Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 404: Save
Chapter 404 - Save
Vereesa couldn't help but scream in her heart:
"Am I going to die?"
"Is this the fear of death?"
"No! I don't want to die! I still have many places to go! I still have many landscapes to see!"
"How can I die here like this?"
"No—I don't want to die!"
"Who...who will save me?"
"Eldest sister! Second sister! Fourth sister——"
"Huh? Duke!?"
Like a drowning person about to die, Vereesa was a little crazy thinking. It's not that Vereesa is weak, but the ranger, a profession that is almost equivalent to the hunter, has too many limitations.
Forget about the hunter's signature skill Fake Death. The so-called Fake Death is just pretending to be a corpse to trick the enemy into thinking you are really dead and stop attacking you. The problem is that this dragon is now indiscriminately sweeping the ground with its destructive dragon breath.
There is no means to resist the fire element and no room to dodge, so one can only rely on one's own resistance to withstand it.
Can Vereesa handle it with her small body?
For a ranger whose core strengths are agility and evasion, when there is nowhere to hide, it is time to die.
No wonder Vereesa was desperate.
In the last less than a second, Duke performed a series of moves in one go that would dazzle anyone.
A special arcane explosion accurately blasted a rectangular hole in the mud that was large enough for Vereesa to hide in.
The soil was flying around, and with it the peculiar stench of swamp soil.
Duke grabbed Vereesa's shoulders like lightning, and with a strength and speed that Vereesa could not imagine, he pushed the still confused Vereesa into the hole, and seemed to have stuffed something into Vereesa's hands.
Almost at the same time, a huge icicle appeared out of nowhere and stuck into the mud between the dragon and the two of them.
After being pressed down by Duke as if she were lying in a coffin, Vereesa leaned against the ice bed that appeared out of nowhere. Her pure sky blue and perfectly almond-shaped eyes were wide open, looking at Duke in front of her in disbelief.
That moment almost lasted forever.
Vereesa swore that as long as she lived, she would never forget this moment - everything at the edge of her vision had been dyed golden red. The sky, the atmosphere, the dust, and the flying grass, everything was dyed with the same color of destruction.
She could clearly feel the extreme burning heat coming from across the earth and the ice bed.
She could almost see that in the next moment, he, who was at the center of her vision, would turn into ashes before her.
This handsome man who was almost as handsome as herself, the legitimate lover of her eldest sister, would die in front of her just to protect her?
A very clear feeling of heartbreak filled all her emotional space.
Looking at Duke's face that suddenly became extremely handsome and pleasing to the eye, Vereesa was completely stunned.
Duke gave her a reassuring look, then opened his right palm, stretched out his five fingers, and activated the Ice Barrier in front of her. A trapezoidal ice block that appeared almost out of thin air enveloped Duke, separating him and Vereesa.
refrigerator!
The mage's absolute defense!
Unless the difference between his own elemental power and that of his enemy is too great, the mage is invincible during this time.
The heavy weight of the ice pushed Vereesa underground, flattening and compacting every inch of the gap around her.
Because Vereesa had been pressed into this rectangular pit in advance, she was not directly squeezed by the ice. On the contrary, because of this, Vereesa became safer.
The extremely hot temperature descended, first to the head, then to the whole body, and the temperature from the soil became even higher. If just now I just felt like I was roasted on fire, now I felt like I was thrown into the crater of an active volcano that was violently erupting.
It was a horrible feeling that my skin was about to be burnt and stuck to the edge of the earth and rock pit just by touching it.
"Am I going to die?" Vereesa couldn't help but scream in her heart again.
However, through the transparent ice, she saw Duke, whose expression was frozen in the ice. It was a gentle, reassuring smile.
"If you knew that after all you did, I would still roast you to death, would you still smile so gently?" Vereesa continued to scream in her heart.
At this moment, Vereesa suddenly found that the palm of her right hand was glowing. She turned her head in astonishment and realized that it was a very rare epic-level triggered shield ornament. A soft light shield with a cold breath covered Vereesa like an eggshell, perfectly resisting the high heat coming from all directions.
Vereesa finally calmed down. She whispered softly, "Did you calculate this?"
There was no more threat, no more fear. Finally, Vereesa relaxed her nerves. She stretched out her left hand, rubbed it, and pressed the five fingers of Duke's outstretched right hand across the ice.
Her face was also pressed against the ice, enjoying this coolness that had special meaning.
After the mage's Ice Barrier is opened, the mage's entire body is fixed inside like an ice sculpture. The mage inside appears to have stopped everything, but in fact the mage's thinking has not stopped, and his vision and senses are still working. If necessary, the mage can also cancel the Ice Barrier in advance and regain freedom.
Duke did not do that.
Suddenly, the earth shook violently.
The earth is shaking and the sand and gravel are trembling.
Because... the thousand-year-old red dragon, which had already made its fatal blow, slammed into the soft ground like a crashing plane with incredible speed.
"Boom boom—"
A loud noise erupted right under Duke and Vereesa's feet, and the sound spread farther and farther away.
The giant dragon's huge body shoveled up countless soil and gravel, and splashed up countless swamp mud. I only heard the roar of the dragon shoveling the ground for several seconds, and then there was a brief pause, followed by the sound of violent rolling and collision - it seemed that after the giant dragon shoveled the ground for a while, it hit something like a big rock, and the shoveling turned into rolling.
How much time has passed?
Vereesa didn't know. She only knew that when everything was calm, the cool ice that was gently pressing on her body disappeared.
I don't know why, but the ten fingers that were overlapped across the ice were clasped together.
Two warm human legs were squeezed between Vereesa's long legs. Fortunately, at the last moment, Du pressed his left hand on the ice above Vereesa's right shoulder to avoid being pressed down by her. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
close!
So close!
So close that you can see every detail in each other's pupils and feel the breath coming out of each other's nostrils.
Their faces turned red all of a sudden.
Time seemed to freeze again.
Suddenly, an untimely shout from Gavinrad, a spectator, was heard from afar.
"Boss! Are you okay?"
