NOVEL NEXT Chapter 43: swarm
On a giant bird flying through the sky the human prince sat with a smile on his face" I waited so long for this day it was good of that bastard to take himself out of the picture " the human king not far from him nodded
" yes it was but don't let your eagerness get ahead of you we can't do anything drastic still "
The next day in Elise's room she woke up from a knock at the door " get up sweetheart we need to plan the preparation for the wedding " Elise sighed heavily before getting up and getting dressed 'I guess we are really through after tomorrow...I miss you ' she thought to herself opening the door
Outside was her mother, kal and Liam who was in a floating chair that looked pretty comfortable " let's grab a quick breakfast before we start going places " her mother said as they made their way to the dining room along the way Elise noticed a worried look on Liam's face
" don't worry they won't hurt you here nor will we let them " she says to calm him down he but just nods " thank you princess "
they continued on to get breakfast before headed through the city talking to various people for the plan about the wedding
***
The next day
" thank you " I say grabbing a paper with a stamped seal instead of going to the bar like I normally would I made my way to the city Bank to take out some money from my most recent hunts when
I got there their was quite a bit of people inside so I had to get in line It surprisingly didn't take to long to get to the counter
" ahh...welcome back ghost what can I do for you " a woman asked as I got to the counter
" I just wanted to turn in some papers from my recent hunts " I say as I put the stamped papers on the counter she took them and placed it on a rune beside her after a few seconds it glows " excellent do you want the coins here or delivered to your residence I was about to answer when I felt a sudden pull on my body " deliver- " I tried to talk but I suddenly disappeared as space folded around me
***
A few minutes earlier
" i get were you are coming from but this is the most food and freedom we have had in a long time" Birna says while in a big group a human woman raised her eyebrow " how long will that last...he will ask for something eventually and we can't live off him forever can we" birna looked down " no but I feel we can trust him at least "
The human woman opened her mouth to talk but a child's scream cut her off
looking towards the entrance of the courtyard there were a bunch of Dwarves and humans at least a hundred there one had grabbed a little girl
Before anyone did anything a goblin maid came forward from behind the group birna was talking too " let her go and leave you are all not welcome here " she said in a strict tone to the ones at the entrance of the courtyard a well dressed man came forward there was a boy who seemed to be thirteen years old not far behind also dressed like him
" are you the one who killed my men and stole my property" the maid just took out a coin with a rune on one side and a lighting bolt on the other " don't say I didn't warn you "
after that she tossed the coin towards the well dressed man who was confused after it landed far away doing nothing
" get back what belongs to me don't damage them too much " he says to the men around him just as they took a step forward the coin started spinning and floating as blue lightning shot off it before disappearing being replaced by a hefty short man with disheveled curly hair and green eyes blue lightning was coming off him as doom as he popped out of nowhere
***
" stop" I said as soon as I appeared last time this happened I got tortured so I rather be safe then sorry looking around I saw a lot of people at the entrance of my courtyard at the other end I saw a group of people I have saved looking at the entrance with fear frozen on there faces
Understanding the situation I quickly ran to the man who grabbed the little girl killing him as everyone was frozen in time then grabbed the girl throwing her towards the group
she froze again after I threw her still in the air after that I went to each person I could and slit there throats I got majority of them before i starting tasting blood in my mouth
disappearing and reappearing in front of the group I snapped my fingers to making everything move again
Quickly I held out my arms catching the little girl I threw earlier putting the girl down who ran to her mother I looked at the well dressed man he was looking around confused and shocked seeing more then half his men drop dead finally recognizing my existence he looked at me with anger " kill him quickly he shouldn't be able to do that again " most of the ones remaining charged at me
" your right I can't do that again but doesn't mean I'll be a easy kill " after saying that I got into a sprinter stance as lighting streaked across me getting louder and more vibrant before disappearing with a thunderous clap the ground were I stood cracked and caved In the only thing people saw was a blue bolt going in-between the ones who changed as they dropped dead or sent flying
Just as I was about to kill the last one something stabbed into me causing me to lose my speed the guy took advantage of this and stabbed me In the stomach ignoring the pain I grabbed his head before he could back away tearing his throat out with my teeth before spitting it out
i grabbed hold of the dagger keeping it steady as the man fell clutching his throat
" I'm surprised you can keep going " the well dressed man said
I shrugged at him " I've been skinned alive this is nothing " a loud roar rang out as a big lion like creature appeared behind one of the three men who stayed by the well dressed man's side the man pointed at me and the lion charged
as that was happening the man i assume hit me with the throwing stake shot two arrows from his bow one aimed at my heart the other at the head
Quickly Reaching behind me I ripped out the stake in my back the hooked tip had bits of flesh on it lighting discharged angrily as the arrows stopped right before hitting and turned around flying back at the man to quick to be seen killing him
the ground trembled as the lion got closer I twisted my wrist causing the lions head to spin around a couple times the lion fell over skidding on the ground before coming to a stop with blood coming out it's mouth
As that was happening I threw the stake in my hand nailing the summoner in the head killing him too
teleporting not too far from the well dressed man I swung my staff at the last remaining person the dwarve brought up his shield to block it his arm bent in the opposite direction from the force I spun my staff hitting the other end on his head killing him with a loud crack
Looking at the well dressed man I saw shock and fear on his face I went to grab him by the neck but blades extended out to cut me but froze before they could do anything to
" interesting...you know the great thing about gravity is that it's a fundamental law of the universe everything bends to it's will! " as I was saying that the blades that shot out of his body bent allowing me to grab his neck lifting him up
The young man next him tried to run but didn't get far " leave him alone "
I smiled at him hearing him say that " I wonder how many said the same thing to you " I clutched my hand and with a crunch one of the young man's legs broke he fell down screaming the well dressed man struggled in my grip " stop he has nothing to do with this he's just a child" I chuckled at this
" again something I'm sure you have heard before as you were torturing and rapeing family's I saw the look on his face when I first arrived he's not innocent in this is he" I clutched my hand again breaking his other leg
" your a evil bastard " I started laughing this time not able to hold it in " do you have a script somewhere I can't see or have you just kept these in your head for a situation like this"
I pulled out my knife I keep in my little pack and stabbed it into the man's stomach
" look watch your son struggle and writhe in pain " I turned him so the man could look at his son as he tried to crawl away
I made a fist again breaking one of his arm's
" please stop! " I looked intensely at him as the flames of anger burned brighter " did you ever stop when family's who have done nothing to you begged for their life for their family's not to be raped and killed then there pieces sold like a pig at a butcher shop people may call me a demon but your the real demons " as I was saying this I stabbed him a few more times a couple hit arteries causing him to bleed out
" be glad I can't make you suffer as bad as those you have wronged take it easy knowing your son will join you soon after I have a few more words with him of course " the man eyes went wide hearing me but he was to weak at this point to do anything as the life slowly faded from his eyes
Tossing the lifeless body aside I went to the young man
crouching down he looked at the smile on my face and felt pure dread like never before " let's play a little game " I said dragging him towards the mansion " please stop I'm sorry for all I did " I stopped dragging him and looked at him " no your not but you will be" after that i continued forward
