Just as Shipley was on the verge of death, a huge ball of fire came crashing toward the Dragon from the other side.
“Julie!”
Shipley saw that the one who had cast the spell was his close friend.
She was a woman who had once fallen for him, but he had disappointed her by devoting himself wholeheartedly to the study of magic.
“Shipley, you saved my life twice. I’ve always wanted to do something for you.” Julie turned to look at Shipley and gave him a Lightly Smile.
At that moment, another Huge earth spike shot toward the Dragon.
Another Mage Appear.
“Orens!”
Shipley looked toward another one of his close friends.
“Didn’t you leave just now?” Shipley asked.
He was angry. Why had Orens returned after leaving?
“My life is more important than a commoner’s, but your life is more important than mine.”
“Shipley, we used to form a team together, and you were always our hero. Today, I want to be your hero for once, too.” With a wave of his hand, Orens sent several more earth spikes shooting toward the Dragon.
His attitude was calm, as if he no longer cared about Life or death.
Perhaps some people and some things were more important than one’s own Life.
After he finished speaking, the people who had already left began to Appear one after another. When one gains help, one receives help; when one loses the support of others, one receives little help. Shipley had helped them in the past, and now that he had encountered danger, they likewise chose not to abandon him and leave.
Instead, they chose to stand up and fight.
As everyone attacked together, countless spells and sword energy bombarded the Dragon’s body.
Brilliant multicolored light exploded across the Dragon’s body.
Roar!
The Dragon roared furiously.
These Ants actually dared to attack it. They were simply tired of living.
The Dragon’s roar, accompanied by Dragon Might, spread across the entire battlefield. The roar carried an intense Deterrence effect, instantly immobilizing several nearby people. With a Dragon Tail Sweep, it sent all those Mages and Swordsmen flying.
While still in midair, they were already vomiting Blood and suffering severe injuries.
Crack.
It opened its bloody maw and bit off half of a Swordsman’s body.
Then it stomped another Mage into a puddle of flesh.
The remaining few people quickly regained consciousness and tried to flee, but the Dragon spewed Dragon Flame, engulfing them.
The scorching lava melted them.
Screams rang out without end.
Several people were burned to death alive.
“Losa! Uliji! Veronica! Simon!” Looking at those who had died because of him, Shipley’s eyes reddened.
It did not matter if he died himself, but he could not watch helplessly as his friends died for his sake.
“Hear my summons, Water's Profound Meaning, Water Dragon Bullet!”
Blue light appeared across Shipley’s Entire Body as he Used Water's Profound Meaning beyond his limits.
As he Used the spell, the water element between Heaven and Earth rapidly gathered, instantly transforming into a Huge water dragon. The water dragon was a full meter thick. It raised its head and charged toward the Dragon.
After using this move, Shipley panted heavily. Unable to maintain himself, he fell to his knees.
He saw his Water Dragon Bullet charging toward the Dragon.
It had to severely injure the Dragon.
He prayed inwardly.
The Water Dragon Bullet soon slammed into the Dragon’s body. The fierce impact exploded across the Dragon, followed by an extreme freezing force that spread across its Entire Body.
The Dragon in the sky was frozen solid in an instant and stopped moving.
The Dragon’s body first froze in place, then fell downward.
“Wonderful!” Shipley was extremely excited.
However, this situation lasted for less than a second. Accompanied by a deafening roar, all the ice on the Dragon’s body shattered and shot in every direction. Shipley’s overused Water Dragon Bullet, formed from Water's Profound Meaning, had not injured it at all. It looked furiously at Shipley, then opened its mouth and spewed Dragon Flame.
Seeing that the Dragon Flame was about to hit Shipley, Shipley prepared himself to die as well and closed his eyes.
“Shipley.”
“Teacher!”
Countless pairs of eyes watched this despairing scene.
Just then, a phantom flashed past. Then, the Dragon seemed to be struck by a meteor. Its entire huge body was sent flying backward, crossing several hundred meters before crashing directly into the collapsed city wall.
The Dragon Flame that had originally been aimed at Shipley scattered through the air.
The Dragon smashed through the city wall and fell into the ruins, motionless.
A large amount of Golden Yellow Blood flowed from the ruins, staining a large patch of Earth God Golden Yellow.
Only then did the people see clearly what the phantom had been.
It was a person.
A handsome man.
At that moment, the man was standing in midair in front of Shipley.
“It’s Li Zhen. He’s here!”
Kaister, who was watching from a distance, danced about excitedly.
Li Zhen is so Powerful. He sent the Dragon flying as soon as he arrived.
Is this the power of Level four?
When I reach Level four, will I be as Powerful as him?
Kaister yearned inwardly.
That’s right, the one who had come was Li Zhen.
He had received a Message from the System in the forest. Strictly speaking, it was a Message from Kaister.
Kaister wanted Li Zhen’s help.
According to the System’s Rule, if Kaister wanted to ask Li Zhen, who was now Level four, to take action, he had to pay four Origin Points.
But Kaister only had two Origin Points and still wanted Li Zhen to act.
【Choose to accept, and receive 2 Origin Points】
Of course, Li Zhen could refuse.
But why would he refuse?
He could treat it as a friendship price.
Thus, after seeing the image, Li Zhen chose to come provide support.
And that was how the scene just now had come about.
“Thank you.”
Shipley shakily stood up and bowed deeply to Li Zhen.
Although he did not know who Li Zhen was, Li Zhen had just saved him.
His first reaction was to assume that Li Zhen was a Saint-level expert sent from the imperial capital to provide reinforcements.
“If you want to thank someone, thank Kaister. He paid a hefty price to ask me to come save you,” Li Zhen replied.
Two Origin Points truly counted as a hefty price.
Every Origin Point was a priceless treasure.
“Kaister?”
Li Zhen’s words left Shipley somewhat stunned.
Did his newly accepted student really have such great abilities?
Just then, the ruins of the city wall, which had been silent until now, stirred. The Dragon staggered out of the ruins.
It looked extremely battered. Its Huge head was caved in, and Golden Yellow Blood continuously flowed from the deep crater.
“Hmm, you’re up?”
Li Zhen looked toward the Dragon.
Naturally, he had held back just now and had not Used his full strength.
It was rare to find such a good Experiment Partner. Beating it to death too early would make things less fun.
Li Zhen slowly flew toward the Dragon.
“Please be careful,” Shipley reminded him.
Li Zhen gave him a confident look.
The Dragon had taken a casual punch from Li Zhen. Although it could still stand, it was swaying unsteadily.
Seeing Li Zhen fly over, a trace of fear unconsciously appeared in its eyes.
As a member of the Dragon race, its Scales naturally possessed a Magic Barrier that could nullify most magical and physical attacks.
But Li Zhen was simply too Powerful.
Although its Magic Barrier had dispersed most of the force under such powerful strength, the remaining force had entered its body and Still left it severely injured.
Moreover, Li Zhen’s speed was far too fast—so fast that it had been unable to react just now.
In its eyes, Li Zhen was surely a super expert among the Human race.
Roar~
It gave Li Zhen a low growl, its voice carrying a threatening tone. Yet its body slowly began to retreat before it flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
The Dragon wanted to escape.
Li Zhen did not stop it. His body Flickered, and he flew above its Huge body before landing on its Scales.
The Dragon flew through the sky while Li Zhen stood atop its body.
From a distance, they looked just like the awe-inspiring Dragon Knight of legend.
“Gravity.”
At that moment, Li Zhen opened his mouth and said Lightly.
As soon as he spoke, the Dragon instantly felt as if a Huge Mountain Range were pressing down on its body. It could no longer control itself, and its entire body plummeted downward.
