Chapter 13: Godly Dragon
Gaia stood still, her head tilting to the side as she looked at the odd, tiny green dragon standing at the center of the valley Her hand lay resting on her Blood Wolf, stroking his shoulder softly
She turned around and looked at Brutus
She then turned and looked back at Dorian
And then back at Brutus
And then back at Dorian
"That is one of the beings that has twisted Fate? That caused Highlord Marcus to send out a hunting order?&8221; Gaia’s statement was more of a question, her voice filled with incredulity as she kept stroking Salum’s shoulder
"If the wolf led us here, that sounds like a safe guess&8221; Brutus responded, staring at the son with a bored look Even from this distance, he could feel that it was a weak creature He could probably defeat it with a single blow, unless it was hiding so a deer over a fire?&8221; Her voice was deadpan, almost emotionless Her eyes, however, were corunted, supre?&8221; She continued, her eyes locked onto the sh the valley, joyfully spreading his love of West Virginia
"Yep&8221; Brutus replied, rubbing his chin
"And now… it’s dancing?&8221; Gaia blinked, and then looked down at her hands, pinching herself
"Energetic little fella&8221; Brutus shrugged
Gaia turned and glared at hi her eyes in annoyance, "Would it kill you to show interest in anything?&8221;
Brutus gave her a grin, showing the white of his pointed, vampiric teeth
"I have quite a few interests What would you care to learn about?&8221; He was about to continue, giving her a leer filled grin, but abruptly grew co to the north
Gaia froze as well, turning her head to the opposite side of the valley, her eyes narrowing
"Humans&8221;
"It’s so tasty!&8221; Dorian did a little happy dance, his tiny dragon feet pitter-pattering as he ran around the fire in happiness Every little thing, even the so of his worries the other night
He was currently h It waswith juices The flavors rolled over his tongue as he sank his teeth into theood!&8221; Tears of joy ca tiood as this Even when he was eating other beasts as a Red Salamander, where his taste buds had adapted for raw hted in blood, there was a certain mental limit Dorian placed
As someone with a hu raw blood and h… it ell cooked… juicy and delicious… the greatest thing he had eaten since he came to exist in this world
Dorian looked up at the sky and then at the deer that was still roasting on the spit He bowed slightly, showing his respect
It was right after, however, that he noted the presence of several huo on alert
"Hey little guy!&8221; Oblonghis voice and tone down
After observing the son, he could tell it wasn’t very powerful Wizards were very sensitive to the strength of other beings, and could usually tell if a being had a stronger Soul Spell Matrix than thelea Fro for a dragon, though his spell results had thrown hion was either a relatively small nue, his spell couldn’t seeht, shaking his head in exasperation Any spell that tried to unravel Fate was bound to be difficult to understand, especially the less infor
Still, the beast before theic indicated that Fate around it isted It was the target they were looking for
He esture, indicating for the guards to step forward and start to encircle the dragon They couldn’t have it escaping
Graxital kept a close watch on the beast, his hands behind his back gathering a sy
The Royal Wizard Ay at the back of the group He didn’t see about the appearance of the beast before hi that came from experience
"Just relax, we’re just here to co nonsense, focusing on his tone No one here was fluent in Draconic, and while whatever the dragon wyr wasn’t in Draconic, it certainly wasn’t in a language he understood
The sh to itshu to tre his eyes to the side briefly The young Wood Magic Wizard had proven adaptable and cal had been quite impressed with his perforic was truly a versatile and useful type of ic
Williaht drop of sweat rolled down his forehead as he concentrated, not letting hi in on seeic: Seali-&8221;
"WATCH OUT!&8221; Graxital’s normally quiet voice shook the valley as he abruptly yelled out loud, interrupting William
‘Crap’ Dorian split into panic as he saw the approaching hu up He had no idea what to do Should he run? He held the roasted deer thigh in his hand, alan to pound, causing him to tremble hatever the draconic equivalent of adrenaline was
As he was now, in his baby dragon forh In addition, he recognized one of the humans here It was the same human that had tried to attack hiave the huuy!&8221; One of the hues Dorian no, Co a set of loose blue robes, with a poor attempt at a friendly look on his face Theblack armor started to surround Dorian
"Just relax, we’re just here to come talk Let’s be friends!&8221;
Dorian mentally rolled his eyes at the man’s words, despite his heart full of panic
‘Sure you are, buddy’ He thought, his eyes darting from side to side
He felt oddly threatened by the hu hiot, the closer the robed er that sense was
‘Can I run?’ Dorian’s eyes darted to the side, his body tensing The warriors in black armor, however, seemed to more faroff most escape routes By the time Dorian tried to flee, he felt as if they would instantly catch up with hilinted as he forced hi the situation It seemed he would need to rely on the Aura stored by his Soul Spell Matrix in his Soul
The Wizard he had seen before stepped forward,
"Wood Magic: Seali-&8221;
"WATCH OUT!&8221;
He was just about to draw on that Aura when a s into several of the warriors that were surrounding hiht and left were thrown backwards as what appeared to be a severalthe him as the scene around hiic! It’s some damned Nobles! Look alive!&8221; Graxital yelled out loud, launching the ball of Black Lightning he had formed earlier forward, towards a spot on the opposite side of the clearing
A pair of tall oak trees exploded into wooden shrapnel as his attack sla a sether and then raised the!&8221; Overhead, nearly a thousand y for to rotate Gradually, nearly clouds beca oy surrounded Graxital, shivering around hi as he created a transparent Spatial Barrier that surrounded his body, protecting hi their names aloud was an extree afterone specific spell
Oblong gave hi a Spatial Barrier to protect only himself… It wasn’t exactly unexpected, since they weren’t co of him either Your own personal safety as a wizard was paramount, and even Department Wizards couldn’t force other wizards to do what they said, not if they were of equal or greater strength under the laws of the Borrel Autarchy
But it still annoyed hirunted and held his hands out in front of hi into play as he reen glow briefly surrounded hi red blood shot forward, targeting the wizards at the base of the group, ignoring the scattered and wounded warriors These arrows hurtled forward at breakneck speed, carrying a deadly strength
Only a few blood arroent towards the Royal Wizard, and all of thele arrow that went towards Oblong seemed to just barely miss him, entirely by lucky chance
The arrows that tried to slam into Graxital shriveled as they ca to do any hare here
He was knocked backwards off his feet, sla cursed
The difference between a Master Class and a Sky Class Wizard wasn’t just in their concentration of energy
Once any Wizard reached the Master Class, their Soul Spell Matrix transfor them a powerful innate barrier This barrier would be active at all tiy when an attack landed on it
The barrier itself used a huge ay, and was inefficient co this protective barrier was a huge safeguard against surprise attacks, or physical attacks
William, unfortunately, had no such barrier, and either wasn’t experienced enough or strong enough to raise a powerful protective spell in time
The bastard son of an important family looked down at his body as he crashed into a set of trees hard, feeling his ribs and legs fracture Two enormous holes could be seen, one in the lower portion of his chest, and one on his hip, holes that coh bone and flesh Not a trace of blood could be seen in these wounds
His lips turned pale as he was overwhelers, stuttering out,
"Wood Magic: Great El Branches&8221;
Shortly after, he collapsed, his body going into shock at the horrendous wounds, falling unconscious Around hian to cover his body in a cocoon
AOne enorauntlets on his hands and ar set of black leather arrey skin tone, and an aura of blood surrounded both
"Da his hands before hi in his continued dispassion, not even trying to help Oblong could even sense hiic He ain
"This is huht to be here Leave i for tied up his spell
Vampire Nobles, or Nobles as they were oft called, were one of the contenders for dominance in the 30,000 Worlds While the Borrel Autrachy controlled more than 10,000 Worlds, the three Vampire Families controlled only 91 Worlds
That wasn’t because they eak Far frohlords at the helm of each Vampire Fa Tel the two figures before hihlords could only contend Even if all three worked together, they would be unable to defeat Telht
The Nobles see in the worlds they had already conquered, ruling them as they saw fit Thus, the Autrachy and the Noble Families didn’t collide too often, not after the Autrachy learned which worlds they controlled Even the weakest Vath to an Earth Class beast, after all, far surpassing the weakest huer problems to focus on, like the Draconic Tribes or the Graal alliance
Oblong shook the stray thoughts from hishimself to react There was no chance these tere here by chance They must be after the disturbance in fate too
"Leave?&8221; The wolee in it The big brute of a rin that showed his pointed teeth
"Why would we leave after finding such delightful food! Salum! Come!&8221; She clapped her hands with a war Blood Wolf appeared, sto’s eyes widened as he saw it, and he cursed yet again He swiftly began planning a withdrawal route in case Graxital was unable to handle them
The female Noble before him must be at the peak of the Grandmaster Class, at minimum, to have such an enorenerative skills, innate access to powerful Blood Magic with experience that far outstripped even the most skilled huth
Oblong clenched his fists in rage, his eyes turning bloodshot and the fat on his body tre He’d come all this way, and even found the disturbance in Fate, the sht lose out to a pair of deviled bloodsuckers
At this thought, Oblong shifted his eyes to the ground between the varound in fear
No, not on the ground in fear, Oblong observed in that split second The dragon was, oddly enough, leaning forith its chest puffed out, as if it was about to yell, its body tre in the valley froze coan to tremble, Master Class beasts on distant , Grand, battle, or rest freezing in terror, their eyes widening in horror
For at that ly threatening that the air itself see, reen-scaled dragon, as if he was a end
