"Don\'t look at them because you might accidentally get sliced into half." Arcaine appeared behind Ignius who had been spectating the short exchange from Onyx and the woman.

Ignius\'s pupils moved to the side and stared at the oncoming man without moving his head. "You won\'t be able to hurt me." He answered with his deep voice that sent chills to the hero\'s spine.

Arcaine gritted his teeth and still let his sword fall down towards the man but his weapon just bounced back and made him fly back. He managed to land on his leg and steady his body before he looked at the man. His eyes widened as he could distinctly see black scales appearing on the man\'s face.

A terrible premonition dawned on him as he saw those black scales. There was only one time that he had seen something like that. It was during that day when he took a mission to a town and it was also the first time that he met Rigel. Those dark scales only belonged to that black dragon.

Ignius could smell the fear and unease coming from the man. With that, he already knew that the man had an idea of who he was. His grin did not leave his face as he faced the man with his eyes glowing and his whole body covered in his black scales.

"Do you remember now?" Ignius growled as he appeared a few centimeters in front of the hero. His golden eyes were looking directly at his enemy\'s wide opened ones.

Arcaine was stunned for a while before he finally recovered and glared back at the man. He was not a different person from the one who defeated that dragon. He was now stronger and could actually fight. "Get away from me, monster." He swung his sword that was now infused with man.

Ignius disappeared and returned to where he was standing before. He raised his hand and touched his cheek where the sword grazed him. It was not that deep but there was a scratch in there. The hero wasn\'t intimidated anymore and it just made his dragon blood boil.

The dragon transformed his hand into dragon claws and attacked the man. Arcaine was using his sword to block the attacks but he couldn\'t move to counterattack because the dragon was relentless. Ignius did not stop because he wanted to know if the man really improved from last time.

Arcaine was getting pissed because he had no chance to even attack. To get his momentum back, instead of blocking the attacks he decided to dodge them and use that opportunity to attack. Since the attacks were concentrated above, he decided to duck.

The move was proven to be effective as the dragon slightly lost his balance when he hit air. Arcaine swung his sword from his ducked position and sliced horizontally which made the dragon step back. He managed to evade the attack but his clothes weren\'t spared.

His clothes were halved in two and it showed his abdomen that was also covered in scales. He looked at them with dismay but Arcaine did not give him time to ponder over it as he attacked again. He swung and stabbed his sword that was infused with mana towards the man.

Each attack was made to be fatal but because of a dragon\'s innate defense capabilities it was proven that it was difficult for him to give the man a wound. His sword was not a match for the dragon\'s defenses. Even the dragon\'s claws were difficult to break.

In his annoyance, Ignius swiped his claws from top to bottom without getting near his enemy. The action created a gush of wind that raced towards the man. Arcaine used his sword to block the attack. As he had thought, the wind was not ordinary because the force within it was so heavy that it pushed him back and created deep lines on the ground and on the walls behind him.

Arcaine took a deep breath because this will not be an easy fight for him. From the palace, the king watched as the fight continued. He couldn\'t deny that the people beside their enemy were all strong but he still hoped that they would be able to at least diminish that fighting power before the reinforcements came.

"Your reinforcements would be utterly late then," a voice that he was familiar with echoed inside the conference hall.

He looked back and he saw the man he was dreading to see. He was casually seated on the head of the council table and was looking at him with a grin. He had his legs crossed with his elbows resting on the chair\'s arms. His fingers were intertwined and his aura was creating pressure inside that wide room.

"I already know what you are planning so it is no use to hope for any help from the other kingdoms. By the time your son reaches and convinces the other kingdoms to help, Lunaira will already be destroyed." He declared with confidence that the king had a difficult time refuting his words.

"Then we will fight even if that will be the case." The king stood tall and looked him straight in the eye.

Several entered the hall from the entrances and exits, all of them had their weapons pointed towards him. The four generals and the four dukes were there. Archmage Sima and Lady Elvira were also there.

They were all there with one goal and that was to kill the cause of this all. Cygnus shook his head and sighed. He could all defeat them without even moving from where he was seated. They collectively attacked and brandished their weapons against the man. The archmage and the lady provided support by strengthening their physical abilities and defenses. They also imbued their weapons with magic and enhanced the effects of these weapons one hundred times.

The collective attack shook the palace and consequently destroyed the walls and the furniture inside the hall and yet their attacks did not connect. A red dome was surrounding the man and no matter how they pushed, the dome was unbreakable. Cygnus narrowed his eyes as he suddenly expanded the dome.

All of them who were attacking were pushed back with so much force that they flew and hit the walls and fell hard on the floor. The two supports were then attacked by ogres that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The hall became even more chaotic after that.

While all of that was happening, the king sneakily attacked in hopes of getting their enemy off-guard but he was wrong. Cygnus could feel his movements and the presence of that god-tier weapon he was holding. Something appeared behind the king and hit him on his side which sent him flying to the side.

Orpheus hit the wall harder causing the wall the crack and crumbled as he fell to the floor coughing out blood. He looked up and when he saw that the wall was about to fall on him, he still managed to dodge and roll to the side to avoid the falling pieces. He coughed out more blood as he looked at the place where the attack against him came from.

What he saw made his heart stop. It was a creature he had never seen before but the silhouette only and its appearance was enough to make anyone pass out due to fear. It was no wonder that the force behind that one slap was enough to give him some internal injuries and broke some of his bones. If not for the sword\'s blessing, he would have instantly died the moment he hit the wall. He was lucky.
