This was Romo’s first transformation to the third stage. The energy contained in his body far surpassed his imagination. He even felt that he was about to reach the Land of Longevity.
Just as he was about to transform, Romo even felt his body enter the Land of Longevity. He could also see a glimpse of a corner in the Land of Longevity.
The Land of Longevity was a dreamland for all those who cultivated magical power. One would be extremely honored to get a glimpse of it.
Although Romo had not completely entered the Land of Longevity, this kind of explosive energy, which he had exchanged for with his life, was a very precious experience for him. It even surpassed all his experiences in coming to the cave this time. This trip could already be considered a success.
With a loud bang, Romo and Gajeel were sent flying with their collision. Romo flew in the air and landed beside a stone pillar.
“It’s time to end this.” Romo got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth. He looked around and smiled.
When everyone saw this, they all believed that Gajeel’s energy had been powerful enough to cause Romo to bleed, but only Romo knew that this was due to the side effects from reaching the third stage.
The third stage of the transformation was not like the first two stages, which were still within Romo’s tolerance range. Romo felt that he was almost unable to withstand the third stage of the transformation. The fight with Gajeel also seemed to be a battle of attrition.
After the third stage transformation, there would be a huge and irreversible effect on one’s body. If one was lucky, one could suffer a reduction of one’s energy, but if one was unlucky, one’s life could end directly.
Currently, Romo’s situation was such that he had to fight with his life on the line against Gajeel.
However, Romo did not care about the changes in his physical body at all. Even though his face was rapidly aging, Romo had only consumed the life force of this temporary physical body. It had nothing to do with his own life force.
It was precisely because Romo had thought of all this that he was able to wantonly use this energy to reach his peak state.
Romo was perhaps the only person in the world who could toy with the transformation in such an unexpected way.
Romo turned around and looked at Harris and the others, who had been watching the battle, and felt that the time had come.
Although what you would see is completely different from what I had intended, my ultimate goal is to save all of you. I hope you won’t disappoint me in the future.
For Romo, it was also possible for him to dash out directly. However, this would be more troublesome. Even if he could get out himself, he would have to rest for the next two days and be not able to do anything.
In fact, Romo had his own considerations in doing this. First, he could destroy Gajeel’s secret base and also finish off the demons altogether. Second, since he had to flee in such a sorry state, he might as well make it a heroic sacrifice and leave a good reputation in the minds of Harris and the others.
It could be seen that Gajeel was no longer able to suppress his anger. He was charging toward Romo. Romo also clearly knew that Gajeel had been so excited because of his desire for his physical body and his obsession with finding a suitable physical body.
Seeing Gajeel like this, Romo’s thoughts ran wild.
After all, he had once been a powerful expert of peak level. I didn’t expect him to fall into such a sorry state because of a single mistake.
Although Romo had a flash of sympathy for Gajeel in his mind, it did not stop his murderous intent toward Gajeel. Confronted with Gajeel who was charging at him, Romo also charged forward in his direction.
While he had not used any special magical attack, Romo also did not expect his physical body to suddenly erupt with a powerful energy.
Led by the powerful energy, Romo collided with Gajeel and caused the other party’s skin to split open. At the same time, dazzling light burst out from his body, blinding Romo until he could not open his eyes.
While Romo and Gajeel were engaged in an intense battle, the few people below were also engaged in a fierce fight with the zombies, but they also diverted their attention to keep track of Romo’s progress in real time.
Suddenly, Harris realized that something was wrong in the sky and shouted, “Everyone, be careful! Mage Romo is about to explode!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the five of them erupted simultaneously with all their energy and made defensive moves to prevent themselves from being injured.
Strangely enough, the energy this time was so strong that even the mindless corpses seemed to have sensed it. In that instant, they stopped attacking and looked in the same direction where Romo had exploded.
A powerful energy suddenly erupted in the air. With a loud bang, everyone on the ground felt an immensely powerful energy. The entire space was trembling.
Even the four indestructible pillars had collapsed. Without the support of the pillars, the ceiling of the cave gradually collapsed, and the entire space was on the verge of collapse.
And this loud sound not only affected the few of them physiologically, producing tinnitus, it also affected their internal energy to a certain extent. Instantly, blood spurted out from their mouths.
The sound continued to reverberate in the cave. As time elapsed, the sound also became softer and softer. Finally, the surroundings regained their silence, and the entire space appeared as if nothing had happened.
The impact this time had greatly damaged the internal energy of Harris and the others. Even a Mage of Harris’s level could sense his aura weakened, and Mike and Shirley, who were the weakest, had almost no strength to open their eyes.
Hence, they rested for a while. Fortunately, the few of them were more or less recovered. Then, they walked out from the collapsed rubble. The tragic scene at this moment shocked them greatly.
“All the corpses are dead?” Leonard said in disbelief.
“It looks like it, but Mage Romo should have perished together with them. Everything has returned to normal,” Harris muttered.
Edward looked at the formation in the surroundings and knew that it had been completely destroyed. The corpses had appeared only because of the formation’s energy. Now that the formation had been destroyed, the corpses naturally no longer existed.
“I didn’t expect Mage Romo to sacrifice himself for us. He could have fled with us. Mage Romo’s spirit is really admirable,” said Harris.
“Don’t worry, Senior Romo. We’ve remembered all your instructions to us. We’ll definitely take good care of your descendants,” said Shirley, looking at the empty air in front of her.
When they heard Shirley’s words, they seemed to have also made up their minds. They said in unison, “Senior Romo, don’t worry.. We’ll definitely take good care of your descendants.”
