Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 26: Draconians and nix

"Boys? tch, Whatever I will check those shits out"

With a scowl, Jambulingam hastened out of the tent and peered at Nix like he was struck by lightning. While his armor seems tainted with blood signifying that he killed the elf woman after doing the deed.

"ahhhh"

On the other hand, the three women screamed at the same time in a chorus from the next tent.

Nix averted his eyes from Jambulingam and hurriedly Nix raised his sword and severed the chains that restrained the draconians.

"Tanngg"

With a sound, Tyga and Tundra were unchained. Tyga and Tundra looked at each other and bumped their fists.

They opened their mouths at the same time gazing at Jambulingam with their lips curved up.

"Let's show 'em what we got !"

They turned their eyes to Nix and spoke.

"Nix you take this guy we will take down those small fries."

His eyebrows shot up looking at the change in attitude.

'what's up with this attitude? it turned 360.'

He nodded his head and walked towards Jumbulingam and Jambulingam approached Nix with his battle stance he looked straight at Nix's eyes without wavering.

On the other hand, Nix was sweating feeling heavy pressure emitting from Jambulingam. They both glared straight at each other with high killing intent.

In terms of stat points, Nix is slightly higher than him while Jambulingam is further experienced and skilled than Nix. Now both were waiting for their opponent to make a move.

[Private ability: Doom prediction vision activated.]

Nix started to arouse his Mana and inserted it into his sword. While Jambulingam smirked at Nix with confidence. As he started to move a reddish mist formed surrounding Jumblingam's body and his sword caught in flame.

Jumbulingam clicked his tongue while placing the flaming sword on his shoulder mockingly.

"Tch, aren't going to make a move?"

" "

Nix took a defensive posture conveying that he should attack first. Jumbuligam understood that as a sign and sped towards him. Without even closing the distance Jambulingam Slashed at Nix's direction his sword unleashed a tremendous force mixed with sword energy and Fire.

Nix reflexively tried to block it but somehow managed to block but even though he blocked it he went flying towards a distance because of force and sword energy.

'What the hell is this ability?'

Nix crashed to a distance away. Clutching his sword he got up and rushed towards him and started crossing the sword with him.

Jumbulingam frowned.

"Pathetic"

" "

Nix's eyes started to emanate red glint; he started attacking recklessly and his swordsmanship was full of openings. Jumbulingam parried Nix and swung his sword.

"Swisshhhh"

Nix flew and crashed at a distance again.

***

At the same time, Tyga and Tundra arrived inside the tent and noticed the three women butt naked laying on the bloodied floor with their eyes wide open gazing up. Their throats were slain and their bodies were drenched in blood while blood went gushing out from their necks.

Tyga and Tundra immediately took their stance finding that it was to divert their attention. Suddenly two assassins pounced towards them with daggers emerging out of nowhere.

They kitted their attacks and grabbed them by their Necks and broke them in an instant like breaking a tree bark.

"shiiikk"

A fireball went towards both of them. Their hands became Red and their Scales emanated Red color both of them used their hands to block it in an instant and made out of the tent and found the mage pointing his staff at them. They grabbed the Daggers owned by the assassins and rushed towards him and stabbed and pierced his chest.

Soon, dozens of arrows went piercing the air towards them.

Tyga and Tundra yelled at the same instant.

"Restrain those arrows!"

Both the Draconians roused their mana to their hands and punched towards the air and their hands unleashed an explosion released from their hands.

"Boommm!"

The explosion resounded the whole area.

They both waited for the smoke to fade away to identify the archer. When the smoke faded away they found a figure running in the distance which shot arrow simultaneously.

"Look there, brother!"

They both started to breathe fire from their mouth and rushed towards the archer by flying on-air and burned him with their breath into a crisp and descended down to the sand with a satisfied grin on their face.

When they both turned their heads. They saw two figures battling each other in a distance.

Jumbulingam panted heavily.

"hah~hah, You are beginning to perceive a good foothold now? huh, Scum?"

" "

Nix didn't respond; he continued desperately fighting back. It seems Jambulingam started overestimating him. He was still alive because of the Doom prediction if not he would have died at the beginning.

"Clanng! clanngg!"

They both clashed their swords with each other producing sparks. One guy purely relied on his techniques while the other was solely relying on a single ability.

Jumbulingam appreciated it.

"hmm, you have good footwork and swordsmanship."

'This fucking guy!'

Nix was internally screaming.

Tyga and Tundra observed the fight standing in a distance. Tundra opened his mouth.

"Brother, should we help him?"

"Intervening in a warrior's battle will bring dishonor and hurts his pride. Every warrior strives for a hurdle and will succeed in it. Only then will he be called a warrior."

"Agreed brother."

"ahhhh"

Nix started screaming and began waving his sword and attacked like he was going mad. Jumbulingam used the openings he left and gave a deep cut on his shoulder and blood started to flow out. Nix gritted his teeth and endured the pain. They both were using their threshold energy to fight back.

Nix was in despair and Jumbulingam was tasting the same despair. Yes, Nix wasn't skilled but that didn't mean he would go down easily. He had a powerful ability that helped him survive all the ordeals since entering Empyrean. If he goes down easily that's all he was worth it.

They crossed their swords for an hour but still, there wasn't a victor and their movement started to slow down drastically. Suddenly Jumbulingam slightly started to go down and he closed his eye for a second.

'This is it'

A faint smile appeared on Nix's face and felt the satisfaction of cutting soft flesh while slashing his sword on Jumbulingam's neck. Blood splattered on Nix's face while he had a monstrous smile. He resembled someone who achieved something unachievable as he started laughing like a mad man.

"hahaha! Fucking victory!"

He sat on the bloodied sand and his torn clothes showed how immense the battle was. His body had several bruises and cuts showing how excruciating the battle was. Tyga and Tundra flew towards Nix.

Tyga opened his mouth with a smirk.

"That was exquisite Nix! what do you say, brother?"

He turned his gaze and looked at his brother. Tundra replied with a grin.

"Yep agreed"

Nix contemplated them and opened his mouth.

"Thanks for killing them and what happened to the women and elf woman?"

Tundra replied in a single word.

"Dead"

"I see"

Nix's face didn't show a hint of sadness. since they sold those women sold their bodies to survive. He didn't feel to give any respect to them. And he was disappointed that they didn't do something like seduce by tricking them and kill them but they were thots. So, he didn't care about them.

Tyga intervened.

"You remember the promise right?"

"yes, so what's the deal ?"

" First let's clean this mess up and talk about it later and we have to treat your injuries too."

"Hmm"

Nix stood up from that bloodied sand and began examining Jumbulingam's body and discovered a pouch that held twenty-five gold coins and a red vial. Nix turned to Tyga and Tundra who was looking at him like they are seeing trash.

Tyga opened his mouth.

"Nix please respect the dead"

Nix replied" You won't know my sufferings and I will give proper respect to them after looting. And what is this red vial?"

"Whatever this is regarded as disrespectful too if you did this to a draconian we would have sliced your head. The red vial is a healing potion it is highly potent if you sprinkle them on your wounds it would heal you a bit. "

Nix clicked his tongue.

"tch, okay! okay! I will just be satisfied with this."

And then they dragged all corpses by the sands. They even dragged the dead Krigons and Burned them with fire breath. Soon the sky became dark signifying its night and the vast desert became eerie silent while the flames danced with the breeze.

Nix and the Draconians sat near the burning corpses while feeling the chilly breeze. Nix Intently watched the burning fire under the moonlight running various thoughts on his mind.

'So what're their two conditions? They haven't answered me yet'

Nix turned to them and opened his mouth.

"So, What is the deal?"

Tyga and Tundra replied at the same time.

"A slaves Rescue mission from Barani!"

"What?"

Nix's face turned grim hearing their proposal.

"yes, and we are not asking this to you for free. We don't know about other races but, we Draconians will be grateful for what you are about to do and we will even sell our souls to save our Kin and the other captives."

'What nonsense are they spouting? Who needs your Souls? I just barely made it alive and now I need to do this?'

"And what's the other condition?"

"You will know about it after you rescue those slaves."

'They could have asked me to die that would have been more right,' Nix muttered to himself.
