Pillar of Yita

Almost at the same moment, a person and a dragon both started rising, but Fang Hong also had Flying Fist. He raised his right hand and pointed at the opponent from a distance. The Dragon’s Claw instinctively dodged to the side. Unexpectedly, at that moment, a rock fell from the side, landing squarely on the opponent’s face and flattening it on the street surface.

Fang Hong was momentarily stunned; this was not part of his plan, but it was also good luck. He quickly turned around, only to find Hilveld lying in a pool of blood, obviously severely injured.

Fang Hong’s heart tightened, and he quickly opened his Healing Potion and poured it down her throat. After a moment, Hilveld slowly regained consciousness, although her face was pale and almost devoid of color. ”Are you okay?” Fang Hong couldn’t help but ask her. Hilveld smiled weakly and playfully replied, ”I’m alright, just might not be able to move forward...”

But Fang Hong didn’t feel that this was alright. Given the current situation, this was a major complication.

Yet Hilveld seemed unconcerned and smiled, ”Captain can go ahead. Just hide me somewhere, I’ll take care of myself.”

But Fang Hong shook his head. The others were Invokers; dying here might still allow them to return to another world, but he could not let Hilveld take that risk.

”The Night Lizard People are behind us, Lord Captain, and there are more than just those two,” Hilveld reminded him.

But Fang Hong did not respond.

He thought for a moment, then switched to the Strength Plugin. Under Hilveld’s bright gaze, his left hand slid under her knees and his other hand supported her somewhat frail back as he lifted the Noble Lady up and started moving forward.

The girl was slightly startled, her eyes softening.

Carrying Hilveld, Fang Hong’s speed decreased substantially. The Night Lizard People were indeed catching up, but the beacon of the Colin Ishurian Artisan Association was in sight; he could even see that the drop-off point was on the rooftop of a building.

Under normal circumstances, he could have used the Flying Claw, but now with Hilveld, it was a bit more complicated. Fortunately, he had the Energy Angel. Fang Hong first used the Flying Claw to climb up to the rooftop, then used the Energy Angel to bring the injured Hilveld up as well.

Once they both reached the rooftop one after the other, the Night Lizard People were also emerging from the alleys.

”On the other side, Mr. Xiaya,” just then, after a long silence, Elisa suddenly spoke up on the communication channel.

Fang Hong turned around, stunned.

If the alleys on this side were teeming with Night Lizard People swarming out, then on the other side, there was a torrent of Dark Creatures—He unconsciously switched to the perspective of Clockwork Fairy, looking down from midair, watching two different torrents converging from the ruins, focusing on him as their meeting point.

He was surrounded—

Fang Hong suddenly realized this was no coincidence. The Dark Giant Dragons in the sky, and Toragotos were not fools, and the drop-off point of the Colin Ishurian Artisan Association had also exposed his location.

Unless he didn’t come here.

The area under the big screen was dead silent.

No one had expected this turnout.

What to do?

Everyone was asking this question.

But Fang Hong’s problem at this moment was much more specific than theirs. The more critical the moment, the calmer his mind was now. Panicking was pointless; it was better to stop and think of a solution:

”How long will it take for them to get here?”

”No more than five minutes, the Night Lizard People might be even faster.”

”Enough!”

Fang Hong gritted his teeth and rushed to the huge Crystal embedded in the roof—that was the drop-off item of the Colin Ishurian Artisan Association. He pressed his hand against the Crystal, and a dense item catalog immediately appeared in front of him.

Fang Hong closed his eyes and without thinking spoke aloud:

”Energy Angel.”

”Explosive Crystal.”

”Clockwork Fairy.”

”Annihilator.”

”Manifest Information—”

A silver radiance unfolded before him.

Then Fang Hong raised his head and shouted, ”Miss Tata, I need your help.”

”I’m here, Mr. Knight,” a gentle, calm voice responded.
