Splash!
As the sound faded, a blue vortex appeared out of thin air not far away.
The vortex spun slowly, its edges shimmering like water, drawing in the falling snowflakes in circles, forming a translucent ring in the air.
From the depths of the vortex, a Migurd Tribe girl riding a large white dog slowly emerged.
She had blue hair tied in a neat single ponytail, and her figure was so petite that she looked like a child who hadn't fully grown up yet.
He wore a tattered mage's robe and a wide-brimmed mage's felt hat, the brim pulled low. In his hand he held a magic wand, " The Aqua Heartia," the tip of which gleamed with a faint blue light.
The large white dog pawed silently on the snow, its body enveloped in a faint halo, and even the falling snowflakes melted away as they approached it.
If Luo Ge were to wake up, he would surely discover that this blue-haired girl bears a striking resemblance to Professor Roxy, almost identical.
"... Are you Roxy Migludia?"
The Dragon God Orsted also noticed the blue-haired girl and blurted out instinctively.
However, he quickly began to deny it. "No... you can't be her, Roxy couldn't possibly be here at this time."
So... who exactly are you?
The blue-haired Migurd Tribe girl smiled and said, "Who am I? Hmm... that's not important."
"The important thing is that he can't die here today." She pointed to Luo Ge lying on the ground, her tone neither too loud nor too soft, as if stating something perfectly natural.
"Can't die?"
"Hmm? Are you also Apostle of the Human God? Trying to stop me?!" The Dragon God seemed to be provoked, a cold killing intent suddenly appearing in his eyes, and his hand gripping the Godblade tightened slightly.
The cold glint of the blade reflected the snow.
It was so cold it sent chills down my spine, and the surrounding air seemed to grow heavier.
The girl opposite seemed to have a headache, pursed her lips, and had an expression that said, "I knew this would happen."
She waved her hand gracefully. "I am an apostle, but let me clarify first, I am not Apostle of the Human God, but an apostle of the Dragon God."
"Huh?"
These words startled the Dragon God, who seemed not to have quite grasped the meaning.
Apostle of the Dragon God?
Wait a moment?
When did I become an apostle?
You have to understand that through hundreds of reincarnations, he has always been fighting alone... People come and go around him, and none of them can stay until the end.
When did he become an apostle himself?
The Dragon God looked at the blue-haired girl who was chatting with him, as if he had finally realized something, and then he looked at the blue-haired girl opposite him again.
"Seriously... you dare to look me in the eye? Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Uncle Long, are you referring to the fact that you are cursed?"
How did you know?
The Dragon God frowned.
"How would I know? It's a long story... it's too complicated to explain."
"After all, I simply don't have much time left."
The blue-haired girl waved her hand, her tone tinged with regret, as if she genuinely lamented that there wasn't enough time for her to finish telling the whole story.
"Well, this time I can only get to the point: you can't kill the person lying on the ground, because he is your only hope for turning the tide and defeating the Hitogami."
"Yeah?"
"But why do you think I'd believe your one-sided account?"
The Dragon God's golden pupils narrowed slightly, as if weighing the weight of those words.
He glanced down at the white-haired boy on the ground, then looked up at the little girl riding on the dog's back.
Lara continued to raise her bet, "... Could you let me get a little closer? There are some secrets I can only tell you alone."
The Dragon God looked at the other party, and without hesitation, nodded in agreement.
The harmless girl jumped off the dog's back, patted Leo's head to signal it to wait for her, and then walked alone to the Dragon God.
Lara didn't stand on ceremony and acted like she knew everyone. She tried to stand on tiptoe, but then she looked troubled.
"You're too tall, I can't reach you even when I jump..."
"..."
Dragon God Orsted hadn't expected to cooperate with the other party, and then he voluntarily squatted down.
Seeing this, Lara's lips curled into a playful expression. She leaned close to the Dragon God's ear and whispered a few words.
The sound was so soft that it was almost completely drowned out by the wind and snow; only the Dragon God could hear it.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon God's expression immediately changed drastically, his pupils shrinking sharply. "... How could you know this secret?"
"I know."
"I actually know everything about Uncle Long."
The blue-haired girl playfully stuck out her tongue, her face completely innocent. When she saw the Dragon God's reaction, she knew that she had completely won over Uncle Dragon.
This game is in the bag.
Hehe, but the feeling of showing off in front of Uncle Jackie is just so great!
The blue-haired girl took a step back, put her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and suddenly smiled mischievously, "Uncle Long... how about we make a bet?"
"... Anyway, you have countless chances to start over, so why not... trust me this time? I, Lara, will personally create a future that will satisfy you."
"Before I agree to your request, answer me! Who exactly are you?"
"Oh well, there's nothing I can do."
"Since Uncle Long is so eager to know, then I'll tell you."
The blue-haired girl's expression suddenly became very serious. She cleared her throat first, and then introduced herself in a very formal manner.
Listen up...
"The person standing before you is Lara Greyrat. You can also call me the future savior, the legendary rising star, the legendary mage, the genius girl of the Greyrat family..."
She rattled off a string of titles fluently and smoothly, as if she had rehearsed them countless times.
Even the Dragon God couldn't help but frown after hearing a string of titles.
Moreover... even the big white dog that always followed the girl looked at her with a face full of disgust.
Leo turned his head away, as if he couldn't stand it anymore.
However, after careful consideration, the Dragon God left without saying anything, which was the best proof of his attitude at that moment.
"Wait a moment..."
Suddenly Lara called out to the Dragon God Orsted, causing a flicker of hesitation to cross his face as he stared at the girl with a look of utter confusion.
At this moment... the girl Lara stepped forward and handed him a cloth bag that she had prepared beforehand.
The bag was filled with a bunch of colorful magic crystals.
"These are magic crystals... They can help you restore your magic, Uncle. Although we didn't bring many, if we're careful with our spending, it should be enough."
Dragon God Orsted didn't reach out to take it, but frowned. "Magic crystal? This kind of thing can't help me restore magic power; I've already tried the method."
"Hehehe... What if I told you... this magic crystal has been improved by me? I'd dare give it to you, but I don't know if Uncle Long has the guts to try it."
Dragon God Orsted's heart skipped a beat; clearly, he was beginning to waver. He wasn't afraid the other party was lying, after all, what if they were telling the truth?
You see... his slow magic recovery speed has always been his biggest problem. Several times he successfully went to the " Void World," and he clearly saw evil Hitogami.
It was almost finished...
But what was the result?
Faced with the God Rank power of Hitogami, he, whose magic power was almost depleted, was instantly killed.
Having gone through so many reincarnations...
This made the Dragon God realize a problem: if his magic power wasn't at its maximum, he had no chance of defeating the Hitogami.
Although it was only their first meeting with the girl named Lara... the Dragon God Orsted's intuition told him that he could trust this girl.
Despite her constant use of the term "Uncle Dragon"... which was quite offensive... for some reason, the Dragon God Orsted didn't seem to dislike the feeling.
As she gently crushed one of the special magic crystals as instructed by the girl, he was already prepared to take action after being deceived.
However.
A miracle happened.
He discovered that he could absorb the magic within, and he didn't reject it.
"How is this possible?!"
The Dragon God Orsted remained expressionless, but his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.
Once he realized that his magic could be restored, he finally believed the girl in front of him and nodded seriously.
The reason is very simple...
If the other party were Human God Apostle, they would never come to aid the enemy without a reason.
" Lara, right?"
"You're very good... I've remembered your name."
The Dragon God voluntarily withdrew his Godblade, turned around, and disappeared step by step into the depths of the wind and snow.
The figure grew fainter and fainter...
Finally, it was completely swallowed up by the heavy snow, as if it had never existed.
When she saw the Dragon God finally leave, Lara let out a long sigh of relief, collapsing onto Leo's back as if all her bones had been removed. "I didn't expect... I actually managed to persuade him. You really are something else."
She patted her chest, looking shaken. "Phew... to be honest... Leo... I almost thought this negotiation was going to fail."
"But hehe... I never thought that one day I Lara, would be able to put on such a big show in front of Uncle Dragon God."
Just as Lara was basking in the glow of her successful bragging, unable to pull herself out of it...
Suddenly, I felt my sleeve being tugged hard.
"Hey, what are you doing, Leo!"
Leo couldn't speak, then pointed with his paw at the dying Luo Ge beside him.
"Huh?"
A gust of wind suddenly blew by, Lara) on her head suddenly shook. Startled, she finally realized what was happening.
"Oh no! I almost forgot the important thing! You idiot Leo, why didn't you say so sooner!"
"Woof woof woof!!!"
Leo the dog barked, looking utterly aggrieved; he couldn't even speak properly.
When Lara rushed to Luo Ge's side, she quickly knelt down and looked at his pale, bloodless face and his snow-white hair, which had turned white due to the depletion of his magic.
He lost too much blood and fell into a coma.
Lara was silent for a moment, but without hesitation, she simply reached out and gently brushed aside the stray hairs on Luo Ge's forehead, revealing his excessively young face.
Then she sighed softly, her tone carrying an indescribable tenderness. "Looks like I'm not too late. I never imagined... Dad would be in such a sorry state."
"Hmph, what a stupid old man."
