Chapter 40: The Price
Twilight flew a short distance and fell to the ground, his left hand numb and nearly unconscious.
He quickly stood up and raised his shield again, and there was another piercing sound of claws rubbing against the shield, but this time the force was significantly less, and the potential energy of the pterodactyl that had just dived was almost exhausted.
The pterodactyl's claws were useless except to scratch a piece of light on the surface of the shield again, but it had no intention of giving up, and flew down at the twilight star again and again, attacking the shield again and again.
Twilight's left hand was slowing down, his arm was bruised, his shoulder was aching, and although the shield could withstand the sharp claws, the impact could only be borne by himself anyway.
During this time, Twilight Star has also been trying to attack it with a long knife, but with little success, this pterodactyl is very agile, flying down, one blow and leaving, so that Twilight Star can not find a chance to attack it, and every attack it has to use Twilight to defend with all its strength, and ensure that it is not caught by the pterodactyl and taken to the sky.
Another attack, Twilight Star's numb left hand lifted a little slower, and was grabbed by the pterodactyl's claw on the right shoulder, the sharp claws slashed with flesh, and the deep wound could even see the bones, and the painful Twilight almost let go of the long knife held in his right hand, but fortunately, it was only slashed by the claws, and if it was caught, it was estimated that the entire right half of his body would be scrapped.
Seeing that his attack was finally successful, the pterosaur roared excitedly, and even stretched out its head in the air to taste the blood that still remained on its claws, and then became even more excited, it circled in mid-air and then dived down from higher in the air again, but at this time, the speed of this pterosaur became faster, and its pupils seemed to have a black luster for a flash, but it seemed to be a little confused, but it was quickly replaced by excitement.
Seeing this, Twilight Star was furious, this pterosaur dared to do this in front of him, he must kill it and eat it all!
As the pterodactyl swooped down, Twilight no longer focused its power on the shield, but poured all of its magic into the long knife in his right hand.
Twilight silently gathered his strength, and when the claws and shields collided again, he decisively withdrew his shield slightly, and at the cost of the sharp claws on his right chest and abdomen, he swung the long knife in his right hand, which had been infused with a lot of magic and became flickering due to lack of control, and slashed towards the left wing of the pterodactyl.
Between the lightning and flint, the red blood splashed in the air, and the pterosaur that had just flaunted its might lost its balance because its left wing was cut off by the roots, and it couldn't control its body and crashed headlong into the ground, smashing on the hard rocky ground, and bounced a few times because of the force of inertia, until it was about to slide to the edge of this mountaintop, it could not stop, and almost fell.
Large expanses of blood spread beneath it, dripping down the cliff face, looking like a miniature waterfall.
Twilight's right arm hung weakly, and he covered his right chest and abdomen with his left hand with a painful expression, he had never suffered such a serious injury, and the sharp pain continued to hit his nerves, so that he couldn't help but moan, under the gurgling blood, Sensen's white bones were faintly visible, and several ribs were directly broken in two, and bone spurs were exposed from the deep wound.
The pterosaur that had lost its left wing fell weakly to the ground, it yelled several times and tried to get up, but without its left wing, even its feet were cut off in half in Twilight's attack just now, it was already difficult to get up again, but its vicious pupils were still staring at Twilight Star who was giving first aid to itself, even if it did, it would crawl over and bite him to death!
But undoubtedly, its plan was completely frustrated, because its vital signs were rapidly weakening, it was only the claw wings that had been cut off on one side, it was still able to struggle, trying to stand up, it could be regarded as alive, but just for a moment, it began to become weak, the original struggle became more and more weak, and even the blood flowing from the wound was rapidly decreasing, it seemed that it had lost its strength due to excessive blood loss, and it was not far from death.
After pouring himself another bottle of Moon Well water and using a low-level healing session, Twilight looked viciously at the pterodactyl that was struggling to the ground, and if it hadn't been slashed by its claws at the same time as the attack, causing the blade to shift, then the knife would have been directly slashed directly at its head.
His right arm was completely unconscious, and he could no longer use a long knife or bow, but that didn't bother him.
I saw that Twilight stretched out his left hand, which was still intact, and the pure white light continued to converge in his left palm, and after a while, it condensed into an arrow of light that flowed through the halo, which was the original version of the arrow of light, the manual throwing version.
Twilight's arrows of light in his hands were constantly converging more mana, and he had to infuse it with more mana to ensure a one-hit kill, and if he didn't manage to kill the pterodactyl in one blow in order to preserve his mana, he would have to use more mana before using a second spell.
The pterosaur struggled, and the arrow of light in Twilightstar's hand made him feel more and more uneasy, although the arrow of light that had shot its companion before was so fast that it could not see any shadow at all, but that did not prevent it from coming from its biological instincts, the last instinct from its life told it that it was about to die.
A pure white light pierced through it, into the ground behind it, the pterodactyl's movements were completely stiff, it no longer struggled, and a hole appeared in its chest that could be seen on both sides, the edges of the wound were charred black, and the heat even scalded its wound so that the blood no longer flowed, but there was no doubt that it was dead.
"Huh~~~Huh~~~" After solving the pterodactyl, Twilight fell down with a tired face, lying on his back on the hard rocky ground and gasping for breath at the blue sky, he was now very weak, and his magic power was very badly consumed.
Drops of sweat kept slipping down, and then quickly cooled in the wind on the top of the mountain, he shivered from the cold, a lot of blood loss plus the current cold wind, if it wasn't for his amazing physique now, I'm afraid he would have suffered from the wind chill.
The blood on the ground also cooled and solidified quickly in the howling wind.
After taking a breath for a while, Twilight Star regained a little bit of his magic power, and after enduring the pain, he corrected and fixed his broken ribs, and cast another healing spell on himself with a pale face, coupled with the effect of the moon well water, Twilight felt a little better, and the pain had been reduced, at least within the range of what he could bear, and the pain of his body being torn apart just now really made him not want to experience it a second time.
However, he also knew that this was just his wishful thinking, as an apostle, the danger of death in the future would accompany him, such a danger today was just a reflection of his future life, and the pain of today was only the beginning, and he might suffer more serious injuries or even death in the future.
But Twilight is attracted to this, this is the price of fulfilling wishes, this is the price of love, this is the price of being paid, because he is no longer confused, no longer distressed, no longer sorrowful.
