Chapter 346: Black Heart
A rock like fence exploded up from the ground to block Black Sabers view. Strong as he was, there was no way something like that could actually trap or stop him. Sage only used it to buy some time. Whitestaff regained her footing from the hurricane winds and started to rush towards Sage from behind. Their earlier collisions had shown him that Whitestaff had already formed her core and broken through into the fifth rank. He had no idea when shed done it, but it meant she was at the same level as Sage. Thankfully, his beast body was much stronger than a normal human one, so he still had an advantage. Unfortunately, after the earlier conflict shed run off and only now did Sage realize why.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
In the distance he heard the familiar sound of the Jade Horde on the march. They even trained so that their armor and weapons would clank together on the march to create a more imposing presence when they arrived. They could also move quietly, but the standard march was meant to be impressive and intimidating. The sound came from all directions, and scared as he was, the irony of the situation was not lost on him. He couldnt see them yet, but he knew he was being surrounded by at least one legion of the Jade Horde, if not all of them.
Whitestaff had never made a ranged attack on Sage, so he only had to keep away from her. Hed bought himself some distance and he wasnt about to lose it. Instead he used Foresight to dodge the invisible cuts coming from Black Saber, using the rock walls to show their cutting paths. Black Saber was slicing the rocks and kicking them out of the way at a fast rate and Whitestaff was catching up to him from behind. His injuries had slowed him down too much. He wasnt going to make it to Black Saber before the rocks were completely cleared and making more would stop him in place.
Then, a hundred giant insects appeared. Huge bladed centipedes, black worms a yard wide, horned red beetles the size of a garage, eight foot tall mantids, and brilliant green dragonflies with twelve foot wingspans suddenly mobbed around the green dragon. A scent that humans couldnt detect was released into the air and the horde of bugs seemed to lose their mind. They started chittering loudly and charging away in every direction. A dozen of them went toward Whitestaff and she deftly spun her staff. She kicked to her left side and sheared off a Mantis blade at the wrist while at the same time sweeping her staff to the right side and smacking back a huge centipede. Then she rolled away to avoid the spray of acid and a line of webbing. The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
Roar!
Sage spilled more blood of his own. Black Saber stabbed his blade into the ground and right into Sages chest. He had been using the frequency of attacks to determine Sages position and he even used the blade itself to pierce the ground instead of slashing and attacking with his signature move. He was going to slay a dragon up close and personal! Both of them brushed away the rocks like they were nothing more than dirt, clearing the way so they could lock eyes.
Sage used his right arm to reach across and grasp the saber stabbed into his chest. His claws and scaled fingers grasped it tightly, ignoring the pain while his blood trickled down the metal. Black Saber took hold of the hilt with both hands, shaking it to try and free it from the monsters grasp. At that instant, the dragons long neck swayed and its head darted towards Black Saber. He released the handle of his blade and reached out to grasp the large jaws opening up in front of him. If hed dropped the saber earlier he could have escaped, but it was too late now.
Sages dragon body was only about eight feet long, which wasnt all that large for a snake, but he was a good bit thicker in proportion, about six inches. His head was far more dragon-like than it had been in the past, but his jaws could still articulate. Black Saber caught the upper and lower jaw, ignoring the pain of the sharp teeth just like Sage did when he caught the blade. Black Saber tried to pull the two jaws apart, stretching them away from each other. There was a creaking and stretching noise, but the dragons jaws spread far wider than Black Saber had expected and most of his force was lost. He gathered his strength to try again, but then he dove backwards, slicing up his fingers to pull them away from the monsters mouth. Black Saber was bathed in white flames as he dove away, rolling across the ground to try and put them out.
Before the flames were even fully smothered, the dragon had leapt onto him, this time covered in a layer of blue and white. Black Saber grabbed it by the neck, holding back the snapping jaws and pointing its mouth away from him. Then he felt something cold at his side and he looked down. His own saber was being stabbed into his side, held in the bleeding claw of the dragon, torn out of its own chest and stuck into his. Black Saber stared into the dragons eyes, looking into its pupil and seeing the void of space. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
