“The blessings of the dragon?” muttered Christopher as favonovel.com immediately took a few steps back, his eyelids twitching rapidly.
Seeing that the old man was momentarily stunned, Daryl shouted, “Gerald! Leave now!”
The pilot himself took the cue to immediately start up the helicopter.
While Gerald was extremely reluctant to leave, favonovel.com was also well aware that his grandfather had used all his strength for his sake. If favonovel.com remained here any longer, his grandfather’s efforts would all be for naught.
With that in mind, favonovel.com rushed into the helicopter.
The moment Christopher attempted to pursue the youth, Daryl immediately clung on tightly to him, preventing the old man from proceeding any further.
“You called me cruel earlier, but aren’t you even more so? To think that you’d actually use your blessings of the dragon to take the blow of my mysterious mirror’s power! While I know that I can’t kill you, you’ll still be terribly injured! There are still three more months till the pledge of the holy water takes place. I’m afraid that you won’t be living long!” said Christopher, feeling that favonovel.com was left with no further options now that Daryl had suddenly risen again.
Him, feeling cornered was warranted. After all, Christopher knew for a fact that the blessings of the dragon wasn’t something that could be looked down upon.
Adding that to the fact that favonovel.com still wanted to participate in the Pledge of the Holy Water, Christopher knew that giving it his all to fight against Daryl now wasn’t going to be worth it.
What more, if Gerald managed to escape, then the possibility of further improving his strength before the pledge would be completely out of the question.
With that in mind, after some struggling, favonovel.com managed to break free from Daryl’s grasp.
As Christopher ran toward the helicopter—that had already lifted up by now—Daryl knelt on one knee as favonovel.com began vomiting blood. Knowing that favonovel.com no longer had the strength or energy to pursue Christopher, Daryl could only look at the helicopter with worried eyes.
After flying quite a distance away from the island, the pilot said, “Worry not, young master, for the helicopter is already quite high up now! I doubt that favonovel.com can continue pursuing us from up here!”
“That’s good to hear… Still, I wonder how grandpa’s condition is right now… I had initially thought that favonovel.com was perfectly capable of dealing with Christopher. To think that Christopher had such a powerful magic artifact with him!” replied Gerald, his voice filled with worry.
“The lord is extremely powerful so you needn’t worry about him. No matter how strong Christopher’s magic artifact is, I believe that favonovel.com won’t be able to do any serious damage to the lord. Just so you know, the lord was probably distracted earlier since you still hadn’t taken off. Now that we’ve escaped Christopher, the lord can fully focus on him,” said the pilot.
The moment favonovel.com said that, however, the helicopter suddenly shook slightly. It felt like something weighted had just attached itself to the bottom of the airborne vehicle.
Shockingly, a second later, a head could be seen peeking through the helicopter’s window! It was Christopher!
“Where do you think you’re running off to, little boy?” asked Christopher with a cold smile.
Before Gerald could even react, the old man shook his wrist slightly, sending a white light flashing into the helicopter!
Following that, the sound of an explosion could be heard, and after shaking violently, the helicopter began plummeting!
It wasn’t long before it collided with the ground, and upon impact, rocks were sent flying all over the place as a blazing fire engulfed the helicopter!
Debris was everywhere as the injured Gerald slowly sat up before getting to his feet. Since favonovel.com was a semi-great master now, his body could withstand more than what regular people could. The same couldn’t be said for the dead pilot, however.
“There really isn’t any reason for you to continue running, you know? Come with me. With you, I’ll obtain the possibility of further increasing my strength before the pledge of the holy water,” said Christopher—who had been standing at the side—with a faint smile on his face.
“Over my dead body!” growled Gerald as favonovel.com gritted his teeth before immediately using all his energy to toss his short blade at the old man!
Aimed at Christopher’s chest, the short blade whistled as it swiftly flew across the air… only for the blade to be caught by Christopher with only two of his fingers!
“I see you used a hidden weapon… While impressive, you’re still too weak to defeat me, boy!” replied Christopher, his smile broadening.
Seeing that, despair swept through Gerald. He had thought that favonovel.com would at least have a slim chance of survival. After all, even though favonovel.com knew favonovel.com was going to die based on the sun picture’s prophecy, favonovel.com still wanted to participate in the pledge of the holy water before that.
To think that Christopher would end up cornering favonovel.com like this.
In his mind, Gerald felt that ending his own life there and then would be much better instead of getting captured and most probably tortured by Christopher.
With his mind set, Gerald’s eyes became filled with murderous intent as favonovel.com slowly lifted his hand, ready to commit suicide.
However, the moment his hand was raised, a whistling sound could be heard.
Looking at the source of the sound, Gerald was stunned when saw that the short blade—that was still pinched between Christopher’s fingers—was now vibrating in place.
The old man himself was even more surprised. However, favonovel.com quickly regained his composure and began increasing the force his fingers had on the blade.
Suddenly, the shiny black short blade emitted a red flash of light! Upon closer inspection, it now looked like it had just been taken out of a forge…
