163 A Bad Idea From The Red-Eyed Black Dragon
‘Is the Fallen Angel defeated?’ Lord Gadar was so scared for his hero that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The Dark Enchanter noticed Gadar’s nervousness. “From a certain perspective, he is indeed defeated,” she said. “You must know that the Hydra only used four of his heads when fighting Lufasi.”
Gadar shuddered. The Hydra had only used half of his strength to deal with the Fallen Angel.
The outcome of the fight was clear. If the Hydra chose to use all nine heads, the Fallen Angel could not possibly withstand such an attack!
“Eve,” said Lina. ‘If you and the fallen Angel attack together, you might be able to win.”
Now that they were allies, there was no need to think about the morality of joining hands with each other. They could band together and attack, especially since the enemy was too powerful.
The Dark Enchanter turned to look at her Lord. Lina noticed that Eve looked tired.
“I have already made my move,” said the Dark Enchanter. Her words were uttered in exhaustion.
“As expected from the daughter of the Dark Magician marshal!” said the Hydra. “I see that your Dark Magic is on par with your father’s.”
Everyone looked at the Hydra. He had been petrified! Suddenly, something cracked. The cracks spread. The petrified head crumbled and fell. One of the heads was destroyed!
Lord Lina and Lord Gadar watched happily.
However, a new head grew from the neck that had turned to stone.
“I have to get rid of all nine heads quickly,” whispered the Fallen Angel. He was panting from evading the last attack.
The Fallen Angel realized things weren’t as simple as they seemed. The Fallen Angel had assumed that the battle wouldn’t be a problem if he and the Dark Enchanter worked together. However, he realized that it wasn’t so easy. He had failed to consider the Hydra’s regenerative ability.
If even one head was intact, the other heads could regenerate quickly! If they couldn’t find a solution for that, then the Fallen Angel and the Dark Enchanter couldn’t defeat the Hydra, no matter how hard they tried.
…
On the other side of the arena, Lord Bevin led Su Wan and the others to the vicinity where the trap was placed.
“Wait, Xu Yuan. I feel something is not right…,” said Su Wan. She pretended to be worried.
Lord Bevin was anxious. Su Wan didn’t seem to want to move forward.
The Light-Types, and their Lords, cursed in their hearts when they saw Su Wan stop in her tracks. They needed her to move just a few steps forward. But Su Wan seemed to have sensed the danger.
“What should we do?” whispered Lord Bevin. He had meticulously carried out the plan till now. If Su Wan didn’t move forward, all his effort would be wasted.
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon looked at his Lord. “The only way to convince her to move further is to show her the other Competition Gems.”
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon intended to make his Lord ask the Lord of the Light-Types for their gems. Lord Bevin would then be standing in the middle of the trap with three gems. Bevin thought that Su Wan would willingly step into the trap after that.
Lord Bevin needed to do it urgently before Su wan changed her mind and left from there.
Lord Bevin had thought of joining Su Wan’s side before. However, he had already carried out his plan to this extent. He could only move forward from here. There was no looking back.
Lord Bevin quickly ran to the spot where the Light-Types were hiding. He found the Starlight Swordsman with his Lord in that corner.
There is no time to explain,” he said. “Quick, give me your gems. We need to show her so that she doesn’t turn back.”
The Starlight Swordsman felt that the plan was feasible. They had no time to think about it. He contacted his other two companions and explained the situation. They agreed to do as Lord Bevin suggested. Hence, they gave their gems to Lord Bevin.
Soon, Lord Bevin stood in the middle of the trap with three gems in his hands. “Here,” he said. “I told you. I have the gems here.”
Su Wan looked at Xu Yuan and the White Dragon Saint, trying not to laugh. If they fought the three enemies one by one, it would take too long to get all the gems. This was convenient. The three enemies were gathered in one place and the gems were right in front of her now.
Su Wan, along with Xu Yuan and the White Dragon Saint, stepped into their trap. To confuse the enemy, Xu Yuan and the White Dragon Saint reduced themselves to the smallest possible size. They looked tiny and harmless.
Lord Bevin froze. He only now realized that the two heroes at Su Wan’s side had reduced in size. They looked tiny. ‘Who are they trying to fool?’
They looked so small that they looked utterly harmless. This meant that Su Wan already knew about this trap, and so did her heroes! Even so, she had followed him as though she wasn’t afraid of any ambush.
Just as Lord Bevin was about to warn the Light-Types, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon walked to him and took the three gems. Su Wan, Xu Yuan, and the White Dragon Saint walked toward him. The Red-Eyed Black Dragon offered the gems to them.
Only then did Lord Bevin understand. He had been curious about why the Red-Eyed Black Dragon seemed so enthusiastic about the plan. They didn’t need to ask for the three gems according to the original plan. He only needed to lure the enemy by giving up his gem. That was all.
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon handed over the three gems so willingly to the enemy…
