Chapter 468 The Dragon's Heist: Sibling's Trap

Name:The dragon's harem Author:


BAM! Lydia rushed forward, her sword burning with holy magic.

"Sorry, but here you die!" Vars shouted, swinging his staff [Rib Slasher]

With his swing, tens of sharpened ribs flew out, cutting anything they came into contact with. When one of them touches the ground, it leaves a deep gouge.noVe/lB-1n

CLANG! With a swing of her sword, Lydia deflected one of the ribs away, releasing a holy spark.

^I knew it. Alphonse might be stronger and faster, but he's ultimately a commander. His movements are calculated, so he's easy to guide away. This woman here is a different breed. She's a frontliner, a suicidal idiot who charges head first.^ Vars growled, seeing her running toward him directly instead of taking cover.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! Lydia smacked all the ribs away as she charged forward, her eyes fixed on Vars's phylactery, the red gem in his chest. That's where a lich hides its soul, its true body, and one weakness.

[Divine Cleaver] Rushing across the blades, she lifted her sword and swung down at Vars.

"You maniac," Vars growled. [Bone Spike] A massive bone emerged from the ground, rushing toward Lydia's chest.

Vars expected her to dodge, but she didn't bother moving. The bone went straight through her upper shoulder as she kept swinging down.

CLAP! With a massive blast, she cut Vars from the shoulder down to the hips but missed the course due to the stab and Vars dodging.

Thud! Arad appeared behind Vars, swinging his sword at the core.

^Now this one is faster and stronger than her, as bold even, but he lacks divine magic to finish me off.^ Vars snatched his core and threw it away before Arad could cut it.

"You slithery bastard!" Arad growled.

GAH! Lydia puked blood as she grabbed the bone in her shoulder, pulling it off. The holy magic running in her veins stopped the bleeding as she slowly healed.

"Are you okay?" Arad stared at her.

"It's only a scratch," She replied, "Pin him down for me. I will send him back to dust."

"Got you on that," Arad was about to fly behind Vars when Lydia stopped him, "One question, where is Jack?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen him or Liliana since before Vars betrayed us," Arad replied.

"Knowing Jack and if his sister is the same, they are probably preparing a plan or a trap," Lydia said with a worried face.

"Even I can't sense them around," Arad said, but almost immediately, he felt something.

On the castle's walls, Jack hid behind the crenellations with his sister and hordes of soldiers, giggling like they went insane. "We humans aren't defeated yet," DING! He pulled a string linked to tens of mangonel, trebuchet, and the enter castle's defensive siege weaponry.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Vars heard the siege weapons fire from the castle, and he turned around, seeing a wave of urns flying toward him. ^Those urns, I can feel it. They are filled with holy water.^

The soldiers in the castle stood, pointing the arrows at the sky.

"The bastards! They aren't aiming at me, but at the undead," He growled.

"Holy Rain!" A soldier shouted as they fired their arrows, breaking the urns in the sky to rain down holy water on the whole city.

As the holy water rained, Vars could hear his undead scream. Such a small amount wouldn't be enough to harm him, but the small minions he relied on were a different story.

He turned to fly toward the castle. ^I bet they have priests blessing barrels over barrels of water behind the walls. If I could kill them, this rain would end.^

SWOSH! As he flew, he could see a large urn flying toward him. ^Useless, no matter how much water they splash on me, It won't be strong enough to harm me. I will take a page out of your book, paladin.^ He remembered Lydia charging forth and decided to do the same.

As he passed by the urn, time seemed to slow for him as his senses spiked. Something was off.

CRACK! The urn's lid burst open, and a hook flew off, catching a building as Jack emerged, swinging back at Vars with a smile.

"You only knew sister as a rogue," Jack caught Vars by the collarbone and swung Amaterasu's wakizashi at his core.

Liliana ran away from the trebuchet she used to fire Jack and went toward the row of mangonel, "Seventy degrees left, fire then send the horses!" She shouted with a smile on her face. "Use ropes and the ballista to climb to the walls and activate the weapons there. None of the undead will escape the city!"

The soldiers tied ropes to the ballista's bolts, firing them at the wall to create paths to cross above the undead-infested buildings.

^I make traps for people, and she makes them for armies. It only took a few words to grant her control over the military. You and your minions are but flies caught in her web.^ Jack smiled as he pushed the wakizashi toward Vars's phylactory.

"You're one slippery human," Vars growled, spikes of bone bursting from his body.

GAH! Jack gasped as he blocked the spikes with his artificial arm and leg. Vars took the chance to fly away, but Jack wasn't letting him go that easily.

CLANG! He fired the hook at a building, swinging around it to turn, and then fired the hook again, catching Vars by the ribs as he pulled himself toward him.

"You're a mere human!" Vars shouted.

CLACK! Jack stepped on a building wall, trying to prevent Vars from flying away. Only the pull strength kept Jack standing on the wall.

"You can say, I'm two-thirds the man I was before," Jack growled, activating his artificial leg to pull harder. CLANG! With one powerful jerk, he swung Vars to the ground where Arad, Lydia, and Eris awaited him.

CRACK! As Vars smacked to the ground, he could see Jack falling after him, pointing at him with his hand cannon.

Arad rushed from the front with a void slash while Lydia from the back with a Divine cleaver.

Eris thrust her spear from the side, burning like a star. And Aella to the side, pointing her bow at his core.

"GUG!" Gug shouted, swinging her greatsword at the cube that sealed Gojo.

"Gura!" Gura did the same with all her might.

CRACK! The cube cracked, and they could finally sense Gojo's raging magic escaping. The moment he's out, this whole thing would end.
