When the blood covered their vision, even Tang Hao's heart skipped a beat. He was so scared that he almost screamed.
Up until now, the three of them had given their all and were only one step away from success. They thought that victory was within their grasp, but who would have thought that the Bone Prison Breath would have such a trick? They were completely unprepared … No, even if they were prepared, facing so many zombies, how would they have the time to react?
Were they really going to fall short of success?
Thinking of this, Tang Hao wanted to tear the Bone Prison Breath into pieces.
But compared to that, the most important thing now was to save Celia's life. If the purification magic array failed, they could still try again, but if Celia died, it would be over for them.
However, when Tang Hao took a closer look, he discovered that Celia's feet were still hovering 30 centimeters above the ground. She was perfectly fine, and there wasn't the slightest trace of injury on her body. The purification of the large magic array was also proceeding methodically.
It wasn't Celia!
That was …
"Wah!"
A mouthful of blood was spat out. Only then did Tang Hao realize that the person who was stabbed by the trident was actually Binoche.
"It's … my mistake …"
Binoche said weakly. Tang Hao also understood why she was the one who was injured.
They were far away from the Bone Prison Breath, so it was difficult for them to notice its movements. But Binoche, who was fighting it, was clearly paying close attention to its every move. When it threw the trident, even if you used your heels to think, you would be able to guess what it was going to do.
After all, among the people present, the one who was the biggest threat to it was Celia.
And as a genius magician, Binoche would always have one or two teleportation spells. So, she, who had predicted the Bone Prison Breath's attack trajectory, was able to appear in front of Celia and block the attack for her.
However, this was a great price to pay. At least from Tang Hao's perspective, Binoche's injuries were very serious.
In reality, Binoche's body had fused with the flames. If it was just a simple physical injury, it wouldn't have affected her too much. However, the Bone Prison Breath trident contained a powerful Ice Breath. This energy wreaked havoc in her body, completely disrupting her control over the elements. She was unable to treat her injuries at all. Her originally rosy face quickly turned extremely pale, and she was in imminent danger.
Worst of all, there was no chance of treatment.
The Bone Prison Breath discovered that its trident had stabbed Binoche. This result was completely unsatisfactory, even though the person it wanted to kill the most was Binoche.
However, that was then and this was now. If Celia didn't die, its future would be completely over.
"Ah!"
The Bone Prison Breath opened its withered mouth and roared angrily. It was supposed to move slowly, but at this moment, it burst forth with astonishing speed. Then, Binoche once again blocked in front of it.
Ignoring the trident in her abdomen, and ignoring the fact that such a reckless action could lead to her death, Binoche's only thought at that moment was to block the Bone Prison Breath.
Tang Hao frowned. He knew that Binoche was not a match for the Bone Prison Breath in her current state. He quickly controlled a portion of the silver dagger and slashed at the Bone Prison Breath.
However, the next moment, Binoche shouted loudly, "Don't worry about me! Protect her! Leave this fellow … to me … "
Binoche's tone was no longer as full of energy as before. It sounded like the final radiance of a dying person, but her voice revealed an unprecedented determination.
Tang Hao suddenly understood.
Binoche had suffered a fatal injury, and she no longer wanted to live. She only wanted to fulfill her final wish before she died — to kill the Bone Prison Breath!
She had fallen to such a state because of the Bone Prison Breath, so it was reasonable for her to want to take revenge. Moreover, not only did she want to take revenge, she wanted to rely on her own strength to take revenge. This was probably the deepest obsession in her heart, so she did not want Tang Hao to take action.
Perhaps … before she decided to come here, Binoche had already prepared herself for death.
Tang Hao sighed and helplessly put away the silver dagger.
At this point, he didn't want to deprive Binoche of her final wish.
The Bone Prison Breath went berserk, but Binoche was even more unrestrained than it. It directly attacked the Bone Prison Breath with its dying body, which undoubtedly helped Tang Hao and the others. As the large magic formation continued to be purified, the surrounding zombies became fewer and fewer. Finally …
Hum —
When a melodious sound came from the air, Celia, who was in mid-air, opened her eyes and slowly descended.
The large magic formation had been purified.
"Ah! My … My power … "
The Bone Prison Breath let out a mournful cry. Most of its power came from the large magic formation. Now that the large magic formation had been purified, its power was also drained, and it instantly fell to the bottom.
Binoche saw the opportunity and blasted out a Meteor Exploding Flames.
Boom!!!
The intense flames instantly engulfed the Bone Prison Breath's body. Before this, it had already accumulated a lot of injuries, and it was only because of the power of the large magic array that it seemed strong. However, now, these injuries exploded together with Binoche's attack, directly giving it the most fatal blow.
With a loud bang, the Bone Prison Breath's body was completely shattered.
Then, under the burning of the flames, it slowly turned into ashes.
With the death of the Bone Prison Breath, the zombies that it had summoned also lost their ability to move. Without needing Tang Hao and the others to do anything, they all collapsed and began to rapidly rot.
However, at this moment, no one had the time to taste the fruits of victory. Everyone immediately went to Binoche's side.
"Binoche …"
Binoche was lying on the ground. The trident had already disappeared, but there was a horrifying wound on her abdomen. Apart from that, there was also a bloody claw mark on her chest, evidently caused by the Bone Prison Breath's claw before it died.
The black magic aura and the pale white aura of ice surrounded her body. The flames that symbolized her source of life had already become extremely dim.
Everyone had a sad look on their faces. Anyone could see that Binoche could not be saved.
Even if there was a nanny at this moment, it was impossible to save someone who was bound to die.
"Isn't it … not too bad …" However, Binoche revealed a trace of a smile. "The large magic formation has been preserved, and my responsibility is considered complete … The Bone Prison Breath is dead, and I have my revenge … Now, I no longer have any meaning to live in this world. Eternal rest is the best ending … Don't be sad for me, this was my decision from the start …"
"But I still have some regrets … In the end, I still could not repay Teacher Sharan's expectations … I also did not have the chance to say thank you to my sister … If possible, please help me …"
"Since you still have regrets, then these things should be done by yourself!"
Suddenly, Celia's stern voice interrupted her words.
Everyone could not help but be shocked. Even Tang Hao looked at Celia strangely.
Everyone could see that Binoche's situation was that she did not have much time left to live. No matter how many regrets she had, she could only let others take care of them. Celia's impolite tone was really not in line with her personality.
Binoche smiled bitterly. "The current me, where do I have the time …"
"No, there is still a chance." Celia shook her head and said seriously, "When I was purifying the large magic formation just now, I learned a secret skill of the elves from the large magic formation. It can pull the soul out of the body that has lost its vitality, and use the elemental form to attach to the body of another person."
"Elemental form?" Binoche was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Isn't that the same as before, what meaning is there …"
"As long as you live, there is hope. Isn't this what you said?" Celia squatted down beside her and smiled. "Moreover, at least there is one person that you can touch."
Touch!
This word made Binoche's eyes lit up. After so many years, she had almost forgotten what it felt like to touch the body of another person. If it was possible, even if it was just one person …
"You mean the secret skill?" Suddenly, Binoche's face showed a little more expectation.
Celia nodded. "Yes, I can help you do it, but … this is a secret skill from the elves, so you can only attach to an elf's body."
As soon as she said this, Tang Hao, Celia, and Binoche's eyes suddenly turned to Asuna. At the scene, only the two of them were elves, and Binoche directly looked at Asuna … Fire elves were the most suitable hosts for her.
But, this kind of thing, would Asuna be willing to accept?
Binoche wasn't sure. In front of this sudden glimmer of hope, she seemed to have become as cautious as when she was a little girl, not daring to ask.
And Kirito also understood the meaning of Celia's words. For Binoche, he sympathized with her, but also regretted her current situation. He didn't want such a companion who fought side by side with him to disappear. He immediately looked at Binoche and stretched out his hand. "If you're willing."
"Why wouldn't I be willing?"
Binoche said softly. She was ready to die, but if she could live, who would want to die?
She was still very young!
After that, Celia began to use the secret skill on the two of them.
Tang Hao and Asuna were watching from the side. Suddenly, they felt someone was pulling their arm. When they turned around, they saw Asuna covering her mouth and whispering: "Do you think Kirito's harem is acting up? He just came to this world two days ago, and he already accepted such a big sister into his harem."
Tang Hao curled his lips and said, "Not only that, Binoche is a fire mage. After becoming a fire elemental, she and Kirito will have a very high compatibility, and she can also teach him fire magic, which will greatly enhance his strength."
"Ah!" Asuna was shocked, "Then won't I be left far behind by him?"
"That's enough." At that moment, Celia nodded her head lightly.
The two of them immediately looked forward and saw that Binoche's body had disappeared. Kirito was still the same person, but there was a fire mark on the back of his hand. Then, the mark flashed, and a palm-sized little burning person floated out. It was Binoche.
She actually turned into such a mini form!
Tang Hao was stunned.
Is this the legendary … fire pet?!
