Chapter 82: Terror of Zephyr(2) (2/2)
”Hmph! Just keep dreaming about killing me.” Zephyr sneered and lifted her claw and swung it towards the sword. The two forces collided and a huge rumble echoed in the city as the light-filled the sky, obscuring the beast and Elder Jyn from the sight of the citizens and soldiers and Kadyn.
However, when the curtains faded, horror and despair once more engulfed the entire city. Zephyr was still fine, not even a scratch could be seen on her snow-white body. She peered at Elder Jyn and scoffed. ”That tickles me. Can you use that once more; my back is itching for some time, I can use your attack to relieve myself.”
”Don't be too arrogant, beast!” Elder Jyn was incensed when he heard Zephyr's mocking tone. He flapped his white wings behind his back and once more cast the same spell. ”Sword of Judgement!”
”Hmph, looks like it's your most powerful spell. What a disappointment.” She said and turned into a blurry shadow.
”Watch out!” Barret and Potioneer Yel shouted in unison. However, their warning did little to help the situation. Before Elder Jyn could complete the spell, Zephyr's claw had already reached in front of him. Elder Jyn was completely terrified by this insane speed. Even with the help of his wings, he could not avoid the attack.
Boom!
The claw landed over his chest and sent flying hundreds of meters away. He landed on the wall, with his caved chest, coughing blood continuously. The horror was evident in his eyes. Only now did he realise the terror of Zephyr. The strength of the dragon.
”We are doomed!” Barret despaired.
Potioneer Yel buckled at the corner with the help of the wall, cuddling his legs with fear. However, no one mocked him for being such a scaredy-cat. Everyone's heart had been drowned in despair and terror. All in all, everyone was affected by the situation and hopelessness engulfed their hearts.
Barret's glanced at the dragon with a pale face and clenched his fist as he shouted towards his soldiers. ”Brothers, as you can see that we are going to die.” His gaze roamed on the faces those were filled with terror. Then he continued. ”However, do you want to die a pathetic death as this arrogant beast wants us to, or like heroes that the world would remember with respect? Choose what kind of death you want!
”Tell me, will you be able to face your loved ones in the next world if you abandon them here. You are their hope and you need to fight to the very end. To protect them, to show them your love and dedication. To show this arrogant beast that no one could trample our dignity! We need to show our wives that her husband is no coward and to show our lovers that her choice was not wrong and to show our children that her father is a real hero. We need to fight to protect them all!”
”Fight!”
”Fight!”
”Fight!”
As soon as his speech ended, the entire city rumbled with shouts, fear started to fade from everyone's face and an unwavering determination appeared on their faces. Even people in the city were affected by this sudden burst of shouts. Their blood boiled with heroic spirit, they felt as if they could tear the sky at this moment if they wanted. Even Kadyn was affected by this.
However, he knew that this was the last struggle before the wisp died. But at this moment the impression that Barret left on his heart was too deep. He always thought that this guy was too cunning and manipulative as he had even placed Hicka in his shop as a spy. But today his thinking changed. He started to respect this man in front of him who was trembling with fear and terror, but could still inspire thousands of people with his voice. He clenched his fist and made a decision.
Zephyr looked at Barret and laughed mockingly. ”Nice speech, but it won't help you in any way. The outcome has already been fixed on the stone that no one could change. You'll die and your loved ones will die along with you and every citizen will follow afterwards.”
”Oh, really?” Just as Kadyn was about to move and reveal himself in front of Zephyr, an unfamiliar voice resounded that he had never heard before. He looked towards the source and his eyes widened.
