Kapitel 36: I'm Already Dead (1)
The sky was black, Tranquility was brought by the stars. It was the calmness that called body and soul to rest and let the heart go to its steady and calm rhythm, Night comes as a reward for tired souls but not this night.
The whispers of the chanting mages were heard faintly throughout the Bronze Rift Mountain, The chanting brought a chilly vibe with it.
"Go through with the plan, We have to make the formation in an hour or so," said a baby-faced girl with dimples on her cheek, blue hair, and athletic body to a group of hooded people.
The group of hooded nods without stop chanting.
The group of hooded people places some kind of stick in a pentagon formation, they chant a spell together making the scene look scary.
After thirty minutes or so the pentagon formation glows blue, it releases mist that covers the place and expanding. The mist brought a relaxing feeling to it, making soldiers lower their guard.
The baby-faced girl smile with a satisfied look, she gives the hooded people and her comrades a pill which then swallowed instantly by everyone and walks to a man with a cape on his armor, "Senior the preparation is done, Now we need to guard this place until the sun rises"
The Senior nods his head nonchalantly, He's sitting leisurely on a rock with four corpses around him.
"Why do we need to be afraid of the Lovlarix and use this kind of trick? We can just massacre them all" said a medium build man wearing dark blue armor to the senior.
The senior glances towards the medium build man and say, "Let me tell you this, Keep up that attitude and you will be the first one to die. The Lovlarix cannot be underestimated, they are the army of the same size as our kingdom after all".
The senior reminded the rookie, The medium build man shut his mouth instantly after hearing what the senior says when suddenly the senior glanced right like he senses something. The Senior grinned evilly and said, "Looks like this night is not so boring after all"
----------------
Vical groaned after getting stabbed below his collarbone, He immediately goes back to Zed and Owin to assess the situation.
"Are you alright?" Asked Owin to Vical.
"No matter, that kind of injury is not that fatal for me" answered Vical.
"Okay, There are four people on the enemy side the middle one is the problem. He is a level seven Noble Knight, who is confident enough to take stall him?" Assessed Owin.
"I can stall him for as long as you want, I can even beat him I think" replied Zed confidently.
"Don't be rash you are just a level six Knight rank, let Vical fight him" said Owin worriedly.
"Trust me, I can handle him," Said Zed to assure Owin.
"Fine, just try to stall him while Vical and Me will try and get rid of the others".
While Zed's team was analyzing the Senior's team, The senior was analyzing Zed's team as well. What he found that Vical's strength is somewhat stronger than Zed because of his bloodline, Vical's muscular body in Werewolf forms emitting aura that seems wanted to burst.
The other looks not as threatening as Vical, Making the Senior interested to fight Vical and leave the rest to the rookie.
"Are you done getting ready yet?" said the Senior towards Zed's team.
The senior words snapped Zed's team from their discussion, They try to focus but they somewhat can't focus on things they wanted.
The Senior grinned wider after seeing Zed's team condition.
Out of thin air, a scythe appeared on the Senior's hand which brought the devastating aura with it.
The Senior gives a signal to his team that he wants to fight the werewolf one which the other probably not its match, The stare-off between the two teams makes the atmosphere grow stiff, even a falling needle will be heard in this silence.
The two teams stare at each other while carefully looking at their movement, The one who attacks first will be the one that going to be targetted.
In this stare-off unbeknown to the senior a dozen of green smoke ball rest on the ground, Owin is preparing for the fight to separate the senior with the others.
All of their senses were on high alert but somewhat Owin's skill cannot be detected, The senior has enough of the stare-off and charge first towards Vical.
The scythe on his hand scratches the ground while he dashes making a bright spark because of the friction between metal and solid ground.
The spark blinded Vical for a second when suddenly the senior already in front of him.
"Cursed weapon enhancement!"
The scythe tries to cleave Vical to two with dark aura around it.
Vical sense heavy danger from it, He immediately back away to avoid the cleave.
The cleave scratches Vical's shoulder because of the drowsiness feeling, Just as the senior wanted to close the distance between him and Vical a fist emerges on his side aiming for his face.
The fist packs a punch sending him to fly away before stopping after he stabbed the scythe on the ground.
Vical was confused, His reaction shouldn't be that slow. He looks at the mist once more and realizes its effect, He gives a signal to Owin to be careful of the mist.
The senior looks at the one who punches him, in front of him stands a hulking man with a very muscular body looking down on him.
"Your opponent is me," said Zed while folding his arm in front of him.
After looking at Zed, the senior looks at his team but to his surprise, they are all held back by the werewolf and a cloud of green smoke.
"There are three of you?" asked the Senior with a surprised look.
"Only two, the green smoke is probably a god that wanted you to die," said Zed with a mocking face.
"Damn You!" Looking at Zed's demeanor is making the senior angry.
The senior eyes glow black, his scythe aura turns deadlier, Crows appear out of nowhere while cawing at Zed as a sign that Zed will die today.
"I have death bloodline itself, You think you can mock me?!"
The senior's body turned into a blur, Zed immediately activates his bloodline that makes his eyes glow blue.
Meanwhile, Vical and Owin are fighting three people one is a Noble Knight rank with a shield and sword the rest is Noble Mage.
The fight breaks out as soon as Vical dash forward to attack, while Owin interrupting the mages chant to stall them of their magic.
Vical and the medium build man exchange blows after blows, The power inside every Vical's punch makes the medium build man pushed backward and a dent on the medium build man's shield. One can see the difference in strength between the two just by seeing this exchange.
"What is this green smoke? I can't breathe" said the medium build man.
"Dispell Magic!" the baby-face girl chant and dispelling the green smoke that suffocating them.
This created a gap that can be exploited by Vical, He dashes like a lightning towards the girl behind the medium build man by faking the attack to the medium build man.
The medium build man relieved, he can finally breathe but that relief didn't last long because a muscular black fur creature are in front of him with claws as long as his palm.
He immediately holds his shield up to shield himself but the attack never comes.
He lowers his shield to see where the creatures went but to his surprise, the action he took to shield himself brought devastating consequences.
"ARGGHH!!" a shriek was heard.
The medium build man act as a defender for the two mages behind him that can help him boost his power and attack. Just because he is surprised due to the sudden arrival of Vical, He shields himself forgetting that the mages behind him are defenseless.
Mages are strong because of their spells but they still need some kind of shield to help them chant.
Because of the medium build man mistakes make one of the mages to suffer the consequences.
The medium build man looks to his back and saw a gory scene, The other girl is clawed on her abdomen even though she already activates her earth defense skill.
The attack from Vical slice through the defense skill, blood gushed out of it endlessly until she died due to the loss of blood with an unbelievable expression on her face. Vical raised the dead girl on her neck while looking at the remaining two.
Fear crawl on the baby-faced girl and the medium build man, Icy hands gripped their heart making them stiff all over.
Vical and Owin are not the typical spoiled powerful kids from a noble household that only spar, They grow up in an environment full of violence that one mistake will cost them their life.
The baby-faced girl and the medium build man slowly step away from Vical in fear, They always shielded from everything by their family but this time their family cannot save them so having stuck in a difficult position makes the fear even greater.
Vical red eyes look at them viciously, his eyes seems to want to devour them. Owin appearance materializes beside him with an evil smile on his face looking like a demon that comes from the depth of hell making the baby-faced girl and the medium build man legs feel like jelly.
