Chapter 401: Scene 118 Final Battle (6) (Part 3, complete) _2
Brand nodded.
“I’ll go with you,” Qian suddenly replied, clutching her war-hamr and staring intently at the gigantic creature in front of them—though it appeared to be lifeless at the mont, motionless, and devoid of any breath. Yet, all three of them understood that the mont they moved, the creature would instantly launch an attack: “If you die, neither disha nor I are confident in dealing with this monster. To protect what’s left of the Gray Wolf rcenary Group, Lord, your life is my life—”
Brand was taken aback.
“Miss Qian is right, Lord,” disha also responded, softly persuading: “Without this monster, even if I am alone, Conrad isn’t my match—Wizard Hunter, I have fought many such opponents among the Miner people.”
“Alright,” the young man knew this was no ti for argunt, besides with Qian’s help their chances indeed improved. He drew the second card of the day from his bosom: “Let’s split up and take action.”
Saying this, Brand revealed the card—
Silver Foal
(Legendary Radiance V, White)
Mana 10
[Treasure – Artifact/Divine Artifact Creature, Level 7 Constructed Creature]
The Silver Foal possesses floating ability.
‘Secret Silver Crafted—’
As soon as the Destiny Card appeared in the air, it quickly ford an array on the forest floor. White light flickered within the array, accompanied by the long neigh of a warhorse.
His action imdiately provoked the Earth Envoy Eckn’s counterattack—Conrad was no fool, fearing that the brainless insect envoy would be led away with a diversionary tactic, he had it stay put with orders to attack anyone trying to bypass it to pursue him.
And magic was one of the conditions.
The mont it moved, Qian and disha simultaneously charged from the left and the right. The war-hamr and the spear clashed together with a ‘click,’ blocking the creature’s attack. Although both girls were only at Lower Gold strength, Qian, also an envoy, resonated with the Thunder Elent, while disha, as a ghostly body, had comprehended the Soul Elent. The interweaving of these elents barely managed to fend off Eckn’s strike.
Even so, both girls grunted while retreating three or four steps before stabilizing themselves.
At this mont, the white light in front of Brand had faded, and a Secret Silver Warhorse glowing with tallic brilliance and sporting wings stepped out of the array. Its ruby-embellished eyes glanced at Brand, then imdiately lowered its head in submission.
The red-haired girl was montarily stunned upon seeing this creature, but soon understood Brand’s intent.
“Qian, mount up!” the young man commanded, “disha, cover us—!”
The Earth Envoy was preparing to launch another attack, but was forced back by the Silver Elf Princess’s Spirit Gun. Though disha’s skill had a long cooldown ti, its attack power was terrifying, even Eckn didn’t dare to take on this human-shaped cannon’s strike head-on.
Seizing the opportunity, Qian mounted the horse and extended a hand to pull Brand up. Sharing the sa mount made her slightly embarrassed, but she took a breath and quickly cald herself.
“Circle around behind it, this brainless creature is dead-set on its orders. We need to draw its attention first,” Brand whispered behind her, then instructed disha, “Stay where you are, disha, and act after we’ve left—”
“Understood.” disha nodded.
By then, Qian had already driven the warhorse forward. The Secret Silver Warhorse took off, flying right over the creature’s head. Not only that, she drew the hand crossbow from her boots and fired an arrow.
Her action imdiately provoked Eckn’s retaliation.
The huge insect-like BOSS raised its head and roared, pressing one hand to the ground. A twenty-ter-long rocky spike erged from the earth, chasing after Qian and Brand.
Qian snorted coldly, urging the warhorse higher. Rocky spikes pursued them, erupting one after another from the ground, each higher than the last, the final spike piercing the sky at nearly fifty ters. The forest fell silent, the dense stone spikes forming a forest of towering spires.
As the Earth Envoy’s hand left the ground, the spikes crumbled instantly. It growled lowly at the receding warhorse, then lted into the ground.
disha saw this as the final act.
Having witnessed the creature erging from the earth to ambush Brand, she knew it intended to repeat its tactic and chase them down. Relieved, she surveyed her surroundings, recalling the direction of Conrad’s escape, then patted her unicorn companion’s neck, urging it to give chase.
…
In mid-air, Brand naturally saw this scene.
He imdiately told Qian to lower their altitude, knowing the insect lacked intelligence but possessed animal instincts—it wouldn’t incessantly pursue an impossible prey. In the past ga, monster luring required skill, and this world was no different.
He had to give the creature hope.
The Secret Silver Warhorse, under the red-haired girl’s control, descended and slowed. This didn’t an they were off guard; Brand kept a wary eye on the ground.
“What do we do next?” Qian asked.
“Lead it back,” Brand replied quietly, “preferably to where we fought yesterday. According to plan, Nanis and the others should co to support us after dealing with the lizardn.”
“Do you think we can hold out until then?” she asked.
“That depends on our skill and a bit of luck.”
Qian fell silent but suddenly swept out her war-hamr, sending a lightning arc through dozens of ters to strike the ground amid a cluster of black pines.
There was an explosion as the gigantic BOSS erupted from the earth.
“Keep to zigzags and don’t touch the ground,” Brand imdiately ordered, “hand the crossbow—”
The red-haired girl nodded.
The Secret Silver Warhorse veered, narrowly evading a sharp rock projectile. Brand wiped cold sweat from his forehead, thankful for Qian’s quick reflexes that kept them from being thrown off.
But he knew this dangerous ga had only just begun.
