Chapter 87 Old Yi's Loyalty

The dragon didn't receive any damage as Ren Ye and Old Yi faced them altogether. Ren Ye quickly told Old Yi of his plans, "You stay here. I will get behind it and try to find its weak spot."

Old Yi agreed with his plan and responded in a calm tone, "I will distract it."

After having said that, lightning bolts shot out from the sky and surrounded Old Yi who raised his war hammer and uttered a word that no one was able to understand.

'The Blessed of Storm.'

The war hammer emitted purple and white aura as it shrouded the ceiling in darkness, Old Yi let go one of his hand and struck the dragon on its core. The attack he released caused the ground to shake and crack, expanding more pressure around the dragon.

Ren Ye mumbled an order, "Ice Concealment."

Almost immediately, his entire body was covered in frost and his clear vision was slowly replaced with a transparent bluish glass which allowed him to see the target from a much clearer and defining view.

The footprints he left behind him were closely erased from existence as well as the dragon no longer seemed to be able to sense him. Had he charged forth with nothing, the dragon would have sensed it almost immediately.

Ren Ye swiftly made his way behind its back as he whistled loudly, the dragon's red glowing eyes became more sinister as its wings expanded. Causing the cave to be covered in black dust.

"Smart lad," Ren Ye thought inwardly as he summoned his halberd onto his hand. He swung it a couple of time before activating Ice Body which gave a clearer view of the dragon's weak spot.

"I don't need to find its weak spot. It only has to find me."

Ren Ye chuckled as the halberd inside his hand began to burst with cold and icy energy. Ren Ye pointed the tip at the belly of the dragon, his eyes emitted sharp bluish glow.

Swosh!

Ren Ye struck the beast in its belly. It was unable to thoroughly penetrate it but it left behind a tiny crack that Ren Ye was able to see. He had an idea inside his head as he raised his feet and teleported himself next to Old Yi's side.

He whispered to Old Yi, "I think I found its weak spot."

"Somewhere below its belly," Ren Ye spoke in English as a way to get more into character with his new persona.

Old Yi understood it and nodded his head, he stopped striking aimlessly at the dragon and took up Ren Ye's advice.

That is to expand the tiny crack!

Ren Ye teleported himself back to his original place. This time, the dragon noted of his existence as its swung its mighty tail and attempted to hit him with it.

Ren Ye swiftly raised his feet and teleported to the other side, he pointed the halberd and struck it once more. Causing the crack to expand little by little.

The dragon roared in agony as its wings expanded and swept the ground. Ren Ye was hit by the intense force of the wind as he tried to remain on his feet.

As soon as he recovered mentally, he raised his head and simultaneously discovered a gigantic tail covered in scales aimed at him. His eyes began to waver as he slowly raised his feet to teleport.

Bang! Bang!

The tail was struck from the side of the edge of the war hammer. Old Yi appeared next to him as he raised a thumb, "Keep your head up, lad."

After saying this, Old Yi chuckled as he curled his lips into a cruel smirk, "You are wasting everyone's time here."

You was referring to the dragon who kept roaring in agony. It once more attempted to sweep them off their feet but Old Yi flew up into air with the help of the layer of lightning below his feet.

His hair seemed to have been burned at the edge from the intensity of the battle. He raised his war hammer high and threw it with all of his might, striking its abdomen and causing the crack to worsen significantly.

Ren Ye jumped on his feet and pointed the halberd toward the crack, pushing it up as hard as he can with the icy energy to forcefully strengthen himself.

"Kill…"

Ren Ye's wounds began to crack from the previously frozen state as the poison whom burned into his skin caused immense pain to his form. He cried out angrily as his vein bulged .

He gritted his teeth and twisted the halberd, trying to crack it. The dragon roared and roughly turned its body from the side, causing Ren Ye to knock off the ground and flown into the burned wall.

Bang!

Ren Ye's body was hit by the solemnness of the wall as his breathing began to slow down, the hand holding the halberd began to loosen.

Old Yi preceded him as he praised him in a loud voice, "You have done well. Leave it to me."

Old Yi struck the dragon with a throw of his mighty war hammer as he wore a cruel grin on his face.

"I will leave your name here once and for all."

As he said that, thousands of bolts of lightning struck the ground. Ren Ye slowly used the halberd to steady himself on his feet as he placed his hand against his wounds, trying to keep the blood from flowing quickly.

His face was pale as he managed to wear a calm smile, "Let me join you, Old Yi."

He threw the halberd alongside Old Yi, leaving behind his last piece of power along it as he stumbled onto the ground. His face was covered in bleeding cuts as his lips curled into a peaceful smile.

The attack finally cracked the scale and shield, allowing Old Yi to easily access its weak spot. Old Yi didn't hesitate as he chuckled deeply, "Good job, soldier."

Old Yi lifted both of his hands and ray of lightnings seemed to form onto each of his palm as he chanted something in his native language with a solemn expression.

'The Hands of Zeus.'

As soon as he was done chanting it, a lengthy and shiny string of brightness appeared in his palms as his eyes no longer was of its original color, it became entirely white.

Old Yi raised his feet and dashed forward, guided by the lightning beneath him. He raised 'The Hands of Zeus' in his hands as he pointed it at the dragon.

The ceiling cracked as it was unable to sustain itself no longer. Blocks of rocks fell from above, the cave was collapsing.

"Face the wrath of a demigod!"

With these words, the ground shook and broke into cracks. Ren Ye managed to activate Ice Body as the large blocks of rocks fell upon him. He was in an increasingly weak state as he still managed to let out a chuckle.

"So he is a demigod."

Ren Ye hummed peacefully, "He is finally showing me what he can be."

'The Hands of Zeus' struck the dragon in its face as the cave collapsed into pieces. The dragon roared one last time before being killed by a demigod's technique.

Old Yi swiftly teleported using his lightning bolt and appeared by the side of Ren Ye whose body became stale and motionless, he carried Ren ye and looked at him funnily.

"You saw my good form once and decided to die?"

Ren Ye was unable to chuckle as he peacefully smiled, his eyes dropped before closing. Old Yi realized he had became exempt of his energy. Old Yi didn't bother to stay here any longer as he teleported himself onto the surface and right in front of the cave opening.

The cave's entrance was sealed with a block of rock.

Signifying the success of everyone who managed to survive.

Ren Ye's breathing was slow and unstable.

Old Yi snapped his fingers and a bottle of potion appeared in his hands, he took off the lid and poured the blue liquid into Ren Ye's opened mouth. Ren Ye's eyes were closed as he was breathing through his mouth.

Ren Ye chugged the entire bottle as his eyes no longer were tense and became peaceful.

Old Yi threw the bottle of potion away as he dropped Ren Ye onto a nearby tree as his chest began to ache.

"I haven't used my war hammer for an extremely long time. Just one time use of it is still able to cause my chest to shake and my hands to become sweat."

He shook his head and he kneeled onto the ground as he spoke in his native language, "Sincere thanks to the Jade Emperor for allowing me to recover momentarily."

As he said that, he kissed the ground one last time as he watched as his war hammer quietly disappear as though it had never been there. His powers slowly disappeared as he laid himself against the tree and laughed into the dark night.
