Re: Evolution Online
chapter-773

Growl! Luna was the first one to react. The fox who was standing guard next to Liam all this time immediately became alarmed and dove right in between him and the giant serpentine monster.

But her face was etched in worry. She only needed to glance once to know that this was not something she could handle. She couldn't even fathom how powerful this creature was.

She frantically opened her mouth to hurl out a fire blast with her tail shining red and then tried to reach out to Liam through their mental connection.

However, as she did, tears started dripping from her eyes.

Till now, she hadn't attempted this because she did not want to disturb Liam, but now that she did, she could feel just how much pain her master was in.

Wooo! The fox whined as she stared at her master and the giant creature in front of her. No matter what happened today, she was going to guard her master!

But before she could even finish that thought, the harsh reality dawned on her. Her attack did nothing to the beast at all.

On the other hand, the huge monster raised its head and hissed loudly. Its sheer movement tossed the fox away like dirt!

Luna's health quickly dropped. Before she could recover, another attack came for her as a giant tail lashed at her. The speed and agility of the attack were simply too much. There was no way for her to evade.

The fox lit up in flames, using the best flame barrier that she could erect, bracing herself for the attack. She knew that it was not enough. She was going to die, but at least she would buy a couple of seconds for her master.

Her clear blue eyes watched the tail that was about to smack her to death. She closed her eyes, preparing for the pain that was going to ensue but surprisingly, nothing happened.

Luna quickly opened her eyes to stare in shock. Standing in front of her was a red-haired paladin who took the brunt of the attack.

Alex was here! And instead of the fox, she received the attack and was tossed away.

Alex's follower, the little girl, frantically tried to heal her, but it was no use. It was a one-hit instant kill.

This wasn't an enemy against whom she could stand up. Even her best tanking skill did not work, as the Basilisk's attack went right through all of her defences.

Her only consolation was not she was not alone. Shen Yue, Mei Mei, Rey and about twenty core members of the guild stood firmly in between Liam and the monstrous creature.

And there were also Asura and Lyana.

Shen Yue was only bringing a few players with her to carry all the items as they did not fit into the inventory slots, and the followers whom Liam had asked her to round up, but when they arrived here, the situation was entirely unexpected.

Liam was in a deep trance which they did not dare disturb. They patiently waited and waited. At the same time, the clock was also ticking down. They were not sure what they were supposed to do when finally the last few minutes arrived and, along with it, a giant monstrosity.

Now they knew what they were supposed to do.

Alex was the first one to respond. Even though she was broken down and listless all the way here, the minute she laid eyes on the scene, she jumped into action to protect the fox.

Mei Mei started casting the buffs. Asura, Shen Yue and the others started attacking while the few healers madly tossed healing spells left and right.

All of them were well aware that this was a suicide mission, but they gave it their all.

Watching this desperate attempt at survival, the golden knight casually sneered, shaking his head. "It's useless. They are just throwing their lives away."

He was not worried in the least about these small fries. There was nothing they could do that would change the course of fate here.

Mia, on the other hand, had a completely different expression on her face. Her heart ached more and more as she watched this scene. She felt a gaping hole somewhere within her.

Everyone in front of her was dying.

Shen Yue, Mei Mei, Rey, everyone was killed or rather slaughtered and massacred by the single terrifying creature. Even Asura couldn't hold up against it.

But for some reason, she couldn't feel happy seeing this.

Instead, she felt sad. She did not know why.

The golden knight next to Mia continued to watch the show and laughed loudly. "It's all over now." He felt so relieved that things hadn't gone out of his hands and let out a big sigh.

3 more minutes or 2 more minutes? Everything was over.

But the next second, he blinked, and something strange happened. A person who was not supposed to be there was standing next to the small fries.

An elf stood in front of the Basilisk!

This elf was none other than the old elf, the former elven King, a significant being in this world!

"Grandpa!" Luna shouted at the top of her lungs.

The elf grinned. "That's right. Your Grandpa is here now. I will take care of this ugly thing. You go help that idiot. Stand near him and don't move. Don't let anything or anyone disturb him."

The old elf then immediately jumped in front of the Basilisk. An enormous storm of mana surrounded him, and his voice reverberated loudly. "Wind domain!"

For the first time, the Basilisk was not able to simply swing its tail and finish the enemy standing in front of it. Its slit-like eyes became bigger as it gazed at the new prey with interest.

Watching this scene unfold, the golden knight trembled from top to bottom in anger. Someone had thrown a wrench into his plan at the last damn moment.

"A clone? Did he use a clone? How dare this elf defy the rules?" His voice bellowed.

The golden knight immediately drew some runes that dazzled, and the next instant, he, along with Mia, teleported to appear right at the scene of the crime.
