Chapter 19: A Close Victory

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Alice noticed Adrian, who was moving quietly. She furrowed her eyebrows as she did not understand his behavior.

However, very quickly, Alice seemed to have thought of something. Her face became calm and she began to command the Silver Moon Snow Crystal Bear to protect Adrian.

However, controlling two spiritual beasts at the same time consumed too much of Alice’s mental strength. Soon, her face became increasingly pale and her delicate body swayed slightly as if she was about to fall.

Charles, on the other hand, had just established a contract with his spiritual beast not too long ago. Furthermore, his spiritual beast was the lowest leveled spiritual beast in the entire arena. As a result, his Armored Mane Pig could not hold on much longer and was being suppressed.

Fortunately, the Armored Mane Pig’s defense was astonishing enough that it would not be killed anytime soon.

However, when Charles saw his own spiritual beast being beaten up, his heart clenched tightly and ached!

Meanwhile, Adrian was getting closer and closer.

Cenir stood on top of the Fire Demon Lizard and looked down from above. He quickly noticed Adrian’s small actions, but he didn’t take it to heart at first. After all, he saw that Adrian didn’t even have a flintlock on him.

However, it was intolerable for someone to play tricks in the eyes of Cenir. Hence, while the Fire Demon Lizard was fighting the Silvermoon Snow Crystal Bear, he ordered it to spit out flames that could melt rocks!

Adrian looked at the flames flying towards his face. His heart was beating wildly, and he was extremely nervous!

At this moment, an ice wall suddenly rose in front of Adrian and blocked the flames.

As the flames roasted the ice wall, white mist appeared. This was a very good cover.

Thus, Adrian didn’t stop moving. He quickly ran into the mist and relied on his blurry vision to decisively charge towards the Fire Demon Lizard.

Five feet, four feet, three feet…

He was continuously getting closer. He was desperately getting closer!

Upon seeing this, Cenir had no idea why Adrian was trying so hard to get close to him.

Then, he suddenly had a bad feeling. He absolutely couldn’t let Adrian get close!

“Fire Demon Lizard! Quickly kill him!” Cenir clenched his fists and shouted.

The Fire Demon Lizard received the order and looked at the thick mist in front of it.

Due to the fact that most of the spiritual beasts had poor eyesight, it was only barely able to identify Adrian’s location with its not-so-sensitive sense of smell. Then, it spit out balls of flames.

Adrian could clearly feel the scorching flames flying towards him. Several of the flames seemed to have missed him.

However, one of the flames was getting hotter and hotter. Just as he felt danger, ice walls rose from his side!

Adrian knew that Alice was intentionally covering for him. Thus, he had no worries and approached the Fire Demon Lizard at full speed!

However, at the same time, Alice was about to collapse.

She grabbed her aching head and felt a strong sense of drowsiness.

“I can’t fall!” Alice suddenly bit down hard on her lips until blood flowed out!

However, this was not without its effect. The intense pain was stimulating Alice’s body and barely helped her resist the sleepiness.

Since the Fire Demon Lizard was constantly attacking Adrian, he was forced to slow down even with the protection of the Silver Moon Snow Crystal Bear. He was already less than two feet away!

“Don’t bother about those two spiritual beasts. Hurry up and kill this kid with me!”

Just as Cenir finished speaking, he suddenly felt the body of the Fire Demon Lizard trembling violently!

“Beast! Hurry up and stabilize your body!” Cenir stomped his feet fiercely, wanting the contractual spiritual beast to behave.

However, not only did the Fire Demon Lizard not listen, it also shook its body in a frenzy and dropped Cenir, who had been standing on its head.

“Roar!” The Fire Demon Lizard roared into the sky and flames spurted out in all directions. It swayed its body as if it had been stimulated by something that made it feel pain and insanity!

At the same time, the two spiritual beasts under the control of Cenir’s two teammates also showed signs of abnormality.

One of the spiritual beasts seemed to have gone mad. It carelessly attacked its surroundings and even burned its master to death!

Meanwhile, the other spiritual beast was extremely weak. It crawled on the ground, as if it was seriously ill.

Looking at the scenes unfolding before his eyes, Adrian was undoubtedly very excited!

“It was a success! A success!” Adrian murmured excitedly, almost crying.

When Alice saw this, a faint smile appeared on her pale face. She felt relieved.

However, it was precisely this relief that caused her to finally be unable to endure the sleepiness and simply faint.

Charles saw that the Captain beside him had suddenly fainted. He didn’t know what had happened and said in a panic, “Captain, Captain, what’s wrong?”

When Adrian saw that Alice had fainted, he couldn’t care less about the crazy spiritual beasts in front of him and quickly ran over.

“Her mental strength is nearly depleted…” Adrian murmured while examining the girl’s body. “I remember Alice buying a vitality potion.”

Adrian hurriedly said, “Charles, go back to the camp and look for the vitality potion. She needs to replenish her mental strength immediately!”

Charles didn’t dare to delay. He hurriedly nodded and ran back.

Meanwhile, the dense mist on Cenir’s side had slowly dispersed. Adrian focused his gaze and finally saw the result.

Two stiff spiritual beasts and two burnt corpses lay on the ground.

As for the Silver Moon Snow Crystal Bear and the Limitless Rabbit, they had already turned into specks of starlight and were naturally summoned back due to their owner’s lack of mental strength.

Only the Armored Mane Pig was still vigilant as it looked at the weakened Fire Demon Lizard, who had released its magic power in a frenzy.

Adrian didn’t know why the Fire Demon Lizard had not been killed, unlike the other two spiritual beasts. Perhaps it was because the Fire Demon Lizard was a Level-3 spiritual beast, or perhaps it was because its body was tough enough.

No matter what the reason was, Adrian knew that the Fire Demon Lizard could no longer threaten them.

However, just as he was thinking about this, Adrian suddenly realized that Cenir had disappeared!

Adrian shifted his gaze from side to side, nervously searching for any sign of Cenir. He murmured, “Where the hell did he run off to?”

Suddenly, Adrian noticed a figure faintly appearing in the distance.

Although he couldn’t see the figure clearly, he knew that it was Cenir!
