Aether Chronicles: Birth Of A Legend-Chapter 78: Tier Two Fighter
Raegar shrugged it off and wasn't interested in the eastern-looking soldiers, he turned to gather more supplies before setting out toward the border, where he would be able to hunt more monsters and enemy soldiers that he hadn't come across so far.
Hours later, he was closing in on the Dawnfire border after leaving Nightgrove Village and noticed the charred ground where recent battles had taken place, which was a sight he grew used to as he traveled north.
While traveling he was drinking Saki, that he grew to love during his time in the south. 'I'm going to have to buy more of this stuff when I reach a city,' he pondered.
The sun was setting, forcing him to get off the road to find a campsite, and soon stumbled upon a clearing deep with a group of nobles calling it home. He quickly used Flash Step to appear in the branches above, as soldiers tried to surround him.
Without speaking, Raegar vanished into the darkness of the woods, leaving the strangers confused, and soon enough he found a place to stay but it was a ledge overlooking the Dawnfire grasslands.
''A better place than any,'' he mumbled.
Following that, Raegar started setting up his tent before jumping to the ground below using Flash Step so he could collect some wood. Once he had an armful of sticks he reappeared on the ledge and created a fire.
The flames roared to life as he pulled out some meat and started cooking before he settled down to gather Aether to fill up his pools. A little while later the smell of his meal brought him out of his meditation.
He took off his mask while mumbling to himself. ''Time to eat.''
Aftward, Raegar lifted the stick, tearing into the succulent cooked meat as he gazed out over the sprawling, shadowed landscape. His eyes traced its dark expanse, a restless hunger stirring within him.
He yearned to strike at the enemy armies, but the question of where to begin gnawed at him, elusive as the night itself. 'I can travel across the southern part of Dawnfire while heading west,' he pondered while chewing on the soft meat.
'I'll attack anything I see, I can use my magic, bombs and speed against their numbers,' with a plan forming, he finished his food not long later.
Once Raegar was full, he crawled inside his tent while drinking a bottle of sake which made his head spin. He crawled under a bunch of sheets and curled up before falling asleep as the sounds of monsters echoed out across the woods.
The following morning, he woke up and felt hungover but ignored it while cooking some campfire bread. He smelled the dough slowly sizzling in the pan that was sitting on the boiling coals.
Soon enough it was cooked on both sides, prompting Raegar to start eating while watching the sun rise on the horizon. It lit up the world below only for it to reveal a plume of black smoke drifting into the air.
''What's that?'' he thought while glancing north.
Raegar stood up and couldn't see anything else but he packed away the tent while munching on his bread. Once everything was in his storage ring, he jumped off the ledge and cast Flash Step to appear on the ground with a quiet thud.
He traveled toward the smoke and spotted a town in the distance being attacked by an army of excited demons, forcing him to stop on a branch overlooking their camp, which was a mile away from the settlement.
'I'll use the fire bombs to cause chaos and kill the Korrvethians during it,' he pondered while gripping his daggers tightly. 'Take out their rear before hitting them as their distracted by the town guards.'
With a feral grin, Raegar yanked five bombs from his belt and hurled them into the demon camp. The small orbs struck their marks, unleashing a roaring firestorm that swallowed the night in chaos.
Flames clawed the sky, and the unsuspecting guards scattered in blind panic, their screams swallowed by the inferno. He didn't hesitate. Spotting two lumbering beneath the tree, Raegar leaped from his perch, a shadow in motion.
Mid-air, he spun with practiced skill, his blades flashing as they sliced through their necks, heads rolling before their bodies even hit the dirt. Following that, Raegar darted into the camp like a blur.
He cut down demon soldiers left and right while using their lifeless bodies to propel himself forward like a blur. His daggers cut through armor thanks to being covered with earth Aether that turned bone into dust.
Raegar killed everything that moved and ten minutes later, the camp was now eerily quiet which made him smile. He summoned his weapons that pierced through the general's bodyguards as they investigated what was happening.
Once all the enemies were dead he slumped onto a crate as his body shook, thanks to the fight and how much he pushed himself. He quickly drank a stamina potion that gave him some energy.
Following that, Raegar went around the camp looting everything worth something and took all the soldiers' coin pouches. Afterward, he approached the general's tent only to be shocked as a demon woman lunged at him while holding a knife.
''What the fuck!'' he muttered.
Without thinking, his instincts led him to jump back while deflecting the surprise attack before casting a Stormfire Bullet through the stranger's skull, prompting it to explode. He was breathing heavily as sweat poured down his back.
Raegar shook his head and looted a chest full of coins and other treasures before leaving the camp. He headed straight toward the town as explosions echoed out, shaking the ground, but that didn't bother him.
Twenty minutes later, he was stopped at a checkpoint guarded by a dozen demon soldiers who were mingling around. As the leader stepped forward, a dagger slammed into his forehead while another shot past and killed the mage.
The shocked enemies tried to react but Raegar grinned as he used his Aether to control the blades to take out any soldiers that got close. Blood rained down just before he summoned the daggers when the survivors reached him.
Several demon soldiers moved in and one big man swung a longsword at him, he jumped over the blade before hitting it with a Lightningfire Blast that killed the enemy instantly just as more attacks came his way.
Raegar started ducking and weaving around the attacks as he jumped onto a soldier's back while stabbing the man through the neck. He leaped off the dead body and threw his dagger into the back of the foe's knee.
Blood exploded outward as he controlled the weapon to block a spear thrust, forcing sparks to fly everywhere. He continued fighting until the last demon warrior dropped dead after being sliced all across his body.
Afterward, Raegar slumped onto the grass while breathing heavily, he was covered in blood and his muscles ached, causing him to think. 'I need some rest, that commander was a higher Tier Two fighter with decent skills.'
While recovering, he heard more soldiers heading in his direction forcing him to escape into the surrounding tall grass. Raegar crouched low before casting Titalfall and sending the metal rod into the sky using wind Aether.
It happened so fast that the Korrvethians didn't see it as they arrived at the checkpoint and started searching the area. The demon commander shouted. ''These soldiers were killed with a dagger and magic. Search the area for the Dawnfirian Assassin.''
Raegar chuckled before rushing toward the general's position while the spell Titanfall followed him high above. He used his spell to get close but couldn't find the leader, so he decided to attack the war machines.
''Fuck this, let's disrupt the attack and kill as many soldiers as possible,'' he muttered as his excitement exploded.
He stopped behind them only to be noticed by the surrounding soldiers but it was too late as his hand dropped. Raeger turned on his heels and used Flash Step to get away from the incoming shockwave.
Moments later, a loud noise could be heard just as the metal rod slammed into the ground, causing an explosion, as a large portion of the demon army was wiped out thanks to the force.
Raegar was flung away but he spun in the air before landing with a smile. ''Got you motherfuckers! Now for the rest!'' he exclaimed.
He cast Enhancement on his entire body and exploded forward while taking out any soldiers with swift slices and savage stabs to their heads. As Raegar battled his way toward the Dawnfire town, something flew at him.
Without thinking, he crossed his blades as a greatsword slammed into him, forcing him to let out a roar as his muscles strained against the attack, but he sent it into the ground beside him.

Raegar reacted and cast Lightningfire Blast at the opponent who stumbled back as the shocking flames washed over him.
