The black dragon claw closed and held Garland firmly in its palm.
"A Holy Dragon…Although it's not of much help to me now, if I control it and let it grow to the Crown Rank…then…Hmm? What?" After grabbing Garland, Dakkazanlu began to talk to himself. Suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly. It turned into a confused voice, followed by a cry of surprise.
The hand that was holding Garland was slowly disappearing, revealing Garland's figure wrapped in black and gray light.
" Haddix?!"
Seeing this, Dakkazanlu's pupils constricted and he cried out in alarm. He actually revealed a look of fear. Without hesitation, he turned around and ran.
"You want to run after acting tough? What are you thinking!" Garland said disdainfully when he saw that he actually turned around and wanted to run away.
The next moment, Garland appeared not far away from him.
Without wasting any time, he extended his right claw and made a grabbing gesture at Dakkazanlu. At the same time, a dragon claw that was even larger than Dakkazanlu suddenly appeared between him and Dakkazanlu. It clenched its fist together with his movements and grabbed Dakkazanlu before he could react.
Then, a shocking scene appeared. Dakkazanlu didn't even groan. He quickly disintegrated and disappeared into nothingness as he clenched his dragon claws.
After Dakkazanlu's doppelganger disappeared, Garland didn't show any joy. Instead, his expression quickly became dispirited, and his body fell down.
Bang!
He smashed into the ground, and his body that weighed hundreds of tons created a huge hole in the ground. A large number of cracks spread around the hole.
" Damn it... Luckily..." Jia 'er said weakly.
He was " damned " because he was in a terrible situation. He was " lucky " because Dakkazanlu was overconfident and had wasted so much time talking nonsense with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the time to use this trump card.
This trump card was left to him by his father, and it was also left to the next generation by every generation of ancestors after the Twilight of the Gods. It was equivalent to temporarily unsealing the seal and overdrawing all the power. It was the last life-saving measure when life was at stake. However, there was also a fatal side effect. After attacking, one would fall into a period of weakness due to overdrawing all the power. The length of time was related to one's strength. However, who would care about this at the moment of life and death? The most important thing was that it could only be used three times at most. This was what made him the most depressed.
"It's better…to leave first…"
He got up with difficulty, slowly climbed out of the pit, and climbed back to the ground with difficulty.
He took a deep breath and recovered some of his strength. He continued to mutter to himself,"With my current body, I'm afraid that I won't be able to recover in a few years…I should try my best to keep a low profile during this period of time…"
Shaking his head slightly, he slowly walked towards the north with heavy steps…
A few days later…
Within the Kingdom of Saint Cassius, Jotun Duchy, Platinum City.
Platinum City was one of the three most prosperous city-states in Jotun Duchy. It was famous for producing platinum, so it was known as the " Capital of Platinum ".
Platinum was a precious and high-strength metal that contained magical elements. Many well-known weapons and armor on the continent were forged from platinum as the main material. It was said that Zorro, the strongest swordsman on the continent, was named the White Emperor. His White Emperor Sword was forged from platinum.
Adventurers Guild.
The Adventurers Guild was a top-notch organization in the entire " Divine Light Planet ". It was deeply rooted and had branches all over the entire " Divine Light Planet ". It was one of the forces that no force wanted to provoke. It was said that its current president was a Quasi God. It was unknown if it was true, but judging from the current power of the Adventurers Guild and the way it had done things in recent years, it was highly credible.
Meanwhile, in Platinum City's Adventurer's Guild.
"Hey! Brothers! Do you have a team? If there's no one who can join our team, let me tell you, we can…"
"No…"
A red-mage youth wearing leather armor stopped an adventurer who had just entered the guild hall. He tried his best to recommend the adventurer to join his team, but the adventurer pushed him away impatiently before he could finish speaking. At the same time, he rejected the adventurer without any politeness.
However, the young man was not annoyed. Instead, he stopped the next female adventurer. Miss! Are you interested…"
"Get lost!" The woman did not stand on ceremony either. After pushing him away, she continued to walk to the front desk.
People kept coming and going in the guild hall. The young man was also patiently continuing his work. When he saw someone enter, he went up to stop the other party. Then, as expected, he was rejected again. However, no one watched his strange behavior, nor did anyone discuss or pay attention to him. It seemed that the young man often did this kind of thing here, and the adventurers were already used to it.
As time passed, the young man continued to " work " tirelessly. No one joined his team even when the sun was setting in the evening.
Sigh--
The young man sighed as usual and dragged his tired body out of the Adventurers 'Union. He hailed a Magic Car and told the driver to go to the Rose Tavern. The Magic Car made of wood and iron quickly headed in one direction.
A few minutes later, the car stopped outside the Rose Tavern.
After the young man paid, he got out of the car and closed the door. The car drove away, ignoring the crowd entering and leaving. The young man walked into the tavern by himself. He didn't even look and walked straight to a square table.
At this moment, there were already two people sitting there, a man and a woman. They looked to be around 20 years old, similar to the young man.
The young man did not look at them. He sat down on an empty seat and picked up a glass of beer on the table. He raised his head and drank it.
"Hey, hey! Kevin! That's my beer! " If you want to drink, go buy it yourself…" When the man saw this, he immediately became anxious. He reached out and snatched the cup back. He lowered his head and saw that there was really only the cup left. There was not a single drop of wine left.
"You didn't recruit anyone again?" The woman asked casually as if she was doing a routine job.
" Yeah…" Kevin nodded, feeling a little down and depressed.
" Uh…It's okay. Take it slow…" The man comforted her.
"Slowly? How slow? How long can my sister wait? Hearing this, Kevin was a little excited. As he spoke, he suddenly covered his face and sobbed.
" Uh…that…" The man saw that his words had the opposite effect. He scratched his head awkwardly and looked at the woman, somewhat at a loss.
The woman pursed her lips and shrugged. She didn't say anything and picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a big gulp.
The reason Kevin was like this was because he had a sister who had always depended on him. They had lived a difficult life since they were young. It was only when he became a fighter that his life gradually became on the right track.
Unfortunately, not long ago, his sister had contracted a rare and strange illness known as the 'Niloi Curse'. The origin of this illness was unknown, and the cause of the illness was also unknown. However, as long as one contracted this illness, it was almost certain that they would die, and their death would be extremely miserable. Unless one could find a priest at the Conferred Saint realm or a Divine Servant at the Transcendent Saint realm, and this was on the premise that they were willing to treat her for free.
Due to the special nature of this disease, medical skills could not cure it. Only the power of the mystical domain could eradicate it, or else one could only wait for death. However, most churches in this world would not treat people for free. They had to donate a certain amount of money.
This amount was decided according to the situation. If it was an ordinary minor illness, it could be treated with a casual thought. For example, the level of the "Niloi Curse" was an astronomical figure. At the very least, it was an astronomical figure for Kevin, who was only a rank 6 Dou Zong. Even if he did his best to complete missions, it would take several years or even longer to accumulate it. The problem now was that his sister could not wait that long.
As for finding a titled battle pet warrior or above priest, even if he could find one, the cost of treating him would be higher than that of the Holy See.
If he wanted to accumulate this amount of money in a short period of time, he would have to do team quests with generous rewards, and team quests required a team of at least four people to accept. This was also why he ignored the opinions of others and went to the Adventurers 'Guild every day to block the door and recruit people.
However, after two months, only Cedric and Audrey, who were tier 7 Da Dou Zongs, joined the team after learning of his encounter. In the beginning, the two of them followed Kevin to recruit team members and even explained his situation to the other adventurers. However, the results were minimal. At most, they only expressed sympathy and other reactions.
This also caused the two of them to be extremely disappointed. In the end, only Kevin was left to continue recruiting members. However, Kevin did not complain about this or blame them. In his opinion, the two of them joining the team was already the greatest help to him. He did not ask for more. Now, he only asked for one more person. Just one more person and he would be able to accept the team mission. He would be able to save his sister.
After an unknown amount of time, Kevin stopped crying and stared blankly at the table.
After a while, he wiped his tears and looked up with a forced smile. He said apologetically to Cedric," I'm sorry…Cedric…I lost control of my emotions just now. I…"
"It's fine, it's fine! If I were you, I might be even worse off than you.”Before he could finish, Cedric waved his hand magnanimously.
"…Thank you! Thank you so much!" After a moment of silence, Kevin suddenly spoke sincerely to the two of them.
" I'm fine…" Audrey smiled. She paused and continued," How about this! Tomorrow, we'll continue to recruit people with you, even if they're strong!”
Her tone was full of certainty. It seemed that she was serious. If no one joined tomorrow, then she would really let some unlucky person join.
"Yes!" Audric affirmed Audrey's words.
Looking at the two of them, Kevin's eyes became moist again. Thousands of words finally converged into two words," Thank you…"
"It's nothing…Look at you. You cry so often. Don't you look like a man? He was a tier 6 Da Dou Zong after all, what was the point of crying?”Cedric first waved his hand, then continued to pretend to be disgusted.
"That's true! What are you crying for?" Upon hearing this, Kevin wiped the moist corners of his eyes again and waved his hand." Then I'll treat you tonight! Let's get drunk!"
"Hahaha! Good! You said it yourself!" Cedric laughed heartily and waved his hand." Waiter! Bring me ten bottles of Dasco!"
Audrey smiled and shook her head." Alright! Since that's the case, I'll drink with you all to my heart's content!”
Just like that, the three of them toasted and drank until late into the night before they collapsed one after another. Audrey was still alright as she could still sleep on the table, but Kevin and Cedric ran under the table.
Fortunately, Platinum City's public security was very good, and the laws were very complete and strict. Even if they were drunk to this extent, no one had any evil thoughts about them…
