Reylin also used too much of his mana already... His Crimson Armor was used for the second time because he had been saving his energy... That wouldn't last long!
He expected his enemy to be someone like Zamram, for example.
The last boss for the current arc, King Julian, bared his repulsive monster at Reylin!
Using his specter, King Julian controlled his 'creation'. That monster's disgusting hands extended toward Reylin.
At the same time, its scream full of grief and pain swept through the Crimson Dragon.
Reylin stepped forward.
He protected Princess Rose with his body, so no hand or cry would bypass him to reach her! His eyes flashed with scarlet fire, his hands bursting out with crimson flames. Those flames were naturally due to the flamethrower skill!
Those flames splashed and stopped the enemy's invasion for some time.
However, the monster's cries still rang out in Reylin's ears.
[You can not use Fire Wrath.]
[You can not use Fire Greed.]
'It's not like I plan to waste more mana,' Reylin was well versed in the first one.
He could summon flames within his eyesight and make a surprise attack. However, the second one was stolen from Hans. That greed was not something Reylin could use seamlessly as his first emotion.
King Julian stared at that clash.
He didn't want to make any move and approach Reylin. It was pretty risky, and he was candid about it. No one knew how pure and kind of bloodline Reylin possessed, so it would be better to use creation first.
King Julian inferred that his summon would soon grab Reylin and utterly destroy his armor with its hand...
Naturally, he also saw his creation's messages to Reylin's system.
"Fire Greed... It's such a waste that it has fallen into your hands... Our ruler and number one talent in our Nerven Race, Adal, is the sin of gluttony. It's not a mere branch like yours... He is the sin of gluttony," King Julian sighed, "I had so many hopes for Hans... Alas, he met the fire weirdo."
"Do you perhaps believe I somehow grasped the genuine sin's powers?" Reylin smiled as he stared into King Julian's eyes.
He was kinda surprised that this king hadn't made any move so far.
King Julian chuckled, "You can't leave this place. No matter what you do, you can't match the experience Zamram has gathered. He even challenged your ascended... That's a son I am proud of."
"If he suddenly gets a change of heart, he will be one of your good puppets," Reylin smirked, pouring some salt onto King Julian's heart.
It would be a waste should his son really change his heart due to the existence behind his back!
King Julian nodded.
He put more mana into his summon, turning things more difficult for Reylin.
The flames no longer stopped the repulsive hands, and those slowly advanced toward him and Princess Rose!
Reylin spat, "That's not how I should buy time... I have been acting out of character for too long!" He rushed forward despite everything against him!
"SHOWTIME BITCH!" He cursed and punched forward, with flames bursting out his armor, "Hahahaha!"
[You have learned Crimson Dragon's Roar!]
[Your Crimson Dragon's Roar has silenced the enemy's screams.]
Maya hadn't logged into the game ever since her talk with Reylin.
Her heart hurt, and she really wanted to go to this world and help its people. However, it was still a game world. Those people weren't real, and risking her life and future for them seemed superficial.
She should do much better things.
Alas, all Maya did was lay on the sofa.
She held the phone above her face and watched a lot of streams.
She couldn't watch them for too long, though.
That was why Maya was just switching from one stream to another.
Despite the news released by Lioness and her family, people still lunged into the game and played it as if it was their 'better life'. People had long since established many income sources, and dark matter's event hadn't stopped many.
Maya ended up in one of the empty streams. It was an empty stream because it had no viewers, and the poor guy was talking to himself.
However, the events he saw widened Maya's eyes.
"That was Crimson Dragon! Holy yes! I will make a video about it! Haha! Hmm... Isn't that the princess? He's chasing some dark matter, guys!" That streamer commented loudly, imagining a lot of people watching his stream.
He followed the absurd existences toward the unique dungeon.
He stared at them going to the pitfall, then gulped down... It seemed like the dark matter people did something to the dungeon as a cage scattered across the pitfall's lid. It was pretty thrilling, so the guy camped and made sure to record everything.
He then shrieked, "King Julian! If Crimson Dragon gets killed by him, won't he be in a coma? T-This is!"
The stream ended as the guy went to make a video about his finding.
However, Maya heard his words well.
No...
Even if that player didn't say anything, she would've thought the same.
If King Julian manages to kill Reylin, he would be in a coma! How many years would it take for him to wake up?
And how much life around them would change in those years?
Maya's heart clenched.
She promptly stood up and rushed to her VR Helmet.
"You can't die, Reylin... You can't...." A hero put the helmet on her head, then the Faynom World brightly welcomed her in.
Many players blinked at her sudden appearance as the hero was offline for some time already.
Maya ignored all and rushed toward the pitfall dungeon.
She just left a message in her guild about Reylin and the dungeon!
It would take some time for guild members to gather, so Maya didn't even wait for them. She charged toward the dungeon with her greatest speed, then her golden mana tore through the dark obstacles as if paper.
Zamram, who saw that from a hidden spot, shivered with disbelief, "This girl... She is the one who can wield Crimson Dragon's Mana! Has she awakened something within her? It has to be it... Otherwise, how can she casually overcome my system traps?"
Both the hero and King Julian's most prominent son headed down to look at the showtime going on here...
