It was a few hours later when Alan awoke, not opening his eyes he had a tender sense experience on his chest. Opening one eye he could just make out the top of Hopix 's capitulum on his chest, and then he felt the moistness. What the nether region ? What had happened that Hopix had been crying ? Then he thought a moment that is if she had been crying he could n't always secernate with her. Looking around he saw that merlin was waken 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 little funny.

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

< Ok, we 'll let her sleep for now, thank you for your consideration. > Alan told Merlin.

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

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

pigeon hawk smiled as he nodded he 'd seen this young man's tactics, he was sure Alan had a few surprises up his sleeve. < I also wanted to say you that I am as senior high as I can go in the mid-range. It is taking an untold amount of vitality each time as you said. By the way I have felt a slight startle in your major power as I said it is extremely tardily. After the mid-range I am having a unmanageable time increasing. >

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

< Yes I know, I have slowed trying to increase, the amount of vigor as you said, is enormous. Please Alan be careful these last 30 are the worst of the lot. > Falco columbarius warned.

Alan nodded then reached down and gently kissed Hopix sending shivers up his spine. Withdrawing his lips he could see that Hopix was feeling it as well. `` howdy my dearest impression better ? '' Alan asked when her middle 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 take too many more before the light council will be able to appear on this earthly concern. You sure you feel like going with me ? '' Alan asked a smiling on his face as a sudden flavour of wrath crossed Hopix 's facial expression.

'' You would n't make bold suppose of leaving without me ! '' She told him as she playfully slapped his shoulder joint.

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

'' I believe you are right, maybe a steady 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 pain to try now could it. Concentrating on Hopix 's face Alan could actually experience the tension allow his consistency amazing ! Then a new idea started to mold, hmmm Alan thought a little devious but it might work.

one-half an 60 minutes later, Alan and Hopix were leaving the sanctuary, Alan feeling for the next mage he was going after. Nodding to Hopix they started to channelise in that direction as fast as potential. Finally they arrived at a ... tree ? Shaking his headland Alan knew they were Wyrd guesswork he should gestate it. Smiling then nodding to Hopix, Alan raised his power and cut the top of the tree off. As he expected there was a large quantity of screaming before the mage appeared.

'' You bastard how daring you destroy my rest home ! I will use your castanets in the building of my next menage ! '' Firing a ( here Alan just shook his head ) huge human dynamo at Alan the one-half bird shaped mage started to laugh. `` I know you have a higher-ranking defence against fire but this is quite dissimilar ! ''

Alan just nodded he 'd felt the more intense warmth but it was really nothing to him. Bouncing it back Alan watched as the dark mage 's aspect showed surprise as it extended its arm like appendages. Suddenly the brass twisted into fear and hate as the fire orb did n't extinguish but built to a higher intensity. Alan suddenly was speaking to the air as he stated, `` I hope all of you are watching, I am through acting 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 chance, NONE of you ! ''

turn away Alan smiled, ‘ That ought to do it,'he thought. Looking at the bird animate being mage Alan pushed some more, feeling the former lose the fight. Finally amidst an increasing sum of money of screaming as it died, several Thomas More dark mages appeared and started to fire different blast at Alan. Many of the new arrival faces twisted into hate as they all tried to end Alan at the Sami prison term.

Smiling Alan had felt the access of the ten that were now striking at his cuticle. Alan had depended on the fact that near of them were conceited about their power, good he thought as he slowly increased his cuticle and then started to crusade back. Hmmm Alan thought as he felt the familiar spirit presence of the dark council 's virtuoso. Turning his attention back to the new arrivals, Alan made respective different cutting motions as four of the new mages fell bleeding from gashes on their throats and necks.

Several of those left started to push harder growling out their hatred of Alan. Increasing his exponent 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 secure. ‘ It was about meter,'he thought, ‘ this would definitely be a challenge !'

Still the showtime 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 sense the ground beneath him and the dark mages ; smiling he reached down and a instant later three of the four left wing, screamed. respective radical erupted from the ground and ripped them apart, the last only smiled as he pointed a stubby finger like appendage at Alan.

'' So mage Alan you can learn ! Good it will make this victory over you that a good deal sweeter ! '' With that the lastly mage faded to a mist that floated toward Alan, an malevolent cackling emitting from it. `` You can stop most flack but not this one ! Remember how brave you thought you were when you feel your lungs on fire and you blood boiling out of your body ! ''

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

'' I would say it had been a in force engagement but you were rather sluttish, '' Alan told the one-half stop dead mist. `` It 's a shame you have been the most original yet, oh well. '' Stepping forward Alan brought a foot down on the frosty surgical incision of the mist effectively shattering it into thousand of pieces. Screaming the dark mage cursed at Alan then stopped as it died.

Turning back to the low of the iniquity mages Alan got a rummy grin on his look. The inaugural of Alan 's assailants center got panoptic then it looked behind Alan and started to grin.

'' I see that my true help is here ! '' Quite confident the foremost dark mage started to laugh at Alan. `` Soon you will be abruptly and we all will profit handsomely ! ''

backside Alan a now companion vocalization broke the air, `` I know you are n't talking about me ! You are a stupe and pitiful fool to conceive I would help a weak idiot like you in fact. '' Suddenly there was a massive anatomy up of big businessman then a hurry liberation that shot out and immerse the brute. Screaming it was gone faster than Alan thought it would be. `` I can not stand the debile and sniveling tomfool the council has working for them. That though, is their clientele I could worry less. ''

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

'' Oh rest assured I do not ! Though when it comes to you who can make love ? You are mine to toss off, the Sooner these impossible waste matter are gone, the sooner I can feast on your soul ! '' The knock-down darkness mage said. `` I wo n't kill them ; that is your job as is dying at the appointed hour by my hand. So do us all a favor, kill them quickly I thirst for an actual struggle against a real mage not here."HE kicked what was left of the first dark mages body. `` These wastes of space. '' Laughing evilly the fauna disappeared.

Alan shook his top dog then sat to rest a few transactions, he could already sense a vast multitude coming this way. There had to be a way to speed up the process. `` Hopix, do you conceive there is an light way to complete the clearing of these people ? ''

Sitting next to him her chin on her hand she also started to think, a few second later she looked at Alan excited. `` Alan, do they have to be awake for you to actually do this ? I have seen that the more they struggle before you actually intercept 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 hand it took a lot more than energy to fight them trying to open them up awake then when they were asleep. The last group he 'd worked on had been this way snake pit it was Worth a shot ! Wiping out the home of the get-go dreary mage Alan set about making a major urban center comparable to one that he 'd seen in the minds of many of the Lobrits. He 'd just finished when he felt the overly turgid multitude 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 ground in slumber. Alan started on the first few thousand finding it three sentence easier than he thought it would own been. Surprised Alan tried to do even more reaching out he touched at least 50,000. Smiling he found it was a hell of a lot soft plus he hardly felt the nervous strain that he had before.

An time of day later, Alan could only guess that he 'd had well over 200,000 there though this time he was surprised that only about 10,000 did n't want to be free. Shaking his head he sent all that were spare now into the urban center and set up all the protection. Sighing he still could n't think that many chose to stay on with their nighttime mage schoolmaster.

Another hour passed and he was finally done, even with them asleep he 'd found that those that did n't require the assist resisted him fiercely. Then he thought about what the dark council whiz had said, shaking his principal he could almost sense the turmoil that the former had about facing him. Was the man, ( Alan guessed he had been at one time ) really that often in love with fighting as Alan could feel ? Alan had just turned to Hopix when he felt a intimate front appear.

'' I thought you were going to waitress 'til your superpower had increased more. '' Alan asked of Merlin.

'' I 'm not surely if you can tell, '' pigeon hawk replied. `` I was practicing again when I felt something slip and I suddenly knew that I had increased into the in high spirits range. I am now where by far even close to you but I am feeling a hell of a lot more sureness than I was. '' Here Merlin waved his arm with a lowly flourish sending a small shower of sparks out from his arm. `` I have never been able to do that before, neither have I been able to thought move as far as I have. '' Leaning closemouthed pigeon hawk told a now shock 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 kitchen stove. Well Alan thought now the man was in for it that was for certain, the close 19 might think he WAS an easier target but now Ha ! Alan could only imagine all of their storm faces when they went after him now.

merlin smiled when he could see that Alan had the Lapp revelation that he 'd had. Then he remembered the real rationality he 'd do there, `` I came as fast as I could, the first small town you created is under flak from those that chose not to be freed. They had contacted me as you were gone, I have tried to add Sir Thomas More protective cover to the outer walls, but I am afraid I have n't near the power you do. ''

Alan nodded he 'd felt tremors from the shelter he 'd erected but zero all that serious yet. Then again with the strongest left that might deepen quickly. `` I 'll head there as soon as we are done here. '' Alan told a apprehensive Merlin.

Falco columbarius 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 recently, this attack had been different than most that he 'd felt before, another shock to him that he was feeling more. pigeon hawk nodded to Hopix a reproachful look on his face as he concentrated and vanished.

Alan checked all of the guard he 'd put in post then gathered up Hopix and they both vanished. Appearing not far from the showtime 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 implements of war raised and were emitting assorted type of muscularity towards the shields that Alan had erected around the town.

growling Alan could feel the mien of at least three of the inviolable moody mages through the ten of the loyal Lobrits. Alan was approaching when he heard a interpreter, `` Hold mage Alan ! Under the convention of conquest those in this misfortunate village are ours ! ''

Alan sneered yelling, `` Then they are all mine ! I defeated all of those before me, release them, and stay this attack ! I suggest you do so before you truly pee-pee me off ! ''

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

Alan smirked and easily blocked the attack even as respective more bolts shot toward him from nates. Hopix screamed a warning as all three of the bolts started to penetrate his shell. beshrew it ! Distracted only a minute Alan returned fire catching the first of the three mages igniting its skin. Amid the howler, the finale two poured on more power finally breaking through, one barely grazing Alan 's arm. Grimacing Alan 's now almost useless arm fell at his position. Looking at Hopix 's furious boldness as she helped him to remain stomach Alan concentrated and they vanished.

They only managed to go a few thousand yards, both of the darkness mages decided to fall in chase. Again Alan tried to move them but the pain was starting to disquiet him, as again they only moved a few one thousand yards. Finally sort out of the township Alan and Hopix looked at his arm, though not as bad as the first time he 'd been bruise it was more painful. Alan was about to move again when merlin appeared.

'' I thought you were in trouble something had felt off when I felt your low gear move '' Alan could barely nod as the pain racked his organic structure almost to the level that he was fighting to last out conscious. `` I 've never tried this before but I have to try, '' pigeon hawk said as he placed a hired man on Alan and Hopix.

More than half way to the sanctuary Merlin and his rider appeared startled Falco columbarius recognized where they were. Shaking his head he could suddenly sense both of the keep up mages but they were at an extreme distance, shit had they moved that far ? Closing his oculus pigeon hawk concentrated on the sanctuary and they vanished again appearing outside the front of the asylum. Again Falco columbarius 's eye grew large this was amazing ! This was fantastic ! This was, grass ! Merlin could palpate the drain on his body and power well he thought as he started to fall this sucks !

Hopix 's middle were wide when had Falco columbarius 's power increased that much ? The unscathed fourth dimension they had been here Merlin had never shown this much power ! There was a sudden rumpus as the Lobrits came pouring out of the bema to acquit not only Alan but a now unconscious Merlin inside.

The non-white champion was shaking his head maybe he 'd given this mage Alan far too much recognition to be hurt by such a tactics. 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 More to this Alan than met the eye. Yes advance study was required that was for sure before they faced off against each other. With a smug and extremely positive look the morose hero vanished, already forming plans of way to get the better of Alan.

They managed to get Alan inside without incident as well as Merlin ; that was 'til they set Alan down and the pain shot through his organic structure. Doing his best not to squall Alan lay there as several healer started to work on him. Damn, Alan thought he could n't even experience them at first then slowly very slowly he started to feel a flyspeck bit of the pain fade.

They had been at it for perhaps four hr when Alan heard merlin stir with a groan. Hopix had added her power to the healing also but it appeared that even her power was far insufficient to do all that much to his injuries. pigeon hawk 's eyes opened, ‘ shit,'he thought as the room spun, ‘ I'm a little surprise I am awake.'Looking over at Alan he could see that Alan 's arm was still in bad shape. Barely able to move Merlin directed some of his energy toward Alan, watching as it enveloped the arm. Alan 's eyes snapped afford as he actually felt his arm healing. ‘ Who the nether region was that,'he thought there was no one powerful enough ...

Alan heard Merlin groan then the healing that had started a few minutes before washy. Alan tried to strike his arm not dandy but it was by far expert than it had been. Looking at pigeon hawk the man smiled then promptly passed out, hoot Alan thought the man really had advanced his mightiness that far ! Concentrating Alan could finally add to the healing as he felt the stamp flesh become unit. Alan 's last view as the healing had also drained him was he had to repay the man when they were both awake, well after the last XVII mages, and the booster were gone .
