"Thanks dragon?" christopher muttered as he immediately took a few steps back, his eyelids twitching rapidly.
Seeing the old man stunned for a moment, Daryl shouted, “Gerald! Go now!"
The pilot himself took the cue to immediately turn on the helicopter.
While Gerald is very reluctant to leave, he is also well aware that his grandfather has used all his powers for his benefit. If he stayed here any longer, his grandfather's efforts would be in vain.
With that thought, he rushed to the helicopter.
As Christopher attempts to chase after the young man, Daryl immediately holds on tightly to him, preventing the old man from going any further.
“You called me mean before, but aren't you more than that? To think that you would actually use your dragon blessing to receive the blow of my mysterious mirror power! Even though I know that I cannot kill you, you will still be severely injured! There are still three months left until the promise of holy water occurs. I'm afraid you won't live long! ” said Christopher, feeling that he had no choice now that Daryl had suddenly bounced back.
He, feeling cornered was justified. After all, Christopher knew for sure that the dragon's blessing was not something to be looked down upon.
Adding to the fact that he still wanted to participate in the Holy Water Pledge, Christopher knew that giving everything to fight Daryl now would not be in vain.
Moreover, if Gerald managed to escape, then the possibility to further increase his strength before the promise would be completely impossible.
With that in mind, after a few struggles, he managed to break away from Daryl's clutches.
As Christopher ran towards the helicopter—which had been lifted now—Daryl knelt on one knee as he began to vomit blood. Knowing that he no longer has the strength or energy to chase after Christopher, Daryl can only look at the helicopter with worried eyes.
After flying quite far from the island, the pilot said, “Don't worry, young master, because the helicopter is already quite high now! I doubt he can keep chasing us from up here!”
“It was nice to hear.. Still, I wonder how grandpa is doing now. To think that Christopher had such a powerful magic artifact with him! ” replied Gerald, his voice filled with worry.
“Master is so strong that you don't have to worry about him. No matter how powerful Christopher's magic artifact is, I believe that he will not be able to do serious damage to his master. Just so you know, his master might have been distracted earlier because you still haven't taken off. Now that we have escaped Christopher, the master can fully focus on him, ” said the pilot.
However, as he said that, the helicopter suddenly shook slightly. It felt like something weighty had just stuck to the bottom of the aerial vehicle.
Surprisingly, a second later, a head was seen peering through the helicopter window! It was Christopher!
Even before Gerald had a chance to react, the old man shook his wrist slightly, sending a white light into the helicopter!
After which, the sound of an explosion could be heard, and after a great tremble, the helicopter started to fall!
It wasn't long before it collided with the ground, and after the collision, rocks were thrown everywhere as the blazing flames engulfed the helicopter!
Debris was everywhere as the injured Gerald slowly sat down before getting up. Since he was a semi-great master now, his body could withstand more than what an ordinary person could. However, the same cannot be said for the deceased pilot.
“There really is no reason for you to keep running, you know? Comewith me. With you, I will get the possibility to further increase my strength before the promise of holy water,” said Christopher—who has been standing next to— with a faint smile on his face.
"Go past my corpse!" gerald growled while gritting his teeth before immediately using all his energy to throw his short sword at the old man!
Aimed at Christopher's chest, the shortsword whistled as it swiftly flew across the air, only for the sword to be captured by Christopher with just two of his fingers!
“See you used a hidden weapon. Although impressive, you are still too weak to defeat me, Son!” christopher answered, his smile widened.
Seeing that, despair struck Gerald. He thought that he would at least have a slim chance of survival. After all, even though he knew he was going to die based on the prediction of the sun image, he still wanted to participate in the promise of holy water before that.
To think that Christopher would corner her like this.
In his mind, Gerald felt that ending his own life there and then would be much better than being captured and most likely tortured by Christopher.
With his mindset, Gerald's eyes were filled with killing intent as he slowly raised his hand, ready to commit suicide.
However, as his hand lifted, a whistling sound could be heard.
Looking at the source of the voice, Gerald was stunned when he saw that short sword— that was still wedged between Christopher—'s fingers was now shaking in place.
The old man himself was even more surprised. However, he quickly regained his composure and began to increase the strength his fingers had on his blade.
Suddenly, the shiny black short blade emitted a flash of red light! Upon closer inspection, it now looked like it had just been removed from the workshop…
