When Gauss joined the battlefield, the death toll of the Dragon Worship Sect followers reached a critical point, and the morale they barely maintained with their numerical advantage quickly dissipated.
Fear spread rapidly through the crowd like a plague.
"Run quickly!"
"Screech!"
Someone shouted out, and just as they moved, a flaming arrow pierced through their abdomen.
Gauss would not let any follower of the Dragon Worship Sect involved in this action escape.
"Hold your ground! No running away!"
"Lady Cecilia is about to support us!"
The Master Level warrior shouted loudly.
The rough voice spread across the battlefield like the beating of drums.
He also casually slayed two followers beside him who were trying to flee.
However, thanks to his shout, and especially upon hearing the name Cecilia, the crowd overcame their fear and barely maintained their formation.
They raised their weapons in their hands, attempting to reorganize the attack against Gauss and his group.
But this actually only had a negligible effect on the direction of the battlefield.
Their resistance could barely add some minor obstacles to Gauss’s actions.
Gauss glanced at Aaliyah hovering in the air.
She was still enveloped in a mysterious shield.
As for the silver wolf Ulfen, Serdur had already carried out preliminary rescue.
The spear in its abdomen had been pulled out, and the wound had been treated with healing magic to stop the bleeding and heal.
Judging by its slightly heaving figure, it seemed to be out of danger.
Aaliyah’s situation, however, seemed precarious.
She was enclosed in the shield, and even Serdur couldn’t penetrate the shield to treat her.
We need to finish the battle quickly!
Gauss’s hands kept moving.
His empty left hand extended a black-red tendril of energy, whipping across a few goblins in the distance.
The goblins hit by him jerked, and then their bodies underneath the skin visibly showed signs of shriveling.
"These ordinary followers and monsters have mostly been killed. It’s time to help Albena and Ying."
Just as he thought of this.
Above the sky.
A powerful aura suddenly enveloped the entire battlefield.
What happened?
Gauss raised his eyes in alert.
Amid the clouds, under the glorious afternoon sunshine, a blue-white skeleton dragon slowly descended.
It wasn’t as big as the adult Giant Dragon conjured by that sorcerer’s Illusion Technique earlier, but it was still noticeably larger than the Red Dragon Dragon Beast Hephaestus.
Its body had no flesh at all, with large twisted blue-white bones exposed, and two orbs of ghostly blue soul fire flickered in its hollow large eye sockets.
The enormous wings, with damaged membranes, caused a biting cold wind with every flap.
This wasn’t just a drop in temperature, but a bone-chilling psychological oppression.
"Oh oh oh!!"
"Welcome, Lady Cecilia!"
"Welcome, Lady Cecilia!"
The originally low-spirited followers of the Dragon Worship Sect suddenly rejuvenated, as if they found their backbone, full of fighting spirit.
They kept shouting and cheering toward the sky.
Gauss cautiously looked towards the sky.
The female figure riding on the dragon’s back caught all of his attention.
She was covered in a dark red robe, wearing a mask that obscured the looks beneath.
Yet, judging from her aura, she was clearly an extremely terrifying opponent.
"Be careful!"
Gauss warned the others.
However, the figure in the sky named Cecilia from the Dragon Worship Sect high ranks seemed uninterested in the others.
Her narrow eyes, visible from the mask, were fixed firmly on Gauss’s figure on the ground, with investigative desire flickering in the depths of her eyes.
She quietly licked her lips.
Though she had lost much of her lower human desires and some emotions after becoming a Dragon Priestess, at this moment, seeing the strong figure below.
Her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated, and her icy body seemed to gain warmth.
Gauss’s current form posed a kind of fatal temptation to her as someone who had completed the transformation halfway.
"You are Gauss?"
She murmured under her breath.
Her voice was not loud, almost as if talking to herself.
"What a pity."
She sighed.
If she met this man in the wild, she would certainly capture him to make him her possession.
Yet, he was already "reserved" by the Green Dragon Queen ahead of time.
Even if she was reluctant, she had to carry out her orders to bring Gauss to the Green Dragon Queen; otherwise, the fury of that being was beyond what an ordinary Dragon Priestess like her could bear.
"Let me evaluate your quality."
Cecilia looked at Gauss, then commanded the skeleton dragon under her to dive straight down.
"Boom!!!"
Like a meteor falling to the ground.
Gauss narrowly dodged, moved aside, and with his right hand transformed into a dragon claw, stabbed into the ground, stabilizing himself.
The monsters around him became ground meat as the dragon dived down.
"So fast!"
"No, I’ve slowed down."
Gauss was startled.
To be accurate, on one hand, the opponent’s speed was indeed swift, and on the other, he felt his movements seemed to be restricted in some way.
The air around him seemed to have become heavy.
"Not bad!"
Cecilia nodded on the dragon’s back, her gaze assessing the value like evaluating merchandise.
As she approached, she could even smell the "sweet" scent emanating from him.
A small devil-like voice coaxed lightly in her ear.
"Why can’t he be mine?"
