Chapter 25: Flame Illusion

More than a dozen bolts of lightning converged in one place, colliding with each other, and erupted with extraordinary energy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The explosion of the electric charge caused the ancient wood to ignite a skyrocketing fire, billowing smoke into the night sky, and the sound of wolf howls and burning became a bloody music.

Albert was bitter in his heart, constantly consuming mana to dispel the fire element below, but his mana was not much left, and it had little effect. He was not afraid of the flames, but if the ancient tree fell, he would surely become the mouth of the wolves when he returned to the ground.

It didn't take long for Albert's magic to run out.

The flames that had lost their suppression were finally released, and the furious fire elemental beat happily on the ancient tree like a group of children. The ancient wood became charred and fragile, and there was a crunch sound, gradually tilting. Albert looked at the wolves waiting below, not knowing what to do to stop this. His consciousness grew weaker and weaker, and his heart almost stopped beating, even though the red dragon bloodline kept repairing his body, but to no avail.

Albert was miserable in his heart, could he just die like this? As his heart stood still, he closed his eyes unwillingly.

"Wake up, my child. ”

A soft, doting voice rang out, echoing deep inside Albert's heart.

"Who's talking?" asked Albert, who for some reason he thought he had heard it somewhere.

He opened his eyes and looked around blankly, shocked to find himself in a world made of flames. The endless sea of flames enveloped him, and from time to time tongues of fire splashed like fish leaping out of the water.

"You've grown up, my child. ”

The voice sounded again, and immediately after, a 'woman' condensed by flames emerged from the lake.

"Where am I? Do you know me?" Albert asked again and again, and for some reason, a sense of familiarity and familiarity suddenly rose in his heart, as if he had known the person in front of him for a long time, and was very close. He realized something, yes, it was the feeling of being connected by blood. "You are my dear. Albert's voice was hoarse and choked. "Yes, it must be, I can feel it. He looked at the woman. "What happened, why did you leave me, why did you leave me in the mortal world?"

At this moment, Albert took off all the disguises he had used to hide his heart and make him look strong, and turned into an ordinary sixteen-year-old. "Why?" he asked her.

"I'm just an illusion in your mind, and I can't answer your questions. The woman floated up to Albert and gently stroked Albert's cheek.

The soft voice echoed in Albert's heart, like the warm sunshine in winter and the cool evening breeze in summer.

"You can, you are my dear. Albert said stubbornly, still not giving up.

"Nope. The flame on the woman's body flickered and flickered, as if she was thinking about something. "I don't even know who I am. ”

"You're lying. Albert shook his head. "I can feel your pulse, your heartbeat, you must have life, emotions and memories. He took the woman's hand.

"Child, you are wrong, I have no life and no emotion. Of course, I do have a memory, or a mission. The woman smiled. "Protect you, that's all I have to remember, and when you leave here, I'll be gone forever. She looked at Albert, and there was a hint of warmth in her eyes made of flames, and Albert saw it in her eyes, and she was even more sure that the other party was lying.

"So whose illusion are you?And whose memories belong to whom?," Albert asked.

"I don't have those memories. "The woman is not impatient because of Albert's repeated questions, maybe the woman has no emotions at all, maybe the woman's acting skills are good.

"What are you afraid of?" Albert frowned. "Can you tell me? I just want to know the truth. His tone softened.

"I'm sorry, I don't know anything. ”

"No, you ......"

"Listen to me, kid, I'm running out of time. ”

The woman interrupted Albert's words, stroking Albert's hair and cheeks, and the slender hand condensed by the flame made Albert feel warm and kind. "Live well, for those who love you and those you love. ”

With that, the woman resolutely pushed Albert into the flames.

At the same time, the sea of fire turned into a huge vortex of flames, engulfing Albert in it.

"No!" Albert roared hysterically, reaching out to try to grab something, but without success.

Albert had never been so helpless, like a boat in a storm, without the slightest resistance, at the mercy of the waves.

"The land is about to descend into chaos, and the Titans and Dragons who guard the world are killing each other. Looking at Albert, who had disappeared into the vortex of flames, the woman muttered to herself. "Be a mortal, my child, and don't get involved in this affair. Her figure gradually dissipated, and the world of flames crumbled and shattered.

"Pounding. ”

"Pound!"

Albert's heartbeat returned.

He opened his eyes and looked at the forest shrouded in thick fog, and his expression darkened. "Is it a hallucination?" he was in a trance, as if it had just been a dream. "No, that's true. Albert touched his cheek, and he could feel that everything was real, even though it was in a hallucination. Albert swore that it was definitely his relative, and he could feel the strong affection in the words and actions of the woman, as well as the unique aura of the dragons.

"I'm not an orphan...... he muttered, his mind in a daze.

"Whew!"

"Click!"

At this moment, the sound of breaking and howling sounded at the same time.

The burning ancient trees collapsed with a clatter, overwhelming many trees along the way, and the silver wolf ran wildly towards the canopy.

The sudden change brought Albert back to reality from his chaotic thoughts.

He tried to stand up, and found that his body had become very light.

Albert was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but look at his body, which made him completely stunned.

At this time, Albert's body was intact and there was not a single trace of injury. Not only that, but his physical strength has also increased a lot, which is comparable to a four-star martial artist.

The only fly in the ointment is that the mana is not restored, nor is there any improvement.

It seems that the bloodline has awakened again.

However, instead of joy, he felt a little bitter in his heart.

An adult dragon can face the top powerhouses with his body alone, and now he is not even as good as a young dragon.

"Is that the reason?" Albert muttered, because he wasn't really a dragon, so he was abandoned by the dragons.

"Bang!"

Just as Albert was stunned, a loud bang was heard.

The ancient wood smashed on the ground, stirring up dust in the sky. And Albert, who was distracted, also suffered, fell and almost injured again.

"Ahem. Cough. Albert coughed a few times and struggled to his feet. He put away his doubts for the time being, and also put away the true emotions he revealed, and put on a disguised mask again.

His gaze immediately changed from confusion to calmness, and the childishness on his face instantly faded, replaced by a perseverance that did not match his age.

Albert stared at the eight silver wolves that were galloping wildly, and the increase in strength gave him a boost in confidence, and it was time to fight back.

"Whew!"

The first wolf howled, and the other seven wolves opened their bloody mouths and swarmed up.

"Die!" Albert roared, raising his right leg with lightning speed, and a roundhouse kick sent the nearest silver wolf several meters away. Then, as his right leg hit the ground, he lifted his left leg and kicked another wolf away. The blood of the remaining five silver wolves was about to arrive, and Albert rose to his feet, leaping three meters to avoid the attack. As he fell, Albert saw the right moment, rode on the body of a wolf, and swung two punches, one left and one right, at the same time. There was a cracking sound, and the silver wolf fell to the ground with a bang, and two depressions one centimeter deep appeared on both sides of his head.

Albert didn't stop and launched a deadly onslaught at another silver wolf.

"Whew!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the head wolf issued a retreat order, and fled in a hurry with his tail between his legs.

It's a pity that Albert didn't plan to let the wolf go. He had suffered so much for no reason just now, and now it was the turn of the head wolf to pay off his debts.

The silver wolf runs like a fly, and the speed is extremely fast, and even more so is the strongest head wolf.

But it was clear that Albert was faster. In just a few moments, Albert caught up with the wolf.

He stretched out his hands and grabbed the wolf's tail with all his might, and the three-hundred-pound head fell to the ground due to the unstable center of gravity. Albert didn't give the head wolf a chance to fight back, and quickly threw three punches, and the head wolf whimpered.

As soon as the head wolf died, the wolves immediately became a mass of scattered sand. The only two remaining silver wolves had no heart to resist, and fled into the thick fog in embarrassment.

Albert didn't chase any further, fearing that he would get lost again.

The four searched along the fallen trees, but found no trace of Albert. I really shouldn't have left Albert here alone, Joanna blamed herself in her heart, if something happened to Albert, she would never forgive herself.

"Joanna, when are you going to find it?"

"It's none of your business. ”

"It's none of my business, I guess that lowly civilian is dead. We have killed the five-star demonic beast, and we will definitely be able to get the first place in this joint assessment, if we hurry up. It is important to know that time will affect the assessment results. ”

"While I'm not angry, shut your crow's mouth. ”

"Padwin, you are ingrateful. Don't forget, we wouldn't have been able to kill the Mist Anaconda without Joanna's friends. ”

"Miss Irene, don't say that, I'll pay him. Of course, if I could still touch him. But I don't think that's possible, I rarely come into contact with lowly civilians. ”

"Padwin, do you want to duel?"

"Joanna, I'm just telling the truth, how can you care about a lowly commoner?"

"He's my friend. ”

"Aren't we friends? We've been in trouble together for three days. ”

"Hehe, your words make me sick. ”

"Do you want to duel this disgusting fellow? If so, I can do it for you. ”

A slightly muffled voice suddenly sounded, and everyone followed the sound to see a red-haired young man strolling from the thick fog.
