Chapter 52 Confrontation

The holy mist surrounding Blessed Light Island is produced from the Water of Life, a magical mist derived from the power of the world's runes.

This white mist that has lasted for thousands of years and completely enveloped the entire Blessed Light Island does not have the healing effect of the water of life, but it can completely disorient the creatures who enter it.

The reason why Fuguang Island can be hidden in the world and become the legendary "Utopia" that everyone yearns for is precisely because of the Holy Aura.

However, through research, Vasani's scholars have already discovered the fatal flaw of the holy cloud.

The white mist does not dissolve in seawater and cannot completely cover the sky of Fuguang Island.

After all, on Fuguang Island, you can clearly see the blue clouds and blue sky above your head and the bright stars at night.

In other words, not only the Kamavian dragon tamed by humans may break through the holy mist from somewhere in the sky.

If there are vastaya people who are proficient in water in Kamavia, they can also break through the white mist from the bottom of the sea and enter the Blessed Light Island.

Time was running out, so Josh took Ahri's hand and hurried back to Hylia.

At this time, the city was already in chaos.

Foreign enemies are present, and the dragon roars.

The golem puppets in the Vasani secret vault that were already ready to go were awakened by the Vasani people and sent out to guard the harbor and the Avenue of Scholars.

Fortunately, the elders still remembered the evacuation proposal that Josh had previously applied to the council, and the guards in the city had already begun to evacuate the panicked people.

"--roar!"

As if confused by the heavy fog and unable to break into the island, the Kamavian dragon roared angrily again, but its figure was more conspicuous than when Josh was still in the ancient forest area.

[Looking at this posture, this giant dragon should be able to find a way through the white mist in less than half an hour.]

Lunishia's tone was rarely serious, but the excitement in her words could not be concealed.

[Boy, are you ready to slay the dragon? 】

Josh ignored Lunessia for the time being. He had already seen Yaro and Lin running in this direction from the chaotic crowd.

"Little raccoon!"

Lin's eyes were red, she covered her mouth and nose to suppress her sobs, and rushed over quickly, followed closely by Yaro.

"Dad, mom..."

The family of three reunited in the chaos. Ahri hugged his parents and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Yaro and Lin's faces were not at all relaxed.

"Your prediction has come true!" Yaro's face was very solemn. "We must leave here and take the escape route you arranged before. Those Kamavians will not find it!"

Ahri turned around and took Josh's hand, his expression full of pleading, "Josh, come with us!"

However, Josh just shook his head, "No, I can't leave."

He sniffed, looked directly into Ahri's tearful eyes, and forced an unnatural smile, "Didn't we talk about this issue before? Don't you still believe in my strength?"

"But..." Ahri's face became anxious, "You just said you were going to fight Kamavia's army before, but now, it's a giant dragon!"

"It's just an ordinary flying dragon, what's so scary about it?" Lunessia said excitedly, "It's not Ixtar's magic elemental dragon. Wait for this beast to land and cut it off with the dance of death."

Just your head will do!]

That's easy to say!

Josh secretly cursed, his tense heartstrings not relaxing at Lunisia's words.

"Ali, be obedient, we made an appointment before."

Josh gently stroked Ahri's face and wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't forget my strength. With Lunessia's help, everything will be fine."

Although Josh didn't want to set up a flag at this time, he had to do this in order to comfort Ahri and keep her away from danger.

The figure of the giant dragon became clearer and clearer, Yaro urged: "Ahri, I believe Josh can take care of himself, we should go!"

Crystal tears fell from her eyes. Ahri knew very well that Josh would rarely go back on his decisions. He also knew that staying here, as he was not proficient in fighting, would only become a burden, so he pursed his lips and kept silent, no longer trying to persuade him.

However, before leaving, Ahri walked up to Josh, put her right hand around his neck, stood on tiptoes, and gave him a deep kiss.

After a while, Ahri returned to his parents, took out his own half of the Imero Stone from his pocket, and forced a smile on his tearful face.

"Remember you promised me that nothing will happen to you!"

…

…

Ahri followed her parents to another evacuation bay away from Hylia, which Josh had already discussed with them.

Faced with the attacks of Foego and the Iron Order, the elite knights of Camavia, Josh was confident of protecting himself, but the fact that Ahri stayed here made him uneasy.

Even using the fragments of the world rune cannot compete with Foyago holding the King's Sword. He can also use arcane teleportation to leave the scope of the Ruined Curse.

But the premise is that Josh can fight without worries.

From Hylia's circular ship port along the Avenue of Scholars all the way to the Shining Tower, Josh caught a glimpse of Malgusa and others who were protected by more than a dozen puppet golems and guards.

As soon as they saw Josh, Tyrus and Ryze, who were far away from the elders and hiding beside a golem, immediately came to meet him. They were also followed by a pair of teenage curly-haired twin sisters and a younger boy.

With frightened expressions on their faces, they clung tightly to the hem of Tyrus' gray robe.

Those were the children of Tyrus who lost their parents in the early years. Tyrus took good care of them as if they were his own children.

It's just that Tyrus, as an explorer, is too busy to adopt and take care of them, so he can only place them in an orphanage.

In the past six months, Josh got to know them again and got along quite happily.

Seeing Josh, a little boy named Tolu ran to Josh and hugged his leg, "Brother Josh!"

While stroking Tolu's fluffy hair, Josh smiled at him, then raised his head and frowned at Tyrus, "Why didn't you send the children away?"

Tyrus shook his head bitterly and did not answer. He just pointed at the main entrance of the Shimmering Tower behind the demon statue, in the direction where the elder was.

Because of the noisy environment and the huge puppet blocking the side of the Shuiguang Tower, Josh just couldn't see clearly what was going on there.

It wasn't until he got closer that Josh realized that the guards were preparing with weapons raised, while the elders were arguing with someone about something.

"Calista?"

When he saw a familiar woman in the crowd being protected by a tall, bald man who was half as tall as her body, Josh was startled and ran over immediately.

"How did you get in?!"

"Josh..." Callista, who was arguing with the toad-faced Bartek, turned her head when she heard this and said with a happy expression, "Explain to them quickly, I'm here to help you!"

Josh pushed past the guards and approached the men and women surrounded by them.

The bald man held the kite shield in his left hand and his right hand was on the hilt of the sword but had not yet drawn it out. He stared at Josh with sharp eyes.

However, Kalista put her hand on her forearm and comforted her: "Ledros, don't be nervous..."

【Oh, this is Ledros?】

Lunessia was surprised by the size difference between the two. She was fed rations by Josh and Ahri for half a year, and her thoughts couldn't help but deviate from the topic.

[Could this guy have troll blood, right? With such a big difference in size, how come...]

Lunishia suddenly realized what she was saying and immediately shut her mouth.

Then, she cursed in frustration: [Damn it! Josh, you and your little fox have affected me! 】

"Is now the time to think about this?"

While Josh didn't answer angrily on the mental level, he walked up to Calista in reality and asked seriously: "How did you get in?"

Kalista clearly left a paving stone before she left. Could it be that Greer gave her two stones?

But Kalista has a frank temperament, and she shouldn’t be like this...

When asked by Josh, Calista hesitated, "I..."

"How do you think she got in?!"

At this moment, Bartek, whose face was flushed and his wrinkled old face was trembling, walked into the circle of guards, pointed at Josh and Callista and cursed angrily, spitting.

"It's all you! Fuguang Island will suffer today's disaster, and none of you can escape!"

"Fuck you!" Ledros couldn't bear his violent temper. "Carly and I obviously came back with your explorers to report to you and come to help you, but you want to slander us like this!"

He took Callista's hand and glared at the elders and masters who were still arguing, "Carly, let's go! Don't worry about these fools who are intoxicated in the bubble of privilege.

Got it!"

"Bold!" Bartek's cloudy eyes widened, and the holy stone scepter in his hand, which was both a staff and a crutch, pointed at Ladros, "To be so insulting...take them down for me!"

However, at the next moment, with a crisp "pop" sound, Bartek's left side of his face immediately swelled up, and two of his teeth fell out. There was blood in his mouth, looking unbelievable.

The person who slapped him was Josh, who just walked up to Bartek while they were arguing.

"You, you actually..."

"Old man, I've been putting up with you for a damn long time!" Josh cursed in a disgusted tone.
