"You've done very well, Rudeus..." A hand gently rested on Rudeus's shoulder; though the movement was small, it conveyed a very solid feeling.
Rudeus, who was almost in despair and was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, saw Luo Ge behind him give him a bright smile.
Luo Ge grinned at him, revealing his pearly white teeth.
"Huh? You... when did you..."
"It's nothing, just a minor injury. In this world, as long as someone isn't about to die and still has a breath left, any God Rank magic can bring them back to life."
Seeing Luo Ge stand up again, Rujierd quickly retreated to Luo Ge's side. " Luo Ge... are you still able to fight?"
Of course you can.
Luo Ge smiled and nodded.
Eris, who helped Luo Ge reassemble his body, witnessed the miracle firsthand.
She never imagined that someone would be cut in two, especially not in the waist, and that they would only have one last breath left.
And yet... even in that state, he miraculously survived; it's truly a medical miracle.
"That's amazing... No wonder he's Rudeus's brother."
The adoration in Eris's eyes was almost undisguised.
Splash!!!
A cold wind blew from the opposite side of the Red Dragon's jaw, causing everyone's robes to flutter, but unsurprisingly, almost everyone's gaze fell on Luo Ge alone.
After nodding to the crowd, Luo Ge walked towards the Dragon God Orsted, who still stood proudly opposite him.
" Dragon God..."
"You didn't expect that, did you? I can stand up again!"
Orsted looked at him, his golden pupils narrowing slightly.
"Not bad! I was really surprised you could still stand up."
"But in your current state, you can barely stand up. How can you fight me?"
"Excuse me!"
Luo Ge grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth. "I was careless and didn't dodge just now. I won't make the same mistake this time, because I'm going to show my true skills."
" Luo Ge, you're fucking insane!"
"You just managed to pull yourself back to normal, how much magic power do you have left? Don't be stubborn... How about we just kneel down and surrender, and beg them to let us go?"
When Rogge heard Rudeus say he was going to surrender if he couldn't win, Luo Ge couldn't help but find it a little funny.
"Surrender?"
"The words 'surrender' and 'admit defeat' do not exist in my dictionary."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Ge's demeanor suddenly changed.
Everyone simultaneously sensed an indescribable unease.
Even though Luo Ge was standing still and hadn't done anything... everyone sensed it at the same time.
He has changed.
Just now, some subtle changes occurred to my body.
If you look away, you wouldn't even notice that there's someone like this next to you.
Its aura, magic, and even its presence seemed to have been completely erased by something invisible.
If Rudeus hadn't still been able to see him, he would have almost thought that Luo Ge had vanished into thin air.
"Transparent and Selfless"
Luo Ge's pupils were shrouded in a thin, grayish-white mist, yet his entire demeanor was extremely relaxed.
His shoulders drooped naturally, his hands hung at his sides, and even the rise and fall of his breath was barely noticeable.
But it was precisely this relaxed and natural state that made Orsted frown.
He seemed to realize something, and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.
"That's really impressive..."
"That's absolutely amazing..."
"Twelve years old, only twelve years old, yet he can step into the realm of gods with a mortal body..."
"Yeah?"
"Thank you for your praise. If it weren't for a powerful enemy like you... I wouldn't be standing before you today, much less have I reached this point."
"I've walked on thin ice to get to where I am today, and all of this... is thanks to you."
"My Dragon God..."
Snowflakes drifted down, instantly evaporating upon landing on Luo Ge.
If someone were to observe closely, they would notice that Luo Ge's eyes were completely expressionless.
The person was like a cold machine, devoid of any complex human emotions.
At this moment, he has transformed into a true fighting machine!
"... Enough talk! Dragon God! Let's see who's the real deal!"
"That's true."
Without further ado, Orsted wielded his sword with a swift motion, wielding the divine weapon forged by Chaos, one of the original Five Dragon Generals, for the First Dragon God.
As the only weapon in the world capable of bearing the power of a true god, the divine blade can cleave through all things in the world.
The current Dragon God Orsted, the son of the First Dragon God, is also the only person in the world who can perfectly unleash the power of this divine sword.
Its power is immense!
Devastating!
This divine blade, powerful enough to cleave anything in the world, transformed into a silver-white arc of light and slashed straight at Luo Ge's face.
The speed of this strike... was faster than any of the previous strikes.
This was a near-perfect strike; anyone would be reduced to ashes.
Even Rujierd and Rudeus couldn't catch the blade's trajectory in time; they only saw a flash of silver light before the blade was an inch in front of Luo Ge's brow.
Then... something incredible happened.
Luo Ge simply tilted his head.
Like a tiny movement a three-year-old could make, he simply tilted his head and dodged, and the blade grazed past his ear, easily avoiding it.
"What?"
"You... you dodged it?"
"I thought something big was going to happen... but Luo Ge just tilted his head like that? How did he do that?"
Rudeus stood there, stunned.
"Wow! Wow... that's amazing! No wonder you're Rudeus's brother. If it were Rudeus, he could definitely do it too, right?" Eris walked up to Rudeus, grabbed him, and shouted excitedly.
"That's unbelievable! How did he even do that? Honestly... in that situation..."
Rujierd couldn't help but gasp in surprise as well. He was usually a calm and composed person, but he was still taken aback when he saw what was happening before his eyes.
In the center of the battlefield, the battle between Luo Ge and the Dragon God continued...
It's getting worse.
Swish, swish, swish!!!!
Orsted continued to wield his divine sword in attacks. Although the moves were simple, each strike was so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye, and its power was earth-shattering.
But what was Luo Ge doing in the face of such a powerful attack from the Dragon God?
He leans to the left...
To the right...
Leaning back...
sideways...
The range of motion is pitifully small, sometimes only moving half a foot's distance.
But miraculously... every single cut just grazed his skin, narrowly avoiding them all.
It feels like dancing on a knife's edge; one wrong step and you'll fall into an abyss, never to recover.
"Wow! Is this Luo Ge's true strength? It's terrifying! Little Brother, you still say you didn't cheat?"
"Now that they're using cheat codes... they're not even bothering to act anymore, are they?" Rudeus thought to himself, frustrated.
No one knew...
At this moment, the world in Luo Ge's eyes had completely changed. Every movement of Orsted was dissected into countless flowing lines in his eyes.
The direction in which muscles exert force.
The trajectory of flowing magic.
The magnitude of the shift in the center of gravity.
This information formed a clear timeline in his mind, allowing him to know where the blade would come from and where it would go before it even reached his body.
This is the limit of Transparent World, turning battle into an arithmetic problem with a standard answer.
He could see before, but his physical abilities couldn't keep up. Now, however, he has entered a completely new realm.
To step into the realm of gods with a mortal body!
"... To step into the realm of gods with a mortal body?" Orsted couldn't help but repeat the question, his tone becoming more solemn.
" Rog Greyrat, you've really given me a pleasant surprise this time."
Dragon God Orsted took a half step back, his golden pupils reflecting Luo Ge's greyish-white eyes.
But everything... ends here.
Even Orsted had to admit that, in a simple contest of techniques, he was completely helpless against his opponent.
now.
He can only use the accumulated numerical values to absolutely crush his opponent; this is the power he has built up over hundreds of reincarnations, thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.
Hold the knife with both hands.
Raise it high.
He held the divine blade above his head, its dazzling brilliance radiating under the blazing sun, its chilling aura sending shivers down one's spine.
Because he had infused the divine sword with magic... it kept humming, and the air was compressed, making crackling and popping sounds.
Snowflakes are falling from the sky...
The pebbles on the ground began to float upwards.
However, Luo Ge's long hair danced in the wind, and his expression remained unchanged.
He forged ahead fearlessly.
What is the Dragon God?
It was nothing more than a stepping stone for him to reach the end of the world.
"This is my all-out attack! No moves, no style!"
At this moment, Luo Ge also raised the Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword high, unleashing a terrifying sword aura.
The next second.
He poured all the remaining magic power in his body into it without hesitation.
Even the Phoenix Elegant Dragon Sword, having been infused with too much magic, emitted a sword cry and lit up with a fiery red light.
" Rudeus, retreat!"
Suddenly, at the critical moment...
The person who shouted at the crowd was none other than Rujierd.
The battle-hardened Superd Tribe warrior grabbed Rudeus and Eris and ran wildly backward.
"Damn it! The Red Dragon's jaw is about to collapse!"
Although the two at the heart of the battle had not yet actually clashed in strength, the experienced Rujierd had already sensed the impending danger.
It was like the prelude to an impending storm.
... It's unclear how much time passed, but almost simultaneously, the two of them swung their weapons in perfect unison.
When two completely different forces...
In the blink of an eye, at the moment of impact!!!!
Rumble!!!
The clouds had completely submerged the area... utter silence... there was no sound, or rather, the sound was so loud that it nearly shattered one's eardrums, making it inaudible.
On the lower jaw of the crimson Red Dragon, where all was silent.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the entire main peak was split in two, and huge boulders were shattered like tofu, flying in all directions.
Rumble!!!
Splash!!!!
The ground rose and then collapsed, and cracks spread from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, swallowing everything in their path.
The surrounding mountains, as if triggered by a chain reaction, rapidly collapsed...
When the camera shifts away from the center of the battle and returns to Rudeus and his two companions, they are on the run.
On a steep, narrow mountain path near the lower jaw of the Red Dragon, Rujierd held Rudeus in one arm and Eris in the other.
He ran wildly all the way.
Behind them was a massive avalanche and falling rocks; if they had been any slower, the three of them would have been completely swallowed up and buried by the snow in an instant.
As for that battle...
He didn't have time to look back and see what happened to the two people; he only remembered the last moment.
Luo Ge and Orsted were engulfed by a blinding white light.
An avalanche chased them across half the mountain until midnight, when they finally escaped thanks to Rujierd's extensive wilderness experience.
However, at this moment, as the sun was setting, darkness quickly enveloped the earth.
And so... Rujierd, Rudeus, Eris lived at the foot of the mountain, setting up a tent.
With hearts full of anxiety, they spent the entire night worrying at the foot of the mountain.
The snow gradually stopped at dawn the next day...
As soon as the sun shone on the earth and a new day finally dawned, the three of them couldn't resist setting off to retrace their steps and find out what was going on.
However... because the battle was so intense, the only path leading in was completely blocked by a huge boulder.
So the three of them had no choice but to take a detour and climb again... when they finally climbed onto the Red Dragon's jaw.
This happened three days later.
After a long and arduous journey, Rudeus and his two companions finally returned to the ridge, but for a moment, none of them spoke.
The atmosphere at the scene was so quiet it was almost oppressive...
The Red Dragon's lower jaw is gone.
To be precise, the main peak of the Red Dragon's lower jaw is gone, which was the center of the battle between Luo Ge and the Dragon God.
Because it was extensively affected by the battle, the area has become a scene of devastation, looking like it had been ravaged by nuclear bombs after a world war.
Especially the mountainside, most of it is flat and smooth as if it had been cleaved by a giant axe, with charred burn marks still remaining on the cut surface.
The terrain within a radius of several miles was completely rewritten; the original valleys were filled with rubble, and new cliffs appeared out of nowhere.
The glacier at the foot of the mountain changed course, winding its way through the ruins to create a new river channel.
Eris swallowed hard. " Rudeus, those are two monsters..."
Rujierd was observing patiently. From the very beginning, he had been using the magic eye on his forehead to examine the traces of the battle nearby, trying to find any clues.
Unfortunately, nothing was found.
Not only is Luo Ge gone, but even the Dragon God has vanished.
Apart from the traces of their battle, both sides seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"There's no blood, and no body... but given the current situation... even if there were, it would probably be difficult to find."
Although Rujierd didn't say it explicitly, Rudeus clearly understood what Rujierd was trying to express through his implied meaning.
Snowflakes fell one by one from the sky...
Rudeus clenched his fists, his head bowed in remorse, letting the biting cold wind whip across his face, remaining silent and uttering not a word.
In this situation?
Is Luo Ge... is he still alive?
Rudeus dared not think about it, he simply couldn't bear to imagine it anymore. In that situation, winning or losing was no longer important; it was highly probable... that the two of them had perished together, hadn't they?
This is the most likely possibility Rudeus could think of.
Even Eris, who was usually carefree, keenly sensed the subtle atmosphere at that moment.
She gazed at Rudeus stood silently beside her with his head bowed.
Eris scratched her head, unsure how to comfort Rudeus, and could only look to Rujierd for help.
However, to Eris's surprise, Rujierd simply shook his head slightly at her.
" Eris... let Rudeus have some peace and quiet."
After Rujierd took Eris away, Rudeus could no longer hold back and broke down like a crying child.
He collapsed to the ground, snot streaming down his face, and cried his heart out.
Oh no!
"My little brother! Aa...
