Chapter 79: Just Explain What’s Happening!
Jason might not be a hero, but he was still his mother’s son and an upright person. His mother had taught him never to ignore those who were being hurt unnecessarily if he could do something about it. Even when Jason was just a human, he would sometimes stand up for some of the students in the school who were being bullied by the superhumans. He never went too far since he knew that they were strong enough to kill him without much effort, but he didn’t stay silent.
And now that he was a superhuman, he wasn’t going to change his personality. If Jason saw something wrong happening right in front of him and he could do something about it, then there was no way he would ignore it.
The dragon rider snarled at Jason’s question before shouting at him!
"You have no right to question a member of the Imperial Army! I am doing the bidding of my Sovereign and you dare to stand in my way!? Who do you think you are!? Turn away and leave this instant or you will face my wrath! This is your last warning!"
The dragon rider was starting to lose his patience and he watched Jason closely to see what he would do. Jason was still standing with his eyes narrowed in calm anger, and the dragon rider felt a massive surge of red-hot fury filling his body once he saw the condescending look in Jasno’s eyes!
Jason spoke up calmly.
"Look, I’m not trying to get in your way. I’m just asking you to explain what’s happening. You either calm yourself and explain what she did, or you leave, but you’re not getting to her unless you go through me."
The dragonborn saw red! The Dragonborn were a very prideful race that held their honor above everything else! As far as they were concerned, without their pride and honor, they were no better than the worms on the ground, and the worst thing that you could do to a Dragonborn was to try and look down on them when they already saw you as someone lower than them! It would be the same as a servant looking down on a king, or even a cleaner looking down on a CEO! It sent them into a wild rage that they couldn’t control, and that was why at that moment, the dragonborn lost all his rationality and immediately shouted to the dragon!
"BURN HIM TO ASHES!"
ROARRR!
The dragon reared its head back and opened its mouth wide as an orange blaze gathered inside its dark throat! The heat around the area shot up drastically as the dragon prepared to unleash the blast on Jason, but Jason just stood there with his hand in his pocket calmly! The dragonborn wondered if Jason had frozen from fear, but he didn’t care at all as he commanded the dragon to shoot its head forward!
[Linear Charge]!!
SLAM!
Suddenly, a massive force dropped from the sky and slammed into both the dragon and the dragon rider! The dragon rider cursed loudly at the sudden collision and he lost hold of the dragon’s leash and began falling to the ground! The Rook Class Moonlight Wolf roared in anger as it bit down on the dragon and dragged it to the ground at the same moment that the dragon unleashed its blast on Jason! The sudden movement caused the blast to go off target and it flew past Jason and towards the forest behind him before erupting in a fiery explosion!
BOOOM!
A large Pawn Rank III Moonlight Wolf appeared behind Jason and used its body to block both him and the unconscious girl from the shockwave of the explosion. Jason put his hand out to the side and eight more Pawns appeared there. All the beasts Jason summoned were Rook Class subordinates with enhanced defenses and Jason immediately ordered them to move forward and attack!
Jason had no idea how strong this dragon was, but from what Jason felt just now, he could guess that it was definitely stronger than him, so it would be somewhere around upper A Rank to S Rank. Jason quickly moved and grabbed the unconscious girl lying beside him and threw her over his shoulder before he started heading for the Adamantine Ant that he had been riding.
"Where do you think you’re going!? Get back here now!"
All of a sudden, a loud shout echoed from behind Jason and Jason turned around to see the dragon rider snarling at him while drawing a sword from his belt!
SCREECHHH!!
Boom!
But before he could move, a large ant slammed into him and threw him to the ground! The ant used its mandibles to bite down hard on the man’s leg, and only the man’s armor prevented it from tearing the leg straight off! The man activated a flame-based skill that lit up his sword in red-hot fire before he swung it towards the ant and left a deep scratch along its body!
SCRREECH!
The pawn screeched in anger, but even with the scratch, it didn’t stop at all! Instead, it was joined by another large wolf that bit down on the man’s arm and the both of them began to shake him roughly as they tried to tear him to pieces! The Dragonrider was only on the same level as a B Rank since he was a mere soldier, so he didn’t stand a chance against the pawns that had been buffed with extraordinary defenses!
Beside the man, the dragon was going absolutely mad as it fought against the Rook Class Moonlight Wolf! The Moonlight Wolf was the only one tussling with the dragon while the other Pawn Rank subordinates were moving around it and trying to provide as much support as possible! The dragon roared loudly as it grabbed one of the Pawns by the neck before using its sharp claw to tear it to pieces! It slammed its tail against another large pawn to throw it to the side before it opened its mouth and unleashed a blast of fire!
ROARRRR!!
The fire slammed into the large Rook Class Wolf and the wolf roared in pain as it was thrown back by the blast! The only thing that saved the wolf from being completely eviscerated by the blast was the fact that it had much higher defenses than a regular wolf which increased its durability! The wolf managed to get its feet under it again and it raced forward in a [Linear Charge]!
BOOM!
The charge slammed against the dragon and threw it back, but the dragon reached out and bit the wolf around the neck before slamming its body into the ground hard!
BOOM!
The dragon was two times larger than the Moonlight Wolf and it had sharp claws and teeth that would easily tear through anything in its path, so even with the extra help, the Moonlight Wolf was easily losing! Jason realized this after watching for a few minutes and he quickly called on his strongest Rook Class subordinate, the Queen Ant, and ordered it forward!
The Queen Ant was a Rank II rook, so its level of strength was beyond that of the Moonlight Wolf. The Queen Ant wasted no time as it gathered all the mana that it needed and immediately used it to boost its strength before it activated [Linear Charge]!
TWOOM!
The sound like a Gatling gun echoed through the region and the dragon only had time to turn towards the incoming force in shock before it was blindsided by the attack! The two behemoths flew into the forest and destroyed nearly a mile of trees as they passed! The dragon grabbed the Ant Queen by the neck and activated its fire once again, but this time it was shocked when the Queen didn’t even bother to move!
ROARRRR!!
BOOM!
