The Deadly Assassin Robin novel Chapter 1199

"My goodness, what's going on?" Jessiah was almost losing his mind.

Tiago was even more stunned, shaking all over. "I can't believe it, the essence stone!"

In front of Robin, the white dragon was sitting cross-legged.

As it slowly moved toward Robin, it opened its mouth to reveal a fist-sized essence stone.

Suddenly, the icy cave lit up with a dazzling light!

The freezing cave temperature began to rise.

The ice around started melting slowly.

Thousands of droplets from the melted ice pooled around the slab where Robin was lying.

The dripping water emitted colorful mist, looking ethereal and almost out of this world.

Tiago and Jessiah were in awe.

This was the legendary essence stone, rumored to hold the power of the universe!

A divine stone, crafted over billions of years by the essence of the sun and moon.

And it had been hidden in the mouth of this white dragon the whole time.

For years, martial arts masters on this planet had dreamed of finding it.

With the essence stone, one could reach the pinnacle of power.

Yet, it had not been seen for over a hundred years.

Now, right before them, it was a reality.

As they basked in the energy from the essence stone, they felt revitalized and powerful, their strength increasing!

Jessiah tried hard to keep his emotions in check, whispering, "Tiago, we've waited 50 years for a shot at the top of the world!

"This chance is right before us, we can't let it slip away!"

Tiago watched the white dragon move closer to Robin, torn. "But the stone is in the dragon's mouth. How can we possibly take it with our own strength?"

Jessiah's excitement was palpable.

With the stone and the ancient artifact, he could become a god in this world.

"Tiago, my time is running out. If I don't seize the stone now, I'll age rapidly!

"I can't leave like this; I want more time!" Jerome's voice was filled with desperation.

"Everyone thinks we're the grandmasters of our time, the peak of martial arts.

"But deep down, we know we haven't truly reached that peak.

"Compared to legends like Dragon Slayer, Young Lord Dragon, Elijah, and even the young prodigy known as Divine Drakebane, we're still novices!

"I want to touch the true pinnacle before I go!

"We've waited 50 years for a moment like this, for a chance at transcendence!"

Tiago's face reddened, and his breath quickened, clearly moved by Jerome's impassioned plea.

The journey to the peak is full of loneliness, isolation, suppression, mockery, and countless schemes.

No matter how many times you fall and get back up, the chances for real success are slim.

Miss it, and it is gone forever.

He calmed himself and whispered, "Jerome, have you thought this through? Trying to take the essence stone from the white dragon might be lethal!

"Without our lives, we'll remain stuck at this level, never reaching the top."

Jerome laughed lightly. "We're stuck at this level anyway. Why not take the chance? There might still be hope.

"The two of us might not defeat the white dragon alone!

"But with the essence stone, we could finally achieve our dreams."

Tiago nodded. "Alright, let's do this! You distract the white dragon, and I'll take down the Divine Drakebane."

"Take down the Divine Drakebane?" Jerome was taken aback.

Tiago eyed the dagger in Robin's grasp greedily. "I need to defeat him to claim the ancient relic. With it, I might stand a chance against the white dragon and secure the essence stone."

"Tiago!" Jerome gestured urgently towards the white dragon, his face a mask of fear.

What is the white dragon planning?

Could it be planning to devour the Divine Drakebane?

Every meridian, every blood vessel surged with vitality like vibrant rivers.

His dark, sluggish blood, upon absorbing the light from the essence stone, visibly regained life.

His internal organs, previously damaged by the bullets, began to heal rapidly.

Within minutes, all of Robin's bodily injuries miraculously healed.

The extraordinary scene unfolding left both Tiago and Jessiah speechless.

This was indeed the legendary stone imbued with cosmic power!

It represented the genesis of the universe, the primal essence that birthed all existence!

The white dragon was using it to heal the Divine Drakebane!

Could it be that the Dragon Slayer had formed a bond with this white dragon during his half-year slumber under the Snow Dragon Pool?

"Tiago, we can't wait any longer," Jessiah said urgently.

"If the Divine Drakebane fully recovers, grabbing the ancient relic and the essence stone will be the least of our problems.

"We might not even make it out alive."

Tiago nodded. "All right! Jessiah, distract the white dragon. I need just a second to take down Divine Drakebane.

"Decapitate him. Even if the dragon's stone can heal him, it can't regrow his head!"

"Tiago, this is our chance!" Jessiah pointed to the tail of the white dragon, which was bloodied red.

It was clear that during the missile strike at Snow Dragon Pool, the white dragon had been injured while shielding Robin.

"Look, the white dragon can't move well now! It's the perfect time to take out the Divine Drakebane!"

Jessiah charged at the white dragon.

The white dragon, sensing the threat, surged up and barreled towards Jessiah.

Seizing the moment, Tiago dashed towards Robin, his long knife raised high, ready to strike down at his neck!

Swinging his long knife, he fiercely chopped down towards his neck!
