Chapter 5 The bandit’s
“That stupid Demi killed my brother 5 years ago and now my cousin Johnny!” The Bandit King yells out
“Don’t worry my king we have attacked the village they used to live off of and we even caught a Demi that was even defending it.” The bandit king’s right hand man explains.
“That’s amazing, William, great job, make them suffer, I despise all Demis.”
“Yes king Blast”
William heads on over to the prison cell with Zack to get some information out of him and to harvest his horns for weapons. Bill (Bill is short for William) rams Zack against the cell wall and screams at him before chaining him against the wall to wake him up.
“You had a lovely nap I’m guessing you demi.”
“I was until you woke me and drained all of my mana again.”
“It’s a lovely trick isn’t you disgusting mana beast.”
“So what do you want from me anyways other than my horns before you sell me off.”
“Information you silly beast, do you happen to know where a demi with blond hair and wings that can hide at a moment's notice.”
Zack smiles and laughs, Bill's blood starts to boil and his skin turns red as a tomato making him gut punch Zack. *cough* “So you do know.”
“ It won't help you they don’t use mana. They use something strange and stronger than anything I’ve seen before.”
“We know, but where is he? They vanished this morning and there was a barrier around them last night.”
“Give it twelve hours or even Ten minutes.”
“What are you implying?”
After they finish getting any other useful information Bill leaves quickly to inform the king of what’s coming. On the way though they get stopped by some other bandits that want to relay information and deliver valuables. So he takes them to the vault and unlocks it, the other bandits stand in awe of the huge amount of valuables. The room itself shines as bright as the sun during the summer blinding them when they first enter the vault shortly leaving after. Bill then continues on his way to prepare the Bandits for the Demi that’s on its way.
The night rolls in as the bowmen are standing guard around the bandit fortress, wearing their night vision lens. The bowmen don’t seem very worried about the news of the possible danger thinking it’ll be just a simple ordeal. Believing if they failed William would easily handle the beast by draining it of all its power before even reaching the king.
“They say it killed the king’s brother a few years ago.”
“Yeah.”
“Wasn’t he as strong as the king or atleast close at the time?”
“Well he did catch him off guard after chasing the kid for months on end.”
“I guess…”
The night comes to an end and still no Cel, so the bowmen swap shifts and head off to sleep. The entire fortress of bandits is dead silent, every bandit had pits in their stomach waiting even though they believed it wouldn’t be even that bad. But even so they all felt something as if Cel’s bloodlust could be felt even if over one hundred miles away. Some Bandit’s come into the fortress with a bunch of loot that looks like it came from nobles camping. The bandits that just arrived came in smiling and laughing ready to party with their golden cups. The silence quickly killed their party mood but they still tried.
I wondered when the bandits would strike like this, it took longer than I originally thought but they messed up. Cel is a very energetic person who gets attached easily and can not keep calm whenever something goes wrong. I should start getting ready for his arrival because if I don’t their overflowing bloodlust will knock me out too. The bandits would maybe stand a chance if Cel wasn’t capable of knocking out a whole metropolis with just pure anger. I’m the reason he's so violent though because he was very easy to influence, I feel bad that I made him act so much like a small child.
Chapter 6 The final battle
The air becomes a dark mixture of red and purple, the entire fortress shakes and everyone except for 3 souls falls asleep. But only 1 soul was unfazed by the pressure in the air as the source quickly came in, the battle was to begin. Bill slowly starts to stand and go to the source but The King stopped him, Knowing it was a bad idea to have them even try.
“So your finally here huh Cel it took you way too long.” Zack says as Cel breaks him out of the cell. “I guess, but how in the world did they get you in the first place” Cel replies
“Uh you don’t need to know” Zack says as Cel walks towards his prey, Zack starts to follow but is stopped. “no don’t even try to help right now” Zack tries to counter but admits Cel’s right.
The silence as they both approach is very well understood by both as it begins
I'm gonna end that kid once and for all, even if they're this strong I can still take them, so that's the one who ended my brother Cellen. Wow their hair sure is blond like platinum blond and their wings are giant and completely white, it’s weird though the wings don’t look like any birds if I were to describe him. Annoyingly angelic, soft, weak, strong, Beastly.
So that’s stupid leader of the bandits that tried to sell me off along with my best friend. He’s really bulky and is wearing a red headband with magic stones in it, likely to make up for being human. Humans rarely have any magic let alone lots of it so they use tools to be the equal of Demi’s. They must like beige or something because everyone here is wearing clothes with that color, huh wait a minute he has three swords.
“So what’s your name?!” They ask in unison as they prepare their weapons, which they both quickly reply with the answer. Cel pulls out a huge bone club from thin air and out from the bone they retrieve a thin but long and firm blade with a big handle. Blast pulls out a giant sword from his back sheath but it’s not very long, likely because of the placement of it. They take their battle stances and cover themselves with magical power for armor, yelling out to focus even more power into their weapons and then the bandit king smirks as the battle starts.
They start off by clashing their blades full force trying to show who’s superior already. The surrounding fortress starts to shake again as the ground around them crumbles, neither backing down until a blade shatters. Soon both blades shatter and Cel makes two thin needles of divine magic while Blast brings his other two blades from his sides much longer but not as strong as the other sword. They begin to clash blow for blow, they quickly start to parry each other. “Divine strike!” Cel yells out summoning lightning down on to the battle field striking Blast like a thunder god. Blast stands up smiling and counters with his own attack “Hell on earth” striking the ground beneath them and distorting the surrounding area. Cel gets sent flying upwards and immediately starts spinning like sonic to gain balance in the air, using his wings to stay up there “ so one of those stones have earth magic while another has illusion magic”
“Yep”
Cel quickly darts back down, throwing one of the needles while changing the other one to a real blade preparing an attack. Blast starts making a tornado by spinning over and over again, the wind starts pulling up the hellish terrain. The two attacks collide into an explosion blowing away the illusion created. Both get back up quickly from the blast and yell “Even without a weapon I’ll defeat you for what you’ve done.” They charge at each other with their fist wielding elemental attributes in their fists and just doing barrage after barrage Cel uses a round house kick but Blast catches it and starts spinning Cel like a rag doll but Cel grabs Blast torso and pulls off a reverse suplex. Cel jumps back and starts surrounding himself in lightning and fire, sending a flurry of attacks at Blast, he tries to counter but finally the attack succeeds in knocking Blast out finally. Cel then walks back to Zack ready to head home stopping by the guild to get a job there first. Once the duo make it home they begin making graves for the villagers that died to the bandits. After setting up the graves and holding a funeral for those passed they head to the guild base to see if being adventurers can help.
