The formation had completed its fourth form. All hundred dragons revived, they were now Soul Refining stage beasts. Each dragon was over seventy meters long and radiated an aura of pure destruction.
Everything looked extremely realistic even though it was all just created from a formation. The vast aura from the hundred dragons pressed against Lailah to the point where she even struggled to breathe as if she was dying from asphyxiation.
Another dragon's roar resounded as several dozen dragons charged at Lailah. Their auras were like a huge mountain, brutally pressing against Lailah's soft body.
Lailah was pale, she had already given up resisting. When she broke through the third form of the formation, she had already lost a great amount of lifeblood. She was so weak that she would not even have the power to face the third form again right now, much less the fourth.
Several dozen huge Soul Refining dragons aggressively charged at Lailah, wanting to break her into pieces. The distance between them was decreasing rapidly.
Lailah slowly closed her eyes, falling to the ground while slowly losing her consciousness. Her heart was filled with an unwillingness to give in, but she had no power to resist the fourth form.
Just when she was about to accept her fate, a golden bolt of lightning flashed in the hazy space when the dragons were a hundred meters away from her.
Michael directly charged into the formation's space, with one goal in his mind, save Lailah. As soon as he entered, the scene before him changed drastically, he saw the might of the killing formation clearly. He appeared right beside Lailah, so everything he saw was exactly what Lailah was experiencing. A few dragons had already flown over, swinging their huge dragon claws filled with a force capable of shattering the void at him. The claws were already less than ten meters from their heads.
Time was of the essence, if he wanted to save her and escape this formation, he had to find the formation's source. He did not have the time to say anything as he lifted her from the ground.
"Lightning Dash"
All of his hair suddenly stood up like he was zapped. He sensed the great danger rapidly drawing closer and closer with each passing second. While carrying her in his arms, he activated the Lightning Dash before swallowing the remaining perception pills he had. When Lailah was surrounded by the death-kissed aura, the hundred dragons in the formation lost their target as they suddenly looked confused.
A small sigh of relief escaped his mouth when he saw the confused look on the gigantic creatures. However, he did not waste any seconds as he paid closer attention to every nook and cranny in the formation to find the source. After losing their initial target, the hundred dragons turned their attention towards the mindless mutated beings who had rushed into the formation. While the mutated beings were being disintegrated by the dragon's breaths, Michael was searching for the source.
"There it is" Lady luck was with him this time as he found out the source sooner than he expected. The source was a small stone that was laying on the ground in plain sight. Thanks to his heightened senses due to the perception pills, he identified the stone as the source before sending a bolt of lightning at the stone. The moment the bolt of lightning hit the stone, the scenery around him changed in a blink of an eye, and without him knowing, he was teleported away from where he was.
Realizing he escaped the formation and somewhat understood that he was teleported, he sucked in a deep breath, slowly calming himself. Just as he sucked in that breath, he smelt a vague fragrance. His attention, which had been focused on the experience in the formation from before, was directed toward Lailah.
Currently, Lailah had collapsed on Michael's body powerlessly. Her slightly warm body pressed closely to Michael's toned chest, her face pale and her eyes dull. She was extremely weak. Breaking the third form of the formation before had cost her dearly, to the point where she did not even have the power to move. The Angel's veena that she always carried had disappeared too, returning inside her body.
Feeling Lailah's soft body and the fragrance, his heartbeat increased a little which was not surprising because any man would tremble or at least slightly if they saw a gorgeous woman like Lailah. She had always been a dignified, saintly, and divine woman to Michael. Never had he thought that they would be so physically close.
However, he was not one of those guys who would drool and turn into an absolute beta in front of beauty like her. After all, only because he was an alpha male, he got the badass system.
"Lady Alden, are you awake?" He gently placed Lailah's back against a huge tree after he looked around to see if any mutated beings were approaching them.
Lailah slowly opened her eyes to see Michael staring at her. A red flush immediately appeared on her concealed face when she realized that he carried her in his arms here. However, she recovered very quickly, "you're alive" Lailah's voice carried a sliver of surprise but it was extremely indifferent.
He lightly chuckled, "Sorry to disappoint you, Lady Alden" for a second, he saw her smile before she put an indifferent expression on her face.
"How did you escape the formation back there?" She asked, a sliver of shock was hidden within her eyes.
"It was because of this baby dragon's aura, Lady Alden" Michael gently tapped the baby dragon on his chest.
"Surprisingly those dragons in the formation couldn't sense you after I picked you up. After that, I just kept running before something teleported us here " he did not reveal the fact that he could find a formation's power source because he wasn't sure whether it's an ancient secret part or not. He believed it's safe not to say anything until he himself confirms this with Gaya, his most trusted advisor.
"You must have triggered something," Lailah said after staring at him doubtfully for a few seconds. She couldn't find any explanations for how he escaped as she thought that he was just lucky.
