432 Kims vs Thyron (1/2)

Dragov was the first and most obvious sight to find, followed by the army that was attacking him. The former holy champion also spotted a Glacier Wyrm rushing to the aid of a dragon that Lorwynn had never seen before.

When Lorwynn found Hadurt standing in front of Ollan and a guardian, he chuckled. But he abruptly stopped laughing once he noticed the weapon in Hadurt's hands.

Going back and forth between the powering-up Hadurt and the godly duel at the further extents of the field, Lorwynn didn't know what to think. That scenario didn't make sense but he had to give credit to Jack and the Leisure Guild. To not only steal a god's personal weapon but to give it to Hadurt was something that Lorwynn couldn't even imagine, let alone pull off.

Lorwynn also noticed Jack and Bowzer as a cry suddenly sounded out from below Lorwynn.

Not wasting any more time, Lorwynn threw himself into the battle within the walls of the Leisure Guild. He brought out his staff and covered the battlefield in green energy. On the side of the invaders, the ground trembled as savage plants burst from the ground.

Thanks to Lorwynn's spell Entangling Jungle, the invading forces became slowed or immobile for the time being.

However, Lorwynn was focused on a particular battle and hurled a holy light into the fray.

With the holy light healing him, Mooldrat roared and darted toward the regent who dared attempt sneaking past him. But the other bloodied regent stabbed Mooldrat in the back as the beholder tried to escape the encounter.

The second regent, who only managed to blow past the beholder with half an hour missing, rushed toward the women the beholder was guarding. His one good arm held tight to his staff, throwing fireballs with all his might.

Though his life was likely to be taken in the end, the regent was proud to have eliminated the loved ones of the neutral champion.

Yet those fireballs were extinguished before they reached their targets. A rain of lightning reduced the fireballs to cinders.

Everyone in that battle looked up toward the lightning's point of origin. Mooldrat shook. He was both badly injured and elated. The regents were utterly baffled. They were frozen in place by a combination of confusion and fear.

Lorwynn didn't introduce himself, rather he shot out more lightning to decimate the two regents.

Then, the eastern sky was flooded by purple energy and the ground gently shook beneath everyone's feet. It surprised Jack's party before they could thank Lorwynn or ask how he had arrived.

Dropping to the floor, Lorwynn took a moment to ask the party, ”Do any of you know what that was?”

No one replied with an explanation before they returned to the fight at hand.

Just as Lorwynn was about to halt his moment of thought, a voice screamed inside his head as well as all people connected to Jack through a pact.

'Someone help Jack!' It was Bowzer, and his shouts were drastic. 'Jack's gone crazy!'

Taking that as his cue, Lorwynn looked to the party. ”I'll help Jack and Bowzer. If you need anything, just say so.”

Taking off through the air, Lorwynn hurried to where he was needed most, throwing lightning bolts into the herd of trapped syndicate members as Lorwynn flew overhead.

Surrounded by three cranes, Kims was undeterred by their presence. All Kims cared about was slaying the man who ruined his mother's life and his childhood.

Thyron, on the other hand, was entirely focused on escaping alive. Even if he won the battle with Kims, that didn't matter if the cranes would just end him afterward. He was determined to find some means to slip away.
