"boom!!"
The crossbow bolt attempted to pierce the shield, killing two birds with one arrow!
Xiao Han braced himself against the shield with both hands, exerting all his strength. At the moment the crossbow bolt struck, his arm dislocated, and the force penetrated his body through the shield. His blood surged, and his limbs and bones felt as if they had been crushed by a devastating force.
This is like trying to stop a truck traveling at 100 miles per hour while squatting in a horse stance – you'll just get your bones crushed!
"Buzz!"
Visible ripples spread through the void, thunder roared, and energy surged!
Even so, the golden crossbow bolt was ultimately blocked by Xiao Han!
"laugh!"
Even a strike capable of slaying a dragon could not break through the unbreakable magic weapon that could not be torn apart.
If there were equipment ratings, Xiao Han wouldn't mind giving Doran's Shield a five...nine-star rating. Its defense is incredibly strong; it'd probably be perfect as a brick to smash people.
Of course, Xiao Han was not in good condition at this time. Even with the divine artifact blocking him, the terrifying force of the crossbow bolt almost blew him apart.
If Xiao Han hadn't carefully consumed the experience fruit to accumulate experience points for the next level, immediately leveling up and restoring his physique, and if Oufina hadn't been there to absorb the force for him, he would have instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist before this terrifying divine power.
"A deadly attack that locks onto the soul! His Highness the Demon King actually blocked it!!"
The necromancer, a man of great experience, witnessed this miraculous scene, and a look of terror appeared on his skull-covered face.
This attack targets extraordinary power at the soul level.
and,
The crossbow bolts were too fast!
It was so fast that even he, a powerful expert at the late stage of the Silver Rank, could only barely catch a fleeting afterimage.
As for Radiance, she used the healing techniques of the White-winged Seagull clan to restore Xiao Han's health.
"cough!"
Xiao Han coughed up a mouthful of blood, his vision went black, and he fell into a coma.
As he resisted this deadly blow, he felt a powerful force as if it were tearing him to pieces. His blood surged, his blood vessels burst, and after only a moment, Xiao Han's pain receptors snapped, and he could no longer feel any pain.
His expression stiffened slightly for a moment, then relaxed.
It doesn't hurt at all, but for some reason, I feel a bit cold and empty inside.
This eerie feeling reminded Xiao Han of the joyful times he spent staying up all night, hovering between life and death, ready to ascend to immortality at any moment.
"Smack!"
The novice demon king collapsed in Ophina's arms. If he were to open his eyes now, he would surely be able to witness the stunning sight of two bright moons stretching across the sky.
"roar!"
The chimera trembled a few times, then regained its strength and broke free of the blockade by heading towards the weak point of the griffon legion. Its dragon wings whipped up a whirlwind, and it soared into the sky against the sea of clouds!
If they don't run now, Chimera suspects that tonight will become a sumptuous dragon meat feast in Kossenburg, the kind where the blood is used for bathing.
...
Evelyn watched the flying dragon disappear into the sea of clouds on the horizon, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
Alexander, standing to the side, was on the verge of tears. Noticing Evelyn's weak breath, his lips twitched.
I'm under so much pressure!
"Your Highness, is it worth it?"
Alexander was almost in tears. Evelyn, who clearly had extremely high potential, was now in such a state that after unleashing the Dragon Slayer Crossbow, she didn't even have a chance to use the [Forbidden Hand] that had amazed the Valhalla examiners.
Moreover, she didn't even unleash 30% of the Dragon Slayer Crossbow's power, clearly holding back.
"It's worth it; only in this way can they leave safely."
Evelyn parted her cherry lips slightly, her pretty face hidden beneath the feathered armor dim and lifeless.
I know all too well that you yearn for freedom and have thoughts of leaving my side.
Even if you have amnesia and don't remember me...
But the care, affection, and warmth I've received over the past four years, even if it's just a little bit, are worth it for me.
"My lord, it's the Starstorm Empire's fleet!!"
Loki, who had been knocked down by Ophina's sword, stepped forward to report, pointing to the direction where the escaped prisoners had jumped into the sea. Warships were sailing towards the shore, and brave warriors in naval uniforms were sharpening their weapons, preparing for a landing battle.
"Ready for battle!"
Evelyn uttered a single word and then turned and left.
Loki: "???"
He turned his puzzled gaze to Alexander, who helplessly shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help him.
At the same time, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes...
I guess I'm out of year-end bonuses. You know, that's a lot of my personal savings!
"Hahaha! I did it!"
"A werewolf who climbed onto the Starstorm warship exclaimed in surprise. Behind him, a group of fellow prisoners who had managed to escape waved their arms and howled to the sky."
"Dog Coin Knights! Come and bite my ass if you dare!"
"Chase him! Come on, keep chasing! I'm right here!"
"Hahaha, hahahaha!"
As the saying goes, those who rely on their power to bully others will eventually escape to safety and reveal their smug and despicable nature.
In their view, the Starry Sky Empire was the mortal enemy of the Garan Empire. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and we are all invisible allies who should help each other.
Even if it's not that exaggerated, they're certainly happy to cause trouble for the enemy.
"Damn it, those bastards deserve to be hanged!"
On the rocky shore where the waves crashed, a group of knights stood with eyes full of rage, wishing they could jump into the sea and beat these arrogant little devils to a pulp.
The captain of the Starstorm Fleet frowned, glanced at the prisoners with slight disdain, and waved to the rear.
Suddenly, figures flashed, and the fellow prisoners who were boarding the ship were surrounded by swords and knives.
The werewolf and his cellmate, who were making sarcastic remarks, had somewhat stiff smiles.
At this moment, the atmosphere became a little tense, and there was a slight sense of awkwardness.
