The Black Necromancer

"Traitors!" A young Demon cried out as he was stabbed in the back by Lance's sword. He tried to struggle, but was engulfed by burning gold flames a moment later as Mica descended from the sky. The young dragon burped up a puff of smoke before smirking smugly at Lance. He had gotten a bit burnt up when Mica had suddenly swooped in with his Dragon Breath.

"Did I burn you?" The young dragon chirped and leaned close to Lance.

"Back up, lizard face!" Lance growled as he pushed at Mica's snout.

"Humph!" Mica snorted and spun around, using his tail to slap Lance's feet from underneath him.

"Argh! You damn lizard!" Lance cursed and hurled a fireball at Mica, but the fire breathing reptile simply swallowed the fireball and cackled before taking to the skies. The blond boy sighed and ran a hand through his hair as he looked in the direction that Mica had flown. They were supposed to go together but the playful dragon had left him behind.

"Fine, then." The boy snorted before pulling out a special treasure from his spatial ring. A small circular metal board appeared in his hands and he dropped it onto the ground. Immediately, a large amount of ambient mana was sucked into the board, and it began to glow brightly with power.

Whoosh!

The board glowed with a red light and began to levitate. Lance stepped onto it and it rose higher into the air as he commanded it to with his mind.

The board was a special treasure that he had won as one of the best performers in Divinity's Bout. Normally, those blow A rank did not have the ability to sly unless they had special abilities and skills. The board was called the Mana Board, and it had the ability to fly. It was tied to only a single person's mana, which meant that it could not be used by another person, unless the initial user passed on the authority, or was killed.

Lance sped off over the three tops as he chased after Mica. Their mission for today was to wipe out the camps of the Demons that were manned by weaker people. Although Lance was only Peak D rank, he could still punch above his rank thanks to his wide array of powerful treasures, and his smarts. As for Mica, there was no doubt that the C rank magical beast could pull its own weight.

Whoosh!

The wind whipped through Lance's hair as he quickly caught up with the fleeing black and gold scaled dragon. Over time, the dragon had grown bigger, and was now roughly the size of a carriage. His large body was hard to hide, so it was not hard for Lance to find him and catch up.

"Big lizard!" Lance called out as he flew over Mica's back. Mica turned up and snorted as Lance put away his flying treasure and dropped to land on Mica's back. However, Mica suddenly swung to the side, making Lance miss and fall down to the ground with a scream. The young dragon grinned evilly as he listened to Lance's scream, before he swooped down and caught Lance on his back with one smooth and easy movement.

"Y-you" Lance's teeth shook as he tried to catch his breath. He had been shocked by Mica's sudden movement, and his mind had not thought to pull out his treasure again.

"Heh." Mica snorted victoriously and continued flying.

The two continued to fly for a few more seconds uninterrupted before Mica suddenly swerved to the side.

Whoosh!

A giant metal arrow flew by his side harmlessly. It was a weapon that had been fashioned specially for Mica. The young dragon growled angrily before turning around and swooping down to the hidden camp that had been set up. His maw opened hungrily as golden light built up at the back of his throat.

Boom!

A compressed orb of golden flames shot out of his mouth and down to the ground. The golden orb of light exploded into brilliant golden flames that engulfed that entire area. An earth shaking explosion unfolded and the entire camp was destroyed just like that.

Over the months that had passed after the end of Divinity's Bout, Mica had also grown considerably more stronger. Now, he was sitting on the boundary that separated C and B rank! His growth was astonishing, even among Dragons that were known to have exceptional potential!

"Damn, that's scary." Lance whistled as Mica rose back up to the skies. The camp that had been set up as an ambush for him had been cleared, just like that. Not even he had expected that. He thought that it would have been a harsh battle since the Demons had taken the first move and caught them by surprise.

"That's what all my enemies get. Ever burning flames." Mica said firmly as he continued flying. Lance turned back to take a look at the destroyed camp and saw that the flames did not eat at any tree or plant. It only burnt up the corpses of the Demons that had tried to kill Mica. A shiver went up his spine as he saw that. Thank goodness he was on Mica's side!

"Just so you know, that will also happen to those who try to go after Mama's heart. Watch your back." Mica growled dangerously. The young dragon's head twisted back to fix Lance with a chilly look before he turned forward and continued flying, as if he had not just threatened Lance.

"Err... I'll keep that in mind, thanks." Lance gulped and held on tighter to Mica's neck. Surely, the dragon did not mean that he would burn Lance up in those golden flames?

Lance's thoughts went back to his friend whose hair had only just begun to grow once again and another shiver, this one much colder and sharper, ran down his back.

'Elena will protect me from you, lizard face!' Lance thought to himself, and he felt Mica's body shake, as if threatening to throw him off. Surely, the dragon could not read minds too?!
