As I walk through the darkness my brain was processing all that information earlier. Those languages. Those must have been the language of a Displacer Beasts. But there was more. It was filled with words I couldn't understand the meaning to. And yet I knew they held magic in them.
My shirt half destroyed as blood continued to drip out into the endless void as it vanished. How had I managed to summon that sword. And why did it come form the abyss so easily.
I could hear. I heard three things coming my way. Armor clinking. Almost sounded kind of rusted. And when I looked around I found my eyes seemed to zoom in on them somehow. Killing the Displacer Beast did something to me. What else can I do though.
Three beings of Animated armor were coming my way. And they clearly didn't have people inside them is how I could tell. They didn't breath. Their movements odd like a humans but more direct. And then one by one they drew their swords as I stood up realizing what was happening and one had a bow.
"Why does everything want to kill me Here damnit!" I shouted as I tried to get that sword from before to form in my hand but couldn't. And the I felt them get closer I took off running as one as one shot a arrow made of flames from mana towards me.
"Crap." I jump to the ground letting the arrow cross above me. As I roll over trying to get up as another arrows was coming at me.
I barley moved to the left a little in time as I felt the heat from it's flames against my arm. I got up quickly as a massive rusty metal sword swung for my head as I bent backwards it grazed my cheek. A small cut took form quickly as blood came out and the sword traveled past me with it's swing.
The then another arrows slammed into my shoulder setting it ablaze as I crash through the air onto the ground of this endless void. Nothing but darkness and yet I could see things better then earlier. Far better.
I rolled over quickly as the board came down and slammed against the void inches away from me as I got up running. Or at least trying to run. The burn mark on my shoulder was over the cuts from the Fiplacer beast. And the cuts along my back hurts with each movement. But the adrenaline had already kicked in numbing it greatly.
"Damnit. Please just work. Do the thing again." I keep saying as I help my hand out trying to form that sword again but felt nothing. And began feeling absolutely weak. I had nothing. And I was too exhausted to keep running soon and then I heard the three things of heavy animated armor come to a stop.
I looked behind me for just a second as I saw them fighting something else. Two Displacer Beasts where attacking them. One second in for t of them the next behind them. The tails shot some sort of energy like green lightning. But it only traveled maybe five feet so they had to get close. The tails also seemed sharp when the flowers closed up looking like large swollen spear tips. Slice and punctuating the armor of the three suits of armor.
I just stood there for some reason. Like a absolute idiot watching this scene take form. Then one of the suits of armor crashed to the ground in parts as they lost form and then a second. The third tried to shoot them with the bow but they moved too fast and their tailed punctured into it. One, two, three hard smacks aging metal going through.
Then the metal armor feels to the ground in pieces losing it's form. Seemed enough damage to he armor broke them at least but took a lot of damage still. Both of the Displacer Beasts locked eyes with me and I felt fear go up my spine.
As one looked at the other. "Should we kill him." It said and it sounded slightly confused.
Probably because a kid was just standing there like a idiot after watching them destroy three things of animated armor.
"Might as well dude." His friend said as they suddenly weren't where I was looking.
I jump to my right as one of them flew past from behind just were I was standing.
"What the hell." He sounded angry and completely shocked I managed to dodge him. "How did he dodge that.
I was suddenly seeing a massive paw with claws heading straight for my face.
I thought «Ghost Step»
My whole body with the slightest step suddenly went from in front of the massive paw to behind the second Displacer Beast that had tried to strict me.
"Woah." I had no way to explain what or how I did. But I managed to use some sort of magic. And it felt like my whole body stopped existong for a second.
"How... How did the boy use that. Only people who have learned for years can use that spell. Our kind is born with it." The second Displacer Beast said it whirled around trying.to strict me again it's claws.
«Ghost Step»
Once again I appeared behind them yet I was starting to feel like I had more control what direction I could go.
"This isn't normal." The first Displacer Beast said as it walked from seemingly nowhere to the second.
I looked at them as I spoke "No kidding. How am I doing this." My voice was cracking from all the pain now that my andreline was running out.
"Wait... you can understand us?" The first Displacer Beast said.
"I don't know how. But it happened after I managed to cut one of your kind earlier and the blood from it touched me." I said as I thought back to where I almost died and how this was happening. Still not making sense.
"Well that changes things. So did you kill him." The first Displacer Beast asked.
"Yes." I said bluntly.
Hello just felt like saying as of right now to remind you the MC is still only ten years old. Second this chapter was a little odd for me to write. But I want to improve my writing and this seems a good starting point for now.
my goal for this series is a hundred chapters all over 800 words minimum. All of this will be free forever.
please leave comments about what you'd like to see later on. Simply seeing people are reading and interacting gives me more support then anything else to keep written this.
