Chapter 1026 Dragonspeed Part 2

"Man, and here I thought that my life was fucked up. You must be in love with your best friend who’s also your sister." Ajatar laugh made the mountain under which his lair was located rumble.

His lizard form shapeshifted into a humanoid body that retained the scales and the original mass. Yet now Ajatar had legs, arms and stood as tall as Faluel, reaching over 20 meters (66’).

"Jump in." The Drake placed his huge palm in front of Lith who was in too big of a rush to ask for an explanation and just obeyed.

"I can’t open a Warp Steps leading so far from here and I doubt you have the time that I need to finish my business before I can give you a hand." Ajatar nodded at several cauldrons and magic circles that formed his experiment.

Life Vision revealed that the Drake was somehow keeping them stable from a distance thanks to several tendrils of Spirit Magic. They linked the caster with its creations, allowing him to put the unstable energies in pause.

’Am I a bad person for wishing that Faluel will teach us this stuff while our friends are probably risking their lives or worse?’ Solus couldn’t take her eyes off the magical apparatus, whereas Lith remained more focused than a laser.

"Which leaves us with best next thing. I know you have wings, so you’d better use them. Dragonspeed." A Warp Steps leading in the middle of nowhere appeared in mid-air, at a dozen meters distance from the Drake.

"Don’t you mean ’godspeed’?" Lith asked.

"Nah, that’s just an expression. Dragonspeed is real." Ajatar covered the hand he was holding Lith on with the other and then started to spin on himself like a shot-putter.

Yet instead of being done after one spin, the Emperor Beast became faster and faster, to the point that when Lith flew through the dimensional corridor, he had already reached a speed so great that the protective aura surrounding the Skinwalker armor caught fire because of air resistance.

That was before Lith activated his flight spell. Before he shapeshifted into his Wyrmling form and activated both air and fire fusion.

Lith’s flight spell, Soaring Hawk, not only allowed him to move at several hundreds of km/h (mph), but also created a wind blade in front of his path that protected his eyes and boosted his speed by generating a slipstream effect.

Fire and air fusion, instead, gave his wings such power that each one of their flaps produced a thunderclap. Thanks to the Ajatar’s Steps, Lith had skipped a couple of dozens of kilometers and started his flight at a breakneck speed.

He looked like a black comet shrouded by flames that soared the night sky, coming closer to its destination with each passing second.

Baba Yaga’s hut, down in the mines, now.

"Are you saying that I’ve been betrayed?" Phloria asked.

"No, I’m saying that you would be dead and buried if I didn’t send Nandi to help you. The moment you get out of here, nothing will stop your enemies from achieving their goal." Baba Yaga/Nana replied.

"So this is blackmail!" Friya was so angry that she overcame Baba Yaga’s aura and managed to stand up. "Either we submit or you throw us into the wolf’s maw, correct?"
