Armipotent
chapter-1398

Hemlin escaped from Rubia because a skeleton and a bear warrior came for her. He decided to leave instead of taking the chance to kill Rubia. From his perspective, it did not matter who won this battle because The Adventurer Guild would be the one who benefited from the result.

It was either The Temple got rid of the unknown variable that might break the peace in Aqura. Or this unknown variable would get rid of the oppressors which was also a good thing for the Adventurer Guild. He was not going to take a side. After escaping from Rubia, his plan was simple; save Parmes and leave this place right away.

He quickly returned to the area bulbed with black lava. The forest was gone as it was just a sea of black lava. He spotted his pupil, guarded by two figures; an undead knight and a monster knight. This was the first time he saw something like Karoen.

Judging that Tang Shaoyang left this monster knight to guard his pupil instead of chasing the God Rank from the Temple. He figured out that this monster knight might be the weakest among the summons. It troubled him that he could not sense their auras. It was the same for the undead knight. He could not feel anything from the undead knight who stood like a statue.

His figure blurred like a wind. Even though he suspected the monster knight and the undead knight might be weak, he was not going to take the risk to fight them. He thought of sneaking and leaving this place quietly.

The undead knight however sensed Hemlin. The undead knight was quick as it appeared next to Hemlin with its sword already in motion to slice Hemlin. Even though Hemlin was caught off guard, he reacted well to the sudden attack. He directed his right hand toward the undead knight and blasted the undead knight with a strong gale.

But then he sensed someone was above him. He quickly realized that the monster knight had also disappeared, and there was a portal opened where the monster knight stood.

Hemlin flipped over swiftly, and he was now above Karoen. He was about to grab the tentacle head and ground the head with his wind. However, he sensed a danger and decided to fly backward.

Swoosh!

A slash made of energy went past him as he backed away. He glanced toward where the undead knight was. He could not sense their aura, but he could see how strong that slash was. It could not kill him, but that was enough to hurt him.

Hemlin retreated to a safe distance instead of giving a second attempt to save his pupil, weighing his options. Of course, he had not given everything he had yet. He could save Parmes if he used everything, but it would not be easy. He was wary that Rubia might come back after him before he could save Parmes.

In his mind, Tang Shaoyang's summons should be weaker than the God Rank. It was just a matter of time for Rubia to defeat the skeleton and the bear. Seanic would also return soon. That dog monster should not be an issue for Seanic.

"It seems I have to go serious if I want to save my precious pupil," Hemlin stretched his hands. Just as he was about to make his move. He sensed a danger from behind him. He subconsciously moved to the side, but it was still too late. A slash cut through his entire left arm.

Hemlin reached his falling hand and looked back. He thought Seanic or Axel had already returned. To his surprise, it was not Axel or Seanic but a portal gate. The same portal gate the monster knight used to ambush him earlier. He then looked at the undead knight and found the same portal gate there.

The monster knight opened the portal gate, and the undead knight sent the slash through the portal. He failed to notice it because he was too engrossed in his own thoughts. Or to be more exact, he underestimated these two knights.

Hemlin let out a chuckle instead of getting mad. He took out a vial and chugged the whole vial into his vial. Then he put his hand back. In the blink of an eye, his left hand connected again, as if it had never cut.

"It's been a long time since my last fight. I am quite rusty, I guess. Let me have you two for a warm-up," Hemlin was about to use his Elemental Body when he noticed a shadow loomed over him.

His figure blurred into the wind and escaped from the shadow. He was not far away from his pupil, and he finally got to see what was above him. It was something he should not meet here, a dragon. His breath shortened at the sight of the dragon. Dragons rarely moved from their nest, and all dragons were in the Aidan Continent and Murelka Continent. The only dragon in Arkania Continent was the Black Dragon who had gone missing even before the Game. And yet, there was a dragon in the Arkania Continent. Not just a dragon, but also a dragon that he did not know of. The ash-blue dragon was not registered in his list, and yet it appeared here.

'Is he coming out because we made a ruckus near his nest?' That was the only thought in Hemlin's head.

Dragon was bad news even for the God Ranks. The dragon's rank did not really matter. Even him, a God Rank, must take a lot of effort to kill a Demi-God Dragon. He fought one of them in Murelka Continent where the demons summoned a young dragon, a Demi-God Dragon. He managed to kill it before it could cross to Aidan Continent. Of course, it was a feat that his friend knew about. He was not going to announce himself killing a dragon because it might create chaos.

Those fake Gods would not stay still until they killed him if they knew about it. They would feel threatened by him, and he would be hunted down even on his own turf. That was the reason he kept it secret, between him and Forlan. And yet, there was one that appeared in front of him right now. His instinct was telling him to escape immediately if he did not want to die. But it was too late to run because the dragon noticed him.

"It's not your prey. First come, first serve!" Hemlin made a mistake in assuming the dragon was a male dragon. He was glad that he had not spoken yet to the dragon. But then he listened to the weird argument, confusing in fact, "Also, haven't you heard the words "lady first"? That guy is my prey. There. You can have him!" The dragon pointed at him, and only then he saw another figure.

The familiar figure that got pulled into Axel's domain. He was shocked to see Tang Shaoyang returned this early, and also intact. Then he remembered there was a woman pulled into the domain as well with Tang Shaoyang.

'The dragon is a female….' Hemlin realized that the woman with Tang Shaoyang might be this dragon. His head buzzed as he got dizzy with the realization. The worst part was the woman was also one of Tang Shaoyang's summons.
