493 Jins Decisive Actions (2/2)
Sterfen laughed as well, ”You should've seen Halmut's face. He healed immediately but was completely caught off guard by Jin's move. Even in death, Jin refused to give Halmut any satisfaction.”
”Sounds like him, alright…” Lunara sighed. ”But doesn't this mean--”
”Yes, Jin will have to start over. But he chose that so we'll just blame him. Besides, I'm sure Jin will take the blame for his loss, even if he got overpowered,” Sterfen added, tossing Jin's lifeless body to Dragas. ”Would you mind?”
”Sure.”
Holy light left Dragas's hand and flooded into the corpse. Gradually, the six stab wounds sealed themselves and pink returned to Jin's cheeks. With a few coughs of stale blood, Jin found himself very much alive, again.
”Oh… So he agreed?” Jin asked, looking to Sterfen and the others while still being held up by Dragas.
Shaking his head, Sterfen chuckled. ”You're reckless idea worked like a charm. Of course, Halmut would never accept a fair trade and requested Naparn's sword as well.”
”Right… How did you get that, anyway?”
Sterfen replied, ”We'll explain later when Eedaj and everyone gets back. For now, let's watch Bowzer kill his first dragon.”
The four gods contacted Eedaj and informed them of Jin's return, but they didn't want to miss the show taking place below. Smiling, Sterfen was excited to see the newly-leveled-up Bowzer take on and overpower the lv. 87 Magma Dragon.
On his separate battlefield, Bowzer was confused and excited at the same time. Earlier, he had suddenly gained two and a half levels. The fox was unsure as to why but he was glad to have the sudden boost. And moments ago, he gained another level and a half. Now, Bowzer was at the top of lv. 85 and about to enter lv. 86.
The Magma Dragon was cautious as ever but felt more uneasy. It could tell that Bowzer's attacks had gotten stronger not once but twice. Unable to know about Bowzer's radical, uncommon leveling, the Magma Dragon went all out.
Lava cascaded along the Magma Dragon's body as it roared and charged the Hell-flame Fox head-on. Even greater plumes of lava rocketed out of its mouth.
Black and withe flames grew larger as Bowzer also charged ahead. The fox was unafraid of the potential impact. Bowzer knew how his flames held up preciously at lv. 81. Now that he was lv. 85, Bowzer showed no hints of fear or hesitation. More of his small fireballs collided with the lava, overpowering the magma and threatening the Magma Dragon.
While the Magma Dragon was shocked by such a drastic change in Bowzer's abilities, it was too late. His charge met Bowzer's not even a second later. The black and white flames battled the heated magma, overwhelming it and enveloping it.
Roars and cries rang out as the Magma Dragon, for the first time in its life, experienced what it was like to be burned.
More and more sand melted as Bowzer cranked up the heat as much as he could. Bowzer bit into the Magma Dragon's throat while the Magma Dragon tried to claw and force Bowzer to release it. But Bowzer growled and released fireball after fireball into the Magma Dragon's neck at point-blank range.
