The loneliness brought about by the long time almost wiped out all his emotions.
He walked alone on this continent, his footprints falling on this land again and again. He did not know if these footprints had been walked on before, just as this snow was the same as the snow that had fallen before.
The superposition of the present and the past gave him a illusory illusion. It was not that Orsted had no emotions, but that too much loneliness had completely hidden the so-called emotions in the deepest part of his heart.
Every creature that saw him would show fear and disgust. The world was so unfriendly to him, but he had to keep walking.
He had only one goal in life, and that was to [Kill the Human God]!
He used to live to kill the [Human God], and now he lives to kill the [Human God].
If his life was buried in this place, then no one would be able to deal with the [Human God] anymore, and even the boy in front of him might not be able to deal with him.
Now was not the time to close his eyes. At least, he was not qualified or worthy to close his eyes now.
So, at this moment, he actually made a decision.
This was a decision that he would never have made before.
Orsted took a deep breath and said at the moment when Roa was about to act, "…Become, subordinate."
But at this moment, Orsted made this decision. The reason was very simple. Roa had forced him to a dead end. The current Orsted did not want to die, it was that simple.
Roa, who was originally preparing to act, stopped his movements. Roa smiled at this moment, a bright smile, an expression that came from the heart.
He had seen the Dragon God's power in this battle. If such a guy could become a partner, he would be more confident in facing the Human-God in the future.
"Then, welcome to the team, Orsted. Our goals are the same, and that is to kill the Human God," Roa said.
Orsted's cold expression finally changed at this moment. The third eye that Orsted had opened on his forehead closed, the terrifying aura on his body disappeared, and Orsted asked with a slightly ferocious expression, "What did you just say about killing the Human God?"
Roa was stunned and scratched his head, "Our goals are actually the same. I want to kill the Human God, and you want to seal the Human God. To be honest, we didn't need to fight in the first place."
Orsted was silent, and at this moment he finally understood everything.
"It's that guy's trap again." After Orsted coldly spat out these words, Roa could clearly feel the anger on Orsted's face.
Orsted was actually a very gentle person. Of course, this did not include when Orsted heard the words Human God. Once Orsted heard any news about the Human God, he would become unusually angry and almost lose his mind.
Roa said that he could understand Orsted's anger, but now was not the time to show such an expression.
Roa said speechlessly, "Let's talk about the Human God later. Let's deal with our injuries first."
…
The battle was over, and both of them had suffered extremely heavy injuries in this battle.
Orsted's severed arm and leg were healed by divine magic.
At this moment, he could not even lift his hand.
Just simply using the Godsword and using the Sword of Light almost completely emptied him.
His magic power was drained to only one-tenth, his spirit was extremely weak, and he was a little listless.
Not only that, but he didn't pay attention to it during the battle. Now he felt that the wound in his lung that had been pierced by the Godsword was still a little painful. The healing speed seemed to be blocked by some kind of energy, causing the healing speed to decrease a lot.
In short, both sides suffered considerable losses in this battle.
Thinking of this, Roa couldn't help but complain, "Hey, Orsted, look what you've done to me. You'll have to carry me back this time."
The Dragon God Orsted glanced at Roa expressionlessly, a hint of fatigue showing in his golden eyes. Orsted nodded slightly and silently hoisted Roa onto his shoulders.
With Roa on his back, Orsted asked, "What do we do next?"
"What do we do? Find a safe place to recover first. Otherwise, in our current state, going up against anyone is suicide."
"Mm."
"Then come back to the Asura Kingdom with me. It should be a good shelter."
"Mm."
The two didn't exchange many words, just a few brief sentences.
Having reached an agreement, they made their decision.
But before they acted, the Dragon God pulled out Nanahoshi, who was hiding nearby.
Nanahoshi had started running away the moment the two began fighting.
But she didn't expect the range of their battle to expand so much, so she could only run further away.
Even so, she was still caught in the crossfire of such a large-scale battle.
Fortunately, she didn't lose her life.
Looking at the once white, barren world, now pockmarked and scarred, with flying gravel and exposed deep layers of the earth, some areas even scorched into charcoal.
In short, describing it as a scene of utter devastation would be an understatement.
The group of three moved out, Orsted carrying Roa, with Nanahoshi following behind.
Roa glanced at the Red Dragon lying on the ground in the distance, barely alive, and said to Orsted, "Go to that dragon."
Orsted remained silent, carrying Roa to the Red Dragon's side.
The Red Dragon's eyes were unfocused, its crimson eyes looking somewhat pitiful at this moment.
Its neck was broken, its wings pierced, the black bone wings falling to the ground, stuck by the rain and stained with thin streaks of red. The scales on its body were torn open, and its limbs were twisted in extremely unnatural shapes.
It was breathing out more than it was breathing in.
Seeing the Red Dragon in such a miserable state, Roa simply asked Orsted, "Can you save it?"
Orsted simply replied, "I can, but it will cost mana. Saving this dragon will take quite a bit."
Roa detected the hesitation in Orsted's words, as if he didn't think it was worth spending so much mana to save it.
Roa shook his head speechlessly and sighed, "Will this work?"
He reached out and touched Orsted's broad shoulder.
Golden light flickered as the Life Drain skill activated.
The Life Drain skill could absorb the target's life force and transfer one's own life force to the target.
Roa was transferring his mana.
Under Orsted's surprised gaze, a gentle stream of mana flowed in from the outside. It wasn't a small amount; it was vast and extremely gentle. The mana poured into Orsted's body and quickly occupied a corner of it.
Orsted said in surprise, "A strange magic. It can transfer mana. Its effect is completely different from the Back Dragon Gate."
[Back Dragon Gate] and [Front Dragon Gate] were a set of skills.
[Front Dragon Gate] was used to block and absorb mana, storing it within, while [Back Dragon Gate] was used to absorb the mana contained in the Front Dragon Gate.
The two complemented each other, possessing strong practicality.
Roa shrugged and urged, "Hurry up."
Orsted said nothing more and reached out to touch the dying dragon's head.
A stream of pure green light quickly enveloped the Red Dragon's body. Under Roa's stunned gaze, in just ten seconds, the Red Dragon, whose neck had been broken and half of its wings torn off, was completely restored.
The Red Dragon, covered in blood and on the verge of death, had healed in the blink of an eye.
How could this not be shocking? The healed Red Dragon couldn't move, and its consciousness was in a coma, but even so, being able to do this was remarkable.
"That's amazing healing magic," Roa commented, but Orsted was indifferent to Roa's praise. After completing the task, he asked, "What should we do next?"
Orsted looked at the Red Dragon, then at Nanahoshi, and finally said, "Let's leave it for now. It will find its way here when it wakes up. No beasts will come out in this weather. Let's go back first."
Orsted glanced at the Red Dragon lying on the ground, said nothing, nodded coldly, and led Roa towards the royal capital.
The tense relationship eased somewhat at this moment. Orsted was the type who didn't speak much and rarely said anything at all. Roa was the one providing information along the way.
Roa kept it simple, saying that he had the same enemy as Orsted: the Human God.
Their goals were aligned, and there was no need for a deathmatch. The battle just now was completely unnecessary.
Orsted remained silent, but Roa could sense that Orsted clearly regretted it.
Having used two-thirds of his mana meant that he had already lost. Even if he had managed to kill Roa, leaving only one-third of his mana would make it impossible to deal with the remaining problems.
This time, he had lost completely, a total defeat no matter how you looked at it.
But fortunately, the young man before him was actually planning to become an ally and fight against the Human God together.
This was a very good thing, no, to be precise, it was an incredible stroke of luck.
The young man before him wasn't afraid of him and had dragon blood flowing through his veins.
Although it was unknown whose blood it was, it was definitely dragon blood.
Since he possessed dragon blood, it meant that he and the other party should be related.
Orsted's mind was still filled with countless questions, but his poker face concealed them well.
There wasn't much animosity between Roa and Orsted.
The war had broken out entirely because of the Human God's instigation.
And as it turned out, the Human God's plan was quite successful. The two had fought with real fire. The Dragon God, as the world's number one, was truly worthy of the name. His powerful strength almost shattered Roa.
However, as far as the result was concerned, the Human God's provocation had created an opportunity for the two.
A chance to meet.
Who would have thought that the two would be able to reach a cooperation?
Although the process and result of the battle were very tragic, Roa didn't kill him. To be precise, Roa was forcing the Dragon God to submit. Roa never really wanted to kill the Dragon God from the beginning.
And in fact, even if the Dragon God had been tough to the end, Roa's blade would never have fallen.
The reason was simple: once he swung that blade, even if he could completely kill the Dragon God in this world, the price Roa would pay would be catastrophic beyond his imagination.
Roa's target wasn't the Dragon God. The reason he had chosen to clash with the Dragon God this time was entirely because he was disgusted by the Human God.
But fortunately, Roa was willing to hold back at the end, and Orsted had also relented.
Otherwise, no one could have predicted what would have happened.
If either of them had died here, it would have been a great advantage for the Human God behind the scenes.
If he had really killed the Dragon God, the Human God would have been grinning from ear to ear.
For Roa, the Human God was far more dangerous than the Dragon God.
So there was no need to kill the Dragon God. It was unnecessary.
Forming an alliance was the best solution.
Roa's consciousness was a little hazy. Even thinking about other things hurt terribly.
His consciousness was constantly fluctuating, like a person drowning in water, very uncomfortable.
In the end, he didn't even know what he was thinking. He just said a few words and fell into a deep sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
His whole body ached, and every movement felt like he was falling apart.
Roa sat up and quickly saw two young girls sleeping soundly in front of him.
One was a beautiful girl with blue hair, like a doll.
The other was a red-haired girl who was still a little young but had already begun to develop.
Roxy and Eris.
Roa looked at the two girls, stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
It seemed that after Orsted had brought him here, the two had stayed by his side, taking care of him.
Roa sighed, reached for two blankets by the bed, and put them over the two girls.
His arms were sore, and it was probably best not to hold a sword for a while. The wound in his lung from the Godsword still throbbed faintly.
Just as Roa put the blankets on the two girls, heavy footsteps came from outside the room, and then the door opened. Roa saw the person who had come.
It was still the same chiseled face, cold and stern, with a pair of indifferent golden eyes staring at Roa, wearing that rough white dragon-hide coat.
It was the Dragon God Orsted.
