Chapter 5: The Blood Legion

Clang. Pum. Pum. Pum.

Each strike had a meaning. An emphasis. This shadowy figure wanted something.

"Hyaah!" The tall man went in for strike, throwing his large sword toward them.

Fwung. Fwung. Fwung. Crck.

The sword flew out of his hands and broke into the earth. "I didn't need it anyway." He jumped backward, his hooves digging into the earth beneath.

"Hehe." The Shadowy figure cackled.

"Hup!" The tall man leapt from the ground toward the figure, throwing his hand into their chest.

"Yah." They let out yelp.

Boom. Crmbl.

The floor cracked underneath them; the impact revealed them. Their irises glowed a dark red. A Daemon.

The tall man snarled. "The Blood Legion, I knew you would come at some point."

They smirked. "To think that The Blood God, would be out here. There must be a reason for it."

His grip got tighter on them. "I am no God!"

"Then what are you?" The Daemon asked him.

He stayed silent.

"You don't know?" They smirked. "You're Technoblade, The Blood God. Destroyer of all That are Living! Those who fight him perish!" They continued on smugly.

"I am no God!" He pushed them further into the ground. "Your ideals of me are all a façade."

"Are they?" They continued.

Phil rose from the cart, staring over at Techno. 'His name is Techno? It's... such a delicate name.'

The Daemon's eyes darted to Phil, who was floating above the cart.

"King Philip? Of the Osman Kingdom? Is dead?" They said lifting their head off the floor.

Techno began to panic, darting his eyes toward him.

"He looks sawed in half. Did you happen to do that?" They said smugly.

"Grrr." He growled like a dog.

"What are they-"

"Stay out this human." He held his hand out Phil.

"What does he need to stay out of? This is nothing." They chuckled. "Just friendly banter between two of the same kind."

Techno let out a long sigh, closing his eyes.

Crmbl.

His grip loosened slightly.

"Well... I must be going. Seen as you two may need a little chat between one another. Wouldn't you think?" They smirked. "Cha. Cha."

Thiss.

They turned into dust like they were never there.

He stood up, slowly. Walking over to the cart, his hooves wavering with each step.

"What did they mean by, Blood God." Phil stared, looking down toward Techno from above.

Techno looked up to him. His vision wavering like it had never done before.

"Uhh... well, that's... that's." With however many times he tried, the words just weren't forming.

Thud.

Techno fell to the floor in the same place he had gotten up. He hadn't slept in days. This fight had put something into him, that he would never forget.

Fear...
