I was again seeing this man in black armour. For now he was just walking, he walked quite a distance. Maybe 4km until he suddenly stopped and turned around suddenly. I assume it's another combat force coming but instead of going straight after them the man just stood there.
I noticed that even in his exhaustion his body never had that rhythmic expansion which signalled breathing. Hell, I never even heard any grunts or coughs from him. Were they even male? It seemed that way from the shape of their body but I never got any proof other than that.
In the distance a small group of eight were approaching leisurely. I could hear them speaking but at this distance I couldn't make it out. But as they grew closer, I started to be able to hear more and more.
“Remember, this mission is of the maximum difficulty” A thick and burly man spoke.
In response a very strong looking woman spoke up. “I still don’t get why the hell we have to deal with it, if this is of this calibre then why don’t they just deal with it themselves?”
The original man who I assumed was the leader replied quickly “You have heard what has happened to the holy land no? They are still trying to recuperate themselves.”
“So that means we have to destroy some hellspawn orb and its undead protector?” the woman replied back argumentatively.
Another of their group interrupted her bickering saying. “We are just taking orders just like you so let's just try and survive and get this over with, and remember this isn’t something any of us would normally face. A force like us would only be assembled to kill gods, so we need to assume that this man is at least someone that powerful.”
As they approached the armoured figure they seemed to get into position and readied themselves. Glowing tattoos spread across all of their bodies, all in different colours. Red, green, brown, blue and purple and suddenly going along with their respective colours, the ones with red tattoos created fire which sparkled while one seemed to have a bit of lightning infused with the fire.
The one with blue gathered water which swirled around creating a barrier, the ones with brown tattoos seemed to together conjure a fortress, the purple didn’t seem to be doing much at all, but the green ones created gusting winds which not only enhanced the fire but also slashed out at the protector which is what i begun referring the man with black armour as, starting the fight.
Suddenly the eye holes of the protector glowed a bright and beautiful violet, and in that instant he disappeared. I hadn’t seen this ability before, but he appeared right in between the formation of the attackers. Teleporting right past all the defences they had created.
Swords and staff blazed to life with light as magic was used but the protector didn’t just teleport. The head of their leader was clean off. No blood or gore, it was just gone. The others didn’t seem fazed by this however and attacked him swiftly.
The protector dodged the first two attacks by a hair's width, then cut off the hands of two swordsmen and destroyed the staff of what I assumed was a mage. Wielding the swords of the swordsmen he sliced clean through all three of those peoples necks.
The woman I had remembered speaking wore a horrified expression and ducked back into her team's tight guard. Right after the one with purple markings seemed to have finished what she was doing and suddenly what looked like a black hole appeared right in front of the protector. Which at first did nothing, then after a half second it did as black holes do, it devoured everything around it. Attempting to consume the protector in the process.
However the protector's violet eyes only started glowing brighter as the world around them seemed to bend and warp and as the protector raised his hand a sword matching his pitch black armour simply appeared in his hands, as if it had always been there.
Then three things happened at once, first the black hole dissipated, the energy generating it seemingly obliterated, second the protector's arms had finished the slash of his sword but I had not seen it even move. Third, the woman I had seen arguing with her leader was cut clean in two.
But right after the attackers group realised what was happening something must have happened as they all suddenly turned away, looking in the direction of the cognition hazard of an orb.
But what I noticed was the fact that the protector seemed to tense all his muscles at once before quickly turning and sprinting towards the orb.
