Chapter 188: Defeating Beletrex
Robert’s sword managed to cut through the flames, his entire arm burned with the red flames of the Phoenix. His breath was haggard, all from blocking one attack.
His sweat evaporated as fast as it formed, his temperature reaching new heights. Everyone was stunned by the attack. If not for Robert, they would have all died.
Beletrex didn’t relent even after such a powerful attack. He shot out three tendrils at Robert. Jack rushed to the front, crossed his arms with his gauntlets, and blocked one tendril, while Mia parried the other two. Her hands were knocked back, but she managed to do it.
"We have to run," she said.
"Without Riven, we don’t stand a chance against this monster," Liana said.
"The second years, they should be able to help," Jack said.
"They won’t. They don’t see the need to aid us when they aren’t in direct trouble, no matter what we tell them," Robert said. He looked up at Beletrex.
"I’m not sure we can even run away at this point. We have to fight it out," Robert said.
Beletrex attacked again, tendrils lashing out in all directions. Everyone dodged as fast as they could, looking for a way to attack, but no matter how much they tried, they couldn’t get away or land a hit.
Their bodies started getting slow, their movements became erratic, and attacks started landing. Robert was slammed into a tree, a tendril wrapped around Mia and Liana, while Jack was hit away, suffering several broken bones.
Beletrex was going for the kill first, and he was about to start with the two girls in his tendrils, but right before they were crushed, a golden light pierced through the tendrils and destroyed them.
Both girls fell to the ground, but they weren’t harmed. Lance walked toward Beletrex, his eyes glowing gold, his sword covered in a golden light.
