BOM! A woman ran away from a fiery explosion in the middle of the city. “God! Save us. The city is burning to the ground!” She looked back, seeing a whole building bursting into flames.
BAM! Arad slid across the street, his feet leaving a trail on the ground as he kept his eyes on Eris. He opened his mouth. ROAR! In an instant, he sent a lighting blast toward her.
“Hehe!” Eris laughed, swinging her spear to the left and deflecting the lightning. “You can’t hurt me with fire or lightning.”
She laughed, and a whole carriage flew toward her, and she swung her spear up and burned the entire thing.
Eris looked toward Arad, seeing him lifting a second Carriage with two hands. “The fuck?” She gasped. She had already guessed he was a strange sorcerer, but where that monstrous strength is coming from?
“GRWA!” Arad shouted as he threw the carriage at her.
“You aren’t a draconic bloodline. Do you have the blood of a fire giant and a lightning one?” Eris smiled, “Good! Good! It’s been a decade since I saw someone as rare as you!” She lifted her spear.
“Come down here!” Arad shouted, glaring at Eris, who stood over a building. ^I don’t want to waste stamina using Action Surge unless I’m sure I will kill her. Should I use my void? No, that isn’t the question.^
Arad cracked his neck. ^The question is how to use it.^ His brain started racing.
^My void can erase things. The simpler they are, the better.^ Arad lifted his hand. ^I can erase air, but not swords since they are denser.^
Swosh. The void slowly built up inside Arad’s palm. ^When a vacuum gets created, air rushes in to fill the gap pulling everything with it.^
Arad lifted his sword with his right hand and slowly lowered his left palm as void engulfed it. ^Just like Amber taught me. Slowly circulate the magic and make a fist, engulfed in the void.^
[Void Fist] Arad created a new spell for himself to use. It was a simple one that he never thought to use directly. Instead of using the void to make fire and cover his fist for [Firefist]
Arad can use the void directly. So he closed his fist.
Eris stared at him with a baffled face, “Magic? Black flames?”
KA-DROM! The void in Arad’s fist expanded, erasing the air around it. Arad then opened his palm. KA-DRAM! With a strange crackle, he activated [Gravity magic] at the same time.
Eris could feel her body getting pulled toward Arad with a violent force. He couldn’t achieve this before, but how could he now?
“No! He’s pulling more than just me.” Eris smiled, lunging toward him. “But how could this help you?”
The moment Eris got in Arad’s striking range, he swung his sword down at her neck.
Eris smiled, spinning her spear. CLANG! She deflected Arad’s strike and swung at his arm. SIZZLE! Eris’s spear cut through Arad’s left arm like butter. She then swings at his right arm, severing it as well.
“Come on! Show me something.” Eris smiled, giggling.
Arad’s eyes flashed purple as he bent back. CRACK! He kicked Eris in the guts, sending her flying into a building.
CRUMBLE! Eris’s body crashed into a wall, ripping it apart. But that wasn’t enough to hurt her. She stood and started at the wounded Arad.
Arad looked at his leg. He was cut from the sole up to the knee.
^Did she blocks my kick with her spear?^ Arad slowly glared at her. He missed two arms, a gaping wound across his chest, and a severely damaged right leg.
“I love seeing a wounded man like you. But you aren’t fun at all.” Eris swung her spear. “Even that badly wounded, you never cry or show emotions. You’re making me want to break you even more.” she smiled.
Arad glared at her, and a dark void engulfed his wounds. She was a problem. CRACK! His arms instantly regrew with blood, and his wounds healed.
Eris face changed from a smile to a sad expression. “Being a vampire is sad. But I’m sure I seared your wounds. So you won’t bleed to death, no, I mean won’t regenerate.”
“I can regenerate however I want. It’s not my problem that you can’t deal with it.” Arad replied, glaring at her.
Eris sighed, “Having the blood of fire and lightning giants. Being a vampire and that strange magic of yours. What the hell are you? A runaway test rat from the mage tower?”
[Arad, we need to run away and regroup with Alcott. You can’t kill her. She’s playing with you.]
^I won’t run away from a fight.^
[You aren’t running away. It’s a tactical retreat. You’re leading your enemy into a trap named Alcott.]
^I see. That makes sense.^ Arad was quick to change his mind.
BOOM! As the two stared at each other. A large building exploded in the distance. Arad and Eris stared at the sky, seeing Alcott’s body flying backward with a skeleton chasing him. 𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Just after them, Arad could see Ginger clashing with a werewolf. ^What happened? Did they find Connor?^
SWOSH! Ginger turned around and saw Arad. She spread her bat wings and flew toward him at an insane speed.
“A vampire lord?” Eris gasped, spreading her purple wings, but Ginger’s foot found her face before she could block. Thud! She hit Eris with a flying kick to the face and sent her flying.
Ginger turned toward Arad, carried him, and flew to the sky. “Hoi! Let me down!” Arad growled.
“We miscalculated a lot. We lost John, and the enemy got an elder lich.” Ginger growled. “You and I are running away while Alcott is stalling them. I will teleport him out with magic once we’re in a safe place.” She explained briefly.
BAM! “Where are you running? Little bat girl.” Connor appeared behind them.
^I’m flying in the sky! Did he jump after us?^ Ginger gasped, seeing his claw racing toward her back. STAB!
Connor’s claw pierced Ginger’s back before Arad could react. But even so, he didn’t stand still. “You!” Arad growled.
CRACK! Arad pulled two fingers and gouged Connor’s eyes out.
As Connor screamed in agony, Arad lifted his fist and punched him on the head with his whole draconic weight, sending him flying to the ground. And he almost broke Ginger’s back in the process.
