Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Battle Against the Dark Knight, the Final Counterattack

George wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.

Boom!

A huge impact. Aaron’s giant sword blocked, and it sent Constantine flying back, but he wasn’t seriously hurt.

This guy was definitely hurt. The two hits just now probably used up most of his Strength.

“Take the high-level enhancement potion!” George quickly called out.

The last time he helped Emily and the others, he got a lot of high-level enhancement potions.

Elise and the others didn’t hesitate. They took the Damage Amplification Potion, the Life Enhancement Potion, the Magic Enhancement Potion…

Their overall strength improved a lot.

That wasn’t all. George directly activated the battle will of the Jason General Medal. The team’s overall strength went up by another 30%.

“You really got Jason’s medal!” Aaron noticed the medal on George’s chest and roared in anger.

This medal was the key to entering the Skyforge Empire’s treasure area.

He killed Jason, even turned him into a puppet, but he never got this medal. He never expected it would end up in the hands of this human.

“Die! I’ll take that medal from you!” Aaron swung his long sword and sent another wave of sword energy.

“Don’t worry about me, I can dodge it,” George said. His demon wings appeared behind him, and he flew up into the sky, barely avoiding the incoming sword energy.

He noticed that Aaron’s legs were rotting and he couldn’t move.

And he couldn’t fly either.

“Melina, protect the master,” Elise wasn’t sure, so she reminded, then rushed at Aaron.

“I’ll take care of the master.”

Melina answered, holding her spear and staying close to George, never letting him out of her sight.

“Roar!”

A dragon’s roar, and a whole sky of dragon fire came down again.

Elise quickly used her magic attack.

The strong energy once again covered Aaron.

“Hey, watch where you’re throwing your attacks. You might hit me,” Constantine complained. He had no long-range attacks, and he had to run away from the Golden Flame Dragon and Elise’s attacks.

“Damn it! I’ll turn you all into puppets and keep you in the Graveyard of Death forever!”

Aaron kept roaring, looking really messy.

With the enhancement potions and the battle will, this time he lost tens of thousands of HP.

Elise and the others were now a real threat.

But they still weren’t careless. A 60-level Count, and his stage was even at the SSR tier boss. If he made a final counterattack, he could still be dangerous.

“Die!”

“Rage!”

Constantine roared, and in the gap between Elise’s attacks, he grabbed his War Hammer and slammed it down.

Boom!

A big explosion. Aaron barely blocked it with his sword, but he fell to the ground and lost over 70,000 HP again.

“Ants!”

He was furious. If it weren’t for the risk of fusing with the ancient god’s bones and getting attacked back, how could he be surrounded by these guys and have no way to fight back?

“Hmph, what a Count, not that great after all,” Constantine felt more confident and swung his giant hammer again.

“Break through!” Aaron’s eyes were cold. He shouted, and his sword cut through, sending a wave of sword energy.

“Be careful!” George quickly warned.

He could feel the power of Aaron’s skill attack. It was definitely something Constantine couldn’t take head-on.

Constantine also sensed the danger and tried to dodge.

Rip!

But he was still a little too slow. Blood sprayed, and one of his demon wings was almost torn apart.

“Ugh…” He winced in pain and quickly flew up into the sky, putting some distance between himself and the fight.

Boom boom…

The explosions kept coming. Elise and the Golden Flame Dragon’s attacks landed again.

“Lowly creep!”

Aaron roared, but he had no choice but to take the hits.

Constantine was flying in the air, not daring to attack yet, waiting for the right moment.

“Constantine, summon demons and undead creatures to hold this guy down,” George called out from a distance.

“Oh right! I almost forgot about that skill,” Constantine’s eyes lit up with excitement.

“Dark Abyss Field!” He shouted, and dark energy surged around him, creating a dark realm.

Soon, a bunch of powerful demons and undead soldiers appeared.

His strength had improved, and the monsters he summoned were now level 30. They weren’t bosses, but there were so many that they could easily trap the immobile Aaron.

“Hmph, do you think this can beat me? You’re dreaming!”

Aaron looked at the incoming monsters with a sneer, then swung his sword.

“One Strike Shatters a Thousand Enemies!” He roared, and a huge wave of sword energy shot out, tearing through the monsters that came at him. They couldn’t even get close.

But before he could attack again, Elise and the Golden Flame Dragon’s magic attacks came down once more.

Boom boom…

“Agh! Bastard!” Aaron was in a mess, roaring in anger, but he couldn’t do anything. He easily dodged the sword attacks.

Before he could fight back, a bunch of monsters rushed in.

Constantine’s summoned creatures were weak, but they were in huge numbers. Even if they were killed, he didn’t care.

…

This went on and on. Aaron’s HP kept dropping, and soon he had less than 1 million HP left.

A few more attacks would finish him for sure.

“Even if I die, I’ll take you guys with me!”

Now he was wild-eyed, his armor cracked all over.

He ignored Elise and the Golden Flame Dragon’s magic attacks and locked his cold eyes on George in the distance.

“Earth Shattering Slash!” Aaron shouted, and he slashed down hard at the ground.

Boom!

A huge explosion. The stone platform cracked, and molten rock flew everywhere.

Using the powerful recoil, Aaron jumped into the air and rushed toward George.

“Shit!”

Constantine and the others turned pale. They realized what he was trying to do, but it was already too late to stop him.

But Melina had been guarding George all along.

She stepped forward without hesitation and swung her spear, facing Aaron with no fear.

“Die. Skyfall Slash!” Aaron’s face was cold. He sent a few waves of sword energy, surrounding George and Melina.

Melina saw the incoming sword energy. Her expression was calm, her eyes full of determination. She would die before letting Aaron hurt George.

“Holy Light Descends!” She whispered, and a bright light came down, hitting Aaron.

Boom!

The sword energy and the light collided in a massive explosion. The force knocked Melina and George flying.

Then the light was destroyed by the sword energy. Melina couldn’t hold back Aaron’s final attack.

More sword waves came, fast and deadly.

George held the Abyss Realm Access Pass, ready to escape at any moment. But Elise and the others were too far away. If he left them behind, there could be a big problem.

“Frozen Expanse!” He gritted his teeth and cast a Frost Mage skill, trying to freeze Aaron and his attacks.

Crack!

The ice shattered in an instant. The sword waves kept coming.

“Dammit…”

His heart was full of despair. All he could do now was pray that Melina could block the sword energy.

Plop…

Blood sprayed, and Melina was sent flying back, falling toward the ground.

“Melina!”

George gritted his teeth and rushed to catch her as she landed. Then he felt a sharp pain behind him—his demon wings were cut off, and he fell helplessly toward the ground.

“Master!”

“Lord!”

“Roar!”

Elise and the others were furious, rushing toward Aaron without thinking.

“Hmph, ants. Even if I die, I’ll kill this human!”

Aaron’s face was twisted with madness, his expression terrifying. He also fell toward the ground, but without hesitation, he launched one more Skyfall Slash.

A wave of sword energy shot out, surrounding Elise and the others.

Plop…

Blood flew through the air. The group couldn’t take it. Only the Golden Flame Dragon managed to dodge the attack and rushed forward.

“It’s too late. Die, Soul Devour!”

A twisted strength凝聚 in Aaron’s hand, and it shot toward George.

“It’s a soul attack!”

George’s face paled. Soul attacks were strange and powerful. He had no way to defend.

It was over.

He closed his eyes in despair.

Then, a golden figure flashed. The Golden Flame Dragon appeared in front of him in an instant.

The soul attack followed closely, instantly wrapping around the small creature.

“Roar…”

The dragon let out a pained roar, its life force quickly fading.

It had already been injured, and losing HP continuously had nearly killed it before George rescued it and made a pact with it.

Now, hit by Aaron’s soul attack, it was critically injured.

“Golden Flame Dragon!”

George was terrified. He quickly pulled the dragon into his arms.

This little creature was the most promising of his summoned beasts. It couldn’t die.

“Damn it! Die!”

Elise and Constantine saw this and were furious. Their attacks became even more violent.

“Damn it!”

Aaron was angry. He had wanted to kill George, but instead, the dragon had blocked it.

It was too late for him to act. A flood of attacks hit him, and his HP dropped rapidly.

“I never thought I’d die at the hands of a few ants. I won’t accept this…”

Aaron roared, but there was nothing he could do.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have dared to fuse with the ancient god’s bones. He could have easily killed them.

Boom!

A massive explosion shook the ground. The stone platform cracked, and molten rock poured out.

Under the furious attacks from Elise and the others, Aaron couldn’t take it anymore. His remaining HP was wiped out instantly, and he was dead.

The prompt flashed, but George didn’t care. He looked down at the Golden Flame Dragon in his arms, worry in his eyes.
