Chapter 23: Connection Shattered

William shivered as he looked back at the city wall The sun beat down on hi the day He turned around, his eyes steely as he studied thesoe

He closed his eyes for a ic: Disturbing Light&8221; A golden beaht blasted out of his eyes and then quickly vanished, spreading an invisible net over everything in his vision He stretched this net as far as he could,to wrap it around the pillar and base of the World Bridge

This spell was like draping a blanket over large area He couldn’t see or hear anything through it, but if there was some type of notable disturbance, like a powerful spell cast, he would instantly feel the ripples through the net

It was a Master Class Spell, and one of only four at that level that he kne to cast Even if he had ht Wizard, he still needed to practice before he could access much of the old y efficient, and he could maintain for several hours, even half a day if he needed to He sat down on the ground outside the wall as he set to wait

He wasn’t sure what he would do if the dragon was unable to escape… but he would do soure out what exactly later

"Oh my-&8221;

"Watch out!&8221;

"Guards! A beast!&8221;

Dorian ignored the burst of screa to the capital, wincing slightly

He’d already past half the enor severalwas a bit out of the way froe was still directly in front of them, purely due to how ot to civilization, the more and roups so far, but his luck had finally faded as the day dreard, and e caravan was currently , paved stone road towards one of the western gates of Yum City They were only four or five miles out, and the city was readily visible

There were around a dozen individual wagons in this caravan, all made from sort of dark red metal The wheels on each caravan were pitch black, and each one was drawn forward by a horse covered in dark blue scales Severalbrown leather arons on sht in Dorian’s opinion, re off in the Old West, albeit with a few fantasy eleh, into the air, flying over one of the wagons and crossing the road

He’d tried to stick to cover as he circled the city, avoiding being out in the open The area in the irassy plains, with a few small forests Farmland only started to appear about a dozen miles out

He had just exited one of the shly two dozen meters away

The caravan had spotted him at the same tiic: Fireball!&8221; One young looking Wizard, wearing a set of loose brown robes, hurled a ball of flames at Dorian’s back as he leapt the caravan, just barelyhim

As a Red Salaed to land, it wouldn’t have done lare, as he escaped past the caravan, running at full speed

The caravan was in disarray, several of the warriors on horseback spreading out Two Wizards were escorting it, both at the Earth Class One a Fire Wizard, and the other a Lightning Wizard

They watched with a sense of loss as the Salamander ran off, unable to make heads or tails of the situation

"There’s a disturbance down off to the side there&8221; The Titan Byrus’ voice was rugged as it stood, floating upon a giant sword His eyes were piercing and alert, however, staring off several iants swords floated in the air, bearing various huroup, a direct subordinate of Eren, and a Grand from a caravan It looks like a Red Salamander, or a Fire Lizard&8221; Mayne’s voice rose into the air as the Grandround, a frown ed, his shoulders rolling back in an odd looking fashion

"Whatever Greta, Nuo check it out and kill it to be safe The rest of you continue to spread out and be on alert Cover the next thirty on Report back if anything odd happens wit-&8221;

The black arirl, Greta, interrupted the Titan

"I’m not under your command, Byrus I’ll check it out , disdain heavy in her voice as she spun around, leaping off the enor a sh the air

Byrus rolled his eyes, and motioned for Nuant witch Just wait till you fall out of his Lordship’s favor…&8221; He shook his head, "Whatever Leave her&8221;

"Keep spreading out, and reen scaled drake is the target&8221;

Dorian’s claws sank into the earth and then propelled hi every bit of momentum he could er than it had previously been, due to the fact that his soul was at the Master Class The stronger his soul, the more powerful his physical forrowth at a lower Class

According to Ausra, the density of his th had now reached just the minimum to be considered a Master Class beast

He ducked under a few branches as he charged back into a shtly as he came under cover, hidden froh a thicket in the midst of the forest, a sort of sixth sense in the back of his head tingled An incredibly odd feeling that he couldn’t quite describe, but one that e to the left

WHOOSH

A split second later a black strearound where he had been, shaped like a spear Itoff an incredibly unsettling feeling

"Oh? You dodged that?&8221; A woht, black leather ar it up She had fine, delicate facial features, with dark blue eyes that glea his body to a stop as he turned to stare at her, on alert As he did so, he felt his Spatial Pouch slide off, landing on the ground behind hihis claws

"What?&8221; Her eyes narrowed for a moment as she looked at the pouch that had fallen off hi her head, herLet’s see you dodge these&8221;

She folded her hands together, and

An instant later, a dozen spearsto aim at Dorian

‘Ausra, what the hell is this?’ He asked, his body treave hiic, focused more on physical combat The woman appears to be a hu in this type of ic’ Ausra’s voice was cool The Genie in his Soul Spell Matrix didn’t have s unrelated to bloodlines, and couldn’t give a more detailed explanation

Before he could ask any more questions, the dozen or so spears of darkness shot forward, rocketing towards his They were directed so that no ed, at least one would sla he could think of, and threw hias shot past hi to hit him However, some of the black miasma from the spears spread into the air as they moved by, and landed on hi of sickness, as if he was about to throw up A terrible headache forhtly blurry

‘Ausra?! How do I shake this? I thought I was i ahead of hi one’ Ausra’s reply was quick

‘How do I break it?’ His reply was equally fast, the entire conversation lasting only a split second

‘For temporary Curses, you need to force the spellcaster unconscious, or e of the attacker For permanent Curses, you will need to kill the Wizard that unleashed the curse or break the Curse directly with another Curse Magic practitioner or some type of healer’

‘What type is this?’ HeThe effects of this Curse were extreh infore’

By the ti to Ausra, Dorian had coas, and was only half a dozen or so ic Wizard

The woman’s lip curled up in a sneer

"Da herself to cast another spell

Ti unnaturally fast, as he realized how dangerous a situation he was in

He could very well die into shudder, the effects of the Curse weakening hied to land on his body… he would probably already be dead

He did the only thing he could think of

His chest swelled up as he ru towards the fereen flareen fla on to the innate barrier Master Class Wizards had Colliding with that barrier at point blank range

And h it

"Draconic Fire?! That’s imposs-&8221; Greta’s last words were cut off, a look of sheer terror appearing on her face, as the flah her barrier, and sla her instantly

A split mo him to his nor and stepping through the green flames as he forced hi of tiredness settled on his shoulders at using the Ability

He froze for aat the corpse of the once beautiful fe with his Lesser Eo out as they ran out of energy They ey within theest superpoas the Borrel Autarchy, controlling a bit est poas the Draconic Tribes Between all 12 Tribes, they controlled roughly 7,900 worlds An enormous number that, while less than their human counterparts, was still massive in scope

One of the key reasons why the Draconic Tribes were so powerful was because of the awe inspiring Abilities that almost all Draconic Bloodlines had

Draconic Fire, in its various iterations, was a particularly well known Ability

All types of Draconic Fire were incredibly potent,all types of Draconic Fire had in coly effective in shredding the innate barriers y that protected Wizards at the Master Class and above

It was because of this that even the most confident of Wizards would learn several defensive spells, especially in situations where they ons from the Draconic Tribes

Dorian took a deep breath, his heart tre as he stared at the body He sed hard, his eyes unwavering

He closed theain

This was the first ti

The abruptness of everything was unsettling, it had happened so fast

He took another deep breath and then let it out He then bowed his head towards the corpse of the wo his jog towards the World Bridge

There was no tiet eht now He could still very well die here

He snagged his Spatial Pouch on the way, deciding to tuck it into his ar it around his ared, and now that he considered it, a wild beast running around with a Spatial Pouch was probably an unusual sight

Dorian then lowered his pace slightly,His eyes were narrowed, and his rie Lord Class Titan Eren felt a tiny signal go off in his mind, as if so up from his constant examination of the world below him, near the capital of the Tandor Eht He didn’t see anything out of the ordinary

He motioned behind him,
