It was a tiny fireball, shaped into the tip of the staff in Una's hand, and at first only slightly larger than the blood-red core that Mithril was holding. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info when it flies halfway and the volume expands to the size of the palm, the color also changes from the initial almost transparent, and slowly turns into milky white.

At the same time, the beast core at the top of the staff suddenly cracked.

That fireball was different from all the magic that had ever appeared in this world, as if it contained the purest and most extreme fire element between heaven and earth, so that the moment it came into contact with the fighting qi in front of Jesse, even the golden fighting qi seemed to be ignited, bursting with a scorching light.

The violent roar spread from near and far, and wherever the sound went, the battle of life and death was stagnant.

Lisa, Miko, the priest on the walls of the west city of Coennath, Lucia and Layla in the tower, Alex in the Imperial Arena...... Almost everyone watched the scene with incredulous eyes.

Donner and Jesse have fought until now, and they know his strength the most, and they are closest to Jesse at this moment, and their feelings at this time are also the strongest.

He watched as the fireball burst through Jesse's fighting aura without hindrance, melting his dark gray chain mail, apparently made of Mystical Darkiron, and then burning the skin, muscles, and ribs of his chest to ashes bit by bit......

For some reason, Donner suddenly remembered the sorcerer stories he had heard in his childhood on the island of Lante - the stories in which the evil knights, no matter how powerful, would eventually be burned to ashes by the mage's fireballs.

Jesse wasn't burned to ashes, and the fireball exploded in his chest, splashing in all directions, and turning into a rain of fire.

Although Donner's Fire Element has been depleted, his resistance to the Fire Elemental has not been lost. Una was not afraid of these scorching, sneering sparks. However, Lisa and the Ninth Divine Son couldn't stand the sudden heat and quickly retreated.

When Donner turned to look at Una, the girl was looking at him expectantly, as if waiting for his approval of the magic she had just had.

On the battlefield in the distance, Richard avoided an exaggerated giant hammer, glanced hurriedly in this direction, the anxious look on his face suddenly receded, grinned, and turned around and slashed the knight with the giant hammer to the ground with a sword.

On the tower of the city wall, Layla's face was stained with tears, and she murmured softly, "Sister Una...... Your Majesty, did you say, Sister Una, has she already remembered......"

Lucia nodded slightly, then pulled her gaze back from Donner to the battlefield below the city, and said, "Layla, win this battle, everything will be fine...... Now, it's important to protect Richard!"

She raised her hand as she spoke, and a howling hurricane appeared in front of her, sweeping towards the enemy knights who were rushing towards Richard.

Lisa probably had the same idea as Lucia, as soon as she withdrew from the area covered by the fire and rain, her feet were a little on the ground, and she turned in the direction of the battlefield. The Ninth Divine Son followed closely behind her.

Within a radius of a few hundred meters, Donna and Una were left staring at each other.

“...... Do you remember?" Donner's main concern wasn't the magic he was just now, even if it was amazing.

"Hmm...... It's like a dream. Una nodded in reply.

"It's good to wake up from a dream. Donner walked towards Una, and just took two steps when her feet went limp and she almost fell.

"Young Master......" Una shouted anxiously, and ran towards Donna, a red dress that looked light and dazzling in the rain of fire that sprinkled from the sky but none of them could get close to it.

Donner smiled and spread his arms, waiting to pick her up.

At this moment, Una's complexion suddenly changed.

Donner turned around in surprise and gasped.

A monster with only half of its body left, even its heart, lungs, and internal organs hanging on its veins, was pounced on with its teeth and claws.

The monster was already close at hand, and its fire-breathing eyes stared at Una.

A remnant of fighting aura light was shining from the monster's flesh and blood arms, condensing and expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye......

Between the lightning and flint, a wheal swung out of Donner's left hand, sweeping Una out at once.

It was the last magic that Donner's remaining Wind Divine Element could cast.

Almost at the same time, the sword he dragged in his right hand swung upward, and without hesitation, he took a sideways step, blocking the monster's path towards Una.

The sound of fists shattering bones and muscles was popped.

Donner only felt an unprecedented pain coming from his chest, and an ugly, distorted, broken, hideous face that could not be described in words was almost attached to his eyes.

"Young Master......" The girl's hysterical shouts sounded behind him.

This time, Donner didn't look back, all the strength in his body was condensed in his hand, and he grabbed an arm tightly.

The arm was almost bone-white, but it ran through his chest, and the section exposed behind his back was still dripping blood.

“...... How stupid...... I'm going to kill...... It's just you from the end ......" the monster grinned, as if it were laughing.

"I guess it'......" Donner spoke, blood blistering through the gap between his chest and arm, "...... But I can't afford it...... I can't afford to risk it......"

The light of the fighting spirit on the monster's arm had completely disappeared, and Donner felt that the other party's life breath was also on the verge of disappearing.

"God...... Miko ...... I can't save it...... I can't save you......" The monster finished the sentence with the last of its strength, as if making the most important statement of all.

Donner smiled, his brain may not be able to withstand such intense pain, and it is rapidly cutting off his neurons that sense pain, and then secretes dopamine that plays a compensatory role, so that he suddenly feels warm and comfortable.

"I know......" he whispered, or didn't say anything, just thought in his heart.

The sun was fading, and someone seemed to be shouting his name in the distance, his voice desperate and sad.

What a pity...... In the end, he failed Lucia...... I didn't get to see Ruiko for the last time......

Richard...... My brother is gone...... You have to live well...... Let's go to see my father often...... Thank him for me...... Thank you for giving me a home......

Wesley...... I'm afraid of one day...... So...... I left you a letter...... I'll leave the rest to you...... I know you don't care about this, but I can't help it, who made you such a friend as me......

Una...... I'm sorry...... You've just recovered...... I'm leaving...... Take care of Layla for me......

No one can hear these silent confessions.

The fire and rain are gradually extinguished, but the sun is still shining.

Someone was crying, hoarse.

Someone stood dumbfounded, staring blankly.

There are those who raise their swords to pour out all their sorrows.

Someone lay in a pool of blood, still wide-eyed.

On the slope of time, one era has come to an end, and another era is about to be performed.

The long night is coming to an end, and the dawn has not yet broken.
