Chapter 1-27
Wild Animal.
The bandit, still with the momentum of his arm by the recent attack, tries to stab Kenai with his other dagger in.
However, Kenai rolls away with ease from the bandit, even managing to sneak an arrow during the roll, the bandit however managed to toss his dagger towards Kenai, bouncing off her arrow and his dagger to the side, he then immediately rushed her while she was preparing her next arrow.
Kenai: (Knee exposed; Elbow possibly blocking left view; Force him away of his weapons; Dodge the immediate dagger followed by kick.)
As soon as she releases her arrow, the bandit manages to move himself around the arrow, but not before another was shot, causing him to move towards his left further and further, till he eventually found himself standing a meter away from Kenai, where seizing the chance, he threw his dagger directly at her.
Kenai although was expecting this, and as thought, she skillfully jumps towards her left, where she immediately saw the feet of the man trying to strike her right in her chest, she didn’t fear as she simply move her body slightly to the right, where he briefly lost track of her, as such, she took her chance to stab an arrow directly into his knee, striking directly into the bandit, this one however managed to grab her hand before staring directly into her eyes.
Kenai: (Targets neutralized.)
Slowly the man felled backwards without moving an inch, which caused him to fall off the building into the street, where Kenai jumped on top of him, landing safely before directing herself to the 4th bandit, who continued to speak even now.
Bandit 4: W-what have you done to me you damned woman?!
Kenai: Paralyzing arrows, they work perfect to immobilize a target without killing them, your dose was slightly less.
Now that I answered your question, answer mine:
Who is your leader?
The bandit spits in Kenai’s direction without saying much of anything, wipes the bandit’s drool from his face and begins to search through the bandit’s clothes, being able to see first hand the explosives they made.
Bandit 4: You will die like the rest of them-
At that moment the edge of a dagger is pointed at the bandit’s face.
Kenai: I don’t have time for this, tell me before I run out of patience.
The bandit smiles excitedly in response.
Bandit 4: You have the same empty eyes as her.
At that moment Kenai begins to slowly embed the dagger in the man’s neck, only allowing a slight cut to be made while allowing him to breath.
Bandit 4: This is nothing!
NOTHING COMPARED TO YOUR KIND.
The Bandit immediately thrusts himself into the dagger before manually igniting the explosives, Kenai notices that she wont have enough time to move out of the way.
Man: GET DOWN!
Out of nowhere, Kenai feels someone stepping right in front of her, when she sees the bright light from before.
BOOM
Both her and the figure in front fly towards the opposite direction for a bit before landing on their backs against the floor.
When she manages to open her eyes, she shakes her head little bit while observing the figure in front of her, the figure was wearing heavily plated armor, a very rare sight considering that the armor was very noticeable, wearing a shield symbol on its back; It was the symbol of a knight of the king.
When she was able to get up, she immediately saw the hand of the figure in front of her.
Man: Are you okay? I tried to mitigate the blast as much as possible.
His face was almost impossible to see, it was covered in this thick metallic and almost rusty helmet that only allowed his eyes to be seen, these were sky blue, which shine in comparison to the rest of the night scene.
She accepted his hand and got up, before she noticed her wounds around her entire body while the guard only could stare at everything happening.
Man: This…what’s happening?
Kenai: A raid, they attacked while everyone was sleeping…
(Who is this person? He doesn’t look like someone hostile, and his armor…)
After seeing the remains of the bandit, Kenai grabs her bow and arrows and starts to load one of them.
Man: Lady, what’s going on-
Kenai: Prepare yourself soldier, we are not alone.
From there a group of bandits in the distance begin to jump from the farthest homes towards the street, where one of them points towards Kenai, at that moment an arrow is shot, but the figure manages to catch it in time to hit him.
Kenai (They caught it?!)
At that moment the rest of the bandits start running in their direction while the strange individual stood there in the distance.
They both get ready, but in a single second, when the bandits reach an intersection in the streets, all of them become motionless before the their heads get immediately disconnected from their bodies and fly into the air, an abnormal amount of blood starts to flow out of their bodies as each and every one of them falls to the ground decapitated.
From stands still in the middle of the bodies, his posture resembles that of a wild animal, in all four’s, but he slowly starts to stand up in his two feet’s, although it didn’t took long for Kenai to immediately recognize the creature.
Kenai: (What the…Alex?)
When was the last time I’ve felt this? The soothing adrenaline enter my bloodstream; The never-ending flowing rivers of red; I had missed this for too damn much.
Alex seems to look in the direction of the figure of the distance, who immediately starts to run away, jumping quick quickly through the tress.
You stole my joy of killing them all; Someone has to pay the price.
Alex starts laughing maniacally as he makes a leap in the direction of where the bandit ran off to. shattering the ground behind them as they started to run on all of their limbs.
Kenai: That…can’t possibly be my brother…
(That didn’t sound like the Alex I know..)
Man: I-I don’t understand anything that’s happening right now, but….
The soldier rests his hand on Kenai, though he still looks shaken.
Man: I-I’ll do my best to help you and your people.
Kenai: (I don’t know where this soldier came from, but…)
Considering the amount of bandits here, nobody else is going to be alive, so for now we’ll follow the orange-haired individual.
Soldier: M-miss, what’s your name?
Kenai: Adventurer rank Silver, Kenai. What’s yours?
Hilbert: Infantry Soldier Hilbert.
Kenai: Thank you Hilbert for before.
Hilbert: N-no need, this is why I’m a soldier after all…
Kenai immediately started to run. The soldier tries to follow her but he can’t at the same speed due to the weight of his armor, even so Kenai continues running while this one follows her only short behind.
