Chapter 136 - The Ark Of Battle At The Eastern Front (1/2)

They weren't joking when they said they could finish off the human race without thinking. All of them are formidable, but are they strong enough to go up against the ones who first started the trend of Mages on Earth?

”Won't it be weird for us to openly ride the creature in broad daylight?” asked Nova, as Raiyen took hold of its reigns.

He adjusted the abnormally huge bird towards the direction that Mavislin and Baldwin had headed towards.

”That's why you gotta hold tight now,” instructed Raiyen, slightly squeezing the beast using his legs.

The creature extended its wings and within a single, swift movement, propelled itself into the air. With Raiyen in control, the Rukh proceeded to go further into the clouds, away from human sight. Ysabeau caught up after a few moments, due to the shockwave that Fluffy had made.

”Never thought you could control Rukh. The last time I had encountered you, you won't even go near her,” joked Ysabeau, flying alongside the duo.

”I picked up a few tips along the way,” replied Raiyen, proudly.

As they arrived at the scene, the battle had devasted most of the area's structures. Bodies were strewn all over the decimated wasteland. Nova gasped in horror as she realized what she was looking at.

”So this was the fate of that common village we were at?” asked Nova, voice cracking ever so slightly.

Raiyen shook his head.

”That was already destroyed a long time ago.”

She heaved a sigh of relief.

”But that was the village which housed all the survivors of the Thirty Years War and the common village that you'd visited,” explained Ysabeau.

Nova spun around to look at Ysabeau, inevitably falling from the creature. Her screams tore through the war-torn sky, while a flash of blue quickly caught the falling princess.

”Hold on!” yelled the Time Mage, engulfed with a pale blue Aura.

After glitching through the air for a couple of minutes, Raiyen could only manage to drop his daughter off on the remains of a house.

”Stay here, you're gonna be safe. Ysabeau! Take care of my baby girl!” yelled Raiyen, looking at the sky.

The screech from Fluffy was all that he needed for assurance.

”Where are you going?!” asked Nova, tugging on the Time Mage's sleeve.

”To fight alongside with your mother,” replied the Leader of the Vigilante.

Instantaneously, he zipped through the air, destroying any obstacles in the way using his two best weapons.
