《Young Adversary》154th Adversary: The First Assault!

Advertisement

On the God Continent there exists countless countries ruled by gods of various mythology. So, it wasn’t surprising when the Continent was segmented into various territories to accommodate the different pantheons. The various pantheons and their proxies divided the continent among themselves and built their countries within the territories assigned to them.

Of all the territories, four stood out among the rest: Yggdrasil; which the leading nation was the Asgard Empire, Hindustan; which was mainly composed of the Sanskrit Federation, Hellas; the most divided of the four because of the absence of the olympians, and finally Han; which is ruled by the Hanzu Dynasty.

Hanzu Dynasty, a federation which consisted of various nations but were all under a central government. In this place, there exist a place known as Ao Guang which was the true name of the Azure Dragon of Chinese mythology. As one would expect, this country was made to honor the Azure Dragon. In this place, everyone had azure hair and eyes like those of the dragna clan. The only difference was that they were all Dragonmen instead of humans. Their attire was modern like rest of the world but those wearing oriental clothing could be seen walking about.

In the crowded streets of the capital, a beautiful woman was wearing a floral cheongsam and stood out among the crowd. Her features were like everyone else around her except for her darker skin and more stunning looks. Both sexes were immediately drawn to this woman. So it was natural for her to attract all kinds of suitors.

“Hey, there.”

The first was a group of tough looking men with dragon tattoos over their bodies. The woman showed them a welcoming smile which motivated the men.

“We brothers saw you walking alone and was wondering if we could keep you company.”

“That’s fine. I’m actually looking for some place. Ah, maybe you guys can help me find it. I would greatly appreciate it.”

The woman showed a cute pleading expression which made all the men feel fluffy inside.

“Just tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll bring you there without fail.”

Hearing the men’s sincerity, the woman smiled.

Around 20 minutes later, the woman was standing in front of a small building with the name “Azure Cloud” on it.

“So this is where the Azure Cloud Gang’s base is? It doesn’t stand out much in a country filled with triads.”

The woman smiled and walked up towards the entrance. Not faraway from her there was a dumpster in a dark alley. No one noticed but there was a dark red liquid leaking from the bottom. If someone opened it they would find the corpses of the men who led the woman here.

“What business do you have?”

A thug who was standing guard stopped the woman from entering and scanned her with his eyes.

“Um…”

The woman suddenly started fidgeting as if she was nervous.

“M-My parents borrowed some money from here but they couldn’t pay it back so they sent me here to negotiate in their steads.”

(So she was sold out by her parents….)

The thug sighed and pushed the door open.

“Go talk to the shady looking man sitting at the desk.”

“T-Thank you.”

The woman bowed and then walked into the building.

“Well, we should be able to make a lot of money with her considering how beautiful she is.”

The thug mumbled to himself.

“Hey, there.”

“Hm?”

He suddenly saw a youth wearing a vest suit appear in front of him.

“What the hell do you want?”

The youth didn’t say anything and swung his hand to the side and walked away.

“……..”

The thug stood there for a while and then silent fell to the ground.

*Thud!*

When his body hit the ground, his head rolled into the streets.

“Huh?”

It stopped in front of a woman who instantly paled before screaming.

“Kyaaaaaa?!”

Meanwhile in the building, the woman was currently talking to the man at the desk.

“What’s your family name?”

After seeing such a beautiful woman walk in, the man couldn’t wait to bring her to his boss so that his boss could give her a “test” before sending her off to be trained.

(I must be first in line for her training!)

The man grinned until he realized that the woman had yet to answer him.

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I was just thinking that this place was disgusting.”

The woman looked down on the man with a pair of eyes that sent chill down his spine. The woman stretched her hand towards him and he saw a magic circle appear in her palm.

“Disperse.”

Suddenly, the man was turned into the dust without getting the chance to scream. The woman’s clothes then changed. She was now wearing a leather halter top, low cut jeans, and a pair of gauntlets.

The woman, Momo who was in her adult form, walked past the desk and entered deeper into the building. She looked up at a camera that was following her.

“Yo, Dragon Storm.”

She waved at the camera.

“I figured that there’s sensors in here that can detect the use of magic, so I know that you’re aware of my presence but that doesn’t really matter. Why? Because we were never planning on hiding in the first place.”

She continued to walk down the halls. People would burst out to attack her but they were all turned to dust before Momo. She leisurely walked to the back of the building, where she found a huge door.

“You guys love hiding like a group of cowards.”

A magic circle appeared on her fist.

“Come out and play, Dragon Storm!”

*BAM!*

Her fist hit the door. The moment it did dozens of magic circles appeared on the door before shattering like glass one by one. When the finally one broke, the door turned into light particles.

*Flash!*

Suddenly a bright light engulfed the area and the building she was in started crumbling. She immediately turned into a beam and moved out of the building. When she stood outside.

*Rumble!*

The ground started shaking and the people started panicking.

“What?!”

“What the hell is happening?!”

Momo smiled as she saw the space in front of her become distorted. Buildings that were next to the Azure Cloud hideout were grind into dust along with everyone in it. It was like something was emerging and was making space for itself. After a few seconds, over half the city was leveled. In its place a grand villa appeared. This villa had the image of a dragon hidden in the clouds on its gates and had countless houses and other buildings; even a few fields.

“That’s….”

“Dragon Storm?!”

“How did the Azure Cloud turn into Dragon Storm?!”

The citizens naturally recognized Dragon Storm’s emblem. That was because everyone knew that it was founded within the Han Territory of the God Continent, but no one knew which country it was located. It was a thousand year mystery.

“It was brilliant to hide in a separate space and even hid the entrance using a mediocre gang as cover up.”

Momo slowly stopped smiling.

“But it was stupid to ever cross us.”

“I see. So the Dragna clan has finally found us?”

Momo looked and saw a familiar youth standing on the walls.

“You destroyed the door that served as a link that connects us to this space and forced the two spaces to come together, thus bringing our hideout back here. You just killed thousands of people by making us crush them to death. How heartless.”

Momo glared at the man with bloodshot eyes.

“Tang Xian!”

“We meet again, Instructor Dragna. Is Miko doing well?”

Tang showed a bright smile. Momo clenched her teeth and then showed a smile.

“Ask him yourself.”

“Hm?”

Tang heard the sound of something cutting through the air and looked up. There he saw a large fleet of aircrafts heading his way.

“An aerial attack? They don’t think that’ll work on us right?”

“You’re not the target.”

Momo spoke before vanishing. At that moment, Tang saw the aircrafts ascend higher into the sky before releasing something in the air.

“Missiles?...But they aren’t targeted at us…”

Tang slowly realized what was happening.

“That crazy-”

*BOOM!*

Tang’s voice was drowned out by the noise caused by dozens of explosions.

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

The missiles blew buildings and people to pieces without mercy; it was utter madness. A few missiles went towards Tang and Dragon Storm’s villa but they hit an invisible barrier and was completely blocked.

“This is the Hanzu Dynasty, you know. Attacking here is like declaring war on all of the countries that resides in Han.”

“Miko knows that.”

Tang saw someone emerging from the flames.

“Kirika Dragna, the Sword Maiden.”

Kirika approached dragon storm with a huge smile on her face.

“Miko doesn’t care about who he offends at this point because to him everyone was always the enemy.”

“I can’t believe the Dragna clan allowed him to do this.”

Tang said.

“Quit being a hypocrite. The huge grin on your face shows that you wanted this to happen.”

Tang stood on the wall with a huge grin on his face.

“Miko surely doesn’t disappoint.”

*BOOM!*

Something fell from the sky and hit the barrier surrounding dragon storm, causing it to tremble. Tang looked and saw Alec standing on the barrier itself despite it giving off electric shocks.

“What about it, Alec?”

Kirika spoke to him. Alec nodded.

“It’s not that difficult. I can disable it with alchemy but that would take some time, so…”

Alec stretched his finger out and a drip of blood flowed from his finger and hit the barrier. A wave of scarlet flames then spread across the barrier.

“The Bloodflame?!

Tang was shocked when he saw Alec fall into the Dragon Storm Residence. He had destroyed the barrier.

“That flame really is too much.”

Tang said with a bitter smile. Kirika immediately appeared behind him and then cut him in half with her sword.

“There was no resistance. It was an illusion as I expected.”

She sheathed her sword and then jumped into the villa. Alec quickly joined her.

“What now?”

Alec asked with a smile. Behind them people marched out of the flames and towards the villa gates. This was an army of Renacido members.

*Bam!*

The gates were blown opened and the army marched in with Momo at front.

“We get revenge.”

“Ohhh!”

The army roared.

“Who’s making a ruckus at our front gate?”

Alec and the others saw an old man walked out of the Villa. It was Tang’s teacher and Dragon Storm executive, Xue Bao.

“You did well to find us but you got hasty and entered enemy territory without preparing first. That’s a rookie mistake.”

“Old man, what makes you think we came unprepared?”

Alec asked. Xue Bao stroke his beard while answering.

“Because you’re facing this old man with such a puny army. What else could you be if not unprepared?”

“Oh?”

Kirika pulled her sword while Alec started approaching Xue Bao.

“Let’s test that shall we?”

Alec and Kirika rushed towards Xue Bao who looked completely relax.

*BOOM!*

Suddenly a huge explosion came from within the villa.

“An enemy? Did one slip past me? Impossible.”

He turned around and was shocked to see that Alec, Kirika and the army was nowhere to be seen.

“A diversion? But Lord Fang and the others are inside so there’s no need to hurry.”

He mumbled to himself and started walking before pausing.

“Wait….The Young Master?!”

He turned into a gale of wind and moved through the villa as fast as he could. He ignored the burning buildings and rushed towards the place in mind. He arrived at a field and was shocked. There he saw Tang being surrounded by Momo, Kirika, and Alec.

“You brats!”

Xue Bao became enraged and attacked them. He forced them all back and even slashed Alec across the chest.

“Ugh?!”

Alec groaned as blood gushed out of his wound. Xue Bao moved faster than he could react. When he saw the cut Alec’s eyes turned a burning scarlet color.

“Young Master, are you alright?!”

“Teacher, this is just a distraction.”

Tang answered with a sly smile.

“These people all could’ve killed me already but they let me go because Miko desire to do it himself. That means that they attacking here has another purpose.”

(Mission complete.)

Momo received a message from her communicator.

“Then that’s our cue.”

Xue Bao attacked them again but he only hit air.

“I’m certain now. They’re using teleportation.”

He said while looking around.

“I don’t see any magic circles so they must be using some kind of gadget.”

He relaxed and started approaching Tang again.

“Do you know what their goal was? I can’t wrap my head around it. Everything was chaotic from start til finish.”

Tang opened his mouth to speak but his eyes widened when he saw someone appear behind Xue Bao. The old man sensed the sudden appearance and turned to act.

*BOOM!*

But before he could, a fist hit him straight in the face and forced his body to the ground.

“That’s payback, old man.”

Alec said to Xue Bao before disappearing again.

“Brat!”

Xue Bao immediately spring to his feet and roared. While Alec was unable to seriously wound him the humiliation of getting sucker punched was unbearable.

Meanwhile outside the villa, Alec appeared.

“Crap, I only travelled half way. I must be out of fuel.”

“Oh? So you are using a teleportation device.”

He looked and saw Fang standing at the gates, while leaning on the wall.

“Alec of Bloodflame, huh? I suppose killing you will deal a great blow to the Dragna empire.”

“The Bloody Fang…..”

Alec stood and faced Fang with a smile.

“Unfortunately, I wont be dying today.”

The blood from Alec’s wound started gushing out. Each drop started glowing before igniting. The Bloodflame then form a wall between Alec and Fang.

“I have a way to ignite all the blood in my body, if that happens this place will turn into a sea of flames that will continue to burn for eternity. In theory, this is powerful enough to kill even Nero. I might lose my life in the progress but at least everyone in this country will accompany me to hell.”

“You’re bluffing.”

“Call my bluff then.”

The two stared each other down for a bit before Alec started walking away. Fang didn’t chase him.

“Smart move, Fang. You allowed you and I to live another day. That’s something to be proud of.”

“You people will lose.”

Alec laughed while disappearing.

“We can’t lose when we’ve already won.”

Fang frowned while Alec continued.

“Brace yourself, Dragon Storm. This is only the first assault. The war hasn’t even began yet and look at the result.”

Alec’s laugh echoed in Fang’s ear even after he disappeared.

“………”

Fang looked at the destruction in silence before speaking his mind.

“What the hell just happened?”

It was after he said that he realized something.

“That Miko kid didn’t show up. Why?”

“My lord!”

A member of dragon storm came running out of the villa.

“Did you calm the flames?”

“Yes, but that’s not important! All of our warehouses were destroyed and all the Parasite Demons have gone missing!”

“….I see. He came for his drug and people.”

Fang once again looked at his surroundings.

“He did all this just for that?”

He was starting to grow interested in the boy who would go to such extremes just to take back what is his.

“My lord…”

“What is it now?”

The member gulped before showing Fang his phone.

“The dark web? Why are showing me this?”

“Sir, look closer.”

Fang stared at the phone for a bit and then experienced a severe change in expression. There was a post on a popular underworld news site pertaining Dragon Storm.

“That bastard, he spread our location on the dark web! Now all of our enemies know where we are!”

“It’s worse than that, sir. This was posted a hour before the attack, which means that many people could be rapidly approaching our location as we speak! We won’t be able to fully prepare ourselves!”

Veins started popping up in Fang’s head.

“So he used the same trick Tang used on him…”

A bloodthirsty grin appeared on his face.

“What a cunning brat!”

Fang suddenly heard the sounds of countless vehicles approaching and immediately knew that the first wave of enemies had arrived.

“Tell everyone to prepare for battle.”

“Yes!”

The member ran off leaving Fang alone as he awaited his enemies.

“I’ll use you fuckers and blow off some steam!”
