Update 8
He Must be Stopped.
Gladstone City, Outside Area.
Holmes ke Earth Hounds ground ko smell karte hue bhaag rahe the aur unke piche Holmes aur bache hue dark elves bhaag rahe the. Gladstone City ke log Magic Academy par pohochne se pehle hi waha se sabhi dark elves aur Holmes nikal gaye the.
Agar kisi ko capture karna ho toh usse jaldi jaldi kar ke capture nahi kiya jaa sakta tha. Kuch 1 hour ke baad un sabhi ko Raj ke route ke baremei pata chala. Dekhte hi dekhte vo sabhi us port ke paas aa gaye the.
River ki wajah se earth hounds frustrate ho gaye the aur vo wahi par reh kar us spot ko smell karne lag gaye jaha par Raj khada tha.
Yeh dekh kar Tarry aage aaya aur usne Holmes ko dekhte hue kaha.
“Master Holmes vo jo bhi hai vo zarur yaha se kisi boat se aage badha hoga. Ab ham kya kare ?”
Is par Holmes aage aaya aur usne river ko dekhte hue kaha.
“Yeh baat mujhe bhi samajh mei aa gayi hai.”
Yeh keh kar Holmes phir se river ko dekhte hue kuch sochne lag gaya.
Tabhi uske mind mei kuch aaya aur usne apne piche khade ek dark elf ko dekhte hue kaha.
“Jao aur is river ke flow ko follow karo. Vo zyada time tak toh river se travel nahi kar sakta hai. Vo zarur kahi par ruka hoga aur ground se aage badha hoga.”
Is par Terry ne kaha.
“Lekin Master Holmes kya ho vo agar vo opposite direction mei gaya ho toh ?”
Terry ke is question se Holmes samajh gaya tha ke uske saath jo dark elves hai vo puri tarah se idiots hai. Usne apne sir ko hilate hue phir se river ko dekha aur kaha.
“Yeh ek probability hai ke usse opposite direction mei boat chalani nahi aati hai. Iske chances hundreds mei se ek ke hai. Lekin ab takt oh hame yeh samajh mei aa gaya hai ke vo sabhi divide ho kar travel kar rahe hai aur kya pata ham jiske piche jaa rahe ho vo single hi travel kar raha ho. Toh ab tum kaha dekhna chahte ho opposite direction mei ya aage badhne wali direction mei ?”
Yeh sunkar Terry ne kaha.
“Aage badhne wali direction mei.”
Terry Holmes ki baato ko sunkar puri tarah se convince ho gaya tha. River ke flow ke oppostide direction mei boat chalana ek skilful kaam tha aur saath mei kaafi hard bhi. Even vo khud is sab mei achha nahi tha. Aise mei kuch teenagers aisa kaise kar sakte the.
Issi ke saath sabhi dark elves river ke side se aage badhne lag gaye. Un sabhi ne abhi aise robes pehne hue the ke un sabhi ke faces uske andar achhe se chip gaye the. Is wajah se vo bina kisi dar ke chalte hue jaane lag gaye.
Kuch 20 minutes ke baad earth hounds ko kuch feel hua aur vo zor se howl karne lag gaye. Unhone ground ko phir se smell kiya aur jaldi jaldi aage badhne lag gaye.
Yeh dekh kar Holmes ne khush hote hue kaha.
“Lagta hai hame phir se us person ka scent mila hai.”
Kisi ko bhi track karna kisi bhi gamble se kam nahi tha. Yeh koi bhi nahi bata sakta tha ke aage ki situation kya ho sakti hai. Lekin abhi ke liye luck shayad Holmes ke saath tha.
Holmes ne yeh notice kar liya tha ke baki ek dark elves warriors bhi ab uski respect karne lag gaye hai. Yeh sab kuch Holmes jaise enjoy kar raha tha.
Khud ko realise kiye bina hi usne apne back ko straight kiya aur apne sir ko halke se upar ki taraf utha liya.
Raj ke scent ko smell karte hue vo sabhi ussi market wale area mei aa gaye the. Waha par abhi bhi koi nahi tha. Kyo ki us area mei zyada koi nahi tha is liye earth hounds ab achhe se Raj ke scent ko follow kar sakte the. Is wajah se earth hounds kaafi fast ho gaye the aur unke saath sabhi dark elves bhi.
Kuch 1 hour ke time ke baad vo sabhi Old Quarters ke gate ke samne khade the.
Yeh dekh kar Holmes ne kaha.
“Mujhe yeh bilkul bhi sahi nahi lag raha hai. Vo sabhi Old City Quarters ki taraf gaye hue hai. Yaha par kisi ek ken ahi balki earth hounds ko baki sabhi humans ke bhi scents feel ho rahe hai. Kahi vo sabhi us Female Human Mage Warrior ko bachane ke liye toh yaha nahi aaye ?”
Holmes ab kuch tension mei aa gaya tha. Usse pata tha ke dark elves assassins ka main targets mei se ek MI 3 ki Female Human Mage Warrior bhi hai. Unke superiors ne unhe kaha tha ke usse kisi bhi price par zinda capture kar ke lana hai.
Tabhi Holmes jaldi se chillate hue kehta hai.
“Jaldi chalo!”
Is sab ke baremei soch kar Holems ko kuch bhi sahi nahi lag raha tha.
Kyo ki Old City Quarters ke andar zyada log nahi the is liye earth hounds bhi kaafi speed se aage badh rahe the. Kuch 10 minutes ke baad vo sabhi ussi fountain wale area mei aa gaye the.
Waha ke nazare ko dekh kar Holmes aur uske saath aaye hue sabh dark elves kaafi surprise ho gaye.
Us area ke aaspas jo buildings thi vo fire lagne ki wajah se destroy ho gayi thi. Unmei se abhi bhi kuch kuch smoke nikal raha tha. Yeh sab kuch yahi show kar raha tha ke yaha par jo bhi hua hai vo kuch der pehle hi hua hai.
10 se zyada dead bodies niche ground par giri hui thi. Unki destroy hui body ko dekh kar yeh koi bhi nahi bata sakta tha ke yeh koun hai par unke clothes achhe se bata rahe the ke yeh koi aur nahi balki dak elves hai.
Holmes ne waha ke ground par paani ko dekha toh vo usse dekhne ke liye aage badh gaya. Usne apne haat ke backside se paani ko touch kiya jo abhi bhi cold tha. Saath hi uske andar abhi bhi kuch ice bachi hui thi.
Yeh sab dekh kar Holmes ne apne aap se kaha.
“Magic Power….Yeh Lesser Hailstorm spell hai. Vo sabhi yahi the.”
Holmes ke face par ab kuch kuch gussa bhi dikhne lag gaya tha. Yeh gussa is liye nahi tha ke yaha par koi aur Battle Mage yap hir Mage Warrior tha. Balki is liye tha ke yeh jo koi bhi tha vo high level spells ko use kar sakta tha.
Lesser Hailstorm ek level 2 ki spell thi. Is sab se Holmes ko yahi samajh mei aa raha tha ke un sabhi bachho ko saath koi Battle Mage ya phir ek Mage Warrior hai.
Holmes ko yeh bhi lag raha tha ke agar jo vo soch raha hai vo sahi hai toh vo Battle Mage yaa phir vo Mage Warrior skill level mei uske hi jitna hoga. Yeh ab Holmes ke liye bhi kuch trickier ho gaya tha.
Lekin Holmes ko apne magic powers par kaafi confidence tha. Agar vo sahi hua toh un sabhi bachho aur MI 3 ke members ke saath jo Battle Mage ya phir Mage Warrior hai vo usse zyada age mei nahi hoga. Kya pata uske paas utna experience hi na ho. Kya pata usne sirf kuch hi spells ko master kar liya ho par uske paas superior magic abilities na ho. Holmes ko yahi lag raha tha ke vo un sabhi ko achhe se defeat kar sakta hai.
Apne life ka kaafi bada time magic research mei bitane ke baad Magic ki taraf Holmes ki ek khud ki understanding ho gayi thi. Yahi uske confidence ka source tha.
Tabhi Holmes ko apne piche kisi ke footsteps sunayi diye. Usne palat kar dekha toh uske piche Terry khada tha lekin uske saath ek aur dark elf assassin bhi khada tha. Us dark elf assassin ko dekhte hi Holmes samajh gaya tha k evo uski team ke saath yaha par nahi aaya hai. Iska yahi meaning nikal raha tha ke yaha par jo kuch bhi hua hai usse is dark elf assassin ne apni aankho se dekha hai.
Holmes ne us dark elf assassin ko dekhte hue usse pucha.
“Yaha pr kya hua tha ?”
Shock aur dar abhi bhi us dark elf assassin ke face par tha. Usne waise hi darte hue kaha.
“Vo koi Battle Mage tha. Vo bhi kaafi dangerous magic ke saath. Usne hamare leader ko bhi maar diya aur dekhte hi dekhte Hailstorm ko bhi summon kiya. Saath hi vo Annie ko bhi lekar bhaag gaya. Dark Mother ki kasam vo kaafi horrible tha.”
Yeh sunkar Holmes ne aage pucha.
“Ab vo kis direction ki taraf gaye hai ?”
“Mujhe nahi pata hai. Hamne unhe ek gali ke andar hotel ke samne kho diya. Ham us hotel ke andar bhi gaye par vo sabhi waha par bhi nahi the. Hamne us secret passage ko bhi dhundhne ki koshish ki par vo bhi hame nahi mil paya.”
Vo dark elf assassin abhi bhi kuch dara hua hi tha. Uske face se vo expressions jaa hi nahi rahe the. Usse pata tha ke unke is mission ke fail hone ki wajah se unhe heavily punish kiya jaane wala hai.
Yeh sab sunkar Holmes apni jagah par khada ho gaya aur chalte hue apne earth hounds ke paas aaya jo 6 feet tall the.
Hotel ke gate ke liye eath hounds kaafi bade the. Vo uske andar nahi jaa sakte the. Is sab se frustrate ho kar Holmes ne apne aap se kaha.
“Damm Hotel!”
Lekin Holmes ke paas 2nd plan bhi tha. Us secret passage ko dhund nikalna difficult ho sakta tha. Agar vo aisa karte hai toh unka kaafi time waste ho sakta tha. Waise bhi koi bhi secret passage zyada long nahi ho sakta tha. Zyada se zyada vo 600 feet se lekar 1000 feet tak hi ho sakta tha. Usse zyada long secret passage bana kar koi bhi benefit nahi tha.
Yeh sab soch kar Holmes uske paas khade ek assassin ko puchta hai.
“Abhi tum sabhi kitney ho ?”
Us par us assassin ne answer kiya.
“Ham sabhi mila kar kuch 76 assassins bache hue hai.”
“Aur vo abhi kaha par hai ?”
“Ham sabhi split ho gaye the us human team ko dhundhne ke liye.”
Yeh sunkar Holmes ne us dark elf assassin se kaha.
“Very Good!”
Yeh keh kar Holmes waha se nikalne laga. Uske mind mei kuch aa raha tha. Vo yahi soch raha tha k evo un sabhi humans ke piche kyo jaa raha hai ? Ab jab vo yaha se bhaag gaye hai toh un sabhi ke yaha se nikal kar kaha jaane ke chances sab se zyada ho sakte hai ? Kyo na mein un sabhi kea age jaa kar unki jaane wali jagah par hi unka wait karu ?
Par yeh sab sochne ke baad bhi usse yeh question tha ke vo sabhi jaa kaha sakte hai.
Tabhi usse kuch yaad aaya aur shayad usse uske question ka answer bhi wahi tha.
Usse samajh mei aa gaya tha ke yeh sabhi humans yaha se nikal kar ek hi jagah jaa sakte hai aur vo jagah hai City Guard Walls. Agar vo waha par jaa kar waha ke situation ko handle kar paate hai toh vo unke samne jo situation hai usse yeh sabhi humans turn kar sakte the. Yeh unke liye kaafi easy ho sakta tha. Nahi vo aisa nahi hone de sakta tha. Vo kisi bhi halat mei in humans ko waha par pohochne nahi de sakta tha.
Yeh sab soch kar Holmes ki heatbeat kaafi fast ho gayi thi. Holmes ke liye ab yeh important nahi bacha tha ke vo Annie ya phir us Battle Mage ko capture kar sakta hai ya nahi. Balki abhi uske liye yahi important tha ke chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye par city gyards useless hi rehne chahiye.
Agar vo Battle Mage aur MI 3 ke members City Guard Walls mei enter karne mei successful ho gaye toh uske baad vo sabhi unstoppable ho jaynge. Wahi Holmes aur uske sabhi saathi jinhone Gladstone City ko infiltrate kiya tha vo certainly maare jaa sakte the.
Holmes ne jaldi se sabhi ko zor se chillate hue kaha.
“Sabhi apne weapons ko lekar mere saath chalo. Ham sabhi Horas Castle jaa rahe hai.”
Horas Castle City Lord Hesman Horas ka family castle tha. Vo castle ek valley mei tha jo Old City Quarters ke sab se northern most region mei tha
City Lord Hesman ko dark elf assassins ne pehle hi maar diya tha.
Usse kuch 3 hours pehle hi ek female assassin ki help se poison de kar maar diya gaya tha. Is female assassin ko dark elves ne kaafi painstakingly 10 years train kiya hua tha. Sahi kaha jaaye toh Horas Castle ke andar ke sabhi Mage Warriors ko bhi maar diya gaya tha.
Horas Castle se City Guard Walls sab se paas mei thi. City Guards ke commander ko pichle din hi waise hi poison de kar maar diya gaya tha aur saath mei baki bache bade officers ko bhi maar diya gaya tha. Aise mei city guards leaderless the. Even kuch ne try kiya ke vo bache hue city guards ko lead kar sake par unki position itni high nahi thi.
Upar se unke haie guards ek dark elves army ke liye kisi bhi tarah se threat nahi the.
Par Holmes ko yahi lag raha tha ke Annie aur vo Battle Mage City Guard Walls par pohoch jaate hai toh vo dono hi prominent position ko hold karte hue waha ki situation ko handle kar sakte the.
Har tarah ke Mage aur Mage Warriors ka social status kaafi high hota tha. Holmes khudh bhi koi official commander nahi tha lekin commander aur 1st officer ke maare jaane ke baad wahi tha jo ek Di Facto leader ban gaya tha. Un sabhi dark elf assassins ko kisi strong leader ki zarurat thi jiske piche vo chal sakte. Ab Holmes ke saath aaye hu dark elves aur yaha ke dark elves milaa kar kuch 150 dark elves warriors ho gaye the.
Yeh sabhi warriors level 2 ke Mage Warriors the.
Un sabhi ko dekhte hue Holmes ne zor se kaha.
“Ham sabhi ko jaldi karna hoga. Kya pata hamare paas abhi bhi kuch time bacha ho.”
Yeh keh kar Holmes ne apne fingers ko snap kiya aur uske aisa karte hi vo earth hounds niche jhuk gaye aur unmei se ek par Holmes baith gaya. Jaise hi usne un earth hounds ko aage badhne ka ishara kiya waise hi vo kaafi speed se aage badh gaye.
Sabhi dark elf warriors bhi uske piche kaafi speed se aane lag gaye the.
Earth Hounds kaafi fast the. Jaldi hi Holmes ne sabh dark elves ko piche chod diya tha aur akele hi aage badh gaya tha. Yeh kaafi risky tha lekin abhi vo is sab ke baremei bilkul bhi nahi soch raha tha. Holmes ko khud ki powers par kaafi confidence tha ke vo us Human Battle Mage ko rok sakta hai. Even MI 3 ke members ke saath hone ke baad bhi vo usse rok sakta hai.
Wahi dark elves Annie aur us unknown Battle Mage ko rokne ke liye aage badh toh gaye lekin vo yeh notice nahi kar paaye ke un sabhi ko koi fountain square ke ek corner se chup kar dekh raha hai.
Yeh koi aur nahi balki Merry thi. Elemental Healing aur half and hour ki rest ke baad Merry ne apne half se bhi zyada ki strength ko recover kar liya tha.
Yeh sab dekh kar usne apne aap se kaha.
“Nahi, yeh bilkul bhi achha nahi hai. Commander ke saath Prince Aditya aur Master Raj aur unke sabhi friends bhi danger mei aa gaye hai. Mujhe un sabhi ko alert karna hoga.”
Issi ke saath Merry chup kar us hotel mei chali jaati hai aur waha se secret passage ko open kar ke kaafi se speed se aage badhti hai. Kuch hi der mei vo us couple ke ghar ke andar thi.
Jab couple ne Merry ko waha par dekha toh vo kuch surprise hi ho gaye the.
Merry ne unhe dekhte hue unse pucha.
“Kya commander yaha aayi thi ?”
Is par us ladke ne apne sir ko haa mei hilaya aur kaha.
“Haan! Vo aur baki sabhi yahi the. Kuch 3 minutes pehle hi vo yaha se gaye hai.”
Is par Merry ne pucha.
“Abhi vo kis direction mei gaye hai ?”
Merry ke question par us ladke ne kaha.
“Mein sure toh nahi hu lekin vo sabhi north ki taraf gaye hai.”
Ek MI 3 ka member hone ki wajah se usse yeh achhe se pata tha ke usse jina pucha jaate utna hi answer karna hai.
Yeh sunkar Merry ne kaha.
“Thik hai mein samajh gayi. Ab tum ek kaam karo, is passage ko abhi ke abhi seal kar do. Agar waha se koi bhi aata hai toh vo definitely enemy hai.”
Yeh sunkar us couple ne jaldi se yeh kaam karna start kar diya.
Merry us ghar se nikalne ke baad kuch half and hour ke andar hi sabhi tak pohoch gayi thi aur usne sabhi ko dark elves ke baremei bata diya tha.
Agar time ki baat kare toh dark elf army ne yahi time choose kiya tha Gladstone City par ek full fledge attack karne ke liye. Par Raj aur uske friends ki wajah se vo abhi tak aisa kar nahi paaye the.
Par Raj janta tha ke sirf portal tower ko destroy karne se vo dark elf army ko kuch der tak hi rok sakte hai. Ab unke paas zyada time nahi bacha tha.
Ab Merry bhi unke saath City Guard Walls ki taraf badhne lag gayi. Usne sabhi ko sab kuch detail mei bataya tha ke usne fountain square ke paas kya kya dekha tha.
Jab sabhi ne 150 dark elves warriors ke baremei suna toh sabhi speechless ho gaye the.
Ek 150 dark elves warriors ki force sach mei dangerous thi. Lekin un sabhi se zyada dangerous tha un sabhi ke saath aane wala dark elf Battle Mage.
Ek ordinary person ke liye Mage uya phi Mage Warrior kaafi bada naam tha, Unki thinking se Mage ya phir Mage Warriors ke paas vo hai jo kisi bhi normal person ke paas nahi hai aur vo hai Wisdom. Sabhi Magicians aur Mage Warriors mysterious aur powerful hote the. Unhe dekh kar koi normal person bhi dar sakta tha. Koi bhi normal warrior yeh bilkul bhi nahi soch sakta tha ke kisi Magician ya phir kisi Mage Warrior ke paas kis taraf ke attacks ho sakte hai.
Kaafi baar aisa hua tha ke kisi warrior ko kabhi samajh mei hi nahi aaya ke vo kis tarah se maara gaya,
Magicians aur Mage Warriors ko yahi baat unhe kaafi fearful banati hai.
Sabhi ke constant speed ke saath aage badh rahe the. Koi bhi ek dusre se baat nahi kar raha tha.
Aage badhte hue Annie Raj aur Aditya ke paas aayi aur usne kaha.
Annie-Prince Aditya, Master Raj ab ham kya kare ?
Ek Battle Mage ya phir Mage Warrior ko face karne ke liye bhi ek Battle Mage ya phir Mage Warrior ki hi zarurt thi. Annie ko ab tak itna toh samajh mei aa gaya tha ke Raj ka mind sab se sharp hai. Raj achhe se is situation ko samajhne ki capability rakhta hai. Agar vo aur uske friends nahi aate toh MI 3 ke baki members ke saath ya toh vo maari jaati ya phir usse capture kiya jata.
Kyo ki MI 3 ek military intelligence agency thi is liye unke paas dark elf magicians aur Mage Warriors jo powerful the unkke record the. Un records mei Holmes ka bhi naam tha. Upar se Holmes ek level 1 ka elite Battle Mage tha. Aise mei uske baremei MI 3 ke members ko kaise pata nahi hoga. Merry ne aane ke baad Raj aur bakiyo ko bhi Holmes ke baremei bata diya tha.
Is ke wajah se Raj ko uske opponent ke barmei ek general idea aa gaya tha.
Dark elf Battle Mage ek level 2 ka elite mage tha. Uski speciality elemental aur summoning spells mei sab se zyada thi. Saath hi vo dark elves ke Silver Moon Mage Council ka ek member bhi tha.,
Agar usse Magic Academy ke teachers ke saath compare kiya jaaye toh Holmes un sabhi se strong tha. Uske paas ek Supreme Magic Skill bhi tha jiska naam tha Swift Spellcasting.
Supreme Spell Casting ke under Holmes level 1 elemental spell fireball ko bhi incredible speed ke saath cast kar sakta tha.
Level 1 spell fireball level 0 fireball spell ka upgraded version thi. Ek level 1 fireball spell ek level 0 fireball spell se power mei zyada thi. Agar level 0 fireball spell ek firecracker hai toh level 1 fireball spell ek grenade hai.
Aise sunne mei aaya tha ke koi 3 Mage Warriors ne milkar Holmes par attack kiya tha lekin Holmes ne apne supreme magic skill se un tino Mage Warriors ko wahi maar diya tha.
Issi wajah se Holmes ko ek aur naam diya gaya tha. Fire Canon ka.
Merry sab kuch Raj aur Aditya ko batate jaa rahi thi. I sab ko sunkar Raj jaldi hi plan banane mei lag gaya. Uske saath MI 3 ke Mage Warriors aur Annie jaisi powerful Mage Warrior bhi thi. Upar se Raj aur uske friends ke paas bhi ek level 2 ka defensive magic bracelet tha. Saath hi uske friends bhi ab tak kaafi Mana recover kar chuke the.
Lekin Raj koi bhi risk nahi lena chahta tha. Is liye usne apne saath laayi hui Mana Potions ki bottles ko apne friends ko de di.
Kyo ki Raj aur Aditya ko MI 3 ke Outpost par hue attack ke baremei pata nahi tha is liye unke paas Mana Potions ki bottles kam thi.
Saath hi MI 3 ke Mage Warriors ne bhi usse nahi liya. Vo sabhi experience persons the aur apne Mana ko jaldi se recover kaise kiya jata hai yeh jante the.
Raj ne ek nazar daal kar sabhi ko dekha toh paya ke sabhi almost apne peak condition par hai. Is sab se vo kuch free feel karne lag gaya tha.
Ab Raj apne mind mei plan banane lag gaya tha.
Raj ne apne aap se kaha.
Raj-Hamara opponent kaafi powerful hai. Lekin hame uske strength ke baremei utna hi pata hai jitna hame Merry ne bataya ha. Lekin agar ham quality ki baat kare toh hamare jitney ke chances zyada hai. Shayad ham sabhi milkar us dark elf mage ko handle kar sakte hai.”
Holmes ek level 2 Battle Mage tha jo kisi bh person ke liye kaafi powerful tha. Aise mei Raj jo abhi apne teen age mei tha vo uske jaise opponent ko handle karne ke baremei soch raha tha.
Ek taraf Holmes tha jisne apne magical skils par confidence tha toh ek taraf Raj jise apne plan par confidence tha.
Kuch der baad Raj ne Annie ko dekha aur usse thumbs up ka ishara kiya.
Annie ne Raj ke ishara ko samajh kar ek gehri saans chodi. Ek powerful Mage Warrior hone ke baad bhi vo kaafo tension mei thi.
Annie ke saath saath MI 3 ke baki members ne bhi ek gehri saans chodi.
Kuch 5 minutes ke baad unhe City Guard ka flag dikhne laga tha. Saath hi kuch distance par unhe castle bhi dikhne lag gaya tha.
Yeh dekh kar Annie ne sabhi ko dekhte hue kaha.
Annie-Jaldi! Jaldi! Jaldi1 Ham sabhi ab kuch hi distance par hai.
Annie ki baato ne MI 3 ke members ke saath Raj aur uske friends ko bhi excited kar diya tha.
Abhi Annie ne apni baar puri hi ki thi ke usne aage kaha.
Annie-Suno, hamahre piche se footsteps ki aawaz aa rahi hai. Koi kaafi speed ke saath hamari taraf badh raha hai.
Raj yeh sunkar piche sir kar ke dekhne hi wala tha ke tabhi usse kuch feel hua. Mana ki ek great wave jo unki hi taraf aa rahi thi.
Raj ne uski taraf aa rahe danger ko sense kar liya tha aur kisi beast ki tarah vo palat gaya aur uski taraf aane wale attack ko jhelne ke liye ready ho gaya.
Kyo ki situation kaafi dangerous thi is liye Raj ne apne aaspas zyada focus nahi kuya aur apne Mana ko release karte hue usne apne haat mei pehne hue Band of Protection ko activate kar diya.
Raj ke aisa karte hi uske band mei s light flash hone lag gayi. Ek crystal clear glow ke saath vo light Raj ke haato se hote hue aage badh gayi aur usne Raj ke pure body ko cover kar liya tha. Us light mei magical runes bhi Raj ke body ke aaspas ghum rahe the. Is wajah se Raj ne jo ordinary robe pehna hua tha vo ab kaafi grand aur elaborate lagne lag gaya tha.
Guardian Barrier!
Yeh ek level 2 ki spell thi. Iska defence kisi bhi magical attack ke against strong tha lekin physical attacks ke mamle mei yeh weak thi.
Jaise hi Raj ke body ko cover karne wali light ka glow kam hua waise hi usse apne samne fire ke flashes dikh gaye the. Raj ne jaldise apne roght side mei khade Aditya ko aur apne left side mei khadi Annie ko Apne dono haato se side mei push kar diya aur apne haato ko apne face ke samne kar diya taki vo un fireballs ke impact se khud ko bacha sake.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Dekhte hi dekhte Raj par 3 fireballs aakar blast hue. Wahi aur Annie, MI 3 ke members aur Raj ke friends ko toh pehle kuch bhi samajh mei nahi aaya lekin jaise hi unhone Raj par attack hote dekha waise hi unhone bhi apne Band of Protection ko activate kar diya. Wahi Annie aur MI 3 ke members bhi alert ho gaye the aur apne opponent ke next attack ke liye ready ho gaye.
Jab Raj par fireballs se attack hua tha tab usne aur bhi fireballs ko unki taraf aate hue dekh liya tha.
Yeh fireball bluish white colour ke the aur unki size bhi kisi fist ke size jitni thi. In sabhi ka target MI 3 ke members the.
Yeh sab kuch 2 seconds ke andar hua tha. Vo sabhi fireballs aa kar MI 3 ke members ke samne blast hog aye the. Blast hone ke baad unki flames 3 feet ki area mei fail rahi thi.
2 seconds ke andar hi Raj aur MI 3 ke members par 20 level 1 fireballs ke attack hue the.
Annie ko chod kar jisne apne speed ka use karte hue un fireballs ko dodge kar diya thaw ahi safe reh paayi thi. Ismei Annie ne apne speed, strength aur battle skills ka kaafi achhe se use kiya tha. Wahi MI 3 ke baki ke members blast ki wajah se vo sabhi piche ki taraf ud gaye the.
Ardivan aur Merry bhi is sab se bach nahi paaye the aur 15 se 20 feet piche ki taraf udte hue jaa kar gir gaye the. Un dono ke muu se behosh hone se pehle blood nikalne lag gaya tha.
Sirf single attack mei hi Anie, Raj aur uske friends ko chod kar MI 3 ke baki ke member heavily injured ho gaye the.
Yeh power thi ek Battle Mage ki ek Supreme Magical Skill ke saath.
Raj ko pata chal gaya tha ke yeh koun hai. Usne zor se chillate hue kaha.
Raj-Yeh Holmes hai. Iske paas na sirf swift spellcasting ability hai baki yeh great distance se bhi spell cast kar sakta hai.
Holmes ne apne fireballs ko almost 200 feet ki distance se cast kiya tha. Jo kisi bhi average Mage ya phir Mage Warrior ki range se twice thi.
Ab Raj ko pata chal gaya tha ke Holmes kitna powerful hai. Usne zyada time waste nahi kiya aur jaldi se Abhay ko Vector Throw ko cast karne ke liye kaha.
Kyo ki unka opponent kaafi distance par tha is liye koi bhi dusri spell se attack karte toh vo us tak pohoch bhi nahi paati. Lekin abhi ke liye jo spell us tak jaa sakti thi vo sirf aur sirf Vector Throw thi.
Abhay ke spell cast karte hi uske aaspas jitney bhi small stones aur bricks the vo sabhi kaafi speed se udte hue kuch distance par jo shadow thi uski taraf chale gaye.
Raj ne jab us black shadow ko dekha tha tabhi samajh gaya tha ke yeh koi aur nahi balki Holmes hi hai jo unki taraf earth hound par baith kar aa raha hai. Vo akela hi baki sabhi dark elves kee aage tha.
Raj pehle se hi sharp minded person tha aur situation ke gravity ko kaafi achhe se samajh sakta tha par ab jab usse apne past life ki memories bhi mil gayi thi usse vo aur bhi sharp minded ho gaya tha. Ab vo body se ek teen age ladka tha par mind se vo ek adult ki tarah hi soch raha tha.
Ab Raj kisi bhi situation ko pehle se bhi kaafi achhe tarike se samajh raha tha aur usse handle bhi kar sakta tha. Iska best example MI 3 ke members aur Annie ko Outpost se bahar nikaalne wala tha. Saath hi ab jab vo bhi Mana ko use kar sakta tha toh vo kya kuch nahi kar sakta tha yeh koi soch bhi nahi sakta tha.
Spell ko use karne se pehle hi Raj ne Abhay ko apna aim Holmes ke sir ki taraf karne ke liye kaha tha. Issi wajah se ek Semi-Physical spell use karne ke baad bhi vo sabhi stones aur bricks kaafi speed se Holmes ke sir ki taraf badh rahe the.
Waise toh Battle Mage spellcasting mei strong the lekin unki body utni strong nahi rehti thi. Sirf Mage Warriors ki body hi unke strong physical training ki wajah se strong ho gayi thi. Wahi Mage aur Battle Mage war mei Mage Warriors ko support karne ke liye powerful spells ko cast karte the.
Agar Holmes ko uski taraf aane wale stones aur bricks hit karte hai toh uske wahi par marne ke chances kaafi zyada the. Usne jaldi se apne earth hound ko side mei dodge karne ke liye force kiya. Wahi yeh dekh kar Raj ne sabhi ko fail kar chup jaane ke liye kaha aur Annie jo apne saathiyo ko aise injured dekh kar shock mei chali gayi thi usse khinchte hue ek corner mei chala gaya.
He Must be Stopped.
Gladstone City, Outside Area.
Holmes ke Earth Hounds ground ko smell karte hue bhaag rahe the aur unke piche Holmes aur bache hue dark elves bhaag rahe the. Gladstone City ke log Magic Academy par pohochne se pehle hi waha se sabhi dark elves aur Holmes nikal gaye the.
Agar kisi ko capture karna ho toh usse jaldi jaldi kar ke capture nahi kiya jaa sakta tha. Kuch 1 hour ke baad un sabhi ko Raj ke route ke baremei pata chala. Dekhte hi dekhte vo sabhi us port ke paas aa gaye the.
River ki wajah se earth hounds frustrate ho gaye the aur vo wahi par reh kar us spot ko smell karne lag gaye jaha par Raj khada tha.
Yeh dekh kar Tarry aage aaya aur usne Holmes ko dekhte hue kaha.
“Master Holmes vo jo bhi hai vo zarur yaha se kisi boat se aage badha hoga. Ab ham kya kare ?”
Is par Holmes aage aaya aur usne river ko dekhte hue kaha.
“Yeh baat mujhe bhi samajh mei aa gayi hai.”
Yeh keh kar Holmes phir se river ko dekhte hue kuch sochne lag gaya.
Tabhi uske mind mei kuch aaya aur usne apne piche khade ek dark elf ko dekhte hue kaha.
“Jao aur is river ke flow ko follow karo. Vo zyada time tak toh river se travel nahi kar sakta hai. Vo zarur kahi par ruka hoga aur ground se aage badha hoga.”
Is par Terry ne kaha.
“Lekin Master Holmes kya ho vo agar vo opposite direction mei gaya ho toh ?”
Terry ke is question se Holmes samajh gaya tha ke uske saath jo dark elves hai vo puri tarah se idiots hai. Usne apne sir ko hilate hue phir se river ko dekha aur kaha.
“Yeh ek probability hai ke usse opposite direction mei boat chalani nahi aati hai. Iske chances hundreds mei se ek ke hai. Lekin ab takt oh hame yeh samajh mei aa gaya hai ke vo sabhi divide ho kar travel kar rahe hai aur kya pata ham jiske piche jaa rahe ho vo single hi travel kar raha ho. Toh ab tum kaha dekhna chahte ho opposite direction mei ya aage badhne wali direction mei ?”
Yeh sunkar Terry ne kaha.
“Aage badhne wali direction mei.”
Terry Holmes ki baato ko sunkar puri tarah se convince ho gaya tha. River ke flow ke oppostide direction mei boat chalana ek skilful kaam tha aur saath mei kaafi hard bhi. Even vo khud is sab mei achha nahi tha. Aise mei kuch teenagers aisa kaise kar sakte the.
Issi ke saath sabhi dark elves river ke side se aage badhne lag gaye. Un sabhi ne abhi aise robes pehne hue the ke un sabhi ke faces uske andar achhe se chip gaye the. Is wajah se vo bina kisi dar ke chalte hue jaane lag gaye.
Kuch 20 minutes ke baad earth hounds ko kuch feel hua aur vo zor se howl karne lag gaye. Unhone ground ko phir se smell kiya aur jaldi jaldi aage badhne lag gaye.
Yeh dekh kar Holmes ne khush hote hue kaha.
“Lagta hai hame phir se us person ka scent mila hai.”
Kisi ko bhi track karna kisi bhi gamble se kam nahi tha. Yeh koi bhi nahi bata sakta tha ke aage ki situation kya ho sakti hai. Lekin abhi ke liye luck shayad Holmes ke saath tha.
Holmes ne yeh notice kar liya tha ke baki ek dark elves warriors bhi ab uski respect karne lag gaye hai. Yeh sab kuch Holmes jaise enjoy kar raha tha.
Khud ko realise kiye bina hi usne apne back ko straight kiya aur apne sir ko halke se upar ki taraf utha liya.
Raj ke scent ko smell karte hue vo sabhi ussi market wale area mei aa gaye the. Waha par abhi bhi koi nahi tha. Kyo ki us area mei zyada koi nahi tha is liye earth hounds ab achhe se Raj ke scent ko follow kar sakte the. Is wajah se earth hounds kaafi fast ho gaye the aur unke saath sabhi dark elves bhi.
Kuch 1 hour ke time ke baad vo sabhi Old Quarters ke gate ke samne khade the.
Yeh dekh kar Holmes ne kaha.
“Mujhe yeh bilkul bhi sahi nahi lag raha hai. Vo sabhi Old City Quarters ki taraf gaye hue hai. Yaha par kisi ek ken ahi balki earth hounds ko baki sabhi humans ke bhi scents feel ho rahe hai. Kahi vo sabhi us Female Human Mage Warrior ko bachane ke liye toh yaha nahi aaye ?”
Holmes ab kuch tension mei aa gaya tha. Usse pata tha ke dark elves assassins ka main targets mei se ek MI 3 ki Female Human Mage Warrior bhi hai. Unke superiors ne unhe kaha tha ke usse kisi bhi price par zinda capture kar ke lana hai.
Tabhi Holmes jaldi se chillate hue kehta hai.
“Jaldi chalo!”
Is sab ke baremei soch kar Holems ko kuch bhi sahi nahi lag raha tha.
Kyo ki Old City Quarters ke andar zyada log nahi the is liye earth hounds bhi kaafi speed se aage badh rahe the. Kuch 10 minutes ke baad vo sabhi ussi fountain wale area mei aa gaye the.
Waha ke nazare ko dekh kar Holmes aur uske saath aaye hue sabh dark elves kaafi surprise ho gaye.
Us area ke aaspas jo buildings thi vo fire lagne ki wajah se destroy ho gayi thi. Unmei se abhi bhi kuch kuch smoke nikal raha tha. Yeh sab kuch yahi show kar raha tha ke yaha par jo bhi hua hai vo kuch der pehle hi hua hai.
10 se zyada dead bodies niche ground par giri hui thi. Unki destroy hui body ko dekh kar yeh koi bhi nahi bata sakta tha ke yeh koun hai par unke clothes achhe se bata rahe the ke yeh koi aur nahi balki dak elves hai.
Holmes ne waha ke ground par paani ko dekha toh vo usse dekhne ke liye aage badh gaya. Usne apne haat ke backside se paani ko touch kiya jo abhi bhi cold tha. Saath hi uske andar abhi bhi kuch ice bachi hui thi.
Yeh sab dekh kar Holmes ne apne aap se kaha.
“Magic Power….Yeh Lesser Hailstorm spell hai. Vo sabhi yahi the.”
Holmes ke face par ab kuch kuch gussa bhi dikhne lag gaya tha. Yeh gussa is liye nahi tha ke yaha par koi aur Battle Mage yap hir Mage Warrior tha. Balki is liye tha ke yeh jo koi bhi tha vo high level spells ko use kar sakta tha.
Lesser Hailstorm ek level 2 ki spell thi. Is sab se Holmes ko yahi samajh mei aa raha tha ke un sabhi bachho ko saath koi Battle Mage ya phir ek Mage Warrior hai.
Holmes ko yeh bhi lag raha tha ke agar jo vo soch raha hai vo sahi hai toh vo Battle Mage yaa phir vo Mage Warrior skill level mei uske hi jitna hoga. Yeh ab Holmes ke liye bhi kuch trickier ho gaya tha.
Lekin Holmes ko apne magic powers par kaafi confidence tha. Agar vo sahi hua toh un sabhi bachho aur MI 3 ke members ke saath jo Battle Mage ya phir Mage Warrior hai vo usse zyada age mei nahi hoga. Kya pata uske paas utna experience hi na ho. Kya pata usne sirf kuch hi spells ko master kar liya ho par uske paas superior magic abilities na ho. Holmes ko yahi lag raha tha ke vo un sabhi ko achhe se defeat kar sakta hai.
Apne life ka kaafi bada time magic research mei bitane ke baad Magic ki taraf Holmes ki ek khud ki understanding ho gayi thi. Yahi uske confidence ka source tha.
Tabhi Holmes ko apne piche kisi ke footsteps sunayi diye. Usne palat kar dekha toh uske piche Terry khada tha lekin uske saath ek aur dark elf assassin bhi khada tha. Us dark elf assassin ko dekhte hi Holmes samajh gaya tha k evo uski team ke saath yaha par nahi aaya hai. Iska yahi meaning nikal raha tha ke yaha par jo kuch bhi hua hai usse is dark elf assassin ne apni aankho se dekha hai.
Holmes ne us dark elf assassin ko dekhte hue usse pucha.
“Yaha pr kya hua tha ?”
Shock aur dar abhi bhi us dark elf assassin ke face par tha. Usne waise hi darte hue kaha.
“Vo koi Battle Mage tha. Vo bhi kaafi dangerous magic ke saath. Usne hamare leader ko bhi maar diya aur dekhte hi dekhte Hailstorm ko bhi summon kiya. Saath hi vo Annie ko bhi lekar bhaag gaya. Dark Mother ki kasam vo kaafi horrible tha.”
Yeh sunkar Holmes ne aage pucha.
“Ab vo kis direction ki taraf gaye hai ?”
“Mujhe nahi pata hai. Hamne unhe ek gali ke andar hotel ke samne kho diya. Ham us hotel ke andar bhi gaye par vo sabhi waha par bhi nahi the. Hamne us secret passage ko bhi dhundhne ki koshish ki par vo bhi hame nahi mil paya.”
Vo dark elf assassin abhi bhi kuch dara hua hi tha. Uske face se vo expressions jaa hi nahi rahe the. Usse pata tha ke unke is mission ke fail hone ki wajah se unhe heavily punish kiya jaane wala hai.
Yeh sab sunkar Holmes apni jagah par khada ho gaya aur chalte hue apne earth hounds ke paas aaya jo 6 feet tall the.
Hotel ke gate ke liye eath hounds kaafi bade the. Vo uske andar nahi jaa sakte the. Is sab se frustrate ho kar Holmes ne apne aap se kaha.
“Damm Hotel!”
Lekin Holmes ke paas 2nd plan bhi tha. Us secret passage ko dhund nikalna difficult ho sakta tha. Agar vo aisa karte hai toh unka kaafi time waste ho sakta tha. Waise bhi koi bhi secret passage zyada long nahi ho sakta tha. Zyada se zyada vo 600 feet se lekar 1000 feet tak hi ho sakta tha. Usse zyada long secret passage bana kar koi bhi benefit nahi tha.
Yeh sab soch kar Holmes uske paas khade ek assassin ko puchta hai.
“Abhi tum sabhi kitney ho ?”
Us par us assassin ne answer kiya.
“Ham sabhi mila kar kuch 76 assassins bache hue hai.”
“Aur vo abhi kaha par hai ?”
“Ham sabhi split ho gaye the us human team ko dhundhne ke liye.”
Yeh sunkar Holmes ne us dark elf assassin se kaha.
“Very Good!”
Yeh keh kar Holmes waha se nikalne laga. Uske mind mei kuch aa raha tha. Vo yahi soch raha tha k evo un sabhi humans ke piche kyo jaa raha hai ? Ab jab vo yaha se bhaag gaye hai toh un sabhi ke yaha se nikal kar kaha jaane ke chances sab se zyada ho sakte hai ? Kyo na mein un sabhi kea age jaa kar unki jaane wali jagah par hi unka wait karu ?
Par yeh sab sochne ke baad bhi usse yeh question tha ke vo sabhi jaa kaha sakte hai.
Tabhi usse kuch yaad aaya aur shayad usse uske question ka answer bhi wahi tha.
Usse samajh mei aa gaya tha ke yeh sabhi humans yaha se nikal kar ek hi jagah jaa sakte hai aur vo jagah hai City Guard Walls. Agar vo waha par jaa kar waha ke situation ko handle kar paate hai toh vo unke samne jo situation hai usse yeh sabhi humans turn kar sakte the. Yeh unke liye kaafi easy ho sakta tha. Nahi vo aisa nahi hone de sakta tha. Vo kisi bhi halat mei in humans ko waha par pohochne nahi de sakta tha.
Yeh sab soch kar Holmes ki heatbeat kaafi fast ho gayi thi. Holmes ke liye ab yeh important nahi bacha tha ke vo Annie ya phir us Battle Mage ko capture kar sakta hai ya nahi. Balki abhi uske liye yahi important tha ke chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye par city gyards useless hi rehne chahiye.
Agar vo Battle Mage aur MI 3 ke members City Guard Walls mei enter karne mei successful ho gaye toh uske baad vo sabhi unstoppable ho jaynge. Wahi Holmes aur uske sabhi saathi jinhone Gladstone City ko infiltrate kiya tha vo certainly maare jaa sakte the.
Holmes ne jaldi se sabhi ko zor se chillate hue kaha.
“Sabhi apne weapons ko lekar mere saath chalo. Ham sabhi Horas Castle jaa rahe hai.”
Horas Castle City Lord Hesman Horas ka family castle tha. Vo castle ek valley mei tha jo Old City Quarters ke sab se northern most region mei tha
City Lord Hesman ko dark elf assassins ne pehle hi maar diya tha.
Usse kuch 3 hours pehle hi ek female assassin ki help se poison de kar maar diya gaya tha. Is female assassin ko dark elves ne kaafi painstakingly 10 years train kiya hua tha. Sahi kaha jaaye toh Horas Castle ke andar ke sabhi Mage Warriors ko bhi maar diya gaya tha.
Horas Castle se City Guard Walls sab se paas mei thi. City Guards ke commander ko pichle din hi waise hi poison de kar maar diya gaya tha aur saath mei baki bache bade officers ko bhi maar diya gaya tha. Aise mei city guards leaderless the. Even kuch ne try kiya ke vo bache hue city guards ko lead kar sake par unki position itni high nahi thi.
Upar se unke haie guards ek dark elves army ke liye kisi bhi tarah se threat nahi the.
Par Holmes ko yahi lag raha tha ke Annie aur vo Battle Mage City Guard Walls par pohoch jaate hai toh vo dono hi prominent position ko hold karte hue waha ki situation ko handle kar sakte the.
Har tarah ke Mage aur Mage Warriors ka social status kaafi high hota tha. Holmes khudh bhi koi official commander nahi tha lekin commander aur 1st officer ke maare jaane ke baad wahi tha jo ek Di Facto leader ban gaya tha. Un sabhi dark elf assassins ko kisi strong leader ki zarurat thi jiske piche vo chal sakte. Ab Holmes ke saath aaye hu dark elves aur yaha ke dark elves milaa kar kuch 150 dark elves warriors ho gaye the.
Yeh sabhi warriors level 2 ke Mage Warriors the.
Un sabhi ko dekhte hue Holmes ne zor se kaha.
“Ham sabhi ko jaldi karna hoga. Kya pata hamare paas abhi bhi kuch time bacha ho.”
Yeh keh kar Holmes ne apne fingers ko snap kiya aur uske aisa karte hi vo earth hounds niche jhuk gaye aur unmei se ek par Holmes baith gaya. Jaise hi usne un earth hounds ko aage badhne ka ishara kiya waise hi vo kaafi speed se aage badh gaye.
Sabhi dark elf warriors bhi uske piche kaafi speed se aane lag gaye the.
Earth Hounds kaafi fast the. Jaldi hi Holmes ne sabh dark elves ko piche chod diya tha aur akele hi aage badh gaya tha. Yeh kaafi risky tha lekin abhi vo is sab ke baremei bilkul bhi nahi soch raha tha. Holmes ko khud ki powers par kaafi confidence tha ke vo us Human Battle Mage ko rok sakta hai. Even MI 3 ke members ke saath hone ke baad bhi vo usse rok sakta hai.
Wahi dark elves Annie aur us unknown Battle Mage ko rokne ke liye aage badh toh gaye lekin vo yeh notice nahi kar paaye ke un sabhi ko koi fountain square ke ek corner se chup kar dekh raha hai.
Yeh koi aur nahi balki Merry thi. Elemental Healing aur half and hour ki rest ke baad Merry ne apne half se bhi zyada ki strength ko recover kar liya tha.
Yeh sab dekh kar usne apne aap se kaha.
“Nahi, yeh bilkul bhi achha nahi hai. Commander ke saath Prince Aditya aur Master Raj aur unke sabhi friends bhi danger mei aa gaye hai. Mujhe un sabhi ko alert karna hoga.”
Issi ke saath Merry chup kar us hotel mei chali jaati hai aur waha se secret passage ko open kar ke kaafi se speed se aage badhti hai. Kuch hi der mei vo us couple ke ghar ke andar thi.
Jab couple ne Merry ko waha par dekha toh vo kuch surprise hi ho gaye the.
Merry ne unhe dekhte hue unse pucha.
“Kya commander yaha aayi thi ?”
Is par us ladke ne apne sir ko haa mei hilaya aur kaha.
“Haan! Vo aur baki sabhi yahi the. Kuch 3 minutes pehle hi vo yaha se gaye hai.”
Is par Merry ne pucha.
“Abhi vo kis direction mei gaye hai ?”
Merry ke question par us ladke ne kaha.
“Mein sure toh nahi hu lekin vo sabhi north ki taraf gaye hai.”
Ek MI 3 ka member hone ki wajah se usse yeh achhe se pata tha ke usse jina pucha jaate utna hi answer karna hai.
Yeh sunkar Merry ne kaha.
“Thik hai mein samajh gayi. Ab tum ek kaam karo, is passage ko abhi ke abhi seal kar do. Agar waha se koi bhi aata hai toh vo definitely enemy hai.”
Yeh sunkar us couple ne jaldi se yeh kaam karna start kar diya.
Merry us ghar se nikalne ke baad kuch half and hour ke andar hi sabhi tak pohoch gayi thi aur usne sabhi ko dark elves ke baremei bata diya tha.
Agar time ki baat kare toh dark elf army ne yahi time choose kiya tha Gladstone City par ek full fledge attack karne ke liye. Par Raj aur uske friends ki wajah se vo abhi tak aisa kar nahi paaye the.
Par Raj janta tha ke sirf portal tower ko destroy karne se vo dark elf army ko kuch der tak hi rok sakte hai. Ab unke paas zyada time nahi bacha tha.
Ab Merry bhi unke saath City Guard Walls ki taraf badhne lag gayi. Usne sabhi ko sab kuch detail mei bataya tha ke usne fountain square ke paas kya kya dekha tha.
Jab sabhi ne 150 dark elves warriors ke baremei suna toh sabhi speechless ho gaye the.
Ek 150 dark elves warriors ki force sach mei dangerous thi. Lekin un sabhi se zyada dangerous tha un sabhi ke saath aane wala dark elf Battle Mage.
Ek ordinary person ke liye Mage uya phi Mage Warrior kaafi bada naam tha, Unki thinking se Mage ya phir Mage Warriors ke paas vo hai jo kisi bhi normal person ke paas nahi hai aur vo hai Wisdom. Sabhi Magicians aur Mage Warriors mysterious aur powerful hote the. Unhe dekh kar koi normal person bhi dar sakta tha. Koi bhi normal warrior yeh bilkul bhi nahi soch sakta tha ke kisi Magician ya phir kisi Mage Warrior ke paas kis taraf ke attacks ho sakte hai.
Kaafi baar aisa hua tha ke kisi warrior ko kabhi samajh mei hi nahi aaya ke vo kis tarah se maara gaya,
Magicians aur Mage Warriors ko yahi baat unhe kaafi fearful banati hai.
Sabhi ke constant speed ke saath aage badh rahe the. Koi bhi ek dusre se baat nahi kar raha tha.
Aage badhte hue Annie Raj aur Aditya ke paas aayi aur usne kaha.
Annie-Prince Aditya, Master Raj ab ham kya kare ?
Ek Battle Mage ya phir Mage Warrior ko face karne ke liye bhi ek Battle Mage ya phir Mage Warrior ki hi zarurt thi. Annie ko ab tak itna toh samajh mei aa gaya tha ke Raj ka mind sab se sharp hai. Raj achhe se is situation ko samajhne ki capability rakhta hai. Agar vo aur uske friends nahi aate toh MI 3 ke baki members ke saath ya toh vo maari jaati ya phir usse capture kiya jata.
Kyo ki MI 3 ek military intelligence agency thi is liye unke paas dark elf magicians aur Mage Warriors jo powerful the unkke record the. Un records mei Holmes ka bhi naam tha. Upar se Holmes ek level 1 ka elite Battle Mage tha. Aise mei uske baremei MI 3 ke members ko kaise pata nahi hoga. Merry ne aane ke baad Raj aur bakiyo ko bhi Holmes ke baremei bata diya tha.
Is ke wajah se Raj ko uske opponent ke barmei ek general idea aa gaya tha.
Dark elf Battle Mage ek level 2 ka elite mage tha. Uski speciality elemental aur summoning spells mei sab se zyada thi. Saath hi vo dark elves ke Silver Moon Mage Council ka ek member bhi tha.,
Agar usse Magic Academy ke teachers ke saath compare kiya jaaye toh Holmes un sabhi se strong tha. Uske paas ek Supreme Magic Skill bhi tha jiska naam tha Swift Spellcasting.
Supreme Spell Casting ke under Holmes level 1 elemental spell fireball ko bhi incredible speed ke saath cast kar sakta tha.
Level 1 spell fireball level 0 fireball spell ka upgraded version thi. Ek level 1 fireball spell ek level 0 fireball spell se power mei zyada thi. Agar level 0 fireball spell ek firecracker hai toh level 1 fireball spell ek grenade hai.
Aise sunne mei aaya tha ke koi 3 Mage Warriors ne milkar Holmes par attack kiya tha lekin Holmes ne apne supreme magic skill se un tino Mage Warriors ko wahi maar diya tha.
Issi wajah se Holmes ko ek aur naam diya gaya tha. Fire Canon ka.
Merry sab kuch Raj aur Aditya ko batate jaa rahi thi. I sab ko sunkar Raj jaldi hi plan banane mei lag gaya. Uske saath MI 3 ke Mage Warriors aur Annie jaisi powerful Mage Warrior bhi thi. Upar se Raj aur uske friends ke paas bhi ek level 2 ka defensive magic bracelet tha. Saath hi uske friends bhi ab tak kaafi Mana recover kar chuke the.
Lekin Raj koi bhi risk nahi lena chahta tha. Is liye usne apne saath laayi hui Mana Potions ki bottles ko apne friends ko de di.
Kyo ki Raj aur Aditya ko MI 3 ke Outpost par hue attack ke baremei pata nahi tha is liye unke paas Mana Potions ki bottles kam thi.
Saath hi MI 3 ke Mage Warriors ne bhi usse nahi liya. Vo sabhi experience persons the aur apne Mana ko jaldi se recover kaise kiya jata hai yeh jante the.
Raj ne ek nazar daal kar sabhi ko dekha toh paya ke sabhi almost apne peak condition par hai. Is sab se vo kuch free feel karne lag gaya tha.
Ab Raj apne mind mei plan banane lag gaya tha.
Raj ne apne aap se kaha.
Raj-Hamara opponent kaafi powerful hai. Lekin hame uske strength ke baremei utna hi pata hai jitna hame Merry ne bataya ha. Lekin agar ham quality ki baat kare toh hamare jitney ke chances zyada hai. Shayad ham sabhi milkar us dark elf mage ko handle kar sakte hai.”
Holmes ek level 2 Battle Mage tha jo kisi bh person ke liye kaafi powerful tha. Aise mei Raj jo abhi apne teen age mei tha vo uske jaise opponent ko handle karne ke baremei soch raha tha.
Ek taraf Holmes tha jisne apne magical skils par confidence tha toh ek taraf Raj jise apne plan par confidence tha.
Kuch der baad Raj ne Annie ko dekha aur usse thumbs up ka ishara kiya.
Annie ne Raj ke ishara ko samajh kar ek gehri saans chodi. Ek powerful Mage Warrior hone ke baad bhi vo kaafo tension mei thi.
Annie ke saath saath MI 3 ke baki members ne bhi ek gehri saans chodi.
Kuch 5 minutes ke baad unhe City Guard ka flag dikhne laga tha. Saath hi kuch distance par unhe castle bhi dikhne lag gaya tha.
Yeh dekh kar Annie ne sabhi ko dekhte hue kaha.
Annie-Jaldi! Jaldi! Jaldi1 Ham sabhi ab kuch hi distance par hai.
Annie ki baato ne MI 3 ke members ke saath Raj aur uske friends ko bhi excited kar diya tha.
Abhi Annie ne apni baar puri hi ki thi ke usne aage kaha.
Annie-Suno, hamahre piche se footsteps ki aawaz aa rahi hai. Koi kaafi speed ke saath hamari taraf badh raha hai.
Raj yeh sunkar piche sir kar ke dekhne hi wala tha ke tabhi usse kuch feel hua. Mana ki ek great wave jo unki hi taraf aa rahi thi.
Raj ne uski taraf aa rahe danger ko sense kar liya tha aur kisi beast ki tarah vo palat gaya aur uski taraf aane wale attack ko jhelne ke liye ready ho gaya.
Kyo ki situation kaafi dangerous thi is liye Raj ne apne aaspas zyada focus nahi kuya aur apne Mana ko release karte hue usne apne haat mei pehne hue Band of Protection ko activate kar diya.
Raj ke aisa karte hi uske band mei s light flash hone lag gayi. Ek crystal clear glow ke saath vo light Raj ke haato se hote hue aage badh gayi aur usne Raj ke pure body ko cover kar liya tha. Us light mei magical runes bhi Raj ke body ke aaspas ghum rahe the. Is wajah se Raj ne jo ordinary robe pehna hua tha vo ab kaafi grand aur elaborate lagne lag gaya tha.
Guardian Barrier!
Yeh ek level 2 ki spell thi. Iska defence kisi bhi magical attack ke against strong tha lekin physical attacks ke mamle mei yeh weak thi.
Jaise hi Raj ke body ko cover karne wali light ka glow kam hua waise hi usse apne samne fire ke flashes dikh gaye the. Raj ne jaldise apne roght side mei khade Aditya ko aur apne left side mei khadi Annie ko Apne dono haato se side mei push kar diya aur apne haato ko apne face ke samne kar diya taki vo un fireballs ke impact se khud ko bacha sake.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Dekhte hi dekhte Raj par 3 fireballs aakar blast hue. Wahi aur Annie, MI 3 ke members aur Raj ke friends ko toh pehle kuch bhi samajh mei nahi aaya lekin jaise hi unhone Raj par attack hote dekha waise hi unhone bhi apne Band of Protection ko activate kar diya. Wahi Annie aur MI 3 ke members bhi alert ho gaye the aur apne opponent ke next attack ke liye ready ho gaye.
Jab Raj par fireballs se attack hua tha tab usne aur bhi fireballs ko unki taraf aate hue dekh liya tha.
Yeh fireball bluish white colour ke the aur unki size bhi kisi fist ke size jitni thi. In sabhi ka target MI 3 ke members the.
Yeh sab kuch 2 seconds ke andar hua tha. Vo sabhi fireballs aa kar MI 3 ke members ke samne blast hog aye the. Blast hone ke baad unki flames 3 feet ki area mei fail rahi thi.
2 seconds ke andar hi Raj aur MI 3 ke members par 20 level 1 fireballs ke attack hue the.
Annie ko chod kar jisne apne speed ka use karte hue un fireballs ko dodge kar diya thaw ahi safe reh paayi thi. Ismei Annie ne apne speed, strength aur battle skills ka kaafi achhe se use kiya tha. Wahi MI 3 ke baki ke members blast ki wajah se vo sabhi piche ki taraf ud gaye the.
Ardivan aur Merry bhi is sab se bach nahi paaye the aur 15 se 20 feet piche ki taraf udte hue jaa kar gir gaye the. Un dono ke muu se behosh hone se pehle blood nikalne lag gaya tha.
Sirf single attack mei hi Anie, Raj aur uske friends ko chod kar MI 3 ke baki ke member heavily injured ho gaye the.
Yeh power thi ek Battle Mage ki ek Supreme Magical Skill ke saath.
Raj ko pata chal gaya tha ke yeh koun hai. Usne zor se chillate hue kaha.
Raj-Yeh Holmes hai. Iske paas na sirf swift spellcasting ability hai baki yeh great distance se bhi spell cast kar sakta hai.
Holmes ne apne fireballs ko almost 200 feet ki distance se cast kiya tha. Jo kisi bhi average Mage ya phir Mage Warrior ki range se twice thi.
Ab Raj ko pata chal gaya tha ke Holmes kitna powerful hai. Usne zyada time waste nahi kiya aur jaldi se Abhay ko Vector Throw ko cast karne ke liye kaha.
Kyo ki unka opponent kaafi distance par tha is liye koi bhi dusri spell se attack karte toh vo us tak pohoch bhi nahi paati. Lekin abhi ke liye jo spell us tak jaa sakti thi vo sirf aur sirf Vector Throw thi.
Abhay ke spell cast karte hi uske aaspas jitney bhi small stones aur bricks the vo sabhi kaafi speed se udte hue kuch distance par jo shadow thi uski taraf chale gaye.
Raj ne jab us black shadow ko dekha tha tabhi samajh gaya tha ke yeh koi aur nahi balki Holmes hi hai jo unki taraf earth hound par baith kar aa raha hai. Vo akela hi baki sabhi dark elves kee aage tha.
Raj pehle se hi sharp minded person tha aur situation ke gravity ko kaafi achhe se samajh sakta tha par ab jab usse apne past life ki memories bhi mil gayi thi usse vo aur bhi sharp minded ho gaya tha. Ab vo body se ek teen age ladka tha par mind se vo ek adult ki tarah hi soch raha tha.
Ab Raj kisi bhi situation ko pehle se bhi kaafi achhe tarike se samajh raha tha aur usse handle bhi kar sakta tha. Iska best example MI 3 ke members aur Annie ko Outpost se bahar nikaalne wala tha. Saath hi ab jab vo bhi Mana ko use kar sakta tha toh vo kya kuch nahi kar sakta tha yeh koi soch bhi nahi sakta tha.
Spell ko use karne se pehle hi Raj ne Abhay ko apna aim Holmes ke sir ki taraf karne ke liye kaha tha. Issi wajah se ek Semi-Physical spell use karne ke baad bhi vo sabhi stones aur bricks kaafi speed se Holmes ke sir ki taraf badh rahe the.
Waise toh Battle Mage spellcasting mei strong the lekin unki body utni strong nahi rehti thi. Sirf Mage Warriors ki body hi unke strong physical training ki wajah se strong ho gayi thi. Wahi Mage aur Battle Mage war mei Mage Warriors ko support karne ke liye powerful spells ko cast karte the.
Agar Holmes ko uski taraf aane wale stones aur bricks hit karte hai toh uske wahi par marne ke chances kaafi zyada the. Usne jaldi se apne earth hound ko side mei dodge karne ke liye force kiya. Wahi yeh dekh kar Raj ne sabhi ko fail kar chup jaane ke liye kaha aur Annie jo apne saathiyo ko aise injured dekh kar shock mei chali gayi thi usse khinchte hue ek corner mei chala gaya.
