'Sir, I guess he's telling the truth. He received many hits but he's still continuing saying that he lives alone, we should hurry up and move out.' Ryder said and the cold air got a bit warmer. '{Sup with the atmosphere, it was getting colder by a second now it's getting warmer. , what's up?}' Ryder realized something that a few of them thought of.
' No, we should continue the torture'. Haruto said.
'What?' Akirion got surprised. And it got more colder.
'Ohh yeah, why not, let's continue until he tells the truth!' Kragg happily said, in order for revenging his back scar.
'{What are they up to, Master told them that he lives alone, Why do they want to continue the torture, are they even human? I should do something to save my master at any cost.} Akirion silently talked, while hidden behind the woods.
'{Akie I know it's hard, but don't do anything stupid that would land you in wrong hands, and by that time, you will stay with them until your last breat…}' Thaneiros got cut by Kragg who kicked his head before he completed his sentence.
'HEY OLD MAN, TELL US THE TRUTH, WE ARE NOT PLAYING HERE!' Kragg confidently shouted at Thaneiros.
'{What truth are they curtain of? I don't understand, now they are pissing me off, they should be gone by now.}' Akirion continued to be silent in the woods.
The cold got worse, another soldier started shaking.
' What's wrong?' Ryder asked the shaking soldier.
'{wait, is he for real, he doesn't feel that cold? Or I'm sick?} Ohh it's nothing, it's hard to watch while I know that the RPU will be here soon.' a soldier gave a point.
'You are right, we should get out of here before they show up.
'{Yes, Yes leave, you've hurt my master a lot, I won't forgive all of you, I'll be coming after you, one by one, be careful not to die during that time.}' Akirion blabbered to himself quietly wearing an angry face, staring at the them.
Ryder went to Haruto and told him the idea of leaving.
'No way, he should tell us the truth, we aren't living without the kid, so, you, tell us the truth!' Haruto held Thaneiros' hair and started hitting the face with his punch.
The wind blown, it got colder and colder by a second and they started shaking.
Their mouths started breathing the visible breath.
' Ohh god, it's cold, never new that the nights are this cold.' another soldier spoke and he heard no reply from the other shaking soldiers.
The three interrogators , Haruto, Kragg and Gideon continued asking and torturing Thaneiros as if they were hitting a donkey. They completely ignored the cold at first. After sometime, Haruto started hitting Thaneiros in order to feel warm, but the cold kept on rising. The temperatures were very low and the wet tree leaves started to turn white. The soldiers felt as if they were freezing. They couldn't even open their mouths after sometime.
Haruto ended up giving up on hitting Thaneiros, because his hands were cold enough that he felt pain when hitting, even hitting a bit and Thaneiros' blood was like, almost freezing. Haruto ended up saying;
'Seems like we were wrong, but tell us the truth old man, where's the kid '.
'I-I don't know what you are talking about'.
'Let's go guys, and the mission is not over yet '. The soldiers turned, heading for the gate, but Gideon and Kragg stood behind.
'Hey you two, let's go, there's nothing to do here!' Haruto called the two warriors but they didn't shake.
Gideon was thinking of his favorite hood that was cut into a short funny thing by Thaneiros and on the other side, Kragg was ruminating about the pain he was feeling on his back and it was all because of Thaneiros.
'{ really, they are planning to let this old man live? Not on my watch, I'll play cool.}' Kragg and Gideon silently said at the same time. They continued by asking Thaneiros.
' Tell us the truth, where is the little kid?!' the two asked at the same time. Haruto and the crew looked at the two who surprisingly spoke the same words at the same time.
Suddenly, Akirion was no longer in the woods. The bigger tension came from the house side and everyone got some scary chills.
A black like black cloud appeared infront of the house. The atmosphere changed but the cold remained the same. Everyone's body got disturbed by the look of that thing. The scary black shadow, kept on moving slowly, they didn't locate the core with their normal human eyes. The only person who new, was Thaneiros.
' Ohh great, I didn't see this one coming.' Thaneiros said, laying on his back.
The blood thirsty humans didn't understand Thaneiros at all, cause they couldn't even feel their bodies.
Their bodies continued shaking, but that time, they were not shaking because of the cold, the disturbing dark shadow made their bodies stagnant, without any movement.
After some minutes of being stagnant, the soldiers broke the seal of quietness by saying.
'Wh-what's that?' another soldier asked, in a terrified and surprised state. But the other terrified soldiers didn't reply. The two weapons were also terrified because that thing got all of them stagnant , terrified actually , in explicable.
The shadow was an intense aura, that was only seen when it was close.
'W-w-wh-what's that.' the terrified Haruto asked.
'Truth? Truth? Truth?' a youngling or a female voice echoed the word truth, and the bunch of thirsty humans were mouth dry, they were all terrified and surprised.
'Truth huh, okay, I get it. But.....(the place got completely quiet, listening to the upcoming words. Surprisingly, they spotted a young kid, moving towards them, coming outside of the dark shadow which they saw from the beginning.) GET AWAY FROM MY MAASTERR...!!' Akirion shouted but his shouting was cut by something.
'shhhh!' Kragg jumped on Akirion's back and got everyone surprised including Akirion. Everyone got a question like <'when did he get there, because he was with us a second ago'.>
Akirion slowly looked at Kragg with some scary blue glowing eyes.
'Hi , little man. {Ohh god this kid is really cold, he's as cold as a corpse , and what's up with this tension I'm feeling.}' Kragg got terrified while holding Akirion. Akirion got in an eye contact with Kragg, and Kragg's shaking body, couldn't resist the tension that it was feeling.
'{ohh damn, who's this kid, I can't feel my body, it's like vibrating and feeling pain at the same time, it feels like my body is going to be tone into shreds.}' Kragg blabbered in the inside and ended up jumping off Akirion's back and collapsed down after having a scary eye contact with Akirion who was angry. His angry face changed his face appearance and it was like another character.
'WHAT!' everyone said at the same time, surprised , as Kragg collapsed as if he didn't have a spine.
When Gideon saw Kragg collapsing without any energy, he feared for his life just like how his body was trembling when Akirion appeared. So he held Thaneiros as a hostage.
' What's going on here?' Haruto surprisedly asked, but he got no response.
' D-d-do-don't come any, any closer because I will, I will kill him for sure.' Gideon stammered in fear while his sword on Thaneiros' neck.
' Let's see you try.' Akirion scarily said and he was certain that Gideon won't make a move.
'{Is that even the Akie I know? He looks different, and his aura, it's terrifying.}' Thaneiros silently said, confused whether it was the person that he knew.
'I I will kill him!' Gideon said.
'I warned you, to GETT AWAYY FROM MY MAASTERRRRRR!!!' Akirion shouted and in an instant, Gideon's head was rolling on the ground, the blood spraying the land. And Akirion was behind Gideon's body and it followed the head , falling down.
'Whe, when did he get there?' Ryder collapsed, his head spinning, feeling dizzy.
'This kid is a monster, ATTAAAACK!!' Haruto commanded his spy soldiers to attack on Akirion.
Akirion put his trust on his sword and applied his swordsman skills into defending himself and his Master. He ran faster than the speed of light and attacked 5 soldiers in a raw at once. The soldiers cried for their lives but only Kragg head them.
Kragg saw the amazing sword fighting on the kid and his energy was refilled. He stood up and defended the other soldiers. He blocked Akirion's attacks. They started to exchange blows, blocking and attacking.
'{Wow, this kid is genuinely strong. His skills are equal to mine? Impossible!}' Kragg applied his martial arts skills and kicked Akirion away. Akirion landed badly on his back and spitted blood.
' Ohhh yeah, my kick is a world class kick, it's very strong, if I get you with one actually hit, it will probably break bones either for a kid or elders. All of them, hahaha.' said Kragg, happy for the strike.
There was a bit of hope in Haruto's eyes, and he was happy, thinking that he will be capturing the kid.
'Don't kill the kid, we need him breathing!' Haruto , happily said.
He casted a fire magic spell.
'I call it FIREARROW.'
