Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

"Who said you are in a position to negotiate? You be a good lad and go inside the lake, or else I will give the signal to those barbaric to kill him now!"

Arthur's eyes were so cold as they showed his determination as he said:

"If you don't give him to me at the lake, I won't step a single foot there. go ahead and kill him, and let's see how your treacherous master would escape this treason, or even protect you and your family from the clan head's ruthless retaliation!"

"Don't try and threaten me with empty words, I won't give you him and you will have to go inside the lake to secure his safety!" the leader bellowed again, but Arthur didn't continue this useless argument as he looked to Noura and others while ordering with a very loud tone:

"The Nystic clan members are treacherous, selling their own kin for their enemies. let's go and seek another worthy clan here!"

His sound was really loud, and they weren't that far from the clans up ahead, and so his words managed to attract many eyes to this place. a group of flying mages coming here wasn't a rare scene at all, but the words of Arthur were indeed worthy of attention.

"What are you trying to pull here?" the face of this leader suddenly changed, as he realized what Arthur was planning to do, "are you trying to kill your friend?"

"If he is going to die anyway, why should I bother caring about his life then?" Arthur simply replied, before he loudly shouted:

"Let's go boys, let's find some other trustworthy clan for us!"

He then patted on Ron's shoulders, and nodded to Noura, who led them all in the charge, flying to another direction, the direction that made the leader quite startled!

They headed straight towards those assassins!

The distance between the two wasn't that big to start with, and when they moved from their high altitude, they went directly towards them, falling from the sky towards the assassins on the ground, like arrows launched from their bowstrings!

This sudden development startled everyone, and when the falcons and the assassins reacted, Arthur and his mages were already upon the latter!

The sudden change in events made everything that traitor and his minions plans fail! Arthur didn't wait for his enemies to reorganize their lines, as he took the sword he had from Tenshi and pointed its sharp edge towards the upfront assassins as he shouted:

"Kill them all!"

He took out a huge amount of explosive ores and left them on the back of Ron's pet, before leaving one fire pit there for his use. He was the first to act though, as he jumped off the back of Ron's pet, summoned his scorpion queen in the middle of those assassins, and used his leg technique to jump swiftly around the place, landing directly on the back of the unconscious Rayan, while his sword plunged into the body of one assassin.

The moment the sword penetrated that assassin's body, a hissing was strangely heard as all the blood inside that mage's body was absorbed successfully by it!

Arthur was speechless, as he glanced shortly towards his sword, before smiling in content. "So you like to absorb blood then?"

The sword, strangely, vibrated a little, making the smile on Arthur's face grew wider, as he nodded while saying:

"Great, I will make you drink to your heart's content!"

The second one to jump was Iman, who just used her inner demon, forming a big shadow of a human mouth with two sharp fangs, which she inserted deeply into the chest of one mage.

Others started to jump, summoning their pets, using their inner demons, killing a decent number of these assassins in this simple exchange.

They had the upper hand now, benefitting from the element of surprise they had, but Arthur knew this wouldn't last for long.

Neither were these assassins, nor the rear falcons an easy target to deal with! Besides, Arthur knew he was now in the middle of these two intimidating forces, and that would endanger his mages if those treacherous falcons decided to do a pincer attack.

So, he just grabbed the unconscious Rayan, jumped to the air, using his leg technique swiftly, while shouting amidst the sounds of the ongoing battle:

"Retreat!"

His words were strange, but his mages didn't dare to disobey his orders, as they disengaged from their enemies at once, unsummoned their pets, and summoned their flying ones, to soar the sky rapidly, heading far away from here.

"Use the explosive ores, now!"

The moment Arthur saw his mages were about to break away from the ground, he didn't wait to reach Ron's pet as he shouted at him. Ron responded in action, as he swiftly ignited all the ores, threw them over the ground, causing a violent mighty wave of explosions all of sudden, covering up the retreat of Arthur's mages.

The rescue mission was done brilliantly, and swiftly even though the nearby falcon legion didn't have time to join the battle, despite them flying hot on their tail!

However, the sudden wave of explosions created a large long wall of fire, dust, and smoke, making all of them halt in their tracks, all except their leader, who darted inside that huge mess, swearing to kill Arthur with his two hands from his extreme rage and humiliation he was feeling right now!

Arthur, this mere weak young mage had managed to play him twice in a row, something no other mage had managed to pull before along his entire life!

Arthur noticed him, but he didn't give heed to his approaching speed, as he suddenly shouted:

"Change route, let's pick up speed and head towards these flags!"

He pointed towards the direction of the Nystic clan camp. The moment he gave his orders and direction, his mages changed course at once, heading straight towards the distant Nystic clan's camp!
