章節 56: Dark Dragonknight
Ra was jolted from a particularly pleasant dream, in which he and Bast had married and lived quietly in a cottage by the lake- he would have woken smiling if not for the loud bangs and sounds of shattering glass erupting in his ears. He shot up and was pleased to find Bast alert, ready and most importantly- safe. "Let's go see what's going on." Ra said quietly, and soul formed. Bast gave a sharp nod, a purple aura surrounding her and followed. In mere seconds Ra was hovering above the Academy and scanning the grounds, flashes of light were visible at seemingly random points. Ra tracked them to their center where he believed was the source of the commotion.
Bast was close behind, near a massive fountain a figure stood in black armor emblazoned with runes, his aura did not lose out to Ra's at all. "You've arrived," a deep voice carried across the distance of 40 yards that separated them, it sounded happy. "What do you want?" Ra yelled back, "Want? not much, Some fun maybe!" he laughed. Ra rolled his eyes and emanated his aura of a level 8 Immortal Dragonknight, the man did not shrink away, and dark tendrils rose from his body as he emanated his aura, he was also a level 8 immortal Dragonknight. Nevertheless, Ra attacked, and he fought unconventionally in a way he had never fought before, thousands of skills, spells and techniques swam in his head, he would punish this person for believing he was even his match!
Rapid teleportation! Bast was relegated to a spectator as Ra appeared and disappeared in rapid succession, closing and retreating from battle as he swung his twin swords like a rising hurricane. The man was forced to retreat step by step in the face of this furious onslaught but managed to defend himself. Seeing this, Ra unleashed a snarl and his attacks became more erratic and much faster.
Shadow blade! A black spike formed in the air and Ra sent it hurtling towards his opponent, and predicting the dodge, plunged his swords where he believed he would step. His prediction paid off, the man moved into the path of his stabbing swords, his armor shattered and he fell to the ground wearing next to nothing and sweating profusely. Ra leveled his sword near the man's neck, "Who are you?" he snarled. "I-I-I..." Ra's patience was thin, "SPEAK!" He yelled. "I-I'm puh-pr-prince Xllor, uh-of the Suvain Kingdom..." he stuttered miserably, "And what do you want?" Ra sneered, pressing his blade to the man's neck and drawing a line of blood. The man seemed panicked because of this and began speaking unintelligibly, between sobs and hiccups what he managed to get out was: "My father said vis-it uth-a ke-ke-kingdoms and-and make friends and figh-fight struh-strong pe-people. chah-challenge 'em he-he says and see-wha-wha-what's-wh-what..." he trailed off-
Sighing deeply, Ra dismissed his soul weapon and dragged the man to his feet. He revealed a look of exasperation as he cradled the bridge of his nose between his thumb and forefinger, "You're making something," he said slowly, "but it's not sense." The man had a confused look on his face, "Si-Sir? what is it that I-I'm making?" he asked, puzzled. "A fool of yourself." Ra said with a faint hint of annoyance. "Sor-Sorry," he said, and lowered his head. Ra took a deep breath to calm himself, the guy was stupid but he wasn't necessarily a threat, "however, that's only because he just happened to be slightly weaker than me, had it been the me from a year ago we may have just faced a calamity."
"Xllor?" he called out to him, "Yes sir!" the man had managed to calm himself quite a bit and now spoke to Ra as if speaking to a superior.
"You've fought me, what are your intentions now?" he asked as Bast joined him at his side.
"My father said, '' If you meet powerful people, bring them back here at once!" he recited. Ra cocked his head, "For what exactly?" he asked feeling slightly curious, the man shrugged his shoulders, but leaning in he whispered a single word, "Trolls," and straightened again with a pondering look on his face saying, "All I know is my father requested help and that should I find any I am to personally escort them to the Kingdom if they're willing. A huge grin spread across his face, "You...are willing, aren't you?" he seemed to be almost pleading, Ra could see that their situation was likely desperate, but he was not an idiot, and would not walk willingly into a trap. Deciding that he would first get the lay of the land, he invited Xllor to see Headmaster Gram and his Instructor before making any concrete decisions. Hearing this, Xllor appeared apprehensive, but in the end he agreed when Ra told him they were also quite powerful.
However, a few moments later in Headmaster Gram's office his face fell and he looked quite disappointed. Ra also felt a little put off, he hadn't seen the two in quite a while but even he was a little disappointed at their current level. Headmaster Gram was the stronger of the two, a level 1 Evolved Dragonknight, and Instructor Shizune was slightly weaker, lower by a single stage. Nevertheless the gap between the two was like night and day, as she was merely a level 9 Dragonslayer. Xllor shot him a cold look, but Ra returned it causing him to retract his gaze and stare at the floor. Ra told Instructor Shizune and Headmaster Gram about Xllor and his Kingdom as well as the problems they currently faced. Hearing up to here, Instructor Shizune began to drill Xllor with questions, "How many, what is their average level, are they organised, have you met their leaders?!" after an hour of extensive grilling Xllor was filled with a new respect and fear of Instructor Ilyra Shizune, seeming satisfied and pleased with the answers she had received, she rounded on Ra. "What is your current strength?" she asked bluntly, Ra was slightly surprised by the swift change in the direction of questioning but answered quickly, "Very near to level 9 Immortal Dragonknight," he replied.
-Plop
-Scrape
The sound of Instructor Shizune's plump bottom slapping against and pushing Headmaster Gram's desk resonated in their ears, it was clear to see that she had not been expecting this answer and began to speak with a mild stutter, "S-s-so strong?" her face blanched, Ra thought she looked very pretty like that, beads of sweat made her golden blonde hair seem to shine in the beams of bright daylight that streamed in through the window. He offered her a small smile which she returned, "and you?" she directed this question to Xllor, "the same?" she assumed since apparently he'd almost fought Ra on equal footing. However, Xllor sneered in disdain, "I am a Dark Dragonknight, Thank you!" he said haughtily, to which Instructor Shizune shrugged, attributing it to something similar or equal to an immortal Dragonknight.
"What about you?" this last question was aimed at Bast along with a piercing blue gaze, Headmaster Gram had remained silent all the while, absently staring out the window of his office from behind his desk. Bast puffed up her chest, which wasn't saying much, her breasts were quite small, and perky. Nothing at all like the huge balloons Instructor Shizune carried around on her chest. "Level 4 Venerable Dragonlord!" She stated proudly causing Instructor Shizune to seek the desk for balance once more. "You kids are monsters..." she whispered quietly. "Sorry, Instructor? I didn't quite catch that," Ra said grinning, he had naturally caught it, "I called you monsters, what about it?" she said loudly, which sent Bast into peals of laughter and widened Ra's grin. "I've nothing left to say, go, and...be careful." she gave them a small smile before turning away and joining Headmaster Gram at the window.
"Yes Instructor!" Said Ra, and he clasped his hands with a small bow.
"Yes Instructor!" Said Bast, imitating him.
"Lets go," Ra said to Xllor, and they followed him out of the office.
"They'll be okay, you think, Ilyra?" Headmaster Gram finally spoke.
"They're strong kids, Sigurd, I think they'll be fine." saying so, she turned and disappeared from the room.
Leaving Headmaster Gram to sigh heavily, "This old man is quite useless where those two are concerned," He murmured quietly.
