Chapter 324: The Unyielding Beast
"Oh? Seems your Captain already gave up." The Dragon pointed a heavy, armored claw at Jessica, a cruel, mocking grin spreading on its reptilian lips.
The remaining ten students turned to Jessica, seeing her violently shaking, her sword dropped in the ash. Their eyes widened in profound horror; in the brutal hierarchy of Galaxy Fall, the vanguard was the shield. If Jessica falls, they will surely follow her into the grave.
"No! I won’t let it happen! I won’t." Jessica stammered, her fingers digging into the scorched earth as she blindly picked up her sword. Her words, laced with an unrecognizable grief, stunned everyone. Even the Dragon paused, tilting its massive head to the side as it analyzed her fluctuating bio-rhythms.
"Seems she has gone crazy! I will finish her first!" The monster decided, dismissing her mental break as weakness. It raised its massive battleaxe, its high-agility stats allowing it to shoot forward, bypassing the physical space to appear directly in front of Jessica in seconds, and violently smashing down.
"Die Pathetic Human!!!"
Jessica gripped her sword with both hands, the fractured memories of a ruined timeline merging with her present reality. She looked up, her Mythic Eye bleeding, and screamed with the absolute authority of a fallen general: "I won’t let it happen again!!"
BOOOOM!!
A suffocating, violent Demonic energy burst out from her core. The crimson-black aura exploded outward, violently smashing into the dragon with the force of a meteor, instantly sending the colossal beast flying backward.
BAM!!
The gatekeeper smashed heavily into the ground, skidding right in front of the dimensional gateway, its draconic face filled with genuine surprise as its armor cracked.
"Captain?" The sword academy’s students were entirely stunned, unable to comprehend the sudden, explosive shift in her aura.
"I won’t let it happen again! Even if I will die, I won’t let that repeat itself!!" She shot forward, her physical limits entirely broken by the demonic override. Her Mythic Eye was spinning violently.
