The Dungeon Tree

Chapter 42: Explosion!



"Fine, I'll do it. I don't know how it'll help but I'll still do it." I said, charging at Crimson.

I swung my sword at Crimson but my attack was blocked. Crimson attempted to stab my chest but missed and cut my arm instead. Blood began coming out from where she hit hit me. Crimson prepared her blade for another attack but was stopped when Daz attacked her from behind.

"John, you can do this. With how you fight it's easy to predict how you'll strike. Try to mix up your fighting style to throw her off." My katana said.

I nodded and readied myself for another attack. I rushed Crimson as she was attacking Daz and slammed into her, crashing her into the wall.

"Let's take this outside. I'd rather not have the whole house collapse on us." Daz said, signaling me to move.

When we made it outside we turned around and waited for Crimson to exit the house. Crimson slammed the front door open and walked further out of the house. She stopped moving and stabbed her blade into the ground.

Before I could make sense of what she just did, Daz grabbed onto me and dragged me away. The look of his face was one of complete panic.

"Explosion!" Crimson yelled. Her voice echoed through the entire area. I couldn't see Crimson but I wouldn't be surprised if she had a wicked smile on her face.

A large explosion was heard overhead shaking the entire area. Huge winds began blowing and soon I was knocked off my feet and was released from Daz's grip. The last thing I heard before everything went black was Daz calling my name.

I slowly reopened my eyes and took notice of all the debris around me. When I picked myself up I could feel some debris fall off of me.

"Can you please stop looking around and remove all this stuff on me? I'd do it myself but I don't have arms." The voice of my katana came from behind me.

I turned around to where I heard my katana's voice and saw that it was almost completely buried. I began to walk over to where my katana was located but fell over after only a couple of steps. As I tried to pick myself up again I heard someone's voice in the distance.

I turned my head to see who it was and saw Bahn sliding down towards me on a tilted wall. Bahn ran up to me and helped me up to my feet. Thanks to him helping me up I could continue trying to receive my katana.

"There's a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes calling herself Crimson. She's the girl who blew up this section of the town." I said.

"This wasn't the only explosion in the town. There were multiple ones that hit all around the town. I don't know the casualty number but it's not looking so good." Bahn said.

As me and Bahn stood there, I could hear another voice. The voice was coming from where I heard Bahn's not to long ago. I turned to see who it was and saw Daz running towards me. I watched as he ran closer and closer to me and caught a glimpse of why he was running. Crimson was right behind him.
