The rock bounced off him like an arrow. It was the reason Ark rushed forward and used Riposte. If he used all his momentum to push the heavy falling rock with Riposte, it would shoot off in the opposite direction like an arrow. Of course, the force of the impact wasn’t small but Ark had concentrated and stared at the rock. The goal of the flying rock was the Draken chasing after Dedric!
Snap, kwa kwa kwa kwang!
The rock penetrated the Draken’s chest and lodged it in the wall. The Draken was like an insect specimen nailed to the top of the lava waterfall! The lava fell onto the Draken and split in half like it was an umbrella. And the exit was clearly exposed. The Draken started struggling as it took a shower in the lava waterfall. However, the rock was firmly lodged in the wall and wouldn’t budge. So, that was Ark’s plan.
“It’s a success, now quickly go through the exit!”
“Oh, exit!”
The rehabilitation group and the Baran warriors turned away from the Drakens and charged in Ark’s direction. Ark, Shambala and Lariette had already passed through the exit. Meanwhile, the Drakens health was quickly disappearing. Its skin had started to melt from the intense heat. Even the Drakens who lived in the lava cave couldn’t withstand the heat of the lava.
“Hurry. It won’t last for much longer!”
“Ah, understood!”
The rehabilitation members stopped aiming the cannons and arrows at the Drakens and went through the exit. At that moment, the sound of the Draken’s skeleton was heard as it floated away in the lava waterfall. The lava waterfall was also starting to block the increasingly narrow exit. Hae Gyeol-sa had just came in that direction and cursed.
“Dammit!”
“Hae Gyeol-sa hyung!”
“Damn! It’s not possible…..I’ll have to stay here….. Don’t worry about me and just go….. The Baran warriors and I…..we’ll return to Haman Fortress.”
“We’re sorry……we believe in Commander.”
The sound of Hae Gyeol-sa and the warriors’ voices became lost thanks to the loud waterfall. But they were already surrounded by a bunch of Drakens. It was impossible for them to exit the lava cave and return to Haman Fortress.
“It can’t be helped. They were too slow. Let’s just think like that.”
Jjak-tung said after shaking his head and patting Ark’s shoulders. There was no way for them to go back and help Hae Gyeol-sa and the Baran warriors anyway. Ark looked at the lava waterfall for a brief moment before nodding and turning away. This was Ark’s infiltration mission where the destiny of the Dark Brothers and the Netherworld was at stake, it wasn’t possible to stop and worry about the people who had fallen behind.
