<h4>Chapter 233 ying With Fire [Part 4]</h4>


    As Thirteen and cky charged toward the Ogre King, who had been sent flying by the Fire Dragon earlier, he couldn''t help but nce at his Status Page to see his Sixth Trial.


    ——————————————


    < Sixth Trial >


    — Light the Beacon of Hope


    — Reward: You will be given the option to ask for whatever reward you want. However, this reward doesn''t extend to the restrictions that are ced on your body.


    Even if you wish for them to be removed, it will not happen. So, think of the next best thing as your reward forpleting this monumental task.


    P.S. As long as the reward you wish for is within reasonable bounds, it will be granted without fail!


    ——————————————


    Thirteen had long be paranoid of missions with a reward like this.


    Simply put, if the seven-year-old could light the Beacon of Hope, he would be given a wish. But, thest time he asked for a wish, this wish was not granted to him.


    Because of this, the System of Cannon Fodders had developed trust issues when it came to rewards like these.


    Pushing these thoughts to the side, Thirteen finally reached the location of the Ogre King, who had just managed to prop himself up from the ground.


    "Mr. Strong Ogre! There is something I want to say!" Thirteen shouted as cky stopped a few meters away from the Ogre King, who could easily turn the two of them to meat paste.


    "Are you food?" The Ogre King asked. "I''m not hungry! Come backter!"


    "No! I''m not food!" Thirteen replied. "There is just something I need to tell you!"


    "Speak!" the Ogre King said before it shifted its attention on the Fire Dragon, who had seeded innding a blow to the Tigerkin King''s body, sending him flying.


    "I have a friend that can help, but you need to create an opportunity for him to strike!" Thirteen exined.


    Since the seven-year-old knew that Ogres weren''t really that smart, he exined his case as simply as possible, making the Ogre King nod its head.


    "Okay!" the Ogre King agreed before running toward the Fire Dragon with a roar filled with defiance.


    Thirteen, who had managed to convey his n to the Ogre King, asked cky to take him to the Tigerkin King, who had suffered an injury after getting hit by the Dragon''s attack.


    Fortunately, King As had a robust body and a powerful regeneration ability, so he only needed a few minutes to fully recover and fight the Fire Dragon once again.


    What happened between the Human boy and the Ogre King didn''t escape his attention, so when the seven-year-old ran in his direction, he decided to give the boy a chance to speak to him.


    "Your Majesty, I am Anwir''s Sworn Brother. I have a n that can help defeat the Fire Dragon," Thirteen said.


    "Speak," the Tigerkin King replied.


    If this were a normal time, he wouldn''t even bother to discuss anything with a Human, especially a Human child. But after hearing that he was Anwir''s Sworn Brother, he decided to give him a chance.


    When he asked General Stark''s adoptive son to talk to him, Anwir mentioned that he had a dependable Sworn Brother, who, despite his young age, held great wisdom that wasparable to those older than him.


    As early as that time, the Tigerkin King became curious about the person whom Anwir was praising in front of him.


    After hearing the boy''s ns, the Tigerkin King couldn''t help but smirk.


    "It seems that Anwir is right." King As smirked. "Very well. Let''s see if this n of yours will work."


    Although he still hadn''t fully recovered from his injury, he had recovered enough strength to join the Ogre King in its fight against the Fire Dragon, whose Dragon Breath grazed the strong monster, who refused to back down against it.


    The moment the Tigerkin King rejoined the fight, the Fire Dragon found himself being attacked in its blind spot, forcing it to go into the defensive.


    Although its body was strong, King As was using Sound Waves to target its organs, which resulted in internal bleeding.


    At first, the effect wasn''t that noticeable, but the longer the battlested, the slower the movements of the Fire Dragon became.


    Losing its ability to fly, it was forced to go into the defensive and use everything in its arsenal to fight the two Kings, whose weapons were doing a good number on its body.


    Still, the injuries that the two Kings were receiving weren''t light.


    For each blow the Fire Dragon took from them, they received equal, if not greater, damage to their own bodies.


    As the battle progressed, these injuries became worse to the point that merely standing up to dodge the Dragon''s attacks was a monumental task.


    The Ogre King had a huge gash on its chest, where blood flowed steadily, and its left arm was also bent in an unnatural angle.


    Even so, its ferocity and tenacity held strong, raring to fight the Fire Dragon until it drew itsst breath.


    The Tigerkin King was also in a very bad shape.


    During one of their shes, the Fire Dragon managed to make a counter attack and bit off King As'' left arm, lowering his fighting ability by half.


    With only his dominant arm remaining, the Tigerkin King knew that it was only a matter of time before they lost the battle.


    But just as the Fire Dragon thought that it already had this fight in the bag, the ground under its feet gave way, making its body fall into a twenty-meter-deep pit.


    The two monsters, who were waiting for this moment, immediately targeted the Rank 9 Monster, who didn''t know what had happened.


    Rocky knew that he wouldn''t be able to deal great damage to the Fire Dragon, so it did the only thing that it could do. It tightly coiled its body around the Fire Dragon''s tail and pulled it downward, holding it in ce.


    The Ogre King, King Gomorra, and the Tigerkin, King As, didn''t hesitate to jump into the hole and pummel the Fire Dragon''s head with everything they had.


    The Fire Dragon, who could still move its arms, was about to crush the two insects that were messing with it, when a pair of wed hands grabbed its Draconis arms from behind and held them in ce.


    Cranky appeared and bit the Fire Dragon''s neck, which had been seriously injured by the Ogre King''s Bone Club and the Tigerkin King''s gauntlets, refusing to let go.


    After consuming the body and the Jinn Core of the Rank 6 Overlord Hyena, the Purple-Furred Honey Badger underwent a mutation, transforming into a Devil-Horned Honey Badger, which was a Rank 7 Sovereign.


    Cranky knew that the only choice it had was to fight alongside Thirteen or die and be consumed by Arundel and his subordinates.


    The funny thing was that, due to its fear of the Majin Prince, it had gained a simr skill to Rocky and Tiona, allowing it to dig through the ground without leaving any traces.


    However, this ability was enhanced further because Devil-


    Horned Honey Badger could now create sinkholes in the ground and bring any of its targets toward it.


    So, with its newly-gained strength, it decided to tag-team with the Ogre King and the Tigerkin King to defeat the Fire Dragon.


    Thirteen made sure that the two kings wouldn''t attack Cranky and assured them that it was their ally. Because of this, they focused on just beating the crap out of the Fire Dragon, who suddenly decided that enough was enough.


    Out of desperation, it then opened its mouth to unleash a Dragon''s Breath at point-nk range, not caring about the aftermath.


    But that was a huge mistake.


    As soon as it opened its mouth, Giga Chad''s Giga Destroyer sted straight into its mouth, making it choke.


    But that was the least of its worries.


    A spark was ignited in the Fire Dragon''s throat, causing Giga Chad''s stink spray tobust inside the Fire Dragon''s body, mortally wounding the Rank 9 Sovereign.


    "Onest push!" Thirteen shouted. "Kill!"


    "Sure thing, son."


    Before Thirteen could even react to the voice from behind him, Gerald jumped down the hole with his hammer ready to strike.


    Golden mes zed around the Grandmaster''s hammer, augmenting its power to devastating levels.


    "Hammer for all Seasons Final Form!" Gerald roared as he unleashed the Martial Technique''s strongest killing blow. "Fortress Breaker!"


    With a blow powerful enough to destroy the defensive walls of a fortress, Gerald''s hammer smashed against the Fire Dragon''s head like a meteorite.


    A cracking sound reverberated in the surroundings, which signaled the death of one of Arundel''s Generals.


    The mighty Fire Dragon died after getting gangbanged by desperate people and monsters, whose only desire was to live and return to their families who were waiting for them back home.
