Chapter 275: The Return
"Those bastards destroyed our fucking city! The only way they’re leaving this place is in a fucking body bag!"
The dragonborn all grew furious once they heard Agiel’s words, and the dragons responded to their riders’ emotions and began raising their wings as they prepared for a battle! Agiel and Luthor both unleashed their mana as well, and Fredrica cursed as she discreetly grabbed her phone and prepared to make a call to Cersai! It was obvious that the Commanders weren’t going to listen to reason, so they might need to forget about the negotiations and move straight into Plan B! But in the midst of the high mana output, a figure suddenly burst out from the shadow behind the Gaia agent and grabbed Riyala before diving back into the shadows and bolting!
Woosh!
Alpha had been waiting for a perfect moment to get close to Riyala all this time. Even though she was in the shadows, Alpha knew that the superhumans could still notice her mana anytime she got close to them. That was why Alpha couldn’t grab Riyala when she was in the helicopter or before they got into this dome. Fredrica might only be a field agent, but she was still a superhuman, and Alpha was sure that she would notice the moment Alpha got too close. But the moment all those superhumans released their mana at the same time, Fredrica’s senses were overloaded, and that meant that Alpha could get close without worrying about them picking up her mana signature!
Alpha had grabbed Riyala so quickly that most normal people wouldn’t have even known that she moved at all! In one moment, Riyala had been standing there, and in the next moment, a black figure grabbed her and vanished! But most of the superhumans here were in the S Rank, so they were all able to see the movement easily! Grinot’s eyes widened in shock as he saw Riyala being taken into the shadows by a strange woman, and in the next moment, everyone moved!
ROARRRR!
The dragons roared as they took off after the moving shadow, and Grinot shouted in anger as he dashed towards Luthor for an attack! Luthor brought up his sword quickly and blocked it! Agiel charged to the side and slammed into one of the dragons that was chasing after the shadow, and the dragon turned to her with a loud roar as it unleashed a fire breath straight at her! Agiel put her hand out with a grunt and activated her Gift to counter the flames, and the other dragons passed the two of them and continued chasing after the shadow! Alpha was moving quickly, but she cursed when one of the dragons slammed into the spot where she was! Alpha didn’t stand a chance against these dragons since she was far weaker than them, so they were able to follow her movements easily!
The Shadow-based Arcane Art was a very powerful type of magic that would give its wielder a massive advantage in any battle, but that didn’t mean that it was invincible. Even though the user was hiding in the shadow, that didn’t immediately mean that nothing could harm the user at all! Firstly, anyone in the shadow could still be noticed by those outside the shadows, so it was easy to track the shadow-user’s movement! But another issue was the fact that disturbing or erasing the shadow a shadow-user is moving through will immediately make the shadow-user come back into the real world! That was how Jason managed to trap all the Phantoms in the real world when he attacked them earlier.
So the moment one of the dragons unleashed a massive wave of fire towards where Alpha and Riyala were, Alpha didn’t have any choice but to jump out from the shadow and back into the real world, and Riyala’s eyes widened when she saw the fire heading for them! Riyala put her cuffed hand out towards the dragon’s breath, and she released her own magic to create a wall of fire that would block the dragon’s breath, but her magic was nothing compared to the dragonbreath, so it was easily eliminated by the stronger flames! A hand suddenly grabbed Riyala and pulled her closer, and Riyala felt her breath leave her as the person easily slapped the dragon’s flames away! Riyala looked up quickly to see who had helped her, and she was shocked when she saw Jason staring calmly towards the dragon! Jason had switched places with Alpha immediately Azrael finished gathering his subordinates in the other world. Jason had been watching what was happening here on earth using the [Eye of the King], and saying that Jason was pissed would be an understatement! Jason was going to deal with Gaia and Cersai later, but first, Jason was going to kill these Radagan bastards!
Jason landed on top of a building while holding Riyala close, and the dragons released loud roars as they came forward to attack him! Jason immediately called out!
"Ragnar!"
ROARRRR!
A louder roar echoed through the city as Ragnar appeared in the air above Jason! The Radagan dragons looked up in shock when they heard the roar of one of their own! Ragnar looked just like the Radagan dragons since he was one of them, so the dragons and their riders didn’t know how to react for the first few seconds! But once they saw Ragnar charging up a dragon’s breath, they were immediately on the defensive as they began charging up their own attack! Three dragons unleashed fire towards Ragnar at the same time, and Ragnar pulled back and released his own attack!
TWOOM!
Ragnar’s dragon breath tore through the sky like a missile and immediately eliminated all the flames from the other dragons! Ragnar’s attack tore a straight line through the air as it continued forward before it slammed into one of the three dragons and tore its wing off! The dragon cried out as it began falling to the ground, and Ragnar charged forward to confront the other dragons! The dragons were strong enough to be regarded as high-level S Ranks on Earth, but Ragnar was a Rank III Rook in Jason’s Legion, and that meant he was on the same level as a high-level SS Rank! Ragnar was larger, stronger, and more ferocious in every way, so once he grabbed hold of one of the dragons, he didn’t waste any time as he bit into the dragon’s wings and dragged it to the ground!
BOOM!
Jason watched Ragnar beating the shit out of the dragon for a few seconds before he called on more members of his Legion. Azrael appeared on a tall building a few miles away from Jason, and Jason commanded it to take out the dragon that was battling Agiel. Azrael put its hand in the air and called on its Necrosis magic, and a wide purple circle formed over the sky and began to rotate as an S Rank lightning spell came to life! The lightning flew straight for the dragon, and it was only the dragon rider’s sharp instincts that allowed him to move his dragon out of the way so he didn’t get hit directly! The lightning tore into one of the dragon’s wings, and it let out a cry as the area touched by lightning began to disintegrate and wither to dust! Large holes appeared in the dragon’s wings, and this prevented it from being able to move properly and gave Agiel the opening she needed to land a perfect punch on the dragon rider’s face!
SLAM!
Agiel was about to continue attacking, but she had to stop when a large wolf appeared from the side and tackled the dragonrider! Agiel recognized the wolf as the same one that attacked her when she was fighting Keith, and she immediately knew that this was the work of Jason!
More and more of Jason’s subordinates began to appear in the city as Jason called on them! The Sky King let out a cry as it led ten falcons against one of the dragons with Lupin and other spidermonkeys riding on their back! The Falcons all unleashed their feathers in a hit-and-run tactic against the dragons, and the spidermonkeys jumped down from the Falcons’ backs and latched onto the dragons and their riders to force them to the ground! This distracted the dragons long enough for Raya to come in and tackle one of them to the ground using [Linear Charge]! Ragnar let out a massive dragon breath that slammed into the dragon, and the dragon didn’t stand a chance as it was immediately killed by the attack!
BOOOOM!!!
Jason put his hand out as Ragnar turned its attention to another dragon and Jason called out with authority.
"Resurrect."
