Chapter 306 - Getaway (1) (2/2)

By the third second, Link had fully gathered his resolve and entered a state of total concentration. His surroundings seemed to pause.

Then, he started multitasking. While controlling the whip to engage the opponent, he also tossed out a Spatial Sphere. The ball acting in concert with the Demon Slayer Whip was very effective against Warriors. It was practically unbeatable but also risky!

It was obviously fine against a regular Warrior, but this Dragon Warrior’s swordsmanship was practically perfect. If Link’s attacks had any flaws, he’d instantly grasp onto it and start counterattacking. If he used a Battle Aura Cut, Link would be in an awkward situation.

Thankfully, Link was well-practiced with his spells. One-tenth of a second later, he tossed the Spatial Sphere to the Dragon Warrior’s feet.

“Restraint!”

With a soft boom, the sesame-seed-sized sphere exploded. A ball of airwaves, like fog or water or a web, enveloped the Dragon Warrior. He slowed down considerably.

“What is this?” He was shocked.

This type of attack had surpassed what his swordsmanship could handle. It was impossible to hide from. The Dragon Warrior ignited his Battle Aura to break free from the spatial restraint.

This needed time. Even if it didn’t even take a second, it was already fatal.

Before he finished his sentence, Link’s whip had already arrived.

Crack! Crack! Crack! The whip easily overcame the Dragon Warrior’s slow movements. One after another, the attacks fell on his chest, forehead, and the back of his head. They were all fatal spots.

The Dragon Warrior’s armor was instantly shattered. The dragon power’s light was extinguished as well, becoming too dim to see. However, these two things saved him from dying on the spot. He was only gravely wounded.

Spitting out blood, he collapsed onto the ground.

While falling, he was still conscious. Staring at Link, he said, “Good moves, Magician. You really have good moves! I, Lisbon, will remember you!”

Crack! The Demon Slayer Whip came down again, striking the Dragon Warrior’s body. He blew out, crashing into the outer wall of the castle with a boom, creating a giant hole in the thick stone.

Link didn’t have time to check on him. White light glowed, and with a soft buzz, he activated the Dimensional Jump and disappeared from the garden.

Buzz. Three thousand feet away, Link reappeared. The moment he appeared, he activated the Traceless spell and Cheetah’s Agility, starting to race toward the Dragon Temple.

While sprinting, he finally remembered who the Warrior was.

No wonder his swordsmanship is that strong. It’s that guy!

In the previous game, Lisbon was a wandering dragon vigilante. He was banished from the Dragon Valley for some reason and started wandering around Firuman.

He was very straightforward and was a typical martial arts-obsessed guy. He was extremely powerful. Once, he was surrounded by four Level-8 demons. After a hard battle, he suffered serious injuries but managed to kill all four demons. Later, he joined the Light Army.

When Nozama descended, Lisbon was already part of the strongest batch of Warriors of the Light Army. However, he didn’t have a great ending.

During a fortress defense battle, he was the commander and was faced with the succubus Misamier. He fell for the succubus’ spell and was killed. The fortress fell into the enemy’s hands, and the Light Army’s defensive line almost collapsed from the damage.

Naturally, as the commander, all his glory was taken due to this serious mistake.

Lisbon’s motto was, “Want to win my respect? Beat me first!”

Not many could defeat him in the Light Army, so very few were respected by him. And if he didn’t respect someone, he would be an arrogant and annoying person. This was probably a major reason why he had a bad ending. He didn’t have enough friends, so no one spoke up for him after his death.

I can’t believe I met him here and that he’s Duke Osiris’ son. This is probably why he was banished from the Dragon Valley.

Link felt it was fortunate he didn’t kill Lisbon. Otherwise, the Light Army would have one less general.

After running for a while, he heard a sound. Nana had returned. Her speed could reach 2500 feet per second. At this speed, the dragons couldn’t keep up even if they flew. She easily lost them.

Traveling together for a while, Nana suddenly said, “Master, you’re too slow. I’ll carry you.”

“Is that okay?” Link looked at Nana’s slim figure. He suddenly felt that he should’ve made Nana bigger. A big woman like Felina would be able to carry him easily.

“No problem.” Nana grabbed Link and continued charging at her breakneck speed.

Link was speechless and embarrassed. His legs were practically dragging on the ground. It felt like a Tauren riding a goat. Only the Tauren could be seen, and it was just weird.

But she was honestly fast.

…

Just as Link was racing away from Duke Osiris’ territory for his life, a 130-foot Red Dragon landed on the Osiris Castle. The dragon descended and transformed into a man clad in a dark red robe.

He had a high nose and sunken eyes, quite similar to Lisbon. With a dark expression, he walked toward the castle. All the servants and slaves in his path lowered onto the ground and greeted their master.

The guards didn’t dare to even breathe loudly. After greeting the duke, they fell silent.

Osiris glanced at the damaged garden and his wounded son. “Where did the invader go?” he demanded.

“Sir, I can guide you,” a weak feminine voice said. It was Olisa. Her face was ghastly pale, and there were many bloody marks on her. Her life aura was very weak. If not for her strong physique as a dragon, she would be on the ground, waiting to die right now.

“Good. Lead the way!”

The Red Dragon duke transformed again. Flapping his wings, there was a gale that blew the weak Olisa onto his back.

Then Osiris started flying. He was too strong. Not only was his strength concentrated, but it was also at an extraordinarily large scale. With a flap of his wings, he shot into the air like an arrow. Another flap and he disappeared. All that remained was a trail of dark red haze.
