13 『Sunlit Scripture I』 (1/2)
A lone figure could be seen leaving the Village grounds, walking directly towards where the Head Warrior stood bleeding from his wounds inflicted during his battle with numerous Archangel Flames.
Nigun, a man with a scar over his eye and short blond hair, with black eyes, narrowed his sights on the figure as he was in the middle of a grand speech. A brow raised seeing this, ”Ah? Who is this…? Have you come to be killed alongside the beloved Head Warrior of the Re-Estize Kingdom!? Hahaha!”
Larger than life, it seemed this Zealot couldn't keep his volume down as Jack continued his approach in silence. His sleek black staff dragging loosely behind him.
His eyes dully gazed forward, his skin being polluted by beautiful scales that matched his eyes of amethyst hues. Shuffling side to side with each step, he moved reminiscent of a zombie.
Swaying to and fro, the Head Warrior turned his head to look at Jack, flexing his eyes as he wiped the blood from his brow. ”Jack-dono?” A smile cracked across his lips, one pinging with an expression of deep physical pain.
Continuing without a word, Jack would begin to 'phase' out of normal existence. He became transparent, then there were three of him. Soon enough, there was only one of him again. The show he was putting on was indeed intimidating for anyone watching. It even brought goosebumps to the spectators back in the village, as well as the Head Warrior in front of him.
His body morphing, twisting and growing. His body would be covered in scales, the same scales which had surrounded his eyes. That was not all. Beneath his chin was a mane of brilliant multi-colored feathers that spread out from either side of his jaw beneath his ears which slowly vanished.
As his transformation continued, it made him look similar to a Drake, a four legged type of dragon.
This would only transpire for a mere few seconds, before he was several times larger than he was before. On all fours was a long snaking body with large talons and wide spanned wings spread from his back.
He looked absolutely majestic as his face was now edge shaped, for he was a Dragon, his eyes having become far more fierce. They no longer seemed dead at all as he bore his sharp fang-like rows of teeth.
He was ten feet in length, his wings nearly twice that as he narrowed them out at his sides. Je was picking up his pace, charging forth gallantly. Excitement building up inside of him.
”A Dragon!?” Nigun shouted aloud, ”Kill it! Kill it now!” He ordered his subordinates, which in turn they sent their many puppeteered Angels in his direction.
Jack initially ignored them, as he was running past Gazef, their eyes met and his wing went just over his head, as the filmed underwing grazed the top of his head Jack cast the spell 『heal』. Almost immediately the Head warrior was healed in a flash of green light.
”What the…?” Gazef looked over his person, inspecting his wounds which were threatening his very life, yet there was nothing wrong with him. He looked to the broken sword in his hand and brought forth a half-cocked smile. ”I was mortally wounded,” He watched as the Dragon charged at the summoned monsters.
Jack pushed himself off the ground and flapped his wings, torpedoing himself through one of the Angels, before skidding along on his talons through the dirt when he finally landed. Digging up grass and soil as he did so, sending it flying in all directions.
The single angel had been destroyed without problem. No damage visible on the Dragon!
”Such power...” Gazef watched as the magical beast opened its mouth and let out a loud howl, overlapped with a harmonious growl of some kind from its throat.
Several bolts of psychic energy leaving from his mouth, as soon as it hit the Angels their summoners immediately lost control! These creatures let out a desperate wail, their stoicism broken, an expression clear to be seen.
Then within a few more seconds of being effected, the Archangel Flames exploded into Golden Lights, one by one as they attacked one another and anything close to them that moved!
Nigun couldn't believe what he was seeing! How in the world was a Dragon so small compared to a Dragon Lord capable of doing such damage!? The Third Tier angels didn't even phase it!
”Again! Att--” He watched as the Dragon fired a volley of Psychic energy towards his men, cutting him off by sudden surprise.
”No!” One of them dove to the side, but the one beside that one wasn't lucky.
”I can't get ou-! The moment the man was hit by the psychic energy, he was sent catapulting into the air by the physical force alone, before landing with a roll.
There was a few instances of unnerving silence as all of the Mages within the Scripture stared at the man laying on the ground. Like a dead man resurrected, he would clumsily raise to his feet. His eyes were bleeding, the whites were bloodshot, and he released a heart wrenching screaming.
”Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
He then tackled the other Mage who had dodged the attack, starting to beat him over and over again with his fists. Biting at his hands and arms that he tried to block the assault with.
”In the name of the Surshana…” Nigun happened to mutter under his breath, his eyes flickering over towards Jack, at least where he had been once before. ”Where did he go!?”
The Commander of the Sunlit Scripture looked this way and that, but he didn't see the Dragon!
”Where is it!? Find him!” He could only order his men to look around frantically, until suddenly a single swipe tore the head clean off of one of the mages. Sending the head tumbling along on the plains, before rolling to a stop.
The body then crumpled to the floor.
Nigun narrowed his eyes on the bloodied claws that blended into the surroundings within the next few seconds. Almost perfectly, Jack had disappeared from sight. He couldn't seen by anyone, or anything.
