FALLEN
CHAPTER 10
Jumping back and forth with the last bit of my strength, I dodged the attacking monsters. I stepped on a few of the smaller white fur balls and glanced over my shoulder. My comrades were doing fairly well by themselves, dodging the assault of the beasts and weaving their way to me.
"WATCH OUT! THE BAINS ARE ATTACKING!!" Frey shouted.
I looked to where she was pointing, and sure enough, there they were. Humongous beasts of fire, like dogs, their fur coating them like a shield. Not many mana-less prodigal assassins survived beasts like these.
I fell to the ground in the face of the Bains, their red glare burning me through the soul. One raised a paw and slammed it into the ground and a crack in the Earth approached me. I braced for impact and put my arms across me, in front of my face.
The flying stones hit me like a hundred shuriken; the blast sent me flying a couple of meters back and left blood spilling on the ground.
Crushed under the mightiness and the power of the Bains, I let myself fall down. My vision was hazed, but I knew that the Bains were approaching, and so were the other, punier monsters.
I was grabbed from behind by Felix and was dragged away to a house for shelter. It was quite obvious that it was not going to last too long.
The Bains came crashing through the walls severely injuring Felix and Kenneth. I flicked a couple of Ilbis over to the Bains, not injuring, but distracting them enough so that I was able to bring Felix, Kenneth, and Frey over safely to a close shop.
"Stay in here, I will distract them." I said to them firmly.
"But …" Frey started to argue.
"No buts! I don't want to see … any of you getting hurt. They are most likely after me, I do not know why, but I am sure of it." I cut her off sternly.
"…" Frey looked down glumly and then went to Felix and Kenneth, "don't die … please …"
"I won't, I promise you that." I quickly said and left.
I jumped over the smaller beasts to confront the Bains, whatever bit of strength I have left; it wouldn't be enough to kill them. But, I will try.
The Bains roared when they saw me, as if gladdened by having a person to kill. Its scratch was powerful and knocked me to the wall, hard.
"GAH!" I shouted a cry of pain, the attack left a gash on my stomach. Blood dripped down my stomach and into the ground. The searing pain in my stomach forced me to stay down.
"Ughhhh … "I groaned in pain. The Bains were coming closer, until a roar scattered them away in panic.
"The powerful Bains were so easily scared by that roar, what on Earth could it be?" I silently asked myself, fearing the new beast coming closer.
Running towards me was a figure of a man, holding an Omega Spear in his hand. I was relieved, for I thought that Redemption and safety might at last await me.
I was gravely mistaken, the man's eyes were red with corruption and evil, and his Omega Spear was glowing a sickening red light that seemed to penetrate all defenses.
"Fear not, I will not kill you, our master still has much in plan for you." The figure said.
"And your master is Miriam of course …" I said, "but who are you?"
"I am the one they call Gerardus, and I am the right hand man of Master Miriam. And, though I will not kill you, I will still devour a piece of your soul, to ensure my survival should we at time fight."
"What?" my eyes flickered wide open and my jaw dropped, Gerardus approached quickly with his hand outstretched.
I felt my strength weaken as what seemed like my soul was flying out from my body and into his palm. A sign of a lotus appeared on my palm, and pain seared through my body. My last sight was of Gerardus striking my stomach with his Omega Spear, my blood covering my eyes as I fell onto ground, and Gerardus saying, "you can not kill me."
All of my memories splashed in my head uncontrollably, and I fell into a dark state, almost falling into the hole of death, but missing it barely by inches.
