Chapter 9 Avareus (part 2 )
Nothing to say today. Just I hope you like the new chapter
Astral went down the sewers and immediately afterwards began to look for some clues that would help him find the place where Avareus hid himself . Shortly thereafter Jenny and the other warrior dogs also came down into the sewers . Jenny feared that Avareus's thugs would ambush him.
Jenny: come on guys. Are your torches and your weapons ready?
Drake: I'm ready
Cat and Kaiser: us too
After almost ten minutes the purifier couldn't find anything , only dirt and a terrible smell , and more went on and the way became increasingly dark.
Astral's mind: damn. There's a terrible smell in here, I can hardly breathe
At that moment he heard voices in the shadows. It didn't take long time to realize that those were the thieves sent by Avareus . Because of the darkness, however, Astral found it difficult to see them and it was only a matter of seconds and could find himself with the blade of a knife in his throat .
Thief: you're mine!
Fortunately, Jenny reached Astral shortly before thieves could attack. She lit a torch and pointed it at the thief's face. There is only one thing that the thieves of Avareus fear, the light.
The thieves escaped in terror and Astral was still alive.
Astral: I felt I was clear that I don't want to be helped
Jenny: if it was not for me they would have killed you . Do you understand that you are the only one who can defeat the demons of destruction ?!
Astral: Well ... thank you
Jenny: so. Do you accept our help?
For once Astral agreed and accepted the help of Jenny and the other warrior dogs.
Astral: okay. I will give you the opportunity to help me
Jenny: perfect. ah, and I think you need this to keep Avareus's thugs away from you ... and maybe get your bearings better in the sewers . However we find there in the central pit is not very far from you
The purifier lit the torch and began to orient himself to the meeting place, while he was walking in the sewers he thought:
Astral's mind: maybe after all, the warrior dogs only wanted to help me in my mission. I should take advantage of it more often.
Meanwhile with Avareus ...
The demon of greed noticed that the purifier was approaching the lair and this made him very nervous . But he had someone who would surely take care of him.
Avareus: I will not allow him to take my treasure. Guardian, take care of the purifier
Guardian: I will defeat him
Avareus: I don't want you to defeat him. I want you to destroy him
Guardian: it will be done
The guardian took his stud and headed for the pit . Meanwhile Avareus took a handful of gold coins.
Avareus: it's just a matter of time. Soon I will have all the gold in this city and when it is finished we will move elsewhere, until we get all the gold of the world
Meanwhile Astral reached the grave . He descended a long flight of steps and when he found himself almost at the end he felt the floor tremble and he heard footsteps that became very strong each time. the guardian appeared from a tunnel ready to collide with the purifier.
Astral: who are you ?!
Guardian: I am the guardian. I was sent here to keep you from reaching my lord
Astral drew his sword ready to fight
Astral: I will eliminate everyone who hinders me !
The guardian tried to hit Astral with the weapon, but the purifier jerked forwad, avoiding the blow. Then Astral launched a powerful series of shots with the sword , but the watchman took him by the neck and threw him to the ground, but Astral easily freed himself by kicking the enemy's chin.
The purifier pounced on the guardian and pierced his right shoulder, but the guardian managed to threw him away. But Asral didn't give up.
He took a quick shot and gave a powerful blow to the guardian's abdomen . Then hit him on the back and finally on the left side. When he tried to hit him for the fourth time the guardian took Astral and threw him againts a wall .
Suddenly an electric arrow struck the right leg of the guardian. Astral looked up and saw Jenny holding a bow, immediately after three more arrows they hit the back of the guard who suffered the electric effect. He was overwhelmed by a very strong electric shock, his agony lasted for seconds and then Astral took the bat and broke his neck with a powerful strike.
Jenny: great job guys
Astral: yep. Thanks for your help
Drake and Cat could not believe their ears.
Drake: heard I well?
Cat: finally you decided
Kaiser: To be honest, I knew that Astral would sooner or later accept our help. By the way do you have a plan to defeat Avareus?
the purifier took a look at the body of the guardian and thought of an idea to deceive Avareus .
Astral: I have a plan but I will need your help
Drake: what kind of plan would it be?
Astral: One of you will have to wear the guardian's armor and make Avareus believe that I have been defeated and when he will be distracted by pride ... I will hit
Without thinking, Cat volunteered.
Cat: I'm good at acting, I can wear the armor
While Kaiser removed the armor from the watchman, Astral delivered his boots and sword to Cat. Then the warrior dog put on his armor and luckily it was his size.
Astral: I'll be dead and you'll take me to the den of Avareus , then give him my golden boots and my sword to make him believe I'm really dead
Cat: are you sure it will believe it?
Astral: being too rich can lead to ruin
Cat put on his helmet and took A stra l. When he arrived at the den Avareus was very happy to see that his guardian managed to kill the dreaded purifier .
Avareus: guardian. I knew you would not disappoint me.
Cat: it's an honor to serve you my lord
Avareus: will you mind if I tell Rakto that I killed the purifier?
Cat: no , my lord
Cat's mind: you are going to do a bad end, ugly son of a bitch
Avareus turned and added Astral's sword and boots ... it was the right time to attack .
Astral got up and rushed at the demon. The purifier put his hands on his face and the purification was performed . Shortly after the soul of Prince John was liberated .
Prince John: I will never thank you enough for freeing me, but now there is no time to waste . Rakto is already preparing the next attack.
The soul of the prince went up to the astral world. After Prince John disappeared Astral felt the determination within him, it was as if every day he passed in Barkinburg felt the need to fight not only for himself but also for others.
Astral: It does not matter how many times it will attack Barkinburg. F inche be here on this earth I will never surrender without a fight!
Go on...
