Chapter 1145 Thrilling Moment
On the battlefield, Allen Smith remained seated, utilizing this time to recover his internal energy as much as possible.

….
The recent battle had greatly depleted Allen Smith, leaving him almost exhausted.

Fortunately, in the next battle, Allen Smith only needed to withstand one round of attacks to buy time for conceding defeat and exiting the arena.

Soon, with the announcement from the Will of Tower, another giant lion emerged from the teleportation array and entered the battlefield.

Allen Smith didn’t rise, knowing there was still some time left.

With each bit of energy he regained, Allen Smith gained more confidence for the impending battle. Naturally, he aimed to recover as much energy as possible.

While recuperating, Allen Smith also assessed the strength of the opposing giant lion.

Though not a mutated species with a special color, this giant lion appeared to be of normal color.

However, Allen Smith sensed its formidable strength, which had reached a 19-star combat strength.

Comparable to the previous giant red lion in combat strength, though not a special mutation, this lion was formidable, nonetheless.

Despite being capable of defeating the current giant lion in peak condition, Allen Smith’s current exhaustion significantly reduced his combat strength.

In this state, facing a giant lion with a 19-star combat strength undoubtedly pressured Allen Smith.

But with no retreat possible, Allen Smith had no choice but to confront it head-on.

Utilizing the remaining time, Allen Smith focused on replenishing his energy.

Before long, as the Will of Tower announced the final countdown, signaling the impending battle!

[Five, four, three, two, one, the battle begins!]

With the Will of Tower’s announcement, the battle officially commenced, and the barrier between Allen Smith and the giant lion vanished instantly.

As the barrier disappeared, the giant lion charged straight toward Allen Smith, clearly aware of his near exhaustion and determined to prevent his concession and exit from the field.

Allen Smith opted to concede while using his freshly regained energy to hastily defend.

A blood-red barrier materialized before Allen Smith, the result of his defensive skill enabled by the SS-grade Dragon-scaled Fiery Armor.

Knowing his precarious situation, Allen Smith relied heavily on his equipment.

Though primarily an offensive asset, the SS-grade Dragon-scaled Fiery Armor boasted formidable defensive capabilities as well, owing to its high-grade status.

Without hesitation, Allen Smith poured all his recently recovered energy into his defense.

His objective was clear, he wanted to withstand the giant lion’s assault with all his might.

Should he manage to buy this brief respite, the Will of the Tower’s teleportation array would successfully condense, enabling Allen Smith to concede and depart the battlefield.

Allen Smith aimed to escape this battle. He did not want to engage in this battle.

In an instant, the giant lion had already charged towards Allen Smith and launched a direct attack.

Allen Smith remained calm, exerting all his strength to uphold the blood-red barrier before him, imbued with the power of blood and the fire attribute.

“Bang!”

The collision of powerful forces emitted a resounding noise.

The blood-red barrier in front of Allen Smith didn’t hold for long before a crack appeared.

The appearance of a crack was instantaneously followed by an unstoppable spread, with numerous cracks swiftly emerging, causing the entire blood-red barrier to shatter.

The giant lion’s attack was aimed directly at Allen Smith.

At this moment, Allen Smith was utterly exhausted. The defensive skill he had just employed had drained all the remaining strength within him.

Allen Smith was completely depleted, with no energy left in his body.

Despite his intention to dodge the giant lion’s assault, he couldn’t manage it.

With a resounding thud, Allen Smith was sent flying dozens of meters away, akin to a kite with a broken string, and crashed heavily onto the ground.

Struggling to rise, Allen Smith found it extremely difficult, blood continuously spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Fortunately, although the giant lion’s attack broke through Allen Smith’s blood-red barrier, it successfully consumed a large amount of its power.

Therefore, the giant lion’s attack landed on Allen Smith. Although it directly injured Allen Smith, it could not instantly kill him.

At this time, there was enough time. The teleportation array condensed by the Will of the Tower had already appeared.

Allen Smith, who was already heavily injured, used his last bit of strength to crawl into the teleportation array.

When the giant lion saw this, it immediately roared anxiously and rushed towards Allen Smith.

However, the moment the giant lion touched Allen Smith, Allen Smith had already successfully entered the teleportation array and instantly disappeared.

The giant lion’s claws could even catch Allen Smith’s last trace, but it was just a little bit short.

On the battlefield, the experts of Team Origin watched the battle nervously. Everyone was worried about Allen Smith. They were all worried that Allen Smith would not be able to last until the teleportation array appeared and returned alive.

Fortunately, Allen Smith managed to stall for time and entered the teleportation array.

Although he was seriously injured, he still came back alive.

The teleportation array appeared and Allen Smith was teleported to the side of the experts of Team Origin.

Seeing this, Luo Wei and Ye Yifan quickly went up to support the seriously injured Allen Smith.

Liu Qingrou quickly took out a healing potion from her storage ring and went up to Allen Smith to give him emergency treatment.

After a round of treatment, Liu Qingrou looked at everyone and said, “He’s fine for now. His injuries are quite serious, but his life isn’t in danger. When we return to the Origin Territory, let’s find a few priests to treat him. He should be able to recover by half.”

Hearing Liu Qingrou’s words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Luo Wei looked at Allen Smith helplessly. “You’re going all out. It’s really dangerous this time.”

The rest of them looked at each other, feeling a little afraid.

The previous battle between Allen Smith and the giant red lion could not be described as anything but thrilling.

In fact, as a mutant, the giant lion had terrifying talent. Its strength was two combat stars level higher than Allen Smith’s.
