Asiva's heart kept beating out of her chest when she saw the destroyed Southern fortress as at first glance there was nothing but death and carnage all around.

" MAX? MAX? WHERE ARE YOU MAX? " Asiva shouted at the top of her lungs as she flew over the debris

Mira who was also equally anxious managed to spot Max and swooped in straight towards the spot where he was lying with his back against a pillar.

" Are you okay? " Mira asked in Draconic as she could feel the vitality in Max's body but the man was not opening his eyes.

" MAX! Open your eyes you bastard, don't you dare die on me! " Asiva said with a teary eye. Unlike Mira she could not feel Max's vitality and hence assumed the worst when she saw him all bloody and with his eyes shut.

" BOOO " Max said suddenly as he opened his eyes and startled both Mira and Asiva, as he began chuckling straight afterwards.

" Im- I'm hahahaha fine, I'm fine " Max said as he looked at the horrified expression on the face of Asiva and felt that it was truly funny.

Asiva threw herself in Max's arms as she wept non-stop, whereas Mira blew fire into the sky, irritated by this insensitive prank of Max.

It was only when Max felt the moisture of Asiva's tears on his shoulders, that he realised how big of a deal this was, as he knew for a fact that except when her father had died Asiva had never wept for something.

" Hey, hey, shh, I'm okay, I won okay? Everyone else is dead, I'm with 2 broken legs and lots of injuries, but I'll be fine, I'm alive " Max said as he tried to console Asiva.

After a good warm 2 minute hug, Asiva wiped her tears and kicked Max hard at the balls before standing up as she said " Fucking asshole, idiot, insensitive, mentally unstable BASTARD "

Max rolled on the ground with his tongue between his teeth to stop himself from screaming from the pain.

Max realised that he deserved it after the prank that he just pulled off, however it hurt like hell.

Often in his life he had used the infamous [ Ball Crusher ] attack, but only today did he realise the sheer magnitude of pain that attack brought.

If only ball kicking was this painful, then ball crushing must be exponentially worse.

' Grandpa Drax, I'd like to change the nominee for strongest attack, it's definitely ball crusher ' Max thought as he talked to the old A.I. within his head

' Yes, ball crushing might be the strongest attack against pathetically weak men like you.

Against real men with iron balls, it's nothing ' Drax said in sarcasm as he admonished Max for not having trained his balls like the rest of his body.

" MAX! YOU ARE OKAY! " Sebastian said as he threw himself on Max straight from the back of his dragon mount and landed straight on Max's chest as he knocked the wind out of Max's lungs

" Agh fuck me, even the enemy did not do as much damage to me as you bastards " Max said as he coughed violently while Sebastian clinged to his shoulders and cried

" The hell? What are you crying for? " Max said as he shoved Sebastian aside, as unlike Asiva who was a female, Max had no desire to console a male.

" I'm sorry I left you, I was a coward " Sebastian said as he wiped off his tears

" May the cowardice always be with you, Amen " Max said in response

" Amen " Sebastian replied instantly but then thought it was wrong as he tried to correct himself but his system crashed.

" How the hell did you pull this off? " Anna who had landed with Sebastian, asked as everyone became quiet and let Max speak on as to how he destroyed the entire Southern fortress alone.

" Well you see, your captain here is something else. He cannot be stopped by these rabbits, he is Ravan the hound, the mad beast who cannot be stopped " Max replied narcissistically as he did not wish to reveal the exact cards as to how he achieved this.

pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 " Bullshit, I'm asking you someth- "

" Here are your orders now lieutenant Anna, scout the small contingent of patrol barbarians on patrol duty between our first and the southern one from your superb vision and dragon height, lieutenant Sebastian organise an attack on those groups and take all but 50 men from the northern fort to do so.

Lieutenant Asiva, prepare a combat report and urgently send it to our superiors inside planet Maralago. The barbarians will take 2 days to mobilise troops after they realise that their southern fortress has been neutralised overnight, time is of the essence now, we need to cover as much land as possible within these 2 days.

Mira, I'm pretty much dead as of now, my body is healing slowly from the health potions I've drunk, but it won't regrow shattered bones.

I'll need you to guard me for a few hours before my troops arrive, if that's okay with you " Max said as he authoritatively gave everyone their orders.

" I'll stick around for a while " Mira said as she looked away from Max

" Aye Captain " Anna said as she called on her pet and took off into the sky for scouting

" Aye Captain " Sebastian said after a few seconds, as although he was still feeling guilty the matter was settled for now

" Aye Captain " Asiva said after thinking about it long and hard as she was not sure if she wanted to leave Maxs security to Mira.

However, in the end she realised that Mira was a stronger fighter than she was at the moment and could actually defend Max better.

Hence although reluctant, Asiva flew off to carry out her duties as instructed by Max

With all the ruckus behind him, Max finally closed his eyes for real this time as he let himself have a well deserved rest as his MP and stamina bars recovered slowly.
