It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

Chapter 110 Special Summoning

A dark haze enveloped the earth, obscuring the sky and the sun. If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then the poisonous haze in the hearts and minds of the people in this dormitory must have passed through this window and achieved its goal. No one, whether human or bird or beast, could escape the encroachment of this darkness.

The earth was swallowed by the black liquid, the blue sky was gradually occupied, and the little sunlight became almost gone. The man-made long night was born. And the instigator of all this was laughing wildly at Bai Lin.

Although the temperature didn't rise, he could sense a vast surge of magical energy, or rather, dark power. It grew ever more numerous and denser, transforming from invisible to tangible. If Bai Lin could still move, he would surely feel as if his body were trapped in the depths of the ocean.

Unfortunately, she was merely trembling in place. It wasn't out of any inner fear; Bai Lin felt lucid, but unable to control her body, she could only watch the darkness envelope her and the dragon's furious laughter. If I had to describe it, it would probably be a plot twist.

"What's wrong, human?" The dragon stopped laughing, as if he had vented all his anger. "Why aren't you moving?"

Bai Lin's face was dark, and she said nothing. Seeing this, Long couldn't help but land in front of her, staring at Bai Lin with his own eyes, and said in a charming and soft voice,

"Although resurrecting you would only cause more trouble, torturing you a little is a good option, hehe..." With that, the dragon extended its front claws and slowly struck at Bai Lin with a burst of fire. The dragon's whispers gnawed at the other's mind like a maggot, while its massive body formed an insurmountable barrier of darkness.

Just as the claw was about to strike Bai Lin, the hero's gun fell to the ground without warning. At the exact moment the dragon realized something was amiss, Bai Lin's right fist fiercely met the dragon's attack from beneath its front claw. The fierce collision unleashed a gust of wind that rippled through the dense darkness, leaving a new scar on the castle wall.

For unknown reasons, Bai Lin's helmet also shattered in two and fell to the ground. A confident smile appeared on her face, and her frivolous eyes seemed to be teasing her opponent. Three different emotions, seductive, natural, and innocent, mixed on her face, but there was not a trace of strangeness.

Bai Lin now seemed to have no trace of nervousness at all. Even after that clash of fists with the dragon, he seemed at ease. Although his strength had increased significantly, the change in his aura felt like a refreshing, natural breeze, carrying the scent of flowers, birds, and trees. It made one want to let go of everything and immerse themselves in the beauty of nature.

Even Kronostia was stunned for a moment by this change. She did not retract her claws or launch another attack.

"You were going to torture me, why did you stop?" Bai Lin said with a smile, "Well, since you're done, isn't it my turn to hit you a few times?"

He retracted his right fist slightly, maintaining his center of gravity, and delivered a swift jab with his left hand. Kronostia finally reacted. Although it was too late to counterattack with its claws, it still had its own countermeasures. The dragon released the flames surrounding it, weakening the opponent's attack through the impact while also attacking its main target.

Bai Lin's gauntlet dissolved instantly, and a beam of green light entwined around her hand, ready to strike. Seeing her disguise broken, Bai Lin quickly took a step back, retracting the beam of light as if to cover her ears and steal the bell, and did not continue the attack.

"It's you, indeed. Queen of the Elves, why on earth are you helping this human? I believe I have no grudge against you."

Chronostia narrated in an extremely calm tone. Although her heart was already in turmoil because of this sudden incident, she had no choice but to endure it because of the big plan.

Bai Lin stuck out his tongue. "I like her. Is this reason enough?"

"Stop joking!" Long slammed the floor. Chris symbolically shook twice in response to the shock wave caused by the other party, then raised her hands and got into position again.

"You're an old demon who's lived for hundreds of years. If you really fell in love with a human, there's no need to show off in front of me. You'll get what you want anyway, so why bother?"

Kress lowered her head slightly, her armor slowly peeling, twisting, and deforming, gradually transforming into a beautifully shaped, light armor that mostly covered only the vital parts, exposing a large amount of pure white skin. Although still the same deep wood color, it was many times more beautiful than Bai Lin's usual tin can suit.

A turquoise light, like gentle ripples on water, filled Bai Lin's eyes. Her white and golden hair flowed in the air without a breeze. Her exposed back, as white as cream, seemed out of place on this solemn battlefield, a fragile beauty. Lines resembling blossoms and trees slowly emerged on her back. While they resembled tattoos, there was no such thing in this world.

That was the "contract" she signed with Bai Lin.

Due to her own position and the limitations of the world, Chris cannot help Bai Lin, who is a human being, but under Bai Lin's "earnest pleading", she still gave her final proposal.

That is, to make Bai Lin her dependent.

As long as she is protected by her own race, then he has a legitimate reason to help Bai Lin, and he can even directly occupy her body and use it like he is doing now.

Such a strong body made Chris feel playful, so she chose to fight back with her fists, which was something she couldn't do with her own body.

After releasing her own strength, she slowly raised her head and looked at Long.

"Who knows? I think it might still be necessary."

As she spoke, Christina hopped twice on the spot, as if trying to get a feel for her legs, then raised her fist and began to step forward. Her left hand was fixed in a bow shape in front of her, and her right hand was hanging loosely, swinging up and down. This coordinated with her legs constantly shifting their center of gravity, made it difficult for her opponent to predict the direction of her next attack.

This boxing thing Bai Lin knows is really fun. Chris thought so, gradually accumulating strength for her first strike as she jumped.

The dragon roared in dissatisfaction, "So, you're determined to—" Before it could finish its words, Claire's figure flashed through the distance between them and arrived in front of the dragon. With just one leap, she achieved this.

A pair of enormous green wings had appeared behind her, their natural aura confirming her status as the Elven Queen. A flood of green light, accompanied by a gentle breeze, dispelled the darkness. At the same time, Kress delivered a powerful backhand punch, a powerful gust of wind that even caused the dragon's flames to dance.

Chapter 111 The Final Battle

If Bai Lin himself saw this operation, he would definitely frown and say something like, "That's not how boxing is used." However, while Chris was borrowing the body, she also brought with her own huge magic power, so she could naturally squander it and act according to her own ideas.

A perpetual wind, visible to the naked eye, slowly took shape in a pale green pattern, like the morning breeze that rustled the flowers and grass in the forest, condensing into a gale powerful enough to knock the old man down. The wings of light formed by the wind surge grew even stronger amidst the relentless gale. Hurricanes emanating from either side, accompanied by wild howls, drifted high, clashing with the tide of darkness.

Kress's lightning punch also struck Chronostia firmly. A shocking vortex-shaped wound appeared in the center of its body, and the dragon couldn't help but scream. Even the flames on its body were instantly blown in the opposite direction, but they were quickly swept back to defend itself.

The dragon was about to launch a counterattack, sweeping another claw sideways. Claire was prepared, taking two steps on tiptoe, then leaping onto the opponent's claw with a diving leap, and immediately throwing a powerful punch.

Boxing also has kicking techniques, but the kick is directed towards the ground, and the force of the kick is naturally amplified by the boxer's weapon - the fist.

After being struck in the neck, the dragon could no longer endure the torture that seemed like a battle. With a roar, flames spread out from its body, igniting even the gusting wind. A large explosion sent Chris flying. She gracefully flipped backwards, landing steadily on the ground. She brushed off the dust on her body, lowered her hands, and looked at the dragon.

"Ah, no more fun." Chris's tone suddenly dropped, each of her five words growing colder than the last. The winds of wind gathered around her, gradually returning to a state of calm, like a holy angel on duty, devout beside God.

However, Kress wasn't a god; all she possessed was absolute power. After a moment's stillness, the azure traces began to stir again. Their irregular, pulsating movements resembled more flames than wind. They lacked a burning medium; instead, they were simply fueled by the excitement of each syllable uttered between Kress's lips.

The natural winds swirled around more and more frequently, like rivers and ocean currents, accelerating and expanding. As the seemingly lovely pale green elves continued to flow and merge within this vortex, they no longer possessed the peaceful serenity that befitted their pale green appearance, transforming into sword-wielding destroyers.

The wind gradually expanded, encircling the Dark Dragon's territory. But for some reason, the dragon didn't take any action, not even exhaling, only roaring intermittently. If you look closely at its glowing claws, you can clearly see that the subtle trembling actually means—

fear.

The dragon retreated, driven by the wind. The chanting from Kress's voice grew louder and louder. Though it was an ethereal, melodious elven voice, even a bit playful due to the language itself, it was piercing to the dragon's ears. He knew that if he let her chant any longer, his life would be in danger.

Could that damned elf actually be so powerful, even with just a human body? The dragon glared fiercely, as if his eyeballs were about to fall out, filled with hatred, but he didn't dare to take any action.

Just as it was about to abandon the castle, a pair of enormous, radiant wings suddenly emerged from the wind field, piercing through the sky and earth. The light was so bright that even the dragon could not help but close its eyes. Angelic white wings, surrounded by a faint turquoise light, gradually disappeared from the wind field, revealing the kind face of Claire.

Angel's Tears

Nature has both a violent side and a compassionate one. By using the word "angel," Claire blended sacred syllables into her chant, addressing this cholera-stricken night. Suddenly, the relentless wind brought by the wings blew away the darkness, parting the clouds and mist to reveal a pale blue sky. Fragments of pale cyan light slowly fell from the sky, like rainwater nourishing the earth, only this time, it nourished people's hearts.

Even so, Kress's spell could only dispel the snowfield, and couldn't reach further afield. However, she had made preparations and left a "medium" in the ice forest.

That was our lovely and loyal guardian and mount, the sacred tree. It now floated above the lake, its branches immersed in the water, greedily absorbing the magical energy. Sensing the spread of Claire's magic, it radiated a traction of green light from its trunk, helping Claire expand the range of her spell and protect everyone in the forest and village.

"That's all I can do... Now it's up to you, Bai Lin." A gentle whisper from Chris reached Bai Lin's ears. She opened her eyes in a daze, and immediately saw the sunlight streaming down. She looked up at the sky, finally glimpsing the clear blue sky.

It worked...but where's Katie? Bai Lin looked around in panic.

"I'll send you out the door, don't worry." Chris's whisper sounded in Bai Lin's ears.

"Are you still there? Can you help me operate it? I feel my body is a bit heavy now..." Bai Lin asked immediately. In return, Chris replied angrily.

"I'm so exhausted I've fallen asleep in the pool, but I'm still able to support you like this, so just be content!"

"Okay, but is it really okay with so little armor?" Bai Lin could clearly feel that something was missing from the chill in her body. She slowly picked up the dragon spear on the ground beside her.

Kress was silent for two seconds, then Bai Lin felt a sharp pain in his back, and a large amount of pale golden light erupted from it. Before leaving, Kress added some sacred properties to the "mouth" in Bai Lin's body that outputs magic power. Although it was just a casual move, it was enough.

Although Bai Lin herself has no magic power, Chris still transmits the purest energy of the spring water to her through the connection with her followers. Although it is not her own and she cannot use it skillfully, it is more than enough to deal with this battle.

"I understand, but this doesn't seem to work well with my Gungnir." Bai Lin smiled bitterly.

"Stop talking nonsense and just listen to me!"

Chapter 112

As the darkness was dispelled by Cres's natural wind, Chronostia's body, which had swelled due to absorbing the darkness, shrank visibly. It stared with angry eyes, and the flames on its body were likely to erupt at any time, but at this moment, it laughed out loud.

"Elf Queen, I never thought you would prioritize protecting this land. If your attack were directed at me, my death would end the spread of the long night. It would simply leave this place barren for a hundred years."

"That's because she believes I can defeat you." She might not have been confident, but Bai Lin was the type to refuse to admit defeat. She held her spear horizontally, the tip pointing directly at the dragon.

The dragon laughed and flew up with a flap of its wings. Its loud voice echoed in the castle.

"Then let her see with her own eyes how wrong her trust was. I will tear you to pieces, human!"

Although Bai Lin could clearly sense that her opponent was much stronger than the dragon that had only been lying on the ground and firing laser cannons, she remained fearless, as she had no choice but to retreat. Revenge on herself wasn't a big deal, but if the opponent also attacked Katie, who was lying outside, that would be truly disastrous.

The flames on the dragon's body quickly coalesced, and the remaining dark mist around it instantly formed into vast magical arrays. The already dilapidated castle finally began to tremble, trembling in the constant temperature fluctuations and the impact of various large-scale spells. It was clear that this historic building would soon be unable to withstand the battle.

The pace of time was beating rapidly in Bai Lin's heart. She took a deep breath of the air filled with gunpowder smoke, and used her powerful consciousness to drive her heavy legs again, and leaped into the air with a nimble figure.

"Hurry up and finish it, Bai Lin. I don't have much time left to come." Chris said in a low voice.

"Got it, don't rush me!" Bai Lin shouted back, taking advantage of the moment when the detached shield regained its momentum in the air. With a sideways leap, she distanced herself from the dragon's breath. The purple-black flames blew a large dent in the ground, but she was no longer paying attention to the power of her opponent's attack.

Whether it was the shaking of the building, Chris's whispers, or the spells her opponent was casting, everything urged Bai Lin to keep going, a urgency that struck her soul. She knew she couldn't relax even a little bit and had to kill her opponent without stopping.

Her body, which had been floating in the air, was already on the verge of its limit. The pain from overusing her muscles had affected key parts of her back and thighs. Various severe weight-bearing behaviors, such as falling from a high altitude, also made her knees wail. Despite the treatments provided by Katie and Chris, her condition had not fully improved.

Fortunately, for some reason, after changing into this slightly erotic light armor, Bai Lin's movements became much smoother. Not to mention the weight, the stretching of the joints and the movement of the shoulders were no different from exerting force naked. One had to admit that the changes made by Claire were not completely useless.

After Bai Lin stepped on the shield a second time, turning and accelerating, the dragon's eyes focused as it activated its spell. Instantly, another series of high-temperature cutting lines spread across every corner of the castle. However, unlike the previously flawless white lines, this time, the black lines still had dancing flames on them. The heat distorted the air everywhere, making it difficult for Bai Lin to determine the correct location of the black lines.

Thousand Killings Coffin

After the black line appeared, it began to shrink rapidly. Bai Lin was forced to immediately change her path, seeking a spot with the fewest lines. Then, Long exhaled again, blocking Bai Lin's path. Although she immediately adjusted her direction by raising her spear, it was too late to choose another direction to break through.

There was no other choice but to face it head-on! Bai Lin, like a gymnast jumping over a pole in the air, moved her body in an undulating position, from feet low to head high to head low to feet high, crossing several black lines. However, the result of doing so was that her body was in a falling position, making it difficult to adjust the direction.

So, Bai Lin had no choice but to wield his spear. Without an exit, he could only create one. Black flames collided with each other, but the fire on the black line was different from the white line. It wrapped around the spear like a maggot attached to the bone. The sudden heat made Bai Lin feel painful, but fortunately, an invisible barrier seemed to appear on his body, isolating the bursts of flames and improving the situation.

"I've modified the armor specifically for this battle. You just need to focus on attacking. If there's something that neither I nor the armor can defend against, then there's no point in you worrying about it." Chris explained.

Bai Lin was too exhausted to reply. After barely breaking through the thinnest line of defense, she used the resistance created by the contact between the spear tip and the black line to redirect her body. With both feet firmly planted on the shield, she charged toward the dragon once more. She looked up and saw the familiar purple, claw-shaped wall of fire encroaching upon her.

Deathstroke

After using the circle to counter, Bai Lin still slightly staggered his body, breaking through the flame barrier from a slightly sideways direction. Bai Lin, rising straight up in the air, had no chance to dodge flexibly. Long was well aware of this, so the farther away from the starting point, the less vulnerable he would be.

As expected, after escaping the scorching flames, a blast as swift as lightning struck Bai Lin from her right. She didn't dare pause, and tried to avoid the breath by flipping in mid-air. However, she saw the dragon chasing her, looking at Bai Lin with a confident look.

No wonder the breath can be pulled so quickly, it's because the main body is moving. I should have thought of it sooner...

The moment Bai Lin's eyes met the dragon's, he internally admitted his mistake. Facing such an opponent, being directly hit by this blast of fire would definitely result in instant death. There was no other possibility.

"Then why don't you give me your output before you die!" Kress roared in her heart, and this voice instantly made Bai Lin sober up. Yes, I can revive it, but it can't. It would be a loss if I don't fight it.

Although Bai Lin had already imagined herself being engulfed in flames, and she was certain of the inevitable outcome, she still had to fight tooth and nail, even at the cost of her life. The black and red flames ignited from the spear tip represented the hero's undying ambition in battle!

Chapter 113 Red Lotus Dragon Flame

The remaining strength that had not yet dissipated was maximized through her resilient body. The forced increase in the duration of the airborne time pushed Bai Lin's waist muscles to the limit of their endurance. It was obvious that she could not hold on for much longer.

But just a short moment may be enough.

Compared to the dragon's breath and the flames in Bai Lin's hands, inconspicuous rays of holy white light flowed from every corner of Bai Lin's armor, flowing as smoothly as cream. The light was clear and indifferent, like a cup of light tea inserted into a gluttonous feast. Though it shouldn't be conspicuous, it stood shoulder to shoulder with the devastating force at this moment.

The cascading liquid slowly took shape, a profusion of ornate borders extending the skirt. The multi-swinging back veil floated in the air like a cape, and the light emanating from her arms blended with the black and red flames, forming a pair of unusual sleeves.

And all of this was accomplished in a mere moment. Such a complex spell, yet Claire completed it without using her body. The white light would eventually serve as a foil to the black and red, dancing fiercely as an extension of the flames in the impending collision.

Flanders' evening gown

In most religious beliefs, a girl's chastity has always been a sacred symbol. In this otherworldly world, it has even evolved to the point where it affects spellcasting. Bai Lin's body perfectly accommodates the expansion of sacredness, including her appearance and body; everything about her is embraced by this holy light.

Therefore, with the help of Cress, she was able to add the flames of the holy light into this attack filled with infinite killing intent. And this attack, which was full of contradictory elements, naturally had a form that matched it.

Amidst the mingled flames, a massive magic circle inscribed with intricate runes slowly emerged from six inches of Gungnir's body. The inscriptions were connected by overflowing magical power, and the sense of detachment that gradually emerged from the water was unexpectedly manifested within the intense flames. It was a magnificent red lotus, crisscrossed with black cracks, yet a hint of white light preserved its vitality.

Red Lotus Dragon Flame

Like a long-distance runner's final sprint, Bai Lin, pumping all his strength into the gun, flung it from his hand. The dragon, unceremoniously, pierced Bai Lin's body with its breath, showing no intention of dodging the attack. It seemed it had also made its own decision.

Bai Lin's gaze was gradually drawn away by the scorching breath of fire. The immense force sent her flying like a tattered sack. The white light of her dress and the shield powered by Claire did their best to neutralize the flames. But despite their fierce resistance, Bai Lin was inevitably blasted through the wall, finally crashing into the castle's gate. She fell helplessly to the floor, completely unconscious.

The dress gradually slipped away from her body, leaving only the battered armor. But in the end, the hero did not die.

A hot breath brought Bai Lin's consciousness back from her coma. When she lay on the ground and opened her eyes weakly, she saw a dragon using its breath to break through the wall of the castle, looking down at her from above with anger and complacency.

A massive wound appeared across Kronostia's abdomen, much like the one inflicted by the dragon rider. Gungnir lost its radiance, lodging in the dragon's torn flesh like a fishbone stuck in its throat. Though horrifying to watch, it didn't seem to affect the dragon's movements at all.

Bai Lin was very familiar with this scene. The dragon knight had also been defeated after having his weapon taken away from him after this attack.

"History is such a repetitive wheel, hahahahaha. Even if you can be resurrected, what can you do without weapons that can hurt me?"

After a brief sigh, Long couldn't help but laugh arrogantly. Bai Lin still wanted to be tough, but he didn't have the strength to move a finger. Had he finally failed in his supposedly perfect blow?

That's right... how could a boss enter its second stage and be instantly killed by a single, full-health attack? You were overconfident after all. There was no news of Kress either, probably because the connection had been severed. Bai Lin, sprawled on the ground, coughed up blood. It was obvious that he had sustained internal damage from such a shock.

Even more terrifying than the burning pain was the icy numbness that emanated from every part of her body, a coldness that left her with no control over her own body, a coldness that only responded with pain. Bai Lin was in this exact situation, and she had never felt so desperate.

There was no massive internal bleeding in her body, so it could be determined that her blood vessels had not burst directly, and her heart was functioning slowly, but she could clearly feel the various bones inserted into her internal organs, causing her consciousness to gradually drain away.

Despite this, Bai Lin still felt that his life was still very long - at least five minutes.

"How do you feel, hero? After your weapon was taken away, you were lying on the ground like an ant. This must be a tough feeling."

"Fuck you." This was the last word Bai Lin could muster. Although it wasn't a universal curse word, seeing Bai Lin so anxious, Long laughed happily. He flapped his wings and flew to the center of the castle, spreading his wings.

Suddenly, the entire castle began to tremble, and a torrent of rubble and stone rained down from within. The rapidly heating air gradually took on a series of twists and turns, slowly taking on the purple-black hue that slowly emerged from the wings of a dragon. A blinding light swirled before Bai Lin's dim eyes, filling the sky as she saw it. She seemed to behold a world constructed of flames.

"This is the final blow. Although I haven't yet understood the principle of your resurrection, you always appear next to that flower. This time, I will bury it and my unfilial daughter who is unconscious outside!"

"I will completely crush your hopes!"

When Bai Lin heard Katie's name being called, his eyes widened immediately, his eyeballs filled with anger and bloodshot. He looked like he wanted to stand up and give Long a hard blow, but he could only lie on the ground.

A textbook once described a beautiful sunset glow as flames. But when flames truly took over the world like the sunset glow, right before our eyes, it was truly not a pleasant sight. Furthermore, this seemed to be nothing more than the starting gesture of a dragon spell.
