Above the clouds, at a distance that no one could reach and where sight could not touch, two beings floated gently as if gravity did not exist. The whole world seemed to submit to these two existences as if they were legendary gods that mankind has worshipped since time immemorial.
One of them was small, only about twenty centimeters long. Her tiny body was covered by a pretty white dress and behind her slender back, there was surprisingly a pair of transparent wings almost invisible to the naked eye. However, although her body was small, this being had an extremely beautiful face.
The other being next to the little girl was an adult woman. Her body was covered by a dress as yellow as the sun in spring and except for her two perfect naked hands, nothing of her skin could be seen since a veil covered her face completely.
“Oh! That person is using that strange skill again!” The small figure exclaimed and clapped her hands happily. However, soon her beautiful face was filled with confusion as she tilted her little head to the side and said uncomprehendingly, “But… But, why does he only have one strange green flame? Master said he should have seven of those?”
“It’s still too early.” The yellow-clad woman explained slowly. Her voice sounded as soft as the sound of river water moving through the rocks slowly and was extremely pleasant to listen to. Even the slightest gesture of a hand from her was charming and elegant to the max, so much so that even the most highly educated woman with the best status in the world would not be able to compare with her.
“When the time is right, he will be able to unite the seven elements to regain his Divinity of Destruction.” The woman in yellow continued, “But it will still be a while before that happens…”
“Oh…” The small figure nodded and her eyes shone with understanding.
They were both silents for about ten seconds and when the Abyssal Dragon’s health bar had reached eighty million, the small figure said cheerfully, “Master, master! At this rate, that giant dragon will be killed by them! As one of the people who helped the most and inflicted a great deal of damage, he will undoubtedly benefit a lot!”
However, to the small figure’s surprise, the beautiful woman dressed in yellow gently shook her head, making the bells that adorned her veil tinkle very slightly.
“It’s a pity… But that won’t happen.”
“Uh? But…” The small figure surveyed the scene beneath the clouds in confusion. She could clearly see that that huge dragon was at the end of the line… So, she didn’t understand how her master said it wasn’t possible.
“It’s a pity… But at the same time, it makes me happy.”
To the small figure’s surprise and disbelief, the woman whispered.
“Eh?… Master, do you feel happy?!” The small figure exclaimed noisily and her eyes sparkled like gems. It had been several years since the last time her master had been happy about something, so even if the giant dragon didn’t die she felt that such a thing was no longer so important.
Unfortunately she could not see her master’s face to confirm whether she was smiling or not.
“That’s right… Although I feel sad that his efforts are in vain, I feel happy because I know that what he will do soon is one of the reasons why he is he.” The woman in yellow whispered again in a voice laden with complicated emotions that probably no being in this world would ever be able to comprehend.
Her shoulders were extremely slender and her back was so smooth… But the burdens she carried on her body were so great that no one was capable of imagining.
* * *
Xie Feng felt ecstatic to say the least!
The mighty Abyssal Dragon was being brutally beaten by King Hu Yi’s furious attacks, the soldiers had started attacking again, and the earth mages were taking care of keeping the beast firmly on the ground… Even the other players who contributed practically nothing were striving to cause at least a scratch capable of changing the gloomy future.
-21.665! (Critical Hit!)… -21.662! (Critical Hit!)… -21.675! (Critical Hit!)…
-21.665! (Critical Hit!)… -21.665! (Critical Hit!)… -21.666! (Critical Hit!)…
…
Enveloped by a jade green flame, Xie Feng stabbed his spear into the head of the mighty Saint grade boss at an absurd speed.
22 attacks in a single second! Such attack speed coupled with his high stats accuracy was simply any enemy’s nightmare!
Since Xie Feng and the rest did not know how much health the Abyssal Dragon currently had, they all had no choice but to make an approximation. However, they were all certain that the beast still possessed approximately eighty million health points which were decreasing at astonishing speeds with each passing second.
Xie Feng, not wishing for strange things to happen, decided to use the Ring of the God of Destruction’s power immediately. However, even without stopping stabbing with his spear, lightning shot out from the ring in his right hand and shot down the tip of the Calamity Spear, fiercely hitting the beast!
-50,000.000
The beast roared in pain and writhed ferociously on the ground after taking damage of that magnitude. In the process, unfortunate players and soldiers of the NPC army were crushed to death in a second… If it wasn’t thanks to this world’s system blocking blood, the battlefield would have become an absolute hell at this point.
However, instead of fear in the face of death, the Abyssal Dragon’s previously golden eyes had now turned blood red.
Suddenly and without warning a big, invisible shock wave shot out from the Abyssal Dragon’s body, and over fifty thousand players were slaughtered while many NPC soldiers lost much of their health bars.
Even Ling Long came close to death and was forced to retreat.
Seeing this, Xie Feng’s face changed.
Indeed, having lost the hold of Ling Long’s Explosive Fist, the Abyssal Dragon opened its mouth wide and launched a storm of bright energy towards the crowd.
When Xie Feng saw the direction of the attack, he didn’t even think about it as he jumped off the monster’s head, surrendering the only chance of victory.
At this point, there was really no more hope.
