172 Back at Slyvian
Arthur teleported away from the arena toward the direction his squad went. His team’s speed was quite good, but it was a joke compared to his.
Within three minutes, he had caught up with them.
“Akhur! Are you all right?” Siora said.
“I am fine, and you?” Arthur said, directing his question to all of them.
pan-da-n0vel.com “We are fine, but we need to hurry now. There is no way they will let us off that easily.” Laeroth said.
Everyone knew that the dark races would not let them off and chase them, but not permanently. The damage Arthur caused to them was massive, and the remaining general in the area would send someone to the dark lands to get back up. This meant they would remain in the castle for some time, as leaving it empty would only make the humans easily take control of it.
Arthur and his team had a massive advantage in the distance; all they had to do was keep running, and the dark races would not catch up with them.
The other fighters that came with them parted ways after they reached the forest, and Arthur did not sense that someone was following them, which was nice.
“Now all we have to do is return and prepare an attack at these bastards,” Folen said.
They saw that the dark races did not have that many of them inside Drakonia city, which meant it was the best time to go and try to conquer it completely.
If they allowed them to get reinforcements, their task would get immensely more complicated. So, their best decision would be to return to Slyvian and get the army ready to attack, while the dark races did not recover completely.
For that reason, Arthur and his team used their top speed, not resting a second, rushing towards the capital. They went for four days straight without resting and sleeping. When they reached the capital, Siora, Folen, and Laeroth could not take it anymore and found a room inside the palace to rest for at least 24 hours.
Unlike them, Arthur was fine; all he needed was something to eat; then, he would be back at his one hundred percent.
Merethyl asked to talk with him when he arrived in the city, and Arthur agreed.
They were inside the same room they had used for meetings, where Arthur explained everything that happened in Drakonia and his fight with the generals.
“You killed Serana? Good job. She is troublesome, and without her, the strength of our enemy is greatly reduced.”
“You should rest, I will prepare our army for the attack, and all the humans from the Dragon Scale Empire will take back their city.”
Arthur nodded, leaving the room. The moment he returned to one of the main halls of the palace, Eleonora was there and went to hug him.
“Are you all right?”
The two perfect rounded soft boobs of hers pressed at Arthur’s chest, and his firm will come to play, returning him to reality.
“I am, and you? How is your time here in the palace?”
Eleonora stopped hugging him and said, “everything is good. The elves are gentle with everyone, though they treat me even better. Did you threaten them to do it?”
“Hahaha, of course not. I just let them know you are someone important to me, that is all.”
When she heard that, her cheeks went red, and she found some excuse to leave.
“N-now that I saw you are okay, I will return to my doings, b-bye!”
“Bye.”
Arthur was not lying when he said she was important to him. Almost all dragons were dead, and she was still a dragon despite being a half-dragon.
He would protect her with everything he got and would try his best to find her father, Nefion, who was also someone that helped Arthur back then when he needed it.
After that encounter, Arthur returned to the city area where all the students and his wives were. It was a vivid place, with youths practicing magic and people training melee combat.
“Kai, you seem to have improved.”
“Master.” Kai bowed the moment he saw Arthur.
Kai was getting stronger quickly, but no matter what he did, he could never reach the same level as his master. His respect for Arthur increased in his heart, reaching unimaginable heights.
Arthur had given him a few new wyvern abilities from his mysterious book some time ago, but it seemed Kai was not yet proficient in those. It was understandable, considering he started to practice it only a few days ago, and the skills would get more challenging as their level of strength progressed.
Jane, Wisa, and Harmony seemed occupied with the students, so Arthur opted not to interrupt them for the time being.
“Kai, want some sparring?”
~~~~
Kai had a water spear in his hands, two water wings on his back, and a full armor made of water essence.
These elementary water skills from wyverns were aimed to create reliable equipment for combat, better than most of the things one could find in armor shops and old ruins.
On the other hand, Arthur was not using any skill or weapon. He wanted to see how much his body strength had progressed these days.
Bill, Arthur’s friend, was also learning magic with the other students, but he was in his resting time, so he decided to take a look at Kai’s and Arthur’s fight.
“Hey, Bill. I want to talk with you later, don’t vanish.” Arthur yelled as he gazed at Bill, who was sitting nearby.
The atmosphere became quieter as both Arthur and Kai focused on their combat. Arthur just stood there, waiting for his disciple to go and show how much his skills had progressed.
Kai knew that, so he dashed towards Arthur at a fast speed. With the aid of his wings, it was so fast that Bill could not see the movements.
“That is impressive. Is Kai’s strength getting close to his master, or maybe he had surpassed it?” Bill thought.
All these thoughts were crushed when Bill noticed that no matter what Kai did, he could not lay a single attack on Arthur…
