded like fire! Xia Lin groaned, staggering as he steadied himself, his back already covered in blood.
He gritted his teeth, took out the bottle of low-grade healing potion, bit off the stopper, and tilted his head back to gulp it down.
A cool sensation rose from my stomach and spread to the wound, slightly relieving the intense pain and stopping the bleeding somewhat.
Without a female priest, the recovery process is too slow.
He glanced in the direction of Melissa's body, then quickly looked away.
At that very moment—
The pterosaur swooped down again!
This time, the target isn't Xia Lin, it's Lance!
Lance raised his sword to parry!
But the pterosaur suddenly changed direction in mid-air, its thick tail sweeping across!
"Bang—!"
Lance was sent flying, his deformed arm covered in dark red scales exploding into a cloud of blood mist in mid-air!
The severed arm, along with part of the shoulder blade, was snapped off by the wolf pterosaur's tail whip, which was powerful enough to shatter rocks, and rolled into the grass!
Blood gushed out like a fountain!
Lance crashed heavily to the ground, letting out a muffled groan, but he gritted his teeth and didn't scream!
He used his remaining left arm to support himself and struggled to his feet!
His face was ashen, and blood was still gushing from his severed arm, but he did not retreat a single step.
He stared at the dark shadow in the sky, letting out a low growl that seemed to be squeezed from the depths of his chest.
That was no longer a beastly roar.
That was the roar of humanity.
He lunged forward, using his last remaining hand and his last bit of strength, to pounce on the wolf-winged dragon that was swooping down again!
The wolf pterosaur clearly hadn't expected its dying prey to dare to attack!
It wants to rise.
But Lance had already pounced on it!
The intact left arm suddenly shot out and gripped one of the wolf pterosaur's hind legs tightly!
"roar-!!"
Lance roared, his muscles bulging, putting all his remaining strength into this moment!
The wolf-winged dragon was pulled so hard by him that it swayed and its upward momentum was abruptly stopped!
"roar-!!"
It roared furiously, its other hind leg kicking wildly at Lance's chest and abdomen! Each kick could shatter rocks!
Lance's breastplate was dented, and he coughed up blood, but he held onto his hind leg tightly, refusing to let go even in death!
It's now!
A familiar figure suddenly fell from the dense canopy of the giant tree atop Wolf Wing Dragon's head!
Kyle!
