Daren was lying face down on the ground.

Blonde Eddie gently turned the brunette boy's body over and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Daren's abdomen was covered in blood!

Such injuries were so mild that they were completely beyond Eddie's expectations - in his imagination, Daren must be even worse than this. It was probably like the intermediate priest Clark, with a big hole directly penetrated into his chest and he would not survive anyway... But now he found that Daren's wound was scattered, like a sharp cut! And it was not too deep.

His eyes fell on the big iron shield beside him and he quickly found the answer.

The thick iron shield had a deformation pit at the upper center, which was very severely deformed, and it could even be said to be a hole that was "unbreakable"! The metal around the "hole" twisted inward and raised high, with some sharp breaks. It should be that they caused the sharp objects on Deren's chest and abdomen to be cut.

"…that water arrow was blocked?!!"

Eddie quickly came to a conclusion that he couldn't believe.

He could have guessed what happened at that time - the huge impact of the water arrow was not something that the brown-haired boy could resist, and easily pressed the shield to his chest, but it could not penetrate the shield! However, the decaying and deformed shield metal itself cut the brown-haired boy, and in the end the impact of the water arrow was knocked away by the man and the shield.

[What kind of shield is this?]

The blonde Eddie's eyes changed when he looked at the shield... This shield must be a treasure! Otherwise, how could an ordinary village boy hold it to block such a terrible attack? In the eyes of the archer, the simple patterns on the edge of the "Self-Defense Corps Shield" seemed to have become ancient and mysterious...

But humans are more important than shields.

Eddie quickly looked away and helped Daren, who was lying on the ground with grinning in pain. He planned to help him with a simple treatment of the wound, at least stop the bleeding first! Otherwise, it would be really dangerous.

Pastor Clark is not there, otherwise it would be just a slight effort.

But Daren suddenly pushed Eddie's hand away!

"Mr. Eddie...I'm fine... in the water...stop them..." Daren forced out a few words, his eyes drifting into the river.

This is the real purpose of him suddenly coming to help Eddie!

During the melee just now, Daren quickly realized that no matter how hard he fought, he could not change the situation. He also realized that the people of the Self-Defense Corps were all futile and could not stop the collapse of the water defense line! He didn't want the prophecy to come true, and Diana was still in the village of Dole... So he kept asking himself desperately what he could do?

What is useful to do?

Instead of staring at the battle in front of him like others, he looked up several times and tried to look around the entire river bank!

It was then that he saw the battle between the Adventurers and the Fishman leader!

He saw Eddie shooting on the spot, as if trying to accumulate something... He also saw Lord Gavin desperately blocking the water arrows shot again and again, and also saw the many efforts made by other adventurers to buy time for Eddie! As a bystander, Delen saw all these things clearly.

There is no doubt that what Lord Eddie is doing is very important. The key is that other adventurers must also let him complete the water arrows for him...the water arrows?

I wonder if I can help?

At that moment, Daren suddenly remembered what Enid told herself half a day ago:

"The crystal ball in your body may come from a very powerful magician..."

"Facing with an enemy that is not strong enough, crystal balls are not a bad thing. 'Magic deprivation' will make the enemy lose control of the natural elements in front of you..."

"...We don't know where the critical line of its ability to carry out 'magic deprivation' is... If you are used to seeing the crystal ball as an amulet, it may make you look down on danger, and even touch the danger that you shouldn't have touched... that is the real danger..."

At that moment, Daren's brain was very clear for some reason!

Can you block a water arrow once? - I don't know! The water arrow is obviously much more powerful than the burst water ball. Deren doesn't know whether the crystal ball can work again, so he can only say "possible".

But he leaned over without hesitation and prepared to help at any time.

He did not forget Enid's advice...

But this is not a "slighting danger", but a big bet that you still have to make even though you know the danger! Because in such a large-scale battle, no matter what you do, only adventurers can do! If you can help Lord Eddie, even if you only have a little bit, it would be more useful than killing more than a dozen Crack shrimp men by yourself!

It was with this belief that Deren stepped forward without hesitation when Tymond escaped - in fact, he had already activated it when Lord Gavin fell, and whether Tymond escaped or not, he would hold up his shield in front of Eddie.

———————

Eddie had a complicated expression, and he knew that Dellen was right.

Time can no longer tolerate him stopping the bleeding of the brunette boy himself - this matter can be done by any ordinary villager, but he can't! As one of the strongest adventurers present, Eddie has a more important mission at this moment!

The defense line in the water is about to collapse completely!

"Someone is injured here, please help him stop the bleeding--"

Eddie finally yelled around, then gently put Delan flat, nodded, and turned around and jumped into the river.

Daren lay on the muddy ground, and the dampness and coldness surged from behind.

After Eddie left, he could only see the sky. There was a hint of relief in Daren's eyes, but soon, his gaze began to blur, and a faint water flow came from all directions, as if it began to flood him.

[Is the elemental illusion... Sure enough, what should come is still coming...]

Daren smiled bitterly. From his previous experience of taking burst water balls, he knew that it would take a little time to form an illusion on himself by the natural elements deprived of crystal balls in the battle. Last time, he took many water balls and suddenly felt the "suffocation" level illusion.

And this time! It is an illusion formed by the terrifying "water arrow"! It is definitely stronger than the "suffocation" level water element illusion!

Coming soon...

There was no doubt that a look of fear appeared in Daren's eyes. He could not even imagine what it would feel like, but he only knew that it would be even more painful.

He just lay quietly on the ground, and his constant blood loss made his limbs feel colder and colder. The words Eddie yelled before leaving seemed to have no effect - there were too many monsters climbing ashore, and the people of the Self-Defense Corps were already in a tough battle and could not take care of themselves. Who could care about someone who was lying on the ground, not knowing whether it was death or alive?

[Grandpa William said that the natural elemental illusion is harmless to the body, but I will die this time...]

Daren's face was ashes.

The illusion will definitely bring suffocation, spasms, and a lot of blood loss... and I don't know if the monsters around me will just put a pincer on them, or just tear them apart and eat them...

Just then.

A figure suddenly appeared in his very blurred vision. The light linen hair was particularly familiar. The other party approached his face, as if shouting something at him.

[E...Nid...?Why did she come?]

Daren's gaze suddenly regained a little.

Then he saw a little girl with disheveled hair, blood on her face and scarred body, screaming at him with tears on her face, squatting beside him, trying to pull his arm onto his little shoulder.

"Dalen, wake up!Dalen! Get up!"
