Chapter 202 Lathel vs. Fire Drake
Lathel didn't think much, he immediately ran in front of Moharo and clenched his fists.
His whole body was engulfed in white and red energy, and his fist was bustling with the two-coloured swirls of violent energy.
The giant fireball, carrying a terrifying temperature, rushed towards him, emitting light that illuminated the entire space.
"Gondori!"
Lathel shouted as he punched towards the giant fireball.
BAM!
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying explosion rang out, the space vibrated, and a hurricane so strong swept out that it caused the trees in the distance to be blown sideways.
Flames from the fireball spread out, forming a heat wave. Luckily, that heat wave was cooled by a stream of white energy, which turned into countless sparks and disappeared into the air.
The contestants who saw this scene were also startled.
"Is that… Is he also a contestant?"
"No way, why is he so strong?"
"Are you stupid? He is Lathel; in the first round, he was suspected to be cheating by someone."
"What?! Cheat? But… he could destroy that terrible fireball, so why would he cheat?"
"I don't know, but I can guarantee that he is very strong. If that fireball landed on us, I'm afraid we would all die."
"Incredible, I didn't know that there was a contestant this strong this year."
"Compared to him, we are nothing."
"Don't talk nonsense, even so, he still came back to save us. Haven't you seen how many people he has saved so far?"
"That's right. Don't use your petty words to address the person who is saving you."
Lathel didn't care what the other contestants thought of him.
After destroying the fireball, he did not feel like he had achieved anything. Lathel turned his head, looked towards Moharo, and hurriedly said: "I will hold it off, you and the others leave first."
"But…"
Moharo was about to say something, but Lathel interrupted him: "I said…..stop talking nonsense. The injured contestants and staff members need to be taken to a safe place."
Lathel finished speaking, and without waiting for Moharo to answer, he clasped his hands together, and a red magic circle appeared between his hands.
Immediately afterwards, Lathel raised his hand, and from within the magic circle, a snake more than five metres long rushed out.
GRAO!!
That snake roared as it rushed towards the Fire Drake's head.
BAM!
An explosion rang out, and fiery dust scattered everywhere; however, the Drake did not even take a step back.
The fiery dust and smoke dispersed, and the Fire Drake's head was revealed without any injuries.
It looked at Lathel with murderous intent, so terrifying that it made him shiver.
However, Lathel managed to control his fear and ran in the opposite direction.
The Fire Drake glanced at Lathel, not intending to chase him, but suddenly, a bolt of lightning appeared, striking it.
BAM!
The lightning bolt was very small as it was shot out from Lathel's finger, but it caused the Fire Drake to take a step back, as its body was a bit unstable.
It focused its gaze on Lathel, lifted its legs, and began to chase him.
Lathel looked towards the contestants in the distance and shouted: "Run! Run to the meeting point."
GRAOO!!
The fire Drake spat out a blast of flame towards Lathel.
"AAA!!" The contestants saw this scene and screamed in fear. They were so scared that their faces turned white.
The fire was so powerful that they could feel the heat blowing on their faces even when they were far away from it.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a small fireball flew towards the Fire Drake, hitting it in the face.
Seeing the fireball, it did not avoid it, however...
BAM!
GRAOO!!
The fire Drake screamed in pain. As soon as the fireball hit its face, it exploded, but a bolt of lightning hidden in the middle of the fireball merged into its body.
The Fire Drake felt both numb and in pain.
However, that feeling only lasted for a few seconds, but that was enough to make it angry.
It immediately chased Lathel. Although its body was very large, like a mini-mountain, it was not slow.
On the contrary, it moved very quickly.
Seeing these, Lathel ran deep into the forest. He wanted to use the giant trees in the forest to slow down the monster and hide.
However, he underestimated the monster. The Fire Drake was too powerful, and the trees blocking its path were quickly knocked down by it.
Luckily, it was nighttime, so he could find a dark place to hide and buy time.
Outside, the contestants saw Lathel diverting the attention of the fire drake into the woods, and they were surprised.
"Are you guys stupid?!" Suddenly, Moharo shouted: "He risked his life to give you time to escape, why are you still standing here?"
"Hurry up! Run! Do not turn back."
When the contestants heard that, they immediately ran towards the meeting place with joy.
The other employees, who had also recovered, felt embarrassed and looked deep into the forest.
Moharo knew what they were thinking, so he said: "Don't think too much, you guys should recover quickly, then go back to save him."
"I am telling you now, the principal is interested in him, if he dies, I and all of you will have to be buried with him."
The surrounding staff shivered. They all knew that Moharo certainly wouldn't trick them.
Moharo took out a small porcelain bottle, drank the energy pills inside, then picked up his magic staff and rushed in the direction where the fire drake had gone.
Suddenly, Moharo stopped and took a step back.
Immediately afterwards, a wall of fire appeared from the ground, separating the entire forest from the outside world.
Seeing this, Moharo felt even more desperate.
If he was killed by the Fire Drake, at least he would be a hero. But if he is still alive and Lathel dies, then he is just a sinner of the academy.
Moharo gritted his teeth and rushed towards the wall of fire, but was immediately stopped by some employees.
"Moharo, are you crazy?"
"That's right, even a high-level Gladiator wouldn't dare rush into this wall of fire. If you rush into that place, you will definitely be burned to cinders."
"Moharo, calm down, I'm sure that young man will be fine. He can definitely escape."
Moharo angrily shouted: "Are you stupid? We can't even stop that monster, how can one contestant do that?"
The surrounding staff could only stay silent and comfort Moharo.
Just like Moharo said, more than twenty employees, plus Moharo, couldn't stop that monster, so how could a normal contestant do it?
Even if he is a genius, it is impossible.
"Sorry, Moharo, we can't let you commit suicide."
"That's right. Even though that young man was very brave, we also need to choose between the possible and the impossible."
"Don't worry, we will immediately go save him after recovering."
"That's right. We're almost done recovering, you don't need to take such risks."
At this time, other magicians began to use magic to try to open a path on this terrible wall of fire.
Moharo tried to struggle, but he was just an old magician, unable to escape the hands of the young staff around him.
In the end, he could only look towards the wall of fire and hope that Lathel could survive until the staff came to save him.
…
Lathel was hiding behind a rock when suddenly he felt the ground vibrate violently, startling him.
Immediately afterwards, a wall of fire erupted from the ground, surrounding the entire forest.
The wall of fire not only surrounded the forest, but the light emanating from it also illuminated the entire place, revealing his location.
Lathel raised his head and saw the Fire Drake standing not far away and also looking at him.
The Fire Drake bowed his head, and spat out a stream of flames that spread around.
Lathel gritted his teeth and took out Cauldron: "Cauldron, help me."
"Oh! I know!" Cauldron replied, andimmediately became a large cauldron big enough to cover Lathel.
Lathel, who was inside the cauldron, heard the howling wind and felt a chill down her spine.
If it weren't for Cauldron, he was afraid he would have becomecoal.
However, if he didn't have the Cauldron, he wouldn't be brave enough to act as bait to trick the Fire Drake into running into this area.
A moment later, Cauldron spoke: "The fire has mostly dissipated, you can go out."
"Thank you, Cauldron."
"Don't thank me." Cauldron replied: "You and I are in a cooperative relationship, you help me, I also help you."
Cauldron spoke as he shrunk to the size of a thumb and fell into Lathel's palm.
Lathel looked around, the forest had now completely turned into a coal field, and everything had burned down.
The largest trees were still on fire, emitting light like a candle in the night.
The Fire Drake stood in the distance, and upon seeing that Lathel was still alive, it was a bit surprised, but it immediately started crawling towards him. Seeing this lathel also started moving.
"Not good, if this continues, I'll be exhausted before someone comes to save me." Lathel muttered.
"This monster's fire is very terrible…" Cauldron spoke: "My energy reserves are not much, I can only protect you through two seas of fire like before."
"Only two more times?" Lathel gritted his teeth.
He immediately ran to the wall of fire, and used the elemental energy of lightning and fire to cover his fist.
The Fire Drake, in the distance, saw this and immediately bent its body. The scales on its body suddenly stood up and shot out at Lathel as fast as arrows.
"Lathel, watch out!" Cauldron shouted.
Lathel was about to break through the fire wall to run outside when he heard Cauldron's voice.
He turned his head and saw the sharp red scales of the Fire Drake flying towards him.
Lathel didn't think much and quickly dodged. As soon as he moved, a scale stuck into the ground where he was previously standing, like a sword cutting into mud.
Lathel saw that scene and felt a bit lucky because he had practiced in a high gravity environment, so his speed was much faster.
But it didn't stop there, the scales continued to shoot towards him, forcing him to move continuously.
Whoosh!
Lathel was startled when he heard the howling wind. His intuition immediately warned him that he was in mortal danger.
He followed his instinct, and tilted his head to the side. Right after that, in just an extremely small moment, a scale grazed his cheek, leaving a cut that was about 2 cm long.
Lathel trembled, he did not think that the Fire Drake's scales were not only sharp, but they could also fly without a certain trajectory.
Whoosh!
The sound of the wind whistled again. Before Lathel could pay attention, he saw more than 10 Fire Drake scales flying towards him, and they were just less than two metres away from him.
Lathel retreated and held out cauldron. Cauldron quickly grew bigger and deflected all those scales.
"Ack!" Before Lathel could realise what happened, his back was hit by an extremely hard object.
He turned his head and saw that the Fire Drake's tail had hit him and sent him flying away.
Lathel rolled a few times on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. His frightened eyes focused on the Fire Drake standing in front of him.
