Capítulo 481: Father, you are hurt!
The battle—
It was moving in the direction Kael wanted it to—something that none of the captains liked.
“Where is he trying to go…?”
One of the captains asked as he narrowed his eyes.
The rest frowned as well. The group began tracking down his general movements. Of course, he didn’t move in a straight line—the rate at which he changed directions was simply too absurd for there to be a direct path—but…
Surely…
The battlefield was moving.
It was moving downwards.
The captains looked down, completing Kael’s path in their heads, and there, they saw her.
The Sky Serpent General, Aurelia Stormborn, lying unconscious.
“He’s trying to get to the General!!”
One of the captains shouted, alerting the others.
“MOVE!! MOVE!!
Protect the General!!”
The orders were given as the soldiers moved, descending from above.
But suddenly—
Shhhhrrrkkkkk
On the ground, near Aurelia’s unconscious body, another portal opened, and from that portal, a beautiful fox with shimmering white fur that seemed unbothered by the chaotic battlefield outside stepped out. Her glowing tail moved elegantly, and her purple eyes scanned everything around her without reflecting any emotion.
Without a word, she placed herself between Aurelia’s body and the approaching soldiers, and the soldiers blinked.
“Whose beast is that!?”
One asked.
“That portal looks like…”
“It’s the Hero’s!”
“But the Hero is far away! How can his portal open here!?”
“How would I know!?”
Confusion.
Confusion spread in the ranks. The soldiers continued to descend in formation, but they were clearly distracted.
But then—
“It doesn’t matter! Take the beast down first! Our goal is to recover the General’s body!”
The captain shouted from behind, giving his orders.
“YES!”
The soldiers nodded, increasing their speed.
When the first group finally got close—
Pierce
One of the soldiers pierced another’s heart from behind, killing him in an instant.
“W-What…?”
The rest of the soldiers widened their eyes in shock.
“What are you doing!?”
“Have you lost your mind!?”
A few soldiers shouted as the confusion spread even further, but the soldier in question didn’t stop. He jumped over, attacking others.
CLANG
The soldier who was attacked blocked his sword, but—
Pierce
Another soldier pierced him from behind.
Chaos ensued. The confused soldiers began battling each other.
“What are you doing!?”
“You dare ask me that!? I WILL KILL YOU!!”
“I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!!!”
Together with confusion came anger. A few soldiers felt rage and hatred like never before as they pounced on their own comrades.
“KRRRIIIEEKKK!!!”
Their beasts didn’t stop either. Reflecting their masters’ emotions, they too attacked the enemy beasts, biting and chewing each other in half.
CLANG
SHHHHK
Steel met steel, countless spells were fired at each other as the beasts screeched. In an instant, the unit that was sent to attack the fox was… completely out of the picture, with more than half already fallen on the ground, no longer capable of continuing the battle.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?”
The captain who saw everything happen from behind screamed in anger, unable to understand just what was happening.
His eyes then fell on the fox, whose purple eyes were now glowing. The fox’s eyes met his, and that gaze alone made him flinch.
He…
He prepared himself, thinking an enemy might attack him any moment now but…
The fox looked away, staring in the direction where her father was facing multiple enemies.
Kael’s situation wasn’t good. Yes, he was fast. He spammed his skills without wasting even a single second—[Draconic Strike], [Roar of Dominion], [Ember Cloak], [Draconic Surge], [Ancient Pulse], [Relic Storm], [Resonant Guard], [Genesis Step]—he was using them all and he was using them well, taking down numerous enemies every time he used them.
To the enemies, he was like a death god who was harvesting lives at a ridiculous rate but…
In the end—
Kael was still… a human.
He was strong, yes, but he was outnumbered—ridiculously, unfairly outnumbered. He was facing hundreds of enemies at the same time, and even if he was fast and his movements were unpredictable, the enemy mages, who were observing everything from a distance—
Had begun to find a pattern even in his unpredictability.
Their spells had begun to connect. They were now actively attacking Kael, and their spells were working.
Even with his regeneration, facing a barrage of spells aimed just at him wasn’t easy—it was slowing him down and hurting him faster than he could recover.
Using this chance, the enemy warriors too had begun catching up to him and were attacking relentlessly. Some mages even used chains to slow him down and catch him alive.
Kael was struggling, even with Cirri around him.
And when Vitaria saw it—
Her purple eyes shined even more intensely, and in an instant—
FWWHOOOSHH
SSHHKKKKK
“AAAAGGGHHHHHH!!!”
“W-What are you doing!?”
“WHY ARE YOU TARGETING US!?”
Chaos spread at Kael’s side as the mages began targeting their allies. Kael didn’t waste that chance. He slashed downward, his sword glowing brightly as he tore through beasts and riders alike.
“Above you!”
Cirri shouted.
Kael reacted instantly, jumping onto another wind step as a volley of lightning spears passed beneath his feet, striking where he had been moments ago.
Vitaria’s eyes flashed as well. A ripple of illusionary power spread across the battlefield, making enemy soldiers see dozens of Kaels charging at them at once. Confusion erupted as they swung blindly, wasting their attacks.
The moment Vitaria joined his side—Kael’s burden lessened. He too got the chance to land right beside his fox; Aurelia’s body was now within their reach.
But—
This wasn’t over.
“Father, twenty more soldiers and their beasts have joined the battle.”
Cirri informed in a solemn tone.
“What…?”
Kael’s expression changed.
“The reinforcements… are already here…?”
He muttered, his heart beating quickly.
But how…?
He couldn’t understand.
An army would need at least four hours to get to this place, even if they pushed themselves past their limits and moved at their highest speed without rest, they would still need at least one and a half hours.
Then…
How come they were already here…?
Barely a few minutes had passed since the battle began!
Did they…
Suddenly, Kael’s expression changed as he stared at the unconscious Aurelia—
‘Did she call for reinforcements before agreeing to a duel…?
Was this duel… a trap to begin with?’
His expression hardened.
‘But why…?’
He couldn’t understand.
If the General wanted to use force, she had no reason to propose a duel from the beginning. Even if she knew how strong he actually was, if she, together with her beasts and the rest of her army, fought him…
He wouldn’t have an easy time, especially against her Thunder Eagle.’ Kael thought inwardly as he stared at Aurelia’s Thunder Eagle, and his eyes turned golden.
[Name: Vaya]
[Race: Thunder Eagle]
[Rank: Epic]
[Age: 56]
[Level: 82]

[Weaknesses: —]
…
Yes, Vaya, Aurelia’s bond, had base stats that were stronger than his and Igni’s. If it had participated together with Aurelia’s other bonds, this battle would have been far more complicated than it was right now.
But…
Even now,
Vaya stayed far, hovering in the distance, as if this war had nothing to do with it.
Kael believed it was because Vaya didn’t agree to it—it didn’t like how its master’s subordinates went against her words—but…
If the reinforcements were called before the duel…
“No, they are not reinforcements. They came from the Eastmourn. They must be the soldiers that human had tasked to keep a watch for you in case they failed to find you.”
Before Kael could think too much, Cirri clarified.
Kael’s expression changed as well. He once again stared at Vaya. The look on the beast’s face was clear—’you hurt my master, and I will come for you.’ Kael nodded, assuring it that he wouldn’t do anything foolish.
In the end, he tightly held his sword again. The battle continued. Even with twenty more soldiers now coming at him, Kael remained standing.
With Cirri’s and Vitaria’s support, he had pulled most of the enemy’s attention. The mages continued to target him from a distance, while the warriors launched themselves toward him.
And Kael—
He fought.
He fought and resisted as his body continued to heal. He was healing from every arrow, cut, and burn, but the pain was constant. His breathing grew harsh, his vision blurred from exhaustion. His sword arm trembled, slick with blood that wasn’t all his.
Every single one of his muscles screamed.
But…
But he didn’t stop.
He cut down another rider.
Then another.
And then another.
He ducked under a spear, thrust upward, sliced through a beast’s throat, kicked off its body, and landed back on Cirri’s wind platform.
For a moment, the battlefield was nothing but motion—Kael moving like a shadow between all fire, blood, and falling bodies.
But for every one he killed, three more came. The desperate soldiers, their furious beasts, began attacking in coordinated waves.
Mages rained spells from above—fireballs, lightning, wind spears—
While more riders charged from all sides, blocking his escape. Cirri deflected as many as she could, creating gusts of wind to scatter their attacks, but the strain began to show.
The battlefield was overwhelming the Primordial Sky Dragon as well.
Vitaria was no different either. She too was breathing heavily; her eyes looked tired, the shine in them weaker than before.
“Father, you are hurt!”
Cirri called in worry, but Kael didn’t give in—
“I’ve seen worse.”
He answered, his eyes still flaring with determination.
In the end, he clenched his sword tightly again and—
With blood dripping from his arm and sparks lighting the sky above—
He jumped up.
The battle wasn’t over.
