Hearing that, Lathel took a deep breath to calm himself, but deep down, he was still frightened.
“Can levelling up also help it recover?” Lathel asked confusedly.
Cauldron replied: “That’s right. To be more precise… This is like the shedding of a butterfly. It has shed its old body to receive a new, stronger, and more terrifying body.
Lathel struggled to stand up, then he took out a small ceramic vase from the system’s storage space.
He poured out the porcelain bottle, inside were four high-grade energy pills. Of course, he did not hesitate, as he immediately swallowed all four pills.
Immediately after, a stream of energy, like a stream of warm water, ran through his body, making him feel comfortable.
However, only his magical energy was replenished, his physical strength had not recovered much.
“Cauldron, can you still attack it?”
“Sorry, Lathel, I can only help you one more time. However, I’m afraid I won’t be able to deal too much damage to it this time.” Cauldron also felt a little worried about Lathel.
After all, Cauldron is just a cauldron. If he is in danger, he just needs to shrink his body and then bury himself in the sand.
But Lathel is different, he does not have the same abilities as Cauldron, nor does he have enough strength to confront the Fire Drake.
“Lathel, it can be said… Your mortality rate right now is 99%.”
Hearing Cauldron speak, Lathel sighed and smiled desperately: “Ah! It seems… I can’t realise my dream either.”
“Your dream?”
“Uhm! A harem with many beauties, hahaha… How funny, right?” Lathel laughed at himself.
The Fire Drake was now on its feet, it didn’t create a wall of fire or anything that could imprison Lathel because… That wasn’t necessary.
Would a giant build a fence to surround an ant? No, that’s nonsense.
Lathel frowned, Lightning elemental energy surrounded his feet, then he stomped on the ground.
BAM!
Dust and sand flew up, obscuring Lathel’s body.
The Fire Drake glanced at the smoke and dust with contempt in its eyes. It opened its mouth and blew out a heat wave that brought with it terrible temperatures.
That heat wave cleared away the smoke and dust, but Lathel was still not visible. It looked around and felt something was wrong, so it bowed its head and opened its mouth.
The scales on its back began to stand up, emitting a weak yellow light like a kind of engine.
In its mouth, a small flame appeared. Although small, the aura it emitted was extremely dazzling, like a mini-sun.
At this moment, that spark of fire disintegrated into countless particles of light. Those lights then burned again and spewed out an extremely terrifying stream of flames.
…
In the distance, the student staff saw the wall of fire disappear and were startled.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know; it seems like the firewall disappeared on its own.”
“Could it be… that young man defeated the Fire Drake.”
“Impossible. If he can defeat the Fire Drake, then what are we? Are we useless potatoes?”
“That’s right. I think that the Fire Drake killed that boy, so it retracted that wall of fire.”
Hearing that, Moharo was startled and shouted: “Don’t talk nonsense, hurry up, go inside, and save the young man.”
Everyone heard that and remained silent, however, their faces showed a bit of discomfort.
Anyway, everyone thought that Lathel was definitely dead, so why bother going inside and risking their lives to find him?
Perhaps… Lathel had even been burned into a mass of cinders.
Moharo was also desperate; in his heart, he also thought that Lathel was dead; however, he still retained 0.0001% hope that Lathel was still alive.
Everyone was entering the forest when suddenly Moharo felt something and immediately shouted: “Stop! Get back quickly!”
Everyone also realised that something extremely terrible was approaching.
A beam of light flashed deep inside the forest and spread towards them at the speed of a tsunami.
“Fire! It’s a wave of fire!”
“Run away!”
“Hurry up!”
Moharo saw a wave of fire that was more than three metres high. Wherever it passed, everything was engulfed in flames and burned to ashes.
He gritted his teeth, right now, his will to survive was higher than his desire to save Lathel.
Moharo turned around and ran away. After running three steps, he turned around and looked towards that terrible wave of fire.
Finally, he shook his head and ran away with the other employees. 𝑖.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Luckily, that fire wave didn’t last too long, it spread for another hundred metres and then slowly disappeared. However, it left behind a coal field that made everyone shiver in fear.
“It’s terrible, this fire is even more powerful than the wall of fire.”
“Look at those stones; they are still red, which means the temperature is extremely high.”
“Could it be that when it fought us, that monster still hadn’t used its full power?”
Hearing what that person said, everyone shivered as their spines went cold.
“I think we should retreat. Anyway, almost all the contestants have withdrawn.”
“That’s right. If there’s anyone else stuck in this place, then that person is unlucky.”
“Okay, let’s go; I don’t want to turn into a piece of coal.”
Moharo looked into the distance. He felt so hopeless that his face seemed to have aged by 10 years.
He shook his head, then left with the other employees while thinking about how he should write his will.
…
Crack!
Crack!
Underneath the soil, a cauldron rose, then slowly shrank, revealing Lathel inside.
He originally intended to use the skill ‘Camouflage’ to escape from this place. But the Fire Drake’s previous wave of fire burned this entire forest along with his hope.
Although the Fire Drake is a monster, its intelligence cannot be underestimated.
Even its combat IQ is many times better than Lathel’s.
If it can’t find Lathel, it just needs to use a skill with a huge area of effect, like the fire wave from before.
No matter what Lathel disguises himself as, he will be burned into a pile of ashes.
Luckily, Cauldron was able to protect him this time. However, now that Cauldron has fallen into hibernation, Lathel needs to rely on himself.
The Fire Drake saw Lathel appear, and it looked at him with disdain.
Lathel was not angry, he just frowned, while silently speaking to Anna: “Anna, if I die, you should leave and find another owner.”
“Okay, stop talking nonsense.” Anna said.
Lathel clasped his hands together, and the lightning and fire elemental energy surrounding his body became even stronger.
He turned his head, bent his body, and stomped hard on the ground, causing the ash below to shoot up.
BAM!
Lathel’s body shot into the distance like an arrow, and he used all his strength to run away. From a distance, Lathel resembled a white-red lightning bolt rushing in the opposite direction of the Fire Drake.
The Fire Drake did not rush to act, it opened its mouth, and a strange magic circle appeared in front of its mouth.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
Four consecutive explosions rang out, and fireballs containing destructive flames and blazing heat flew out of that magic circle.
They quickly flew towards Lathel at even higher speeds. Seeing this, Lathel gritted his teeth, his heartbeat accelerated, and his eyes were as red as blood.
Right now, Lathel felt as if his physical strength was slowly recovering, but a feeling also came with that.
It’s a feeling of bloodlust.
‘No OK! Could it be that the blood contract between me and Charlotte is gradually fading?’
Lathel gritted his teeth, right now he was like a person walking on a thin sheet of ice, and a small crack was enough for him to face death.
While being chased by the Fire Drake, he also had to face his own bloodlust.
Lathel tried to accelerate, but no matter how fast he was, there was still a limit, as his level was still only level 20.
As the four fireballs rushed towards Lathel, he quickly changed direction.
But, those four fireballs seemed to have tracking devices as they immediately changed direction, and rushed towards him.
Lathel was startled, and he couldn’t believe how incredible the fireballs were.
Since he couldn’t dodge, he clasped his hands together, and a magic circle appeared.
“Anna!!!” Lathel shouted, and a fiery snake rushed out of the magic circle, went towards the four fireballs, and entangled them.
BAM!
A terrible explosion rang out, and the shock wave sent Lathel flying away. .
He rolled on the ground for a while before hitting a large rock, which stopped him.
However, Lathel gritted his teeth; he couldn’t hold back anymore, so he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned a little pale.
“Damn it!” He silently scolded: “My energy hasn’t recovered much, my physical strength is almost exhausted.”
Lathel felt desperate, he slowly stood up and clenched his fists.
The flow of lightning and fire elemental energy that surrounded his body gradually disappeared.
Instead, the energy was concentrated in his two fists. His right hand was surrounded by white energy, which was emitting sparks.
While his left hand was surrounded by red energy that was crackling, this made it look like it was being burned by a crazy red flame.
“Lightning Dragon!”
“Anna!”
Lathel shouted, and immediately after that, two roars that echoed throughout the entire space rang out.
GRAOOO!!!
GRAOO!!!
A huge stream of energy erupted from his body, forming the head of the lightning dragon. The head was more than three metres tall, with two burning red flames for its eyes.
Around the dragon’s head were countless red veins, like tiny rivers of lava.
The Thunder Dragon’s head enveloped Lathel’s body inside, but his body was also suffering extremely terrible pressure, as if there were a large mountain pressing on his back.
The magical energy was overactive, and his body was unable to withstand this energy flow.
His heart was beating as fast as a drum, and he could also feel his blood vessels working at full capacity.
He gritted his teeth, trying to control the pain, but his blood vessels emerged from behind his skin like tree roots.
Fire Drake also started to get a little worried when he saw that dragon head. It opened its mouth, and a giant magic circle appeared in front of its mouth.
At this moment, its scales also stood up, emitting a yellow aura. That aura was like countless streams connecting its scales to its mouth.
The magic circle in front of its mouth also emitted a dazzling red and yellow aura.
Lathel didn’t care anymore, he gritted his teeth and waved his hand: “This is my last move. If it doesn’t die, then I die.”
“Anna, if I fail, please leave my body before I die.”
“I told you, don’t say nonsense.” Anna spoke up, annoyed.
Lathel felt a little happy. Previously, he and Anna didn’t get along, but now he is no longer lonely.
“So…”
“Divine Dragon…”
“Descend!”
