Chapter 88 - [88] The dragon lord

Not a single muscle moved, nor a single nerve, it was as if time has stood still. Except it did not. "Aghhh...My back hurts..." Risinger complained, as we all stayed glued to our spots like statues."To be honest, I don't know what guild you are, but I did see yall wrecking my contractor stuff indeed." Risinger leveled his lance towards us, and I found myself subconsciously backing up a little."Anyways, I am paid to do my job. So which one of you is in charge?"Silence, as I subconsciously found myself backing up another."Ah, you huh?" Risinger pointed his chin towards me. I swear, I would have been shitting bricks, if it weren't for a second later, I realised his eyes were pointing right past me..."The self-titled Dragon lord Risinger. Currently rank 9 in the world." Rima's voice came from behind me, and we all turned to look."Yep, that's me alright." Risinger replied with a confident grin."What are you doing here fighting a bunch of noobs like us? Don't you have much better things to do as a pro?" Rima said, as she began to pace forward."It's good money now. And yeah, even pros need some extra cash let's just say." Risinger shrugged."Ah, understandable." A scythe like smile spread across Rima's face. "And what you are about to say next is: Ah, you're the leader. Now, if you can beat me in this 1v1, I will let all of you go, and even if you lose I will still let the rest go. If not, I will just fight all of you.""How did you know? Are you a fan of mine?" Risinger raised a brow."You could say so." Rima shrugged casually. "I also know that, out of your 720 duels, you have lost 1.""Ah...That one..." Risinger looked away for a moment, seemingly lost in memories. "Yeah, I admit, I did lose that one." Risinger twirled his lance, then straightened it again."This area is by game setting a default war zone, there will be no real 1v1 now." Rima said with a spice of warning in her voice.Risinger stared, then blinked at her for a moment. As his lips quickly turned into a smug expression the next:"You're right, there will be no real 1v1. And true, I am by myself today." Risinger looked up. "And by girl Kat is just off wandering, she can come pick me up again when I am done.""Done? Sorry, you will have to explain that to me in greater detail dragon lord?" Rima gestured."Oh, it basically means, you can all just come for me. There is like...50 of you right?" Risinger scanned around."A hundred." Rima bluffed."Oh, my senses must be getting a little dull now..." Risinger waved his hand in dismissal."Alright, yall can come at me any time." Risinger rotated his shoulder. "Any time now." He said more impatiently this time.Then out from the corner of my eye, I caught Rima shooting me a sideway glance, that screamed nothing else but one word:Run.That was my same thought as an axe travelled right between me and Rima, and straight towards Risinger.Q: What would you do when facing an overpowered foe?
