It was like the scene of an apocalypse. Giant red spears fell from the sky like rain.
"Run for your life!"
"Ahh!" A man screamed as his whole body melted before the giant spear even made contact with him. But a second later, the giant spear ran through the man, turning him into dust immediately before passing dozens of people more in its way before landing on the ground, shearing the earth.
This scene repeated itself hundreds of times. No. Thousands of times over. Filled with the blood curdling scream of the victims, Aldred watched on with indifference in his eyes.
Mira closed her eyes and prayed. "May your souls be forgiven."
Aldred chuckled. "You don't have to pray for them, Mira. They are not worthy of your prayers."
Zara and Wena were shocked to see Aldred's power for the first time.
Wena had always trusted her got feeling, and she had felt that Aldred was a very powerful person, which was the reason why she let the dragons revealed themselves to him. But this… this power is beyond comparison. If the dragon horde fought against him… the dragons could win, but the price they pay would be too big.
"Zara," Wena called. "You lead the dragons. Show them our power."
Zara nodded and immediately brought the dragons away. Aldred was surprised at this because he thought he got the dragons under his control. But then he watched them slaughtering everything in their path.
They opened their jaw, and spewed massive flame on the same direction. One group of a particular dragon species with wide wingspan approached each other and then spun like a tornado as flames came ablaze all over their body. Creating hundreds of flame tornado that swept through the treasure hunters in the sky.
"Fuck!" The elf, Carmaris, stared at Aldred. "Human. Stop your attack on my men, or the elf nation will never forgive you."
"Fuck you and your elf nation."
Carmaris gritted his teeth in anger. "How dare you. The elf is so much powerful than you humans. We will wage war for this."
Zakos scoffed at that statement. As someone coming from the Ceraisian Empire, he knew the military power of the Ceraisian one of the mightiest in this continent. The empire was so strong that it could have a war against two nations at once while still having a civil war.
The Dragons and the Phoenix was the civil war he talked about. These two group with the emperor and empress at the head respectively, were at each other's throat all the time.
"Aldred. It's your win. We're leaving this place." Zakos called for his men to retreat, and left immediately.
"Cowards!" Carmaris mocked. "Let me show you the power of the elf. Grand Tree Bow!"
A magnificent bow appeared in his hand, and he aimed it Aldred.
"Be prepared to die!"
An arrow seemingly made out of powerful magic wood materialized on the bow, and then the arrow disappeared before a powerful wind blew the elf's hair followed by a sonic boom.
Aldred pulled his [Deep Sea Bow (Epic)] and fired back.
The arrow was formed out of water, and just like the elf's arrow, it also released a powerful wind and sonic boom.
The arrow clash against each other and exploded, throwing powerful energy in every direction.
Carmaris clenched his fist. "Who are you? How can your bow matched mine?"
The elf should be the strongest archer in the world, and their bow had to be the best. This was the source of his confidence, but now he saw a bow that could match his power. This made him see the world in a different light.
Aldred did not reply, but instead activated another skill. "Explosive Water Arrow."
A water arrow zipped towards the elf and exploded with a splash of water that destroyed the elf's left shoulder down to his chest.
Carmaris gagged as he was too shocked by this. Then the pain registered as he screamed.
"Retreat!"
The elves fired their bow for one last time before they pulled their pegasus and retreated.
Aldred stood straight on the dragon, both hands clasped on his back. He watched this and reached out with his hand. "Fire Manipulation."
Fire circles appeared in the air, and then a barrage of fire fist came out, slamming at the retreating elves.
Carmaris gritted his teeth in anger when he saw this but a flame fist slammed onto him from above. Crushing his skull and burning his scalp before he crashed to the ground.
"Leader!"
The elves tried to save their leader, but the barrage of flame fist engulfed them completely. The surviving elves quickly gave up and ran away as fast as they can to save their own lives.
"Look at them running." Bartrem laughed.
Wena looked at Aldred. "You're too powerful for this world."
"Am I?"
"Well, at least against an army you would win. Your power is more suitable to fight a large number of people rather than one strong entity."
"Perhaps." Aldred smiled.
The dragons turned around and headed towards the island.
Because of what happened earlier, the other treasure hunters distanced themselves away from Aldred and his group of dragons.
The red spears raining on the enemy, the dragons slaughtering everything they see, these two scene were carving fear in their hearts.
"Don't mess with them. You guys hear me?" A man said to his friends.
They all nodded frantically. Who would dare to challenge them after that show of force? In fact, some of them even wanted to give up this treasure hunting idea and go home.
But after they recalled what they had to sacrifice to get here, they gritted their teeth and kept flying towards the sky island.
Aldred smiled as he relaxed on the back of the dragon while hugging his wives. "After this, no one should dare to attack us. We can relax until we get to the island."
Mary nodded with a smile until she noticed something in the distance. "Aldred, I don't think we can relax right now."
