Volume 1 The Tale of the Blacksmith Chapter 36 The End of the Strong Crossbow

The blazing dragon's breath caught Chrysti off guard, because of the excessive physical exertion, her body could no longer withstand the burn, and if she was hit head-on this time, she would definitely die.

However, Chrysti is worthy of a paladin and will not give up hope until the last minute.

Since she couldn't withstand the dragon's breath, she had to sacrifice a part of her body, and she summoned dozens of tentacles in an instant.

The tentacles were as hard as steel, and together they were transformed into a thick shield, which Cresti intended to use to ward off the scorching heat of the dragon's breath.

In the next moment, the fireball that Lilith spat out hit Christy, but it was blocked by a sturdy shield, but it was a shield made of biological tissue, which was powerless to parry in extremely high temperatures.

Chrysti screamed that it was not good, and quickly summoned more tentacles, constantly reinforcing the shield, and at the same time thinking of a way to escape.

Her body contained hundreds of tentacles, only some of which could become as hard as iron, but unfortunately they were basically burned by dragon breath, and the remaining were less than ten.

In order to survive, Chrysti had to summon all of her tentacles to resist the flames, but most of them were so fragile that they were almost burned in a few moments.

She complained bitterly, and if she continued like this, she had to explain that she was here, and she had to escape as soon as possible.

Now that there is no one to threaten her except Lilith, how do you break up Lilith's offensive?

Chrysti's brain raced, and she eventually noticed Emir.

She didn't know that dragons were able to make a contract with humans, but from what she had just observed, it seemed that Lilith was acting under the orders of the emir.

That way, as long as the emir is killed, then Lilith is likely to give up the attack.

Not knowing if she was right, Chrysti had no choice but to be a dead horse healer, so she stabbed the few hard tentacles she had left at the Emir.

All of the Emir's attention was on the battlefield, not expecting Cresti to fight back, and he had no weapons in his hands.

Seeing that the sharp tentacles were about to pierce his body, Emir closed his eyes in fright, and at the last moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Emir only caught a glimpse of the figure's silhouette, tall and muscular, and he immediately understood what the man was trying to do.

In order to confirm who the man was, he opened his eyes, only to find that the person was Sain, and sure enough, what he feared most happened.

Several tentacles quickly passed through Sein's body, and a large amount of blood gushed out, some of which splashed on the emir's face.

"Sain!" Emir shouted in a trembling tone.

The other party turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, but still smiled at him.

"It's all right, Emir, I said I would protect you."

“…… Don't die, Sain. ”

"Hehe, I'm not going to die, I still have to rely on you." Sain smiled and said weakly.

In fact, he was not mortally wounded, and after a closer look at his injuries, the Emir realized that none of the tentacles had stabbed the vital point.

However, he still fell to the ground from excessive blood loss, and Emile glared at Christy that he must avenge his brother.

Chrysti also felt that it was a pity that she did not kill the emir at once.

At this point, because of her sneak attack on Emir, Lilith gave up the attack and turned around to ask Emir about the situation.

"How's it going? Emir. ”

"It's okay, we have to fight quickly, if Sain's injury is not dealt with, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"A quick fix? Hmph, then try it and see which of us can survive to the end. Chrysti's face was gloomy as she approached the emir.

Lilith naturally wouldn't let her get close, and immediately stretched out her claws, trying to catch Chrysti, but the other party was already on guard and easily dodged.

Lilith refused to give up, and spat out the dragon's breath again, which had caught the other party off guard just now, and now, Chresti was not so easily hit by the dragon's breath.

With her nimble figure, she dodged all of Lilith's attacks, while her target was still on the Emir.

Soon, the distance between the two sides was no more than two meters, and Lilith did not dare to act rashly at this time, because she was too big, and the slightest mistake could hurt her master.

Emil knew this, of course, and quickly backed away, distancing herself from Chrysti so that Lilith could continue her attack.

Unfortunately, this was also seen by Chrysti, who immediately used all her strength to get close to the emir.

At this critical moment, a flash of light suddenly struck them, and Emir looked intently to see that it was Ares.

He didn't lose consciousness yet, but in order to cover the emir, he used his last strength to unleash his sword skills.

Chrysti was jealous of this terrifying sword technique at the beginning, and now that Ares has used it again, she naturally did not dare to slack off, and quickly jumped away, while defending with the few tentacles she had.

However, the flash passed by, and it turned out that it was just a trick by Ares, who wanted to cover Daniel's next attack.

Because his right hand had been impaled by a tentacle, Daniel now switched to holding the sword with his left hand, presumably because he was not very skilled, and the sword he stabbed straight at Chrysti was full of flaws.

Chrysti snorted coldly, thinking that this guy looked down on people too much, so she swung her sword at will to block, and when Daniel's figure disappeared, she suddenly remembered the other party's sword skills.

"Tsk, I'm so dizzy."

Cresti cursed herself and quickly retreated to a greater distance, stretching out all the remaining tentacles in order to probe Daniel's exact location.

However, her tentacles probed around her surroundings but found nothing.

At this point, Chrysti was far enough away from Emir that Lilith immediately spat out dragon breath, and she was not worried that Daniel would be affected.

Because she could sense Daniel's position, he was hiding outside of the dragon's breath's attack range at this time, and as long as Cresti moved to avoid the dragon's breath, Daniel could stab her with a sword.

At this time, Chrysti was no longer the same as before, she had not only endured the scorching of the dragon's breath several times, but also consumed a lot of physical strength in the battle with the knights, and now the tentacles on her body were almost destroyed.

Everyone present knew that Kresty was at the end of her crossbow, and Daniel was confident that his next sword would defeat her once and for all.

Until now, even Daniel has to sigh that such a paladin with a tragic fate finally embarked on the path of betraying humanity after being framed by the nobles, and finally died at the hands of humans.

In the next moment, in order to avoid the dragon's breath, Christy decisively chose to jump away.

Lilith's attack failed, and she had to pin her hopes on Daniel.

Daniel succeeded in the end, and with his stealthy form, he coldly stabbed the sword into Christie's heart, and then spun the blade of the sword, intending to destroy her entire heart.

However, Chrysti's heart had long since been destroyed, and it was the monster's heart that supported her.

So it was clear that Daniel's sword didn't hit the point, and Kresty reacted immediately, raised her sword and slashed at him, but fortunately Lilith stretched out her tail and rolled up his body and dragged him away.

The biggest problem they face now is that they don't know where the monster's heart is in Cresti's body.

Of course, they had another option, which was to hit her head-on with dragon breath, but the target was not a live target, so it was easier said than done.

In the end, Emir came up with a good idea, and as you can see from Chrysti's surprise attack just now, she must have guessed that the key to dealing with Lilith is to kill Emile first.

Because of this, he can come up with a plan.

So, as soon as he thought of this, the emir went into action, he pretended to want to flee from this battlefield, and then deliberately showed his back.

Lilith didn't know about the Emir's tactics, so she was puzzled for a moment.

"Eh, wait, Emir, where are you going?"

Naturally, Chrysti did not let go of this opportunity, and she had no doubts about Emir's deliberateness, which had always been arrogant, and rushed towards Emir with her sword.

Seeing that the two swords were about to pierce Emir's body, Daniel and Lilith not far away were sweating for him, after all, Emir was their last hope.

However, in the face of such a desperate situation, the corners of Emir's mouth turned up, and he immediately turned to face Chrysti while calling out Lilith's name.

Suddenly, Lilith's massive body was lifted up by a mysterious force, and then almost instantaneously moved in front of the emir.

In the next second, Kresty's two swords stabbed at the dragon, and the blades sparked sparks on the hard dragon scales, and her hands were numb because of the force.

At this time, Lilith finally understood Emir's tactics, so she did not hesitate to spit out the dragon's breath, enveloping Kresti's body again.

She tried to block it with her tentacles, but there were only a few of them, and they were not enough to burn, and she had to endure the scorching fire.

Then, a shrill sound resounded through the sky, and I don't know if it was Chrysti's screams or the monster's unwilling roar.

It didn't take long for Christy to lose her form and disappear in the dragon's breath, which meant that she was burned to ashes.

Seeing this scene, Daniel finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Emir didn't relax, he still had to help Sain heal quickly, and in addition, Ares also had a breath of relief.

There is no doubt that they have finally won, but such an outcome is based on many sacrifices, so is this really a victory? The emir was noncommittal.

However, he didn't have time to worry about those things, so he hurriedly used a strip of cloth to help Sain stop the bleeding.

With the nursing knowledge he learned from his grandmother in his early years, he quickly completed the bandaging.

Ares' injuries were even more serious, and the Emir wanted to save him, but he couldn't stop the bleeding, and coupled with his limited level of treatment, he simply couldn't recover.

"That's enough, boy." Ares whispered.

“…… I'm sorry, it's me who is so useless. The emir looked sad.

"Don't worry too much, this is the fate of our knights, and I have long been ready to come to my senses, and finally ...... Please...... Be sure to save the town. ”

As he spoke, Ares' voice grew softer and softer, and finally he lost his strength.

The emir was silent for a moment, and finally he could not help but sigh, and at the same time his heart was filled with resentment.

One is because these knights are obviously so noble, but they can only die tragically on the battlefield, and those guys with weak willpower are in high positions, and even betray humanity in the end, how unfair it is.

The second is because his current strength is too weak, not to mention saving people, if there is no Lilith, he can't even protect himself.

Now that Kresty is dead, it is unknown how the demons will act next, and whether there will be more powerful enemies.

The human side has no extra combat power, and if the demons send a stronger enemy, the emir is not sure to win this battle.

But that's all for later, he still has to solve the problem at hand.

He suddenly remembered that Lydia was still fighting on the battlefield, and he didn't know what was going on.

So, after he settled Sein, he rushed to the battlefield outside the city.

On the other hand, Daniel has been worried about his sister's safety, and it has long passed.
