Chapter 519 The Last Bout [Pt 4]
"Uuu…"
Kar'en felt pain unlike anything she had ever experienced in the past.
All the time at the academy, all of her experiences in the military… everything she had been through paled in comparison to this brief moment.
It felt like her entire body was on fire; especially the butthole that now spread wide open, bleeding white fluids instead of blood. Saliva, mixed with the white blood that burst from her lips littered the ground underneath her, and she was forced to drown in it all.
She could hardly move her body after that attack.
'All my nerves… my Mana… everything has been disturbed.' Her thoughts trailed as she lay on the ground, completely defeated.
Never in her life would she have predicted such a fate would befall her—one of the Dragon Generals with promise.
She was a true prodigy, yet… yet…
'I got violated like this… by a human.' Kar'en felt beads of tears fall from her moist eyes as she cast a blurry gaze on the surviving humans before her.
In an unexpected turn of victory, they actually bested her. Despite being far weaker than she was, they interfered with her Skills, read her attack patterns, created countermeasures, and finally… brought her crashing down.
'I shouldn't have underestimated them… these humans…' It was too late now, though. Kar'en, the mighty Dragon General, had fallen into the hands of the primitive and weak humans. Unable to activate her Skills or move her body, she could only wait for her passive recovery to occur—which the humans would never allow—or wait for help.
'A-ah! That's right… I'm not alone!' At that moment, Kar'en's eyes showed a slight beam of hope.
She remembered that there was one more subordinate that was present. 'S-Ser'th! If he arrives on time, he should be able to teleport the both of us to a safe distance!' Her thoughts echoed.
Kar'en highly doubted that the humans could interfere with Skills that took them by surprise. Plus, since they would have let their guard down after beating her, they wouldn't be able to see her subordinate coming.
There was only one issue, though… 'Come on, where are you?' Kar'en shuddered, feeling the weight of the Hero on top of her.
Any moment now, and her execution would arrive. Right now, her Life Force was incredibly low, and while she still had a lot to offer in terms of natural defenses, if they kept chipping at her health, she would perish.
'I don't want to die! I really don't want to die!' Snot oozed from her draconic nostrils as her thoughts kept pounding in her head.
She sent her gaze up and prayed very desperately for the aid of her only ally at this point.
'Please hurry and come, Se'ri—!'
~BOOOOOOM!~
Before Kar'en could complete her thoughts, a humanoid figure suddenly crashed onto the ground. It was right in front of her, so she felt the shockwave from the impact, and a few of the scattered debris rained upon her.
None of that fazed her, however, since she was currently faced with a more shocking sight.
'E-eh…? D-don't tell me…' Her blurry eyes squinted as she stared into the short distance to observe the being that had just descended to the ground.
—It was Ser'ith.
"Ser'ith…?" Kar'en's croak leaked out in a very hoarse voice as she stared at her subordinate's battered and bloodied form in nigh disbelief.
His dark outfit had been ripped to shreds, leaving mere vestiges that barely covered his genitals. His well-built body was exposed, along with the scales that covered portions of his skin… though they were stained by his own blood.
One of his wings had been ripped out—no, more like blown away.
In all honesty, based on appearance alone, Ser'ith seemed to be a lot worse off than Kar'en… and that was saying something.
The General could not believe that the most shrewd of all her subordinates would have been bested and placed in such a pathetic state—especially by puny humans.
'Ah, I'm not one to talk…' She quickly realized her miserable situation and repented of her thoughts.
It seemed that the only backup she wanted to rely on was useless in the end.
"L-Lady Kar'en… please offer some assistance!" Ser'ith managed to stand despite being a bloody mess, his injuries slowly healing. He looked in front of him, where his superior was, only to find her in shambles herself.
"Dude…" Kar'en whispered, her mouth barely moving as she watched him powerlessly.
At least, he could heal from the damage he was receiving—albeit slowly. It seemed her condition was worse, after all.
"L-Lady Kar'en, what happened to you?!" He yelled, panic coursing through his face.
Based on the expression of desperation he had on, Kar'en deduced that he must have been counting on her help the same way she was counting on his.
In the end, they both ended up being placed in a tight corner with no sign of escape.
'What did this to him, though? I thought all the strong fighters would have gathered to fight, while the weaker ones would be on rescue…'
That was precisely why she sent only Ser'ith to deal with the situation.
"W-where is R'ashu? With his help, maybe I can stand a chance against her…!" Ser'ith looked around him in a panic.
"He's dead." R'ashu's face further paled the moment he heard the news from Kar'en. All the life from it seemed to be completely drained.
"Are you seriou—?!"
~BOOOOOOM!~
Before he could complete his question, another humanoid figure came crashing down, though this one stuck a perfect landing.
A small crater formed around the girl that just appeared, with swirls of wind dancing all around her body. She had blond hair, with a somewhat petite form.
The moment she appeared, Ser'ith froze in fear while staring at her in horror.
'So she's the one who put him in that state…' Kar'en took a careful glance at the human girl, getting a better glimpse of her as the smoke around began to fade.
'Ah… I can see why.'
