Chapter 43 - The Dead Man Walking

The cloaked figure fires a massive blast of energy massive towards me and my men, I raise my hand making shooting out a wall of fire trying to block the attack, I waited for the blast to him my wall of energy but it doesn't, I look up in the air and the blast flying into the air before splitting into hundreds of smaller blasts, It begins raining down,

Before I could react the blast hits my shoulder sending me tumbling to the ground, I bounce off the ground before surrounding myself in fire, The hundreds of blasts rain down on the fire, I pour all of my energy into the fire barely blocking the attacks it rains down blasts for minutes until It finally stops,

I stop my fire before standing up and looking around me, hundreds of dead bodies lay on the ground only a few of my men are still alive...

~~~

I stay floating in the sky, that blast I just did took a lot of energy out of me, only five sodiains remain they all group to watch me that made my job of destroying this town so much easier, Only the woman and four others but one of them is laying on the ground barely breathing,

The woman grips her sword before flying up to me, She appears next to me almost instantly she swings her sword downwards, I dodge kicking her hand up, she lets go of the sword before catching it with her other hand, she slices down cutting my leg, I throw jab it lands knocking her head back before I could follow up, I had to dash back due a fire blast coming towards me,

She stares at me confused, the three other men are charging towards me, firing blasts of fire that I skillfully dodge, one attacks me from high, one from low, and the other is charging head-on, I fire a blast at the one attacking from below he creates a wall of fire blocking the attack, the one above throws a punch, I contort my body barely dodging the attack, I grab his wrist slinging him to the one charging straight at me, he catches him, he stares at the man he caught and looks back up at me but before he reacts I hit him across the head with a punch, he staggers back with his guard held high, I throw a jab breaking his guard, He lashes out throwing a wild overhead, I pivot my body catching him with a hook to the temple, He shakes his head before flying back throwing a slash of fire at me,

I duck the slash while catching a punch from another man, I break his wrist violently jerking his hand to the side a loud pop could be heard, I thrust my hand out grabbing him by the mouth firing a blast killing him, a massive explosion echoes through the sky, the two other men fly back regrouping, I look around and see that the woman has disappeared,

A few seconds later I feel a gust of air hit my face, I slightly turn my head before a blade cuts straight across my jaw, she yanks the sword back, causing an even bigger cut on my face, I dash back firing a blast at her she slices through it dashing towards me...

During this intense fight, a few civilians ran up a hill and into an enormous castle, with a great big moat with a long dark wood bridge creating a path to enter, the civilians screamed like the end of the world was happening,

" We need more soldiers to come to our city, the monster is killing us, " screamed out a sodiain yelling at a guard standing next to the entrance of the castle,

" You should know by now that the royal family won't help commoners without a huge benefit or great reasoning, " said the guard in stone cut tone,

" Princess Gingeale is fighting the monster and shes losing the fight, almost all of her forces have been killed and the man barely has a scratch on him, " pleaded the sodiain while throwing around his hands wildly,

The guard's eyes widen as soon as he brought up Princess Gingeale, the guard instantly left his post and went to warn everyone else...
