"Heh just that one?" He half joked. Not dying was a feat on its own and he knew it but they couldn't afford to lose. After coming this far to just lose... no they would win and for once the lands could try to work on peace. For once maybe they could act like they have a normal life and not have to worry about everyday that came to pass. Though the joke was short lived as Mizuki shoved him and ended up sparing both of them a direct hit from a spell that was cast behind them.

Well there was no mistaking who this human was. Rumors seemed to be true then... Though for the moment he listened to the slight exchange between Mizuki and the human lord. Mizuki's outburst was hardly anything new. Most did not get away with saying anything less of the two when it came to who they were to one another. No it was the next comment that made Thalion almost smirk a little.

"Well... thats a little harsh." He had been called a number of things in his life but that was one of the harsher ones, though he assumed there was reasoning behind such words. That was soon explained as the king went on. Hrm.. so Mizuki lied then, he had been told to kill him some time ago and had given word that he had. That was interesting to him at least. Though the mention of Mizuki not following orders was amusing all the same. It was true Mizuki did not take orders well.

This was when the King stated he would do the job. "Tsk you're welcome to try." He hissed before meeting the King head on to prevent any close ranged combat with Mizuki. Though the charge forward also was so he could cancel out the spell the king was preparing in the process. Ah yes if Mizuki had carried his job out the King's forces would easily over run this place. There would be a number less fighters as well as methods for dealing with mages.

This hardly mattered now as he needed to focus to prevent the King from cast any spells and to make sure he didn't land any hits. For a older human he was skilled he'd give him that. Years played a large role at the moment. Even being a human he had far more experience in battle then Thalion did. Though he was still making a pest of himself and the king was busy dealing with Mizuki as well as the other was trying to attack from afar.

Though there were certain spells Thalion couldn't stop. Lightening was fast magic or some of it was. The instant spells were next to impossible to stop without knowing they would be cast. This was what got Mizuki a few times and in turn seemed to cause a bit of delay in Thalion's reaction process from the sudden shock of pain from the link they shared. He had tried everything to avoid tipping off that there was a link. Though after a few cheap hits the King seemed to take notice of it.

A larger spell was cast, still far too quick to do anything about it. Though it was different. It lashed out at Mizuki being similar in how it acted to a natural bolt strike. Though it forked shortly after hitting Thalion before he had time to notice it as the King was keeping him more then busy by now. That stung. More then stung really as he winced trying to force himself to block the strike he saw coming.

Though the forced or want to move hardly helped anything. The spell that hit had done its work to temporarily paralyze its targets. Both trying to recover and the spell had been too fast to avoid they were at a disadvantage for the moment. Though the moment the blade the King wielded did its damage was when the effect wore off. Not that it helped Thalion any as he couldn't get another block up in time to prevent a second hit. The first being a mere arm wound. The other, was a bit more serious as the king aimed for his middle, in all truth Thalion had the devil's luck that that blow didn't kill him. Heck probably more so that it had missed anything that would cause him to bleed out even after healing really.

None the less there wasn't much he could do at the moment with his main arm even from the shallow wound was hardly in shape to force a block and at the moment he was hardly standing after the second blow and the king flipped the blade around to slam the hilt into his chest and forcing Thalion to the ground. For the moment things hardly looked that good and he wasn't given the moment he needed to recover from this.
