Chapter 413 The Last Hope

In the sky, the Death Spirit Dragon was still flapping its wings, soaring through the skies as giant fireballs brewed in its mouth.

On the ground, Lu Yu had already made his preparations. Jiang Lengyue stretched out her hand and pointed at Lu Yu, and a powerful force of telekinesis fell on Lu Yu’s body, allowing him to float in the air.

“Alright, let’s go. Try to get as close to the Death Spirit Dragon as possible.”

As Lu Yu spoke, Jiang Lengyue brought him along as they soared into the sky.

Lu Yu also had his own means of flight, such as the flying shuttle battle suit. But that didn’t allow him to fly high, and it would consume a lot of mana after a few rounds of maneuvering in the air.

His mana alone wasn’t enough to support him as he flew into the high sky.

The two quickly left the ground and went into the sky.

Lu Yu felt himself floating in the air and started to get nervous. He wasn’t sure if his Absorb skill would work, but he had to give it a try.

Soon, the two quickly arrived in the sky; a few hundred meters above their heads were nothing but thick clouds.

Lu Yu looked down at the ground, and all he could see was a sea of fire; he could no longer see anyone.

The only thing he saw in the sea of fire was an open space that the flames had not yet engulfed. That should be the place where Xu Yuan and the others were.

“I’ll bring you closer to the Death Spirit Dragon. Get ready!”

After Jiang Lengyue spoke, she brought Lu Yu along and flew toward the dragon.

Soon, the two of them arrived in front of the Death Spirit Dragon. The huge dragon was several times larger than a passenger plane, and its vast wings alone were enough to shock Lu Yu.

At that moment, it was still circling in the air, and Lu Yu could clearly see that it was circling the last piece of empty land. It was as if it knew what it was going to do, and that was to destroy all the living beings here!

“We are almost there. I’ll give it a try first.”

Jiang Lengyue still didn’t believe that her light element would be ineffective. Hence, she raised her right hand, and a massive ball of light condensed in the air, gliding toward the Death Spirit Dragon.

The ball of light came into contact with the dragon’s body, but there seemed to be no reaction.

On the ground, everyone looked at the sudden flash of light in the sky and got excited.

“The Dean is using her light elemental skills. It must be effective!”

“Let’s believe in her. She has helped the public survive countless catastrophes, which will be the same this time too!”

“This is our last hope. If this doesn’t have any effect, we’re really going to die here.”

“That’s right. The director will be doing her best. Our lives are in her hands now!”

“I hope her light elemental attack is effective. I don’t want to die yet; I want to go back and see my family!”

“Don’t despair. It’s not that moment yet!”

Everyone had placed their hopes on Jiang Lengyue, and no one paid any attention to Lu Yu.

From their point of view, if Jiang Lengyue were to fail, they would all be dead without exception. As for Lu Yu, they never once thought that Lu Yu could kill such a mighty dragon!

After all, what could a new student do if even Jiang Lengyue was helpless against this monster? How could he be more powerful than the Dean?

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the ball of light. That ray of light was their last hope.

Under everyone’s gaze, the ball of light touched the body of the Death Spirit Dragon.

Everyone held their breath, hoping to see the ball of light cause damage to the dragon. At the very least, they hoped for some sort of reaction from the beast.

However, the ball of light gradually passed through the body of the Death Spirit Dragon and continued to fly forward.

The light elemental attack was utterly useless and did not cause any damage! The dragon didn’t even have any reaction, and those who didn’t know would think that the ball of light was used solely for brightening up the sky!

“What? That’s impossible! How could it end like this?”

“Could it be that the difference in their strengths is really too great?”

“What? If even the Dean is helpless before it, then wouldn’t we just be sitting here and waiting for our eventual death?”

“We’re finished! Today will end with our deaths, and we’re destined to die. Such bad luck…”

“If I had known earlier, I would have gone out for a mission or two. Staying here just killed me!”

“The upper house is finished; it’s over!”

“We’ll be buried in a sea of fire and cremated on the spot!”

Everyone was pessimistic and believed that their lives were over.

“There’s no need to struggle anymore. Let’s just lie on the ground and quietly wait for our deaths.”

With that, one of them lay down and did nothing else, even though he couldn’t do anything in the first place.

The others were also frustrated. They either squatted on the ground, sat down, or lay around. They were all mentally tired and unwilling to continue struggling.

“It’s not the last moment yet, so don’t be discouraged too early.” Zhao Kuan consoled the others. Although he didn’t think much hope was left, he didn’t want to give in. He believed that his fate was in his own hands, not in the hands of the heavens!

“Brother Zhao, save it. We all know what the situation is like right now—different from the start.”

“That’s right. Look around us; it’s just a sea of fire roasting us alive. Who can pass through this impenetrable wall of fire?”

“We’ll need the military’s reinforcements to save us, but I don’t know if we’ll be able to live until then.”

“How unlucky. One of my mates just happened to be out on a mission today, and if only I went with him…”

“It’s a pity that there’s no signal here. I can’t even send a message to my family,”

Xu Yuan walked over and looked at everyone. “Everyone, don’t be so discouraged. Lu Yu hasn’t even made a move yet.”

“Tsk, are you really going to place your hopes on a newbie?”

“Forget it. Jiang Lengyue represents the strongest. So if she can’t do it, let’s just forget about him.”

“That’s right; Dean Jiang is proficient in all elements and an esper. If she can’t defeat a beast, anyone else can forget about it.”

Seeing that they didn’t want to believe Lu Yu, Xu Yuan didn’t know what to say. He still expressed that he believed in Lu Yu and would definitely do it!

At that moment, high up in the sky, Jiang Lengyue looked at the ball of light that had passed through the body of the Death Spirit Dragon and fell into a daze.

“How can it be? The effect is this minuscule?”

She could clearly see that when the ball of light came into contact with the dragon’s body, the dragon trembled a little, but it was only a slight tremble.

The disparity in strength appeared to be so great that she was helpless against it.

“Dean Jiang, let me get closer. I’m the one who has to complete this mission!”

Jiang Lengyue’s heart was filled with despair and she felt that the least she could do was to save Lu Yu.

“Since you want to try, go ahead. If there’s an accident, I’ll save you immediately. Even if the upper house is destroyed, you must live on!”
