By this time, both Sylvie and I kneas responsible for this
“Bairon!” I roared, a my voice withof this?”
A figure rose fro with several soldiers iant armored birds
“You disobey direct orders and run away fro?” Bairon boo mana as well “While my orders remain verbal, I advise you to return to your post, Arthur”
“Verbal?” It was Sylvie that replied, her husky voice laced with anger in her draconic fors at a lance and an asura ?”
There was a moment of hesitation before Bairon answered “We are at war, and your huive the h!” I snapped “You’ve received the updates froed with at the bay are all prisoners of Alacrya We need to reorganize our troops and scout for the enemy’s main force before—”
“Those decisions are up toin closer with his soldiers surrounding him “You were the one that forfeited the burden of responsibility”
I gritted my teeth, frustrated more at myself than at Bairon for all of this It was true that I was the one to run away Even noould hesitate to take a position of leadershi+p, but I couldn’t just stand by while I watched as we played right into Agrona’s hand
“Please stand aside Don’t waste your energy on this and let us go to the Castle I’ll get Commander Virion’s approval as soon as I arrive if that’s what you want,” I said, calo, Sylv”
Thetheir spells as Bairon floated, ai-clad hand directly at us
“I assure you that this one won’t et back to your post”
“What is with you and your brother always resorting to violence?” I spat out, annoyed
With a rage-filled roar, Bairon charged, his entire body engulfed in lightning
Bringing up Lucas ht not have been the smartest choice, but it was too obvious that this show of power had less to do withhe was superior tomyself in mana as well, I utilized the moisture from the clouds below and conjured an arsenal of ice lances
Sylvie unleashed a beam of pure mana from her maw directly at Bairon while I launched the ice-spears at the mounted soldiers
The formation broke easily as Bairon’s soldiers swerved to avoid ainst the wide cone of pure energy, giving us the brief ere looking for
Sylvie Let’s go! I sent toas she flew past me and in a mere second, we flew past Bairon and his soldiers
Just when I thought ould get away, Bairon launched his cape at us It was a ic artifact, no doubt, because the cape soon dispersed into a large net composed of
Human form, now! I ordered
My bond’s body shrunk to that of a little girl just as the net encompassed us
Sylvie iave the other soldiers enough tito deal with the them
‘Are we allowed to hurt the net fro in on us
The mounted soldiers released their spells as well, and their coh to put cracks in my bond’s mana barrier
I nodded Just don’t kill the dozens ofthem at the soldiers while I manipulated the clouds below us
With a wave an ar-charged metal net With Bairon distracted by the mana arrows, his artifact didn’t stand a chance, and the two of us were free
As Sylvie toyed with the soldiers by launching a never-ending assault of mana arrows at them, I conjured a little present for Bairon hi a compressed sphere of wind ina swirling blue fireball the size of Sylvie in her dragon form that crackled with trails of electricity
Bairon retracted his net and was already preparing to defend against ht in the distance attractedas we stared at the source of the red and black blaze miles away We looked at one another in search of so on, until a wave of shock and realization leaked onto me from my bond
I turned to Sylvie to see her eyes wide in horror She turned to me and spoke aloud for everyone to hear “That’s… the Castle”
