Alligator's Ark of Tomorrow

At that moment, a shell landed.

It hit Gard squarely.

The explosion engulfed Gard and Surtr, but Surtr felt no pain because Gard had completely blocked the explosion.

"Galder?"

Surtr heard a heartbeat like a drumbeat, and she saw Gard protecting her, his golden eyes gradually being filled with blood.

dong dong!

dong dong!

The crocodile-man in front of him made Surtr take two steps back.

She suddenly realized that the person standing in front of her was not Gard, but a beast.

Has Gard been blown silly by the shells?

Gard leaned down and whispered, as if he were talking to someone, perhaps to Raventin?

Surtr didn't know what Gard had said to Levantine. After he finished speaking, Gard didn't even look at Surtr and jumped straight off the giant.

The city's defensive cannons had not yet ceased their attack, but as Gard landed, he threw out his weapon.

The giant, crescent-shaped axe, dripping with blood, shattered the cannonballs in the sky and flew towards the distant city defense fortresses. These fortresses were embedded in the ground, making it virtually impossible to destroy them from the outside.

However, even if the turret cannot be destroyed, blocking the firing port is still a success.

Gard threw his weapon not for destruction, but for support.

Because he saw that Kal'tsit and the others had already begun to take action.

As a master of stealth, Scout's current task is to help Gard and his team advance by destroying all the city's defensive cannon firing ports.

This means he will be very close to those powerful mechanical knights.

There was a mechanical nightmare in front of each turret's firing port. What Gard did was to destroy the nightmare blocking Scout's way just before Scout made his move.

At the same time, Gard began running in the direction of the Nightmare Knight.

Get on all fours.

Like a wild beast.

'Surtr, follow me!'

Gard's savage, beast-like voice echoed in Surtr's mind. Before she could even control the fire giant beneath her, the fire giant began to take its first steps.

Only when Gard and Surtr are both present will the black dragon in the sky hesitate to act.

As soon as the two separate, Black Dragon will launch an attack without hesitation.

Only the last vestige of clarity remained in my eyes.

Gard single-handedly stormed into the city's last line of defense, a line of dozens of nightmares.

The fire giant drew his sword, splitting the road in two.

"My existence will bring death to everyone!"

......

(I was sad to find myself on the new book list, which means I've been begging for monthly votes for nothing. But I know I haven't been updating much lately, so I feel bad about asking for more.)

I'll settle the monthly ticket balance tomorrow. I mentioned before that I'd be holding a long-term bounty event, but I haven't settled it yet. There'll be another update later, and that should be about it by tomorrow. This volume should be finished by now.

Chapter 118 Next, it's my turn! 16/45

Having caught his own flying axe, Gard, like a real crocodile tearing at its prey in the water, launched a deadly charge towards dozens of Nightmare Knights.

The fire giant's sword cleaved the road, and also cut off Gard's path.

The mechanical nightmares weren't foolish enough to face Surtr's flames head-on, which could melt even steel, but in the instant they scattered to avoid it, Gard collided with one of the nightmares.

Sizzle————

The sharp axe severed the nightmare's weapon the moment they collided, and the high-speed impact sent the mechanical nightmare flying high into the air.

One inch! Two inches!

As the surrounding knights landed and launched their attacks on Gard, Gard had already pierced the chest of the mechanical nightmare in front of him and seen the nightmare bone inside.

In that instant, nineteen self-aware Nightmare Knights launched an attack, attempting to drag Gard into the dream.

No matter how powerful a person is, once they fall into a deep sleep, they are a lamb to the slaughter.

But not even for a moment.

Gard didn't stop at all.

"That's impossible!"

One of the Nightmare Riders shouted that unless one has no self-awareness at all, no one can resist their nightmares, and even if the duration is short, there will be pauses.

But Gard's behavior was as if he was completely unaffected by their dreams.

"Kill him!"

If it doesn't work in dreams, then let's do it in reality.

If one Nightmare Knight can't beat Gard, then two, three will.

For the Nightmare Knight, whose body has long been mechanized.

Death may not be something to fear, but rather liberation.

The fire giant not far away raised its flaming greatsword once more, about to swing it down.

But this time, Black Dragon didn't just stand by and watch.

His enormous body landed on the distant street, a distance that even Gard could catch up in a short time. He casually uprooted a building with his claws.

Boom!

The entire building was hurled at the fire giant by the dragon.

Surtr had to turn her sword around to block the building that was being thrown at her.

Both Surtr and Gard were held back.

Its shape resembles a giant coffin, and the refuge of an ancient civilization is within reach, but neither Surtr nor Gard can take another step forward.

"roar------"

A deep, muffled growl escaped his throat, and blood light emanated from Gard's body. The blood light that had once repelled Ascaron reappeared on the axe in Gard's hand.

The nightmares surrounding Gard, however, clearly wouldn't try to avoid them like Ascaron did.

Boom!

Several Nightmare Knights were knocked away by Gard, but then came more Nightmare Knights.

not enough!

Not enough! Not enough! Not enough!

His anger was not yet intense enough, and his power had not yet been fully unleashed.

A nightmare plunged its weapon into Gard's body. Gard's tough scales had already been melted by the black dragon's flames during their battle.

The excruciating pain jolted Gard's nerves, as if trying to bring him back from his rage, or perhaps pushing him further away from the crocodile-man's insane madness.

The black dragon's eyes finally flickered as it kept its gaze fixed on Gard.

'Is this Adaklis man no longer able to unleash the same power as before?'

That's how it should be, or rather, that's how it should be.

An ordinary Adakles man, lacking both a resilient soul and the souls to which other beings of equal standing reside, even his weapon seemed unremarkable.

Moreover, he is so young; considering the lifespan of the Adakles, he is only just reaching adulthood.

'He's just trying to scare me!'

The black dragon finally realized that if Gard still possessed the power to defeat him, why didn't he use it from the beginning?

If he had used that power that even He could defeat, the knights in front of the shelter would not have been able to stop that Adakles, and they wouldn't be like this now, their bodies pierced through by those mechanical knights.

After discovering the truth, Black Dragon was furious.

He was so careful, yet he lost so much face in front of the mere end of a refuge. The person he feared was nothing more than a pretty but useless silver candlestick.

The Black Dragon was no longer afraid of the fire giant. Without Gard's restraint, this giant, which could only absorb His flames, was no match for Him. He could easily defeat it.

"I will tear you to pieces!"

Its body soared into the air once more, and within a very short distance, the black dragon unleashed a burst of acceleration.

Originally, He was about a kilometer away from the fire giant.

However, at its full-speed burst, the black dragon appeared in front of the fire giant in the blink of an eye, biting at Surtr on the fire giant's shoulder.

The extreme speed left the fire giant with no chance to retaliate, and it could only raise its arm.

boom!

The fire giant's arm was instantly shattered into countless fragments by the black dragon's bite.

In order to protect its wielder, the fire giant prepared to use its last strength to send Surtr away.

But Black Dragon, who had seen through all of this long ago, snorted dismissively.

Surtr, engulfed in flames, was slapped away by the black dragon from above the fire giant's head and fell into a coma.

"Scout!"

With his gaze shifting between anger and clarity, Scout watched as the fire giant crumbled, and then ran toward Surtr.

Here, he's the only one who still has his hands free.

Meanwhile, with Misery's help, Kal'tsit and the others had already approached the location of the shelter.

But what awaited them was a dozen Nightmare Knights, fully equipped and ready to go.

Misery shrugged helplessly. Even he couldn't possibly send Kal'tsit and the others into the shelter in front of so many Nightmare Knights.

Behind Gard, the black dragon charged forward in fury.

"Adaklis, how dare you lie to me!"

Gard turned around, his gaze cold as he looked at the black dragon. This time, the black dragon did not stop flapping its wings.

You can't scare me!

How could a mere Adaklesian possibly defeat Him?

In that final moment, the red light in Gard's eyes completely faded, replaced by a golden glow, which then vanished again in less than a second.

"You're right, I was indeed lying to you!"

All the power was poured into Gard's axe.

The black dragon's claws slammed Gard into the ground.

If anyone else were to use this claw, even a Nightmare Knight whose body is entirely made of metal, they would be smashed into scrap metal by the black dragon's claw.

But Gard did not die; his axe strike severed one of the black dragon's claws, avoiding a fatal blow.

"Look, you're bleeding now."

Blood flowed from the black dragon's severed claws, but even though his situation was a hundred or a thousand times worse than the black dragon's, Gard still smiled.

A sliver of golden light enveloped the blood flowing from the black dragon's claws, shooting it away like an arrow into the distance.

Serea, this is my last bit of sanity!

As Gard pondered this, he reached out and grabbed the black dragon's claw, a sense of foreboding rising in the black dragon's heart.

"Next."

The crocodile-man's rationality gradually disappeared, the red light in his eyes grew stronger, and his body began to swell until even the black dragon's claws could not hold him.

"It's my turn!"
