Burning Soul

She held no chance if she charged in now, the only way she saw through this was to head back and bring some help over here quickly, but something stopped her from doing so!

…

Milot came in flying towards Clarke, his speed was frantically high

‘Meteor’ A trademark skill of Beastmen!

With that speed and momentum, his sword hit Clarke directly, he had no time to dodge it and had to take it head-on!

“I didn’t say I was done!” Milot was venting his anger off

“Who said I didn’t anticipate it!” His opponent was just as excited as him!

The fierce battle began once again, but this time Milot was keeping up good.

The region of the forest was shaking due to their sparring, his heavy blows were a bit nuisance for Clarke who was a dagger wielder.

For him getting close was the only option.

After defending for a while he got the opening he was waiting for and he didn’t miss it!

Using excellent footwork he managed to close in the gap and began speeding up his slashes,

“This won’t work twice!” Milot who had looked through his move once stepped back keeping a good distance, but he was overwhelmed in an instance when a burst of slashes came striking down on him!

“What the….” This sudden burst caused him to lose his grip on the moment and he lost the advantage he had.

The next burst of slashes completely rendered him offence-less and pushed him in defensive mode.

“Didn’t I say? It’s getting fun!” Clarke gave off a crooked smile as he moved from his place,

He literally vanished from where he stood and appeared right behind Milot,

If he hadn’t trained well, his neck was gone for good. In that split moment, he blocked a trademark skill of Assassins,

‘Beheading’

Milot had blocked his daggers with his bare hands, he had no time to think any better way!

Though it paid him greatly. Clarke gave a smile and pulled his daggers causing a cut to appear on both of his palms.

“Aww, was it too deep!

Umm, I wasn’t really looking! I’m sorry!

Next time I’ll be sure to Cut it through!” He looked down at him while licking his blade.

“Crap!” The sudden surge of pain and uneasy feeling that aroused out of nowhere made Milot curse out loud!

“Ah!

Did no one tell you this,

Never touch the blade of a dagger!”

“Poison!” Milot’s eyes were struck with fear!

“Yeah!

Thanks to my own saliva for being a potent poison.

Don’t worry! You’ll die sooner or later!” Clarke looked at him narrowing his eyes.

The effect of poison started showing up as Milot fell to the ground on his knees/

Looking at him taking such scarry fall Vivian who was holding back for so long felt miserable!

Staying here longer would prove dangerous, his life was now in danger!

.

…

“Hmm, shall I behead you or should I just burn you for good!” Clarke began mocking him

‘Should I even try!’ Vivian was still thinking over her options.

…

In the castle, the giant dragon landed in the main square.

“Someone, go get Duvrion here!” Dimitri commanded as soon as he landed from her back.

Hearing him a few guards came running to him, “My lord, Master Duvrion is attending honoured guests!”

“Did I ask what he is doing?” The guard’s reply didn’t satisfy him but rather angered him for good,

“Hmm,

Fine!

I’ll go get him myself!” Without waiting for a reply he walked straight to the Visiting Chambers where Duvrion was Attending the Guests.

.

Bang!

The door fell to the ground as Dimitri didn’t wait for anyone to open it from inside,

“Oye!

Can you not wait a moment, I’m listening to some important stuff!”

Before Duvrion could speak up Dimitri looked over for the guest and was dumbstruck, “Herald!”

“Greetings, Great ruler of Arnor!”

“Greeting Herald, Only not right now!

Duvrion, get the Royal Chariot, and move your butt we don’t have time, you are coming too!” His command was absolute, and no one held a position to question him,

“You heard the Lord! Get it done!” Duvrion ordered his underlings to get the Royal Chariot!

“I believe it’s about what I was talking about Master Duvrion!” Herald understood the situation right away!

“If it was about some intruders, you are right!” Dimitri answered him.

Listening to him left Herald no reason to sit and relax, after all, he came for a reason!

“Father, why use Royal Chariot, we can just Teleport!” Duvrion asked after thinking a bit,

“Barrier!

If I could open one, I would have done it long ago!

Now move! The intruder already has caused us a lot of damage!” Dimitri looked awfully angry.

“You are coming with us, you’ll be safe!” He took the time to talk to Naomi and Ember while he was at it

“Let’s head out! You know where we are going through?” After reaching the main square Duvrion asked,

“Don’t worry I put up a marker on them!” He seemed to have a way to locate the enemy!

Everyone was gathered in the main square; the Royal Chariot was ready too. The only thing that they needed to wait for was the direction.

“Do the thing!” Duvrion narrowed his eyes,

“You don’t need to tell me!” Saying so Dimitri stomped his staff. A small circle appeared right where he hit the staff,

‘Absolute Dominion!’

A replica of his entire territory appeared there with two dots indicating the positions of both Milot and Duvrion,

“No matter how many times I see this, it never fails to amaze me!” Duvrion wasn’t the most shocked one! The others were also awestruck!

They could see both dots settled at the same point, but weirdly only one showed movement, a bit too much of it!

“This isn’t good, they’ve engaged against the enemy!” Dimitri Recognised the situation right away!

“Herald!

Take the dragon and head there! Something isn’t right, the marker on Milot is showing no movement but the one on the girl is if he’s still and she’s engaged…”

“Damn that brat!” Duvrion was furious after listening to this,

“Got it, But! What dragon!” Herald looked around for one but there wasn’t one!

Ember didn’t take the hint earlier so Dimitri looked at her, “Can you?”

“Uh!

Oh!

Yeah! I can! I can!” She was flustered by sudden events.

“Rest easy, we won’t let anything happen to them,” Herald tried easing her anxiety!

She was rather scared at what was going on, not knowing the enemy, such high profile people gathering, it was a bit too fast going!

.

“Yeah!

I know! She won’t die easy!” Ember still putting up her best expression

‘She’s my rival after all’

After taking a deep breath she transformed back into her dragon form,

Looking at her Herrald couldn’t help but feel awe, “So majestic!”

“Get on her and you’ll understand why Dragons are feared!” Dimitri pushed him

“Let’s go, father!

‘In the name of my authority, thy advent of mine, Aqua Regis!’”

As Duvrion finished the chant a giant Griffin appeared, it was made up of water!

“You are not the only one’s flying here, let’s go!” Dimitri commented to Herald while launching off the Chariot

‘Hang in there!’ Ember looked in the distant forest with a worried look.
