Hahahaha!
Although the elderly legend had previously appeared as an old and frail man nearing the end of his life, his laughter at this moment was surprisingly hearty and powerful.
A thunderous, excited, and maniacal laugh echoed across the entire battlefield.
The laughter sent a chill down the spines of everyone who heard it, causing them to unconsciously tighten their grip on their weapons.
The central command room was equally silent. The excitement and joy from just moments before seemed to have never happened, replaced by confusion and despair.
"Damn it."
Someone let out a sigh through gritted teeth, making the atmosphere in the space even more oppressive.
"How could such a change have occurred?"
Although the number of enemy legends has decreased by one, the current situation doesn't look like things are looking up at all.
Commander Sophie, who spearheaded the brilliant sneak attack, stood with her back to the others on the highest command platform.
"ha……"
With her back to the others so they couldn't see, Sophie's expression became even more gloomy, and she bit her lip hard, which was impolite.
Sophie only released her lips after biting them until they bled and she tasted the sweet, metallic flavor of blood.
Sophie is just an ordinary person, but she is also not just an ordinary person.
Born into the Jasmine family, she possesses a remarkable and renowned talent: intuition, or rather, an extraordinary sixth sense.
Is this what's making me uneasy?
Just minutes before, Sophie was hoping her intuition wouldn't be wrong, but now she wished it could be wildly wrong.
Even with this unexpected turn of events, her unease did not disappear; instead, it grew stronger.
Uneasy, uneasy, uneasy...
This is bad! This is bad! This is bad!
Her intuition told her:
And there's more! Something even worse is about to happen!
"What kind of development could possibly occur that could be even worse than the current situation?"
...
...
In fact, not only did humans fall silent, but even supernatural beings were unaware of what had happened.
Why would their two legendary leaders turn on each other?!
What exactly is going on?
Although there is never peace among extraordinary beings, it seems that a legendary-level conflict has never occurred on the battlefield before.
Regardless, the extraordinary beings maintained a superficial alliance and avoided conflict in this setting. Any problems were resolved privately; otherwise, the saints wouldn't care about the specific reasons.
Now, not only has this happened, but the relationship between the two doesn't seem to have any prior conflict, making the situation very strange.
Guh.
They even stopped what they were doing and looked up at the legend in the sky, waiting to see what would happen next.
In the air.
The old legend laughed and laughed, then his voice choked with sobs, and suddenly tears streamed down his face.
With arms raised high, facing the gray sky, she shed tears filled with deep emotion.
Those were tears of excitement, the emotion of a destiny spanning thousands of years finally coming to an end.
"My lord will return!"
!
Just as he was getting excited, a noise came from in front of him.
"...Hey! Gardner!"
!
The dragon whose heart was ripped out did not die on the spot. At this moment, Katis was looking at his "comrade-in-arms" who had just ripped out his heart and murdered him with a face full of resentment.
"Ahem! Old man, what are you doing?"
He coughed up large mouthfuls of dark purple blood, but Katis's condition was gradually improving.
A large hole was torn open in his chest, from which filamentous muscle fibers spread, forcibly plugging the wound and controlling the bleeding to stop.
Melee legendary characters are inherently very resilient, and legendary dragons possess a wide variety of special abilities related to tenacity and life.
Simply removing the heart would be a severe blow to a legendary dragon, leaving it in a very weak state, but not enough to kill it on the spot.
Such behavior is undoubtedly a very serious provocation for Tajikis.
"I don't care what you're plotting, I'm going to kill you."
He will definitely avenge this.
Dragons are extremely vengeful; even stealing treasure from their hoard will result in them hunting you down to the ends of the earth, let alone a life-or-death feud like this one that almost killed you.
But when faced with Katis, whose expression was ferocious and who looked like a demon crawling out of hell, Gardner's reaction was remarkably calm.
"Of course you're still alive."
Gardner composed himself, wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and said calmly:
“I knew you wouldn’t die, after all…”
His dim gaze moved up and down, sizing up Katis, then he nodded.
"You still need to be sacrificed while you are alive."
A sacrifice?
Curtis laughed in fury, staring at Gardner with an extremely dangerous look:
"You still want to sacrifice me? Do you think I'll let you succeed?"
Still dreaming?
No longer wanting to pay attention to this madman, Katis charged straight at Gardner!
Forget about the mission, killing Gardner is the most important thing!
Gardner, watching Katis charging towards him, suddenly laughed:
"No, I'm not asking you a question; I'm just informing you of what's going to happen next."
A trickle of blood suddenly flowed from the corner of Gardner's mouth, making his expression even more ferocious and eerie.
