Chapter 323 In the village of Dragons?
"I apologize. Mr. Aarick, but I am afraid I have to hold you down here… what you have shown is something we cannot just let go anymore," the head dragonling's eyes turned deep blue as he observed us.
"Should you really be targeting your sword towards a person with unknown power?" I tried to calm down the situation in my own way. Honestly, though, if not for the kid and the innocent bystanders, I probably wouldn't have minded going the hard way.
"He can use Time Magic," Aarick spoke out as he looked at me with a cheeky smile.
"Excuse me?" I narrowed my eyes at Aarick. Just where did that come from?
-Whoosh!
Using my foresight, I dodged an attack from behind. The head of the dragonlings was quite strong, wasn't he? If I don't use half my powers, I think he might be able to catch up to me.
-Whoosh!!
"Are you guys dumb?" I asked as I saw all of them coming at me with full force. There was no hesitation in their eyes, but this only made them more confused.
"You're gonna die so stupidly?" I dodged a couple more than I looked at the dragonlings surrounding me from everywhere, attacking as hurriedly as they could. Though seriously though… they were slow as f*ck.
'I am not even using [Warp!]' I sighed as I looked at them, attacking me relentlessly.
"He is not using any attack… he can't kill us! Whoever catches him gets to choose one of the treasures of the Dragonlings," the head shouted as he saw hope in me not attacking them.
"Hey, Aarick… are they for real?" I lost my reasons with them. It would be better to ask someone who actually has a head on his shoulders.
"You really want to know?" He chuckled as he found the situation funny. His eyes were deep red as he looked at those dragonlings… and then…
-BOOOM!!!!
He plumped one of them to the ground, killing him with a splash. The blue blood splattered on his face before it got absorbed into his body. The dragonlings looked at him with a shocked face.
"Hey! There are kids here. You think I couldn't kill them if I wanted to?" I asked with my eyes narrowed at him.
"Aarick. What is the meaning of this? Are you out of your mind?" The head dragonling spoke out with shock as he looked at his kin dying in front of him.
Though it didn't take anymore time to make me realize exactly what was going on… the dragonling whom Aarick killed suddenly appeared out of nowhere. His eyes glowed a little purplish before his body regained senses.
"You understand now?" Aarick spoke as he moved behind that dragonling again and…
-BOOOM!!!
Plummeted him into pieces again.
"They are immortals, huh?" I was surprised to see that. It was the first time I had seen an immortal being in front of me. So, were they all like that?
I looked at the dragonlings around me, smiling evilly as they looked at me. No wonder they didn't hesitate to throw their lives at me even after I showed such a difference.
"Now that you know that your situation is futile, will you be surrendering to us?" the head dragonling spoke out, making me sigh honestly.
"Why are you trying to be so desperate?" I asked as I looked at them.
"A treasure shouldn't speak but only obey," one of them shouted as he moved closer towards me as he swung his sword.
Though…
"Pretty dumb," I mumbled before I jumped above him and
-BOOOM!!!
Using all my strength, I punched into him, making him plummeted to the ground in an instant. I made sure he didn't die and only stays unconscious till I deal with the other ones.
"Well. It's not like we are staying here for long. I guess I can stretch my muscles a little," I mumbled as I began playing with those dragonlings. They were relentless, but not even close to making me sweat.
30 Minutes Later…
"It's not even a warm up," I said as I looked at all the dragonlings lying unconscious on the floor. I sighed before looking around, only to find Aarick missing from where he was. As for the other dragonlings who were non-combatants, they were also gone, making the area seem pretty much deserted.
"There is only about 10 minutes left. Just where could he have gone?" I mumbled as I wondered where I should head first.
-BOOOM!!!!
A bit away from here, a big blast resounded before the red smoke appeared in the sky. It was quite ominous looking to be fair.
"There you are," I spoke before moving in that direction. I wondered what that idiot is doing right now.
[Warp!]
I first warped in the air above to see a clear look at the village. The village was quite big to be honest. From a high view, it was easy to see that it was almost a town on its own. Though enough appreciation…
[Warp!]
I reached the place where the fight was breaking out. Landing on the roof of one of the houses, I observed the two sides.
On one side, we got the dragonlings glaring as much as they could. Their numbers seemed to be above 30 or something. While on the other side, there was Aarick standing, protecting the weakened Diaspora with a cheeky smile on his face.
[Warp!]
Warping behind Aarick, I looked at those men for a brief second. Then I looked at Aarick as I asked,'' What happened?"
"Well. They poisoned her with one of the most potent forms of poisons there is. Seems like I underestimated them a bit. I have put my antiserum in her body but it seems it still wasn't enough. Can you do something about it… no… I will leave that to you," Aarick chuckled without a care on his face.
Was it his trust in me or he didn't care about Diaspora at all? Nah. If he didn't care, he wouldn't have bothered trying to save her at all.
"Sir Michael… I apologize," Diaspora spoke as she looked at me before she added," I just wanted to-"
"To see your family? It's fine," I smiled as I looked at her, widening her eyes a little.
"Well. Seems like it was not what you were expecting… Well, reality could be disappointing in many ways." I looked at her bitter face before I patted her head.
'Since we are doing this… let's do it this way…' I smiled as I concentrated on Diaspora's own natural healing energy. While using Aarick's energy would have easily wiped the poison, but that wouldn't prevent any future events.
[Advanced Time Manipulation!]
And using this skill, I increased her regenerating capability. It wasn't focused on the ability to heal to be honest… but on the ability to fight stronger disease. This way, anything as strong as this poison shouldn't be a problem for her.
'Hmmmm… this is slow… ' I sighed as I added another one to it.
[Advanced Time Manipulation (Copy)!]
And thus the process gained another touch, with the strength of her regeneration increasing to an insane level. Though just to not make it grow cancerous, I made sure to evolve the necessary cells. Having Medical knowledge can be really helpful… though I am surprised.
'Despite being a dragon in human form, her anatomy and physiology is practically the same as humans,' I observed her before I noticed… the entire area had fallen silent.
Only then I noticed that even Aarick and Diaspora were looking at me with an incomprehensible face.
Ah! I overdid it again, huh?
