The electric arcs on Gryffindor's hands were like a cat catching a mouse, slowly approaching. At this time, Mason had already exhausted all his mana, and his body was covered with wounds of all sizes. Not to mention resisting Gryffindor, even moving a finger would bring about a tearing pain. If it was someone else in such a desperate situation, most likely they would have already closed their eyes and waited for death …
However, Mason did not give up. Facing Gryffindor who was approaching him step by step, he stubbornly dragged his injured leg and moved towards the edge of the Aurora Square bit by bit. Fresh blood flowed continuously from his badly mutilated chest. As Mason moved with difficulty, he dragged a long trail of blood on the Aurora Square. This was because Mason knew that this was his only hope. If even this omnipotent roommate could not help him, then he could only close his eyes and wait for death.
"Mason, it's behind you, it's behind you!" Lin Li looked at this tragic scene, and was so anxious that his tears were about to flow. He could only watch his best friend suffer, but he could not help at all. To Lin Li, that feeling was like being bitten by a poisonous snake …
The only thing he could do was to cover his mouth with both hands and shout Mason's name with all his might, hoping that he could hear what he was saying.
However, the distance between them was at least ten meters, and Mason was severely injured. His eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were bleeding, and his brain was buzzing non-stop. How could he hear Lin Li's voice clearly? He could only vaguely hear his roommate calling his name, but he could not make out what exactly they were calling him for …
"What behind me?" Mason resisted the tearing pain and turned his head with great difficulty. However, there was nothing behind him other than the square that was paved with stone slabs. At this moment, Mason really wanted to bang his head against the wall and die. Master Felic, Master Felic, of all the things you could have played, why did you have to play with my life? Do you have to play with such excitement?
"Mage Mason, how do you feel?" Gryffindor was standing less than ten meters in front of him. One of his hands was still surrounded by electric arcs. The sound of the jumping electric arcs made Mason's scalp go numb.
"No … nothing much." Mason wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and squeezed out an extremely ugly smile. At this point, he had completely lost all hope. Even his omnipotent roommate could not help him. Who else could save him? Although Mason was not a man with a backbone, Gryffindor would definitely not let him off now that things had come to this. Instead of kneeling and begging for mercy, he might as well say a few more words while he could. Even if he could not escape death in the end, he could at least vent his anger …
"Really?" When Gryffindor spoke, he still had a smile on his face. However, in the next moment, his smile was filled with cruelty. "How about this one?"
Then, a dazzling electric light flashed …
With a sizzling sound, green smoke rose in an instant, followed by a shrill scream that pierced through the air of the square. Everyone in the entire Aurora Square could hear it clearly. Everyone's heart involuntarily tightened along with this scream. That feeling was as if a frog was pierced through an iron wire and then thrown into a furnace.
After the intense pain, there was endless numbness.
There was once a moment when Mason thought that he was really dead. There was no pain, no feeling, and his entire mind was empty. Other than the voice that was still echoing in his ears, it was as if there was nothing else in the world.
"Mason, it's behind you, it's behind you …"
"Behind …" The electric light exploded on his body. Mason's entire body was burnt black. The wounds were like squirrel fish, flipping up piece by piece. The endless pain and torture had long caused Mason to fall into a state of delirium. When he heard his roommate's shout, Mason subconsciously stretched out his hand and fumbled on the stone slab behind him …
"A little more to the right, just a little more …" Half of Lin Li's body was stretched out in the Aurora Square. His eyes were fixed on Mason, who was fumbling with difficulty. At this moment, his heart was in his throat. He was so nervous that it was as if he was the one in a competition.
"Behind … Behind … What's behind me? Eh … What's this … "Mason stretched out his hand in a daze. After fumbling for a long time, he finally felt something different. It was smooth and round, and when he held it in his hand, there was a hint of warmth coming from it …
This sudden discovery was like a shot of adrenaline. It immediately lifted Mason's spirits. Even the wounds on his body did not seem to be burning with pain anymore. He almost could not wait to grab the thing in his hand. Based on his senses, he judged that it should be a glass bottle.
"There's hope now …" When Mason saw that glass bottle, he knew that he would definitely not die. That omnipotent roommate of his was a true pharmacist. He had seen it with his own eyes at least twice. The first time was when he used a bottle of potion to save Orrin. The other time was when he gave potion potion to Andoine. The potion that he concocted would definitely ensure that he could safely pass through this competition.
"He finally found it …" Seeing that Mason held the potion in his hand, Lin Li finally let out a long sigh of relief.
He did not know who came up with this damned competition rule that actually forbade the use of potions.
From Lin Li's point of view, this was simply messing around. He did not know which idiot came up with this rule. He did not know anything about pharmacists, but he thought he was smart enough to come up with such a rule. In the end, he almost harmed Mason. How could this idiot know that a true pharmacist had at least ten ways to hide the potion in a place where no one could find it? There were even more than ten ways to drink the potion without being discovered by anyone.
This rule could only restrict people like Mason, who had a friend who was willing to give him potions, but did not know how to deceive others.
It was also because of the restriction of this idiotic rule that Lin Li had no choice but to think of such a method. He used the Ring of Endless Storm as a cover, and hid a bottle of potion between the slates in the Aurora Square early in the morning. When Mason and Gryffindor were fighting, he could take it out and use it.
To be safe, Lin Li deliberately took out the potion bottle that was carved from the Crystal of Eternity. This could minimize the risk of the potion being lost, and it would not be damaged during the battle. Unless it was directly hit by magic, even if it was an Archmage-level magic, it would be difficult to cause any damage to it through the aftermath.
It was a pity that things were too coincidental. When Mason went up just now, Lin Li originally wanted to tell him. Who knew that this fella's impassioned speech would cause Lin Li to be distracted. Before he could explain, this fella had rushed up in a hurry. In the end, before he could admit defeat, he was almost roasted by Gryffindor's Lightning on the spot …
Fortunately, Mason managed to find the bottle of potion before his throat became hoarse from all the shouting …
As long as he drank this bottle of potion, Mason should be completely safe. The bottle of Divine Protection Potion that he hid between the slates early in the morning was the power of half a black lotus. It was enough to protect Mason from any magical damage. Although it would not last long — only 10 seconds — to Mason, these 10 seconds were enough for him to safely retreat from the Aurora Square …
This time, Mason was rather smart. He held the bottle of Divine Protection Potion in his hand, but he was not in a hurry to drink it. This was because the two judges were not far away from him, and Gryffindor was staring at him like a tiger watching its prey. If he wanted to drink the potion at this moment, even if the two judges did not interfere, Gryffindor would not let him have his way.
He did not even need to spend much effort. He could just use a spell, and Mason would have to swallow the bottle along with him.
In order to numb Gryffindor and avoid the eyes of the judges, Mason had been holding the potion in his hand very carefully. His eyes were fixed on Gryffindor, and he was paying attention to his every movement. What Mason was waiting for now was a chance — a chance for him to drink the potion.
As for what would happen after drinking it, Mason did not even think about it. Anyway, it was impossible for Felic to harm him. As long as it was the potion that Felic took out, he would definitely be able to get out of this predicament. In the two months in Alanna, this kind of thinking had long been deeply ingrained in Mason's mind. It had become an almost instinctive habit. No matter what the situation was, his first choice was to subconsciously wait for this omnipotent roommate to make a decision.
It couldn't be helped. In these two months, Felic had brought too many miracles. From the first trial mission, to the survival of the Shadowglen, and now the finals in the Aurora Square, he had performed miraculous acts time and time again. Mason even suspected that there was nothing that this guy couldn't do other than giving birth to a child.
"Looks like Mage Mason is in a lot of pain. Why don't I help you get rid of it?" Gryffindor still had a smile on his face. He stretched out his right hand, and two Wind Blades condensed instantly. However, Gryffindor was not in a hurry to release them. He slowly walked towards Mason while manipulating the two Wind Blades to spin rapidly in his palm. The sharp sound of them breaking through the air made the mages in the spectator seats feel their scalps go numb …
"Hehe …" Mason forced a smile. His eyes were fixed on Gryffindor the whole time. He waited until Gryffindor was five meters away from him, just in time to put the two judges behind him. Mason then opened the cork and poured the whole bottle of Divine Protection Potion into his mouth.
"Keep it for yourself, idiot!"
