Somewhere in the plains, Battle of the 2nd wave, Doom slayer's POV
Strange, the argent energy from that kid disappeared. Both he and the shield looked ordinary now.
Strange…
He looked up at me with anger and stared into my visor. Most demons would have looks of fear before being ripped and torn. However, I could sense regret coming from his eyes as well.
Oh well, it seems that the energy is mostly gone so I guess I won't kill him yet, but I'll keep an eye on him to see what's going on.
Suddenly, the kid spoke out.
" Well, are you going to kill me or not?!"
The kid yelled at me with intense glares. I shook my head and pointed at his shield.
The kid looked confused as I heard a loud thunderous noise and looked around. The crack in the sky was closing up. The sky didn't look demonic either. The last of the demons were being killed by people in strange clothing I didn't notice before.
Are demonic invasions only temporary in this world? Anyway, let's focus on the kid.
I held my hand up to the kid. He looked hesitant but wearily look it. I hoisted him up and took a good look at him. His eyes always seemed to be in a squinting position but always alert. His eyes and hair were both black and had a normal face, unlike during his possession with demonic energy pouring out of his eyes.
"Why did you attack us only to pick me up? Are you with that Glass person?"
That's because your not a demon anymore
I pointed at his eyes and shield, then at myself pummeling my fists together. The kid burrowed his eyes together and looked deep in thought.
""Get away from master!""
The weird bird thing before came at me in the sky at an alarming speed. On its back was a woman with little ears shaped like a cat.
" Wai.."
The woman jumped off the bird's back and attacked me from behind while the bird kept accelerating.
Fast…. About the speed of a charging Pinky...
I dug my feet into the ground as I pretended to side step but shifted to the right, surprising it as I blocked an incoming sword with my right hand, sparks flying out of steel against steel. The hero watched with a slightly surprised look before regaining his senses.
" Stop! It's OK! The fight's over!"
The kid shouted at the strange creatures, halting the attacks. They looked at the kid with confused expressions on their faces.
" But master…"
"I'm sure this is all just some sort of misunderstanding because if he wanted me dead, he would've killed me with the gun."
"What's a gun?"
"It's… complicated, I'll explain back at the kingdom."
Kingdom? What's a gun? How behind are they? Not that I can say anything.
" Putting that aside, who are you?"
"They call me, the Doom Slayer."
I managed to get the words out of my mouth despite not using my vocal cords for a long time.
"Ok… "
The woman and bird looked surprised at both my name and my voice.
" There you guys are! The king demands.."
Huh?
I look towards the right and see another kid like the guy I just fought except shorter and that he was holding a sword instead of a shield. Somehow, his tone reminded me of that robot bastard, always thinking that he was always right. I held back my anger and glared at the kid.
"I .. I.. I mean the.. the king w.. wishes for b.. b both of yo.. your pres.. presence at the.. the kingdom."
He managed to spit out those words before hurrying back to a group of people, muttering and whispering.
What… Oh yeah, it's probably because I'm covered in blood
The shield hero sighed and supported his weight on the bird.
" Let's get you cleaned up."
He pointed to a pond and proceeded to wash his clothes and sword.
Oh well… I guess I'll wash myself…
I went into the lake and submerged myself, washing away the blood. I walked out of the lake and noticed several dead fish floating on the surface.
Whoops
The kid and the woman both got on the bird and looked at me, expecting me to get on as well.
Are you kidding me?
I shook my head no as the riders looked surprised at my proposal.
"You.. go first…"
"Oh… Ok…"
They looked doubtful at my declaration but shakily accepted it. The bird rushed on into the distance, it's speed steadily increasing. I stretched my legs as I began to sprint after it, a trail of dust spiraling behind me.
Finally done! Sorry for the filler but I can promise(probably) that there will be ripping and tearing next chapter. (at the very least you can see the reaction with the king and trash right?). Constructive criticism is welcomed.
