35 Enigma (2/2)

Ralf, who was praying to the mighty Rayvus to end his suffering, was beginning to think he might have to cut his own tail. Needless to say, he was ecstatic when the human finally released him. He quickly stabilized himself in the air and didn't waste any time to turn around and fly towards the city at the fastest speed.

”Look, you scared him, he running now.” Hope pointed towards Ralf who was getting further and further by the second. ”Come on dummy, stop him, we need to get more data on the duality path.”

Koren disappeared from his original location, his figure blasting through the air, and fast approaching the fleeing Raavi.

Ralf turned his head back to see the smiling figure approaching him at a leisurely pace.

'I… I can't run. Just what is this monster' Ralf's brain was working overtime, trying to find a way out of this situation. 'That draconian, and now this human, If I can bring this information to the Emperor, I will have the opportunity to rise, but if I die here…”

Ralf clenched his teeth and came to a stop.

Koren was surprised and came to a stop just a few meters from Ralf. He was about to increase his speed to catch up, and didn't expect the Raavi to stop on his own accord.

”Wha…What do you want.” Ralf muttered, his whole body trembling with fear. ”If you kill me, then all the humans who live in the Empire will suffer. I don't feel any essence from you, I know you are not from the Icy Mountains, let me go and we can come to an agreement, I am very wealthy, my family will give you whatever you want.”

Koren looked on as the Raavi tried to offer him all sorts of benefits, and smirked.

”Attack me” He roared, his overpowering voice immediately silenced the rambling Raavi.

”Wha… What” Ralf muttered, unable to believe what the human just said.

”I said, ATTACK ME.” Koren said in an impatient tone. ”Attack me with your strongest move, and I will let you go.”

Ralf staggered in the air, his breathing was getting heavy, sweat was dripping down from his chin.

'This lunatic wants me to attack him!!' Ralf thought. 'I am Ralf Arvo, a general of the Raavi Empire. If I can't even hurt him a little, then what the hell have I been doing my whole life.”

Without saying another word, Ralf started to gather his mental power, veins started to popup on his forehead. His soul stone started to give off a brilliant light blue gleam as the several glass swords started to form around him.

”Interesting, this guy seems to be using some sort of telekinetic ability. The air molecules are being compressed and held together by a force field of some sort. Once those swords come into contact with an enemy they will not only do piercing damage, but also explode as the air pressure is already unstable.” Hope's eyes were fixated on Ralf, her inquisitive glare able to see all of his moves with absolute attention. ” That glowing thing between his brows seems to be the center of his telekinetic abilities, so interesting. But he is so unfortunate, the Godless also had such abilities, that's why the Guardian Armor has tech incorporated into it that makes it essentially 'invisible' to such skills. However, the bursting damage might throw you off a bit.”

”Its fine Big sis, right now I feel like I could take ten of him.” Koren exclaimed with gusto, his breathing starting to get heavy.

”Koren the Armor is powerful, but its not your power.” Hope emphasized. ”You fused with the Dimensional Core, you were born to become a Path Walker, but don't get ahead of yourself, you are still a kid.”

”I know sis, I know. It's the Armor, every time I 'Grow Up', I feel different.” Koren said, reassuringly. ”It's like I can do anything. Thanks for reminding me Big sis, that I'm still 9, not 20.”

While Koren was talking with hope, his outer gaze was still fixated on the Raavi and the intense mental fluctuation around him.

Ralf looked at the Human and his fixated look, he had poured every ounce of mental power into this attack.

'This has to do some damage, this guy can't possibly be that strong.' Ralf Thought. 'He's not putting up any spiritual defense, does he think he can take this head on.'

Ralf was fuming inside, but his body was still shaking from the earlier exchange. He clenched his teeth and yelled. ”Sword Union!!”

Suddenly, all the glass like swords started to come together and fuse until only one Large sword remained. Ralf gestured with his hand and the sword bolted towards the Armored Human.

Far off into the distance, only a few kilometers from the Oasis, a green portal suddenly appeared and a draconian figure could be seen hurling out with incredible speed, till he finally fell on the sand, creating splash.

Uther looked at the state of his own body, his Armor was almost completely obliterated, and his scales were broken leaving a huge gash on his chest where the Raavi's attack connected.

Clink…clink…clink

Uther slowly started to take the chest plate off, followed by the rest of the Silver Armor. Meanwhile the sinister green mist that made up the portal slowly poured back into Uther's body. The wound on his chest started to heal at incredible speed, and within a few minutes, he was feeling better than ever.

”It seems you got a lot of benefits from her blood.” Uther said as the green mist slowly retreated back into his Spiritual Core. ”The stronger you are, the better it is for me, but don't forget, my spiritual mark is still on the core. If you want to be free, my ascension comes first.”

The mist didn't reply, it slowly released fluctuation in his spiritual core, as if to say yes. Uther smirked, and looked around him.

”I shouldn't be too far off from the Oasis, I wonder if Andre achieved his mission.” Uther muttered as he started to sprint towards the Oasis.
