Twilight of a Hybrid, стр. 89

Valverno quickly charged downwind from his high altitude, still having his vengeful eyes on Belverda. His mind wasn’t focus on anyone but Belverda. With the Crystal Sword in his hand, he broke it into two halves. He wasd ready to slice up a despicable witch, who he planned on to end with two swords and his dragon fire.

Valverno landed into the ground right above Belverda and swung down his duel-wielding swords. “Now you die, old witch!”

Belverda was quick enough to block Valverno’s attack. Though she blocked Valverno’s attack, she couldn’t help but see Valverno exhaling out fire from his mouth.

Before Valverno’s fire could scorch Belverda’s hands touching the staff, King Uragiru launched a sneak attack from Valverno’s back. This made Valverno withdrew his fire attack from Belverda and breathed it out at the king instead.

Valverno unleashed his dragon fire at the king in the hottest, steaming, smoking way the fire could get. Very hot enough to incinerate a human body to statue-like state like a body molded by volcanic smoke erupting from a volcano.

King Uragiru held a long broadsword with the steel blade glimmering of bronze and silver and a golden hilt of a crescent moon with diamonds curved-in and a bear’s head as the pommel. With this sword, the king sliced through Valverno’s dragon fire.

Valverno swung the sword from his left hand to an oncoming mad king with a magic sword the king has. This sudden distraction gave Belverda to roll away from Valverno’s other sword blunting on her staff.

The witch rolled away far enough from Valverno’s gaze as he focused on the king. As she got up, she pointed her staff at Valverno’s back and casted a green ball.

Valverno flapped a wing and blown away the green ball if it was just a puff of a cloud. Valverno spun his body half way, with his tail trying to whip at the king but jumped away from the whipping tail. His head had spun and charged toward Belverda with two swords aiming at her.

At far behind him, the king followed. King Uragiru caught up with Valverno as he slashed one sword to the witch and the other to the king.

Valverno found himself fighting one-on-two. Belverda swung her staff like a spear and casted out many magic spells at once while King Uragiru was fighting like a young man. Valverno used his wings to cover his upper torso from Belverda’s magic spells and used his dual-wielding swords against her every time he wanted to cut her down.

Not just taking on two people, but two old people with lots of heavy experience in doing battle. With his whipping tail and his flapping-and-folding wings, Valverno couldn’t bring to land a scratch on his two opponents.

And every power he conjured to injure his enemies ends up not hurting them. His power was two-thirds restored and that kind of power could be enough to take down his two enemies he was longing to take down.

But they did seem to have enough experience in dealing with enemies holding skills with a sword and skilled in the art of magic. For the moment, he was fighting against the two fallen people now fighting for an ancient darkness and he was equally skilled as they were.

He could see another reason why he wasn’t taking the duo down very easily. He didn’t to unleash his divine power upon the duo. The divine power he used when he fought with the Five-Headed Dragon; his battle with the giant lizard left quite a large and wide landmark of torn mountain terrains and a few valleys.

Valverno’s battle with the large beast was like an earthquake and no civilians were killed during the battle. If he would unleash his godlike power at the current moment, he would crush the entire capital city down, and its people living in the city. Basically, he would destroy the entire city with his power.

Valverno didn’t want to risk bringing down an entire city, and due to his change of appearance, he would be remembered as a monstrous, power-hungry hybrid trying to kill the king. He would be placing himself as the island’s tyrant; he would become a reimaging of Lusìvar, in a human dragon hybrid form.

“Heads up, Valverno,” said Geraldus voice.

Valverno rolled away from King Uragiru so Geraldus could take the fight away from him, so Valverno could focus on the witch.

When Geraldus landed in front of the king, the evil king swung his sword at Geraldus’s neck. Geraldus suddenly grabbed the king’s sword in one hand, taking the king by surprise of his sword was caught by the blade in the palm of one man that should have been sliced through.

“Geraldus, what are you?” asked the king.

Geraldus had reverted to his White Knight’s armor uniform. “You kept a secret from as I have kept a secret from you,” said Geraldus. “I am the current White Knight of Loyalty, descended from the bloodline of Herus: the original White Knight of Loyalty.”

“What?”

“You heard me, your Highness; I am a White Knight, the protectors and teachers from old times. They are the ancient followers of Valverno, therefore I am a follower of the demigod, no matter what side he is on or unless he switches sides to Lusìvar. I loyal not to a single demigod but to the people living on the island, and it is my sworn duty to protect the people from any tyranny, if it means you, my old friend.”

Geraldus head-butted the king and sent his old friend all the way toward the far wall. Ironically, where the king’s throne stood before the king flung it at Geraldus.

Valverno heard the king’s impacting into the wall and now he had to deal with the witch. Smiling, Valverno flew into the air and aimed his eyes and the two swords at Belverda, who had a small barrier defending her entire body.

“NOW YOU DIE!”

Suddenly, Belverda smirked.

Valverno’s eyes had widened, as he suddenly smelt a familiar odor, and he smelt it coming from above. While Valverno looked
