Forest Mansion Battle with an Elf Coach!
"Okay, we should be approaching to the area where the woman said she last saw the demon." Echidna informed as she and the others are walking together through forest.
"I hope these demons won't be too much trouble, we still have the Queen's Blade Tournament to get ready for." Leina worried, she needs to get some training done in case there's any other female warriors who wants to challenge her for the Queen's Blade.
"Try not to worry so much, we still have plenty of time for the main event of the tournament starts." Nanael reassured. She double checked on the schedule and they got some time before they can go to the Capital.
"She's right, think of this as fighting demons are part of the training to improve yourself in strength so you can be ready to the other warriors." Scar stated.
"He has a point there, sometimes real fights against the odds that you might die is the best training." Risty said, speaking of experience.
"I'm not sure if almost dying is a good thing for training." Leina sweatdropped.
"Look, the important thing is we can live through the toughest and brutal times then that proves you got what it takes." Risty stated.
"She makes an actually point, while growing up as an assassin I almost died a few times when facing against some older men. They nearly had me in cold blood, but I manage to come out alive." Echidna mentioned a little about her past.
"Somehow, I believe you…" Leina creeped out a little.
Unknown to the group, they are being watch from afar as they are view from inside a crystal ball as the one watching them is Menace sitting on top of an old abandoned mansion that is covered in grass and other things that have been growing there. It's a full moon tonight and it's white beautiful light shines down to the Desert Princess.
"Good, Scar is taking the bait." Menace smiled sinisterly.
"Your plan is working perfectly, now we'll see if this human really is all that fierce when it comes to demons." Setra excited.
"Yes, Airi and Melona were making such a big deal about a single human male, to me he's nothing more than another fool who will obey me as a new slave." Menace stated.
"Yes, my beautiful hottie of the sand, that man certainly got the body to give you more than you can imagine along with that huge sword." Setra pointed out some other bonus for this.
"Yes, such raw strength will be wasted if he's using it for me. By the way, how are those humans we kidnapped doing?" Menace asked.
"Still alive, Princess Menace, the demons are getting reckless to eat them that they can't wait any longer." Setra reported.
"I see, demons these days can be such barbaric creatures, but they will soon have their fest once he and his party come." Menace said, though she hopes the demon won't kill them much because she wants fresh slaves with a beating heart.
"And the best part is that you're going to have even more slaves to do you biding, like that little warrior we captured earlier." Setra reminded his princess of one warrior they managed to capture before.
"Aw yes, that little elf warrior. I almost forgotten about her, and I'm pretty sure that other elf will come to "rescue" her, but she'll be in for a big surprise." Menace chuckled.
"Yes, having more slaves will be splendid, especially that Scar boy. Oh, just thinking about him makes my body feel all hot inside!" Menace moaned as she gropes her own breast with one hand and rubbing her pussy with the other.
"Ooooh, calm yourself my lady, you'll get your slaves soon!" Setra smiled erotically while blushing as he is so close to Menace's pussy, wanting to beg his princess to rub him there.
(Back with Scar's Group)
"According to the woman, she and her family were walking around here wanting to get to the town quickly, but it was already getting dark and stumble upon an abandon mansion. As soon as they all stepped inside the demons suddenly appeared taking the family and kicking the woman out." Echidna explained the mission to Scar since he wasn't with them when they girls met the woman.
"Those monsters, why would they do such a thing?" Leina asked angry.
"That's how most demons behave, they just take and kill everything in their sight for just the amusement of destruction." Nanael said, also feeling toward the demons.
"But it's odd, something doesn't feel right." Scar mentioned confusing everyone.
"What'd you mean?" Echidna asked.
"Don't you think it's odd that those demons didn't killed the family right then and there instead of just capturing them and letting that woman go?" Scar asked, having a gut feeling that there's more to this than meets the eye.
"You know, you might be on to something there." Risty started to see the picture here.
Scar narrow his eyes to the right feeling his instinct telling him that they are being watch being something or perhaps someone hiding among the trees, he took out his crossbow to fire an arrow where he believes the shadow figure is forcing it out of hiding jumping off the branch.
"Well done, you detected my presence sooner than I expected and arrow the fire though not directly to kill me because you sense I'm no threat, that gives you 80 points." A woman said making herself known to the group.
The woman appears to be an elf with the pointy ears, long platinum blonde hair that goes down to the back of the waist, and blue eyes. She wears a red beret with the lower part having four leaf clover patterns. She wears an elegant red and gold cloak, and underneath that she has a short green elven shirt and sleeves with bracers with darker green ends. On her lower body she has a short green elven skirt with a small white cloth and a belt with four leaf clovers and a four leaf, Celtic-designed clover buckle. On her legs she wears green thigh-high elven boots. She carries a staff that head pointy stones on each end. D-cup.
"I learned to always be aware of the danger around me, no matter how peaceful or plain things get, there's always darkness lurking in the background and if you're not careful then you're dead." Scar explained.
"Also, I miss on purpose because I didn't feel anything threating about you even though you're a strong warrior yourself." Scar added.
"I see, you knew that I could've killed one of you before the other, believed I wouldn't. That's 85 points." The elf woman nodded.
"Wow, an elf! I never met one in person, I'm Leina Vance, by the way." Leina introduced herself.
"Name's Risty, the Benevolent Bandit." Risty smirked.
"If you can already tell I'm an Angel, the Great Nanael!" Nanael posed.
"Echidna, please to meet you." Echidna greeted.
"And I'm Scar." Scar introduced himself as the last person.
"My name is Alleyne. I would like to say it's good to meet you all, but I'm afraid that there is no time for that." Alleyne stated as she herself is in a hurry.
"Are you to kill some demons too?" Scar asked.
"Demons?" Alleyne confused of the question.
"We're going to an old abandon mansion to rescue a family the woman who told us about it said that a pack of demons took them." Leina explained.
"I see then that mansion might be where my student is." Alleyne mentioned as she looks at the direction where the group are heading to.
"Student, someone was taken by demons too?" Scar asked with an angry tone.
"Yes, her name is Nowa and she's the best student I had the honor of training. Just a few days ago, a woman with black magic took her away, I've been following some clues on the whereabout of Nowa which I believe is at the mansion where the captive family is." Alleyne explained her reason.
"I see, I thought it was strange that an elf like yourself are out here in these scary woods." Scar stated.
"If you're suggesting that I'm scared of these parts then you get 20 points." Alleyne said, with a hint of anger.
"(What's with her giving points?)" Leina and Risty thought.
"It would seem our goals follow the same path, maybe we can team up for tonight to help get the people we came for together." Echidna suggested, thinking this would go better forming a temporary alliance with the elf fighter.
"Hmm, that does seem logically since we don't know how many demons there are, and our goal does appear to be the same even though were complete strangers to each other." Alleyne thought about this for a few second then gave her answer.
"Very well, the idea seems suitable for a situation like this. That's 60 points." Alleyne agreed to join forces with the group.
"60 points, that seems almost to half." Nanael commented.
"That because despite having similar goals, I still don't fully trust all of you. Especially you, Scar." Alleyne pointed her staff at him.
"I can smell blood on you, lots and lots of it. Both human and demon blood, like a being bringing death wherever he goes." Alleyne stated with a scary glare that send shivers down Nanael's spine.
"You're not that far off, I've killed plenty of demons and dumbass humans, but they're all nothing because there is only one man I want to kill. He's the whole reason that my life has been shit load of shits, and I won't die until he's dead by my hand." Scar declared as he holds his sword out with the top part pass her head, countering his own scary glare and starts giving off a strange demonic-like aura that frighten the Master Fighter elf. And the others, even Echidna.
The demonic aura quickly vanished, and Scar walk pass the elf woman while holding his sword over his shoulder.
"Come on, we got people to save and demons slay." Scar said as he goes on ahead.
"(I… I froze, it was only for a moment, but I was frozen in fear. Just… what did this boy go through?)" Alleyne thought asked herself while almost sweating.
(Later)
The group and Alleyne arrived at the abandon, just standing outside they can already tell the demons are waiting for them inside for an ambush them for the kill probably along with the family and Nowa trapped in there too.
"We need to be careful, we don't know what kind of game the demons will be playing to kill their prey." Alleyne advised.
"Maybe they let the woman go to lure us here." Echidna guessed.
"The only game I'm interested in is killing all the demons here and getting a good night sleep afterward." Scar said walking to the large front door.
"Oh, then you wouldn't mind letting me sleep with you since we had our first time together." Echidna said in a sexually, making Scar faintly blush.
"Huh, what do you mean first time?" Leina asked, feeling jealous for some reason. Same goes for Risty.
Scar didn't for he just kick the door away about five to ten, he walks in first then the others follow him not seeing anything so far, but they kept up their guard because of the feeling of being watch from the shadows.
Then suddenly a figure jumps off a large statue and spins a staff-like weapon around before swinging it down going for Scar first, but the red-haired young man reacted on instinct moving his sword up to block the attack and push it away then took out his crossbow some firing arrows at the attacker but they got deflected.
The attack lands in the spot where the moonlight is shining that reveals who the attacker is.
"Huh, Nowa… is that you?" Alleyne gasped as the other became shock.
"So, that's your little prodigy." Scar said.
Nowa is a short girl with long brown hair that are tied in ponytails with a pair of leaf-like green accessories and a neck choker. he wears an orange outfit with white cloth that covers her breasts and a skirt. Breasts sizes: B-cup.
"Yes, that's her no doubt but… there's something wrong with her." Alleyne said.
"Maybe it's her eyes, they look down… life-like." Echidna pointed at the elf girl's eyes. As she said, they're lifeless and she's just standing there like a statue.
"It must be some mind-controlling magic." Nanael guessed.
"Look, up there!" Leina pointed.
They look to where Leina is pointing at the top of the staircase and they see an unconscious man with three kids, must be the family they came here for. And right on cue, demons started coming out of their hiding place.
"Wow, this is some party." Echidna joked.
"You don't appear to be worry or serious, it's almost you think of this as a joke. 20 points." Alleyne disapproved of Echidna's tone.
"Look, it's that human boy with the Brand of Sacrifice." One demon pointed at Scar.
"I want that human, he looks tasty." Another demon licked his lips.
"Brand of Sacrifice?" Alleyne confused of what the demons are talking about.
"Scar has a brand on his neck that draws in demons like a moth to a flame, he got it when he was a little kid though he didn't tell us how exactly. I figured it was the cause of a powerful demon." Nanael explained.
This made Alleyne realize the hardship Scar has been through to become the vicious warrior he is today, being forced to live a living Hell throughout his life and surviving numerous demon attacks while searching for the one who put him there in the first place. She feels both sad and angry that such a cruel fate has been cast upon on one such as him.
(Music-Inside the Fire: Disturbed)
"Alright, you girls make sure the families are okay and get them out of here. I'll deal with the demons and the Elf coach can take care of that little one." Scar laid out the plan as he prepares himself.
"If any demons get in your way, kill them." Scar added before charging at the demons as he slashes them dead.
"Well, you heard the man, let's go!" Echidna charged toward the stairs.
Three demons try to get in her way, but the assassin woman impale one to the head and jump over the other two while throw two daggers to each piercing through one eye, they scream in pain which was a distraction for Leina and Risty to kill them with a slash on one and smashing the head on the other.
Nanael sending her flying sword at the demons cutting them into pieces as she flies around make sure the demon doesn't try to get her, but one manages to grab her leg to pull her down then got hit by four arrows in the throat forcing it to let go and fall. Nanael looks down to see Scar holding his crossbow looking at the Angel for a second before going back to fighting the other demons.
Meanwhile, Alleyne square off against Nowa as their staff clashes against each other as the younger girl is a great fighter because she was trained by Alleyne herself. Of course, she can hold her own against the older elf fighter.
"Nowa, I'm sorry I couldn't come to save you soon, but I promise I'm here now to set you free!" Alleyne declared as she starts fighting a bit more serious pushing back the elf girl.
The mind-controlled Nowa tried to fight back as hard as she could, using the fighting experience of 1,000 years Alleyne manages to knock Nowa's staff away and slam one end of her staff on the little girl's head hard knocking her cold out as her face hit the floor.
"I hope you'll be alright when you wake up." Alleyne worried, then a demon with sharp fangs pounce toward her.
Alleyne saw this, trying to swing her staff but the demon was too close to counter, and then blood splitter on the floor. However, the blood is not Alleyne nor Nowa, it was Scar with almost his whole right arm into the demon's closed mouth as the fangs piercing it.
"Scar…" Alleyne shocked of his sudden action.
"My master told me this, "No matter how many beat downs you get some either thugs or powerful demons, even with the stack against you, even when you're about to die never stop fighting until your enemies are dead", and I won't die until I see my goal through!" Scar shouted.
Inside the demon's mouth, using the pointy tip of the metal gauntlet Scar's hand rips the demons tongue off forcing to open it to scream in pain.
"Don't worry, I left some little snacks for you to enjoy. They're to "die" for." Scar smirked. He also drops three little bombs down the throat while his arm being chewed on as they are lit.
The bombs went off making a big explosion from the inside, burning and destroying the demon as it screams in pain before it stops moving completely. Guess one of the keys of defeating a demon came from within itself, literally.
"Scar… a black warrior with the fierce spirit of a demon killing other demons. That's quite ironic, I'll give him 90 points." Alleyne commented.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
The battle has only just begun for our female warriors and young Black Knight for the demons they are fighting are nothing for what comes after them, Menace wanted to test how strong Scar is and she's getting it though I don't think she'll be getting some new slaves anytime soon. And it seems Scar has started to earn Alleyne's respect, and maybe her heart as well.
