I will swear to protect the beauty with my life

Chapter 959 I'm Out of Ideas 2.0

The Dark Flame Dragon God, who was sent flying by Sammer's punch, did not rush to retaliate. Instead, he remained calm and found a nearby place to rest, healing his wounds and recovering his strength and magic.

He knew Sammer too well. Sammer was closest to humans, and even though time had changed him a lot over the years, he had no reason to hate humans. Therefore, the Dark Flame Dragon was not worried about the safety of others at all.

On the contrary, it is very likely that Sammer will be restrained by him. If Fang Wuwei's body is taken over, his little apprentice, Ikeuchi Maki, will definitely react. And given Sammer's personality, he will never directly suppress the resistance of mortals. Subduing, explaining, and clarifying will take some time... It would be better to rest first.

Moreover, the Dark Flame Dragon's deeper thoughts... even if Fang Wuwei is possessed by Sammer, even if Sammer has been imprisoned and his personality has changed drastically, and he has begun to hate humans, in the end, it will not be Him who will cry.

When the World's Child is killed, the first to wail will surely be the World Consciousness. And when Fang Wuwei is possessed and taken over, it won't be him who suffers after the Gunsword Crusaders realize what's happening. So, after weighing the pros and cons, Dark Flame Dragon is no longer anxious and is completely at ease, focusing on recovery. Even if he dies, he believes that the Gunsword Crusaders behind Fang Wuwei will resurrect them.

And just as he had expected, several minutes later, a crimson meteor pierced the darkness at the edge of the night sky, shooting straight into the clouds, then locking onto the Dark Flame Dragon and charging towards it.

"Dark Flame Dragon!!"

"You still show the same boundless love for humankind as always!"

The Dark Flame Dragon God grinned maliciously. Sensing that Liu Hua and the others in the distance were unharmed, he immediately realized that Sammer was still the same Sammer, unchanged. Even though he had been imprisoned in the abyss to the point of madness and washed away by tens of millions of years, he was still the fire god who was closest to humanity.

In that case, the Dark Flame Dragon was no longer afraid. It did not believe that Sammer could not see that its current body belonged to a human.

So the Dark Flame Dragon God stopped retreating and instead imitated Sammer, coating his fists with black flames. The black flames rose, compressed, and solidified from his fists, turning into a layer of dark flame gauntlets like obsidian, which he then punched at Sammer's incoming fist.

The two gods' flaming fists collided on the spot, and the power that erupted seemed to freeze space itself. Then, the floor beneath the Dark Flame Dragon God's feet cracked instantly, and all the glass in the building beneath him shattered at the same moment, causing screams to erupt everywhere.

Feeling the force coming from in front of him, the Dark Flame Dragon God's lips curled up even more.

"Just as I expected! Just as I expected! Just as I expected!"

The Dark Flame Dragon God only felt a sharp pain in the tip of his fist, but his arm was still intact and the building hadn't collapsed, which was enough to explain the situation.

Fang Wuwei is the God of Thunder, and his body is already strong. Now, with the divine power of the God of Fire, his combat power has increased by more than one level. In addition, the Dark Flame Dragon God is in a state of insufficient magic power and injury. Given the current situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that Sammer's punch will directly blast him and the entire area within a ten-mile radius around him away.

But no, not even His arms were damaged and did not explode on the spot. The building beneath His feet was only damaged by the shockwave, with broken glass, but otherwise unharmed.

This means that Sammer will be mindful of humans, and that his current body is that of Yuta, a mere mortal, and therefore will not dare to kill him.

Sammer held back.

"You've softened your heart!"

"mean!"

Sammer's face contorted in a ferocious expression, and the viciousness emanating from Fang Wuwei's face, along with the gnashing hatred in his teeth, was, in the eyes of the Dark Flame Dragon, somewhat reminiscent of Amuse.

"This is called outsmarting the enemy! If I didn't have wisdom, how could I have slaughtered all the gods in the heavens?!"

Facing his old enemy, Dark Flame Dragon's emotions soared like never before, his face filled with excitement. The grudges spanning millions of years ignited at this moment. Then, Sammer grabbed him by the neck, twisted his body, and threw him into the sky, far away from the city.

Sammer himself transformed into a pillar of fire and charged out, giving chase. In an instant, he caught up with the Dark Flame Dragon God and unleashed another heavy punch, without any fancy moves, striking directly at His face. Immediately, two streams of blood spurted from His nose, but the smile on the Dark Flame Dragon God's face did not diminish in the slightest.

"If you dare not kill me, why waste your energy here?"

"My pleasure!"

Sammer was furious. He threw one punch, two punches, three punches, each one landing solidly on the Dark Flame Dragon God. The Dark Flame Dragon God remained unmoved, seemingly unconcerned even as its injuries worsened, and never made any significant counterattack.

In the end, as long as Yuta doesn't die, He can pack up and go back into the body. Yuta will suffer all the pain, and He won't have anything to do with it. If Yuta dies, He can wait a few days until the world consciousness adjusts the other world to the Blue Moon, and then His true form can come out and beat up Sammer.

No matter what, it has nothing to do with Him. If Fang Wuwei is really possessed, the most anxious one is the world consciousness above Him. His beloved father, whom he begged and pleaded for, died under his own hands. Let's see if the world consciousness will kneel down after Fang Wuwei comes back.

Sammer's fists rained down like raindrops, each punch carrying immense force. Even the Dark Flame Dragon God felt pain as they struck, and the injuries on the Dark Flame Dragon God's body became increasingly horrific—his facial bones were sunken, his ribs were broken, and his internal organs were bleeding... If it weren't for the divine power holding him up, this body would have collapsed long ago. But he could also sense that Sammer was showing mercy and didn't dare to truly kill him.

The Dark Flame Dragon God barely managed to catch Sammer's punch before he had a chance to speak.

"Since you still care deeply for humanity, why bother taking over this boy's body?"

"Shut up!!"

Unfortunately, Sammer didn't want to hear a single word from the Dark Flame Dragon. Everything he wanted to know and ask, Fang Wuwei had already told him. The time he had agreed upon with Fang Wuwei was running out. If he could just hurry up and deliver a couple more punches, he could die in peace.

Seeing this, the Dark Flame Dragon God stopped speaking, lowered his eyelids, and focused on defense and endurance.

He understood Samuel's hatred and anger.

Sammer's fist gradually subsided. Seeing the Dark Flame Dragon God covered in wounds and barely recognizable as a human, he hesitated. If he continued to fight, this mortal body would probably perish. But after only a moment, he raised his fist high again and delivered a final heavy punch to the Dark Flame Dragon God.

The two, who were fighting in mid-air, were hit by a punch from Sammer. The Dark Flame Dragon God immediately coughed up blood and plummeted towards the ground. He crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, and then fell silent.

Sammer silently raised his fist, staring at the unfamiliar hand, remaining silent for a long time, the light in his eyes gradually fading, returning to deathly stillness.

He got his wish and gave the Dark Flame Dragon a good beating, but he felt no joy or pleasure. He looked up at the world, at the bright lights in the distance, and at the humans pointing and gesturing in his direction. He felt only emptiness and bewilderment.

He remained silent for a long, long time, seemingly lost in thought. Sammer stood there, letting the cold wind howl against him. After a long silence, two hot tears finally rolled down his cheeks.

"...Would you like another ten minutes?"

Fang Wuwei's voice echoed in his mind. Throughout the entire time that Sammer occupied his body, Fang Wuwei remained awake. At this moment, he glanced at Yuta's miserable state and thought that if he treated him and let him cosplay as a punching bag for a few more minutes... it should still be possible.

Or, to put it another way, simply giving this ancient fire god some time to experience the beauty of the human world again wouldn't be a bad idea.

But Sammer remained silent, slowly closing his eyes, voluntarily and calmly relinquishing his consciousness. His body became powerless, and the Vulcan corona behind him flickered for a moment. Fang Wuwei then began to take over his body, his spirit returning to his physical form, and the familiar sense of fulfillment returned once more.

"The fire is out, my time is up."

In the very end, Sammer left behind only these last words, which echoed ethereally in Fang Wuwei's mind, until even the sound gradually faded away, until finally, Sammer's last warmth disappeared.

In this world today, the only evidence that Sammer once existed is the Vulcan corona behind him.

Okay... goodnight.

No one answered.

Sammer left quietly, as if it were just a temporary departure, but Fang Wuwei knew that they would never see each other again.

Fang Wuwei could only sigh heavily as he plummeted like a meteor, landing and coming to a stop beside the Dark Flame Dragon God.

At this moment, the Dark Flame Dragon could no longer maintain its form as the Dark Flame Dragon God. Even its original form had shrunk considerably, with only a tiny wisp of black flame forming its shape as it lay on Yuta's shoulder, extremely weak.

“Sammer…”

"It's me, I'm back."

Fang Wuwei waved his hand, interrupting the Dark Flame Dragon's cries, and then squatted down under its surprised gaze to check Yuta's breath.

"He is still alive, but if he does not receive treatment, he will die immediately."

"...I see now, damn it, you really went all out! Yuuta, you died a horrible death, I'll burn a lot more for you next year..."

"He's not dead yet."
