Kazumi Dark Adventures

Chapter 4: The Undead Parish

A sea off flames erupted from the giant red wyvern´s mouth and flooded the entire top of the bridge just a second after Kenio pushed himself and Kazumi back, avoiding being roosted alive. The wyvern positioned itself on the opposite side of the bridge over a stone arc entrance watching and waiting for anyone to dare cross the bridge. Its back was full of red spikes and the tail while thin in the middle had bone spikes protruding from the hardened scales.

"Are you alright lady Kazumi?" He stood up fast and offered her a hand, but she just ignored him and looked at the fire breathing lizard.

"Can´t you use a lightning bolt and destroy its head?" She asked her new companion glaring daggers at the far away beast.

Kenio watched the wyvern and kept silence for a minute or so before shaking his head and speaking with a calm tone "No. Its too far away and the lightning bolts loose efficiency the farther they travel. We will have to run for it to the middle of the bridge and go down those stairs to avoid being burned alive."

"Tch. I will go firssst. I can slither quite quickly and distract it. Then when you see your chance follow me." Without waiting for a response Kazumi slithered at her top speed. The wyvern saw her close in and reacted too late. Its fire breath filled the bridge after Kazumi was safely down the stairs. She waited a minute before peeking at the fire lizard. It had lost interest in her, fiery sulfuric eyes like hers fixed on the entrance of the bridge rather than the middle.

"Perrrrfect" Kazumi purred as she slithered under the stone arc and avoided the wyvern´s bite when it noticed her. Again, the wyvern lost all the interest in her and even dropped onto the bridge giving its back to her with its spiky tail laying on the ground in front of her.

"Hehe. One big dissstraction coming up" She said in a cheerful sadistic tone as she raised the black knight sword.

Kenio watched warily as the red wyvern jumped down onto the bridge and stayed still, watching him. Daring him to try to cross like Kazumi. But that didn´t last. Suddenly the beast roared in pain and jumped into the air waving its massive wings to escape. He didn´t hesitate and ran to the other side of the bridge while the wyvern was far up in the air and too immersed in the pain to notice him. Once he reached Kazumi´s position he left out a breath he didn´t know was holding.

"Wow. That was a rush." He recomposed himself and straightened up.

"Yeah. Fun isn´t it." The sadistic redhead chuckled darkly, making the poor ginger laugh nervously. "Now… I guesss that thing over there isss the altar?" She pointed at a small terrace with the ruins of a statue bathed by a ray of sun light.

"It is. Come, let me show you" His nervousness disappeared in a blink. Kenio´s smile was so pure and sincere that she had to reign herself and avoid vomiting. Kazumi followed him to the statue and sat over her own tail. She listened to his explanation about how praying to the altars could provide her with powerful miracles, the importance of a talisman to channel the miracle correctly and the faith needed to perform those miracles.

Kenio performed two in front of her and told her the necessary chant for it to work. The first one was a Great Healing miracle, capable of erasing the damage received in combat and even purge lesser poisons. The second was an offensive one. The mighty lightning bolt she saw him perform. It was an impressive sight seeing it up close and even more impressive when a rock wall was pierced like it was nothing. He even provided her a spare talisman he had.

Once the lesson was over, he remained there looking at the sun with a far away look on his eyes. "I will remain here for a while. I need to find my own sun and that is a journey I must do on my own. I´m sure our paths will cross again Lady Kazumi. I wish you the best of luck and please do not turn hollow." He gave her another of his sugar coated smiles before he started to praise the sun in a Y position.

Kazumi simply backed away in silence and slithered up to the entrance of the church. It was plagued by hollows and even a giant boar covered in armor that tried to run her over. Unfortunately for the animal, it wasn't big enough to escape the lamia´s lethal grips, ending in a mangled mess of flesh and metal.

The hollows where simple enough to deal with just like the ones in the burg bellow. It was the tall Berenite centurion, a hulking soldier with thick armor and a tower shield and a mace, in the middle of the chapel and the Balder Knights, armored zombies with red torn cloaks, hidden in the corners of the chapel, that were trouble. It was 5 against her alone and one was almost as though as the black knight and as tall as her. The Balder knights were fast and aggressive with longswords and rapiers. Kazumi had to resort to her infamous hit and run tactic to avoid being overwhelmed by the rabid hollows. She took care of the Balder knights one by one with her new lightning bolts after slithering far away and throwing it at them on point blank.

"Good thing you are all brainlesssss." Kazumi though as she repeated the process until it was only the Berenite knight. It was bulkier and surely stronger than her, but its attacks were slow and predictable. Her swords found their mark after avoiding the deadly mace several time until they manage to decapitate the hollow, its corpse turning into ash.

"So… you are going to become a hero someday?" A soft voice asked in her head making her freeze on the spot. Her hands started to tremble, letting the swords fall to the ground, and it was difficult for her to breath. That voice was familiar yet she couldn´t recall how the face looked. A choked gasp escaped from her mouth and all her body was shaking in fear once she realized that she had forgotten the face and name of her light.

"Are you going to save people just like Deku does?" The voice asked again but this time it was getting farther away from her.

"Why… why can´t I remember his face? N-no. Not him… pleassse… anyone but him." Her voice broke, tears threatened to fall, and her hands covered her mouth to avoid screaming. She felt ill and empty. Like the purpose of her life was snatched away from her. Kazumi didn´t know how long she stood there but she couldn´t care less. She cried in silence for a while oblivious to the world around her.

After pulling herself back her eyes where no longer sulfuric yellow, they were crimson red, her mouth curved into a murderous snarl "No. No, I refussse to forget him. I will find a way to remember. Even if I have to tear this place apart ssstone by sssstone." As if she had become rage incarnated, she climbed the stairs of the Undead church running over more pitiful undead soldiers like a tank over some rats. At the end of the stairs she found herself over the rooftop of the chapel and on the other end the entrance of the bell tower. She slithered to it without hesitation. Not even acknowledging the new obstacles that had dropped in her path from the tower.

The two gargoyles in front of her could have looked intimidating, one with an axe like tail and armor while the other lacked tail but could breathe fire and shred flesh with its merciless claws, but Kazumi spat on the ground with disgust and took off her cloak and belt. She grew into her 14 foot form and gripped her tail around the fire breathing gargoyle´s neck without giving it any time to react. The other stone beast charged at her with a halberd but pissed off Kazumi was in no mood to play with the monster. She simply stopped the attack grabbing the pole of the weapon with her right hand and ripped it out of its stony claws. Less than two seconds later she used it to pierce the nape of the stone creature making both the weapon and the head shatter in pieces. Then… she crushed the other beast trapped by her tail applying and unholy amount of pressure.

Still pissed off but much calmer than before, Kazumi retrieved her scarce equipment and cloak from the ground and climbed the stairs of the bell tower.

To be continue…
