Chapter 527: Chapter 145: The Flickering Little Flame

Lady now grabbed anything she could and threw it, soon exhausting all of the smoke bombs she had on her, and throwing out one of the secret weapons Li Yu had given her.

But it didn’t do any good. She got hit by a punch from the Earth Bear, and the glass bottle burst open right in the middle.

Fortunately, the continuous harassment had slowed down the Earth Bear’s advance somewhat, buying Ireya some time. Like a starving tiger pouncing on its prey, she picked up the dueling pistol that had fallen to the ground.

However, this time, Miss Rabbit’s hand holding the gun was trembling slightly.

She felt like she was about to be swallowed up by fear.

What kind of monster was this?!

The beast got up from the ground even after being shot in the head, seemingly unaffected in movement, and became even more ferocious when enraged.

Blood continued to seep from the Earth Bear’s dark, hollow eye socket, while the other eye turned crimson with anger.

For the first time, Ireya doubted the Hand of Judgment. Could the last lead bullet in the barrel really kill such a terrifying creature?

Lost in her thoughts for a moment, the Earth Bear had almost reached her. The Lady took a fearful half step back and pulled the trigger again.

But it was as if Saturday had given up on her, the dueling pistol Ireya had struggled to recover, her last hope, misfired at that moment.

Accompanied by a muffled ’puff’ sound, and although a little white smoke rose, the lead bullet wasn’t propelled out of the barrel by the gunpowder.

A look of despair flashed in Miss Rabbit’s eyes. She could not believe that fate was playing a joke on her at such a moment.

She had used every method available in this fight, but she still couldn’t defeat her opponent. Now, there was nothing she could do but wait for death.

The Earth Bear took less than a breath to reach the young lady.

Once again, it reached for her neck, intending to snap Ireya’s neck just like it had done to the previous referee.

And at this moment, the Lady had also given up resisting. There was no point; her physical abilities and combat skills were far too inferior to the Earth Bear’s. Struggling would only bring more humiliation.

However, as Ireya prepared to close her eyes and await death, her gaze inadvertently swept across her wrist and saw the Disney Watch there.

It was a gift from Li Yu on her birthday.

Ireya did not know why she would notice the watch again in her last moments of life, but in the next instance, the image of that black silhouette couldn’t help but re-emerge in her mind.

No, this won’t do! I can’t just die here!

If that short hand on the watch turned four more circles, she would be able to see that person again.

And there were also so many words she had kept in her heart this whole time; if she died like this, she would never have the chance to speak them.

With such thoughts, Ireya’s originally muddled gaze regained its determination.

But at this moment, she had been driven into a corner, with death looming so close that it might arrive in the next second, and she had very little time left.

Yet under this immense pressure, Ireya became even more calm.

Her hand reached for her waist and found the Electronic Explosive Device hidden there, but before she could lift it, the Earth Bear had already grabbed her wrist first.

With just a gentle tug, the Lady felt as if her arm were about to be ripped off from her shoulder.

But this also bought her some time, and while the Earth Bear’s attention was fully focused on the Electronic Explosive Device, Ireya’s other hand found something else.

——A lighter.

Enduring the pain, the Lady flicked the wheel, and soon a small flame shot up from the top of the lighter.

Everyone, including the Earth Bear, thought the little flame was nothing more than Ireya’s futile struggle in her dying moments.

Because the flame was so small, it could be blown out with just a breath, it posed no threat, not even to a child, let alone a warrior like the Earth Bear.

Edward II couldn’t help but sigh at the sight, Ireya’s close combat skills might have been lacking, but that knight spirit of fighting to the last breath was truly touching.

Unfortunately, the disparity in strength between them was still too great, and the Divine Power of Saturday was not as strong as Valria’s.

The Earth Bear’s other hand was already on the young lady’s head, about to break her neck, while the Lady, with all her strength, brought the small flame close to the Earth Bear’s right arm.

And then, to everyone’s astonishment, the seemingly extinguishable flame burst into life, turning into a fire dragon and instantly engulfing the Earth Bear’s arm!

Ireya actually had a Molotov on her as well, and she finally remembered the correct way to use it, but it was too late.

According to Li Yu, one must first light the fuse at the end of the Molotov before throwing it to make it effective.

Miss Rabbit simply didn’t have the time now, but she remembered that the Earth Bear had previously shattered a flying Molotov with one hand, causing the mysterious liquid inside to spill out.

So what she needed to do was summon the flames and ignite the mysterious liquid that was on the Earth Bear.

And the Earth Bear was obviously shocked by the fire that had come out of nowhere.

Getting scorched was one thing; he was clad in full armor, so the sudden burst of flames hadn’t actually burned his skin directly.

What truly astonished the Earth Bear was that the Lady’s method was exactly the same as the one Cornelia had used not long ago.

The Female Priest had also made his sword burst into intense flames, and now seeing this familiar scene unfold once again, it was no wonder that the Earth Bear couldn’t help but be suspicious.

He began to question the relationship between the Female Priest and Ireya, as well as between Saturday and the Life Goddess.

And in the blink of an eye, the Lady had taken off the second Molotov from her waist and thrown it viciously at her opponent.

The bottle struck the Earth Bear’s chestplate and shattered the next second, drenching the Earth Bear with the liquid inside.

Before he could react, the fire on his arm flared up again, this time completely engulfing him!

In that moment, the Earth Bear was like a pile of kindling, wholly ignited, with flames and scorching heatwaves that made the surrounding spectators back away involuntarily.

The Earth Bear finally stopped caring about Ireya in his hand and threw her aside, then dropped to the ground to roll, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.

But after rolling on the ground twice, the fire showed no signs of diminishing, and the armor heated up rapidly, to the point where the Earth Bear could even smell his own flesh scorching.
