The Soul in the Dark
Chapter XII
Gripping the hilt tight he rushed forward towards Orlock with such speed it left a trail behind him, his rage and anger fuelling his adrenalin and the power of his Spirit Surge, he knew the effect wouldn't last long, so this would be his one and only chance to kill this tyrant.
"Your pitiful abilities are useless, nothing can pierce my armour" Orlock boasted watching the charging dragoon, so full his armour would hold out against the cold steel blade of the katana.
"Just watch me Orlock" he swung his blade upwards against the thick shell like breastplate with such force it didn't just scratch the armour, but sends him up high into the air. Tyh grins and looks up, bending at the knees and jumping high just in front of Orlock, slashing away more at the stunned body of his enemy, his sword slowly penetrating the armour, and finished up his combo with a downward stab into the plated armour, it going deeper as they crashed to the floor causing a huge crater in the ground as they land, dust and concrete flying into the air from the huge impact.
"Nice try dragoon…." Orlock laughed "It will take more to get past this armour"
"Will it?" Tyh Pulled out the Katana and a loud snap was heard, and cracks started appearing in the thick armour "Seems like you was wrong once again Orlock" He jumped back letting Orlock get to his feet, watching his armour slowly crumble to the floor.
"Now Orlock…This is your end…" Tyh started to walk over to the weakened Orlock who had fallen to his knees, Tyh brought his blade up to the side of Orlock's neck" For those lives you have taken, I shall repay…" He then brought the blade up past his shoulder "I will do what my father should have done five years ago…end your pitiful life, without remorse, honour, or regret" his blade started to glow black as he swung it down, cutting through his neck with ease and power like a hot knife through butter, decapitating the tyrant.
Tyh groaned in pain clutching his chest 'Damnit, Spirit Surge must be wearing off' he thought to himself. Indeed Spirit Surge increased his power and speed, but in exchange it drains a lot of energy after. 'I never knew it took this much out of the user' he fell to a knee but stood up, coughing from lack of energy, the surrounding area turning back from an old Dynamis looking area to the original Necropolis surrounding, it taking a moment to sink in.
"DeMondé!" He Rushed down multiple corridors and crossed many walkways before coming across the many prison cells which held many slaves, Elvaan, Mithra, Hume, all female, almost half dead, he couldn't see any way to open the cells until he noticed a set of keys hanging underneath a lit torch and one by one he started to free the slaves taking a moment to get the right key for the right cell.
It had been a while, he had unlocked every cell he even double checked, but he couldn't find DeMondé or his sister.
"Was he lying, did he really spare my sister and DeMondé?" He slumped down into a corner of the room, taking off his Armet, placing it at his side to run a hand through his hair in exasperation "DAMNIT!" he cursed his exasperation now turning into frustration. He stood up and started to pace the corridors "where could they be?" he questioned, would they even recognise him, his looks had changed since his first encounter with Orlock and his old Dark Knight times.
"Tyh?" a soft voice called his name; a voice he hadn't heard in what seemed an eternity "Looking for someone, Brother?"
Tyh's frustration lifted, a small smile coming to his face as he turned around to be greeted by the sight of his twin sister, her face dirty from soot but still smiling as she saw her brother standing before her, and without hesitation ran into her brothers open arms
"Oh My…Carla…It's so good to see you again…" he held her tight, his purple armour now hiding her in his arms "I've missed you so much sis…" he lifted his head to kiss hers softly "Are you ok?"
She shrugged but still smiled, just pleased to be back safe with her brother "As ok as I can be" she looked up to him, he had grown a lot in five years, he was now the taller of the two "How about you?" she asked
"Eh, felt like hell the past five years but hey, things are looking better now" he chuckled looking down, he suddenly felt something wrap around his ankle, he looked down to find a brown tail wrapped around his leg which was connected to the body of the Mithran girl he has been sacrificing his own life for. "Heh, my favourite Mithra" he grinned moving an arm to wrap around her waist.
"Well, after Orrrlock locked me up, he threw me in with your sister, but at the time I didn't know…she was a great help, we was there for each other"
Tyh nodded "So you have been looking after my baby sis eh?" Tyh then smiled "I think its about time we got out of here huh?" he looked to both of the women who nodded contently, he proceeded to pull out not one, but three Instant warp scrolls and handed one to each of the girls.
They all chanted the spell written on the scroll in total unionisation before being engulfed in black and purple, landing outside the moghouse in Windurst Waters.
