Chapter 201 Moharo is desperate
Lathel frowned and said: “So… who will save them now? It is also very difficult for other staff to stop the Fire Drake, as they are unable to participate in the rescue.”
“At least, now that I have enough physical strength, I can also help divert the Fire Drake’s attention. Do you want the contestants who still have a chance of living to face death?”
Icaro was about to say something, but the young man in black spoke up. He looked at Lathel and asked: “Do you really want to rescue those contestants?”
“You must know that this battle is not a training exercise, you may face death.”
“I will not take back my words.” Lathel said firmly.
The young man in black looked at him for a?moment and then continued: “I hope you don’t bother the others. Icaro… If he’s too annoying, just leave him alone, there’s no need to save him.”
“But…” Icaro spoke up.
“There is no need to discuss this anymore. We don’t have time to chat either.” That young man interrupted Icaro’s words: “If he dies, it’s enough for you to say that he died because of his stupidity and weakness.”
After speaking, he took the two unconscious candidates, then looked towards Atrix: “Can you walk by yourself?”
“Ah! I’m not that old yet.” Atrix smiled and said, then he used the shield as a fulcrum to stand up.
The young man in black looked at Atrix and nodded, then glanced at Lathel and said in a low voice: “I hope you don’t die or be so scared that you have to crawl like a dog.”
Lathel could hear the young man’s voice filled with contempt. However, he had no intention of refuting or explaining himself.
He just wanted to save more people.
“Lathel!” Suddenly, a voice rang out, causing everyone to pay attention.
They turned their heads and saw a girl with her hands on her knees, her head bowed as she panted.
Lathel immediately recognised who it was when he saw the girl: “Claire?! What the hell are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to bring those people to the meeting point?
“Hehehe…” Claire tried to suppress her fatigue as she raised her head to look at Lathel and smiled: “The road to the meeting point is not dangerous, so I turned back to help you.”
Lathel held his forehead, as he felt that Claire seemed crazy. He knew she was tricking him, but was it necessary to show it off to this extent?
“Are you crazy? You might die!” Lathel shouted angrily.
Seeing him angry, Claire was not upset, but instead she felt happy: ‘He is angry… It means he cares about me and my safety.’
She nodded and said: “Yes, I’m crazy. I, like you, have become crazy.”
Lathel: “…”
Claire continued: “Like I said, I will stay by your side. Besides, I possess the talent of healing; in a case like this, I will be a great assistant for you.”
“Return!” Lathel shouted, his face filled with anger and worry.
‘Awww! When he’s angry, he’s also very cool and handsome.’ Claire thought.
She just laughed and said: “No!”
“You…”
Atrix, Icaro, and the young man in black looked at Lathel and Claire arguing and could only stay silent.
*Sigh* Atrix sighed: “Youth is wonderful. If I were younger, maybe I would also have a love story like this.”
“Please…” The young man in black frowned and said: “Even if you were younger, with your beauty, do you think any girl would like you?”
“Ah! Maybe there will be some girls with eye problems who will like me. You don’t have to worry.”
Atrix: “…”
“Oy! I feel that you are slandering the elderly. You should respect me, I’m much older than you, brat.”
“I admit that you are indeed older than me.” The young man in black replied calmly.
Atrix: ( ? ? ? ? )
“Enough! How long are you two planning to argue?!” Icaro shouted impatiently.
Hearing that, Lathel clicked his tongue: “Tch! Even if you are in danger, I will not save you.”
“Of course. Even if I’m in danger, it’s my fault, I don’t need you to save me.” Claire smiled and replied.
‘Huh! If I am in danger, you will definitely save me, because… I trust you.’ In her heart, she thought differently.
“Alright! We should go too.” The young man in black was about to leave when he took out a clear porcelain vase and threw it at Lathel.
Lathel caught the clear porcelain vase and looked at the young man in black with confusion.
“There’s some healing medicine inside. I don’t want you to die too quickly.”
Hearing what that young man said, Lathel smiled and replied: “Why don’t you use this medicine?”
The young man in black shook his head: “We are not injured, what we lack is energy and stamina. That medicine is almost useless for my and Atrix’s current condition.”
Hearing that, Lathel nodded and put the small vase into the system’s storage space. “Thank you.”
“No need to thank me. I hope you can save a few more people.” After he finished speaking, he took the two unconscious contestants and Atrix and left.
Icaro then sighed and said: “Okay, don’t cause trouble for me. If you are in danger, scream or run away immediately, understand?”
“Uhm!” Lathel and Claire nodded and said.
GRAOOO!!!
Suddenly, the Fire Drake roared ferociously, causing Lathel, Claire, and Icaro to pay attention to it.
At this moment, in the sky, a giant magic circle, more than 10 metres in diameter, appeared, emitting a dazzling blue aura.
Moharo, who was standing far away, was holding up his magic staff and muttering incantations as sweat poured down his body like a shower.
The magic circle slowly fell and surrounded the Fire Drake’s body. Chains suddenly shot out from the magic circle, binding its body tightly.
GRAOO!!
The Fire Drake roared again, but its roar carried a hint of pain and discomfort.
Icaro saw that and immediately said: “It has been imprisoned, hurry up and rescue the contestants in the forest.”
Hearing that, Lathel and Claire nodded, and hurriedly ran to check the bodies lying on the ground.
Moharo gritted his teeth, blood flowed from his nose, but he still held the magic staff tightly in his hand while muttering: “Ah! My old skeleton almost stepped into the grave, now I have to do these things again.”
“Hopefully, this time when I return, I can retire peacefully.”
Even though he has resigned and is no longer an employee of the students, his sense of responsibility still remains.
Moharo decided to go inside the ‘Black Bone’ forest to assist other staff, and rescue the contestants still trapped inside the forest.
But when he saw the Fire Drake go crazy, he couldn’t stand still and watch. He decided to use all his power to control this monster, giving everyone plenty of time to escape.
Lathel didn’t waste any time either. He ran to find the survivors, guided them, and helped them get to the meeting point.
He didn’t know how many people he had saved, he only knew that sweat had soaked his shirt.
He only knew that many people had turned into charcoal because of the fire of that terrible monster.
Lathel was not stingy either, as he took out the healing medicine the black-clothed young man had given him and gave it to those in critical condition to use.
“Lathel, do you want to rest a bit?” At this moment, Claire spoke up.
Lathel turned his head to see Claire’s appearance. She looked so tired that she was about to fall. There was so much sweat on her forehead that it soaked up her entire dress.
Her body also had many burns from the remaining flames on the ground.
“You should find somewhere safe to rest for a bit. I’m not tired yet.” Lathel shook his head and said.
Hearing that, Claire gritted her teeth and tried to breathe deeply: “I… I’m not tired yet. I… I can…”
“Alright.” Lathel frowned and said: “Don’t try too hard, rest a bit, then continue helping me.”
Hearing that, Claire bowed her head, pursed her lips, and said: “I… I understand.” 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝓶
Suddenly, she came to his side, and placed her hands on his chest, startling him: “Claire, you…”
Claire didn’t listen to him, she just calmly muttered a spell. Right after that, her hands that were on his chest emitted a gentle light.
Lathel felt a little heat on his chest, that heat spread throughout his body, making him feel extremely comfortable.
A moment later, Claire fell into his arms, panting as if exhausted.
Lathel said angrily: “Are you crazy? You are exhausted, why did you use that magic?”
Claire raised her head, smiled, and replied: “It’s okay, I just want to help you a little.” Sorry, I only know this type of magic, I can’t help you much.”
“Enough!” He shook his head, then carried Claire to a safe place, away from this area.
Claire also enjoyed this moment very much. As she lay on his arms, she greedily inhaled his masculine scent, and rested her head on his chest.
At this moment, Claire wished that time would forever stop.
However, that dream quickly ended, Lathel found a safe place, then sat her against a big tree.
“You’re here, don’t…”
GRAOO!!
WHOSSSH!
Before Lathel could finish his sentence, Fire Drake’s scream rang out again, accompanied by a hurricane carrying hot temperatures like the winds in the desert blowing through.
He didn’t have time to think too much, he immediately hugged Claire and covered her with his cloak.
Claire was also startled, but her eyes became fascinated, as she greedily hugged him.
A moment later, the heat wave disappeared, Lathel breathed a sigh of relief, and he let go of Claire.
He looked into the distance, then said: “Claire, stay here, don’t go anywhere.”
Claire wanted to say something, but Lathel had already left. She pursed her lips, bowed her head, and, after a moment, said in a low voice: “Please be safe…”
…
Lathel ran to the battle area and saw a horrifying scene.
The Fire Drake had destroyed the magic that sealed it, and the chains wrapped around its body were also melted by the fire.
The other employees were lying on the ground. Lathel didn’t know if they were still alive or not.
The other contestants wanted to run, but they couldn’t run away as the entire area was surrounded by a wall of fire. So it was impossible to retreat or move forward.
In the distance, Moharo, the old man who gave the speech and managed the first round, was swinging his magic staff.
The tip of the magic staff emitted a dazzling light, and magic circles appeared, forming a protective dome around him.
“Damn it!” Moharo shouted softly: “What the hell is this monster? Even if you attack its eyes, it won’t cause any damage.”
“Even my sealing magic was melted by its fire. Even without the high-level sealing magic, I wouldn’t be able to defeat it easily.”
At this moment, the fire Drake saw Moharo and immediately rushed towards him, headbutting the protective dome.
BAM!
The protective dome vibrated, and then countless cracks appeared on it like a glass pane.
“Ah!” Moharo said desperately: “Maybe I can’t have a peaceful life after retirement.”
Crack!
BANG!
The protective dome shattered into countless fragments, and those fragments turned into countless particles of light that disappeared.
The Fire Drake stood in front of Moharo, its red eyes focused on him. It opened its mouth, and a ball of fire carrying a terrible temperature appeared in its mouth.
Whosh!
The sound of howling wind rang out, as the fireball flew towards Moharo, but he no longer had the strength to run away or avoid it.
He looked at the fireball getting closer and closer, and he felt at peace.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him and shouted.
“Gondori!”
