Aria Of The Cursed Dragon

Gone was the excitement and the anticipation to claim the head of the 'Butcher' , their hot blood had cooled down and in its place, a fear of the unknown had crept in.

The complete silence along with the rustling of the wind was very unsettling causing them to adopt weary expressions.

Their minds couldn't comprehend what was happening, one moment they were in high spirits and the next moment all their morale had crashed to the bottom.

And the series of events that happened led to them feeling like they were experiencing a very bad dream.

*Boom* 

A sudden explosion caused all the soldiers to flinch as some of them jumped back causing them to bump against each other causing a chain reaction of a bunch of soldiers falling.

Clangs of armors bumping against each other along with the groans of people resounded but the commanders of the army didn't have the luxury to bother about this small issue.

They were focused on the place of the explosion and the subsequent dust cloud that had been raised which denied them visibility.

This only made the tension in their nerves even higher.

They didn't know what had caused that explosion and this only added to the increasing fear.

Slowly the dust cloud started receding giving them a little visibility and they were able to see what appeared to be a shadow of a humonoid figure moving toward them.

An audible gulp resounded on the battlefield which summarised all of the soldiers feelings.

They all felt afraid and were filled with apprehension, clenching their weapons tightly they awaited the thing that was coming towards them.

As the majority of the dust cloud had receded they were able to make out the figure much more clearly. 

A tall figure wearing an Armor dragging a sword with it.

The constant thud of heavy footsteps along with the grating sound of the sword being dragged along the hard ground echoed in the silent battlefield.

The dust cloud had finally settled down and all of them were able to get a clear view of the culprit causing similar cries of exclamations to ring.

" I-Its him! " 

" The Butcher " 

" The monster is here! " 

Shouts filled with fear and anger resounded across the battlefield as the soldiers fixed their gaze on the bloodied figure of the demon who was slowly walking towards them like an executioner.

His apathetic gaze was the same as before and this caused some of them to feel weak in the knees.

One of the commanders Vance quickly snapped out of his daze and felt angry when he felt the fear and cowardice of his soldiers.

Vance wanted to shout at them to snap out of it as this was just a single man and he seemed to be injured too looking at the blood that kept pouring from his face.

He may look scary but Vance was sure that the 'Butcher' was very much weakened and this was their turn to claim his head.

Vance could even imagine himself beheading the Butcher and presenting his cursed head to his king and getting glory and rewards in return.

But Vance was broken out of his delusions when he felt a shadow cast over his face and he turned his gaze up to meet the apathetic gaze of the Bloodied man.

' When?' 

That was the only thought he could muster as he was cleaved in half. 

Silenced reigned on the battlefield as all the soldiers watched as Vance was split into two like a log, even his Armor wasn't spared.

They didn't even get to see what happened clearly, one moment the monster was walking towards them at a slow pace then the next moment he was in front of Vance and before they could even blink Vance was cleaved in half.

" Arghhhh!" 

" N-No! Get away! " 

" Monster!" 

" P-Please! " 

All kinds of screams and wails suddenly erupted making the stunned soldiers wake up as they saw the Monster go on a killing spree.

They couldn't even see anything clearly other than flying limbs and screams and wails of people.

" H-He is just one person! Don't let him scare you! Charge! " One of the commanders who was watching the one-sided slaughter reeled in his fear and shouted at his men.

Which seemed to work as all of them clenched their weapons tight and rushed towards the man who was more like a beast as he slaughtered their fellow soldiers.

Whether it was loyalty or the desperation to survive all of them started to move towards the person they deemed as a monster believing they could end him with their numbers.

And he seemed to be barely hanging on as blood was constantly pouring down his body, even without their intervention he would die but they wouldn't be able to gain the satisfaction nor the recognition of slaying the fabled Dragon Slayer.

But none of them knew that this would be a grave mistake caused by their ignorance, greed and arrogance.

A man becomes the most dangerous when he has nothing to lose.....
