The legendary horse returned in a massive, vibrant red form, but a mysterious ally assisted in the grueling battle. Just as the beast launched a final attack, Aunt Han intervened with a lethal blade. The conflict ended with Dao kneeling before her, leading to a domestic punishment for my character.
After the resurrection, the horse became a lot stronger. A good thing was that another character came to help me in this battle, though I didn't really understand if he was just a mere NPC or a real-life gamer.
Not just stronger, the horse looked bigger than before. It had vibrant red colors all around it that made it look even scarier, but I noticed the other character was helping me significantly during the fight.
After fighting the horse for some time, it started trying high jumps again. This made it difficult to land consistent hits, but we kept trying our best to break its guard and find an opening.
At last, the horse died again, though it was not as hard as I initially thought it would be. I was truly hoping the beast would stay down this time and not come back for a third round.
My hope didn't work well there as the horse jumped again for a surprise strike. Suddenly, someone threw a blade right through the throat of the horse and made sure it stayed dead for good.
My character looked behind and noticed the savior was no other than Aunt Han. He was completely surprised to see her standing there after searching for her through the entire enemy perimeter.
Dao was still fighting those enemies outside the perimeter while we dealt with the horse. Han decided to finish the battle once and for all, stepping forward with a determined look on her face, and blades in her palm.
Han threw several blades toward those enemies and killed all the remaining ones at once. She went close to Dao, and I was shocked to see him kneeling before her in a sign of respect.
Seeing Dao kneeling before Han, my character became very confused. It was clear at that moment that they already knew each other, which changed everything I thought I knew about the situation.
The next scene showed Aunt Han giving my character a lot of chores as a punishment for his reckless behavior. Even little Ruby didn't come to save me this time, which was quite funny.
That's all for now.
