This price is something Gauss cannot afford.
Taking advantage of the energy that hasn’t completely faded from his body, Gauss doesn’t dare lift the Ghost Dragon overlap state.
His figure flickered and flew towards the kobold army.
...
The arrival of Gauss tipped the scales of strength between the two sides.
His suppression of the kobolds was absolute.
Along with the clay creatures created by clay magic, they also enjoyed this additional benefit.
After his joining, the battlefield quickly turned into an efficient harvest.
Upon discovering that the dragon beast had been "killed" by him, the kobolds scattered and fled, unable to exert much power with their fighting spirit lost.
After the battle, the sandy ground quickly returned to silence.
The bodies of the kobolds lay crisscrossed on the ground, the thick stench of blood lingering in the air, long-lasting and indelible.
"Gauss, are you alright?"
Aaliyah reached out and supported the pale-faced Gauss, asking with concern.
At this moment, Gauss was wrapped in pale energy, looking like a half-human, half-dragon, but his weakness was evident.
"I’m okay, listen to me first."
Gauss, panting heavily, endured the internal weakness and quickly instructed.
"I’ve already subdued the red dragon beast, you don’t have to worry about it rebelling."
"Aaliyah, try to see if you can fit it into the creature bag later."
"For now, don’t expose it casually."
"Please scour the kobolds’ spoils."
"After I lift this state, there may be some aftereffects, so I’ll count on you for the matters thereafter."
"Albena...." Gauss looked at the tall woman in the team.
To be honest, he still felt a bit uneasy.
But he could only trust her, as the fatigue inside him grew deeper.
"Please, help take care of them."
"Don’t worry, Lord Gauss." Facing Gauss’ request, Albena, though somewhat clueless, scratched her head and promised.
Sighing inwardly.
Gauss simultaneously lifted both the Ghost Form and the Sturdy Scale Bloodline.
It was as if the bones supporting his body were extracted, a profound weakness swept over him like a tsunami.
The ghostly blue scale armor and pale energy around him shattered abruptly, the burning golden vertical pupils quickly reverted to their usual state.
"Uh...."
Gauss let out a suppressed groan.
The aftereffects were more severe than he had imagined.
His entire body lost all strength.
Just as he was about to say something more.
His vision suddenly went dark.
"Gauss!"
At the last impression, he heard several frantic shouts beside him.
Darkness engulfed him like a tide.
After he collapsed, Serdur quickly diagnosed him.
"The injuries are quite severe."
In his perception, Gauss’s internal condition was very bad, his entire muscular tissues severely torn, with almost no intact flesh, and various heart and lung organs had suffered intense impact.
Ordinary professionals suffering this level of injury would likely have died instantly.
But what puzzled him was a warm and powerful energy currently protecting Gauss’s heart.
And it was slowly releasing energy, helping repair his severely injured body.
"However, the problem shouldn’t be significant."
Noticing this, Serdur breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"Aaliyah, you guys go ahead and collect the spoils, I’ll stay here and take care of the captain."
Serdur set up the foldable house.
Even though there was the mysterious energy repairing him, he couldn’t stand idly by and planned to cast recovery magic to heal Gauss simultaneously.
