Chapter 82: Terror of Zephyr(2) (1/2)

Kadyn squinted as the bright rays of the sun fell into his eyes as he tried to look at the figure, almost blinding him. Though he cared little about it at the moment, his gaze was fixed on a shadow that flapped its vast wings, rushing towards the Avibria City.

”All the archers, be ready to shoot!” a shout came from up ahead. Kadyn looked and realised that it was Barret, commanding. At the very front were the soldiers with the crossbows; behind them were ordinary archers and at their backs stood people with javelins in their hands, ready to throw them at any moment, looking at the approaching calamity with terror-stricken eyes. But they still held their weapons as tight as they could with their trembling hands.

After all, their families, children, wife, parents, friends were all in the city, giving up at this moment would be equal to giving up on their loved ones and none of them agreed to such a condition. They decided to fight until the end for the people that waited for them in the city. For the happiness of their loved ones.

The soldiers crouched behind the parapet while Barret commanded the troops with grave faces. Behind him stood Elder Jyn and Potioneer Yel. Their faces were pale. One could even see Potioner Yel trembling. If it wasn't for Elder Jyn beside him, he might have already run away from terror.

At this moment, at Barret's command, all the archers pointed their bows and crossbows and javelins towards the colossal figure on the horizon as it dashed towards them like an unstoppable gust of wind that wanted to swallow them all in a single gulp. As the dragon reached around 200 meters away from the city walls Barret shouted. ”Shoot!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Roar!

A furious roar reverberated in the entire Avibria City. The arrows and javelins hit the dragon and fell like the useless cotton balls, not even crossbows made any difference. Not a single wound or a brush appeared on the thick skin of Zephyr. Though it indeed did a thing, made her even more furious. She looked at the people on the city wall and said with a disdainful voice. ”You lowly humans dare to resist in front of me. Die!”

The blue fire discharged from her wide open mouth. As the despair had clouded everyone on the wall, and in the city, a silver sword appeared out of nowhere and sliced through the breath of fire into two similar parts.

Kadyn, who was standing below the wall, looked at the figure with wide eyes and a shock appeared on his face. Elder Jyn. He peered at Zephyr and said. ”Though you are powerful. It doesn't mean you can run rampant. You are just a beast, so it is understandable for you to do things that beasts are most proficient at—chaos.”

Zephyr stared at Elder Jyn with her blue eyes as she flapped her snow-white wings in the sky. The scene was indeed beautiful and enticing, but at this moment, no one felt any intention to admire the scene. ”Rank 2 Magus and you dare to block my path. I don't know if you are brave or stupid. No matter which is true, your death is unavoidable today. No one can block my path!”

Whoosh!

As soon as her word ended, she breathed blue fire again and this time it was even more horrifying. Elder Jyn saw this and his face changed as a fearful expression appeared on his face. ”Everyone avoid it, I can't block it!” he shouted and a weird rune emerged at the centre of his eyebrows and two huge wings appeared on his back as he stood in the air without any support, flapping wings that had sprouted from his back just now.

Bang!

Though, at this moment, Elder Jyn felt no sense of accomplishment and turned his grave gaze below on the wall. Tens of frozen statues stood on the wall as if someone had placed them for an exhibition. Only a few people were lucky enough to avoid the attack, even though they were out of breath, gasping, panting, wounded and terrified.

Elder Jyn saw this and his eyes turned red. ”How dare you, beast!” his furious shout rumbled on the sky of Avibria City that everyone heard. They lifted their gazes and peered in that direction. They knew that he was the only one who could help them in this situation, if he was defeated they all would die a pathetic death. No one would be able to save them.

Kadyn hated to admit it but he was completely terrified at this moment. Horror was plastered on his face. He thought if worse comes to worst he would just give up on the egg, but only now did he realise that he might not even get the chance to negotiate before turning into an ice statue. Just a thought terrified him. He had the urge to run away at this moment, however, he fought that feeling and forced himself to stay.

”Wind Sword, Sword of Judgement!'' At this moment Elder Jyn once more shouted and a gust of wind merged and formed a colossal sword. He looked at Zephyr and shouted. ”Die!”
