Lightning struck Jonn’s bde, f him back as he slid across the earth, the blue light illuminating his armour. He panted with effort, feeling the burn of his muscles, as well as the burn of the lightning. His metal armour did him no favours, already charred from the initial bst. He stared at the woman ahead of him, gripping Oathkeeper tight.

  She was a beautiful woman. Long, dark hair, almost bck, which parted around her horns. Her eyes were silver and blue, full of exhaustion, taken by a depression that weighed heavily even on Jonn’s shoulders.

  “I will block her,” Jonn said, while the woman raised her hands, readying to bst him with even more lightning.

  “You will not deny us hts!” Nirot replied, darting forward with her shield ahead of her, her axe gripped in hand. Her entire body filled with the heat e, and though she was swift, she was slowed down by a bst of lightning, which crackled against her shield.

  Faool and Bavin circled around from behind the young Iyrman, approag the Drakon woman, who let out another burst of lightning from her fiips, though instead of a beam of lightning, it came out in a e, which struck the pair. Faool dropped to the ground, hag from the blow, while Bavin mao step up towards her side, swinging his axe wildly.

  The axe cut into the woman’s side, but instead of meeting flesh, the axe met deep blue scales, and cttered off them. Faool, having mao gather himself, leapt up ahead of her, swinging his staff towards the woman, but she grabbed him by his throat. Lightning threateo sizzle the young Iyrman, when Jonn’s greatsword threateo cut apart her arm.

  She quickly dropped the boy and caught the sword in hand, and though Bavin aimed another blow to her side, she all but ig. Bavin, oher hand, was forced back by Jonn’s body, which the Drakon woman had tossed aside effortlessly.

  Nirot cshed with the woman, who caught her axe in hand. The Iyrman grit her teeth, trying to hack at her hands, but a bst of lightning forced her back. If she had been another person, even another Iyrman, she would have falle, she was not just any Iyrman, but a member of the Rot family, se resisted much of the lightning, and she leapt up, ready to fight again.

  The farmers stared at the fight between the powerful figures, clutg at their ons as their eyes darted arouween them all. Many great beings had fallen when surrounded by multiple creatures. The sayihat even a pack of wolves could kill a bear. However, this woman, whoever she was, was managing to toss the likes of Jonn, an adult Half Elf man in heavy armour, as if he was a toy.

  For a moment, it seemed like she would beat even Nirot down, before twrabbed the vicious woman from behind. The half charred body of Nobby grabbed her, his entire body red hot fre. His arms ed arouomach, aed his feet firmly into the earth, as though they were trunks of a tree. He lifted the , and in a rage induced suplex, smmed her into the ground.

  Rick was the first to move, charging forward with a bde in hand, while Greg and the others followed after him. John and Ivy, too, followed their panions, deg against using their bow and arrows since she would have been hard to hit with the mass of panions around her.

  Yet, even as they all outnumbered her, swinging their ons furiously down while she inned by Nobby, their ons cttered off of her scales. Even Nobby, with his great strength, couldn’t overpower her.

  She had already struobby previously with a bst of her lightning, almost taking him out without his rage. A dome of lightning exploded out from her, and Nobby’s arms loosened around her waist, while the farmers around her were bsted back. John and Ivy, the pair who were used to fighting from the back lines, were instantly taken out of the fray, while Greg, Charlie, and Rick were still up, though barely.

  Faool tried to stand, only for a wayward bolt of lightning to knock him unscious. Bavin charged forward, towards the half prone woman, trying to grab her the same way Nobby had. Yet, she punched him with such force, he fell to his knees. He willed his legs up to stand, but they weren’t listening to him, and the woman bsted out another wave of lightning, which crashed against the people ahead of her, causing others to fall, and sileng some forever.

  Nirot roared as she leapt up, crashing her axe against the woman’s side, but the Drakon unched her gut, causing the youo hack out blood. The teen Iyrman was then tossed aside by a casual kick, rolling across the earth, her axe almost slipping out of hand.

  She tried to stand when she saw the crackle of blue, threateo fell the young Iyrman, before a body of steel covered her. Jonn growled in pain as the lightning seared through his armour, marking his skin from under his armour, but he summoned forth his divine magiot the magic given to him by the Divine, but the magic which came from his vi.

  His bde shook, from the pain and magid he swung wildly with a cry. In his desperation, and with his vow to strike her down, he mao strike true, cutting across the woman’s shoulder, causio stumble. His bde fshed white hot, with divine magid if she had been the average Expert, she would have fallen to his mighty blow.

  “Go,” Jonn cried towards the young Iyrman, realising they were the only two still up. He mao shift his bde deeper against the wound in her shoulder, Oathkeeper fshing white hot, with divine magic. It was a Greater Enhanced greatsword, one which dealt greater damage when he was heavily wounded, and such a wound was emp his strikes. Yet, certain as he was that he would have killed even Adam with his attacks, the woman stood firm.

  The Drakon woman grabbed his bde to stop it from cutting her shoulder off, before she punched his jaw through his helmet, denting it. She punched him again, causing the Half Elf to drop. The farmers had fallen unscious, some even dying, while the teen Iyrmen were almost all unscious, and the t form of Nobby, who perhaps was the stro of the group, y still where she had oood.

  The Drakon woman raised her hands up, shifting the cloud above her, and lightning fell across Nirot, who had tried to hack at her leg, but she fell before her axe could reach flesh. Nirot panted, as she watched the Drakon woman began to asd slowly, lightning falling across her form, knitting together the split flesh at her shoulder, before she trated the lightning together within her hands, before aiming it towards the young Iyrman, the st to remain scious.

  A small bead struck the Drakon woman, exploding and engulfing her in fire, causio drop to the earth, awkwardly stumbling as she tried to keep herself up within the air.

  “Just whose Cousin are y to kill?” called a voice from the sky.

  You dare! C death!

  Also. Did anyone spot something weird in this chapter? Not that it was shorter than usual, but something else?
