Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 - Yorthos Raid (Part 2)

I roamed around the town as the whole Majiked Kingdom was slowly flooded with foes. Knights of both factions were fighting all around, Civilians running and seeking safety from mall the harm. I ran around town looking for Jessica. As I neared a corner, i heard loud thuds, clashing, and grunts. I took the corner and saw Jessica with dual spears fighting over 10 enemy knights. She seemed to be having a hard time...Till I saw her fight....

Some of the knights dashed for the attack, she then ducked quickly dealt with it by striking them with the spears and continuing with kicks and punches. I watched in awe as she looked like she was dancing as she was fighting.

As she kept fighting, I saw a knight get up and try to attack from behind. I instantly reacted so I dashed forward and kicked the man right in the head. Knocking him a few feet away.

Jessica finished up just in time and looked at me. She looked impressed underneath her helmet. Soon after I got my footing, a few knights came down and surrounded us. We were then positioned back-to-back as I drew my bow. Both of us let out a small chuckle before fighting it out with the waves of enemies. I wanted to test out the new jewel Rhythian gave me so I charged up my bow and took aim. The bow soon glowed, turning the once blue arrow into purple. I shot the arrow and as it flew, it turned from a mana arrow into sharp rocky needles that pierced the armors of the enemies like it was simple cloth. The display of magic left Jessica and I in awe as we continued to battle.

[Meanwhile, Rhythian]

I dashed across the building roofs, slashing away at the dark-spawns that were infecting the town. The waves of enemies were endless as I stopped by a tower to take a quick breath. As I did, the sky soon emitted a bright purple wave across the sky. The waves of enemies soon stopped coming through the portal.

Was it over? I asked myself as I looked at the sky. No, the portals were still there. In total confusion, I climbed the tower to get a better vantage point. As I did, an army of Dark Knights were in formation by the portal's landing point. The army consisted of soldiers, golems, darkbats, and more...

The army looked like they were waiting on something. As the red banners of the Yorthos kingdom danced along the wind, a loud yet disturbing burst of energy emitted from the portals above. The many gates soon merged into one and as it did, a total of 8 figures were soon falling from it.

The 8 figures consisted of 7 knights who had special armor made with magic and enhancements, while the 8th figure was something I didn't think I'd see this early...

The King of Yorthos...

The king soon walked with his army. Leading them into the already ravaged town. The army marched in unison while the 8 figures stayed behind. The king seemed to have seen me as he pointed his sword towards my direction. Soon after, without any time to spare, a chained hammer was struck against the side of the tower, making it slowly topple over into the open field. As the tower was slowly falling, I ran up it and jumped off. I was safe from the fall, however, I was now surrounded by the 7 Elite Knights...

I looked around as they had special weapons assigned to each one. Daggers, War hammer, Sword, Spears, Rapier, Magic, and Gauntlets. They raised the weapons up as if they had malicious intent that was burning within them. I pulled out my great sword and shouldered it as I stood in the middle of the Knights. The wind howled along with the sounds of the crackling fires, metals clashing, and screams of pain and misery.

All of us stood still as if we were waiting for a signal to begin our strike. We only heard the ambient sounds of the raid as we kept our stances. Soon after, a piece of rubble from the tower broke off from it, slowly knocking into the other pieces of rubble.

Time slowed down as I looked at the little pebble slowly making it's way down into the ground. Seconds later, the pebble jumped from the last piece of rubble and slowly dropped into the dirt.

When the pebble ground, the knights soon dashed forward and the battle began...

[Present, Mileena]

I knocked the last knight down into the ground. I was starting to lose my breath as I did. Jessica soon lowered her weapons and took a deep breath, as did I. We looked at each other and Jessica giggled a bit as she did.

"That was impressive kid! Where did you learn how to fight like that?" She asked as she rested her hands on her waist.

"I learned it from your brother..." I replied in between my breaths, barely letting the sentence out of my mouth. She let out yet another giggle as she took off her helmet, revealing her long golden hair.

"Of course he did, looks like he didn't rust after all..." She comments

"Are you talking about his skills or armor?" I joked as I rested by a broken wall. She seemed to have like the joke as she rested beside me. We were now looking at a field filled with the bodies of knights from both sides. Both Jessica and I were filled with dirt, blood and scars as the war raged on.

As we looked at the field, we both raised a fist and bumped it into each other. Looks like we both felt some kind of achievement after fighting that wave of knights. Seconds later, a loud boom was heard and a cloud of dust soon grew in the distance. Loud clashing of metal was heard as it echoes throughout the town. Jessica and I soon ran towards the source to know what it was...
