"You will not be able to stop me today from killing your young master today!" Gorgon stated this and took out his sword, pointing it at Ian.
"Hmm, you are delusional if you think you are capable of doing so!" Ian retorted, his mana surging and enveloping his entire body. "You are mere garbage compared to our young master. You cannot even compare yourself to a strand of his hair."
In fact, a lot of people from the entire Astre continent regard those from outside their continent as lowly creatures, just like Noah said back then. It was not as bad as Noah's, but deep down they think they are more superior.
Hearing this, George suddenly stepped out and exclaimed, "You dare say such things to our Lord?!" Gorgon stretched out his left hand and placed it in front of George.
"George, stay back, he is a Peak Magister. Let me take care of this first before we proceed. You all will just be holding me back. Stay behind and wait for me."
"Are you lizards done talking?" Ian said mocking them. "I now know why the young master called you all lizards. Group of reptilian lookin asses."
What Ian just said instigated the anger of everyone on Gorgon's side.
Gorgon then swung his large sword toward Ian without any warning, but Ian was ready for it and dodged it.

Ian then activated a skill he created himself, which was oxygen combined with fire, making a white colored flame, and there was a wood attribute mixed with it that is stronger than diamond.
A wooden prison in the shape of a triangle was constructed, and the wood used was stronger than diamond. The prison burned with a white flame, which surrounded and engulfed Gorgon.
Due to his dragonic human physique he possesses great defense, he could withstand the attack for a while.
However, as he remained trapped, burn injuries started appearing on his skin.
Without hesitation, he released his aura once more, and it surged with overwhelming power, crushing the triangular prison into pieces.
With his body fully enhanced, he charged forward and unleashed a devastating skill known as the Royal Heavy Slash, sending a large wave of sword aura hurtling toward Ian.
Ian was hit by a powerful attack that blew away all the clouds behind him. Fortunately, Helix was positioned behind the clouds; otherwise, the Tier S ship would have been exposed.
Both were fighting in the sky, so it did not affect the people living in Tranquil City much, but they could feel the vibrations of the fight on the ground.
Ian raised his hand and manifested a wall of white flame to block his attack.
After blocking it, he released a bunch of toxic molecules of oxygen, which were then launched towards Gorgon and entered his body, causing him to spit out blood.
"Wh- What.. is this?" Gorgon said as he tried to figure out what Ian just did. Those people behind Gorgon, who were low ranking mages and swordsman were also affected, causing them to die instantly.
'What?! Aren't these lizards too weak? Ah, damn, the young master told me to just hold them off. I might end up killing them all at this point.' Ian thought as he gazed at the enemies in front of him.
"Is that all you have? What gave you the courage to attack Raverdieus with such little strength?"
If Fiona were here to witness this scene, she would most likely comment, like Father like son.
Hearing that Gorgon was being mocked again, his aura surged again, but blood could be seen gushing out of the small microscopic holes on his skin where the molecules of toxic oxygen entered.
Seeing this, Ian decided to go easy on them for now so as not to ruin his young master's plan. "Come!" Ian shouted.
Gorgon launched forward again, but this time Ian just kept dodging and did not go on the offensive. Gorgon sensed this, "You-you! Are you toying with me!"
Ian busted out laughing, 'AHHAHAH' "Are you a retard, slow, or just dense?"
The troops on Gorgon's side were enraged by this and could not tolerate it any longer. They decided to join Gorgon in the battle against the haughty enemy before them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven if it would result in their deaths, they wanted to at least protect their dignity.
There were only Great rank soldiers left on Gorgon's side because most of the weaker ones had been killed in Ian's attack earlier. There were those who also survived and stayed inside their ships.
They were also ready to utilize the ship to fight off Ian since they were unable to use their aura or mana to fly; they could only pilot the ship to help Gorgon.
Gorgon saw this and could not help but feel helpless, as he could not even avenge his son by himself and needed the help of others.
"There's no helping it." Gorgon said. "CHARGE!" As soon as his words fell, all. the soldiers rushed towards Ian.
But then Ian's tritonic device alarm suddenly rang. "Welp, I guess it is time for me to retreat." Ian muttered, then turned his back away from Gorgon and others and disappeared from their sight.
They all stopped, feeling bewildered by why he had just disappeared. They scanned their surroundings because they thought that Ian was planning a sneak attack.
In the end, they could not find his presence at all.
'It is time, the duke's armies should be arriving soon.' internally said by Zen who was staying inside his villa and watching the whole battle being recorded by his Tier S ship.
"Helix, it's time for you to shine!"
While Gorgon and others were still stunned in the sky, trying to figure out what was happening. Suddenly, a beam of light rushed towards them from behind them, shooting downwards.
"WHATTTT!!!!!"
