Chapter 1055 Starter City #5 - Part 1
"Do you want to make a bet? Will you kill me first, or will I kill her first?" Tang Shaoyang challenged the man.
Lulu was struggling as the grip became stronger, making her hard to breathe. However, despite being hard to breathe, she secretly sent signals to Roman. She made a mouth movement, speaking without the noise. 'Do it in five….'
"Okay, I will give the blade to you. You can have it, but you release her." Roman tried to negotiate things out while also buying time for Lulu.
'Five….' As Lulu finished the count, a blue barrier was created around her. At the same time, she opened her mouth and breathed out fire. Roman also followed with a quick swing toward Tang Shaoyang's neck.
Roman thought the surprise attack would work, but he was surprised when he sensed his sword met with resistance. A clanking noise rang in the air, indicating his sword was blocked by the blade. Realizing his sword was blocked, he got away from the naked man who was engulfed in fire, retreating five meters away.
"Aren't you going to save your girlfriend?" Tang Shaoyang's voice came out from the fire.
Roman's eyes widened in surprise, seeing Lulu, who was still struggling in the naked man's hand. The naked man received the fire with his body, and yet nothing happened. He was surprised because Lulu was not just using any spell but a dragon tongue spell. The fire was not a normal fire, but dragon fire, yet the naked man was unscathed.
Lulu's struggle weakened as she hardly breathed. Tang Shaoyang slammed the petite woman to the ground with no mercy. The barrier cracked, then he raised the Titan Blade and was about to slash the blade down toward the helpless mage.
"We surrender! Don't kill her! We surrender!" Roman threw his sword away and knelt down. There was no hesitation in his action to surrender. "I will give you everything I have, and I will do anything for you. Please don't kill her! I beg you not to kill her!"
Lulu was not his lover, but there was something else that made him go to this extent to save Lulu. Roman realized that the naked man was much stronger than him, and he deemed it impossible to save her by himself alone. This was the only choice he had.
Roman then heard something fall next to him, followed by coughing. He was about to turn to the side, but then a force pushed his head down. Tang Shaoyang's right foot pushed Roman's head to the ground. "Become my dog, then I will spare yours and your girlfriend's life."
"I am sorry, sir, but she is not my girlfriend. And I don't want to be a dog either." Roman was not upset that someone had stepped on his head. Instead, he was quite calm and relieved that the naked man had spared Lulu. He proceeded with the negotiation.
"I thought you would do anything. Guess I am wrong. Does that mean we have no deal?" Even though Roman did not see it, he could project it in his head that the naked man swung the blade in the air. He could feel the breeze from the swing.
"Yes, I will be your dog as long as you spare her life, sir." Roman gave up the negotiation to get his right as a human and surrendered to the stupid deal. As soon as he agreed to the deal, the pressure on his head disappeared. He raised his head and looked at the naked man, and it put him in an awkward situation because his head was on the same level as the naked man's donger.
"While it's just the three of us, I suggest you dress up, sir." His face looked at the naked man's face, but his eyeballs kept moving between the donger and the face. He just could not resist seeing the big donger.
Tang Shaoyang looked down and realized that he was butt naked. He was not aware that he would be revived without clothes. However, he could not protest about it as it made sense that he was resurrected naked. He flicked Roman's forehead. "Turn away."
Roman followed the order and turned around while secretly glancing at Lulu. The woman was still struggling, getting her breath. He let out a sigh of relief that everything turned out to be alright. At the same time, his mind spun around, trying to figure out the naked man's identity.
'Is he the target of the God Rank? But he is just an Ancient Rank. There's no way an Ancient can fight the God Rank to this extent, and he should not be alive if he fought the God Rank. But he is absurdly strong for an Ancient Rank. The dragon magic also does not work on him.'
"You can turn around now." Hearing the cold voice, Roman obediently turned around. The man was dressed in strange clothes instead of armor. Black thin cloth with another jacket outside and long black pants. It was not something one should wear, not when one was outside the starter city. But then he realized that only meant one thing, the man was confident that he did not need to wear armor.
'Stupid of me. The dragon fire can't even burn his skin. What's the use of armor?'
"What's your name? And where are you from?" Tang Shaoyang looked at the broken Dragon Destroyer in his hand. He was fond of his battle-ax, and it broke apart after the battle against the God Ranks. Not surprised since the battle-ax was not even Epic Rank equipment.
"My name is Roman, and she is Lulu Mistovel. I am from the Starter City #5, and we are part of the Karian Adventurer Guild." Roman answered truthfully. Of course, he replied in detail, hoping the man in front of him got the clue. He threw the name of Mistovel and also Karian Adventurer Guild, hoping the man would recognize the name so he could be freed.
"Lead me to your starter city."
