'We have newcomers and they don't seem to be friendly'. Thought Draken as he was standing atop a large statue near the entrance of the room, in his hand, held by the scruff of his robe is Ivor, as for why he saved his life as well, that's something only he knows. Perhaps he wants to make him pay with his own hands or he just wants to use him for information before erasing him from existence.
'It's only been a few seconds yet so much has happened and I need to make a move soon or I might loose my life like that guy'. He thought, looking towards the hammer wielding barbarian.
"Your people are dying and they are gonna keep dying while you watch, I can feel the rage coming from you, do you want to save them?… mmh I'll give you a chance, if you survive, I might let you go". ' hopefully he can make the white robed man make a move and show me what he's got'. Draken thought as he threw Ivor like a piece of trash, towards the fight.
" aargh!!" While falling towards the battle, Ivor conjured two magic circles, one on each palm, on the left hand side was fire and on the right hand was darkness and bringing his palms together, he managed to combine the two elements, creating a huge ball of black fire, he raised his hands above his head as he fell towards the ground, screaming as he attacked the knights.
Ivor was almost manhandled by Draken, because of his fear, but he is a magical genius with two elements and the leader of a underground organisation that has brought kingdoms to its knees so it's safe to say he is plenty powerful.
Seeing this, the man in white finally made a move, as he banged his staff on the floor, a white magic circle spreading on the floor, forming a white, almost transparent barrier covering all the knights including the bishop who was already next to him, protected by knights.
BOOOM!!
Ivor finally fell and clashed with the transparent barrier with his black fireball, creating a huge explosion sending powerful black flames and shockwaves across the room, thankfully the remaining members of ego had retreated when they sensed his attack, otherwise they would have been incinerated by his power.
The barrier showed signs of collapsing as cracks spread across it's surface but it still held up, as the white robed magician just added more mana, completely healing the cracks.
Seeing this Ivor was shocked as he knows the properties of his black fire are complete incineration, they can destroy metal and leave not even ashes behind, if metal can even be turned to ash, so for this barrier to stand tall, it means he'sdealing with a mage, as powerful or even more powerful than him.
Watching this scene, Draken was touched, the display of power awakened something in him, a desire buried deep within, the desire to gain power, unparalleled power, as he thought like this, he felt something burn in his chest and a strong heartbeat echo throughout the room, Draken felt it, not one or two but three distinctive heart beats and he could feel a different power coming from each of his hearts.
Blood, darkness, these are two of the powers and elements he feels he can control, but there is a third one, it feels cold and dark, chaotic yet peaceful, it's an energy of contradiction, it felt similar to the energy in his second heart but it was vastly different.
As his heartbeats reaches a crescendo, an explosion of mana was released from his body, sending a wave of red and black mana across the room and Draken felt something in him break, like a shackles that was holding him down, he has somehow just crossed the first stage of power.
