The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

"Wait, what is that?"

A dark shadow came to Zhong Zheng and blocked the deadly fireball for him.

The fire demon dissolved the light blade emitted by Zhong Zheng, but it was not easy, as his left arm was cut off by the light blade.

Just when he thought that Zhong Zheng would be burned to ashes by the fireball, he saw that the person who had been in charge of treatment below actually came in front of Zhong Zheng and blocked the attack that could take his life.

The fireball dissipated, and the two of them fell heavily to the ground like kites with broken strings.

After Yin Zhi saw the black shadow's appearance clearly, he roared and called out his name, "Li Xuan!"

Although Ah Tao's left arm was broken, he didn't show any sign of frustration. Instead, he laughed out loud, "Hahaha, you bunch of insignificant humans, now that even the strongest person is dead, you still want to struggle?"

Just when Ah Tao was enjoying his moment of victory, something unexpected happened.

A blue beam of light fell from the sky and landed directly on Atao's head.

Looking closely, they were actually Cade and Lichi.

Cade held Lichi in one hand, and white smoke was coming out of the other hand.

"More support?"

"Great, I don't have to die now, woooo~"

The morale of the elves and students was boosted.

Ah Tao emerged from the smoke and dust, staring at the two men in the air with a grim expression. He shouted in disbelief, "How is this possible? The space here is clearly sealed off. How could you possibly have gotten here from the other two flesh and blood altars?"

Cade did not answer the Flame Demon's words immediately, but first detected the life breath of Zhong Zheng and the other man who fell to the ground. After confirming that they were still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He said to Li Chi who was holding him, "He's not dead yet."

Li Chi also breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I knew he was an indestructible cockroach."

The Flame Demon roared, "You two are going too far!"

A fireball flew towards the two of them rapidly.

This fireball was just a tentative attack and was not very powerful. Cade raised his hand and emitted a blue beam of light to offset the fireball.

Li Chi said, "Put me down quickly so I can cast the spell. I'll leave that fire demon to you. Just hold him back!"

"You only know how to order people around. Let me make this clear. Even though this Fire Demon has a broken arm, he's still a high-level seventh-order being. I can hold him back for five minutes at most. If you can't do that later, we'll have to run away!"

Although Cade complained, his body was still honest and put Lichi on the ground, then took off directly and launched a fierce attack towards the flesh and blood altar.

In terms of strength, it is obviously a stupid move to confront the Fire Demon head-on. If you choose to fight with the Fire Demon, you will leave him with a clear gap. If he gets angry and attacks the wounded, then everything you do will be meaningless.

When the Fire Demon saw Cade attacking the Flesh and Blood Altar behind him without hesitation, he broke out in a cold sweat. He rushed to the Flesh and Blood Altar regardless of everything and blocked the attack with his body.

"You are such despicable humans. Is this all you can do?"

The Balrog's contempt did not make Cade feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he increased the frequency and intensity of his attacks.

In an instant, countless beams of light rushed towards the altar of flesh and blood.

However, this time the Fire Demon was well prepared and was not as embarrassed as before. He just opened his hands and countless fireballs appeared behind him, then accurately hit the flying beam of light.

The man and the fire demon continued to fight in the air.

"Sea of ​​the Dead!"

Skeletons crawled out of the ground.

As soon as Li Chi landed on the ground, he summoned an endless sea of undead, and used his numerical advantage to push away all the surrounding fire demons.

With the addition of the undead, the pressure on the students and elves was immediately reduced. Some of the undead were holding the front, and they finally had time to rest and recover their consumed strength.

After Li Chi released his skills, he immediately came to Zhong Zheng and Li Xuan.

Although Li Chi is a necromancer with a natural affinity for death, this does not mean that he has no means to save the dying and the wounded. On the contrary, the most basic requirement for a qualified mage is to have a huge reserve of knowledge.

In addition to necromancy, Li Chi is also well versed in healing magic.

After checking the conditions of the two, Li Chi began treatment.

During the examination, he found that apart from extensive burns, the two people had no other fatal injuries, and even their internal organs and brains were not seriously damaged.

You should know that the seventh-level fire demon's ultimate move can easily burn low-level demons to ashes even without direct contact.

Li Xuan and Zhong Zheng, who are now in a coma, only suffered skin burns, and one of them is a weakling of the fifth level. This is no different from a miracle.

Ginzhi and Jinping cooperated with each other, knocked away the surrounding fire demons, and quickly came to Lichi's side.

"Senior, how is Li Xuan? Can he be saved?" Yin Zhi couldn't help but ask.

Although Li Xuan had been told about the dangers of this operation at the beginning, no one expected that Li Xuan would actually sacrifice himself to withstand the Flame Demon's ultimate move. What's the difference between this and seeking death?

As senior brothers, they actually allowed their junior brother to suffer such harm. It was really dereliction of duty on their part. If Lei Long knew about this, he would surely scold them.

"I'm treating him, don't come near me! Guard the surroundings and don't let the aftermath of the battle reach here!" Li Chi said coldly.

Dealing with the undead for many years has made Li Chi look like he keeps strangers away. Except for Zhong Zheng and a few others, he is basically cold to others.

Ginzhi and Jinping finally breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that their junior brother was fine.

As for Li Chi's attitude, they didn't care much.

In addition, they knew that they really could not help, so they dispersed to both sides and began to protect Li Chi.

In Li Xuan's spiritual space.

He suddenly opened his eyes, only to find himself in a void space, with stars twinkling around him, as if he were in the universe.

Then he suddenly realized that he was not wearing a single piece of clothing, and there was no ground where he was, he was completely floating in the air.

Immediately afterwards, some of the starlight gathered together to form a little man of white light.

"Xiaobai?" Li Xuan asked uncertainly.

After the figure took shape, it shook its head helplessly and said, "Congratulations, host, for saving Zhong Zheng. His survival will have a profound impact on the future. After system evaluation, the host has earned a total of 1000 merits for this mission, taking you one step further on the path to sainthood. However..."

Li Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling. "Just what? I'm not going to die, am I? That shouldn't be the case. I clearly weakened the Flame Demon's attack significantly!"

[No, no. The host didn't die. Even I have to admit, the host's reaction time was astonishing. He channeled the power of his supernatural ability into himself, resisting the vast majority of the damage. If it were any other fifth-level transcendent, they would have been reduced to ashes.]

"Then why are you shaking your head?"
