"Fuck, I am dying today."
Kael could see his death.
Even if he didn't die under their flas, he would definitely die from a heart attack.
'Gru…'
As if sensing his feelings, Igni called out.
It was as if the little dragon was saying,
'Should I co out…?'
And of course, the answer was,
'No.'
Yes, Kael knew his Igni wanted to get out but…
Kael couldn't let it…
He could lose anyone, he could see countless deaths, he would bear the burden of them all,
But not his Igni.
Igni was one thing he couldn't lose.
'I promise I will let you go all out in the forest when all of this is over. I have asked around, there is a place where you can have all the fun you want. But for now, you are not to co out.'
He ordered.
Kael could sense it,
Igni was worried. If sothing happened, he would co out on his own.
Yes, if the Bonds wanted, they could very well co out of the Sanctuary on their own, and the Tar wouldn't have any control over it.
Kael wanted to avoid that, so,
'I am fine, Igni. Don't worry.'
He spoke in a reassuring tone.
Then, he looked ahead, his eyes much clearer than before.
"Echo."
"Kuuu!"
Echo replied.
"Let's kill them."
Kael spoke.
When Igni was at stake, it was much easier to make Kael do things.
"Kuuuu!"
As if waiting for this, Echo screeched cheerfully as he changed direction again. This ti, however, Kael didn't react and suppressed all his fear.
His eyes turned draconic golden, red veins appeared on his face and,
"RRROOOOOAAAAAARRRR!!!!!"
[Skill: Roar of Dominion]
He activated his skill, and just like the Brutes, the Flyings froze.
Roar of Dominion was an extrely useful skill, especially against these cursed beasts. Maybe it was because of their low intelligence, but they had almost no resistance to this skill's effect.
Against them, the Roar of Dominion was no different than a full six-second freedom where Kael could do anything he wanted while his enemies were barely able to keep themselves in the air.
"Kuuu!!"
Echo understood what Kael wanted and dashed towards one of the beasts. Kael steadied himself, gripping his sword tightly.
Slash
Using Echo's montum, Kael severed the Flying's head.
Thud
The creature's lifeless body fell to the ground.
[CE: 549]
Kael saw the notification. Right now, however, he ignored it and focused. Echo had already turned in the direction of another beast. Kael also didn't stay back either. His Magic Circle appeared above his palm, and flaming chains were ford, quickly rushing towards the third Flying.
By now, Echo had reached the second Flying. Kael, in a similar manner, beheaded it, and just as he was done, his Flaming Chains brought the third Flying right in front of him.
Slash
Kael beheaded it as well.
[CE: 578]
[CE: 462]
[Level: 18 -> 19]
Kael leveled up.
But he didn't care, or rather, he didn't have the ti to care.
Six seconds had passed. The three remaining Flyings quickly lunged at them, but Echo twisted in midair, dodging effortlessly.
This ti, instead of feeling scared, Kael, who had shifted his focus on offence, used the montum to swing his sword, slashing across one of the Flying's wings.
"SCREEECHHH!!!!"
It let out an ear-piercing screech as it spiralled out of control, crashing into a nearby building.
Kael wanted to attack another one, but suddenly, Echo descended and twisted again, saving Kael, who was about to be attacked from behind.
"I didn't see that one."
Kael admitted.
"Kuu!"
Echo cheered. It was as if he was saying, 'I got your back.'
Kael laughed, and the battle continued.
Kael left his defense to Echo, while he focused on attacking. It had turned into a lethal combination.
One had to know, Echo wasn't weak. Rather, as Sarah's first bond, he was the archer's strongest bond and one of the strongest beasts present here. His powers didn't fade out even when compared to these corrupted beasts.

[Weaknesses: Energy Drain, Weak Physical Defense]
...
Yes, Echo was strong, and when soone like him focused just on defense, it was extrely difficult to catch him off guard, especially when the only thing the enemy knew in the na of 'tactics' was to 'chase till the opponent is dead.'
With Echo focused on defense and Kael on offense, the Flyings quickly realized that it was getting dangerous.
Their instincts warned them to create distance, so that is what they did, but then,
"Echo, go down, we will finish that one."
Kael ordered.
"Kuuu!!"
Echo nodded as he descended.
Kael only had one reason to do this. He would use this opportunity to reduce their numbers and buy ti so he could use Roar of Dominion again.
Only ten seconds were left. By the ti they descended, killed the Flying that had crashed onto the building, and got back in the air, he would be able to use it again.
Yes, he was planning to spam it against these beasts until every single one of them was dead.
The skill was just that useful. He would be a fool if he didn't use it. A stain to the cultured.
"Kuuu!!"
While Kael was lost in his thoughts, Echo's call alerted him, they were about to descend, Kael quickly prepared and the mont he got close enough,
Stab
He stabbed his sword right through the Beast's body, ending it in one swift move.
[CE: 449]
"SCREEECHHH!!!!"
The rest of the Flying followed them, Echo, however, moved swiftly, ascending back in the air, and then,
"ROOOAAAAAAARRRRR!!"
Kael roared again.
The Flying froze but then suddenly,
"SCREEECCHHH!!"
Kael saw four more Beast rushing towards them.
"Fuck."
He cursed out loud, then without wasting any ti,
"Echo, now!"
He ordered, Echo dashed forward and just like before,
Kael quickly beheaded the two beasts affected by his roar and prepared to face four more.
Another round of aerial battle started.
Yes, Kael and Echo's duo had managed to gather almost all of the enemy Aggro, as for the Flyings that were focused on the soldiers, well they had another problem to deal with.

…
Yes, none of the beasts on Kael's side were weak, especially when they were together with Kael, whose strengthened their morale.
But suddenly, sothing happened.
"Kuuu!!"
Echo, who was swiftly dodging the incoming attacks started descending.
"Echo? What's wron-"
Kael wanted to question, finding his behaviour odd, but before he could even complete, Echo, who thought it was now safe enough, flipped over and this ti, Kael fell.
Yes, Echo threw Kael from his back and hurried away.
"Echo!! What are you doin- Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!"
"Kuuuu!!!"
Instead of answering, however, Echo simply dashed away.
