BAM! Arad's fist flew right beside Eris's head, cutting a strand of her hair. ^He's fast!^ She jumped back and lifted her spear, seeing Arad still after her with his fists.
CLANG! CLANG! Arad fired two other punches, and Eris deflected them with a spear spin, but she failed to reach in ti to the next fist, getting hit in the face.
CRACK! Eris could feel her nose crack. Arad wasn't holding back. He wanted her down so he could go finish her father off.
PEW! PEW! Two arrows flew from the sky, piercing Eris's feet and pinning her to the ground.
"GUH!" Eris gasped, ^I can't run away, and my magic is running out. As a vampire, he's weaker than . I thought he was stronger, being a true dragon, but I miscalculated and ended up damaging myself,^
Arad still had two punches coming hot, hitting Eris in the face a second ti, spinning her body sideways, and ripping the arrows from the ground.
ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR! Arad roared, swinging the last fist at her guts as hard as he could. BOOM! A shockwave exploded as his fist pushed deeper into Eris's stomach, deflecting her body back like a soft ball of clothes.
Isdis gasped, seeing Eris's body fly several ters into the air. Her eyes shifted toward Arad, sweating. "Where did that black dragon go?" She gasped, not wanting him to hear the answer. If what was in her mind is right, she could end up dead soon.
BAM! The ground shook, throwing Isdis into the sky, and she fell back on her face. Looking forward, she could see the two massive dragons wrestling at the mountain foot.
Arad grunted, his skin turning black, covered with scales.
Isdis sat on her knees, shaking. She could feel it from her spot, Arad was angry, and his bloodlust is out of the roof. The only thing preventing her from crying is that anger is directed toward soone else.
BAM! She looked to the side as Arad's long black tail coiled around her, and a rumbling dragon growled in front of her. It was him, and she guessed it since they had the sa na.
"Get away from here. This forest won't exist by the sunrise," Arad growled.
"Wait!" Isdis shouted, and Arad expanded his wings, blasting into the sky and leaving her coughing in the dust.
"He's a dragon, no wonder he was so strong," She looked at Arad flying, rembering when he first showed up.
This wasn't a potential S-rank adventurer. It's an S-rank monster playing a pretend-to-be-human ga, and it's dangerous. When people like her see Arad, they expect a powerful individual to look up to, soone they could expect great deeds and morals.
That is wrong. No one knew they were dealing with a whole dragon. The wrong word or action could get them killed. And now, Isdis couldn't help but rember her father. He might have refused Arad's noble title with how stupid it looked to expect a human to punch a vampire. But now she knew that wasn't so empty claim.
Isdis sighed, "We can't expect a human mind from a dragon. I should tell Father to be careful dealing with Arad from now on,"
PEW! An arrow passed beside her face, cutting a wound on her cheek. "You could start by not delivering that information, could you?"
Isdis gasped, stepping back, "Aella? Is that you?" She looked around, "Won't it be better if I inford Father? He's the king, and I'm sure it will make Arad's life easier," Isdis smiled,
PEW! An arrow flew from the trees, piercing Isdis's shoulder, "I don't care what you or him are. Arad doesn't want his identity disclosed."
Isdis gasped for air, grabbing the arrow on her shoulder and growling, "Firing an arrow on a princess, you have so guts. But won't it be better if I spoke with Arad about it?" She looked at the trees with a smile.
GUSH! Esdis suddenly started suffocating. No matter how she tried to breathe, she couldn't.
Thud! Aella jumped from a tree and stared at the suffocating Isdis. "A corpse can't speak. And don't expect the luxury of breathing around ," She walked with her bow aid at Isdis, "You died in the dragon fight crushed in an unfortunate accident."
Thud! Aella felt a hand tapping on her shoulder. She turned around swinging her dagger only to see Jack standing there, pointing at his neck.
"Sorry! It blocks everyone around !" Aella gasped, releasing her magic and letting Jack and Isdis breathe.
"Let her live. We can use her." Jack gasped, looking at the sky, "We talk later. Let's get away before the dragons fall to the ground," He pulled Aella by the hand.
"Fine," Aella sighed, rushing after Jack.
Isdis gasped for air, staring at Aella, "That wasn't very nice of you," She ran after them.
Thud! Jack stopped, seeing Eris bleeding on the ground. "Forget about her. She will die soon." Isdis growled.
"That woman is a vampire. Did you how fast she regenerated? She would get up soon." Jack replied.
Aella pulled a dagger from her wrist, "Need to finish her then?"
"No!" Jack shook his head, rushing to carry Eris on his back. "We aren't going to get a word out of the big one in the sky. So this woman will do." He smiled. "We can interrogate her later,"
"We can't keep her tied," Aella stared at him.
"I have the chains Arad was tied with by the dragon cult. Those should keep her purple magic down," Jack lifted Eris and looked at Aella. "We need to get to the city first though,"
"Let's hope she doesn't wake up before that then," Aella sheathed her dagger, and the three ran back toward the city.
"I can take custody of her if you want," Isdis stared at Jack and Aella.
"No, we will keep her. And nothing is decided until Arad is back." Jack looked at the sky.
"I understand, but...?" Isdis looked back with a worried face, "Can he win?"
