Chapter 278: The Third Arcane Gate Beckons

“To be frank, every arcane team needs someone with extremely high defensive abilities to act as a meat shield. One which will never fall regardless of what is done to it. This kind of arcane master poses a great headache towards the opponent, forcing them to hesitate before engaging.”

“But for a high level Green Dragon Bloodline holder to take on this role is a little too wasteful, isn’t it?”

“It’s not like you guys don’t know Stingham. So what if he has a Green Dragon Bloodline, he is too lazy… I think it is most suitable for him to be our meat shield. He can bask in glory as he charges head first towards the enemy without a single care. And due to his dragon bloodline, his body can innately take a greater beating and also has a faster recovery than a normal body.”

“Even amongst meat shields, a dragon bloodline is still a dragon bloodline. He will be the peak of meat shields.”

Wilde, Ivan, and the others quietly conversed in the attic of one of the pointed huts back above ground.

Stingham silently ate beside them in a depressed mood.

“The reason for arcane masters to exist is to maintain the peace of Doraster and protect the people they care for…”

“The war is still going on! How can you give in to your exhaustion?!”

“Get up, brave warrior!”

Ayrin’s sleeping body began twisting and turning on the ground as he abruptly shouted out loud.

It seemed like his consciousness had already awoken, but his body was too exhausted to move and wished to keep lying there. His consciousness wasn’t quite strong enough to will his body to move in such a state.

“If I don’t get up now, I won’t wake up again for several days!”

“You bastard, hurry up and pull yourself up!”

As Ayrin desperately continued his struggle, a light began to emerge within his body below his two already opened arcane gates as if a door was being slowly pushed open.

Ayrin’s face contorted and his eyes violently opened as he powerfully clutched his fists and jumped up from the ground.

“Ack!”

Stingham, who was in the process of eating a banana, was so shocked by Ayrin’s sudden awakening that he accidently shoved the entire banana into his mouth, causing his eyes to water.

“Damn it Ayrin, what are you doing?! Did you scare me on purpose? If that banana had killed me, wouldn’t I have died the most humiliating death in the history of Doraster’s arcane masters?!” Stingham dejectedly shouted as he gasped for air.

“Stingham, hurry and use your Water Dragon to hit me,” Ayrin said as he tried to figure out what Stingham was talking about.

“Eh?” Stingham froze, then immediately shook his head. “Forget it. Although you pranked me, I’m not so petty as to take revenge, right?”

“It’s not that. I want to figure something out,” Ayrin explained as he rubbed his eyes.

Stingham rolled his eyes as he said, “I have never received such a perverse request before.”

“Don’t you go around begging for others to hit you all the time?” Charlotte and the others thought. Stingham’s snide comment caused them to feel speechless.

“Water Dragon!”

There was a loud bang as Stingham invoked his skill following Ayrin’s insistence, sending Ayrin careening backwards out of a window.

A drenched, but seemingly full of energy Ayrin quickly reentered the hut as he shouted, “Alright! Have you rested enough, brave warrior Stingham? If so, let us depart once more!”
