Chapter 44: Killing the 2nd Echelon Fire Lion (1)
The second beast raked claws across his back at the same time, creating a deep wound. Armand sank to one knee but did not collapse.
White-gold wiring wrapped his wounds as Kai’s heal coursed through. The pain subsided, and the muscle was sewn. The corpse behind Armand moved as Kai had resurrected it and assigned it to flank the remaining cougar.
"Kill it!"
Coming back to his peak, Armand charged again, eyes blazing with determination.
At the other side, Elias spewed up saliva. Armor was repaired, and he was healed, but mana reserves were depleting. As he downed a 2nd Echelon Mana potion, he thought that he needed to stop this before the lion unleashed its anger on the Kai’s side.
He activated Solar Blade once more, and just as the lion inhaled for Sovereign Roar, he used Heaven’s Bind again, the chains looping around the jaws.
He stepped on thin air, raising his hand upward as he used his [Dawnfall Spear] skill, creating a five-meter lance of radiant dawnlight.
The lion was furious and used [Hellfire Control] to cloak itself in a pillar of black flame, melting the chains. But the Judgment Mark still glowed.
Elias threw the spear downward. It pierced through infernal flames and pierced through the right shoulder, barely pinning the lion down. A shriek of agony tore the sky.
Even though Elias delivered a fatal attack, Kai cursed loudly.
"Damn it! I’ve told you to hold back, you dumbass. Now that you don’t have a lot of mana left, how can you kill it?"
