Lin Ruo held the golden spear in a loose grip and smiled slightly at Ulyssan, who was charging towards him.
The golden spear was casually thrown at that moment, yet it suddenly accelerated the instant it left his hand, moving so fast that no one could react.
"Roar—"
The next second, the Dragon crashed to the ground and then let out a pained roar, seemingly enduring some inexpressible agony.
The golden spear, which had directly pierced its body, erupted with an extremely bright, pure white light at that moment, making it seem as though a miniature "sun" had risen there.
Even after its eruption, the sun didn't vanish but transformed into golden flames, scorching Ulyssan from the inside out, causing the large lizard's howls to gradually fade until it was almost silent.
Everyone's movements paused at this moment; they almost instinctively looked at Lin Ruo, who smiled as warmly as spring and said, "Why are you looking at me? Continue, Ulyssan isn't dead yet!"
Everyone: ...
Looking at that even gentler smile, Mobet shivered.
He couldn't help but glance at Elf Singer Siatas beside him, and his resolve grew firmer.
#He's going to cling to the old man's leg when he gets back; he has to save Siatas no matter what#
#Oh no, Angel of Judgment is really terrifying#
At this moment, Mobet confirmed and affirmed that all rumors about Angel of Judgment were false; these were the most fake words imaginable, and whoever believed them would suffer.
Oh right, Angel of Judgment seems to have a student; maybe I should go build a good relationship with him, it might be useful?
Mobet's gaze couldn't help but drift towards Klein not far away.
Elf Singer Siatas pursed her lips.
She looked at Ulyssan, heavily wounded by a single spear, and didn't say anything in the end, though she seemed to have thought of something, and once again drew her bow and nocked an arrow.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the others also re-entered combat, but seeing Ulyssan, who was almost too weak to howl, no one immediately went for the killing blow; even Siatas merely aimed her arrow at Ulyssan.
There was no other reason; it was mainly because Ulyssan truly looked like it was on the verge of death.
"Tsk, so fragile?" Lin Ruo naturally noticed this as well.
He pinched his chin, immediately feeling that he had overestimated Ulyssan's defense and vitality.
He hadn't expected this little lizard to be unable to withstand even a Sequence 3 level Spear of Eternal Dark, even though he had already held back.
Heh, what a piece of trash!
After internally bestowing the title of 'Most Trash Demigod' upon Ulyssan, Lin Ruo glanced at the half-dead Ulyssan, who looked like it was about to report to the River of Eternal Darkness, and after some thought, asked, "Do you mind if I heal it a bit? It's rare to have a Divine Rank practice target; it would be a shame for it to die just like that."
"Being able to fight a Demigod is actually a very valuable experience for you all."
Well, the main reason was that the battle had ended too quickly, and as a squishy with not much attack power, Klein hadn't had time to act.
Lin Ruo felt it was necessary to compensate him.
Training is training; at the very least, Klein needed to experience the defense and difficulty of controlling a Divine Rank being.
Everyone: ...
Though it shouldn't be, why did they suddenly feel so sorry for Ulyssan?
It was being treated entirely as a tool!
Although they didn't know how to complain in their hearts, at this moment, no one ultimately refuted Lin Ruo's suggestion.
Klein knew Lin Ruo wanted to train him, Snowman unconditionally supported Lin Ruo due to his faith, and as for the others… they didn't dare.
Nonsense, who, after seeing Lin Ruo gently smiling while instantly killing Ulyssan, would dare to openly refute him?
Are they tired of living?
Even the most volatile Elf Singer Siatas restrained herself at this moment, after all, she had dared to act impulsively before because those matters involved the Elf race, which forced her to muster the courage to be reckless, but now, on such matters, Siatas felt there was no need to throw her life away.
Isn't it good to be alive?
"It seems everyone cherishes this training opportunity!"
Seeing no objections, Lin Ruo smiled and switched to the Earth pathway, then used healing on Ulyssan.
Of course, he didn't heal much, just a small amount, to ensure it wouldn't die on the spot the next second and could continue fighting for a while longer.
After Ulyssan shakily stood up and started running on its short legs in the opposite direction from Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo casually leaned back and smiled, saying, "Continue."
Everyone exchanged glances and formally entered combat.
Round two, begin!
...
"Boom—"
With a loud crash, Ulyssan collapsed.
At this moment, compared to before, it looked much more miserable on the surface; its chest and abdomen were completely split open, and pale blue blood and ruptured internal organs gushed from the wounds, spilling all over the ground.
Not only that, but several long arrows also protruded from Ulyssan's body, and from its slightly sluggish movements, it could be seen that its very being had likely been initially controlled by spirit body threads.
After a final mournful cry, Ulyssan completely closed its eyes.
This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but whether it was an illusion or not, they always felt they saw a look of relief in Ulyssan's eyes.
The next second, streaks of pale blue, almost white light erupted from within Ulyssan, stirring its flesh and blood, moving rapidly, and quickly transforming the enormous Dragon corpse into a thick, tall, snow-covered double door.
Undoubtedly, this was the gate to leave the world within the book.
"Finally, finally... we succeeded... Hahahaha!" Giant Groselle burst into laughter, a hearty and unrestrained laugh.
This time, with Lin Ruo assisting, and even heavily wounding Ulyssan beforehand, Giant Groselle naturally didn't get a 'game over' before the exit due to Ulyssan being severely injured.
"That's great."
The others also mostly showed smiles at this moment.
"Everyone, don't rush out yet; before you leave, you still need to resolve some issues," Lin Ruo said at this point.
"What issues?" Giant Groselle asked, puzzled.
"You don't really think that after living so many years in the book, you can still live and jump around outside, do you? Your lifespan is a big problem," Lin Ruo said, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry.
He was actually puzzled as well; why didn't even one person in such a large protagonist group consider the lifespan issue?
The others, such as Giant Groselle, Elf Singer Siatas, and Snowman, were fine; after all, they didn't seem to have quick wits.
But Mobet, what's wrong with you? Are you really just a fake 'Three Families of Cowards'?
Lin Ruo silently gave Mobet a thumbs down in his heart.
"Lifespan?"
Hearing this, everyone was more or less stunned.
Immediately after, Mobet's expression was the first to change, clearly having realized the issue.
He asked nervously, "If we leave this world, will we just die of old age?"
"Yes." Lin Ruo nodded, adding before anyone could react, "But don't worry, we can solve this problem."
Then he shouted towards the cave:
"Come out, Leonard."
