Niro the Dragon Hunter .
Delcado was heading the support line with Thoth . Who was hatching a sinister plan . To try to stop them dead in their tracks .
Thoth overviewing the battlefield as one by one the defense line fails . It seemed like he was thinking something .
His eyes seemed overly fixated on McElroy rather than Jay Garrick who was heading the support .
Thoth :
Delcado answer these questions, very sincerely.
What is it that you want to protect ?
Delcado:
I want to protect everything that I have . My home , my people .
Thoth :
Do you think that sacrifices are essential for a victory .
Delcado :
If it's absolutely necessary.
Thoth :
Then I'm sorry I'll be commuting a warcrime .
Thoth :
Lackeys come here .
The 2 lackeys stood before Thoth .
Lackeys :
Yes sir , how can we serve you .
Thoth :
Listen carefully this is what you're going to do .
Lackey 1 :
Is this the right thing to do ?
Lackey 2 :
Isn't it a warcrime ?
Thoth :
Sometimes sacrifices have to be given .
Delcado :
What are you going to do . Thoth
Thoth :
Do you trust me , Delcado as your strategist .
Thoth :
If you've made me your strategist then you must trust me on some degree.
Then you must also trust me in this one .
Lackeys go .
The lackeys ran off to obey whatever their ringmaster wanted them to do .
While returning on the battlefield .
Inside the iron fortress of Jay or just a single wall .With a hole for viewing The Asuras countinuing their March were stopped in the middle .
Jay had somehow lost control of them .
Jay :
Something happened .
McElroy notices quickly that the Asuras were destroyed .
And all the crowd which was distributed was now Concentrated towards Jay .
McElroy:
Jay , I'm getting cornered .
Jay :
Someone destroyed the Asuras mana link.
And it is cutting them repeatedly.
Check who doing this .
Jay was repeatedly trying to make a connection with the
Polished , shiny , reflective , soft , high malleable , highly ductile , durable Asuras.
Jay would send mana through a string or a web .
As the form of mana is formless . It is compressed very easily .
It's just like a remote controlled car with a wire that is directly attached to the car itself .
The remote is Jay meanwhile the Car is the Soldiers .
So if you chop of the wires then you can't get the signal to the car .
And that's what has happened
I'll have to see what is happening myself .
Once again I returned to the battlefield from my support position.Bodies of many mercenaries scattered across the ground . No one dead , but most unconscious and those who were not they were wirhting with pain due to either broken bones or an injury .
One of the mercenaries who was writhing in pain pointed at me and exclaimed " Monster "
And he fell unconscious .
There were other mercenaries who were dragging their bodies off the ground . And when they saw I noticed them
Mercenaries:
Hey man look we aren't even fighting .
I'm just here to get these guys back .
So please spare us.
I just walked past them . And these mercenaries took a breath of relief . And started pulling the bodies off the ground .
After walking 250 meters I reached the defense line . Where McElroy was holding the soldiers back .
I backed up McElroy and told him to take a rest .
McElroy retreated immediately.
McElroy behing was panting but not too heavily .
McElroy controlled his breathing as he tried to decrease his fatigue by increasing his oxygen flow inside the lungs . And it's absorption by the Red Blood Cells.
Meanwhile Jay was bashing mercenaries left and right .
Sending them right to the infirmary without rest .
But unlike McElroy he had magic which could actually cause lethal effects . Fire could cause 1 degree burns to complete incineration .
While for metal if not controlled correctly can directly send you to meet God directly .
The only method is to punch like a Machamp .
It's entry states that . It can throw atleast 1000 punches in per second .
Doni have anything I can use in my inventory.
Paralytic poison .
It seems I have nothing . But it's okay only 36 remain from the defense line .
I used the bracelets Paul lent me . It had a water stone on it .
And I used it to send them flying .
And then knock them out .
And the defense line came to it's last breath . Guy Emerson shot directly at the occipital lobe. It couldn't pierce through
And fell in my hand instead .
I added grooves into the bullet itself which helped it aerodynamically.
And with Guy Emerson looking at me through the scope .
I showed him the bullet and once again sent it back flying through the walls . This time the force I used was a tad bit to much.
It snuck inside the barrel while another shot was firing and the explosion took place resulting in recoil . It broke through the bullet and then the bullet cme out through the stock .
And even pierced the wall behind him .
Guy Emerson looked behind at the wall which the bullet had pierced through . With horror .
His hands were quivering . Guy looked at his hands .
His gun had become entirely unusable .
Guy took a deep breath . Snatched another gun and set up his sights.
Readied another shot but his hands quivered shaking the gun .
And after finishing the last 36 mercs remaining. The defense line had a last man remaining.
He wore an Armor made up of dark blue dragon scales .
He wore a belt which contrasted his Armor .
Black messy hair , dark eyes . Tattooes of dragon on both his hands .
He carried an assortment of weapons , Sais , twin sabers ,
And a longsword .
He had something different about him .
Niro :
You're a dragon hunter.
Jay :
You're a dragon hunter as well .
Jay felt a mighty aura from Niro who had slained many dragons .
Niro :
46 baby dragons , 12 adolescent dragons and 1 adult dragon . You .
Niro seemed proud by his Slayer acheuvements .
Jay :
2 dragons , and 1 Ice dragon .
Niro :
You slayed an Ice dragon. That's not possible they don't exist .
Niro looked closely . He did notice a small wave of chill emitting off him . It was not that noticible .
Niro :
This wave of coldness , coming from you . You're indeed telling truth .
Niro :
Are you a member of the dragon hunters guild .
Jay :
No .
Niro :
Then nevermind . I also sense the same aura from him .
Means you both killed it together .
Niro :
Why you want to destroy these people's homes . What good does it do for you .
Jay :
I have no intention to harm these people whatsoever .
But my hands are tied.
Niro :
I'll be able to hear out your concerns maybe we can find a solution together.
Jay :
I'll keep it very brief .
There's an maniac called X which is stronger than all of the gods both lower and elder gods combined .
He created your lands and now he wants me to destroy your kingdom .
Niro :
Well no-one would just wage a war by themselves so I believe you .
Niro :
Have your ever thought that there could be meanings behind his actions . The one you call X .
Why would he tell you to destroy a kingdom .
Especially this one .
Called a gods paradise on earth .
No corruption . Everything is pure .
No evil lurking around .
Jay :
I tried to find all answers but it just didn't make sense .
Niro :
Even you ambition to not kill anyone is honestly admirable .
What's the count .
Jay :
Zero .
Niro :
This is miraculous how did you manage to do it .
Jay :
It took tedious planning . We had to deal with mercenaries all time . And it also made us feel guilty .
Niro :
I hope no-one ever goes through what you have .
Jay :
Thank you .
Niro :
I knew it no dragon hunter is ever evil .
Jay had a questioned look
Niro :
Let's someday when you have time meet up . I want to introduce you the the guild .
But I fear that day is not today .
Niro removed his twin sabers .
Niro :
Jay Slayer of the ice dragon .
Il will not let you countinue from here .
I will stop you in the path you walk on .
Show me the might of a Dragon Slayer
