Chapter 35: I Lost

"Fire Dinosaur, the most powerful [Flame Vortex]!"

Crimson flames enveloped the fire dinosaur in a wall of fire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The only thing that makes info different from the first one is the amount of power.

"I hope you can come up with some new tricks, I said I would do my best, and I will never show mercy!"

Leolu's eyes began to turn vicious, which meant that he would never be soft on Ikki again.

The so-called battle is nothing more than the defeat and destruction of the enemy. And this theory was something that Ikki had never considered. But this cruel theory is the reality of the world, and this applies even to the world of elves.

The fire dinosaur's right paw could no longer be raised. The claw had been broken off when he had taken over with Leolu again, and was completely unusable, at least until he was treated.

The cold sweat that broke out on Ikki's forehead was already running down his cheeks and dripping to the ground. He couldn't have imagined that the elven battle would have such a cruel side.

He's still too naïve......

"Do you understand? This is my attitude, and this is my persistence!"

Leolu said to Kazuki. But when he finished speaking, he put his paw behind his back and pinched it hard.

'How am I...... What about doing this to a child?'

What Leo Lu didn't expect was that Ikki suddenly raised his hand after being stunned, slapped himself hard, and then covered half of his swollen face and stood up tremblingly-because the scene just now made him sit on the ground in fright.

"I think I get it...... I see why you asked me to fight with the consciousness to kill you. I'm sorry...... I'm only now fully understood......" Ikki lowered his head, his eyes obscured by his hair. He didn't dare to look at Leolu, let alone the severely injured fire dinosaur.

"Roar!!" the fire dinosaur shouted as it walked over, apparently not caring about its completely unconscious right arm, but instead preferred to come over to comfort Ikki.

"Roar![I'm not that weak elf, I just can't use one of my claws.] Since you told me that, let's show something!"

It gripped Kazuki's drooping hands with its left paw and smiled at him with a nonchalant expression.

"Huh...... Really, I don't understand what you're saying, it's ......."

In the haze, Kazuki also saw the appearance of the fire dinosaur. He lifted his sleeve vigorously and rubbed it in his eyes, then looked at Leo Lu again.

"In other words, you have to be like Leolu!"

Leolu nodded. Kazuki was referring to the fact that he broke the arm of the fire dinosaur. He didn't intend to do that at first...... It's just that the time is too limited to continue to consume.

The high wall of flames formed an insurmountable barrier between the fire dinosaur and Leolu, and this time Leolu knew that he could not easily break through the barrier.

"Ikki...... Do your best to defeat me!"

Because, time is running out......

He jumped towards the circle of flames, and with the blessing of his physical condition, he should be able to withstand one or two rounds of attacks, and after landing is the key to victory or defeat. As for the fire dinosaur, Leolu was pretty sure it was inside the fire ring.

The encirclement formed by this flame is like a ring, and there is no way to get out of it unless you defeat the caster of the skill.

Leolu had enough confidence, but without the energy from the stones on his scarf, he still crashed into the flames, but he didn't suffer much burns. The fire dinosaurs did not take this opportunity to attack either. Even if Leolu hurt it so ruthlessly, it still wanted to be able to confront Leolu head-on.

"Let's go, fire dinosaur, shoot the whole field with your flames!"

The ring, as the name suggests, is where the players fight, and it has a defined range, and Ikki has found this point.

Pillars of fire formed by flames swept across the circular field, leaving a scorched black trail on the ground, quickly determining.

"Do you limit your range of motion?" Leolu jumped, and though the move itself was dangerous, he did it anyway.

"Fire Dinosaur, stop attacking and wait for the moment Leo Road lands!"

As soon as Kazuki finished speaking, the fire dinosaur stopped spewing burning flames, and fell to the ground on all fours, its eyes locked on Leolu on his head.

"Don't attack, then let me come!"

Leolu adjusted his body and gathered his strength into his limbs, bringing the fire dinosaur and an area around it into the range of his attack. He was thinking of ending the battle by resisting fire damage, but Ikki's next words made his attack completely fail.

"Fire Dinosaur, jump backwards!"

"What?!"

After leaving a long scratch on the ground, the fire dinosaur had slipped out of Leolu's attack range, and Leolu's fist struck the roof solidly. In addition to the recoil force on his body, the roof was also cracked.

If it had hit the fire dinosaur just now, there was no doubt that it would have been seriously injured, and there was no suspense at all. It's just a pity that no matter how powerful an attack is, as long as it doesn't hit the target, then it's meaningless.

"Damn, do you think that's the end of it!"

Leo Lu didn't pause, and after quickly adjusting his posture, he rushed towards the fire dinosaur again.

"Fire Dinosaur, keep jumping, don't stop!"

As long as Leolu chased after the fire dinosaur, the fire dinosaur would move faster than him, and at the same time cut a rift in the ground. After repeating it a few times, Leo Lu also reacted, but now his physical strength has basically bottomed out.

"Are you...... Do you see that?"

"Well, that's right," Kazuki nodded with a smirk, "Leolu's stamina should be running out, right, your speed is too bad compared to the beginning, which means you can't continue to maintain this state, right?"

“…… You're right, but until then, I'll deliver a fatal blow!"

Leolu gritted his teeth fiercely, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be oozing blood, but he didn't dare to relax, because the fire dinosaur was ready to attack.

"Then, let's end the fight!" Kazuki said with his eyes closed, "Fire Dinosaur, use [Iron Tail]!"

Leolu didn't have time to be stunned, because the fire dinosaur's tail had already come to him in an instant. As for the reason why Ikki let it continue to melee with Leolu, he didn't know.

Could it be that I want to humiliate him when I see that my physical strength is exhausted? No, it shouldn't be possible......

"Ikki, what the hell are you thinking!!

Even a skinny camel is still much bigger than a horse.

Leo Lu grabbed the tail of the fire dinosaur from the side, unloaded the powerful force with a slight force, and when the fire dinosaur could not move normally, he clenched its tail with all his might, crossed over his shoulder, and smashed it towards the ground.

"Boom!!"

This was definitely the most force Leolu had used since the beginning of the battle, and the fire dinosaur landed on the ground with the back of his neck accurately, so he shouldn't be able to stand up even if he didn't die.

"Huh~Huh~, it looks like you can't knock me down yet......"

Leolu gasped for breath, the arrogance on his body dissipated, and he almost fell to the ground with a flicker.

But when he looked at Yihui, he found that the little face that should have been full of loss was now full of smiles. Although the smile was fake, Leolu understood it.

"Is that so? At least it seems to me that the one who wins should be a fire dinosaur!"

What does that mean? Fire dinosaurs are no longer able to fight?

He was about to speak, but suddenly he felt the fire dinosaur that fell to the ground behind him shoot flames towards him.

That's right, the [Flame Vortex] hasn't dissipated yet, proving that the fire dinosaurs can still fight. It was he who miscalculated.

But even when the physical strength is exhausted, it is not difficult to dodge the attack of the seriously injured fire dinosaur.

"As I said, the fire dinosaur and I will definitely defeat Leolu!"

"This ...... This is?!"

Although the flames did not hit Leolu or miraculously turned back, the surrounding wall of flames suddenly became shorter, and the vanished part began to spread rapidly along the many paw prints left by the fire dinosaur when it had just dodged.

"That's when I thought of a strategy!Damn!!"

Paw prints are numerous and dense, looking at the entire field, there is no place to stand on it, and the only way to escape is from above.

Leolu jumped decisively into the air, and if he had been of normal height, he would still be able to cross it unharmed. It's just that after all, it's still a step too late.

"Fire Dinosaur, let the flames erupt!"

"Uh...... Roar Roar Roar !!"

Orange-red pillars of fire sprang up from countless claw marks, enveloping Leolu, who had not been able to escape the range, and by the time it dissipated, Leolu was already lying on the ground covered in charred black.

"Also...... It's not over yet!"

Even so, Leolu still retains the ability to move. To end the game, one of the elves must lose the ability to fight, and he can't let himself fall!

"Fire Dinosaur, let's get it done, [Big Word Explosion!]"

Once again, the flames covered the claw marks, only this time the color was no longer orange-red, but pure red.

"Oulu !!"

A scream rang out from the rooftop, and there was no doubt that it should be audible from the bottom of the building. This means that Selia may catch up.

"I'm sorry. “

The red pillar of light suddenly appeared directly below Leo Lu, who was trembling as he walked, and it was basically a zero-distance hit, and the power was not even lost at all. And this attack also ended the battle in the true sense.

"Fire dinosaur, Leolu!"

Kazuki quickly ran over, picking up one in one hand, and examining their injuries in distress.

The fire dinosaur had a broken arm and a heavy blow to the head, but Ikki knew that Leolu would have been merciful even in this situation, otherwise it would not have had the strength to use the last [big word explosion]. Leolu is much more serious. The fire dinosaur was only damaged in a few specific parts, but at least its mobility was still retained, but Leo Lu was all burned, and there was no one left intact on his body.

"That's it, I won, Leolu!"

He pulled out healing tree fruit and spray from his backpack, as well as an empty Poké Ball.

Leo Lu couldn't use those props, but Ikki didn't use the Poké Ball immediately, but said to Leo Lu, who was completely scorched in his arms, "It's like we agreed, okay?"

In response, there was a slight tremor of the elf in his arms. If he wasn't subdued, Ikki wouldn't be able to move Leolu, who was covered in wounds, because if he moved his body, he would tear other wounds.

Kazuki sighed, lifted the Poké Ball, and threw it aside.

"This game is a draw," he rubbed his eyes, "you canceled that strange form of yours, so let's take it as a draw." “

After a brief silence, Ikki continued to say to himself, "I don't know Leolu's past, I have no way to understand your mood, and I may not be able to change your current ......."

He looked at the sky, and although it was still cloudy, the light seemed to be slightly brighter.

"But it's okay, I want to know everything about Leolu, even if you don't want to say it, it's okay, as long as that's it......"

The fire dinosaur slowly stood up after recovering a little bit with those props, but fell on top of Ikki without taking two steps. He had no choice but to touch the orange head and said with a smile: "My relationship with the fire dinosaur should be able to slowly recover." As long as I have time, I think Leo Lu will be able to find his ideals. “

"But I'm ...... Maybe you can't do it anymore......"

Leolu couldn't open his eyes, and it hurt to even move, but he still didn't lose consciousness...... Although he would rather faint and at least escape reality for a while.

Hearing this, Yihui slapped him the top of his head, and he almost jumped up in pain, straining a nearby wound.

"What a frustrating thing!" Ikki was a little angry, "Although I think Leolu is like a complete stranger now, but I know it! Even if Leolu says that he has no ideals, he has things he wants to do and people he wants to meet!"

"I know that these things can't become ideals that can support you all the way, but it doesn't matter, I'm willing to accompany you to find it!" Yihui hammered his chest and swore solemnly: "So until then, please rely on me!"

"I know my abilities are low, but I will work hard for you. I want to be the strongest trainer, and this dream needs to be realized with you. I will definitely not give up ......"

Kazuki continued excitedly, not noticing that Leolu in his arms had begun to cry silently.

"You've asked me a lot of ideals, right? I'll ask Leolu a question too," he sat down on the floor, shaking his head, "do you know why I always mention friends and companions?"

Leolu didn't react, and Kazuki understood that he was badly injured and couldn't move flexibly, so he continued.

"Because I don't have any friends, I really cherish each and every one of you. As he spoke, he burst out laughing, "In this respect, the two of us are very similar!"

"Yes, you don't need to continue to worry about ideals. “

Yihui turned his head suddenly: "Sister Nazi, are you awake?"

Nazi angrily threw a light punch on his head, shook her head, and sat down on the ground.

"Ideals are inherently illusory, and the more you chase them, the harder they are to get them. It doesn't matter if you don't know what your ideal is. As Ikki said, since we are friends, let's rely on us a lot......"

"Is it really possible...... Do you really welcome me now?"

If Ikki wasn't here, Leolu probably wouldn't have been able to cry anymore.

"What to say, as a friend, no matter how much Leo Lu changes, I will always welcome you!" Ikki hugged the fire dinosaur beside him, "I and the fire dinosaur will always welcome you!"

As Kazuki spoke, there was a sudden tremor on his waist, and all the elves ran out and gathered them in a circle, chirping and calling, but they all looked happy. Zoroa, in particular, tried to jump on Leolu, but was pushed aside by Ikki with a wry smile.

“…… Thank you. “

Leolu turned his head away, not wanting Ikki and Natsu to see his face, even though he endured the pain from the burn.

"Whew~ Let's go, I've been busy for so long, I'm hungry, right?

"Really, you can't ...... it"

Just as Ikki was about to get up and leave the place, Zoroa, who had just run around because of his anger, arched back the Poké Ball that Ikki had thrown back with a short nose.

"Zoroa, thank you. “

Kazuki was about to reach out and pick it up, but Zoroa blocked it with his body, and when he withdrew his hand in confusion, Zoroa got out of the way.

"I asked it to help pick it up......" Leolu in his arms suddenly spoke, "Since you all said so, I don't want to care, now I just want to take a good rest......"

"Ah, do you mean Leolu ......?"

Leo Lu reached for the Poké Ball on the ground and pressed the white button on it.

"Just take it as if you were willing to gamble and lose, I just want to rest now...... I should be able to sleep for a long time......"

The Poké Ball bounced off the middle, and the red light instantly enveloped Leo Lu in Ikki's arms, and a few seconds later, the blackened elf disappeared from him, replaced by a Poké Ball with a flashing indicator next to Zoroa.

Kazuki nodded, and regardless of the result of the subduation, he picked it up and said hello to Nazi, and then called the fire dinosaur that was already able to run and ran towards the elf center of Kumquat Island.
