I like them big, do you? - Chapter 155

“T-Too close!” Maya darted away first.

It was because she realized how close Reylin was. Her big eyes then flashed with awkwardness, and the hero returned promptly to her former spot.

Her cute face still maintained a blush, however.

Reylin smiled, “This is the first legendary boss, I would say. How are we always the first to try out those?”

“Haha!” Maya grinned, “It’s because we are strong and have high levels!”

After Reylin focused solely on the abomination, Maya’s eyes shifted toward its existence as well.

She stared at how it hacked at players with its giant paws.

Each move, be it punch or roar, devoured mana. Everyone within its grasp would lose their mana as that was this existence’s whole purpose.

It existed to start the new era.

“What’s your plan?” Maya asked as her heart finally became calm.

Reylin nodded, “I will use Crimson Dragon, but on you.”

“Eh?” The hero batted her eyes as she gawked at Reylin.

Perhaps, she misheard him. But what she heard filled her with excitement and a lot of doubts.

If Maya heard him right, then would she be able to wield his powers?

The hero questioned herself, but a more urgent question left her lips, “Why?”

“Its scales can take over its whole body. If I summon Crimson Dragon, it will shift its complete resistance into fire one. That wouldn’t be bad if we had another strong force to take off all those scales…

That’s when I realized that you can… become that force. Take all my mana… My mana from my body and the outside as I will command all players and residents to bring out their fire skills,” Reylin said seriously, looking straight into Maya’s eyes.

In those hues, he noticed her hesitation.

That was a crucial task that would change the whole world’s perception of Crimson Dragon and the hero and her guild.

That task made her feel more important and treasured, even!

That was something Maya would be more than glad to try, but so many lives depended on their defenses! Should they fail, the whole kingdom might fall!

All those innocent would die!

Reylin didn’t say it out loud, but he also didn’t believe the dark matter people could control the abomination.

However, Crimson Dragon was the force that stood out the most.

His people were also a pain in the ass…

“I believe in you, Maya,” Reylin smiled faintly.

“…” Although the hero was already used to hearing her name from his lips, this particular time and event made it sound much different.

Her big eyes rose, and she looked at his smiling face.

Fortunately, the blush still lingered on her little plump cheeks! Otherwise, the hero’s palpitating heart would have been exposed already.

Reylin’s smile widened, “You are my close friend. A close one because I don’t surround myself with normal friends. They all wouldn’t be able to keep up with me anyway.” He shrugged, “But you did, and I am very fond of you.”

His hand went up, and he patted the hero like usual, “Follow my flames. Even if your sword breaks, those flames won’t let you go.”

“Yes… I will do it…” Maya’s heart drummed even louder, and she held back a lot of words in her throat.

Those words were out of place, and she didn’t want to say them out as well. A part of her stopped her, a part that was very close with Reylin’s girlfriend.

In a flash, Maya’s eyes shimmered with confidence and will to fight!

She changed all her feelings into battle intent!

An intent that would befall onto the abomination!

“I will do it!” Maya once again said.

Her voice was louder, and it naturally filled Reylin’s mind with satisfaction. He turned around and looked at all the players dying beneath the abomination’s vast body.

He said, “We don’t need more deaths. Those poor players might end up with nightmares and trauma.”

“As the hero, I will save them,” Maya chuckled.

“You’ve already managed to pour more mana into your heroic skills. That’s why I am confident in you. Let’s go,” Reylin glanced at the hero, then raised his hand.

Maya passed through him at that time, and she charged at the abomination, “Showtime!”

“Good girl,” Reylin smirked.

[You have used Crimson Dragon.]

A small dragon coiled around his finger, then it shot up to the sky.

The whole sky lit up in crimson colors!

Clouds teemed anew above everyone. Unbelievable puffy clouds were honored to host the Crimson Dragon, whose vast body slithered around, its big eyes gazing at the abomination from above.

A faint taunting roar slipped from Reylin’s pet’s lips.

At that time, the sky lit up in grand scarlet magic circles.

It was foreign magic, but no one found it as such. Those circles decorated the clouds, shone in unique and grand mana letters, heating up and preparing an additional fire source!

At last, all players threw their fire skills to the sky.

Alas, they barely scratched it. That sky, those clouds, all belonged to one person.

Still, those skills lingered beneath the clouds, for that was the wish of the crimson dragon. After its head reared and those dragon eyes dilated, the foreign flames shook. They slipped into the clouds and increased their scarlet hue.

“Forward,” Reylin chuckled.

His dragon answered the order immediately, bringing down its fangs and scarlet clouds.

Clouds swirled around its long snake body while fangs flared with fire!

At that moment, everyone thought that Reylin threw his dragon straight at the abomination, hoping for instant success!

Not too far away from Reylin, a white-haired lady stared at the dragon with big eyes. That existence was the source of her jealousy.

“Their abilities are made for each other… Reylin can gather an unlimited amount of mana… and Maya can wear absurd amounts of it as well… She is just weaker than him, but that’s due to obvious reasons… Still, if she can break that common shell of hers…”

Violet eyes dropped alongside the dragon.

Now, everyone knew that the dragon didn’t aim for the abomination but for someone else!

And from the intercept point, the golden mana surged!

“If she can break it, we will see a player turning from the hero to the royalty… I’m getting more jealous… That’s bad for my skin,” Aria smiled widely.

She opened her guild chatroom.

That was because it would be a time for scales plundering should the hero succeed!
