Chapter 441: Chapter 243: Nobody Can Top This! (Part 2)

And Raine’s subtle retreat was enough to confirm his judgment.

Davenport thought to himself that he had already forced Raine to play his trump card. Now, it was a question of whether he could hold out until the end, or if there were other ways to increase his odds!

Thus, the idea of "Should I summon another Elite Flom Demon for the attack?" naturally appeared in the mind of the Red Dragon Mage Davenport.

But the problem was, as soon as this idea came to mind, Davenport found himself in a dilemma because he perceived his own physical condition—he was already exhausted!

Having continuously depleted three drops of Red Dragon Essence Blood, losing any more wouldn’t just heavily damage his primordial energy; it could very likely result in a severe decrease in Classes Level.

But then again, at this critical juncture, could he just let the opponent retreat safely?

’No, at this point, I have to win!’

’Otherwise, the consequences of my loss and mission failure cannot be offset!’ A flash of ruthlessness appeared on Davenport’s pale and handsome face.

He once again shouted in Abyssal to the Elite Flom Demons and forced another drop of Red Dragon Essence Blood from his body.

As a drop of crimson, mercurial essence blood appeared on his palm, two Elite Flom Demons were immediately provoked and began howling, "Grawr! Grawr!"

The Summoning Array also flared with a brilliant blue light, and black mist appeared!

’Success!’

’Fortune favors the persistent!’ Davenport was overjoyed in his heart!

"Grawr! Grawr!!"

As the piercing screech sounded, from the black mist as thick as ink emerged two massive, vulture-headed monstrosities!

Two Flom Demons soared out of the black mist in succession.

"What? There are two of them!"

In an instant, Davenport’s eyes widened with disbelief as he looked at the scene in front of him.

For a moment, he even suspected that he’d lost too much blood and was seeing double from dizziness!

But after blinking repeatedly and rubbing his eyes, Davenport confirmed that he had indeed summoned two Elite Flom Demons simultaneously!

And at that moment, as if electrified, he suddenly understood why this had happened.

Initially, he instinctively thought that only a second Elite Flom Demon would be summoned.

In other words, he thought the number of Elite Flom Demons on the scene would increase from two to three.

But the reality was, after he sacrificed another drop of Red Dragon Essence Blood, it attracted the covetousness and competition of the two Elite Flom Demons present, each eager to summon their own companion.

And this process was doubly successful!

Thus, the scene before him unfolded.

And when he realized clearly that the four Flom Demons in front of him were real and not a dizzy-induced double image, the emotion surging in Red Dragon Mage Davenport’s heart was not joy but a chilling horror!

It was as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over him from head to toe!

Because this outcome was disastrous!

If three Elite Flom Demons were already Davenport’s limit for control or intimidation, then four undoubtedly exceeded his absolute limit.

Simply put, he was in over his head!

And indeed, this was the case.

The four Elite Flom Demons, tall and vulture-like in stature, looked at Raine, who was still in perfect armor and exuding a formidable presence, then turned their gaze towards the summoner, Red Dragon Mage Davenport.

Undoubtedly, the summoner at this moment, with a complexion pale as paper and teetering on the brink of collapse, looked like an easy target.

And the once intimidating aura of the Red Dragon had now weakened by at least thirty percent.

This accelerated the judgment of the Elite Flom Demons!

"Grawr!"

With a sharp cry from one newly summoned Elite Flom Demon, the four Elite Flom Demons suddenly turned and launched themselves at Davenport, the summoner.

In a panic, Davenport immediately attempted to pull a teleportation scroll from his pouch.

"Grawr! Grawr!"

The successive, shocking cries made the fragile Davenport’s head throb painfully, causing his right hand to tremble, momentarily unable to retrieve the scroll from his pouch.

’It’s over!’

’It’s over! I’m going to die!’

And just as the Red Dragon Mage was in despair, suddenly, a strong figure propelled by the wind charged forward, using a shield to defend in an electrifying instant.

"Clang! Clang!!" Sparks flew!

Raine helped Davenport withstand the fierce attacks from the four Elite Flom Demons consecutively.

’What? He actually saved me?’

Davenport’s eyes widened with extreme shock as he stared at Raine’s figure, utterly dumbfounded!

Actually, in the previous second, while Raine was thinking of watching the spectacle with glee, the next second, upon seeing the four Elite Flom Demons all turning against Davenport, a realization struck him, stunning his expression!

Immediately, he rushed to aid Davenport.

Even though he didn’t want to, he had no choice.

Raine felt somewhat helpless in his heart.

The reason was simple: Davenport possessed the Red Dragon bloodline.

Based on his experience in killing the White Dragon Mage Aiel, if he wanted to acquire the fragment of the Red Dragon bloodline, he had to kill Davenport himself. He couldn’t let the Elite Flom Demons devour him.

Couldn’t he just hammer Davenport to death directly?

Actually, no!

Because the four Elite Flom Demons were summoned by Davenport.

Raine had read some introductions to abyssal demon summoning in the Adventurer’s Association’s books; if he hammered Davenport to death now, the four Elite Flom Demons would instantly return to the Bottomless Abyss.

If that happened, he could obtain the fragment of the Red Dragon bloodline, but his plan with the Elite Flom Demons would go up in smoke!

Thus, a rather dramatic scene unfolded on the spot.

Raine wielded his hammer and shield at full power, ice crystals scattering, battling fiercely with the four Elite Flom Demons, while Davenport stood dazed, staring at Raine, who was protecting him.

This scene was also witnessed by Aaron, Laisa, and others who had just rescued their comrades and arrived at the cave entrance.

The two of them instantly widened their eyes and, after rubbing them, couldn’t believe the scene before them.

’What is this situation?’ Both of them simultaneously had this thought pop into their minds.

To be honest, it’s no wonder they couldn’t understand; in fact, anyone else seeing this scene would probably be equally baffled.

Aaron and Laisa exchanged a glance, looking bewildered!

"What?"

Behind them, three young people with different physiques were also stunned, staring at the scene before them.

After all, they had encountered the Flom Demons before and pursued them, so without a doubt, they were enemies.

And the young man wielding a hammer and shield, clad in spiked heavy armor, was evidently the esteemed Raine, as Aaron had mentioned, an ally.

By that logic, the black-robed mage being protected by Lord Raine should be their companion too.

But the problem was, unless their eyes were playing tricks on them, that guy was clearly the enemy leader who interrogated them in the cave earlier, the Red Dragon Mage Davenport!

Although the other party’s face had paled considerably, they trusted their eyes not to deceive them.

Thus, three faces full of question marks appeared, and a gaze turned towards Aaron and Laisa upfront.

"Aaron, is that...Lord Raine?" A freckled young girl in a white Priest Robe hesitated and asked.

"Yes!" Aaron, snapping back to reality, nodded. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"But why is he protecting the Red Dragon Mage Davenport? Doesn’t he know that Davenport is the enemy leader?" After receiving a positive answer, the freckled girl voiced her perplexing question.

Aaron didn’t know how to answer this, so he turned his gaze to Laisa.

But Laisa also had a bewildered expression at that moment!

"Cough...Raine must have his own reasoning, right?"

Laisa coughed to mask her embarrassment.

"Well...it’s fine...let’s just watch the battle."

"This...alright..."

And at that moment,

The battle at the front of the cave also shifted in dynamic.
