CHAPTER 638: CHAPTER 428: ANCIENT DRAGON PEAK FINALE (PART 3)

Is it because he saw his efforts that Ornstein did this?

This notion might be a bit narcissistic, but Leon was convinced because when he locked eyes with Ornstein, he clearly felt an emotion from beneath that lion helmet—

Encouragement!

Ornstein is a Dragon Hunter, and fundamentally differs from those seeking the power of Ancient Dragons, but as a hero, he appreciates those with a firm will, who challenge repeatedly despite failures.

This is also the magnanimity of a hero!

Is that why he gave a little help to the adventurer?

This was a thought Leon imagined, but indeed it inspired him immensely. Getting encouragement from a hero is an honor for anyone.

The feeling of immersion is maxed out.

While continuing to climb, Leon suddenly thought of a question.

"If someone in this Painting World works even harder than me, would Ornstein’s attitude change even more?"

On the other side.

Selene was about to fall down; even though the end was so close, failure seemed inevitable, and she closed her eyes helplessly.

But just then—

"Bang!"

A sound of rocks shattering came from behind, something hit her back, and she suddenly stopped falling.

Looking back, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

It was the Dragon Hunting Long Spear! The Dragon Hunting Long Spear stuck in the ground!

Before she could regain her senses, the Dragon Hunting Long Spear seemed summoned, rising from the ground and shooting towards the mountain top.

"Ah..."

Selene sat dumbfounded for several seconds, her eyes gradually widened, filled with uncontrollable fervor.

"I, was I saved? By Ornstein?"

Greatly inspired, an unprecedented power suddenly surged within her body, she felt as if she was spirited enough to punch ten Eliphas to death!

She ran towards the mountain top like a sprint, all coldness and nightmares were discarded, her heart only had the thought of reaching the top!

Closer, the peak was closer, soon she would—

When her hands tightly grasped the edge of the cliff, and her eyes finally fell upon the summit, she saw a scene like an image.

Above the swirling mist, two majestic figures were confronting each other.

It was the Nameless King and Ornstein.

The Storm Dragon circled in the sky; perhaps sensing the tense atmosphere, it did not let out any roars.

The Nameless King and Ornstein stood with spears in hand, making eye contact, as if saying nothing, yet saying everything.

Was Ornstein questioning this former comrade why he turned to protect the dragons? Or was the Nameless King explaining his reasons?

Selene couldn’t understand, she just knew she should obediently keep her mouth shut and say nothing.

Then, both sides moved, raising their weapons simultaneously!

In an instant, it seemed like they exchanged dozens or hundreds of moves, but in Selene’s eyes, who couldn’t match their prowess, the battle ended in a flash.

"Swoosh—"

Ornstein’s Dragon Hunting Long Spear flew out of his hand, embedding itself in the distant wall.

A long silence ensued, Selene broke into a sweat, could it be that the Nameless King would deliver a deadly blow?

But contrary to her thoughts.

The Nameless King sheathed his weapon, turned, and left. The Storm Dragon descended from the sky, stopping beside his friend.

Ornstein seemed to have figured it out, letting go, his body no longer tense.

"Bang, bang..."

The golden armor was removed piece by piece, the cloud on the Ancient Dragon Peak grew thicker, Selene could barely see anything.

In her sight, Ornstein, who had shed everything, turned and walked away, gradually disappearing into the fog, finally vanishing from view.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Selene suddenly called out, her voice full of unwillingness and regret, she shouted loudly:

"I haven’t seen the front of your face yet!"

The next second, the mist completely dissipated, bright sunshine rained down, the vast mountain top was empty, nothing remained.

Only a golden light point hovered at where Ornstein had once stood.

Selene didn’t care about the light point, just regretfully pounded the ground.

"Missed a great chance to see his face directly!"

Thus, the story contained at the top of the Ancient Dragon Peak was fully revealed.

At the same time, a new story was about to unfold.

At the Lake Lienia, in the Skyrim Strategy Group’s camp.

"Are you really going to do this?"

Luluwo said worriedly, "I feel like your Captain won’t agree so easily."

"Yes, I’ve made up my mind."

The speaker was Elsa, she caressed the greatsword in her hand, the Sword Corpse Greatsword glimmering coldly on her back.

"Today, I’m quitting the Light Eagle Group."
