Chapter 1419: Chapter 147: The Beauty’s Heart Returns
Miao Fei and Wan Li keenly felt Kino’s intention firmly locked onto them. Their bodies trembled slightly involuntarily, for in front of the Purple Flame Soaring Dragon, they didn’t stand a chance to resist. Miao Fei thought about fleeing, but he knew very well that no matter how fast he was, he couldn’t outrun magic. Gritting his teeth, Miao Fei said to Wan Li: "We’ve got to fight him." The two simultaneously gathered all their fighting spirit, glaring at Kino and ready to strike with full force.
Kino looked at Miao Fei and Wan Li coldly, swinging his Magic Wand lightly. The Purple Flame Soaring Dragon in the sky began to rotate slowly. He pointed his Magic Wand in the air, tracing a peculiar purple symbol. With a glint of cold light in his eyes, he chanted, "Go, my Purple Flame Soaring Dragon." The Dragon radiated a brilliant purple light, soaring up with immense fiery energy. As it ascended dozens of meters into the air, it suddenly dove down, lashing out at Miao Fei and Wan Li with its claws and fangs.
Moon Scar finally recovered from his shock and urgently said to Yue Ji beside him: "Little sister, stop Kino, he’s going to kill them."
Hearing her brother’s call, Yue Ji snapped out of her admiration for the Purple Flame Soaring Dragon. After all, she had spent a long time with Miao Fei and Wan Li and had some affection for them. Without thinking, she yelled: "Kino, stop right now!" Her voice carried with fighting spirit, reaching Kino’s ears clearly.
Hearing Yue Ji’s shout, Kino was jolted all over, instantly awakened from his rage. What am I doing? They aren’t true enemies, how could I strike them with such deadly force? Once the Purple Flame Soaring Dragon unleashed its power, not only would Miao Fei and Wan Li die, but even the nearby mercenaries would suffer great harm. The Mercenary Corps’ headquarters might also be destroyed by him. By then, he and Yue Ji would truly have no chance together. With this thought, he urgently rallied all his intention, striving to stop the Purple Flame Soaring Dragon in the air.
The Purple Flame Soaring Dragon, released with all Kino’s strength, harbored such colossal energy that it was not easily controlled. A sudden change in orders greatly increased the strain on Kino’s body, but for Yue Ji’s sake, he would comply. Ignoring his own well-being, he resolutely used his spiritual power to slow down the Dragon’s descent.
Miao Fei and Wan Li were completely dumbfounded when the Purple Flame Soaring Dragon swooped down on them. Only when facing such a formidable spell did they realize its terror. Before the ten-meter-long Dragon, their bodies were insignificant. They could no longer muster the slightest will to resist and could only silently await the arrival of death.
"Ah—" Kino shouted loudly, his Magic Wand emitting a surge of purple energy, successfully halting the Dragon’s charge when it was three meters above Miao Fei and Wan Li’s heads. Even so, under the scorching energy, Miao Fei and Wan Li’s hair and whiskers were all burned away. The two simultaneously felt a heat throughout their bodies and their minds grew dizzy. They collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
One peculiar symbol after another floated out from Kino’s hand, infusing into the Purple Flame Soaring Dragon in the air. His expression was grave and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Under the power of these symbols, the Dragon began to shrink, and the fire element gradually dissipated into the air. Finally, after ten long minutes, the intense fire energy faded away, and the air cooled down again. Every member of the Moon Scar Mercenary Corps was drenched in sweat. With a retching sound, Kino, unable to endure the immense strain, vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. His body slowly slumped to the ground.
Yue Ji exclaimed in shock and rushed to Kino’s side, wrapping her arms around his body and asked anxiously, "Kino, how are you?"
Kino’s mouth curled into a bitter smile. "I should not be dead yet. It wasn’t my intention to attack; they pushed me to it. I couldn’t agree to their demand to never see you again, Yue Ji. I really like you so much." After spouting another mouthful of blood, Kino fainted. His declaration before losing consciousness completely shook Yue Ji’s heart; Kino’s foolish figure could no longer be erased from her mind.
Moon Scar swiftly moved to Miao Fei and Wan Li’s side, checking their conditions. Finding that the two had only fainted temporarily due to the invasion of fire toxin and were otherwise fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a golden figure dashed over like lightning. Before the figure arrived, a booming voice had already asked, "Who used such a powerful spell in the Corps just now? Is anyone hurt?" The towering figure appeared—it was Overlord, returning from a mission. Seeing three people lying on the ground, he was instantly taken aback and asked Moon Scar, "Brother, what happened here?"
Moon Scar responded with a wry smile, "It’s a long story! Someone, take the Vice-Captains Miao Fei and Wan Li back to their rooms to rest. Little sister, how is Kino?"
Teardrops flowed down Yue Ji’s cheeks as she shook her head, saying, "I don’t know."
Overlord strode over to Kino, immediately recognizing him, and checked his pulse firmly, probing his body with his own fighting spirit. After a while, he said, "It seems he’s just drained of strength, his life is not in danger, but he needs proper care. Yue Ji, when did you return? Have Ah Dai and the others come back as well?"
Yue Ji, holding the large body of Kino, left with the words, "Ask Big Brother about it." Then, she carried Kino back to her own room.
