Chapter 28: LONE HIKER
"What! So fast" the woman shouted as her hand glowed brown light and a large boulder materialized in front of her into which Kurtz fist slammed and the boulder was violently decimated sending smaller rocks flying all around.
"Strong!" The woman exclaimed again.
Right through the destruction, Kurtz could see the man's flaming chain came swinging towards his legs.
Kurtz raised a leg but the chain had wrapped around the other and the Warlock pulled with great strength.
Kurtz was alarmed to feel the flames on the chain rapidly burnt through his bony carapace before he felt the ground quaking underneath him. He shot towards the warlock just as the ground collapsed in where he had stood.
The Warlock seeing his charge, punched right towards Kurtz but before the punch could connect, a gigantic ball of flame materialized from his fist.
Kurtz crashed right into the flame which exploded on contact and he could feel searing pain washed through his entire body. Kurtz hand grasped extended through the flame gripping right into the Warlocks hand.
"What is happening to me." the Warlock exclaimed in horror as cracking sounds could be heard and soon the bones in his body were jutting out right through his skin.
The Witch by the side froze in horror watching the Warlock's body broke and bleed from the strange bone outgrowth and soon, the Warlock's body had collapsed to the ground and slowly, the Bone Demon turned to look at her.
Kurtz could see the Witch frozen still in utter shock and he calmly turned back towards the portal. For the first time, he had seen what a strong Magician fought like and a Royal Vampire would surely struggle against any of this two and the chance of winning or losing was actually tied, actually he felt it most of the Royal Vampires could die if they faced the fire Warlock.
However, he had yet to see what the Witch King could and now he began to understand why the White haired Witch seems so confident.
Soon, Kurtz stepped into the portal and his vision warped for a moment.
When his sight cleared up, Kurtz found himself on a frozen plain and he could feel cold wind caressed his skin, looking down his body, there was nothing on it but a pair of short pants.
"Why did it have to be a Warlock with fire magic" he muttered, before walking some distance forwards, he reached the edge of a cliff looking down for a moment.
It was night and from down there, he could see a tent beside which a car was truck was parked.
Some distance from the tent, a group of four were sitting around the flame. They sat in opposite pair of a man and woman, chatting and laughing loudly.
"I shouldn't startle them." Kurtz muttered, before moving to the side of the cliff from where he jumped down.
Slowly, he approached the group from the side, not stealthy in the slightest.
The group of four suddenly quietened as they discovered a figure approaching form the side and they all turned towards him.
"Hey, friends." Kurtz said stopping some distance from the group who exchanged gazes before looking back at him.
"Are you alright men, you look lost." One of the man spoke beckoning towards Kurtz to move closer.
"Ah! Yeah, I am a lone hiker, encountered some problems along the way." Kurtz spoke, hugging his body as he walked towards the group.
"I should get him a clothing." A lady said to the rest before standing and walking into the tent.
Kurtz reached the fire feeling warmth and he forced a relieved smile. Vampires thrived in the coldest regions in the realm called the Underworld.
"You should get closer to the flame." A female voice spoke and Kurtz looked up to see a sweat suit, pant and snicker being handed over to him.
"Thanks." He said wearing the cloths before sitting beside the fire again.
In fact, he was not in the least cold, he only needed some clothing materials from the bunch and now he had gotten it, he would leave immediately they lose guard.
Soon, the four returned to their chats seemingly to have forgotten all about him.
Back in the Underworlds...
In front of a blinking silver portal, a woman was hunched over a horrifying bone corpse. This was the Witch who had just attacked Kurtz and the corpse was her dead partner.
"Katarina." A man's voice suddenly called and the Witch looked up, her face all teary.
In front of her, she could see a purple haired man whose eyes scrunched for a moment.
"My Lord." The Witch said, bowing her heads towards the ground. This was King Merlin.
"What happened here?" King Merlin asked.
"We, we attacked a creature trying to break away from the Underworld. He had a normal human like appearance at first but just after we attacked him, he transformed into a strange creature covered in some white armor and attacked. He was too fast, too strong and too resilient, he also seems to possess a strange power to control bone and he, he did this to Dean and Broke away" the woman reported as tears streamed down her cheeks.
The King's frown deepen on hearing that. This were a Magician couple who both possessed great strength that rivaled even that of the leaders and he had purposely stationed them to guard the portal just so they could restrict even the strongest supernaturals from leaving the Underworld or at least get a good look at them before retreating to give their reports.
"The Breaker, did he look like a Demon." he asked with thinned eyed.
"He didn't look like a Demon my Lord, he was a Demon, a bone Demon." The Witch with venomous gaze.
"Very well then, go back to the Kingdom with Dean's corpse, I will be gone for a while." the King spoke before moving towards the portal. Now he was absolutely sure that the Breaker was Kurtz and it was likely, he would encounter the Bone Demon this very night.
