Chapter 247: The Gray-robed Fire Guardian

"Rod!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison. Captain O'Hara was the first to react, leaping forward to block the second strike from the shadowy figure.

Molly's mist quickly enveloped Rod, pulling him away from the danger zone.

Anna burst into a purple mist, transforming into a fully armored centaur.

With a leap, she picked up Rod onto her back. With a kick of her front hoofs, she flipped and leapt out of the building in two steps.

Behind them, O'Hara, Conrad, and Beowood were already clashing with the grey shadow.

Anna urgently asked, "Molly, how is Rod's injury?"

Molly's calm voice came through the mist.

"The blade has pierced his right lung. There's no corruption, no curse."

A bottle of Blood Element flew out from Rod's body, pouring into his mouth under the guidance of the mist.

The blood's liquid form evaporated upon entry, turning into red steam that diffused into Rod's body, healing his wound at a visibly fast rate.
