Chapter 78: An Honest-to-God Dragon
BOOOM!
The girl was thrown back like a ragdoll! She slammed through hundreds of trees, and bruises and cuts filled her body as her mana began to waver and die out! She crashed into a large foliage a far distance away and finally slammed to a stop, and the dragon rider let out a laugh in victory! He was sure that this time she wasn’t going to be getting up no matter what! That blast should’ve knocked her out for the next few days at least!
The dragon rider immediately instructed his dragon to go towards the girl, and the dragon immediately began to swoop downwards to try and reach her!
But once he reached the area where the girl had fallen, he was shocked by the sight that greeted him! There was a large, stocky-looking ant standing just a few meters away from the girl’s form. It was looking up at the man with large beady eyes that promised death, and the man felt a shiver go down his spine when he saw the purple fire that was present in that gaze! But it wasn’t the ant that had shocked the man! The man already expected there to be various magical beasts in this Gate, so he wasn’t surprised that the ant was there. Instead, what really shocked the man was the person kneeling beside the girl and putting his hand on her neck.
Who the fuck was that!?
....
Jason put his hand over the girl’s neck to check for her pulse. She was well and truly knocked out, and there was no way she would be getting up for a long time with the amount of injuries that she had. Jason could see blue flames flickering across her body and trying to do something, but it was dying out immediately when it came to life and Jason immediately assumed that it was because the girl was out of mana, so her body couldn’t do what it wanted.
Jason was surprised. What was going on here? Where did she come from, and what the hell caused her this much damage? Jason’s eyes trailed over the scales covering the girl’s cheek and hands. It was very obvious to him that she was not a human, and he immediately wondered if she was some sort of magical beast.
Jason was inside a Gate, right? Was it possible for a humanoid magical beast to exist? Because that was the only explanation that Jason could come up with at that moment.
