The blood was scorching hot.The rain was chillingly cold.
Pandora, however, felt extremely cold.
The more blood she lost, the colder her body became. And inside her body, a strange energy continually wreaked havoc, preventing her from exerting her full strength. It was excruciatingly painful. If she had some time, maybe she could have purged this accursed energy, but the two menacing-looking individuals standing not far away clearly werenāt going to give her that chance.
Of course, Pandora felt she could endure all that.
The only thing she felt unbearable was the feeling of utter loneliness, without any support.
āSplash, splashā¦ā
The rain fell, the droplets continuously hitting the ground, turning into steam as they rose. Pandoraās lips were tightly pursed.
In the rain, Pandora felt as if the entire world consisted only of herself, the rest being malevolent presences. Everything else was filled with malice; the world too was malevolent, always scrutinizing her, looking for her weaknesses, waiting for moments of her vulnerability to strike and kill her.
She didnāt know why this was so, but it seemed to have been this way ever since she could remember; her life filled with fleeing and hiding.
Before, Gregory had been there, accompanying and protecting her, but now Gregory was dead. There was no one left to accompany or protect her.
Well, actually there was one person.
But that person was not here, so she was alone.
So cold, so very cold. So painful, so very painful.
Was she going to die?
A drop of rain fell into Pandoraās eye, and she blinked hard, unsure of the answer to that question.
She didnāt know. She really didnāt.
She had been quite foolish; ever since she was young, Gregory hadnāt taught her much. And whenever she wanted to learn something, she always did poorly. She often broke the test tubes when she was cleaning them, and whenever she tried shaping metal blocks, she often made them too big or too small.
In short, apart from fighting and bullying the little animals in the forest, she wasnāt good at anything.
Sheā¦ was an unqualified dragon, even an unqualified person.
She was terrible.
She really was terrible, and although she had always tried to change, it really didnāt work out.
Take this time, for example, she had just wanted to see if the carriage had arrived, only to end up in this courtyard and get into a fight with two strangers, and she was even losing.
She couldnāt even do the one thing she was best at anymore.
She was too useless.
Now, Richard in the courtyard must be getting anxious, she should have gone back and told Richard, butā¦ she couldnāt return.
Yeah, she couldnāt return.
Pandora looked at the two people nearby, blinked hard and thought to herself, āIāve messed things up again, sorry, Richardā¦ā
After saying this in her mind, Pandora heard one of the men not far away, the taller one speak, āLittle girl, youāre quite strong to survive two powerful spells. Hmm, it seems I need to utilize a higher level of power.ā
Pandora watched as the other finished speaking, flipping his hand, a ball of purple flames appeared in his palm. She sensed an extremely powerful force from the flames. She didnāt know what they would do, but it was certainly going to be nothing good for her.
She really couldnāt go back now.
The tall man started bringing the purple flame towards his mouth, and Pandora clenched her fists, readying herself for one last struggle. But when she exerted strength, her whole body hurt, and she frowned deeply, clenching her teeth.
The purple flame reached the tall manās lips.
āShout!ā
Pandora yelled out and forcefully exerted strength to lunge forward, one foot stepping on the ground as if it had stepped on a nail, the nail piercing directly into her bone.
Pandoraās brow furrowed into a knot, her face contorted in pain, nearly crushing her silver teeth.
The tall wizard was about to swallow the flame.
Pandora thought she had messed things up once again when suddenly a bright light flashed past her and reached before the tall man.
It was a White Jade Plate, its surface inscribed with many intricate patterns, and it seemed to contain mysterious powers.
In the next moment, the White Jade Plate exploded with a ābang,ā generating a gigantic fireball and powerful shock waves, targeting the tall and the short wizard nearby.
This wasā¦
Pandoraās eyes widened in shock, and when she turned her head, she saw a figure appearing behind her.
āRichard!ā Pandora exclaimed.
āBang! Boom!ā
The explosion erupted and dissipated.
Richard stood behind Pandora, gently patting her head, āYes, itās me. Iāve come, though Iām a bit late.ā
āNo worries, Iām fine.ā
āThatās good, rest for a bit.ā
āIām fine, really, I can help you.ā
āListen to me.ā
āOhā¦ā
Pandora complied, walking behind Richard. She hadnāt walked two steps before she āploppedā down to the groundāhaving only been sustaining herself through sheer willpower until now, she realized that she had no strength left once she relaxed. She felt an excruciating pain, and the corrosive energy inside her continued to wreak havoc, requiring all her focus to resist and clear it.
Richard caught a glimpse of Pandora frowning and sitting down from the corner of his eye, feeling slightly relieved. Then, he turned to the two wizards.
Richard had seen these two wizards before; they were from the Mysterious Organization. He, however, didnāt recognize them.
That didnāt matter, because given the current circumstances, from a safety perspective, there was only one choice: clean and decisively kill the opponents, soā¦ knowing them or not made no difference.
Butā¦
Suo Men withdrew his Magic Shield, somewhat irritated at being interrupted in the final moment of the upgrade. He looked at the one who interrupted and narrowed his eyes, saying, āSo, itās you, boy! Hmph, I was planning to settle the score with you after this big plan was completed, but youāve come looking for trouble yourself!ā
āOh?ā Richard looked at Suo Men, verifying the face and indeed it was unfamiliar except for the one time he had seen him in the underground secret base. But considering the people from the Mysterious Organization seem to have some kind of resurrection capability, itās possible that he had met him before under a different appearance.
Thenā¦
Richardās eyes flickered as he speculated.
At that moment, Suo Men declared, āBoy, you probably thought you had finished me off before, but thatās impossible! Iāve come back and this time, itās my turn to kill you!ā
āThe killer of Gregory, the mastermind behind the destruction of the Steel Brotherhood, the wizard named Suo Men who has been killed by me twice,ā Richard affirmed inwardly, narrowing his eyes and slowly speaking, āDo you think, this time you can really kill me?ā
āIāll prove it to you,ā Suo Men said.
