章 111: Victimlessness
Tiffania's feet quietly shuffle away from the entrance to the cellar, gripping her weapons tightly as it opens and two men descend. One of them is an older man with a pot-belly and a large beard, they wore a strange small hat and seem to have picked up the cleaver from upstairs.
The other was a younger boy, around maybe twenty years old. He had blonde hair, ragged-looking stubble, and a relatively fit physique... Obviously, both immediately noticed her once they climbed down, one of them using a candle to light a nearby torch that illuminates her face.
"I-it's the elf!" the older man's eyes widen, raising his cleaver with hostility.
Tiffania raises both her wand and sword in response, but her fearful expression makes her look less than ready to fight... "S-stay back! Or I'll hurt you!"
The older man laughs, "Ahahahaha! You hear that, boy? Says she'll hurt us!"
"W-won't she use her magic on us? Like the old man up there?" he asks, clearly not enthusiastic over finding an elf.
The old man shakes his head, "Look, she's using a sword. Means she's run outta whatever hocus-pocus she uses... Say, if we cut her ears off, won't she look like a fine lay?" he says, giving a grin that makes Tiffania want to throw up...
"I can still use magic! Stay back!" she threatens with prodding her blade in their direction... Though, the strain on her arm from just holding it was exhausting enough.
The man chuckles and slaps the younger man on the back towards her, "You're still fresh aren't you boy? You have the first go then, ah, remember to cut those ears off first. Might be able to keep her to ourselves if we're lucky-" he starts but pauses as the younger man stumbles towards Tiffania, half wanting to attack and half not.
"Just stay still and I won't hurt you-" the younger man says but is cut off by Tiffania as she lets out a scream/battlecry.
*Puchi!*
Tiffania thrusts the blade forwards without much skill but somehow manages to drive it through the stomach of the unguarded youth. He gives a shout of pain as he falls backwards while the older man gasps in surprise at his injured friend.
Tiffania, shocked, leaves the blade in the stomach of the youth as he falls backwards, her breathing erratic as she tries to calm herself down after what she'd just done.
The older man scowls at the elf however, knowing that she'd just given up her weapon. "I'll make you fuckin' regret that, Elf scum! You'll be my fuckin' whore until I die of old age, then my fuckin' kids will use you!" he shouts, approaching her with his cleaver ready.
Tiffania shakes her head, raising her wand towards the man with tearful eyes, "I WON'T BE A VICTIM ANYMORE! ERASE!" she screams, causing a blinding light to envelop the cellar.
Once it fades, the pot-bellied man is revealed to be standing there with a dull expression. Eventually falling backwards and crashing into a nearby barrel of alcohol. Unbeknownst to Tiffania, her spell had been powerful enough to not only erase his mind of all memories, but also to remove all of his body's unconscious functions, literally making the man forget how to breathe, pump his heart, digest food... All of his body's functions had been deleted, leaving him a decomposing husk.
Tiffania takes a moment to calm herself before looking up at the cellar exit with determination, she steps over the bleeding youth while extracting the sword Michael had gifted her from his stomach, climbing out and exiting the bar to see if she could find him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michael lands outside the bar and frowns when he notices the open door, "Someone's been here." he mutters, quickly entering and climbing into the cellar, only to find two corpses instead of Tiffania... "Fuck." he spits, instantly backtracking and running onto the street, looking around for any indication of where she was.
Rampaging dragon? No.
Fleeing civilians? No.
A single dragon knight firing spells at a random street? Well jinkies Batman, we've got a match!
He pounces towards the area and easily spots the cloaked Tiffania hiding behind a crate while occasionally trying to fire levitated objects at the enemy... It wasn't an effective strategy, but none of her other spells was even close to being in range. Her Erase spell required her to be quite close, and the same could be said for her newly acquired Combustion spell.
"Yo." he greets while landing behind her and turning visible again, causing the girl to release a squeak and jolt as she turns towards him.
"M-Michael! Those dragons! They're burning the town!" she exclaims, her tone demanding an answer as to how the situation devolved so far.
He scratches the back of his head, "Ah, right. That... Well, let's just say the dragons don't react well if you kill their riders." he states, causing the elf to puff her cheeks.
"I thought we weren't going to burn the town." she mutters, but before he's able to reply a large stone projectile crashes into the crate they were hiding behind, causing shrapnel to explode everywhere.
The duo was safe from it in their current position, barely. But they had to get moving before another one was fired in their direction.
"Wait here, I'll deal with that guy." he says, not hearing her response as he pounces a couple times to reach the rooftops, pouncing again to get into range for a Blink Strike.
*Clank! Shrrrrr!*
His blade skittering off of the back of the knight's armour as he stands, knowing that Michael was about to appear. Michael strikes again as the man tries to block it with his bracer, this doesn't work out too well though, as he isn't strong enough to block the attack with a single arm.
The sword doesn't cut through his arm, but it forces the man to punch himself in the face, knocking him from the back of his dragon and sending him plummeting to his doom below. "And another berserk dragon." Michael mutters as yet another mad beast begins roaring.

章 112: Vengeance is best served blue.
The dragon crash lands and Michael jumps off of it and goes to retrieve Tiffania, who's now staring at the rampaging dragon with a look of futility mixed with exasperation and reluctance.
Michael sheathes his sword and picks Tiffania up in a princess carrying after storing her sword in her sheath for her, "We don't really have a choice right now... I can't fight beserk dragons while fighting the other knights. Let's just let them deal with it and finish this." he says, running towards the lord's mansion and ignoring the chaos occurring behind him.
She's about to retort but he starts talking again before she can get a word out, "And didn't I say to stay put!? Did you really think you could have handled that dragon knight alone? Not everyone is gonna get into range of your Erase magic!" he says, scolding her for being stupid... He wasn't even sure why she left the bar, sure she would've had to share it with two corpses, but it was better than fighting dragons!
"I-. I wanted to help!" she blurts out with a slowly building blush.
...
Michael would've sighed had he not been sprinting through the town while carrying her, "You can help me by not trying to kill yourself! Know your limits Tiffania, sure you killed two peasants, but that doesn't mean you'd stand a chance against elite mages!... Forget it, we'll talk about this later." he says as they finally reach the stone walls surrounding the lord's mansion.
Michael easily pounces over it, but he ends up landing in between two groups of guards who were guarding the mansion... Both groups stand there for a moment, too surprised to immediately act... "Er, don't mind me. Just passing through." he says, not convincing anyone as they draw their swords.
"If you wanted to prove yourself, nows your chance." he says as he lowers Tiffania and draws his own sword, casting "Shock!" causing lightning to blast through a few of the men. Unfortunately, a nearby bell is rapidly wrung by someone, causing many more guards to stream out of a nearby barracks... Figures this bitch would hold back all the guards to protect herself instead of the burning town!
"You know what, fuck this. Serpent Wards!" he shouts, casting Shadow Shaman's ultimate ability and causing ten huge snakes to appear and start blasting the guards to pieces.
The guards were seriously outmatched by the wards, and their weapons did little to nothing against their ephemeral bodies, especially since almost none of them could actually reach the snakes without being blown apart by Fire Darts.
With that, he picked up the shocked Tiffania and runs past the guards, smashing through the mansion's front doors with his shoulder. A few servants scream and run away, but he ignores all of them aside from the butler who had been standing near the door. He lets Tiffania go and grabs the man, bringing him face to face as Michael grins at him.
"Where is Tatiana." he asks, his hand slowly tightening around the man's shoulders.
"M-m-mistress!? S-she's in her l-lounge upstairs! F-first door on the l-left!" the man squeaks out, and Michael lets him fall to the ground.
"Come on Tiffania, we got a bitch to smack." he says, heading to the stairs and kicking open the door to the lounge, his face contorting into a bloodthirsty grin as he lays eyes on Tatiana who was observing her guards fighting Michael's Serpent Wards through the window.
"Wha-!"
"Remember me you damn cunt!?" he exclaims, sprinting at her as the woman tries to draw her wand. She doesn't manage it in time however, as Michael smacks the wand from her grasp and grabs her by the throat, forcefully holding the woman against the window. "Because I remember you!" he growls, remembering the humiliation and torture she helped put him through.
"I-I was lied to! I was told you were but a mindless slave! I-it's L-Lord Cromwell y-you want... A-and t-that Sheffield!" she hastily chokes out, trying to pry herself out his grasp.
Michael scowls, "Like that makes any fucking difference!? What? You think I was just going to put you down and forgive you, even if what you said was true!?" his clench around her throat tightens. "Cromwell and Sheffield will get theirs eventually." he states and turns his head to Tiffania who was standing behind him with a conflicted expression on her face.
"This bitch was one of the people responsible for hurting you, Tiffania. You wanna go before I end her?"
Tiffania chews her lip for a moment before eventually shaking her head, "N-... No." he determines.
Michael crooks a brow, "You sure?... You aren't gonna tell me to let her go or something?" he asks, unsure what she was thinking.
Tiffania shakes her head, "She hurt both of us, why should I help her?..." she tilts her head and gives a small, understanding smile, "Hurt her back for both of us."
Michael grins and nods, turning to face Tatiana, "You heard the lady... So, how do you wanna die? Burned alive? Blood loss?" he says, shaking her slightly and releasing the grip on her neck slightly as she was beginning to turn blue...
"P-Please... L-let me go..." she mutters, knowing that anything she did would be futile in the end.
Michael thinks for a moment before nodding, giving the woman some hope... Until he opens his mouth. "Hey, remember that time? You know, when you tried to castrate me?" he gives a toothy grin, "Well, how about I return the favour?" he states, drawing his knife and stabbing it into the woman crotch, causing her to get agonized muffled screams in response.
*Puchi! Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!*
Michael continues stabbing her, the woman squirming in an attempt to stop him, but not managing to do anything. Blood streamed down from her lower stomach and crotch from the many stab wounds. Tatiana hadn't lost consciousness yet, but she wasn't far off.
He drops her on the ground and spits on her, "What goes around comes around, I'll see you in hell... Or whenever shitty people who worship Brimir go." he says, picking up her body and throwing her out of the window, her corpse getting shot by the Serpent Wards below as they had no more targets aside from her.
He wipes his bloodied hands on his trousers before turning and hugging Tiffania, "We did it!" he giddily says, picking her up and twirling her around.
"M-MichAEL!" Tiffania squeaks in surprise, unable to stop her laughter at his mini-celebration... It was pretty morbid considering what they'd just done, but Tiffania couldn't think of a time where she was more comfortable than this... Even if she did have to talk to him about the destruction he'd inadvertently caused via those berserk dragons.
