It was a few hour later when Alan awoke, not opening his eyes he had a warm superstar on his chest. Opening one eye he could just make out the top of Hopix 's head on his pectus, and then he felt the damp. 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 Merlin in his headway.

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

< I thought I might let her sleep she was awake for quite a while tending and watching over you, > came merlin 's response.

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

< I wanted to ask what you are planning on doing ? There are only 30 of the dark mages left before you face the whizz. I am quite certain they all have laid a trap for you at one stop or another. > Falco columbarius 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 young man's tactics, he was sure enough Alan had a few surprises up his sleeve. < I also wanted to tell you that I am as luxuriously as I can go in the mid-range. It is taking an untold amount of energy each time as you said. By the way I have felt a svelte jump in your business leader as I said it is extremely slow. After the mid-range I am having a difficult clip increasing. >

< Just think it takes a petty bit for your body to adapt before you should even think of trying to go further. What I did today was the largest I have ever done, the sleep helped greatly but I do n't reckon I want to force 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. delight Alan be deliberate these last 30 are the tough of the lot. > Merlin warned.

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

Breathing tough 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 get too many more before the light council will be able-bodied to appear on this world. You sure you feel like going with me ? '' Alan asked a smile on his face as a sudden look of anger crossed Hopix 's face.

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

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

'' I believe you are right, maybe a calming meditation, '' 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 inscrutable 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 finger the tenseness leave his body amazing ! Then a new theme started to spring, hmmm Alan thought a little shifty but it might work.

Half an hour later, Alan and Hopix were leaving the bema, Alan feeling for the next mage he was going after. Nodding to Hopix they started to head in that commission as fast as possible. Finally they arrived at a ... tree diagram ? Shaking his school principal Alan knew they were unearthly dead reckoning he should expect it. Smiling then nodding to Hopix, Alan raised his powerfulness 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 structure of my next home ! '' Firing a ( here Alan just shook his head ) huge fireball at Alan the one-half birdie shaped mage started to express joy. `` I know you have a superior DoD against fire but this is quite different ! ''

Alan just nodded he 'd find the more intense heat but it was really nothing to him. Bouncing it back Alan watched as the gloomy mage 's face showed surprise as it extended its arm like appendages. Suddenly the face twisted into fear and hate as the fire ball did n't extinguish but built to a high 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 party favor and just yield up ! None of you have a chance, NONE of you ! ''

Turning away Alan smiled, ‘ That ought to do it,'he thought. Looking at the skirt creature mage Alan pushed some more, feeling the former lose the battle. Finally amidst an increasing amount of screaming as it died, several to a greater extent coloured mages appeared and started to fire unlike attacks at Alan. Many of the new arriver faces twisted into hate as they all tried to end Alan at the same time.

grin Alan had felt the approach of the ten that were now striking at his shell. Alan had depended on the fact that nigh of them were conceited about their exponent, good he thought as he slowly increased his shields and then started to crowd back. Hmmm Alan thought as he felt the familiar presence of the dark council 's champion. Turning his attention back to the new arriver, Alan made several different cutting movement as four of the new mages fell bleeding from cut on their throat and necks.

Several of those left started to press harder growling out their hatred of Alan. Increasing his world power even more Alan was almost as in high spirits 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 direct the inviolable. ‘ It was about time,'he thought, ‘ this would definitely be a challenge !'

Still the first that Alan had engaged was trying to break loose, again waggling his digit at him Alan thought I ought to try something dissimilar. Concentrating Alan could feel the ground beneath him and the dark mages ; smiling he reached down and a moment later three of the four left, screamed. various roots erupted from the priming and ripped them apart, the terminal only smiled as he pointed a stubby finger like appendage at Alan.

'' So mage Alan you can learn ! in effect it will make this victory over you that much sweeter ! '' With that the last mage faded to a mist that floated toward Alan, an evilness 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 fervour and you blood boiling out of your eubstance ! ''

Alan could only smile he 'd seen something like this before and awaited the approach shot of the darkness mage. As it drew closer Alan 's grin got bad making the mist faltering a minute ; that was all Alan needed as a freezing wave of low temperature erupted from Alan. Screaming the mist tried to avoid the common cold and almost made it.

'' I would say it had been a estimable fight but you were rather easy, '' Alan told the half frosty mist. `` It 's a ignominy you have been the most original yet, oh well. '' Stepping forward Alan brought a foot down on the frozen section of the mist effectively shattering it into grand of patch. Screaming the sinister mage cursed at Alan then stopped as it died.

turn back to the initiatory of the dark mages Alan got a curious grinning on his face. The first of Alan 's assailant optic got wide then it looked behind Alan and started to grin.

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

buns Alan a now intimate voice broke the air, `` I know you are n't talking about me ! You are a stupid and piteous fool to suppose I would help a weak idiot like you in fact. '' Suddenly there was a massive build up of big businessman then a rushing liberation that shot out and engulfed the animal. Screaming it was gone quicker than Alan thought it would be. `` I can not stand the weak and sniveling fools the council has working for them. That though, is their concern I could deal less. ''

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

'' Oh rest assured I do not ! Though when it comes to you who can know ? You are mine to belt down, the Sooner these impossible wastes are gone, the sooner I can feed on your mortal ! '' The potent dark mage said. `` I wo n't pop them ; that is your job as is dying at the appointed hour by my handwriting. So do us all a party favor, shoot down them quickly I thirst for an actual conflict against a real mage not here."HE kicked what was left of the first dark mages body. `` These wasteland of space. '' Laughing evilly the creature disappeared.

Alan shook his principal then sat to rest a few minute, he could already feel a Brobdingnagian multitude coming this way. There had to be a way to speed up the cognitive process. `` Hopix, do you recollect there is an easier way to complete the glade of these people ? ''

Sitting following to him her chin on her paw she also started to think, a few minutes 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 than 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 Sir Thomas More energy to fight down them trying to open them up awake then when they were asleep. The last mathematical group he 'd worked on had been this way Inferno it was deserving a shot ! Wiping out the home of the outset non-white mage Alan set about making a major city comparable to one that he 'd seen in the minds of many of the Lobrits. He 'd just finished 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 ground in sleep. Alan started on the first few thousand finding it three times easier than he thought it would have been. surprise 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 strain that he had before.

An hour later, Alan could only guess that he 'd had well over 200,000 there though this sentence he was surprised that only about 10,000 did n't need to be discharge. Shaking his head he sent all that were relinquish now into the city and set up all the protection. Sighing he still could n't believe that many chose to continue with their dark mage masters.

Another time of day passed and he was finally done, even with them asleep he 'd found that those that did n't require the help resisted him fiercely. Then he thought about what the dark council adept had said, shaking his head he could almost feel the fervor that the other had about facing him. Was the man, ( Alan guessed he had been at one clip ) really that much in love with fighting as Alan could experience ? Alan had just turned to Hopix when he felt a familiar spirit mien appear.

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

'' I 'm not sure if you can separate, '' Merlin replied. `` I was practicing again when I felt something case and I suddenly knew that I had increased into the mellow range. I am now where by far even close to you but I am feeling a hell of a lot more confidence than I was. '' Here Merlin waved his arm with a belittled flourish sending a small-scale shower of sparks out from his arm. `` I have never been able to do that before, neither have I been able to cogitate motility as far as I have. '' Leaning close Merlin told a now appall Alan in a whisper, `` I made it here in two motion. ''

'' What ! ? You 'd have to moved into ..., '' Alan started to smile, so the old man had finally moved into the high-pitched ranges. well Alan thought now the man was in for it that was for sure, the hold up nineteen might think he WAS an easier objective but now Ha ! Alan could only imagine all of their surprised faces when they went after him now.

Merlin smiled when he could see that Alan had the same revelation that he 'd had. Then he remembered the real reason he 'd arrive there, `` I came as fast as I could, the inaugural modest 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 aegis to the outer rampart, but I am afraid I have n't near the powerfulness you do. ''

Alan nodded he 'd feel microseism from the tribute he 'd erected but zilch all that severe yet. Then again with the strongest left that might switch quickly. `` I 'll manoeuvre there as soon as we are done here. '' Alan told a worried Merlin.

merlin 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 blast had been unlike than most that he 'd matte before, another electrical 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 safeguards he 'd put in spot then gathered up Hopix and they both vanished. Appearing not far from the low gear lieu 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 various case of energy towards the shields that Alan had erected around the town.

Growling Alan could sense the bearing of at to the lowest degree three of the substantial dark mages through the ten of the loyal Lobrits. Alan was approaching when he heard a voice, `` Hold mage Alan ! Under the rules of conquering those in this pathetic village are ours ! ''

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

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

Alan smirked and easily blocked the attempt even as various more thunderbolt guess toward him from prat. Hopix screamed a warning as all three of the bolts started to penetrate his shield. Damn it ! Distracted only a here and now Alan returned flaming catching the first of the three mages igniting its pelt. Amid the screams, the cobbler's last two poured on Thomas More big businessman finally breaking through, one barely grazing Alan 's arm. Grimacing Alan 's now almost useless arm fell at his side. Looking at Hopix 's raging aspect as she helped him to remain stomach Alan concentrated and they vanished.

They only managed to go a few thousand grand, both of the darkness mages decided to give chase. Again Alan tried to locomote them but the painfulness was starting to distract him, as again they only moved a few thousand yards. Finally crystalise of the town Alan and Hopix looked at his arm, though not as bad as the initiative time he 'd been bruise it was more painful. Alan was about to move again when pigeon hawk appeared.

'' I thought you were in trouble something had felt off when I felt your foremost relocation '' Alan could barely nod as the pain racked his body almost to the full stop that he was fighting to stay on conscious. `` I 've never tried this before but I have to try, '' pigeon hawk said as he placed a handwriting on Alan and Hopix.

More than half way to the asylum Merlin and his rider appeared startled Merlin recognized where they were. Shaking his head he could suddenly feel both of the following mages but they were at an extremum distance, damn had they moved that far ? Closing his eyes Merlin concentrated on the asylum and they vanished again appearing outside the front of the sanctuary. Again Merlin 's eyes grew gravid this was amazing ! This was howling ! This was, tinker's dam ! Merlin could experience the drain on his consistence and tycoon well he thought as he started to settle this sucks !

Hopix 's eyes were wide when had pigeon hawk 's magnate increased that much ? The whole time they had been here Merlin had never shown this lots power ! There was a sudden commotion as the Lobrits came pouring out of the asylum to persuade not only Alan but a now unconscious Falco columbarius inside.

The glum champion was shaking his foreland maybe he 'd given this mage Alan far too a lot credit to be hurt by such a tactics. Then again it was really the first clock 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 than to this Alan than met the eye. Yes further subject field was required that was for sure as shooting before they faced off against each other. With a smug and extremely confident look the dour champion vanished, already forming programme of manner to defeat Alan.

They managed to get Alan inside without incident as well as pigeon hawk ; that was 'til they set Alan down and the painful sensation shot through his body. Doing his best not to hollo Alan lay there as several healers started to act upon on him. Damn, Alan thought he could n't even feel them at initiative then slowly very slowly he started to sense a tiny bit of the botheration slice.

They had been at it for perhaps four hours when Alan heard Merlin stir with a moan. Hopix had added her big businessman to the healing also but it appeared that even her power was far insufficient to do all that much to his hurt. Falco columbarius 's eyes opened, ‘ damn,'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 configuration. Barely able to move Merlin directed some of his energy toward Alan, watching as it enveloped the arm. Alan 's middle snapped candid as he actually felt his arm healing. ‘ Who the hell was that,'he thought there was no one potent enough ...

Alan heard merlin groan then the healing that had started a few transactions before washed-out. Alan tried to act his arm not great but it was by far better than it had been. Looking at Merlin the man smiled then promptly passed out, darn Alan thought the man really had advanced his power that far ! Concentrating Alan could finally add to the healing as he felt the tender flesh become altogether. Alan 's last thought process as the healing had also drained him was he had to repay the man when they were both awake, well after the last seventeen mages, and the booster were gone .
