Alan did his best to steady his hands Falco columbarius ! ? THE MERLIN ? What in the hell was going on ? Was there truth in almost all of the old caption ? Laughing hesitatingly Alan looked closer at the man, ok maybe there was a ... little resemblance to the man of caption.

'' wait, wait, wait, '' Alan started out, `` you 're The Merlin ? King Arthur ? Camelot and the turn table ? All of that ? ''

'' Well yes, is there another magic substance abuser on earth called Merlin ? '' The man smirked, though it was voiceless to tell with the hanker increment of byssus the man had.

Alan stopped and turned toward Hopix, `` I thought you said that the solid ground now has a dampening effect on all trick users ? That was the reason I could n't ... ''

'' A dampening effect ? Only on Magic exploiter ? '' The man was saying as he tried to sit up still stiff from not having moved in over a thousand years. `` Sounds suspiciously like what happened in my time. That bitch Morgan le Fay was learning conjuration at an alarming rate. I found out later that she was seduced by promises of the dingy council. ''

Alan had stopped for a moment causing Merlin to turn and see the look of pain sensation and keen misgiving on Alan 's look.

'' Ah I see that you are well acquainted with them ! A actual nasty lot for for certain. '' merlin stared at Alan harder a consequence longer then nodded, `` So you know how properly to deal with them I see, and the fact that you caught them in a lie, and used that against them was mastermind my boy. Though I would caution you not to do it too often they always seem to find a way to change state the mesa on you I know for a fact as you can see. Oh yes, this was their work. ''

The hale time Alan was taking in every word the man was saying he had been at this far foresighted than he had and with less great power to boot ! `` I 've been told you came here a very hanker time ago, '' Alan told the man. `` As outnumbered as you are you think that the white council would have helped. ''

Here the man lowered his point, `` I 'm afraid that they did n't sleep together at the time 'til it was almost too recent. By the sentence they placed me in the chamber, the satellite was already in the hands of the dark council. I am afraid it was all they could do, had they taken me they would have been in assault of their own rules they set down. ''

Alan could only smile he was really starting to like this man ! He 'd go on the council in the dark. Hell yeah Alan had to learn how to do that, maybe then the assholes would n't do that to him again.

Merlin could only smile he could almost see the idea that the unseasoned man had going through his head teacher. It might be good to teach the man some of his tricks, might get to his job well-heeled and a lot more fun that 's for surely !

'' So my undecomposed man though almost all the hurting is gone I still ca n't take the air, bum leg and all. '' Merlin informed Alan. Alan nodded and started back healing the leg within minutes the man was almost unharmed again. Standing the man patted Alan on the backrest, `` Thank you my good man now,"Merlin slapped his hands together rubbing them together. `` It 's time to get back to body of work ! ''

Alan passed a hand over Merlin effectively freezing the man. `` I think not merlin ; I just brought you back from near decease. I 'm not about to let you try and temp fate again ok ? Stay here for a bit I 'll go pop a few then we 'll talk ok ? ''

'' You 're a damn certain fire, cocky bastard are n't you ? '' Merlin pettifoggery at Alan.

Alan stopped a minute then turned to Merlin with a vast smile on his brass, `` Yes, you might say that, I have to be or I 'd most definitely be perfectly right now. Just hitch here and rest you have n't been out there in a very farsighted time the niggling I have done today has barely affected the proportion on this world. '' Alan walked up to Merlin and with a deadly dangerous smell told the older man, `` I damn sure intend to change that ! ''

merlin watched as Alan walked away, a full smile crossing his boldness, so it was true ! The one had finally been born and arrived. Sighing Merlin sat down if the man actually could toss off a few more than then they had a chance. With the removal of the feeble twelve plus their prentice Alan might not feel a remainder but he about definitely could.

Alan and Hopix exited the underground cavern ; Alan stood there a moment wondering who he should go after.

'' Hey asshole ! '' Alan heard from behind him, ( again ? ! ) A powerhouse bounced off his carapace.

Well that solved that problem, `` Ok, here 's the good deal, you can exit or persist and die ! Your choice. '' Alan could finger another what ? 20 ? 30 ? They too felt as pathetic as those before. must have sent their apprentices again. Shaking his headland Alan just extended his arm then lifted it, might as well see who he was killing. As the 30 dead body flailed about in the air Alan again repeat his earlier warning. `` Same passel, stay and die. Well ? ''

All of the 30 began to spue, and nemesis at him in several languages, nodding with a sigh Alan closed his helping hand and all 30 popped out of existence. The one that had fired at Alan started to blubber and scurry away. Alan made a whip movement and the last dropped utterly. `` Damn it ! The pouf are sending their apprentices out after me. They obviously think I am like Merlin and am weakening. I put the remaining 87 of you on poster I am coming for you ! Do n't ... '' Alan started when there were several bolt of electricity that hit his buckler, about fourth dimension ! Alan thought.

'' You wanted us asshole we 're here think you can subscribe all of us ? We are n't the weak pathetic beast you have faced before, '' came a vocalism behind a mound.

'' So are we going to see each early ? Or are you going to hide ? I actually like to see who the hell I kill when I eradicate virtuous evil ! '' Alan said as he made a flattening motion and the hill was as vapid as the farming around it. Behind it were respective slimy orange blobs and a few fauna that reminded Alan of marauder walking on two wooden leg.

'' Ha you are so dead ! We are nothing compared to our parents ! '' One of the orange blobs spit at Alan.

'' undecomposed ! I am tired of dealing with weak examples of those that are in power here ! '' With that Alan waved a hired hand and the ten in front of him simply screamed then vanished into a debris. Damn ! Alan thought even when they are deadened they are dirtying up the lieu ! Alan heard a gasp then he felt Hopix 's major power skyrocket suddenly there was a scream then Hopix was rushing to his position.

'' I ... I ... killed one Alan oh god ! I think I am going to be sick ! '' Hopix said when she reached him. Really ? With all that they had been through and she was n't upset 'til she killed one ? Shaking his head Alan looked out at all the station he could feel the others hiding.

'' Ok, same stack as before as always. You leave you live, stay here and get slaughtered. There are only nineteen of you left. I took out ten of you easily you nineteen really call back you are unattackable enough to defeat me ? As I said leave and live halt and well ... you 'll be utterly soon so guess it does n't matter. I 'll give you a minute that 's all. '' Alan did n't really expect them to render up but he was always honest he had to generate them a chance.

A few moments later all nineteen advanced on Alan firing a variety of different bolts, Wave, and yes ( sigh ) fireball. Alan could only smirk when he really did n't even feel them hitting his carapace ; well he gave them a chance.

Slashing at his throat eight fell bleeding from their throats, undaunted the others renewed their flack. Sighing at how stupe they were Alan crushed another five watching the others walk over the screaming corpses. The go six were definitely in a high category of mage ; smiling Alan threw various tongue shaped bolt of lightning at all five. After four of the remaining six went down Alan nodded, so these were n't just weak one any more, dear !

'' I see we are found out, no matter, '' one of the last two said. `` Now experience true power ! '' With that a Brobdingnagian dash of ice and frigid frigidness struck his shield. On the early side a huge Wave of water system fell on his shield freezing solid in a simple second. Alan nodded not bad he was near 1/2 power barely enough for his power to grow a little. Smiling though they did n't need to get laid that.

Outside the water system user was laughing, '' he 'll never escape that ! No one freezes as deeply as you ! He 'll be dead long ... '' there was a slim cracking strait then the ice exploded outwards sending thousands of razor precipitous shard away from Alan.

The piddle drug user screamed and tried to flash out but was caught by 1000 or more of the shards as they shredded piece of his chest, and the rest of the in good order side of meat of his body. The ice wielder just smiled as he absorbed the ice that flew at him. So this was no wimp they had sent an actual mage not a fake like the last one he 'd nearly killed. proficient it would be actually be a challenge ! Flashing out before Alan had a authorize line of raft on him, Alan cursed when he saw that the last one had gotten away.

Hopix curled up next to Alan teardrop falling from her optic. Looking at her he held her confining and waited, he knew they should be alone before yearn they always were. It seemed that as a byproduct of defeating them the slaves that they had held on to were brought to where he was. Sure enough a few moment later a rather bombastic passel of daze and confuse group of the Lobrits appeared.

Alan waved both of his arms creating a small city that had once stood here, and then came the process of clearing them though as he 'd thought before it was getting easier to do turgid and larger groups. Alan could see that there were about 5000 almost twice what he 'd done hold out time, reaching out he did the first thousand with no trouble the same with the second and third base thousand, He was one-half way through the last 2000 when he began to get hold those that refused the freedom he offered. He was already at 150 and the number was starting to climb.

'' Damn it ! Hopix this is going to charter farsighted than I want to. I 'm already at over 200 that want to remain a slave to these assholes ! '' Alan told Hopix with an exasperated sigh.

Once he hit 500 he shook his headspring and sent a shock wave out through those that were left. Well over half of those left fell jolt and shrieking. Alan cleared the balance and sent them to the rest of those in the city. In all Alan counted 988 that had refused to let go and take freedom.

Alan was suddenly tired, tired of fighting these assholes, tired of no spirit, Scheol he was just tired of being tired ! Looking around Alan started to post those that were there on the footing to other areas.

Looking at Hopix Alan nodded that he was done. Hopix could see the bone weariness in his eyes ; they had been at this for over a month now almost non - diaphragm. Even she had to admit she was starting to develop weary with the ceaseless scrap, concealing, and freeing of dissimilar reality. When it was her world she had been tireless now she was just fag.

Alan flashed them back to the underground chancel, even the warriors who had come to receive them stood back. They knew some of what Alan and Hopix had been through, though they sympathized there was far too much at stake for them to rest. Much as when Hopix had been trying to give up her world, they did n't have time to be tired or exhausted.

Alan walked into where merlin was resting taking a cot on the other face of the room. Laying down a punishing sigh escaped his lips. Though not as powerful as Alan, Merlin could realise and find that Alan was exhausted more than than he wanted to include. Especially after today, Falco columbarius had felt Alan come up against the last one he 'd fought.

Reaching out Merlin could now truly experience the balance of the planet starting to shift. Though he 'd taken out forty-one nearly one-half of those here, he 'd only gotten five of the middle strength mages. The fifty-nine that were left would n't be a walk in the forest that was for for sure. Smiling Merlin could see quite a lot from the mighty young mage including the lovemaking he had for a sure young Fairixie, yes this was very interesting !

Merlin walked out through the endorse door he 'd made well over a thousand years ago. True he was n't as unassailable but he had a brain and more than a few tricks that he could use to get some of them. Damn that young mage anyway this had been his delegation and by the great mightiness of the cosmos he was going to see it through. Besides he 'd already beak up a little of the ability that the young mage Alan had. He could already feel his king slowly increasing, not a lot, but possibly enough to keep back him alive foresighted at to the lowest degree 'til Alan was feeling better. Kneeling extraneous Merlin prayed to an ancient named power that he 'd make it and one day get to see his wondrous Glimmer again.

Making his way pigeon hawk set a low shell around his self, Ah ! Good it was as he thought even low power helps to increase it courteous ability the young mage had. No wonder he was so tired to get where he is now he 'd have to have been going for well over a month straight ! Hell even he 'd be exhausted after a month of that much intensity !

Merlin approached the middle floor mage 's home, I just hope I do n't muck up this up Merlin thought any I take out should assist the young mage.

Merlin had lowered all his might but had them set to snap up at a moment's poster, hmmm even pushing his power down was causing them to slightly increase. My, Merlin thought, I keep this up and I should be middle stratum mage in no meter ! Knocking at the ... Merlin guessed it was a room access he felt a fallible powerfulness approaching.

The ... threshold opened an ant shaped creature gasped then died in a formal of flame. There was a rasping strait as pigeon hawk hid then another openhanded ant looking wight appeared beside the ashes.

'' This was no accident but I feel no one here, strange the idiot must have been practicing his ..."Falco columbarius hit the creature with everything he had. Screaming the brute tried too late to erect a shield, then withered as the fire quickly ate the creature up. Smiling Merlin thought well that helps but I better go ! A here and now later Merlin was 1000 thousand away. What ! He 'd never been able-bodied to come up More than 100 foot ! What had he gotten from the Whitney Young mage ? Though commonplace Falco columbarius thought of getting away again and was another 1000 yards further !

Merlin walked back in the hind door and lay down, god he was tired that had taken so much out of him but he could experience various of his ability now at eye level. Finally he could do more than just play tricks the motherfucker ! Merlin closed his eyes he had to catch one's breath he still was n't used to the amount of power his body had produced.

An hr later Alan awoke, god that had helped so a lot ! Checking on merlin he could see that the man was still exhausted from his ordeal. Alan had been hoping to take him out today so the man could show him some of the tricks that had kept him alive. Shrugging Alan walked out to find that many of the Lobrits there were excited, it seemed that hold out Night one of the wickedness Triacaries had been killed without raising an dismay, and there had been no sign of a struggle or struggle. The other Triacaries were as baffled as the Lobrits were.

Many looked at Alan but they all knew that he 'd been resting concluding nighttime worn out from all that he 'd done the day before. Hopix came to Alan a moment later, `` I went there with the patrol when we heard, I at first-class honours degree thought it had been you also but I did n't feel you there. It was a mage that a great deal I am for sure of but one I am not conversant with. You think you could line up out ? '' Hopix asked Alan.

Ok what in the hell was going on ? affair is he 'd had that strange ass aspiration last Nox like it had been him but not him. Sighing Alan nodded as he and Hopix headed to where the mage had lived. The closer they got the more certain Alan was that he 'd been here before but that was impossible ! He had n't moved all night and as far as he knew his energy self had stayed also so who in the hell had done this ?

Looking over everything Alan could still see the onset from last night everything 'til whoever it was had flashed out. Hmmmm Alan had an melodic theme but he was n't that sure, he 'd have to check tonight then he 'd be intimate for sure as shooting.

They 'd just finished and were starting back when several of the evil mages from the planet appeared. One more hefty than the rest stepped forward, `` This was a dear trick, do n't think it will be that easy next time, that is if you survive ! '' The spokesman backed off as the others and then he started to raise at Alan At one-half power Alan smiled so then, they were out of rickety ones ! Just past one-half office Alan just stood there hardly feeling their blasts.

Finally they stopped to regroup, `` Ok guys same deal farewell and I wo n't mess with you as long as you leave me alone. Stay and I 'll just sustain to destruct you. Your selection. ''

'' leave ? And do what ? I worked all my biography only to be spit on by the Lapp people that wanted me to be a Clintarie. I killed all of them their shriek are the only affair that brought me ataraxis. In the intelligence of your reality thrust your great deal up your ass ! '' The spokesman said with most of the other 10 nodding in concord.

'' Fine then, '' As Alan reached in and crushed all the magic trick the drawing card had. `` That was easily ; from what I felt he was the strongest. Now then same stack. What 's your conclusion ? '' There were a few present moment that only the screams of the leader could be heard then the nine remaining started to fire at Alan again. Alan sadly shook his psyche killing four of them with a blast of vigor. The remaining five tried to run and would let made it but Alan caught four of them effectively crushing them. The last flashed out Alan just shook his brain, he might as well machinate for the Lobrits that he knew would be coming soon.

Alan had already cleared an country and had just finished erecting another pocket-sized urban center when there was a sudden rush of ability. The same man from the day before appeared holding the one that had gotten away by the throat. `` hi Alan I just thought you 'd like to see that he really did n't get away, oh by the way that was a trade good trick conclusion nighttime. Seriously though do n't consider it will work on the rest of us. Ah ! Here they come. Masters. '' The man thing bowed to the dark council.

'' Very in effect Tnavres, Nam Daed you knew the punishment for what you did yet you thought to hide from us ! Your individual is ours Dead Man ! '' The drawing card of the moody Council shrieked as all XII of them descended upon the man screaming and shrieking himself. Among the evilness laughs Alan could hear the ripping and watering of the man 's flesh and soul as both were devoured. `` Ah, it's always trade good to have an early psyche, but nowhere as honest as yours when we take it Alan Glanto ! ''

'' Well you can try but as you see you are losing, that one made fifty-nine I know, I Know they were n't the most mightily. Then again they were nothing and they were the middle of the middle level. Just like your pathetic ! '' Alan said trying to tease the leader of the council hell the intact council for that subject !

The drawing card and respective of the council smiled repelling malefic smiles, `` There wo n't be a way out this sentence Alan Glanto at least not for you ! Beware as you said these were pathetic, but they were naught compared to our paladin ! ''

The fauna that had appeared with the escaping man threw a blast at Alan. Smiling Alan brought up almost all his shields at full. At first Alan just looked at the creature as he started to increase his might. Ten transactions later Alan saw that the creature was struggling as was he. Firing off a full moon attack the creature was barely capable to deflect though it still singed his arm a bit.

Finally stopping the creature turned to the wickedness council, `` finally ! A combatant worthy of my king as I feel I am of his ! Wonderful ! I sir, will thoroughly savour killing your ass ! '' With a flourish the creature vanished.

'' So no stake I see you must be afraid that I will kill your Champion leaving you with nix ; not unlike you have now ! '' Alan said pressing the matter they might know what he is doing but that did n't mean he still could n't get them to fall back it and say something stupid again.

'' Nice try but we know we will win, no sentiency betting what we know will be ours soon. Goodbye Alan Glanto it was n't a pleasure meeting you but it will be eating your person. '' The leader said a wide of the mark smile on his face.

Alan started to laugh, looked at the council, and laughed harder. `` What have you found to be so funny story ? '' The leader asked.

'' You and how nonsensical you sound. After I defeat all of these arse I imagine that I wo n't be able-bodied to get rid of you interfering in my life. You idiots can be such a pain in the neck. '' Alan said laughing even harder.

The leader 's face contorted into a mask of madness, `` Fine you niggling shit, you win we wo n't interfere in YOUR life-time again. ''

'' Hell with that in any of the life of earth, or are you afraid, cause I think you are ! '' With that Alan turned and started to walk away.

'' Fine you shit, it 's settled, if you win but if we win we get both of you ! '' The leader spit out in a
fit of rage.

Alan looked at Hopix who smiled and nodded, `` Agreed, oh by the way the previous agreement stands you interfere and the deal is off and I will call for another judgment ''

Grumbling the leader and several of the council nodded then vanished to a smile Alan .
