Chapter 477: A Hero Is Necessary To Save The Beauty

Veresa couldn't help shouting in her heart:

"Am I going to die?"

"Is this the fear of death?"

"No! I don't want to die! I still have a lot of places to go! I still have a lot of scenery to see!"

"How could I just die here?"

"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 drown, Veresa was thinking wildly. It's not that Veresa is weak, but that ranger, a profession that is almost equivalent to a hunter, has too many limitations.

Not to mention 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 that you are really dead and will not attack you anymore. The problem is that now this giant dragon is the destructive dragon's breath that washes the ground indiscriminately.

There is no way to resist the flame element, and there is no room to dodge, so you can only rely on your own resistance to carry it.

Can Veresa's small body handle it?

For rangers who focus on agility and dodge, when there is no way to hide, it is time to hang up.

It was no wonder that Veresa was desperate.

In the last less than a second, Duke made a series of movements in one go that dazzled anyone.

A special arcane explosion precisely blasted a large rectangular pit on the mud that was big enough for Veresa to hide in.

The soil was flying, and at the same time, there was also the peculiar stench of swamp soil.

Duke held down Veresa's shoulders like lightning, and pushed Veresa, who was still a little confused, into the hole with unimaginable strength and speed, as if something was stuffed into Veresa's hands .

Almost at the same time, a huge icicle appeared out of thin air and stuck in the mud between the dragon and the two of them.

After Veresa was pressed down by Duke as if lying in a coffin, she leaned against the ice bed that appeared at an unknown time, her pure sky blue and perfect almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and she looked at the front of her in disbelief. Duke.

That moment was almost eternity.

Veresa swore that as long as she lived, she would never forget this moment—everything on the edge of the horizon had been dyed golden red. The sky, the atmosphere, the rising dust, and the flying grass, were all painted the same color of destruction.

She could clearly feel the burning sensation coming from the ground and the ice bed.

She could almost see that in the next instant, he in the center of her vision would be reduced to ashes in front of her.

This handsome man who had almost the same beauty as her, this real 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 spaces.

Seeing Duke's face that suddenly became extremely handsome and pleasing to the eye, Veresa was completely stunned.

Duke gave her a reassuring expression, then opened the palm of his right hand, stretched out five fingers, and opened the [Ice Barrier] in front of her. A trapezoidal ice cube that was almost conjured out of thin air wrapped Duke, separating him from Veresa.

refrigerator!

Master's absolute defense!

Unless your own elemental power is too different from that of the enemy, the mage is invincible during this time.

And the heavy weight of the ice pushed Veresa to the ground, flattening and compacting every inch of the gap around Veresa.

Because Veraesa had already been pressed into this rectangular pothole beforehand, and was not directly squeezed by the ice, on the contrary, because of this, Veresa became safer.

An extremely hot high temperature descended, first from the head, then from the whole body, and the temperature from the soil became even higher. If I just felt that I was put on the fire to roast, then now the whole person is thrown into an active volcano that is violently erupting.

It was just touching the skin, and it felt like my skin was going to be scorched and stuck to the edge of the earth and stone pit.

"Am I going to die?" Veraissa couldn't help but yelled again in her heart.

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 you have done so much, I would still be roasted to death, would you still smile so softly?" Veresa continued to yell in her heart.

At this moment, Veresa suddenly noticed that the palm of her right hand was glowing, and she turned her head in astonishment, only to realize that it was a very rare epic-level trigger-type shield ornament. A soft mask with a cold breath covered Veresa like an egg shell, perfectly resisting the high heat from all directions.

Veresa finally calmed down, she whispered softly: "You also calculated this?"

There was no more threat, no more fear, and Veresa, who had finally relaxed her nerves, stretched out her left hand, stroked it, and pressed the five fingers of Duke's outstretched right hand across the ice.

Her face was also stuck to the ice, enjoying this special coldness.

After the mage's [Ice Barrier] is opened, the mage's entire body is fixed inside like an ice sculpture. The mage inside seemed to stop everything, but in fact the mage's thinking did not stagnate, and his vision and senses were still functioning. If necessary, the mage can also cancel the [Ice Barrier] in advance to restore freedom.

Duke didn't do that.

Suddenly the earth trembled violently.

The earth was shaking, and the sand and gravel were trembling.

Because... the thousand-year-old red dragon that had already made a dying blow shoveled on the soft soil like a crashed plane.

"Boom—"

A loud noise erupted at the soles of Duke and Veresa's feet, spreading further and further away.

The giant dragon's huge body shoveled away so much dirt and gravel, and splashed so much mud from the swamp. It felt like the roar of the dragon shoveling the ground lasted for several seconds, and then there was a short pause, followed by a violent tumbling The sound of collision - after the emotional dragon shoveled the ground for a while, it hit something like a big rock, and changed from shoveling to rolling.

How much time has passed?

Veresa didn't know anymore. All she knew was that when everything was calming down, the piece of cool ice that was lightly pressing on her body disappeared.

I don't know why, but the ten fingers overlapping the fingers across the ice surface clasped tightly.

Two warm human legs were squeezed between Veresa's long legs. Fortunately, at the last moment, Du put his left hand on the ice block above Veresa's right shoulder to avoid it. The whole person is pressed up.

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.

The faces of the two of them turned red all of a sudden.

Time seemed to freeze again.

Suddenly, Gavin Ladd's untimely shouts came from afar.

"Boss! Are you okay?"
