Chapter 224 Ellie! The Last Guardian!
Watching the chaotic scene unfold before her, a young woman dressed in luxurious noble attire, her hands and feet bound, stood at the back of the pirates' ranks. In her emerald-green eyes, a glimmer of despair flashed.Ellie had originally hoped that someone from Seaway City would come to rescue her from this hellish situation, but now, she felt it would have been better if no one had come at all.
When she and her friends first came to the Western Sea, they had brought along three to four hundred bodyguards, including three Diamond-level warriors and one Purple-Gold-tier high-tier expert. In the end, all of them had been slaughtered by the Black Raven Pirates without exception.
Her friends had suffered cruel fates as well. The wealthy had their limbs broken and were sent back; the others, who couldn't pay for their release, were simply turned into playthings for the pirates.
Ellie, with her higher status and wealth, had not been harmed by the Black Raven Pirates directly. But the past few days had been filled with constant fear and anxiety, wondering when the depraved pirates would finally tire of her and throw her into the sea to feed the fish after having their way with her.
Now, when she had finally seen a glimpse of hope with the arrival of supposed rescuers, all she found was a ragtag group of soldiers. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Ellie could only see a bleak future ahead of her.
Her beautiful eyes clouded with tears as she felt a deep regret. She thought to herself that she should never have come to the sea to
"ROAR!!!" The dragon let out a deafening roar, unleashing an endless torrent of fiery breath from its mouth. Jormungandr, unable to evade in time, was struck directly by the dragon's fiery blast. Her beautiful scales turned black and charred.
The dragon race was a high-tier bloodline, and this fire dragon was just one step away from transcending into a Transcendent being. Her King-level monster pressure had little effect on Jormungandr.
However, the dragon's fiery breath was enough to enrage this King-level Abyssal Demon Realm monster. Jormungandr, who had never suffered such a blow, especially not from the likes of this dragon, felt a fury rise within her.
A burst of seven-colored radiance erupted, like the aurora blocking out the sky. A silver-white serpentine tail suddenly appeared at the dragon's side, and with a massive force, it struck one of the dragon's claws, shattering its bones and sending the dragon's form hurtling backward through the air.
Seizing the opportunity, Luca's Solar God Pattern flared to life. He transformed into a streak of golden lightning, shooting through the air like a spear, and with a mighty impact, he slammed into the fire dragon's head.
"Boom!!!"
The Divine Flame swept across, and the dragon scales, which had been tough enough to resist a Superclass attack, shattered in an instant. As dragon blood sprayed, the fire dragon let out a painful roar. With only one remaining claw, which seemed as massive as a mountain, it swiped toward Luca.
Forced to defend, Luca quickly retracted his spear, but a massive force struck him. The spear in his hands shattered instantly, and he was sent flying backward like a shooting star, crashing violently into a nearby volcano.
The already unstable volcano erupted violently from the impact. Flames, magma, rocks, and dust erupted into the sky in a chaotic explosion.
"This last guardian is truly a tough one to kill," Luca said as he walked out of the sea of lava and fire, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked up at the fire dragon, which had almost been pierced through by his spear, feeling a hint of regret.
Without the help of the Solar Divine Spear, trying to defeat such a high-level Superclass peak monster became exponentially more difficult.
He glanced down at the broken weapon in his hand, his expression tightening despite his vast fortune. Diamond-level weapons, in battles of this caliber, were little more than disposable items.
There was no time to lament; Jormungandr was already once again locked in battle with the fire dragon.
Luca discarded the half-broken spear in his hand and pulled out a fourth Diamond-level spear from his storage ring.
Just as he was about to charge, he suddenly paused, turning his gaze toward the volcano where the Solar Divine Spear had landed.
Unnoticed, the blazing red fires of the volcano had been completely replaced by a brilliant golden Divine Flame, lighting up the entire area in a dazzling golden glow!
