There were three major misconceptions in life. "Someone's looking for me (my cell phone rang)," "She likes me," "I can counterattack …"
But when Harloys informed me that Little Red had actually woken up at this time, I became certain that this wasn't a misconception.
"My chance has come. I really can counterattack!"
I was quite familiar with Little Red's power level. The foundational part of leveling up was to retain most of one's previous power level. Most people would only become stronger. In that case, if I worked together with Little Red, it was highly likely that I would be able to counterattack.
The dragon egg in my backpack kept jumping about. Its fiery red mana waves kept jumping about like ocean waves. Its powerful life force was like a volcano about to erupt. There was no mistaking it. Little Red had finished leveling up and was about to break out of her egg.
I grit my teeth and tossed the dragon egg out as I watched my pursuers get closer and closer.
Lasnina hurriedly dodged due to the incredibly high magical reaction. She also needed to be on guard against forbidden spell scrolls or magical explosion crystals.
"It's you, the Iron Tyrannosaurus … little fire dragon?"
As I expected, fiery clouds covered the dragon egg in the sky. What appeared in the sky was a mighty and domineering … little fire dragon …
Its body was less than 1.5 meters long, and it had a round belly and head. Its red dragon wings were flapping slowly, and when it yawned, it spat out a small flame. It was indeed a cute little fire dragon.
"Ein Mezus?"
The confused little fire dragon turned its head in confusion. It was as if a bean-sized question mark had appeared on its head. No matter what her leveling up was, there was obviously something wrong with her cute appearance, wasn't there?
An abnormal silence appeared on the battlefield. But the next instant, viper-shaped magical blades covered the entire sky. Lasnina definitely wouldn't be in a daze on the battlefield.
Little Red, who had just recovered from her daze, paused in surprise when she saw the vicious demoness approaching her. Then, she started panicking.
"Gaa."
What a strange word. Could it be that Little Red was so shocked that she lost the ability to speak?
"Damn it!"
I was also astonished by this sudden development. However, I knew that if I waited a few more seconds, it would have been murder.
A silver sword light clashed violently against the blood-red magic sword. The dragon-armored Knight charged right in front of Lasnina's little fire dragon. This was the first time that Lasnina and I had ever faced each other head-on.
He didn't even need to raise his head to see that the sky was filled with whip marks, and behind him was a dense horde of cursed creatures. It had only been an instant since they started fighting, but he was already at a disadvantage.
"Too fast …"
Lasnina's magic sword had already surpassed the limits of what ordinary creatures could react to. Even a top-level human martial artist, a Sword Saint, would be nothing in front of a Devil Lord who had trained for thousands of years.
The scene of a one-sided beating played out once again. The magic sword was like a whip that was everywhere. It was just as disgusting as Lasnina's maniacal laughter.
The next moment, an ice wall appeared in front of me. Although it was instantly shattered by the magic sword, it gave me a chance to catch my breath.
I didn't have the ability to forcefully cast a spell while being attacked by a Devil Lord.
Red fireballs, black gravity bombs, and snow-white ice bombs. In that instant, the entire sky was filled with all kinds of offensive spells.
"Harloys …"
I turned around and looked at Harloys. Perhaps it was because her opponent this time was far too troublesome, or perhaps it was because Harloys finally had enough power, but the flying black cat was floating in midair. The several dozen magic arrays behind her kept spitting out all kinds of magic balls.
The black cat with bat wings seemed just like a witch from a western fairy tale. She was holding a small magic wand in one of her paws and constantly waving it around. She also wore a magical hat and a small cape that buffed her strength. Her other paw kept flashing as she held a silver magical sand.
She looked rather comical, but even more so, cute.
The several dozen magic arrays kept spinning as if they were alive. However, they were actually under the cat's control as they collided with each other and changed.
Fireballs, Flame Explosion, Great Fire Awl, Fire Array, Dragon Breath, Lightning Strike, Lightning Ball, and Chain Lightning. These magic arrays were all of the same power level, but they were now higher-level offensive spells. The most inconceivable part was that these magic arrays actually didn't use up any of her mana at all. Instead, they entered an endless cycle of their own.
Harloys's attack helped me regain my senses. The silly cat was now at the Myth rank and was no weaker than she had been in the past. When considering her past experiences and "age", it was likely that she had already surpassed Little Red.
"A magical version of a perpetual motion machine? What kind of joke is that? "
"It's just a simple application of the balance of the four elements. Ha, stop studying it. It's not like you'll ever be able to learn it in your entire lifetime. "
Harloys had added even more tricks to the ordinary low-level elemental spells. Just by looking at them, she was able to tell that they were far beyond the ordinary four elements. She had high-level elven secret Moon Star magic, alchemists' metal decomposition and disintegration magic, and troll witch doctors' witchcraft curses.
Now that the silly cat was no longer restricted by her undead body, Harloys was able to unleash all of her accumulated power over tens of thousands of years. The sky was filled with magic bullets of various colors, making it seem like an exhibition of all magic systems.
Every type of magic came from a different magic system. Different magic bullets would require different methods of dealing with them. Delayed explosions, curved attacks, cluster bombs, ricocheting bombs, and so on. The sky became a drawing board that a willful child was casually scribbling on.
I looked at the dizzying magic arrays and magic spells that filled the sky. Although most of them were mid-level and low-level spells that were no higher than the Fourth Circle, I was still unable to understand more than half of them.
I once again confirmed why Harloys was called the "All-knowing One". Perhaps this silly cat had been limited by her power level for so many years, and it was finally time for her to make a comeback.
Even an entire angel army would be instantly annihilated by such a large-scale cannon fire … However, a Devil Lord would be far more difficult to deal with than an angel army!
Lasnina's berserk magic sword began to casually tear open dimensional cracks as countless cursed creatures fell from them. Some of these cursed creatures became Lasnina's meat shields, while others actively welcomed the magic spells and began devouring the pure mana.
Perhaps special methods would be required to deal with these magic spells directly, but summoning cannon fodder to sacrifice themselves seemed to be the simplest and most violent method.
Harloys seemed to know that her magic bullets would be unable to pose any fatal threat to Lasnina. She simply continued to chant an incantation. However, Harloys was angrily rebuking her through our soul connection.
"Idiot, don't just stand there and watch. Can't you see that I'm chanting an incantation? Go and act as a cannon fodder — er, a meat shield!"
Alright, my sword techniques were being suppressed, and my mana level was being suppressed. It seemed that my most useful ability right now was my turtle shell.
I smiled wryly as I instantly appeared in front of Lasnina. It seemed that I would have to act as a meat shield after all.
At this moment, the previously forgotten little fire dragon … er, Little Red suddenly appeared in front of Lasnina and spat out a fireball.
