Bab 67: NEMESIS!.
***On Planet Gieă, In the Outskirts of the Continent 'Eclipse of the Oceans', In a small house on top of a lonely and silent hill.
Through the darkness of the house, Navi's bloodied white outfit and orange eyes seemed to come to life as the last three members of the party watches as his back profile pulls out his bloody sword from the guts of their now dead partner.
Their charge to the door has been reversed into a flawless counter attack and all momentum dies as they can only see the cold pair of Navi's orange eyes staring calmly at them even in the darkness.
Their hearts pounding in fear and adrenaline and their mind registering the sudden and brutal loss of a partner in crime!.
The seconds ticked by but time stands still for them all as reality blurs. Two people were down, murdered brutally yet beautifully in less than twenty seconds. They are already at the door and retreat is the most logical option but that option is soon cancelled.
"Aaarrrrgghhhh!!!..", She exploded!.
The unstable half-dwarf breaths heavily and shakenly and then.. she explodes with fury as she fully registers the reality of the death of a friend but also her secret love.
She throws one of the dual axes in her hands straight at Navi and follows up immediately with a crazed charge.
The Axe throw catches Navi off guard but his body moves on time as he shifts to the side while hearing as the blade of the axe striking into the wall with a deadly impact.
Too close!.
Navi is snapped out of everything else as he sees as the intruder charges madly at him and there's not much he can do to slow her as she has already closed in. She's almost in his face and dodging the axe puts him in an awkward position for a counter attack or block.
Thinking on his feet, Navi knows that he did have one advantage. He knows the house like the back of his palm and she doesn't even see properly with the darkness.
The bathroom door is right in the wall by his side so what's stopping him for using it as a shield.
BANG!
The half-dwarf swings her axe down but it immediately gets stuck in the wood of the door Navi has just hurriedly opened up. Cramped in a corned with a door sandwiching him to the wall, Navi feels the cold force of the axe impact knocking into his frame.
He is now in a corner with his body half sandwiched between the door and the wall but he has already thought of the next move to get him out of this bad position so he has no problem executing it as he immediately cleaves his sword down at the wrist holding the axe that is of course still stuck in his door.
A quick reaction and a quick withdrawal from the attacker who pulls her hand back on time as Navi removes himself from being between the door and the wall before now going into the offensive as he sees the rest of the pack charging at him.
A wild and skilled Slash of his sword is easily avoided by the half dwarf but the goal was never to kill but rather to create space between both of them as she has a stronger and bigger figure than his own.
Only a few action filled seconds have passed since the scream that determined the start of the second round yet Navi almost died twice already!.
They say nothing makes you feel more alive than being chased by death and Navi is beginning to agree with this twisted notion as he swings his blade furiously once more with a subconscious grunt being released from the root of his lungs.
The tip of his sword sings through the air while drawing a horizontal ark that pushes the momentum of the two charging intruders back as they stumble a bit in the dark.
Navi blade is still in motion in the air and he doesn't stop moving as he turns around his own axis before releasing another attack. The attackers have been forced to give him space with just two swings but Navi plans not to spar but kill. Turning around fast, Navi is once more five steps ahead as somehow a dagger shoots out from his hand then into Troy's charging stomach.
Three skilled and wild swings of his sword each one with purpose, a spin with the third swing then a flying dagger out of nowhere but straight into an enemy's body!.
Navi is nowhere near done with the trio as he swings his sword once more but this time he adjusts his position forward while planning to deliver a finishing strike to the dizzy and retreating Troy who now has a dagger in his guts.
*!!!CLANG!!!*
Two metal weapons collides in mid-air as Navi's brutal attack is repelled by a nasty swing from one the beast man's foot-long dual cutlass. The entire of Navi's blade alongside his sword's handle vibrates from the recoil of the heavy collision thus numbing his grip.
Navi is forced to take a step back while Troy retreats a few backwards with his mind buzzing and his stomach wet by blood. He knows better than to try to pull out the dagger as he would bleed straight to death so he just focuses on a clumsy retreat in the darkness while hoping that his mates would be able to kill that.. Đęmōñ.
Forced to take a step back, Navi hears a grunt and a pull signifying that the half-dwarf has once more pulled out her axe from the door. The wall is just three feet behind where he's standing, the beast man is four feet in front of him and the crazy half-dwarf maiden is just five feet to his left side.
Their eyes were all on him and nobody makes a move as all they could hear in the almost complete darkness is their own heavy breathing and racing hearts. The weapons in their grips were held firmly,..ready to strike. -The beast man had each of his dual cutlass in his hands, the half-dwarf is with only one her small dual axes and she holds it high in her right hand as she cannot afford to search for the second axe stuck in the wall somewhere. Navi has his Claymore sword's handle in both his hands as he maintains a firm grip on it while holding it right in front of his torso as his blood stained blade points upwards and forward.
They were all moving yet on the same spot while they(The beast man, the half-dwarf and the injured and distant troy) all stared at Navi or rather his bloody white amour suit and cold orange iris that stands a sharp Contrast to the pale darkness in the house.
Reminding themselves that the blood on Navi's figure belongs to their fallen mates put a lot more pressure, anxiety and anger in their minds. Retreat!
Retreat is already becoming an option in their minds but did they dare turn their backs to this orange-eyed grim reaper?.
"Who.. are.. you?.", The half-dwarf asks through her gritted teeth as her eyes and breaths shows extreme anger and grief at the person who had just brutally taken the life of her lover just a few dozen seconds ago. She lives on the outside of the Academy so she has never been stared at or stared into those distinct orange eyes before but Troy and the beast-kin didn't need a verification check as the only questions in their tense mind is.. HOW?
How did he know?..
How did he manage to kill two of them so quickly?.
How were they not aware of the danger and brutality he represents?.
A minute hasn't even clocked since they set feet in the house yet all they were greeted by is a tense whistle from outside, visuals of a bleeding dead mate then another dead mate the moment they reopened the door.
Troy has a dagger in his stomach and almost lost his head, Malisa-(Half-dwarf) has lost one of her axes and Navi doesn't even yet has a scratch on him.
He wasn't even breathing heavy!.
They've killed a lot, They've robbed a lot and They've done more terrible things while hoping not to meet a nemesis one day but the nemesis they've always feared seems to be standing tall in front of them.
The decisions they make next would determine who gets out alive and whose blood becomes another stain on Navi's blade and suit.
Navi tilts his head to stare at the boiling half-dwarf through the darkness with his calm predatory orange eyes piercing straight into her soul.
For a moment, the grief and anger she felt was replaced by a tingle of fear but she has no time to focus on this emotion as her beast-man mate launches a sharp attack with Navi's minute distraction at her question.
