Chapter 522 The laughing Tornado
"What do you say? A deal?" Lilia stared at Arad, extending her hand for a shake.
"Deal," The two shook hands, and Lilia stared at Arad's face with a grin, "You recently faced Vlad. I can smell his magic on you,"
Arad could feel her grip on his hand tighten to an uncomfortable degree. Wasn't she a mage? Where is she pulling that much raw strength?
"That has nothing to do with this deal," Arad replied, tightening his grip, and before long, the two were actively trying to crush their hands.
"Constellation Taurus, that is your only offensive weapon against him. If you managed to find a way to resist his blood control." She giggled.
"What do you know?"
"Vlad is physically stronger than this body of mine. By almost twice," She smiled. In the blink of an eye, she pulled him by the arm and jumped, kicking Arad in the face and sending him flying back.
SWOSH! Gojo lunged at her, swinging a kick at her face.
Lifting her arm, she caught Gojo's leg with a grin and kicked him toward Arad.
Arad opened his eyes. His nose bled from her kick as the bones dug into his skull. "What happened?" He mumbled.
CRACK! Gojo crashed beside him, "Brother?"
Thud! Thud! Lilia lunged at them, and Gojo quickly stood, swinging a fist at her. TAP! Lilia deflected the punch with her palm, watching as a beam of pure light burst forth.
"GAAAAAA!" Gojo screamed, throwing punches at her like there was no tomorrow, but she kept weaving them all with a grin on her face, punching his face and chest.
Arad lunged in to help, but Lilia stared back at him with a crazed smile. She grabbed him by the hair, smacked him on the ground, and then hit Gojo with him, sending both brothers rolling on the ground.
"I'm only using half of my physical strength and speed. That means you aren't even a quarter of Vlad's martial strength." SWOSH! She ran toward them, swinging a kick.
Even after one minute, the two brothers still couldn't beat her and ended up beaten to a pulp.
Lilia carried Gojo, the last one still standing, and threw him over Arad, piling them like rocks and sitting over them.
"Two dragons and you couldn't beat a single midget," She giggled, "But don't get me wrong, you're strong." She stared at them with a smile.
"Weren't you supposed to be a mage?" Arad growled, barely able to move.
"You're right. I'm the second strongest mage of all time." She smiled, rubbing her nose, "But physically, this body doesn't rank that high. It probably doesn't even enter the top ten thousand named beings." She kicked Gojo in the head as she felt he was about to blast her with magic. "Don't even try,"
"GAH!" Gojo finally stopped moving.
"I'm weak, so is Vlad, and you two are even weaker. No matter how powerful you get, there is always someone better than you. Keep that in mind." She waved her hand, "You should get stronger,"
"We're trying," Arad replied.
"I know," She jumped from above them and landed beside the cursed metal wall. "You better hide this. It's too dangerous to leave outside."
The two brothers barely managed to stand.
"We aren't in Alina, are we?" Gojo growled.
"No, we aren't. I teleported us into one of my demi-planes. This is the place where I conduct experiments." She smiled, "By the way, I will be sending a few mages to kill you, so be careful."
"OI!" Arad screamed at her, "I thought you were going to stop!"
Lilia giggled, "Who said I'm going to stop? I might not need you two anymore, but I sure would love to keep a few rare void dragons."
"Those mages you're going to send." Gojo glared at her. They won't survive.
"I'm sending constructs and monsters, so feel free to kill them if you can." She waved her hand, and a human wizard appeared out of nowhere. "This is one of them, look," She pulled the man's arm off. He was entirely made of steel and magic.
"I want you two to grow strong enough to be useful," She tapped the golem's head, and its chest opened up, showing a glowing core of the cursed metal.
"A reward," She laughed.
"Why are you doing this?" Gojo glared at her, "Wizards never act without motives."
"Well," Lilia scratched her chin, "It's simply that the world is changing, and its great masters are trying to raise the new generation. We won't interfere with your business, like Vlad. That's yours to deal with. But, we will try guiding you in the right way as long as you prove to have potential."
"So we're just chickens that's your fattening up, right?" Arad sighed.
"I can at least tell you this," She smiled, "We aren't singling you two, there are tens of potential heroes out, and we're helping everyone. The new hero could be one of you two or someone else."
Arad touched the cursed metal wall, sucking it into his stomach. "Where is the money?" He asked.
"You change gears faster than me?" Lilia stared at him.
"We don't have a way to beat you, and I don't think I will get a better deal than this anywhere else." He stared at her, "For the time being, I can put up with you."
Lilia started floating, "You two aren't the strongest being we're watching, but aren't the weakest as well. Stand proud, you're strong." With a wave from her hand, she summoned a bag of coins and threw it to Arad. The golem wizard she conjured disappeared as well.
Arad and Gojo stared at her. Even though she was a mage, her physical prowess was far above them, this weird little thing.
"What are you? You don't smell like any other humanoid," Gojo could pick something strange from her, "Mana itself flies around you."
"I'm the half halfling, half-elf, half wizard half paladin, half caster half melee fighter. The archwizard of the mages' tower, Lilia, the laughing tornado." She flew, her hands on her hips as she stared at them with a smug smile. "Be amazed!"
"That's a lot of halves,"
"I know," She burst laughing, and the two brothers stared at her, confused.
The world around them changed as Lilia flew toward Cain, giggling as she landed in front of him.
As if time just started to move, Merlin's eyes opened wide, and she pointed her staff at Lilia, "Archwizard Lilia? What are you doing here?"
Lilia stared at her, "Took you long enough to wake up, but the important part is that you woke up on your own. Remember, you're post is always ready for you to return to the tower."
"I won't,"
"You're a wizard, Merlin. You'll come back," Lilia stared at her with a grin, but then Cain tapped her head with his cane.
"You're teasing them too much," He stared at her, and she laughed.
"Sorry," Lilia started flying, "See you later call me again," As she flew away, the people started moving and looking around.
