"Roddy!"
Fangen, who was entangled by Dorothy, roared loudly, struggling wildly. The two half dragon people who had come to attack had dealt with the Demon-Born Flower Whipper and were forming a pincer attack on the half elf.
Having no other choice, she could only temporarily let go of Fangen and retreat to the side, allowing two flower wings to intertwine into a defensive web.
ALulu gritted her teeth, using the shield to block the attacks from those she once spent days and nights with over and over again.
"You’ve been causing trouble for us since the past," the half dragon man said.
ALulu said softly, "I don’t want it like this."
"Obviously, always coming and going, yet pretending to be comrades with us."
"I never thought of it that way."
Zoe approached at high speed, thrusting the sword into the half dragon man’s lower back, the sword edge slicing through the dragon scales, drawing blood, and the wound immediately began to heal.
"Lulu, don’t let their words affect you! Quickly go support Dorothy, we need you!"
Zoe’s words made ALulu turn her head, and she saw Dorothy being besieged. She immediately snapped back, focusing on the situation at hand.
"Hah!" The horned race girl lifted her shield and thrust forward, causing the half dragon man who was originally swinging sharp claws to stagger back, and the heavy hammer swept horizontally immediately after. He defended with both arms and his tail, yet was still sent flying.
The half dragon man’s waist seemed to have a bone broken by the impact, unable to straighten for a while. However, because of the dragonized body, he was slowly being pulled straight by the muscles.
"Good!"
Zoe, smiling, transformed into the form of an ice wolf, and the ice blades of Extreme Cold Punishment instantly manifested.
Seeing ALulu come back to her senses, Fangen indicated to Dorothy, letting the other two half dragon people deal with her while he returned to attack ALulu.
Watching his former comrades getting hit, Fangen dodged agilely, coldly sneering, "Your equipment got a makeover, didn’t it? It was that man at the time of registration who made it for you, wasn’t it? We told you to wear proper clothes, not to disgrace the doctrine, but to you, that was too unacceptable, wasn’t it?
"You’ve been plotting against us for a long time, haven’t you?"
ALulu remained silent, continuously swinging the saw-toothed giant hammer.
"Haha, I just knew it."
Fangen continued with malicious sneers. As strikes were exchanged back and forth, ALulu’s gaze gradually became dazed, her breathing turned heavy, and steam began rising from all around her.
"Is it starting? That disregard for others’ demeanor, I’ve been waiting for this."
Fangen turned and rushed towards Zoe’s location, ALulu in hot pursuit, seemingly with only the enemy in her eyes, forsaking everything else.
The half dragon man approached near Zoe, the young girl turned and executed a sword slash, but he wasn’t aiming at her, already retreating away swiftly.
Facing Zoe head-on was ALulu with vacant eyes, seemingly unable to distinguish who was the enemy, swinging a hammer down upon the young girl.
Zoe switched to Wind Swordsmanship, swiftly exiting the range of attack with the protection bestowed by the Wind Breath Sword.
The saw-toothed heavy hammer slammed into the ground, making the entire ground shake once, dirt bursting skyward like an explosion, and cracks spreading everywhere, scaring Reed into shouting repeatedly.
"Wow wow wow! Is this internal conflict? This little girl’s strength is way too strong! The ground of our Flowing Silver Arena is reinforced!"
With one strike delivered, having temporarily lost the target, ALulu’s gaze gradually cleared, realizing what she had done, her eyes filled with agony, and tears gushed out.
"Ugh!"
On the half elf’s side, one half dragon man was bound by the Golden Sand Mist, while another was tightly ensnared by the Demon-Born Flower Vine.
Dorothy, expressionless, drove the Demon-Born Flower Sword Core to tear through dragon scales, ruthlessly piercing into the half dragon man’s body, while simultaneously extracting the red-black Power of Dragon, along with the dragonized blood, into the vine.
Among the flower vines, a large dark red blossom suddenly bloomed.
The Star Crystal Flower Vine entwined around the girl’s Magic Staff seemed to be more proficient in casting after absorbing the Light of the Star Soul, using it as a medium to manipulate a powerful golden sand mist, making it impossible for the half dragon man to break free.
"Don’t worry, you’re next, you scum, each of you will become nourishment for the Demon-Born Flower."
