It was a few minute later when Alan awoke, not opening his eyes he had a warmly sensation on his chest of drawers. Opening one eye he could just make out the top of Hopix 's top dog on his chest, and then he felt the moistness. What the hell ? What had happened that Hopix had been crying ? Then he thought a second that is if she had been crying he could n't always tell with her. Looking around he saw that Falco columbarius was awake and staring at him.

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

< Yes, but why are you thought talking ? > Alan asked a little rummy.

< I thought I might let her catch some Z's she was awake for quite a piece tending and watching over you, > came merlin '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 maven. I am quite trusted 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.

Merlin smiled as he nodded he 'd seen this Whitney Young man's tactics, he was sure Alan had a few surprises up his arm. < I also wanted to tell you that I am as senior high as I can go in the mid-range. It is taking an untold amount of energy each meter as you said. By the way I have felt a slight parachuting in your power as I said it is extremely slow. After the mid-range I am having a unmanageable time increasing. >

< Just call back it takes a little bit for your body to conform before you should even cogitate of trying to go further. What I did today was the orotund I have ever done, the sleep helped greatly but I do n't think I want to push it like that again for a bit. > Alan explained.

< Yes I know, I have slowed trying to increase, the quantity of energy as you said, is enormous. please Alan be heedful these last 30 are the worst of the lot. > Merlin warned.

Alan nodded then reached down and gently kissed Hopix sending thrill up his spur. Withdrawing his lips he could see that Hopix was feeling it as well. `` Hello my love feeling better ? '' Alan asked when her eyes flew receptive.

respiration hard Hopix could only nod as she clung to Alan as if her life history 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 seem on this human race. You sure you feel like going with me ? '' Alan asked a grinning on his face as a sudden face of ire crossed Hopix 's face.

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

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

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

Taking a deep breather Alan sighed, and then shrugged the pits it could n't ache to try now could it. Concentrating on Hopix 's face Alan could actually feel the tension leave alone his body amazing ! Then a new idea started to take shape, hmmm Alan thought a little devious but it might work.

half an hour later, Alan and Hopix were leaving the sanctuary, Alan feeling for the next mage he was going after. Nodding to Hopix they started to lead in that direction as fast as potential. Finally they arrived at a ... tree diagram ? Shaking his head Alan knew they were Weird guess he should bear 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 amount of screaming before the mage appeared.

'' You bastard how dare you destroy my home ! I will use your bones in the mental synthesis of my following house ! '' Firing a ( here Alan just shook his mind ) immense bolide at Alan the half chick shaped mage started to express joy. `` I know you have a superscript defence reaction against fire but this is quite dissimilar ! ''

Alan just nodded he 'd felt up the more than vivid heating system but it was really nothing to him. Bouncing it back Alan watched as the dark mage 's face showed surprise as it extended its arm like member. Suddenly the grimace twisted into fear and hate as the flame ball did n't extinguish but built to a gamy intensiveness. 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 chance, 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 other lose the fight. Finally amidst an increasing sum of screaming as it died, several more dark mages appeared and started to fire dissimilar flack at Alan. Many of the new arrivals faces twisted into hatred as they all tried to end Alan at the Same time.

smiling Alan had felt the approach of the ten that were now striking at his shields. Alan had depended on the fact that virtually of them were conceited about their king, right he thought as he slowly increased his shields and then started to advertize back. Hmmm Alan thought as he felt the companion front of the dark council 's champ. Turning his attention back to the new arrivals, Alan made several dissimilar cutting gesture as four of the new mages fell bleeding from gash on their throats and neck.

Several of those left started to push harder growling out their hatred of Alan. Increasing his mogul even more Alan was almost as richly as he 'd been before pushing back hard as another two screamed. Their own attacks 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 sense the ground beneath him and the dark mages ; smiling he reached down and a moment later three of the four left, screamed. respective roots erupted from the footing and ripped them apart, the terminal only smiled as he pointed a stubby finger like appendage at Alan.

'' So mage Alan you can study ! 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 evilness cackling emitting from it. `` You can arrest most attacks 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 grin got bigger making the mist falter a import ; that was all Alan needed as a freezing wave of cold erupted from Alan. Screaming the mist tried to avoid the cold and almost made it.

'' I would say it had been a good fight but you were rather sluttish, '' Alan told the one-half suspend mist. `` It 's a pity you have been the most original yet, oh well. '' Stepping forward Alan brought a animal foot down on the frozen section of the mist effectively shattering it into thousands of pieces. Screaming the obscure mage cursed at Alan then stopped as it died.

Turning back to the first of the dark mages Alan got a curious grin on his typeface. The first of Alan 's aggressor centre got panoptic then it looked behind Alan and started to grin.

'' I see that my true help is here ! '' Quite confident the initiative black mage started to laugh at Alan. `` Soon you will be dead and we all will benefit handsomely ! ''

behind Alan a now familiar voice broke the air, `` I know you are n't talking about me ! You are a stupid and pathetic fool to imagine I would assist a watery idiot like you in fact. '' Suddenly there was a massive build up of top executive then a rushing discharge that shot out and engulf the creature. Screaming it was gone quicker than Alan thought it would be. `` I can not remain firm the weak 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 know ? You are mine to kill, the sooner these impossible wastes are gone, the Sooner I can feast on your somebody ! '' The powerful dreary mage said. `` I wo n't kill them ; that is your job as is dying at the appointed 60 minutes by my hand. So do us all a party favor, kill them quickly I thirst for an actual engagement against a tangible mage not here."HE kicked what was left of the first dark mages body. `` These wastes of space. '' Laughing evilly the animate being disappeared.

Alan shook his head then sat to rest a few minutes, he could already finger a huge multitude coming this way. There had to be a way to pelt along up the summons. `` Hopix, do you think there is an easier way to complete the glade of these people ? ''

Sitting next to him her Kuki-Chin on her hand she also started to think, a few minutes later she looked at Alan excited. `` Alan, do they birth to be awake for you to actually do this ? I have seen that the more they struggle before you actually check working on them, the to a greater extent DOE you use. Perhaps it would be simpler to just put them asleep ? ''

Alan sat there mulling over what she 'd said, maybe she was justly it took a lot more Energy to fight them trying to give them up awake then when they were asleep. The finis mathematical group he 'd worked on had been this way hell it was worth a shot ! Wiping out the home of the first sour mage Alan set about making a major city comparable to one that he 'd seen in the judgement of many of the Lobrits. He 'd just wind up when he felt the overly large throng of Lobrits as they drew close.

'' I know that most of you are confused, I have created a metropolis for you, but first I need you to sleep. '' At this all that were there dropped to the flat coat in slumber. Alan started on the commencement few thousand finding it three meter easier than he thought it would stimulate been. Surprised Alan tried to do even more reaching out he touched at least 50,000. Smiling he found it was a the pits of a lot easier 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 want to be rid. Shaking his head he sent all that were loose now into the city and set up all the protection. Sighing he still could n't believe that many chose to persist with their dark mage passkey.

Another 60 minutes passed and he was finally done, even with them asleep he 'd chance that those that did n't want the help resisted him fiercely. Then he thought about what the dark council booster had said, shaking his head he could almost feel the excitement that the other had about facing him. Was the man, ( Alan guessed he had been at one time ) really that much in love with fighting as Alan could feel ? Alan had just turned to Hopix when he felt a companion bearing appear.

'' I thought you were going to hold off 'til your power had increased more. '' Alan asked of Merlin.

'' I 'm not sure if you can assure, '' Merlin replied. `` I was practicing again when I felt something moorage and I suddenly knew that I had increased into the gamy mountain chain. I am now where by far even close to you but I am feeling a hell on earth of a lot more confidence than I was. '' Here Merlin waved his arm with a minuscule flourish sending a pocket-sized shower of arc out from his arm. `` I have never been able to do that before, neither have I been able to reckon move as far as I have. '' Leaning penny-pinching Merlin told a now aghast Alan in a whisper, `` I made it here in two moves. ''

'' What ! ? You 'd stimulate to moved into ..., '' Alan started to smile, so the old man had finally moved into the in high spirits image. Well Alan thought now the man was in for it that was for sure, the hold up nineteen might guess he WAS an easier target but now Ha ! Alan could only suppose all of their surprised faces when they went after him now.

Falco columbarius smiled when he could see that Alan had the same revelation that he 'd had. Then he remembered the real reason he 'd come there, `` I came as fast as I could, the showtime belittled town you created is under onrush 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 walls, but I am afraid I have n't near the exponent you do. ''

Alan nodded he 'd felt earth tremor from the protection he 'd erected but cypher all that grievous yet. Then again with the substantial left that might shift quickly. `` I 'll manoeuvre there as soon as we are done here. '' Alan told a occupy Merlin.

Falco columbarius could only nod, he wanted these masses free they, reminded him of a few of the kinder races he 'd met. He just hoped that Alan was n't too deep, this attack had been different than near that he 'd experience before, another shock to him that he was feeling Sir Thomas More. Merlin nodded to Hopix a reproachful look on his face as he concentrated and vanished.

Alan checked all of the guard he 'd put in property then gathered up Hopix and they both vanished. Appearing not far from the first post Alan had set up for the Lobrits, Alan quickly assessed the spot. Around the exterior 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 diverse case of vim towards the shields that Alan had erected around the township.

growling Alan could feel the bearing of at least three of the impregnable dark mages through the ten of the truehearted Lobrits. Alan was approaching when he heard a voice, `` Hold mage Alan ! Under the prescript of seduction those in this pathetic village are ours ! ''

Alan sneered shouting, `` Then they are all mine ! I defeated all of those before me, give up them, and halt this attack ! I suggest you do so before you truly make me off ! ''

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

Alan smirked and easily blocked the onset even as several Sir Thomas More bolts tear toward him from behind. Hopix screamed a word of advice as all three of the bolts started to get across his shell. anathemize it ! Distracted only a moment Alan returned fire catching the maiden of the three mages igniting its skin. Amid the shriek, the cobbler's 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 incline. Looking at Hopix 's angry face as she helped him to remain standing Alan concentrated and they vanished.

They only managed to go a few 1000 G, both of the darkness mages decided to give chase. Again Alan tried to move them but the pain sensation was starting to distract him, as again they only moved a few thousand yards. Finally gain of the town Alan and Hopix looked at his arm, though not as bad as the first gear time he 'd been hurt it was more atrocious. Alan was about to travel again when merlin appeared.

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

More than half way to the sanctuary Merlin and his passenger appeared startled Merlin recognized where they were. Shaking his header he could suddenly finger both of the following mages but they were at an extremum space, damn had they moved that far ? Closing his heart Merlin concentrated on the bema and they vanished again appearing outside the front line of the refuge. Again Merlin 's eyes grew large this was amazing ! This was wild ! This was, shit ! Merlin could sense the drain on his body and power well he thought as he started to go down this sucking !

Hopix 's eyes were wide when had pigeon hawk 's mightiness increased that much ? The solid time they had been here Merlin had never shown this very much tycoon ! There was a sudden rumpus as the Lobrits came pouring out of the sanctuary to carry not only Alan but a now unconscious Merlin inside.

The black champion was shaking his brain maybe he 'd given this mage Alan far too much credit to be hurt by such a tactic. Then again it was really the start time such had been used against him, we 'll see he thought Alan learned a pit of a lot faster than he was used to, Maybe this was a artifice ? No there was no way that the blank mage would let himself get hurt was there ? Obviously there was a lot more to this Alan than met the eye. Yes far study was required that was for trusted before they faced off against each other. With a smug and extremely confident look the drear champion vanished, already forming plans of ways to kill Alan.

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

They had been at it for perhaps four hours when Alan heard merlin stir with a groan. Hopix had added her business leader to the healing also but it appeared that even her power was far insufficient to do all that much to his accidental injury. Falco columbarius 's oculus opened, ‘ damn,'he thought as the way spun, ‘ I'm a short surprised I am awake.'Looking over at Alan he could see that Alan 's arm was still in bad anatomy. Barely able to move Merlin directed some of his push toward Alan, watching as it enveloped the arm. Alan 's eyes snapped open as he actually felt his arm healing. ‘ Who the Scheol was that,'he thought there was no one powerful enough ...

Alan heard Merlin groan then the healing that had started a few minutes before faded. Alan tried to move his arm not great but it was by far unspoilt than it had been. Looking at Merlin the man smiled then promptly passed out, damn Alan thought the man really had advanced his baron that far ! Concentrating Alan could finally add to the healing as he felt the ship's boat chassis become all. Alan 's last intellection as the healing had also drained him was he had to repay the man when they were both awake, well after the utmost xvii mages, and the maven were gone .
