Demon Dragons Reign II

Chapter 132: Liberation

DiMaria seemed happy to see her master. To see that he is alive and well. But she had to maintain her composure to not let Xian know who it actually is standing across from them. Once Xian let out one final warning he sent a couple of his soldiers to try to apprehend Natsu. As the first two started to get near him they began to sweat, and feel out of breath. There vision became blurry, and they felt dehydrated. One of the soldiers immediately collapsed to the ground. The other tried to see what is wrong with his comrade but he quickly fainted as well. This left Xian surprised that two of he's men have been taken out. He sends in three more and the same thing happened to two of them before one of the other soldiers returned not wanting to continue going on any further.

Xian: What is going on? What happened to everyone?

Solider: My apologies lord Xian..but it's impossible to make it past five feet from here to that guy.

Xian: What do you mean? Does he have some sort of barrier preventing you guys from advancing?

Solider: No my lord..it's...it feels like a desert. It's dry, humid, it felt like my skin was about to peal off from the intense heat. My blood..I felt like it was boiling from the inside.

He finished saying as he began to cough uncontrollably. A few medics came to give him some water to help him. Xian looked ahead and noticed Natsu still standing where he is.

Xian: What shall we do Lady DiMaria?

DiMaria: We can't send anymore of the men out there. If it's true what this one said. Sending anymore soldiers would be a mistake.

Xian: Then what shall we do?

DiMaria: We must...

Before she can finish her sentence she sensed something and quickly pulled Xian out the way and both leaped away to safety.

Xian: What?

As the two leaped away they saw as lightning strike every solider knocking them out unconscious. As DiMaria looked up she saw small orbs of lightning circling around. She knew this attack all to well.

DiMaria: Thunder palace.

Both Xian and DiMaria landed on the ground safely but not before Xian looked at all of his men.

Xian: No...what did you do?!

He yelled out towards Natsu.

DiMaria: Calmed down they are not dead.

Xian: How can you be for certain they're not?

DiMaria: That attack. It packs more of punch than just this. He held back.

Xian looked at DiMaria then back to Natsu.

Xian: How..how do you know?

DiMaria: I can't explain it...all I can say is that I've seen an attack like that before.

Xian looks towards DiMaria with a bit of worry on his face. She looks directly at Natsu and smiles.

DiMaria: Get ready Xian. It's just us now. Let's take this guy down.

Xian: Right!

DiMaria: Let's make this look good Natsu. What do you say? One more round.

She says to herself. Xian is the first to attack. He runs at Natsu before leaping into the air and delivering a massive spinning kick landing the hit with his left leg. Natsu blocked it using his right arm holding him off. Xian immediately goes for another kick this time hitting him with his right. But once more Natsu blocked it and used Xian's own momentum against him pushing him back. Natsu take a step forward and punched Xian. Xian just dodged the punch with a split second to spare.
