Chapter 283: The Weapon Left Behind (2/2)
Edmund closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable to happen, but it never came. All he heard was the furious below of the Dragonoid, followed by a muffled cry from behind him.
He opened his eyes in disbelief and found Bard and Audun standing in front of his, their glaives in their hands and their Qi at its highest. Due to his shock, he only noticed that the monster holding him had turned into a sliced and diced vegetable.
Edmund felt warm and delicate hands holding him up and wiping the blood off of his face. He saw the angelic face of his fellow Elder, Becky gazing back at him with tears in her eyes.
”You're crying for this old man?” Edmund mustered out the words with a smile. ”I can die happy right now, hahaha.”
”You don't have to die,” she said. ”No one needs to die, it's finished. All preparations are over. You just need to drink some potions.”
The smooth and cold sensation of Ed's potions couldn't have felt any better for Edmund's sore and burned throat. He could feel his Qi and body revitalize with every drop. At the same time, the ground beneath started to glow blue with bits and pieces of it flying upward towards the sky.
The Dragonoid felt something coming and tried to run away, leaving behind its minions to face whatever he dreaded. However, Bard and Audun swooped down and knocked him back to the ground.
”You're not going anywhere!” they shouted.
The glow synchronized with their shout and intensified; the whole city and its surroundings were surrounded by the glow. All of a sudden, the monsters, Dragonoid, Edmund and his fellow Elders appeared in the middle of a wasteland, thousands of kilometers away from Avalon and Glory sect.
”How do you like our surprise, little lizard,” Edmund stood up and took his black spear into his healed hand. ”This is a weapon, left to us by the strongest man in this world. Want to hear his exact words when he left it to us? Whenever you feel like you will lose, use it and it will come to you.”
Far from their locations, they could hear thunderous noises as something was closing in on them.
”It will burn all your enemies and turn them to ashes, for it is always angry it could not exact its revenge,” Edmund continued. ”Avalon has, and will always have allies everywhere in the world.”
As Edmund finished, a black dragon, the black calamity dragon, Entei, descended behind him. It raised its head and gazed at the black smoke covering the skies and roared at it. Its flames split the skies apart and broke open to reveal the beautiful blue sky and white clouds.
