Chapter 845 Melt
With all her might, Lizbeth smashed the head of Ice Dragon but to no avail.
“I have an idea!” An idea popped up in Renee’s mind after she saw how Jared was trapped in the dragon’s body.
“What is it? Quick!” Josephine asked impatiently.
Renee nodded. She turned around to glance at Colin before walking up to Ice Dragon.
Upon noticing Renee’s expression, Josephine somewhat understood what she planned to do.
She quickly caught up with Renee and grabbed her wrist. “Renee… You…”
Josephine did not know what else to say.
“I owed my life to Jared, and I’m willing to do anything for him. I have to do this.” Renee turned around and gave Josephine a faint smile.
Josephine gradually released Renee from her grip. Maybe someday, I’ll make the same sacrifice too.
Renee took another glance at Colin. Perhaps she had taken a liking to this playboy.
Colin responded with an awkward smile, as he had no idea why she looked at him.
Renee then slowly placed her hands on Ice Dragon and started absorbing the frosty energy from the creature.
Renee possessed the frosty constituent. Hence, she could draw the frosty energy into her body in no time.
Soon, frost began to form on Renee’s hair, and Ice Dragon started melting.
Jared, who was watching her from the body of the dragon, instantly knew what she was doing. He tried to roar to get her attention, but no one could hear him.
“Renee?” Colin finally noticed something was amiss. He ran toward Renee and tried to pull her away.
However, the moment he touched Renee’s body, his arm froze right away. Upon noticing that, his subordinates quickly pulled him away.
Renee was now completely covered in frost. Josephine could do nothing but cry on Lizbeth’s shoulder.
A dozen minutes later, Ice Dragon melted into a pool of water.
Jared slowly stood up while holding the draconic essence. He was stunned when he saw that Renee had turned into an ice sculpture. “Why did you do that? Why?”
Jared rubbed his palms to generate flames. He tried to warm Renee’s body, but she did not react to anything he did.
Jared howled in misery.
The fact that Renee had given up her life to save him pained him terribly.
“Calm down, Jared. Renee did it of her own will. We still have to complete the mission. You can’t just let Renee die in vain!” Lizbeth yelled at Jared.
After regaining his composure, Jared looked at Josephine and Lizbeth. Suddenly, he recalled something Draco had said the previous night.
“Both of you knew something like this would happen, didn’t you? You knew you would have to sacrifice your lives to help me retrieve the draconic essence, right?” Jared questioned the two women in a raised voice.
Josephine and Lizbeth kept mum, but their silent response explained everything.
Renee possessed the frosty constituent. Therefore, she could melt Ice Dragon to help Jared retrieve the draconic essence. Since Josephine possesses the fiery constituent, does that mean she’ll have to sacrifice her life to obtain Flame Dragon’s draconic essence for me?
Jared was stunned and did not know what else to think anymore. I’d rather abandon the quest than see them sacrifice their lives to gather the draconic essences!
“Why, Draco? Why?” Jared bellowed. He wanted to hate Draco but could not bring himself to do so.
