Chapter 922: A clash outside the city.
Not far from the city of Grayvale, a group of six creatures was rapidly flying in the sky. They were led by the Guardian of Light, an angelic beauty with long blond hair and massive wings of light on her back.
She was wearing exquisite white armor, which, despite her recent encounter with Ned, remained flawless.
Her beauty and strength were undeniable.
However, the gloomy and thoughtful expression on her face somewhat spoiled her beauty.
The other five band members were also not in a good mood. The young man with the long black hair felt especially bad. His face expressed anger, and his black eyes burned with rage, as if he was looking for a way to vent his anger.
From time to time, his gaze fell on a small cage, inside of which lay unconscious a tiny red creature with four wings and several horns on its head. At the sight of this dragon, his anger increased, and he felt the urge to eat it.
His own Dark Dragon bloodline inside him was just crying out for it.
This only showed that the little dragon's bloodline was a level higher than his own. If he had swallowed this little dragon, his own bloodline would have risen a notch.
But no matter how much he wished for it, no matter how close the chance of strengthening was, he couldn't do it.
No, he wasn't allowed to do that.
Not only did he realize the value of the baby dragon, but so did everyone else.
Including the Guardian of Light, who locked the baby dragon in a cage and ordered the priest to keep an eye on him and not let anyone near the cage.
It was obvious that the Guardian of Light was going to use the baby dragon to her advantage.
And that made him very angry.
Soon, the Guardian of Light, who was dragging everyone with her Soul Force, suddenly stopped.
The others, lost in their own thoughts, were caught off guard.
Following the gaze of the Guardian of Light, they noticed in the distance a single flaming figure that was waiting for them on the way.
This figure had fiery red hair and eyes, and massive fiery wings spread out behind his back. He was dressed in the familiar robes of the Kingdom Guild and clutched a transparent crystal sword decorated with shining runes.
After taking a closer look, the Guardian of Light, becoming serious, took out a sparkling spear from her spatial storage. She mistook Idan for Ned because of their physical resemblance. Moreover, the fluctuations of their energies were almost identical.
Only the lack of a big smile on the guy's face seemed a little strange to the Guardian of Light.
As the group studied Idan, he studied them carefully.
Thanks to the information Ned had given him, he had a rough idea of what these people were capable of, especially the Guardian of Light.
"Here he is," Idan thought with relief when he saw the baby dragon in the cage the priest was holding.
"He seems to be unconscious."
After making sure that everything was fine with the dragon, Idan decided to act.
Suddenly, his body exploded into flames, which enveloped him in the blink of an eye, hiding him from the eyes of the Guardian of Light and the others.
The bright flash of a huge flame was visible even from a distant city.
The dense forest around them was instantly engulfed in flames, and the heat quickly reached the group.
When the flames dissipated, an incredible creature appeared in front of the Guardian of Light and the others, which was not only engulfed in flames, but also seemed to be the embodiment of flames.
"He's not the same as before," said the Guardian of Light, realizing that this was not the same young man she had already dealt with.
The feeling of power coming from this man was completely different. Unlike the one she had encountered earlier in the city, this guy exuded a powerful, focused force.
And most importantly, compared to before, this youth's strength was undoubtedly superior.
Not only she, but everyone else felt this difference in strength.
Idan, looking at their serious and wary faces, finally smiled.
"It looks like it worked," he said, pleased that he had managed to attract their attention to himself.
Then his gaze fell on a young man with long black hair and an angry expression on his face.
"That's what I need," Idan thought, gripping his sword tightly and activating one of the six bright runes, the rune of the Illusory Wind.
Suddenly, a light breeze blew in, fanning the entire group.
Idan rushed forward swiftly, and flames followed him, engulfing the forest below.
"Focus!" Guardian of Light shouted, stepping forward to meet Idan.
The blue-haired woman cast a {Tidal Wave} spell, and a huge magic circle appeared in front of her. A powerful wave of water burst out of it, flooding the dense forest below, protecting it from the approaching flames.
The Womskinner woman grinned and used her racial ability, a mental attack, on Idan.
Idan only flinched slightly, but he didn't stop.
From the information he received from Ned, he knew that there was a representative of the Womskinner race in the group. Knowing about the unpleasant and once troublesome mental attack of this race, Idan was ready for the meeting.
"It's a good thing I didn't forget to wear a pendant that protects against mental attacks," Idan thought with a grin, and his gaze landed on the guy with dark hair.
"Come on, act," he said.
And at that moment, the guy seemed to explode, releasing dark energy that scattered the whole group in different directions.
"Graaaaa!" the dragon roared furiously, and the guy began to transform into his true form.
This sudden transformation dispelled the "Soul Force" of the Guardian of Light, and all the other members of the group, except for the dark dragon and the Guardian herself, began to fall down.
The priest, who was holding the cage with the little dragon tightly, suddenly heard the voice of the Guardian of Light in his head as he fell down.:
"Throw the cage to me and go stop this madman."
"Okay," the priest nodded without any doubt.
"My Lady, catch it!" he shouted and threw the cage towards the Guardian of Light with force.
The Guardian, hearing the priest's voice, turned around and, seeing the abandoned cage, exclaimed:
"What are you doing?" — not understanding what's going on.
She tried to catch the cage with her Soul Force, but just then Idan swooped in and prevented her.
When the cage was already halfway through the air, a rift opened in its path, from which a snow-white fox emerged.
Deftly catching the cage with her paws, she disappeared back into the rift.
