Dragon King's Harem Chapter 77. The Rude Baron I
Realizing our fight had the huge potential to destroy our surroundings, Evelina used her Mana Barrier to protect the place around us. While Eir was also ready with his sword.
The Baron and his subordinates were still stunned from seeing my Blazing Orbs. Those 50 beautiful fire Orbs hovering around me illuminated the area around us like mini suns. They realized it wasn't a low-level skill even for the Dragon Tribe and since the Lizard Tribe had earth element Mana, my skill could defeat them easily. The only thing that bothered me was our location which was in the middle of the village. I had to control my fire skill well, or I would burn this village by accident. That's why I chose to use my Blazing Orb instead of my Flame Pillar because I could control it with my Telekinetic skill more easily. While Eir chose to fight using his sword to avoid the same consequences.
"A-Attack them!" said the Baron in a stammering voice. Although the subordinates looked hesitant, they stormed at us. Some of them used their Stone Control. The stones around them moved and launched towards me.
"Eir," I ordered in a calm tone.
Swiftly, Eir advanced, closing his distance to the several Lizardmen in front of him.
A clashing sound rang out as Eir's hand moved swiftly to parry the first attack with his sword. When the Lizardman's weapon bounced, Eir's other hand was aimed at his opponent's stomach. A ball of fire the size of a basketball shot out from his palm and hit the Lizardman's body.
"Ack!" That Lizardman was thrown and fell to the cold ground. His weapon slipped and he groaned in pain. His hand was holding his stomach, a thin layer of smoke was visible from where the attack landed. I was sure he would have a hard time getting up since it was an elemental critical hit. Also it would burn his skin and flesh pretty badly even with his thick armour.
Without a pause, the second and third attacks came at the same time, Eir dodged down, rolled forward between two of them and stood as he turned. Quickly, he swung his sword, creating a long diagonal cut on the back of one of them. Even though armour covered his body since Eir's sword was one of the Dragon Tribe's finest swords. The blade was so sharp that it was able to pierce and rip his opponent's back through the armour. Although the wound wasn't fatal, it was enough to immobilize the opponent. As another opponent turned around, another Fire Ball had come from Eir's palm. That Lizardman was thrown and fell to the ground. In just thirty seconds, Eir managed to knock out all three of his opponents. That's what made the real Argod appointed him as his assistant, even though Eir's level was not as high as the elite soldier or general, his swordsmanship was above them as well as his speed. He also mastered various types of magic elements skills that could allow him to fight all types of monsters and tribes.
Meanwhile, as the dozens of stones flew at me, I used my other skill.
[42 stones are in your control. ]
Those stones stopped in the mid-air and they gasped in shock. But not finished with their surprise, I returned the stones to them along with some of my Fire Orbs.
Quickly, they swung their weapons to ward off the stones and dodged my fire orbs. But I flicked my index finger and those fire orbs chased them. Shocked, they swung their weapons at those Orbs to destroy them or ward off them. Unexpectedly, those orbs dodged like agile flies avoiding mosquito rackets.
[Elemental Critical Hit!]
[You have burned a Lizard Tribe for 421 HP]
[You have burned a Lizard Tribe for 411 HP]
[You have burned a Lizard Tribe for 431 HP]
[You have burned a Lizard Tribe for 415 HP]
Since I didn't use my buff, my damage wasn't as high as usual. Other than that I only attacked each of them with an orb and they were wearing fire resistance armour. But my goal was not to kill them.
A groan of pain rang out as their bodies were burned by the flames of my orb. They rolled over on the cold street in a panic, trying to quell it.
"Ho..." I smirked as my gaze shifted to the Baron. My Orb hadn't landed on him since he used his Stone Wall to protect himself at the last second. Still, my Orb destroyed half the stone wall which was approximately 2 meters in size. The Baron's displeased face was visible from the big hole.
Without warning, he moved his hand upwards. I could feel the ground beneath my feet shaking. Quickly, I avoided it to the side. At the same time, a large spike about 2 meters high appeared from the ground, trying to pierce me. But the attack didn't stop there, the ground beneath my feet shook again. I moved to the front and another Spike emerged from there. Again, as a Spike almost appeared from beneath my feet, I dodged backwards. The Spike emerged from the ground and covered his sights to me.
- BRAK!
With one strong kick, I destroyed the spike, turning it into pieces of rocks that flew at him.
[You have hit an Earth Spike for 325 points]
As I expected, he was just about to use another skill, either his Stone Control or Stone Wall, which obviously broke his concentration. Without wasting my chance, I threw a few of my Fire Orbs at him.
An explosive sound came as several of my orbs shattered his new Stone Wall in an instant, one of them managed to land on him.
[Elemental Critical Hit!]
[You have burned a Lizard Tribe for 421 HP]
A groan of pain escaped his mouth as he rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames that burned his body. Still, he didn't want to give up... As the fire in his body went out, thanks to the snow, he stretched out his hand to use his Earth Spike again, but he was stiffened since the rest of my Fire Orbs had surrounded him.
"Do you still want to continue this fight?" I asked. There were over thirty of my Fire Orbs nearby and I was sure it was enough to kill him without giving him a chance to fight back. But I didn't want to do it. If I killed him now then the Lizard King would hold the entire village to account. So I had to keep him alive so he could report me and get the Lizard King to meet me in flesh.
Seeing the Orbs around him, the Baron's guts shrunk. He lowered his hand and returned to his feet.
"Pull back," he ordered in displeasure. His eyes were looking at me with the same look. All his subordinates retreated to his flanks following his orders.
"Good choice, Baron," I said as I cancelled the rest of my Blazing Orbs. I didn't call him 'My Lord' since even though I was in disguise, the dragon king's pride was too high to make me bend my knees or call others 'My Lord' or 'Your Majesty' or whatever it was that would demean me. Of course, except for what happened in the Ancestral Chamber because it was my own ancestor.
As my Orbs disappeared and the street turned dark, the Baron spoke again.
"You have attacked and injured another tribe's noble. I want to see--- How the Dragon Court handles this matter," he said as he held back his anger.
"And I want to see how your king handles this matter," I said in a casual tone. Since the Baron didn't know my identity, if he reported this to the Lizard King, I already knew how it would end.
"We'll see about that!" he said in an arrogant tone. After that, he walked into the Inn in a hurry, along with his subordinates. His eyes glared at me as soon as he passed by my side as if he was saying 'I will remember your face well'.
I replied with a smirk, I even let them see my face clearly. While Jyne and Evelina stepped aside as the Lizardmen passed them. After their defeat, they were no longer interested in my women anymore.
