"If you want to gloat, then co closer. Let bite your head off while you are at it," Tiezzys mocked.
"You have lost," Jack said. "But we will let you go."
The others were surprised by Jack's declaration. So, what was all their effort fighting this yellow dragon for?
Hashi had the strongest reaction. "What the hell do you an we let him go? He killed a number of my crews. No way I'm letting him go! He is also a level 90 eternal grade. If he decides to co back for revenge, it will be difficult to stop him. It's not every day we all gather like this."
'Not to ntion we might not have the divine might potion the next ti,' Hashi added in his mind.
"My faction has a sufficient stock of resurrection potion," Real Janus said. "Your mbers haven't died for more than an hour. I can get the potions and resurrect them."
As for the Young Januses who died, they were re copies. It didn't matter even if they were not resurrected. There were still plenty of these copies lying around.
"I still don't understand why you want to spare him," Ragorth said.
"Heh! He is just bluffing," Tiezzys laughed. "His kind is known for their greediness. You will get lots of exp and loots if you kill . There is no way you let go. I know what you are trying to do. You want to catch off guard, don't you? You know I will take more of you down before I breathe my last. That's why you try to trick with this bullshit. Well, guess what? I am not that stupid!"
"You were stupid enough to accept the deal for coming here," Jack returned. "But no, this is not a trick."
Jack walked toward Tiezzys after finished speaking.
Eyrene ca to his front, preventing him from advancing. Jack nodded at her and tapped her shoulder gently, telling her that it was okay. She reluctantly moved aside, but she followed beside Jack, ready for anything in case Tiezzys made a move. The other royal agents also ca to Jack's side.
Tiezzys stared at Jack in bewildernt. Jack was very close now. He was in his human form without any defensive enchantnt. Elayne had also stopped ssing with his mind. It wouldn't be difficult to kill this human now.
He was very itchy to do so. Yet, he was surprised to find himself not moving. He just stared at the human as he arrived before him. He realized then that he believed Jack was telling the truth, and he was curious about why Jack did so.
He voiced his curiosity, "Why?"
"Because a friend of mine will be sad if you die," Jack replied.
"… A friend?"
"Broidrireg," Jack answered.
"You know Broidrireg?" Tiezzys was surprised to hear the na.
"We not only know, but Broidrireg is also our country guardian!" Lindsey exclaid. She was the weakest lee combatant among Jack's royal agents. Yet, she stood the closest to Jack. She was ready to use her body to cover Jack in case anything happened.
"Broidrireg? Lies…!! He will never be any country's guardian!" Tiezzys bellowed. His head ca dangerously close to Jack. Lindsey hurriedly put herself to the front. Eyrene and Robinson did the sa.
Jack pushed at them gently. He moved forward right before Tiezzys's head. He could touch the dragon's snout if he wanted to.
Tiezzys stared into Jack's eyes. He didn't see any lies in them, but he also couldn't believe Jack's words. He had indeed been in seclusion all this ti, so he might not know about the latest developnts in the world. But Broidrireg supporting a country? That was an absurd proposition.
"You can go to Mount Thenias and see for yourself. He stays in your old lair. I'm sure he will be glad to see you," Jack said.
When Tiezzys was still pondering Jack's words, he gestured to Janus, who made a series of hand movents. A light portal appeared near them then.
Tiezzys turned to that portal. He could sense that this portal was the exit to the outside world. It was very close. If he dashed in that direction, no one would be able to stop him.
Tiezzys looked back at Jack again. He still found it hard to believe everything this young king said. He was truly spared? Broidrireg was truly Themisphere's new country guardian?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Tiezzys started moving toward the portal. He still stared vigilantly at everybody, in case they made a sudden move.
Hashi was itching to move, but he saw that everyone stayed put. So, he also didn't move.
When Tiezzys almost stepped into the portal, Jack's voice stopped him again.
"Tiezzys!" Jack called. "I let you go this ti for Broidrireg's sake. But if you co to cause harm again, I won't show any more rcy the next ti. I want us to be clear on this."
Tiezzys sneered. "You only win this ti because of your allies. You are not my match if you are alone."
"That's true," Jack said. "But I always have my allies backing up."
Tiezzys didn't give a response. He just gave Jack one last stare before he stepped into the exit portal.
After he was gone, everyone could finally relax.
Another light portal appeared, which caused almost everyone to tense again, but they saw it was another Young Janus. This Young Janus carried a bag with him.
"Inside this bag are the resurrection potions. Please administer them to your mbers," Real Janus said. These casualties happened because of his evil twin, so he felt responsible. He didn't think it was a pity to lose these valuable resurrection potions.
Ragorth and Hashi's aides imdiately took the potions and went to their fallen comrades.
As for the ones who had been turned into stone earlier by Tiezzys's earth pillars, their petrification ended once Tiezzys walked out of the portal. Jonathan ca to them with a bewildered look.
"Did we win? I don't see that giant dragon's corpse," he said.
The other royal agents filled him in on what had happened. Jack went to greet Ragorth and Hashi.
"Thank you for your help, Master Ragorth, Master Hashi," Jack said. "You have truly helped us. We would have surely lost if not for your tily arrival, but why have you co here? And how?"
Ragorth and Hashi looked at one another before answering, "It's because of one of your guild mbers. She was the one telling us that the murderer of the faction leaders was hiding here and you were in that murderer's captivity."
