"Maybe it's just useless ones? That is why you don't know? I remember you fought at his side at that time."
"He is my brother. What do you expect? But since he was a child, he was just different, always keeping something to himself. We all thought it was just a phase, but who knows, it turned out to last till his final moment."
Alaric let out a deep sigh, "Anyway, let's go. You should have recovered enough."
Isolde nodded, as they talked, time had passed on. It's still not exactly five minutes, but she could recover it now as they moved.
Meanwhile, Luca and the group had already entered the city. They brandished their weapons, with Luca holding her sword and Seraphine using a handgun.
From the outside, the gun didn't look anything peculiar; it was a sleek black handgun carved with a unique pattern.
Seraphine didn't use it, though. She moved proficiently, following Luca in a way that ensured she wouldn't get hit by stray attacks.
Seeing the Dragari up close made Luca's pent-up anger explode. In the past, she couldn't do much as she needed to focus on bringing their kids out of the city.
All her attention was on the possibility of an ambush. But now, free from all the burden, she went wild. Many silhouettes came into her view.
Despite spending time focusing on her kids, this didn't mean Luca had forgotten all her resentment. She had spent much effort learning about their weaknesses and strengths.
A low-level Dragari that blocked her path now only had enhanced physical strength, with strong defense from their scales. They were no match for Luca in her current state.
Slash! Her sharp sword cut through their necks like tofu without any resistance.
Normally, they should have been able to raise their hands or weapons to parry the attack or, at the very least, move on instinct to dodge. But in front of Luca's eyes, all their movements were predicted. No matter how they moved, she already knew where they would be a few seconds ahead.
Her sword always hit their weakness: a weird form of scale on the back of their necks. The moment the sword touched it, the Dragari would feel weak and lose their strength.
Without any mercy, Luca massacred her way forward.
The high-level ones were now flying on their wyverns, looking down at the chaos in the city.
As for those of middle level, they were already busy fighting against the drugged humans. Despite being stronger, the humans beat the Dragari by not caring about their own wounds.
Even when their limbs were torn apart, it didn't stop their assault. They kept attacking with everything they had.
The trained ones used their weapons, while those with abilities kept unleashing them until they died. The large number of humans they had turned into pets in their city now bit them back.
Some distance away, a group of dark hunters had already gathered. They had been ordered to move here and stand by in case something happened.
Seeing the city in chaos, they quickly contacted their leader.
"Sir, the city is under attack now by another group of hunters. Should we proceed to move forward?"
"Another group of hunters? Tell me more in detail," the leader responded.
The guard on the other side began describing what happened. They contacted each other using a communicator they got from the lycan. It worked by linking to a specific device, making it like a wireless walkie-talkie.
The device had limited functions, but it came with the ability to make contact almost anywhere despite the environment.
The dark hunter explained everything: how the shield was blown up and a bright light of thunder hit the area. If the leader were closer, he would never have missed the thunderbolt since it was quite a spectacle. He had just heard some muffled explosions, something that was normal in this area as conflicts happened constantly.
"Proceed then. We will quickly go to your location," the leader said.
The dark hunters quickly made their move, adding to the chaos.
"Leader, should we go too? Since the chaos has already begun, there is no need to follow them anymore."
The leader ruminated on his choice, then said, "We will have two people follow them from a distance. As for us, let's go support the others.
This is a golden opportunity. Not only can we pillage their resources, but we could also remove them once and for all from this area."
The other hunters' eyes shone with determination while some flickered with anger. They were all eager to move quickly.
All this time, in their eyes, the Dragari city looked like an impregnable fortress, something they could not break. But now, finally, their patience had paid off.
Back in the city, thunder rumbled once more. Isolde, seeing the wyverns flying in the air, didn't let them just stay and watch.
She quickly cast lightning to hit them.
Aldric stayed at her side, making sure no one could disturb her casting. His specialty was close combat fighting, with power over kinetic energy.
The way Aldric used it was unique; he utilized the kinetic energy, making it vibrate to create a special field where all his opponents would get weakened. He also used a sword like Luca, but his sword was long.
It had only one sharp edge, with a length of around 1.8 meters (6 ft).
The creator of this sword was the same as the one who made Luca's; both could transform into something small that they could wear on their hands.
Luca's was in the form of a bracelet, while Aldric's was made into a ring.
Even though his sword was not as sharp as Luca's, by utilizing his ability, he created vibrations that moved quickly, making a small, precise invisible saw.
Sparks and blood flew in the air as he cleaved a few Dragari in one movement.
One of the Wyverns dived from the air at high speed, embers of flame coming out from its mouth. Aldric grinned and pointed his sword upward.
