"No!" Witton Sting snarled suddenly, "you promised not to kill me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"No, I never promised anything. As the words fell, Albert's hand holding the core of blood poison suddenly exerted force.

"Albert, you despicable liar...... Ah!" With a crisp cracking sound, the nucleus of blood poison turned into a cloud of blood mist, and Wittensting's words came to an abrupt halt, replaced by a terrible scream that resounded through the night firmament.

At the same time, the rainstorm stopped, the clouds cleared, and the beautiful moon goddess returned with her starry people.

"I curse you with my life! Blood poison will corrupt your body and soul. ”

The vicious cursing faded away, and everything was calm.

"It's over. Albert smiled palely, and then his eyes went black, and he passed out.

A fierce battle combined with a blood transfusion for Chevis had made Albert weak, and he was able to hold on until now, completely with tenacious willpower.

Joanna hurriedly hugged Albert and pouted helplessly, "You are still the same, stubborn and rigid, and you haven't changed at all." Looking at Albert's ordinary face, which was as pale as paper, she couldn't help but smile wryly. At this time, Albert was asleep like a baby, and unlike before, the brow that had been tightly wrinkled and seemed to hide countless thoughts in the folds was finally relaxed.

However, Joanna didn't notice that a tiny ray of blood had penetrated into her body.

The battlefield on the other side.

Without Joanna, the pressure on Catherine and Shadow has increased dramatically.

Shadow's condition is fine, after all, he doesn't know tiredness, and he doesn't care about the wounds on his body.

But Catherine was different, she was already exhausted, and there were a few more inappropriate scratches on her fair skin.

The pain severely affected Catherine's pace and speed of attack, but she gritted her teeth and persevered. Looking at the werewolf rushing wildly, she pulled the longbow again, and the magic arrow instantly condensed, flashing with ghostly light. But at the moment when she was about to release the bowstring, the werewolf legion that was originally attacking frantically suddenly stopped, and the green light in the werewolf's eyes faded, and she froze in place, motionless like a dead corpse.

The vampire is dead, Catherine thought, subconsciously looking up at the Nightdome.

The great moon god blesses, may Cevis be okay, she looked at the moon goddess in the night dome and prayed silently.

"What's going on?" Just then, Shadow walked over and asked Catherine, who didn't know why the werewolf had stopped suddenly.

"The vampire is killed, and the vampire's orders to the werewolves are null and void, and the relationship between them is like that between you and Albert. Catherine explained impatiently, not disdained that Shadow was a magic golem, and that they were now teammates who had fought side by side.

And, in her opinion, Ei is much better than the hated Albert.

"I see. Shadow said mechanically, and nodded politely to Catherine in thanks.

"Let's go, studious little boy, and find someone else. Catherine smiled, put away her longbow, and walked deeper into the forest.

I don't know how long it took, but Albert woke up.

What catches my eye is a somewhat haggard cheek, and the beautiful almond eyes are bloodshot.

"You're awake. Joanna smiled like a flower, brushed her messy hair, and whispered softly, her voice slightly tired.

Albert nodded, and just as he wanted to speak, he found himself lying on Joanna's lap, which made him both excited and embarrassed. In the end, he said goodbye to the elastic "pillow" and sat up straight reluctantly. "Where are we?" he asked her, his voice hoarse.

"Still in Pigsberg. Joanna said with a smile, patting her numb legs.

"Why is it just you and the others?" Albert asked, looking at his limbs, a little curious.

"Cevis went to find food, and Shadow and Catherine were taking care of the werewolves. Joanna said delicately, like a spring breeze.

"Have the werewolves recovered?" Albert whispered, as if asking Joanna again, as if talking to himself. Then, he looked at Joanna's beautiful and haggard face, "You've been here, um, with me?" Although he already had the answer in his heart, he couldn't help but ask, after all, guessing can't be right every time. Most importantly, he wanted to get the most genuine and intuitive care from Joanna.

"Of course, I've always been. "Joanna Waner.

"Joe, I'm ......," Albert opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Joanna's attitude in the past few days has been very clear, but he still doesn't dare to pierce the last layer of window paper,

Maybe it's time to confess first, Albert thought, and after a moment of hesitation, his gaze became determined. That's right, he couldn't deceive Joe anymore, he made his choice.

"Joe, I'm going to tell you something, maybe you'll find it hard to believe, but trust me, well, I... What I say is true. Albert was a little incoherent until he took a deep breath and calmed down. "The vampire is right, I have dragon blood. ”

"You finally said it, I almost couldn't help but ask you. Joanna half-jokingly said that she didn't show much surprise, the vampire said it at the time, and Albert's reaction at the time confirmed the truth of those words. Then, she stretched out her fair hand and brushed the hair on Albert's forehead, "It doesn't matter what you are. She looked at Albert with a tender gaze, "It's us who matters." ”

"Are you really thinking so? aren't you afraid?" said Albert, holding Joanna's slender hand.

"Of course, I know Abel and I believe that no matter what he is, a man, or a dragon, he will protect me. Joanna nodded earnestly.

"Thank you, Joe. Albert was both touched and grateful to say that the Joanna he knew was kind, and that had never changed. It was not Joe, let alone Joe's father, who made him drift away from her before, but his own prejudice and inferiority.

"The sun god is above, Aber, you don't want to cry. Joanna frowned and grabbed Albert's hand with her backhand.

"Of course not, how could I cry in front of my beloved girl. Albert shook his head, denied it, and expressed his heart for the first time. "Joe, you are the princess of my dreams, the queen of my heart, and I swear that I will defend you to the death like a loyal knight. As he spoke, he fell to his knees on one knee and performed a very non-standard knightly hat salute by virtue of his impression.

"Looks like you're not too stupid. Joanna threw herself into Albert's arms.

She stroked the hard, warm scales through her shirt and looked up at the other man's chin, "Are these dragon scales?"

"yes, they'll disappear, when I'm strong enough. Albert said, feeling the girl's body temperature, and the unique scent of roses made his heart sway, and even suspected that he was dreaming.

If everything that is happening now is just a dream, then he would rather sleep for a long time and never wake up.
