Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

Anila gave a wry smile: "It's the leader of the Rudraksha Familia, [Slave Cat] Jalal Harma. He has the strength of a level 4, even if the leader and I team up..."

Philvis also realized the severity of the problem. If it were just a [Mana Dragon], having experienced being captured once before, she knew that even if they were defeated, the captain and his men would be imprisoned as food supplies. But now…

“What should we do…” Phil Weiss couldn’t bring herself to tell Charles not to go.

No matter what, it concerns their own team leader.

But there are no first-level adventurers here, so how easy is it to snatch someone from the dark faction?

"Don't worry, things aren't without hope. Don't forget about that [Mana Dragon]. If the Dark Faction is active on the 12th floor, they'll definitely clash with it. We can look for an opportunity."

Phil Weiss's eyes slowly widened, and she looked directly at Charles in surprise: "You...you're willing to go and save the commander?!"

Charles climbed onto the bear and reached out to pull Alfia along, saying, "I'm just going to take a look. I'm only level 1, so all I can do is try my best and leave the rest to fate."

“Come on... come up here, you’ll come with us.”

Phil and Anila inquired about the location where the captain had been attacked, then grabbed Charles's hand and climbed onto Bochi's back.

The three men and one bear rushed into the thick fog and moved as fast as they could towards the battle position, according to the map.

Phil Weiss clung tightly to Charles's back, using the time they had to travel to ask the question that had been lingering in her heart:

"you……"

"Call me Charles."

"Mr. Charles, why are you helping me like this?"

Do you need a reason to help others?

"Uh……"

Phil Weiss was stunned, then felt an overwhelming sense of shame. Yes, helping others didn't need a reason. She didn't think she was anything special that made Charles risk his life for her.

"Don't overthink it. I'm just going to take a look and try my luck. At worst, I might bring back your commander's body. Hmm, let me tell you, we have a child in our family who possesses [resurrection magic], so there might still be a glimmer of hope."

"Resurrection magic?" Phil Weiss's eyes widened. "Is there really such a miraculous magic?"

"Yes, but it has never worked successfully, so don't get your hopes up too high," Charles poured cold water on the idea.

"I understand, at least..."

Alfia, who was in Ciel's arms, noticed that the boy was pretending again and secretly pinched the soft flesh on his side.

A dangerous smile curved her lips as she looked up at Charles with a sly grin.

Charles gave a wry smile and offered no explanation.

Philweis is one of the most important characters in the timeline for the next few years. In order to find out when the Fallen Fairy attacked, it is necessary to keep track of this child's movements.

Bochi ran very fast, and soon, a raging thunderstorm and the roars of adventurers came from ahead.

The three hid in the thick fog, observing from the shadows.

"Fifteen adventurers in total: one level 4, five level 3, and several level 1," Alfia quickly reported the battle situation.

"Several adventurers are lying on the ground, probably members of the Dionysus Familia. Rudra and his group are no match for the [Mana Dragon]. They are unleashing the Demon Sword, and that thing has become stronger again!"

Phil Weiss stared at Alfia in surprise...

So you brought her along because she has sensory abilities?

boom----

As the surging thunderstorm whipped up the thick fog, Ciel could vaguely make out the situation through the thin mist.

Jalal, clutching his bleeding shoulder, brandished his whip and controlled a giant Lambton serpent (lv4) as it lunged at the mana dragon.

The other cadres were also injured and looked quite disheveled.

"At three o'clock, is that one of your clan's companions?" Charles quickly pinpointed the location of the wounded.

“Yes!” Phil Weiss exclaimed excitedly.

Charles pulled a few more cans of "coconut milk" from Pochi's backpack and stuffed them into Phil Weiss's arms:

"We'll split up and steal them back while the dark faction is too preoccupied to pay attention to us."

Phil Weiss knew very well that saving people was ultimately her responsibility. After grabbing the baby bottle and giving a sincere thank you, she resolutely used the fog to grope her way into the battlefield.

Charles also carefully crept around the crowd, bypassing their sight, and pulled out a heavily wounded corpse from the other side.

He was a junior member of the Rudra clan, whom Sharl had seen at the stronghold.

He slapped him awake and demanded, "What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing that it was Charles, the underling froze for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "To retrieve the enhanced species lost in the labyrinth..."

"Recycle? Not capture?"

Chapter 265 I've tamed 'Philips'!

"What do you mean by recycling?" Charles pressed.

"It's about reclaiming the monsters controlled by our fallen brethren who died while we were escorting Lord Erebus."

Charles suddenly realized.

On the day of the final battle, many secret factions were responsible for escorting Erebus, and many corpses must have been left behind along the way.

The Rudra clan, which was responsible for escorting the animals, consisted mainly of beast tamers. When their master died, these captured monsters lost their master and naturally scattered and fled.

"No wonder there are so many enhanced Pokémon in the upper levels alone. They're all from other people's Pokémon."

Charles was lost in thought. He looked down at his underling, who had fainted again. Charles took the scarlet whip from the underling's waist without hesitation and searched the underling's body. He quickly found a purple, spherical, collar-like cursed item.

After finishing everything, he followed the mist back to Boqi's side.

At this time, Phil Weiss had returned with some unconscious wounded. With the help of "Coconut Milk," these people were temporarily out of danger.

“There are too many people. Let Poch send some of them back first,” Charles suggested.

Phil Weiss nodded slightly and rushed back into the fog, trying to save some more people.

Time passed second by second, and the fierce battle on the battlefield intensified. The magic dragon's eyes dimmed slightly, and its head was covered with wounds caused by arrows.

The situation was equally dire for Jaluo; not only had he suffered heavy losses of monsters, but several of his companions had also fallen.

At a time when the situation was at a stalemate.

Philweis's subtle actions were quickly noticed by Jallus, who was observing the situation.

He glanced at the Lambton serpent, its body shattered by lightning, and its battered companion, clicked his tongue, and waved with a sinister grin:

"Forget it. Let's retreat! Continuing won't be worth it."

The appearance of the [Mana Dragon] was completely unexpected. If he originally had the motivation to capture powerful and rare monsters, the loss of a Lambton Serpent made Jarrow give up the idea.

Perfect timing! Now that someone is covering their retreat, this is the best opportunity to withdraw.

He led his men and charged directly towards Phil Weiss's location; all they had to do was run faster than Phil Weiss.

Faced with the monster's dying counterattack, this sneaky elf will surely fight back to the death.

The unexpected turn of events threw Phil Weiss into a state of panic.

"Go to hell!" Jaluo lashed out with his whip, knocking Phil Weiss to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Rudra clan swept past Philwis and quickly moved away, leaving her only with the roaring and thunderous [Mana Dragon].

"How could this be?!" Phil Weiss's pupils dilated. The enormous dragon that occupied the sky above the building lowered its head and opened its huge mouth, which reeked of blood.

A pale white ball of lightning condensed in its mouth...

"Go... Phil Weiss, don't worry about me!" The injured member tried to push Phil Weiss away, but his body went numb and he couldn't move at all.

Too late...

Philweis stretched out her staff in an attempt to chant, but it was too late!

The barrier couldn't hold up, and it couldn't stop the monster's desperate attack!

I can't let my comrades die with me!

Phil Weiss grabbed the injured man and threw him three meters away.

Turning back, the raging ball of lightning was already growing larger and larger before their eyes...

Just as she was preparing herself to follow her heart and mentally prepare for a heroic sacrifice, a small, thin figure blocked her way.

Her pupils dilated instantly, and she cried out in surprise, "Mr. Charles!"

boom------

A surge of lightning hurled her away, and violent arcs of lightning raged around her.

Xia Er's figure was erased bit by bit by the force of the storm's core, like rubber, until it finally disappeared completely.

“Mr. Charles ————————”

"what----"

As the smoke cleared and the lightning faded, there was no trace of Shire in the eye of the storm.

Phil Weiss's eyes widened, her breath caught in her throat, she couldn't understand why Charles would suddenly run out to protect her.

But then I seemed to hear Charles's matter-of-fact words again:

Do you need a reason to save someone?

"Ah... Ciel—"

In that instant, the blurry silhouette of Charles submerged in the center of the thunderstorm seemed to ignite the deep-seated emotions hidden within Philweis's heart, suddenly becoming very clear and very nostalgic, just like... her father.

The immense grief made her lips tremble, but the roaring monster wouldn't give her the chance.

The companion who was thrown out screamed: "Philwiss—! Run!"

"!"

As if waking from a dream, Phil Weiss gritted her teeth, tears welling in her eyes, and ran frantically, dragging her companion along as she moved her lips.
