Novel Full Chapter 486 If I Survive This, You’d Better Compensate Me
Lux sighed after seeing that General Carran had finally arrived at the scene.
However, he didn’t order his subordinates to leave. Instead, he ordered them to look for an opportunity to give the killing blow to the Ammarian General, whose injuries were more serious than the injuries that could be seen by the naked eye.

Although his reinforcements had arrived, the Half-Elf didn’t drop his guard because he knew that he wasn’t out of danger just yet.
If not for the fact that General Carran had forced General Revon to deflect the spear that he had thrown at his enemy’s back, the Ammarian General might have already killed the Half-Elf, ejecting him out of the Dungeon, and preventing him from rejoining the war.
The two Generals stared at each other for a brief moment before General Revon held the spear in his hands firmly, and gathered a great amount of wind magic in its tip, creating strong gusts of winds that blew towards him.
General Carran knew that his enemy understood that there was no way for him to escape, so he assumed that General Revon planned to end their faceoff with a single killing blow that would decide the outcome of the war.
“So be it!” General Carran also held the spear in his hand, and channeled his own unique magic in it.
General Carran’s specialty was Metal Magic. This allowed him to manipulate any kind of metal, to a certain extent, as well as empower his weapon, and armor beyond its limit.
Black mists rose up from the ground and gathered on the tip of General Carran’s Spear as he activated his Trump Card to face off against General Revon’s own final gambit.
The black mists that were flying in his direction weren’t actually gas, but iron filings, and other metals that were in his immediate surroundings.
General Carran condensed them together, increasing the size of his spear, making it harder, sharper, and countless times more deadly.
There was a time when General Carrran had made a gigantic spear that easily pierced through the barriers of the Ammarian Army, and broke through the walls of their fortress, allowing the Yelan Army to capture one of their main strongholds, which allowed them to capture the lands belonging to the Ammarian Kingdom.
Lux knew that there was a very high possibility that he would be caught in the aftermath of the two General’s confrontation, so he was paying close attention to the cooldown of his Boots of Teleportation.
As soon as the cooldown finished, he would immediately teleport away, and recall his Subordinates.
Although he felt regretful that he wouldn’t be able to land the killing blow at the General, his life was more important than the rewards he would gain if he remained on the battlefield.

Beads of sweat formed on top of Lux’s head, as he continually shifted his attention between the battle that was about to start, as well as the cooldown of his life saving artifact.
Due to his constant glancing at his Soul Book, he noticed a green dot appear on the map, and it was currently speeding towards his direction.
Unlike the other green dots on the map, this particular green dot had a name, which meant that they were one of Lux’s party members.
A quick glance was enough to tell him who it was, but before the Half-Elf could even tell the thick-skinned boar to stay away from the battlefield, Cai’s voice reached Lux’s ears.
“Lux, don’t move from where you are!” Cai shouted.
The Half-Elf only understood what Cai had meant when it told him to not move from his spot when he heard General Revon’s crisp and overbearing roar.
“Rend my foes to shreds!” General Revon roared. “Requiem of the Storm Winds!”
“Annihilate!” General Carran shouted as he pulled back his arm to throw the giant spear towards his enemy. “Florance, Spear of Giant Slaying!”
Both Generals threw their weapons at the same time, but to General Carran’s surprise, General Revon didn’t throw his spear in his direction, but towards the Half-Elf, whose eyes had widened in shock.
The wind hummed as the spear containing the full might of a C-Ranker headed towards the Half-Elf, whose body was frozen in place.
General Revon’s attack had an added ability, and that was to immobilize his targets, preventing them from escaping his killing blow.
This was why General Revon was a feared enemy by the Yelan Generals because he had slain many of their comrades in the same manner. Only General Carran was confident enough to face off against him, so he was the one that was assigned to fight against the strongest among the Ammarian Generals.
Although he knew that it was futile, Lux still decided to summon several layers of Bone Walls in front of him, in an attempt to decrease the force behind the General’s attack, giving him a chance of survival.
However, before he could even do that, he heard Cai’s shout, which seemed to suppress all sounds in his surroundings.
“Fourth Gear!”
At that moment, a boar that was over five meters tall appeared in front of the Half-Elf, standing in the path of the destructive spear that was strong enough to obliterate an entire town.
“Twrch Trwyth!” Cai roared as she used her tusks to create a barrier and block the incoming spear that was meant to take the Half-Elf’s life.
After the incident at the Gate of the Domain of the Fallen, her Grandfather, Maximilian, had given her two things.
The first one was the poison that could paralyze a Ranker.
The second one was the spirit of a powerful Boar who had reached the Argonaut Rank.
This was Cai’s Fourth Form and Trump Card, allowing her to gain the strength of a Ranker temporarily.
Even so, the disparity between an E-Ranker, and a C-Ranker was immense, making Cai’s hooves skid across the ground.
Due to his strong sense of hearing, the Half-Elf heard a faint cracking sound in front of him, making him feel as if he had lost all the breath in his body.
Cracks started to form on the surface of Cai’s tusks, but the Boar held its ground as the power behind the spear decreased with each passing second.
“Lux, I apologize for the things I did to you in the past,” Cai said as the cracks in its tusks widened. “Originally, I didn’t want to come because the spirits were telling me that doing so would be extremely dangerous.”
Cai’s tusks began to splinter, as it resisted the pressure that was similar to a mountain pressing on top of it, with every fiber of its being.
“But, if something happens to you, Iris will be sad,” Cai stated as bits and pieces of its tusks broke apart. “Iris is my first best friend, and I want her to be the happiest girl in the world. Which means that I can’t just stand idly as you face someone that can end your life so easily. That’s why… I decided to come.
“And Lux, if I survive this, you’d better compensate me.”
A grunt escaped Cai’s lips as one of its tusks shattered. Cracks immediately appeared in the barrier, making creaking sounds, alerting the Boar and the Half-Elf that it could shatter at any given moment.
“Iris… I’m sorry.”
Cai’s words, filled with unwillingness, spread in the surroundings as its last tusk broke apart, making the barrier in front of it shatter.
The Boar then decisively used its body to shield the Half-Elf behind its back.
General Revon’s spear embedded itself halfway in the Giant Boar’s body, which sent Cai flying.
Lux, who was behind the Giant Boar, was pushed away by Pazuzu, preventing Cai’s body from colliding against his Master.
The Fortress Defender then activated his Shield Wall in an attempt to slow down the speed at which Cai was pushed back by the momentum of General Revon’s attack, making his body smash against the trees behind him.
As much as possible, he didn’t want the already seriously injured Cai to suffer more injuries as he used his body to break its fall.
After being pushed for hundreds of meters, Cai’s body finally collapsed on the ground, while Pazuzu’s body slowly turned into particles of light.
He had done his best to protect the Boar, who had saved his Master’s life, from further injury. Pazuzu hoped that the next time Lux summoned him, he would still be able to see the annoying Boar, whose vocal antics could even force the dead to rise up from their grave, in order to slap it.
Lux, who had been pushed aside by his Fortress Defender, propped himself off the ground and immediately looked at the wreckage behind him.
Blood drained from his face when he saw the Boar’s current circumstance, making him feel as if a stake had been stabbed in his heart.
“Cai!” Lux shouted as he flew towards the Boar, whose body glowed faintly.
Just as the Half-Elf landed beside Cai, the Boar’s body shattered like a crystal glass that had fallen on the floor.
These shattered pieces soon dissolved into particles of light, revealing a naked beauty lying on the ground. A puddle of blood could be seen under her body, and her face was devoid of any colors.
Even so, a sad, yet beautiful smile could be seen on her face, despite the fact that her body was covered with her own blood, and all the warmth she currently had was slowly slipping away, like the sand inside an hourglass, whose time was about to run out.
