Chapter 30 FATED

Kingdom of Lance

Twentieth hour

As the day drew dark, the north section of the fifth district became lighted up and was crowded, for everyone returned to their various homes and others ending their various activities. In the mist of the crowd, the Behamolt, still using Elroy's form stood and watched everyone. 'How do I get to the west section of the sixth district' he thought

"Excuse me" a male voice spoke from behind Elroy, he quickly turned around to know who it was, "Are you lost?" Tony Rooks asked

"Ah yes, I know I'm in the fifth district, but how can I get to the West section of the sixth district?"

"Continue down this Street until you see a bridge, it leads directly to the West section of the sixth district."

"Thank you very much, may I have a drink with you for this kindness"

"Maybe next time...."

"I insist sir, it'll make me happy"

"Alright, there's a place we can go nearby" Tony said, then walks pass Elroy "come with me"

In a pub with few people, Elroy sits with Tony having a drink.

"That's pretty far; you've come a long way Elroy"

"It was not an easy journey"

"Now I'm curious, why risk it to come here?"

"There's a man I need to settle, it is because of him I am who I am today"

"That's really good"

"He deserves it"

"That's a nice sword" Tony complimented, staring at the cased Rapier on the table

"It's a marvelous one"

"Indeed, do you know her?" Tony whispered to Elroy "behind you"

Elroy gently turns around and sees Mira, who was seated at the far end of the pub; she immediately turns to another direction as though she was looking for something. "No, but she smells familiar"

"Smells familiar?" Tony chuckled "is the wine taking its toll or that's a way of saying she's beautiful in the South."

"Maybe"

"You are one of a kind Elroy; she has been staring at you since we walked in"

"You have a sharp sense"

"I learnt from the best"

"I will like to meet this teacher personally."

"Someday" Tony assured then straightened up, he gulps up the remaining wine then gazes at Elroy "Thank you for this hospitality Elroy"

"You certainly deserve it"

"Find a nice room for your mate over there, she seems interested" Tony said with a smile then walks away

"Humans and their lusts" sighs "now, for the main event"

Outskirt of Vlastisi

Elroy lay on the sand unconscious then he flinched as a voice worriedly called out his name, he slowly raised his head then shook it, 'Stand up El' the fading female voice echoed, Elroy then lifts his head to the blurry figure standing before him. 'El' the fading voice of the figure echoed. Elroy peered closely at the figure as his sight became clear; it was Aria, clothed in black hooded cape. "Stand the fuck up Elroy" she raged with a clear voice, Elroy immediately came to his senses as the night snuffles became clear again, he looked over to his left, the Behamolt was distracted, ripping the horses apart as they whinnied, he looked over to the right and sees his team straightening up on their feet, trying to recover from the event. Elroy then stood up gradually before dusting the sand of his salamander wool cloak.

"It's distracted" said Mira, glaring at the sore sight of the Behamolt devouring the horses "let's get to the fir forest; it's just half a mile away."

"That's the same one that attacked me and Celsius" Elroy assured

"Who cares?" Jake asked crossly "it's not paying attention to us"

"That's the one that almost killed me" Said Elroy as he draws his sword

"Don't you dare El" Mira warned

"I'm taking its head" Elroy declared then advanced towards the Behamolt before Lukas could get a hold on him.

"El!" Everyone called out.

The Behamolt stopped its dinner then turns over to Elroy, it snots then snarled into the sky before slashing at Elroy with its claws.

Elroy quickly flipped over its hand then sliced its waist; he then jumped backwards and took a defense pose as the Behamolt roared. "We meet again Behamolt"

The Behamolt turned to Elroy with a loud snarl before pounding the ground, Elroy was nippy enough to avoid the dreadful attack with a side flip, which could had smashed him into bits. Elroy then began darting around the Behamolt, evading its ferocious slashes and slicing its body.

"What is going on?" Karin asked with astonishment as she beheld the amazing

"Looks like his ability as Shadow of ruin just kicked in" Lukas said

"They did not call him the Shadow of ruin for nothing" Jake assured

"Not just that, he's moving like Master Iris." Mira spoke curiously

"Hold on guys, aren't we supposed to be helping" Hector asked, drawing everyone's attention to him "just saying"

Clinging on the opportunity, Elroy evades a wide slash then cut off the Behamolt’s hand, arousing team five to cheer. The Behamolt growled out loudly as blood sprouts from the arm, Elroy charged directly at it, ducks under a slash then slides underneath it, slicing it's ankle before making a quick turn as it came to its knees. "Got you" Elroy said confidently with a smile then clenches tight on the hilt of his sword, with a wide strike he slashed at the Behamolt's neck.

Elroy watched with panic, his smile turning into a frown as his sword shattered on the horns of the Behamolt, it was quick enough to block the fatal slash with its hard horns. The Behamolt roared then slammed Elroy to the ground.

"El!!!" Mira cried out as she draws her sword along with the others.

Suddenly, from nowhere two arrows pierced into the eyes of the Behamolt, it shirked out loudly unable to see, then three figures clothed in the Seekers Squad vest advanced pass Elroy's body, two rammed their hewing spear into its torso while the third, a bald black skin man, plunged his sword into its mouth.

"To hell in the name of Jesus" he proclaimed then the Behamolt immediately pulverized into dust.
