Chapter 12: Hope Lost
The fight had started
Behind a thin tree, meters away from the fight was a nervous looking Trip, he had his weapon ready not because he would join the fight but because it gave him a sense of protection, it had been nearly an hour since the fight between his sworn brother and the pale looking, beautiful elf. Thought Trip was terrified he still couldn't help but admire the inhumanly beautiful creature
With his golden hair flowing like a river every time he moved, his nimble body fluidly dodging strikes and his concentrated face was full of drips of sweat gathering on his forehead, this picture somehow aroused him and he couldn't help but feel disappointed that his beautiful face was going to be ruined by the time this fight ended. Ayase's hopelessness was growing by the minute, his soul power was still recovering and although it was going at a faster rate now, he still had to use a little bit of it to maintain his stamina.
Another bone crushing punch was thrown towards his head, and again he dodged it but this time the bounty hunter he was fighting, Finn, had managed to nick his cheek creating a cut on his flawless face, making him swear and retreat up into the trees, the only thing he could do right now was flee into the forest, this was the safest option for him because this man seemed to only rely on his brute strength alone
So all he had to do was avoid close combat with him and hope that the bird was going to keep his end of the deal. With his fastest speed, Ayase jumped from branch to branch running towards an unknown direction
Fin's sinister smile was still in place as he knew that the elf was no match for him in his condition, the rope that had been used to tie him up was specially made by his master to restrain non-human creatures, it would take a while before his full power could be restored, this was why Fin was so confident even while facing a creature with a superior soul power than him
He couldn't wait to carve that beautiful skin into something unrecognizable thought Fin, and as this thought passed to his mind, the bloodlust fueling his powers grew even more and in one solid move he was able to catch up to the feeing elf and land a hit on his back, bringing the elf down from the trees and on the forest ground floor
Two and a half hours had passed, the bounty hunter seemed to have grown stronger but Ayase had grown weaker and weaker due to his still recovering soul power, the fight had been moved to an open space deep into the forest
"Do you really think that without your full power you'd be able to beat me?" Fin asked darkly, chuckling at the pitiful image of the elf
Ayase's mouth was filled with blood, his body beaten with bruises covering his entire body, dirt and grime covered his entire person, his clothes torn to nothingness and only his pants remaining. He had never thought he would ever be caught in this situation when he volunteered to be on this mission. He had also never thought that there would be a human with this much physical strength
The bounty hunter suddenly looked up at the sky and signed "It seems like it's time to stop playing, I'm sure my brother wants a turn with you to don't you think?" he said while laughing, a perverted look that made Ayase's eyes fill with disgust and rage, and a little feeling of helplessness. Never in his life had he had these feelings, he had always been proud and elegant always respected by those around him
Yet look at him now
Ayase watched as the man's hands slowly reached for him and as the final sliver of light was about to dim in his eyes, a powerful roar sounded throughout the entire forest, a giant murderous wave passed through their whole body's unexpectedly bringing them all to their knee's
The cowardly bounty hunter had already lost consciousness and below on his pants you could see a giant wet patch slowly growing bigger which meant that the man, despite holding it in before in front of his brother had unconsciously wet his pants and lost consciousness in fear
