The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 6998
Thea halted and glanced over her shoulder. To her surprise, Morgott got down on his knees.
She gasped, "Why are you..."
"You and James saved my life. I sincerely see James as my friend as well." Morgott continued, "In a dangerous situation like this, I should be the one to step up and battle, not you.
"James is sacrificing himself not to buy time for me to leave. Instead, he is doing it for you, for all beings, and the Great Historial Land.
"If you stayed behind, James would not be able to focus on having a full-on battle with Xanthakos. We’d lose and let all our efforts go to waste.
"James is the leader of all living beings. He has many good friends and comrades. He also has the responsibility of protecting the living beings.
"Therefore, we can't let Xanthakos and his men get their way. There needs to be a force that’ll keep those men wary and on their toes."

Thea was momentarily stunned after listening to Morgott’s heartfelt words. She never thought the newly recombined Morgott would decide this.
"We are running out of time, so I *11 share a secret that can help you escape here," Morgott hurriedly said, "Hokuwn exists anywhere and everywhere. Since you are the owner now, you can always make an opening in space and enter Hokuwn.
"You'll be able to escape the Wuinfinite Formation and travel back to the Great Historial Land.
"Then, you must watch over and defend the only place carrying James’ legacy. That way, we’d still have a second chance to exact our revenge.”
Thea raised her brows, in that case, we should leave together!"
"It won't work." Morgott said firmly, "Both James and I need to block the lights from the Gate of Mystery for you to have enough time to escape.
"Summon the spatial gate to Hokuwn and leave right away. Hurry!"
After saying that, Morgott let out a low growl and channeled the Tyrant Spear's powers to shove the wall of Bohnwer Light backward.
With a pained expression, Thea shut her eyes and heaved a deep breath.
She could tell that Morgott did not reveal the method initially since someone was bound to be sacrificed if they resorted to this option.
To repay James, Morgott was even willing to sacrifice himself to help Thea. That was why Thea must not hesitate or waste any more time since her indecisiveness might cause them to lose everything.
Besides, Morgott had achieved immortality. With the Three Treasures Integration, James was also immortal now.
Even if the two of them were sucked into the Gate of Mystery, they would only be imprisoned inside that space. In the future, Thea would play the key role of freeing them from the gate.
