Chereads / Mauri's Tale / Chapter 9 - Frank, The Fire Expert

Chapter 9 - Frank, The Fire Expert

One of the villagers yells in horror as Mauri swings down onto him with her conjured dragon broadsword, killing him instantly, The Fiend says to Mauri.

"good now consume him as well."

she responds regrettably.

"but it would mean that we have consumed the whole village."

The Fiend insists.

"it is a necessary action that we have to take, if we want to grow our powers."

while Mauri starts to eat the dead villager, The Fiend says.

"to think that there was no strong magic users within this village, to stop us as soon as we arrived, their measly powers didn't stand a chance against ours."

he then asks her a question in her mind.

"so tell me Mauri, what caused humans and elves to form such a strong bond together, before the purges happened?"

while she was eating she replies in her thoughts.

"well at first the alliance was formed to counter the threat that the Dragonoids posed, and during the war, The Elves shared their natural healing powers, that they possessed, and since the healing process involves sexual intercourse, many pairs formed do to the intimacy of that action."

The Fiend responds.

"oh I see, and I'm guessing once the war was over the higher ups were not happy that many half breeds were destroying what they perceived as pure bloodlines. am I right in that assumption?"

she replies in her thoughts.

"yes I was there when me and the other heroes of the war were trying to get help from the all the elven kings and not only did they refuse to help stop the purges, they encouraged it and said that it was a public service to do so."

The fiend replies.

"in a way I sympathize with their cause."

Mauri stops eating the body and angrily replies.

"you bastard, that's the main reason why my family was murdered."

he responds calmly.

"I'm on your side. remember I feel the same anger you feel because right now we are one. I was just saying that I sympathize because after your revenge we're going to erase a dirty bloodline created by some demon."

she continues to eat and replies in her mind.

"alright I get it, but it's still infuriating to hear you say that you sympathize with them."

and as Mauri continues to eat, The fiend chuckles and says.

"it looks like someone is here."

Mauri the hears a familiar voice shout angrily.

"you. stop eating that person right now!"

Mauri finishes eating a piece of flesh and slowly stands up to turn around, she gives him an evil smile and says menancily.

"Hello Frank, long time no see."

he looks at her like he has seen a ghost, Frank then asks with his voice shaking.

"what are you doing, why are you eating a person, were you the one causing the trouble that I heard about?"

she burps and as she wipes the blood covering her mouth, she responds.

"I don't know. why don't you ask the the fine people of this village."

and before he got to say anything, she interrupts.

"oh wait, they are no longer with us."

he responds.

"well this works out, since your are wanted anyway, this gives me more of a reason to kill you."

The fiend whispers to her.

"don't use your conjuration magic, try out your new demonic powers."

Mauri furiously yells at Frank.

"you will pay for what you did to my family, you piece of shit!"

Frank shouts.

"Flame Meteor."

a huge fire ball around, twelve feet in radius comes flying down from the sky, Mauri thinks to herself impressed.

"wow no ones has been able to make a fire ball this huge before."

The Fiend says to her.

"don't worry about that, we demons are immune to fire, so there is no need to waste energy blocking this attack."

the huge fire ball engulfs Mauri, but she doesnt feel a thing, and the she asks the fiend.

"is this why you said that Frank wouldn't pose a problem?"

he chuckles and responds.

"of course, now chant Searing Whip, if you land strikes on him, it will turn the inside of his body that was afflicted, into mush."

after the fiend told her that, Mauri chants.

"searing whip."

and as the flames disappear, she sees that the whip is shrouded in black smoke, and then Frank shouts at her.

"as expected of my teacher, you were able to survive my most powerful attack, but this isn't the only one I got, so prepare yourself!"

and as Mauri rushes towards Frank, he shouts.

"lava pit!"

she falls through a hole beneath, and finds herself submerged in lava, she then thinks says to The Fiend.

"I'm liking this whole immune to fire thing, if it wasn't for this I would have immidiately melted with this power."

she then jumps out of the hole, and Frank exclaims.

"what the hell, are you made of?!"

she quickly swings the whip, and it swung so fast, that he didn't get a chance to react and he collapses as he got struck on both knees, and as he screams in pain, Mauri approaches him and then strikes both of his elbow, to disable his ability to use magic, she shouts at him.

"thus is for my husband."

she strikes him on the chest, and Frank starts puking out blood, Mauri then hits his head, and then Frank's body began to convulse violently for a few moments, and then quickly stops moving, she then asks the fiend.

"this searing whip is pretty devastating, do all demons have something like?"

he replies.

"no this power is all mine, and this is just the surface of my true powers, so now do your job and consume him."

and as she starts to eat Frank, the fiend says in her mind.

"soon enough the next two will be just as easy to defeat as this one was, and maybe we can destroy your former comrades too."

she replies in her thoughts.

"no they have nothing to do with this, so as far I'm concerned, my revenge ends once I take King's life."

he chuckles and responds ominously.

"I guess we'll see about that."
