The man that showed up was someone powerful and should not be taken lightly. Arthur knew that, so he jumped and retreated a few steps.
One thing he had yet to do was to add his free points. Those nights in the nightclub had got him to level 25, which meant he had a few free points to use.

[Free points: 25]
Before, back when he was only a human, Arthur earned 3 free points per level, but now, as a dragon, he got 5.
These 25 points were easy to distribute, 15 in strength and 10 in agility. Arthur was fighting more in close-combat, and that man was carrying a sword, so the fight would probably be melee.
“You’re the person we are looking for, right? Finally!” The man said.
Arthur was eager to fight him. He had never faced a strong enemy like that man. Could he win against him? Or should he run?
No, running was not an option. Where would he run, anyway? To the city? The guards would most likely think he was a thug running from justice, and help that man in the end.
The Doom Order had money, and its members were wealthy. They could bribe the guards in no time, and Arthur would end up in a bad situation.
Despite all that, Arthur felt confident of winning against that man.
“I’m a dragon. I can not lose to this lowly human.” Arthur thought.
Two blazing wings formed behind his back, improving his mobility by a large margin. The man had a surprised face after seeing it. Only a few people could use abilities that made flying possible.
Arthur would not give the man any change to retaliate. With two flaming wings and claws, he flew towards the still shocked man.
The speed Arthur had with his wings and his newly added agility points was no joke. He could barely be seen.
In an instant, Arthur was in front of the man again, with his flaming sharp claws aiming for vital points. A deafening sound, as the claws hit the sword. Arthur had the upper hand, as the man was sent flying, almost hitting a nearby tree.
“What?”
The man could not believe it. Few had been the times that he lost to someone in a direct exchange of blows. It damaged his pride.
It was his time to show his hidden cards. The cultist drew magical symbols in a quick manner, all of which were drawn on his sword. These symbols shone, and more swords appeared flying around them.
A sword formation, it seemed, or maybe all these swords were only illusional. Arthur had no idea.
What he could do was to keep attacking that man with everything he got, until he won. Arthur flew once again towards the man, trying to hit him with his claw.
The man was ready this time, and all the surrounding swords flew towards Arthur, attempting to stop his attack.
Six swords came to clash with Arthur, and he blocked each one of them using his claws. These swords were sent flying after that, as there was no one wielding them to withstand the force of the impact, but they returned.
It did not matter how many times Arthur blocked the swords, they would fly back and try to strike him again. A pain in the ass, and that also gave the cultist more time to prepare his other attacks.
If the fight continued like that, Arthur would eventually lose. One sword hit him on the leg, and it started to bleed. The number of health points it took away was minimal, but if all the six swords started to hit, then he would be in trouble.
Arthur gazed at the cultist, and noticed that the sun had moved, and a shadow formed behind him. It was the perfect opportunity to use the void step, so he did.
In an instant, Arthur was no longer flying and blocking the swords. He had vanished from everyone’s sight, and the cultist was surprised once again.
“Where did you go, bastard?”
Inside the shadowy part of the dream realm, Arthur could see him, although a dark curtain was blocking his sight. He went behind the man, and then got out of that place, appearing right behind him.
It was impossible for the man to react in time. Arthur pierced his claw on the man’s
