Arad stared at them, his eyes flashing with bright purple flames. The bandit stared at him in shock, "A wyrmling?" One of them cried, lifting his crossbow.
BAM! A bolt flew directly at Arad's neck.
Thud! Arad waved his neck like a snake, dodging the bolt in the blink of an eye. CRACK! Using his powerful hindlegs, he leaped up.
FLAP! FLAP! His wings were too weak to lift him to the sky, but that didn't prevent them from helping him reach the top of a tree.
"Wyrmlings can't fly. Drop the beast to the ground!" The bandits screamed. The one who yelled lifted his axe, throwing it directly at Arad.
CLANG! With a single wing swing, Arad deflected the axe and leaped to the next tree behind the bandits.
All the bandits immediately turned around, aiming their crossbows.
PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW! PEW!
Eight bolts flew at Arad simultaneously. Thud! But he leaped at the bandits, dodging all the bolts except one that bounced off his head, broken.
GRWAAAA! With a roar, Arad swung his front-left claw at one of the bandits. SPLAT! Arad's claw passed right through the bandit's armor and tore into his chest, splitting the lungs apart. The man died on the spot.
Before the bandits could process what happened, Arad opened his mouth. In the blink of an eye, the bandit's vision blurred with a loud crackling sound. CRACK! KA-BOOM!
The four bandits who stood in front of Arad's breath got blasted away without even seeing what his breath was. Their bodies tore apart, and their limbs shattered.
CRACK! From the back, a bandit who carried a massive tower shield survived the breath. He clenched his teeth and glared at Arad.
The bandit saw nothing. Arad's breath was a long cone of black emptiness.
The breath itself wasn't what killed the bandits. The breath merely erased everything in its bath, and when the air came to fill the gap, it caused a powerful shockwave.
"This thing isn't a black dragon!" The bandit cried, "It breathed a strange dark magic."
THUD! Arad rushed ahead. [You can't repeatedly breathe. At least when you're a wyrmling. Charge at them, and don't worry about their weapons.]
The bandit lifted threw his shield and wielded his longsword with two hands, "Like all wyrmlings, you need to charge your breath." The bandit smiled, swinging his sword at Arad.
Thud! Arad leaped above the sword like a cat, swinging his claw at the bandit.
The bandit tried to dodge, but he lost his ear. "You move like a feline." The bandit growled, swinging his sword at Arad.
Arad was inclined to dodge, but Mom stopped him, [Take the hit!] He worked by her advice and didn't dodge it.
The moment the sword hit his scales, it produced a loud ringing sound.
TINGGI! CRACK! The blade shattered, and the shards sunk into Arad's Void.
[Weapons unprotected with magic can barely withstand the pressure of a void dragon's body. You took one point of damage, but his weapon is gone.]
ROOAAAR! Arad opened his jaw at the bandit.
Thud! The bandit leaped away, grabbing his tower shield and smiling, "A breath is coming. Aim at his back!" He yelled his lungs out.
As the bandit braced himself, something strange emerged from Arad's mouth. A bright flash with a massive wave of heat.
[Firebolt; Level 3; R3][Firebolt; Level 3; R3][Firebolt; Level 3; R3]
"White flames?" The bandit gasped as a blast of inferno scorched him.
The bandits couldn't tell if it was one breath or multiple hits. To them, Arad breathed a gust of white flames.
All the bandits in the back gasped, "Is this a mere wyrmling?"
"Idiots! Dragons are kingdom-destroying monsters, don't underestimate a wyrmling." One bandit screamed.
"He's right!" Another one shouted, rushing ahead and leaping over the bushes. After rolling, he lifted the crossbow and aimed at the injured Aella.
"You ambushed us before we took her. Is she your prey?" The bandit smirked.
Dragons are prideful creatures. It was common knowledge that touching their prey was a sure way to get a dragon angry.
PEW! The bandit fired the bolt.
Arad saw it rushing, he was too far away to run, but he still had a trick. The teleportation.
ZON! In an instant, Arad's body disappeared silently. CLANG! He then beside Aella, deflecting the bolt with his wing.
"He wants the girl!" A bandit yelled.
"Move back slowly. The dragon might calm as long as we move away from the girl." The bandits started taking slow steps to the back.
"Here is it, boy. We're leaving your prey alone." A bandit said, "We will not disturb your meal any further. Let's end this peacefully."
Especially after seeing him teleport, they knew this Wyrmling was abnormal.
[Don't let a single one leave alive.]
ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Arad roared, shaking the forest again.
Aella clogged her ears as she felt her eardrums about to explode.

Running from the city, Alcott rushed faster than a horse, his blade in hand and his eyes set on the forest.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
Each of his heavy steps tore a chunk of the ground.
BAM! with a single jump, he leaped into the top of a tree.
BAM! BAM! He leaped from one tree to the other.
ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
He heard Arad's second roar, his face tensed up, and his forehead started sweating, "Please don't die on me. I don't want to deal with an angry mother."
ZON! Arad teleported into the middle of the bandits, swinging his claw.
SLASH! His claws sunk into the flesh of one of the bandits. GRWAA! The man cried.
THUD! THUD! Two bandits surrounded Arad; one swung a mace, and the other a machete.
Arad waved his body like a snake, twisting his spine and torso to evade the attack, and at the same time, he slammed one of the bandits on the leg with his tail.
CRACK! The bandit fell on the ground where Arad stomped him.
BAM! The other bandit kicked Arad in the guts, and his leg broke upon contact, but Arad felt the hit.
Aella forced herself to stand, grabbing one of the bandit knives and stabbing him in the neck.
Arad looked at her. A bandit was about to slash her back.
ZON! Arad teleported behind Aella and opened his jaw.
CRACK! KA-BOOM! A void breath blasted the bandit away, and the secondary shockwave pulled the other bandits.
Without a moment's rest, Arad opened his jaw again.
[Firebolt; Level 3; R3][Firebolt; Level 3; R3][Firebolt; Level 3; R3][Firebolt; Level 3; R3][Firebolt; Level 3; R3][Firebolt; Level 3; R3][Firebolt; Level 3; R3] [Firebolt; Level 3; R3]
One after the other, Arad started blasting like a machine gun of magic. The bandits caught in his range ended up scorched white the rest hid behind the trees.
As Arad closed his mouth, one of the bandits rushed in and punched Aella in the face. "Let's separate them. I will handle the elf bitch!"
Hearing him, the remaining bandits surrounded Arad.
The bandit rushed at Aella swinging a second punch at her face. She took a stance and deflected his fist, retaliating with a kick.
The bandit grabbed her leg and kicked her in the face. But she didn't flinch. THUD! She leaped up, twisting her torso on his leg, and kicked his face. freewebnovel(.)com
The bandit rolled away. He lost balance using two legs, and her surprise kick got him nicely in the nose.
The bandit immediately stood and blew the blood from his nose, "I like me a girl who can kick my ass. You're mine after this."
Aella growled. Her broken leg and dislocated shoulder are weighing her too much.
"AGRAA!" She screamed, charging in with a punch, but the bandit pulled his one-handed axe.
Aella pulled her fist at the last moment before he could cut it.
"Suprise girl, give up!" The bandit screamed.
ROOOOAAAAR! Arad roared in the back, trying to find an opening to rush to her.
THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!
From one tree to another, Alcott leaped until he saw the battlefield, his vision locked on the bandit swinging his axe at Aella.
CRACK!
It all took less than blinking.
Alcott fell from the tree with a downward swing, and the bandit's axe exploded, his body cut in half from head to groin.
Alcott grabbed his sword, glaring forward like a monster. [Action Surge] [Adrenaline Rush] [Actrion Surge]
CLAP! Alcott flashed through the bandits, leaving a blast where he stood.
SLASH! SLASH!SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
When Alcott faced Arad before, he stated that he could reach a speed of four slashes in one second. That was without using skills.
Alcott can attack four times in one second, and with an action surge, it doubles to eight. Adrenaline rush gives him another chance to attack, and he can double with his second Action surge.
In total, Alcott ended with sixteen attacks in one second. That was enough to kill all the remaining bandits before they could realize it.
When Alcott landed after the second ended, a loud boom roared, causing Aella to fall to the ground covering her ears. The sound was generated by his blade slashing through their armor and bones.
