Chapter 98 Chapter 99 Mixed Doubles
Even though the dragon’s life is tenacious and heals quickly, its pride cannot withstand such a blow.
The green dragon, Cailis, drove George back and shouted angrily:
“Human! I can tear you apart without even flying!”
After saying that, she opened her mouth and unleashed a stream of dragon breath towards George. The gray-green dragon breath engulfed George, but the next second, he burst out from the breath, his armor smoking, some parts falling off, and his cloak melting, but he was mostly fine. He pointed the tip of his sword at the chin of green dragon Cailis, his eyes fixed on the scale on her chin.
Cailis had no choice but to stop her breath and hurriedly lifted a claw to shield her fatal weakness at the chin. George jumped up, kicked off her head, landed on her back, and thrust his sword towards the base of her wings.
“Ahhhh!”
Cailis cried out in pain, folded her wings, and rolled around, crashing into a nearby building. George was forced to jump away.
Jima flew down from the city wall, landing beside the blood that Cailis had shed, becoming invisible to observe the battle.
Through the smoke, George was fighting Cailis, who could not take flight. Although the green dragon was among the least proficient in melee combat among dragons, small in size and not very strong, she was still a true dragon, posing a significant threat.
However, Cailis had to protect her fatal weakness while also safeguarding her wings, leaving her only able to take passive hits.
George jumped onto the dragon’s head and thrust his sword into her eye socket, roaring, “This kick is for John!”
After saying that, he harshly kicked the sword, effectively tearing Cailis’s eye in half. The green dragon shrieked in pain, shaking her head and throwing George off. After landing, George lunged again, grabbing her horn and smashing it into the ground, delivering a kick to her forehead, making the green dragon dizzy.
“This kick is for Jima!”
“This sword is for Jenna!”
With both hands, the fine golden giant sword pierced into the base of her wings, causing Cailis to roll on the ground in pain, blood splattering everywhere.
Jima cheered from the side, “Well done!”
Having a capable tool to fight felt great; she didn’t have to dirty her own hands.
Cailis suddenly struck George away, shouting, “Enough!”
George, who crashed through a wall, gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot with rage, gripping his sword and charging again at Cailis from the ruins.
The battered Cailis flapped her wings and flew up, albeit with a limp, each flap causing a drop of dragon blood to fall, eroding the ground into one pit after another.
Despite the exposed bone wounds at the bases of both her wings, she could still fly, showcasing the formidable vitality of dragons.
Cailis declared, “It’s over!”
Jima appeared, bent down, and threw a straw figure into the dragon’s blood on the ground. The straw figure was corroded and turned black, and she cursed forcefully, “Her wings will no longer fly.”
Cailis plummeted from the air, crashing down hard, and before she could lift her head, a bloodied George rushed in front of her, stabbing his sword into her injured eye socket, effectively gouging out her injured dragon eye.
George bellowed, “This is because I must call Mom!”
After that, in anger, he chopped off her teeth with his sword.
“Well…” Jima was about to shout in support when she heard George’s words and put her hands on her hips, saying, “What an unfilial son!”
With one eye blinded, Cailis pushed George back and shouted, “The same curse cannot take effect on me a second time!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed off the ground and flew up again, glaring with hatred at Jima with her left eye, roaring as she dove straight at her.
Jima turned and fled, chugging a potion while running, her legs flailing like wheels, shouting, “Oh no, still able to fly in this condition! Child! Come quickly and save your noble mother!”
George, like a mad dog, charged out again, transforming into a streak of light, appearing on the back of the diving green dragon Cailis. He forcefully drove his sword into the joint of her wing, wedging it into her bones, and the corrosive blood splattered across his face as he roared, “Stop!”
Cailis screamed, her speed slowing as her belly slammed against a rooftop. George clenched his fists tightly, mercilessly hammering the sword’s hilt, driving it deeper and deeper. Even a dragon’s vitality and strong bones must respect the laws of mechanics within a certain range.
The hard golden giant sword lodged in Cailis’s joint, finally dislocating her wing. Unable to exert strength in one wing, she tilted and fell towards the ground, sliding straight towards Jima.
In front of Jima was the city wall, with a stunned goblin standing on top. She looked back to see Cailis’s enormous mouth wide open, advancing towards her.
“Oh my! So persistent!” Jima began to regret having provoked Cailis’s greed and anger so many times, pushing the dragon to target her to the death.
Jima jumped several steps onto the city wall, and below, Cailis crashed into the wall with a loud bang.
Just as Jima took a breath of relief, the goblin next to her came to his senses and pointed a spear at Jima, shouting, “Screaming girl!”
Jima flipped the goblin off with her middle finger, saying, “You are an idiot.”
Under the “idiot curse,” the goblin immediately appeared dazed, drooling from the corner of his mouth.
“I’m still as clever and wise as ever.”
Just as Jima finished praising herself, Cailis’s dragon head rose from below. With one blinded eye and the other filled with anger, she opened her dragon mouth, half of its teeth missing, and a stream of gray-green dragon breath erupted towards Jima.
Jima quickly yanked the idiot goblin in front of herself as a meat shield. The dragon breath engulfed the unfortunate goblin, melting its body, along with Jima’s figure behind it, disappearing in the dragon breath.
The dragon breath ceased, revealing a large corroded gap in the city wall.
“Simply killing you means fewer extraordinary materials.” As Cailis spoke, she extended her tongue to lick at the melting remains, sucking in the essence.
Strangely, there wasn’t a hint of extraordinary power in the corpse water.
“Tsk tsk, how does goblin taste?”
Cailis turned her head and saw Jima appearing beside George. Her dragon eyes widened, and she exclaimed, “How is it possible? Didn’t you use that extraordinary item?”
“So stupid,” Jima mocked. “That was just a lie.”
Cailis felt as if struck by lightning, suddenly understanding that Jima had long since promoted to gold. The potion she had been brewing was merely a ruse. Under the influence of Saint John, she had wrongly assumed that Jima relied on extraordinary items to escape.
She spat angrily, “The intelligence of humans below is actually contagious.”
“You all are like half-wits, falling for my lies.” Jima teased. “Are you ready for your final words?”
George had nearly recovered, bending his knees, prepared to continue the fight.
“Wait.” Cailis said, “Did you forget something? Your sword is still stuck in my bones, George.”
“And then?” George pointed at her chin’s fatal weakness and declared, “I’ll pull the sword out and stab it in.”
“But you can’t catch me!” Cailis suddenly pressed her claws against the city wall and leapt up, shouting, “Even if I can’t flap my wings, I can still fly.”
With that, she opened a pair of translucent wings on her back and flapped with force, surprisingly taking flight.
George quickly pursued her, leaping off the city wall and summoning a celestial warhorse. The silver-white warhorse leapt out of the light, and George vaulted onto its back, pulling on the reins and shouting:
“Old Bai, catch up!”
Old Bai kicked up its hooves and raced swiftly, barely keeping pace with the green dragon. Although Cailis didn’t fly very high, she was still airborne, and George couldn’t reach her for the moment.
“Is this the upgraded ‘simulation’ ability of lies? Able to mimic low-level extraordinary powers.” Jima, possessing a similar extraordinary ability, commented while desperately inciting Cailis’s greed and anger. “Come back, you dead lizard!”
But no matter how Jima prodded, Cailis had thoughts of escape and wasn’t foolish enough to turn back and offer herself.
“Succubus! What are you doing? The castle is about to fall!” Drew’s voice came from behind. Jima turned to see bloodied Drew riding a horse, his eyes blood-red, gripping a lance in one hand, with a javelin strapped to his back.
“Slay the dragon! If we don’t slay the dragon quickly, it will return to harass us, and then there won’t be any opportunities left.” My extraordinary materials would also slip away. Jima said, “Let me borrow the javelin.”
Drew tightened his grip on the sword hilt, saying, “That is my ancestor’s dragon-slaying weapon.”
“Isn’t that even better? After slaying the dragon, you can go back and save your castle.”
Drew nodded, drawing the dragon spear from his back.
At that moment, a green mist suddenly appeared beside Drew, and within the mist, the beautiful “Flower Fairy” opened her eyes, saying to Drew, “Dear, have you forgotten our promise?”
“It’s you… how…?”
“With George gone, this is the best time for you to fulfill your promise.”
Jima suddenly panicked, realizing, “Oh no, my puppet doppelgänger technique can only be used twice a day.”
Just then, Jima felt a wave of pressure coming from behind. She quickly turned to see Cailis executing a quick maneuver, increasing her flying speed, leaving George behind and heading straight for Jima.
Cailis had long since planned this; she had definitely seen Drew coming and had deliberately flown away, pretending to escape while actually distracting George.
Her tail quivered uncontrollably, drooping down.
The “Flower Fairy” smiled, saying, “Dear, please fulfill your promise.”
“Even though it doesn’t quite fit my knightly identity, since you insist, my dear.” Drew hesitated for less than half a second, dismounting from his horse and reaching for the Flower Fairy’s hand, saying, “I will fulfill my promise and propose to you.”
The “Flower Fairy” was taken aback. Drew’s hand touched the “Flower Fairy’s” delicate hand, but it passed right through.
The “Flower Fairy” could no longer contain herself, her expression changing, “Humans are so filled with vile thoughts. You’re a knight; have you forgotten your promise to kill Jima? Don’t you want to be healed?”
“Why would I kill the doctor who cures my sickness?” Drew couldn’t help but say, “That goes against the knight’s code.”
Jima gave up the performance and couldn’t help but clutch her stomach, laughing aloud, “I swapped Drew with a mental patient who thinks he’s Drew.”
“What on earth is happening, dear?”
“Shut up! Lowly human.” The Flower Fairy said and immediately vanished.
Cailis regretted her earlier decision. She dared not charge at Jima; who knew what other tricks this cunning succubus had up her sleeve. Cailis turned, desperately flapping her wings, flying towards a mountain on the outskirts; as long as she could leap over the mountain before the time concluded, she could escape.
Jima grabbed the javelin from Drew’s hand, leaped down from the city wall, and mimicking Cailis’s abilities, said, “I will be able to fly.”
She flapped her wings, gliding towards the horseback George and tossing the dragon spear to him.
