Guild Boss's Ambition

The first things to reach out to me were its two spidery forearms.

I didn't avoid them and caught them. Their sharp edges immediately made a violent creaking sound when rubbing against the Holy Shield.

In a matter of seconds, they would pierce the shield and cut off my hand.

But──

A few seconds was still too much.

I grabbed its two forearms, stepped hard on its insect head with my feet and pushed it back. Its forearms left its body with dark green blood, and the intense pain caused its body to twitch uncontrollably and there was a burst of wild frenzy. But don't worry, its pain will not last too long. I am not the kind of hunter who will torture my prey.

"Well, go to hell, bug."

The spider monster, which had lost both arms, had lost its optimal balance. Its movements were extremely impulsive, without the patience and precise judgment that a predator should have. I sneered and, in a transition from offense to defense, twisted the right arm of the human's upper body, causing both its lower and upper body to let out heart-wrenching roars from the pain in their limbs.

Yes.

Its fate of death is already determined, not because it is too weak, but because it is weaker than me.

So, I picked up the broken cross sword on the ground and decided to put an end to it.

"We need to end this battle quickly..."

"otherwise……"

"The most primitive beast is about to come out..."

I adjusted my mental state, trying not to let the already shaken and distorted emotions expand further. In my distant teenage years, I had a direct contact with the essence of that voice. It was a very bad experience. I paid a huge price for it at the time, and many bad things happened to me. At this critical moment, I must not repeat the same mistakes.

"Concentrate your mind and use reason to control your power..."

"Remember! Raftan!"

"You just want to draw power from the bloodline, not to assimilate with the beast..."

"Look! Raftan!"

"Though your sword was broken by the beast, the sword of mercy remains intact..."

"That beast has caused too much unnecessary suffering, Raftan! You must put an end to this unnecessary evil as soon as possible."

I talked to myself, trying to eliminate the violence in my heart through words. I also talked to myself because I didn't have enough confidence to complete this difficult mission. After all, truly strong people never need to hypnotize themselves with words. If things are obviously within their capabilities, then it is just a matter of effort.

But luckily, I didn't fail this time.

At least it wasn't a complete failure.

I held the broken sword tightly, and under my guidance, a brand new blade extended from the broken end of the sword. It was a magical elemental material created on the basis of the Holy Shield. It was not harder than steel, but sharp enough to easily cut human flesh. This application method was a new technique I came up with after the last battle between me and Ehard.

Using this new technique, the broken sword in my hand became even longer than before──

"Roar!"

The monster pounced and bit me.

The translucent light penetrated his chest, and then went all the way down, cutting off his body.

Maybe, I liberated them.

Maybe I just added to the killing.

……

75. Only fools would care about translation (Xuan Xun)

(Xuan Xun)

As a magician myself, I can understand how dire Tielu's current situation is.

After being hit hard by Master Jacob, he is now just a spent force.

Even though he is a legendary magician and a high elf with extremely high elemental affinity, his total magic power is not actually much higher than that of a half-dragon like me. But compared to me, he is proficient in more than twice as many magic spells, and his techniques in casting each spell are more delicate and efficient. The most admirable thing is that he has many excellent original spells.

However, now is not the right time to admire others.

I must defeat this high elf magician as soon as possible and then go to help Miss Lannong.

In this melee, everyone found their own opponent.

At this time, the one who fought against Tielu together with me was Bai Ye's transformed dog Xiaoban.

If it weren't for Bai Ye's modified dog to help me, I would probably have died at the hands of Tielu.

Although I hate Bai Ye myself, I don't hate her pet dog. In the fight against the high elf Tieru, the little dog showed great bravery and fighting spirit. Not only did it force Tieru to have no spare time to chant stronger advanced spells, it even used its body to block many attacks for me.

Xiaoban bought me a lot of time to chant magic.

"Frozen Dragon Breath—"

After much difficulty, after the modified dog was covered in wounds from the natural magic, I finally succeeded in launching the first relatively threatening attack on the agile Tielu.

The dragon's breath composed of sixteen high-level dragon language spells instantly erupted and attacked the male high elf in the distance. The high elf was well prepared and used the arcane shield as a response to block the cold flames of the dragon's breath!

but!

His arcane shield could only block the cold current, but could not hinder the invisible dragon's breath!

Immediately! His sensitive figure was frozen on the spot by my dragon breath!

The modified dog, which had been attacking without stopping for a moment, was also very competitive. It seized this precious opportunity without any suspense and slapped the slender Tielu away with one claw. Unfortunately, this attack did not kill the tough guy on the spot. With a breath left, he immediately used magic to heal 40% of his injuries.

The reason why he only healed 40% was not because he had no ability, but because he was retaining his limited magic power.

For a magician, physical qualities are not of much help in combat.

The most important thing is to make sure your mouth can move when you chant, and to have sharp ears and eyes when observing the environment. The second most important thing is to have enough strength in your hands to hold the scepter that has the effect of enhancing the power of the spell...

As for the feet used for running? That is a relatively minor factor.

Because compared to dodging, magic shield defense is often the most effective way to reduce enemy damage. If I have to choose between the two, I would rather cast one more cold shield than use my legs.

However, Tieru did not make the same choice as most magicians.

He used up his limited magic power to heal his feet.

This is because he knew very well that his remaining magic power was not enough to defeat me and Xiaoban.

For them, the current situation is to delay as long as possible. If they are blessed by the goddess of luck, they may be able to wait until their high elf companions leave the Tree of Life. However, based on my understanding of the perverted thugs at the Tree of Life, the probability of his six high elf companions coming out alive is less than 20%...

Zizi!

Sizzle, sizzle—

I was secretly analyzing the situation at hand, and Tieru over there struck me with two B-level lightning bolts.

Even though the situation on our side seems to be subtly leaning towards me, we still cannot be careless in actual operations. If we are careless, we may be found by Tielu and the situation will be reversed. And if we lose our side unexpectedly, the vacant Tielu will break the balance of the rest of the battlefield, and then we will lose everything──

"Can't make any mistakes..."

"I want to protect everyone..."

Ice shield!

I gritted my teeth and mobilized my magic power to block the lightning with a shield. I chanted the spell of Freezing Dragon's Breath again, intending to use the same trick again.

But at this decisive moment, new problems emerged.

After enduring Tielu's magical attacks for a long time, the transformed dog Xiaoban finally showed obvious signs of fatigue.

Even though the modified dog's anti-magic ability was incredibly high, Tielu's attacks were all intelligent and targeted, always focusing on the joints of Xiaoban's right forelimb. Even though I had provided comprehensive protection for the modified dog everywhere, in the end Tielu still ate away a wound deep enough to see the bone on the modified dog's joints.

Affected by the injury to his forelimbs, Xiaoban's movements had slowed down significantly.

And relying on the natural flexibility of the high elves, Tieru kept jumping around the modified dog like the most troublesome flea. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the small spot had lost its restraining effect at this time. And just when I chanted the spell of Freezing Dragon's Breath to the twelfth section, Tieru also fired a fireball at me head-on, forcing me to temporarily interrupt the spell.

Ice shield!

Boom──

The flames and ice collided violently, causing white mist to rise.

"No, without Xiaoban's restraint, the blind chanting will be easily interrupted by the opponent..."

"Damn it... high-powered magic that takes a long time to chant won't work?"

"Shall we use a small magic trick to decide the outcome?"

"In terms of mana consumption, isn't this playing into the enemy's hands?"

Roar!

While he was worrying and thinking, the modified dog in front of him let out another angry roar, which was the cry of a beast after being injured.

Another lightning magic hit its right joint.

No! We must change our strategy!

If I continue with my original strategy and blindly use the modified dog as my own meat shield, then if my chanting fails twice more, Tieru will break its entire joint in one fell swoop.

With no other options, I could only give up the idea of ​​defeating the opponent as quickly as possible and instead adopt another combat strategy with higher cover, using various instantaneous magic to restrict Tieru's actions. In this way, I could reserve the spell of Ice Shield at any time and anywhere to prevent Xiaoban's right forelimb joints from being damaged further during his mistakes.

After I changed my strategy, the amount of attacks that Xiaoban endured was immediately reduced significantly, but instead, Tielu's magic power also gradually showed signs of recovering. The main reason was that he no longer needed to dodge and defend against Xiaoban's attacks while casting attack magic to interrupt my spellcasting.

His job suddenly became much easier once I stopped casting big, threatening spells.

All he had to do was escape, defend, contain and store magic power.

The course of action for Xiaoban and I is to knock him down and prevent him from accumulating too much magic power.

Comparing the two, after I changed the battle strategy, the one who benefited was the seriously injured Tielu. If his magic power reserves continue to increase, he will recover to his best physical condition sooner or later. In other words, the balance of victory is slowly tilting towards him. If he does not make the necessary choice, defeat will be the inevitable outcome.

"There are only two options left..."

"One is to sacrifice Xiaoban, and the other is to sacrifice myself..."

In order to win quickly, I became aware of this.

I stopped chasing and started chanting the sixteen verses of the spell again.

"Dragon, 'mè oa ka, mamela lentsoe la ka."

(Yuanlong, my mother, please listen to my voice.)

"Ice, tsimoloho ea ka, ka kōpo araba thato ea ka."

(Ice, my origin, please respond to my will.)

"La'u pele, faamolemole, aumai ia te au le malosi."

(Dear, please give me strength.)

“Tuu atu i le lalolagi i lalo o le mamalu o le kiona…

(Let the world snow with glory.)

“Tuu atu i le lalolagi manatua le faiga tarako…”

(Let the world remember the demeanor of the dragon.)

The so-called sixteen-section spell is a rhythmic language composed of sixteen measures, one measure is a four-beat, and the sixteen-section spell has a total of sixty-four beats. This is an extremely long chanting time, enough for the stupid Xiao Xixi Wild Deer to slowly finish a whole bowl of instant noodles, but time and power are relative. This Quick Frozen Dragon Breath is an A-level destructive magic with tracking characteristics.

Even though he is a legendary warrior, Tiruye cannot ignore the power of the dragon's breath.

What's more, I have just succeeded once.

Sure enough, when I sang the tenth bar, Tiruye also made a move.

It was a fireball.

Along with the normal legendary fireball, Tiruye actively suppressed the magic strength of the fireball in order to conserve his magic power, leaving it only strong enough to restrain me, but he underestimated my awareness and the stubbornness of the half-dragons.

Xiong Long──

The flames of nature surrounded my body, singeing my hair, skin, and scales—

For the first time in my life, I felt the pain of being burned by flames.

This fire is so deadly that it makes me want to yell to the sky──

But the dignity of a dragon taught me to endure the voice of the weak—

I just continued the unfinished chant.

Thinking of repaying one's debt with another, blood with blood.
