"Grrr—!"
Hokuto let out an immensely spirited dragon roar.
"Roar—!"
The wyverns all roared joyfully one after another.
Luo Zhen and Mashu leaped into the air amid the dragon horde, their hands clasped tightly together. In the end, they landed atop Hokuto's head together.
"Are you all right, Senior?"
Mashu immediately called out to Luo Zhen.
"I'm fine."
Luo Zhen shook his head, then noticed that Mashu's skin was covered in charred marks.
They were the burns she had suffered from Dragon Breath when she had disregarded her own safety to break through the encirclement formed by the three-headed dragon.
Seeing those marks, Luo Zhen seemed to understand something. Without saying a word, he silently inscribed a rune in Mashu's palm.
"Clang..."
The rune emitted a faint glow, sending out waves of warmth that continuously healed Mashu's body.
Only then did the charred marks on Mashu's body gradually disappear, causing the tension in the girl's face to ease.
At the same time, on the ground, Medb rolled away. After who knew how many rotations, she finally came to a stop and lay there, unable to move again.
A bloody hole had been opened in the region of her heart. Not only was a great deal of blood flowing from it, but Medb's body was also radiating a particle-like light.
It was a sign that her Saint Graph was about to dissipate.
"Ugh... ngh..."
With her Spirit Core shattered, Medb seemed unable to muster any strength at all. She could only let out a pained moan.
"Queen Medb..."
Seeing Medb in that state, Mashu could not help lowering her eyes.
"Have you tasted the bitter fruit?"
Even Scathach, who was still contending with the seven-headed dragon, let out a faint sigh.
Besides her, someone else also had something to say about
