Chapter 92 - The Clash Of The Dragons Part 2
A large figure flew past the buildings and dove straight into the street where beams from Lilith's attacks were lighting the area.
"Let's go!" Lance yelled.
Him, along with his teammates, the dragons, and all the Sacred-tier Adventurers dashed to where Clan was. A loud roar shook the ground as two dragons emerged, flying and clashing in the air.
An old man with a broken staff tapped his weapon on the ground three times. A large green magic circle appeared under all the Adventurers as the man chanted unfamiliar words under his breath.
"Gravity Zero."
Elliot felt his body levitating. He panicked at first but realized it was the man's magic. Only a few hovered over the ground after the magic circle vanished.
"That's the Top 7 Adventurer of Avancia!"
"We're rooting for you Pommel!"
"Pommel is really strong!"
"But he's rather old."
…
There were talks that raved the Adventurers as they struggled on floating.
"Everyone, I could only take those with immense magic power among us," Pommel said. "I cannot guarantee the others' safety, so you guard the ground and prepare for backup."
His voice was stern and would make anyone follow him. It was like leadership was in his blood.
"Yes, sir!" Everyone responded as they tried to fly into the clashing dragons.
"This will take us forever." A woman who was carrying a wand raised her wand and waved it, "Memory Relay."
The tip of her wand glowed with a dull gold color. It sparked and flashes of dull gold light dashed through everyone's head, everytime it passes someone, a memory was implanted in their minds.
"The Maiden of Memories, Sittie!"
"She's from the Guided Honor Guild, right?"
"I'm so glad the Top 3 Guild is in Avancia!"
…
Once again, the Adventurers filled the air with their praises.
Elliot was focusing his mind to recollect the information on the memory that was passed onto him.
Pommel and Sittie are from the same guild. This meant that Sittie has been trained to control the levitation magic of Pommel. Her magic allowed her to pass onto that memory into everyone that were chosen.
"Straighten the leg and, oop!" He dashes upwards and curled into a fetal position, stopping him from advancing further. "Okay, I'm getting the hang of this."
"Blazing Inferno!" Connor yelled from above him, crossing his sword and his staff as he conjured a burst of flames into Clan. The flames had faces on them, faces that made Elliot's body shiver.
"Weird," he said as he balanced himself in the air. "Connor, how could you float so well?"
Connor pursed his lips and pointed them below him where flames had covered his shoes. "Flame affinity."
"What a cheat," Elliot retorted and waited for Ed. "Ed, shoot me."
Ed nodded and positioned himself, holding his sword with both his hands like a baseball. He prepared for when Elliot would land on his sword so he could swing it and shoot Elliot towards the direction of Clan.
"Ready!" Ed yelled. Elliot flipped, using the bottom of Connors shoes to bolt towards Ed's sword. When he did, he flipped again and waited for his friend to swing the sword.
"Hasty Aspire!"
Ed swung his sword and launched Elliot. The latter raised his sword in front of him, pointing at Clan who was almost overpowering Hope.
Lance, who was below him, had wrapped his ropes around Elliot's waist and pulled him away.
"Lance, what the hell?" Elliot growled.
"What if you hit Hope?" Lance scolded. "Your trajectory is a straight line, you cannot control your movements while you're dashing. Who do you think you'll hit once they switch positions, huh?"
"I-I–" Elliot stuttered. "I'm sorry."
"You should be," Lance said and dismissed their conversation by flying closer to the fighting dragons and conjuring black and white crosses made of his aura. "Bishop's Blessed Rain."
The crosses fired at the dragons, seemingly being controlled by Lance. He focused himself on hitting Clan, but his attacks wouldn't get past its thick skin.
The other Adventurers couldn't even get close to the two, fearing for their lives.
"Cowards!" Lance yelled and flew towards Hope.
"My spell will end in 10 minutes!" Pommel said. "I need to let go of some Adventurers so I could maintin this spell for long."
After seeing how a Level 100's attack did against the dragon, more than half the Adventurers volunteered to go down.
"He could kill Cannibals who were also Level 100, but he couldn't even penetrate the dragon."
"What can we do when even a guild's vice captain is powerless against the dragon?"
"I don't wanna die, man."
…
Pommel had no choice but to let some go back down. He sighed and uncasted his spell at some people, diverting his mana on the ones who stayed.
"I shall conquer that Dragon!" A thin woman said confidently as she raised her metal gloves hands and bolted towards Clan with Lance. "Ultra Enhance: Full Body Gawk!"
She trembled for a second before her thin body puffed into a buffed one. She grit her teeth and curled into a fetal position, jolting her body open like a flying squirrel.
"Way to go Mathilda!"
"That's the Beast Woman of the West!"
"We're gonna win!"
…
Clan notices this and smirked, raising his claws to suppress Hope. He raised his muzzle and snapped his fangs around Matilda's legs in under a second's time, amputating the girl.
Hope growled and pushed Clan away with his talons, backing away and started to open his mouth, a sphere of intense gray energy forming in front of it.
'Beam of the Supreme Emperor Dragon!'
Clan smirked and gathered energy in his mouth as well. He roared and made Hope's attack shook and vanish into thin air, making the younger boy widen his eyes in shock.
"You are still young," Clan said, reverting into his human form. "You don't even know why you could turn human, or how it happened."
"You don't know anything!" Hope yelled, slowly shifting into his human form too.
"Let me tell you a story about how I turned into a human 100 years–"
"Like I'd care!" Hope yelled, appearing in front if Clan with his hands shifted into dragon claws. He swiped the man's face, successfully wounding it. "Anything you say is trash to me. You're not my father! I refuse to become a father of a Cannibal and a murderer!"
"You don't even know who the villains are!" Clan yelled.
Hope froze after feeling the other dragons surround him.
"You're so gullible, little one. The Supreme Dragon Emperor rules over his kind. His words are Pure Law, and law is unbreakable," Clan smirked. "Catch him, but don't kill him."
"W-What?"
He looked at the dragons in the eyes and saw nothing there, only empty shells. As if he was staring into space.
"Oh, son," Clan chuckled, slowly shaking his head in amusement. "Let your father teach you a lesson."
"You're just a cu*k!" An old man's voice yelled and slammed against Florian's head, the green dragon roared in pain as the figure leaped and landed into the other dragons' heads.
The figure sighed and floated in front of Clan. "How dare you. You don't think I haven't noticed how you watch over your brother and his wife's relationship from the beginning? And you actually killed your brother and stole his wife. Cu*k!"
"F-Father…"
"Shut up, cu*k!"
'Cataclysmic Malice detected.'
