Chapter 4: Battle at Wind Village
The two went back to the village, close to the village, screams were heard.
"What's going on?" Orson and his son run toward the village.
Undead and demons greeted the two, the village was massacred. Flesh turned to walking corpses devouring the inhabitants in it. The villagers fought hard to repel the menace that is Dracula. However, they are no match for the powerful vampire.
A blood soaked body in the distance caught Will's eye. He ran toward it. "Will!" his father exclaimed following closely by the boy's side.
"Scarlet, Scarlet, wake up! Wake up! Please…" sob the young boy. "W…Will… hehe…you're okay…" said Scarlet in a weak tone "Will, it's dangerous here, let's go somewhere safe. Follow me." Orson said as he took the injured girl and ran toward their house in the far corner of the village.
"Good, they haven't reached this place yet."
Orson lays down young Scarlet and quickly went toward their bedroom. "Rachel, where are you?" "I'm here my love, I'm fine." "Thank goodness you're alright. What happened?" questioned Orson not knowing the reason for the demon's attacks.
Rachel shook her head, "I don't know, after you left, demons came and started attacking. They might've known you were away and found the chance to attack us."
"Take care of the children. I'm going to try to drive away Dracula."
"But father… You're hurt!" Will exclaimed worrying about his father's injury. "You can't fight in that state!" The assassin didn't listen to the boy and opened the drawer. He took out his dusty katar. "It's been a long time since I last used this… I never wanted to use it again… But, this is crucial. I must… I'm sorry, Will." Orson rushed outside. Will's mother stopped him from going after the man.
"Father!!!"
"Vfi,vfi,vfi viz iz very vyutivul vindeed. Vay zal make vy vingvom vere. (This is beautiful indeed. I shall make my kingdom here.)"
"Dracula, I'll destroy you."
Dracula turns toward the lone assassin, "Ve? Vyou? Vahahahhhaha…(eh? You? Hhaha…)"
"Kh." Orson started to charge at Dracula.
"Mother… Scarlet… will Scarlet be okay…?" Will sobbed as he asked. His mother hugged him tight. "Will… don't… cry… " Scarlet said as she holds Will's hand.
"Scarlet… sob" "It's been nice… to be your friend… all this time… goodbye… Will…" Scarlet's hold became lax. Her face became pale and all life was removed from her in a moment's time.
"Scarlet!!!" Will cried out tears came down like a fountain.
"You've vought vell, assassin, vut. Vyou zhall not zevit vee (you've fought well, assassin, but. You shall not defeat me)"
The battle has made the wound on the assassin's right hand even worse, he can't move it now. "This is going to be tough… " he thought to himself as he grips the wound.
An angel suddenly appears and created an area of warm light. Orson's wound was healed. "Whose there?!"
A tall man with bright yellow hair approaches the battlefield. He seems to be a traveling priest, experienced and wise. His calm blue eyes gave a divine presence.
"Grant my allies thy divine blade… Aspersio!!"
Orson's blade emits a bright light. "Go, I'll take care of the other abominations." The man said, Orson rushes toward Dracula slashing with his katar. "Dorn, please prevent them from coming closer, I cannot be interrupted."
His companion, a handsome young purple haired crusader with blue eyes and a muscular body covered by heavy armor nodded. The priest became still and recites a prayer. The crusader protected the priest from the abominations, slashing away with his sword and repelling the demons with his huge shield.
"Demon who enters the realm of the living, thou dost not belong here…"
The corpses won't stop coming, one after the other. The young crusader is already being overwhelmed by the number of undead. Those that were destroyed came back up, steel doesn't work.
"Be purified by the light and return from whence you came---"
The priest took out a blue gemstone and it shatters in his hand. The dark clouds opened a pathway for light to shine through. The priest opened his eyes.
"Magnus…………… Exorcismus!!"
