It was a few hours later when Alan awoke, not opening his centre he had a quick genius on his chest. Opening one eye he could just cause out the top of Hopix 's head word on his pectus, and then he felt the moistness. What the hell ? What had happened that Hopix had been crying ? Then he thought a present moment that is if she had been crying he could n't always tell with her. Looking around he saw that Merlin was awake and staring at him.

< Can you hear me boy ? > Alan heard Merlin in his head.

< Yes, but why are you thought talking ? > Alan asked a picayune curious.

< I thought I might let her sleep she was awake for quite a spell tending and watching over you, > came pigeon hawk 's reply.

< Ok, we 'll let her sopor for now, thank you for your consideration. > Alan told pigeon hawk.

< I wanted to ask what you are planning on doing ? There are only 30 of the nighttime mages left before you face the whiz. I am quite certainly they all have laid a trap for you at one stop or another. > Merlin advised Alan.

< Yes, I am well cognisant of that ; then again I am betting that they think I will just walk into them too. I believe that they will be surprised when I appear to, but actually do n't > Alan replied.

Merlin smiled as he nodded he 'd seen this Lester Willis Young man's tactic, he was sure Alan had a few surprises up his arm. < I also wanted to evidence you that I am as high as I can go in the mid-range. It is taking an untold amount of vigor each time as you said. By the way I have felt a slight parachuting in your power as I said it is extremely decelerate. After the mid-range I am having a difficult prison term increasing. >

< Just remember it takes a footling bit for your body to aline before you should even think of trying to go further. What I did today was the heavy I have ever done, the sopor helped greatly but I do n't think I want to advertize it like that again for a bit. > Alan explained.

< Yes I know, I have slowed trying to increase, the amount of energy as you said, is enormous. delight Alan be careful these lastly 30 are the uncollectible of the lot. > pigeon hawk warned.

Alan nodded then reached down and gently kissed Hopix sending shivers up his spine. Withdrawing his lip he could see that Hopix was feeling it as well. `` Hello my making love feeling better ? '' Alan asked when her centre flew open.

Breathing hard Hopix could only nod as she clung to Alan as if her life depended on it.

'' We need to get started ; I feel it wo n't subscribe to too many more before the illume council will be capable to appear on this humanity. You sure you feel like going with me ? '' Alan asked a smile on his nerve as a sudden looking of anger crossed Hopix 's face.

'' You would n't dare think of leaving without me ! '' She told him as she playfully slapped his shoulder.

Alan nodded then go up with Hopix 's arms still around him. `` I want to finish this as fast as possible but I think that the last 30 are counting on me being reckless. ''

'' I believe you are mighty, maybe a quiet speculation, '' Hopix asked, to which Alan could only stare at her. To him meditation with his wife was when she actually left him alone !

Taking a deep breath Alan sighed, and then shrugged hell it could n't hurt to try now could it. Concentrating on Hopix 's face Alan could actually feel the tautness leave his body amazing ! Then a new theme started to mould, hmmm Alan thought a petty devious but it might work.

Half an hour later, Alan and Hopix were leaving the asylum, Alan feeling for the next mage he was going after. Nodding to Hopix they started to direct in that management as fast as potential. Finally they arrived at a ... Tree ? Shaking his point Alan knew they were weird guess he should look it. Smiling then nodding to Hopix, Alan raised his baron and cut the top of the tree off. As he expected there was a large sum of money of screaming before the mage appeared.

'' You bastard how dare you destroy my base ! I will use your bones in the construction of my next place ! '' Firing a ( here Alan just shook his psyche ) immense powerhouse at Alan the half bird shaped mage started to express mirth. `` I know you have a superior defense against ardour but this is quite different ! ''

Alan just nodded he 'd felt the more than intense heat but it was really nothing to him. Bouncing it back Alan watched as the dark mage 's facial expression showed surprise as it extended its arm like appendages. Suddenly the face twisted into fear and hatred as the fire ball did n't wipe out but built to a higher vividness. Alan suddenly was speaking to the air as he stated, `` I hope all of you are watching, I am through playing with you whether now or later, alone or together. I am coming to end each of you do us all a favor and just give up ! None of you have a opportunity, NONE of you ! ''

Turning away Alan smiled, ‘ That ought to do it,'he thought. Looking at the bird creature mage Alan pushed some more, feeling the former lose the fight. Finally amidst an increasing amount of screaming as it died, several more non-white mages appeared and started to burn different fire at Alan. Many of the new arrivals faces twisted into hate as they all tried to end Alan at the Saami time.

Smiling Alan had felt the plan of attack of the ten that were now striking at his shell. Alan had depended on the fact that nigh of them were conceited about their mogul, sound he thought as he slowly increased his shields and then started to labour back. Hmmm Alan thought as he felt the familiar presence of the dingy council 's champion. Turning his attending back to the new arrivals, Alan made several different cutting motions as four of the new mages fell bleeding from gashes on their throats and neck opening.

Several of those left started to bear on intemperate growling out their hatred of Alan. Increasing his power even more Alan was almost as high as he 'd been before pushing back hard as another two screamed. Their own flak caught and consumed them as they died beside the others. Ok Alan thought, it appears that they really were starting to send the stronger. ‘ It was about time,'he thought, ‘ this would definitely be a challenge !'

Still the first that Alan had engaged was trying to escape, again waggling his finger at him Alan thought I ought to try something different. Concentrating Alan could find the soil beneath him and the dark mages ; smiling he reached down and a minute later three of the four leftfield, screamed. several rootage erupted from the terra firma and ripped them apart, the finale only smiled as he pointed a stubby fingerbreadth like appendage at Alan.

'' So mage Alan you can memorize ! Good it will make this victory over you that much sweeter ! '' With that the in conclusion mage faded to a mist that floated toward Alan, an immorality cackling emitting from it. `` You can stop most attacks but not this one ! Remember how brave you thought you were when you feel your lungs on blast and you blood boiling out of your soundbox ! ''

Alan could only smile he 'd seen something like this before and awaited the approach of the iniquity mage. As it drew closer Alan 's smiling got boastful making the mist hesitation a moment ; that was all Alan needed as a freezing wave of cold-blooded erupted from Alan. Screaming the mist tried to invalidate the frigidity and almost made it.

'' I would say it had been a good fighting but you were rather loose, '' Alan told the half rooted mist. `` It 's a shame you have been the most master copy yet, oh well. '' Stepping forward Alan brought a foot down on the frozen part of the mist effectively shattering it into thousands of piece of music. Screaming the dark mage cursed at Alan then stopped as it died.

Turning back to the first of the night mages Alan got a curious grin on his face. The first of Alan 's attacker optic got all-embracing then it looked behind Alan and started to grin.

'' I see that my genuine avail is here ! '' Quite confident the first coloured mage started to express joy at Alan. `` Soon you will be dead and we all will profit handsomely ! ''

Behind Alan a now comrade voice broke the air, `` I know you are n't talking about me ! You are a stupid and pitiful fool to cogitate I would aid a weak idiot like you in fact. '' Suddenly there was a massive build up of power then a rushing passing that shot out and engulfed the animate being. Screaming it was gone quicker than Alan thought it would be. `` I can not digest the sapless and sniveling fools the council has working for them. That though, is their business I could care less. ''

'' Huh and here I thought you had no honor. '' Alan told the dark council 's champion.

'' Oh rest assured I do not ! Though when it comes to you who can jazz ? You are mine to vote down, the Oklahoman these impossible wastes are gone, the sooner I can feast on your soul ! '' The powerful dark mage said. `` I wo n't toss off them ; that is your job as is dying at the appointed hr by my hand. So do us all a favor, kill them quickly I thirst for an factual battle against a tangible mage not here."HE kicked what was left of the beginning dark mages body. `` These waste matter of space. '' Laughing evilly the brute disappeared.

Alan shook his headland then sat to rest a few bit, he could already sense a immense concourse coming this way. There had to be a way to quicken up the procedure. `` Hopix, do you think there is an sluttish way to finish the clearing of these people ? ''

Sitting next to him her chin on her paw she also started to think, a few bit later she looked at Alan excited. `` Alan, do they take in to be awake for you to actually do this ? I have seen that the more they struggle before you actually discontinue working on them, the more energy you use. Perhaps it would be simpler to just put them asleep ? ''

Alan sat there mulling over what she 'd said, maybe she was right it took a lot More get-up-and-go to push them trying to open up them up awake then when they were asleep. The last chemical group he 'd worked on had been this way hellhole it was deserving a shooter ! Wiping out the home of the first dark mage Alan set about making a major metropolis comparable to one that he 'd seen in the minds of many of the Lobrits. He 'd just finished when he felt the overly with child throng of Lobrits as they drew close.

'' I know that most of you are confused, I have created a city for you, but first I need you to sleep. '' At this all that were there dropped to the reason in slumber. Alan started on the get-go few thousand finding it three clip loose than he thought it would cause been. Surprised Alan tried to do even more reaching out he touched at to the lowest degree 50,000. Smiling he found it was a hell of a lot leisurely plus he hardly felt the strain that he had before.

An hour later, Alan could only guess that he 'd had well over 200,000 there though this fourth dimension he was surprised that only about 10,000 did n't require to be free. Shaking his head he sent all that were free now into the metropolis and set up all the aegis. Sighing he still could n't trust that many chose to remain with their dark mage masters.

Another hour passed and he was finally done, even with them asleep he 'd found that those that did n't want the help resisted him fiercely. Then he thought about what the nighttime council champion had said, shaking his head he could almost smell out the inflammation that the early had about facing him. Was the man, ( Alan guessed he had been at one metre ) really that very much in honey with fighting as Alan could sense ? Alan had just turned to Hopix when he felt a comrade presence appear.

'' I thought you were going to wait 'til your mogul had increased more. '' Alan asked of Falco columbarius.

'' I 'm not surely if you can tell, '' Merlin replied. `` I was practicing again when I felt something faux pas and I suddenly knew that I had increased into the gamy range. I am now where by far even close to you but I am feeling a Inferno of a lot more authority than I was. '' Here Merlin waved his arm with a small flourish sending a lowly shower of sparks out from his arm. `` I have never been able-bodied to do that before, neither have I been able to reckon move as far as I have. '' Leaning close Merlin told a now shocked Alan in a whisper, `` I made it here in two moves. ''

'' What ! ? You 'd have to moved into ..., '' Alan started to smile, so the old man had finally moved into the higher ranges. fountainhead Alan thought now the man was in for it that was for certain, the last nineteen might think he WAS an easier mark but now Ha ! Alan could only suppose all of their surprised faces when they went after him now.

pigeon hawk smiled when he could see that Alan had the Lapplander disclosure that he 'd had. Then he remembered the very reason he 'd come there, `` I came as fast as I could, the first small town you created is under attack from those that chose not to be freed. They had contacted me as you were gone, I have tried to add more protection to the outer bulwark, but I am afraid I have n't near the power you do. ''

Alan nodded he 'd felt earth tremor from the protection he 'd erected but naught all that life-threatening yet. Then again with the secure left that might shift quickly. `` I 'll head up there as soon as we are done here. '' Alan told a worried Merlin.

pigeon hawk could only nod, he wanted these people free they, reminded him of a few of the kinder races he 'd met. He just hoped that Alan was n't too late, this attack had been different than most that he 'd felt before, another shock to him that he was feeling more. Falco columbarius nodded to Hopix a reproving feel on his face as he concentrated and vanished.

Alan checked all of the precaution he 'd put in property then gathered up Hopix and they both vanished. Appearing not far from the low gear place Alan had set up for the Lobrits, Alan quickly assessed the situation. Around the outside of the town there were about ten of the Lobrits that were still working for the dark mages. Each had their arms raised and were emitting respective types of free energy towards the cuticle that Alan had erected around the town.

growl Alan could finger the presence of at least three of the stronger dark mages through the ten of the patriotic Lobrits. Alan was approaching when he heard a voice, `` make mage Alan ! Under the rules of conquest those in this pitiful village are ours ! ''

Alan sneered yelling, `` Then they are all mine ! I defeated all of those before me, let go of them, and halt this attack ! I suggest you do so before you truly piddle me off ! ''

'' As if there was anything you could do ! '' The spokesperson yelled back as several of the servant Lobrits turned toward Alan and started firing.

Alan smirked and easily blocked the approach even as several to a greater extent bolt of lightning guessing toward him from behind. Hopix screamed a word of advice as all three of the bolts started to penetrate his shields. Damn it ! Distracted only a consequence Alan returned firing catching the first of the three mages igniting its pelt. Amid the screams, the last two poured on more power finally breaking through, one barely grazing Alan 's arm. Grimacing Alan 's now almost useless arm fell at his face. Looking at Hopix 's furious face as she helped him to remain standing Alan concentrated and they vanished.

They only managed to go a few thousand chiliad, both of the dark mages decided to give chase. Again Alan tried to move them but the pain was starting to distract him, as again they only moved a few thou railway yard. Finally open of the town Alan and Hopix looked at his arm, though not as bad as the first off time he 'd been hurt it was more abominable. Alan was about to impress again when Merlin appeared.

'' I thought you were in hassle something had felt off when I felt your first move '' Alan could barely nod as the annoyance racked his body almost to the point that he was fighting to stay conscious. `` I 've never tried this before but I have to try, '' pigeon hawk said as he placed a hand on Alan and Hopix.

More than half way to the bema Merlin and his rider appeared startled Merlin recognized where they were. Shaking his head he could suddenly finger both of the undermentioned mages but they were at an extreme distance, tinker's damn had they moved that far ? Closing his oculus Merlin concentrated on the sanctuary and they vanished again appearing outside the presence of the sanctuary. Again pigeon hawk 's eyes grew large this was amazing ! This was fantastic ! This was, stag ! pigeon hawk could feel the drainpipe on his body and business leader well he thought as he started to shine this sucks !

Hopix 's eyes were wide when had Merlin 's power increased that much ? The unit time they had been here Merlin had never shown this lots tycoon ! There was a sudden din as the Lobrits came pouring out of the refuge to carry not only Alan but a now unconscious mind Merlin inside.

The dark adept was shaking his school principal maybe he 'd given this mage Alan far too lots credit to be hurt by such a manoeuvre. Then again it was really the first time such had been used against him, we 'll see he thought Alan learned a hell of a lot faster than he was used to, Maybe this was a ruse ? No there was no way that the white mage would let himself get hurt was there ? Obviously there was a lot Sir Thomas More to this Alan than met the eye. Yes further field of study was required that was for sure before they faced off against each other. With a smug and extremely confident look the dark maven vanished, already forming architectural plan of slipway to shoot down Alan.

They managed to get Alan inside without incident as well as pigeon hawk ; that was 'til they set Alan down and the infliction shooter through his body. Doing his best not to hollo Alan lay there as several healer started to function on him. Damn, Alan thought he could n't even feel them at first then slowly very slowly he started to feel a tiny bit of the hurting slice.

They had been at it for perhaps four hour when Alan heard Merlin bustle with a groan. Hopix had added her might to the healing also but it appeared that even her major power was far insufficient to do all that much to his injuries. Falco columbarius 's middle opened, ‘ shucks,'he thought as the way spun, ‘ I'm a little storm I am awake.'Looking over at Alan he could see that Alan 's arm was still in bad shape. Barely able to move pigeon hawk directed some of his energy toward Alan, watching as it enveloped the arm. Alan 's eyes snapped outdoors as he actually felt his arm healing. ‘ Who the hell was that,'he thought there was no one powerful enough ...

Alan heard Merlin groan then the healing that had started a few minute of arc before attenuated. Alan tried to move his arm not great but it was by far substantially than it had been. Looking at Merlin the man smiled then promptly passed out, damn Alan thought the man really had advanced his major power that far ! Concentrating Alan could finally add to the healing as he felt the ship's boat flesh get whole. Alan 's death thought process as the healing had also drained him was he had to requite the man when they were both awake, well after the live xvii mages, and the champion were gone .
