Kael was in the depths of his dream. He dreams of his past when they were dating with his girlfriend Jane.
"I love you," Kael said to her while brushing her hair.
"I love you too!" she said to him while kissing his lips.
"Kael! Wake up! We're ambushed!" yelled the Knight while shaking him up.
"What happened?! Where are we?!" Kael yelled back while he was still confused, half asleep.
"I will explain later! We're under attack!" shouted the leader.
Kael went outside while still dizzy. The burning arrows were raining towards them.
Pak! Pak! Tak!
Kael repelled the arrows rapidly in succession. He saw the shooters were up in the cliff and they were at the bottom, being attacked. Making them an easy target. The arrows were burning and the arrows that were stuck on the carriage were starting to make a fire that was spreading throughout the carriage.
"My goods! Don't let them burn! Put the fire out!" the merchant yelled to them.
The Mage caster cast [Rainfall] within the range of the carriage. This skill will make a rain cloud that will make showers of rain.
They were hiding on the cover at the back of the carriage. The fire arrows began to halt their attacks but then, the bandits initiated their [Battled cries]. It was a skill of the barbarians that will make their attack speed rise by fifty percent. The skill effects depend on how much skill points you've invested in it.
They jumped from the top of the cliff and launched their attacks.
"Team! Make a defence on the carriage! Surround the carriage! Now!" their leader ordered, pointing the carriage.
They immediately executed the command. The Paladin and Knight were at the front. Kael was at their backs, followed by the Priest and the rear was covered by Mage that was protected by the Ranger. The merchant and the driver were hidden inside the carriage.
"Prepare for combat!" shouted their leader.
The Barbarian bandits jumped towards them. They were armed with axes and some were with arrows. It was raining with barbarians that were falling from the cliff. Five barbarians jumped at them that carries axes. The Knight and Paladin raised their shields and it was struck by the Barbarian's axes.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Ping!
The shields were rapidly struck by them, making it sound from each hit. They were barely defending their furious blows and it was heavy.
Nguk!
Their leader was flinching to their barrage, also the Paladin was in pinch. Thinking of a solution, the Paladin used his skill.
[Shield flash]
The Paladin's shield flashed a great light to the onlookers. They were blinded for three seconds. The three seconds were enough for them to do what they have to do.
The Paladin hammers them, then turned to use his shield's skill.
[Shield slam]
They were thrown to the impact. While they were still blinded, the Knight slashed his sword at the enemies.
[Slash] [Slash] [Slash]
They managed to wound them, but not to the point that they were killed. Kael was just behind them and he thought that they can manage. He didn't expect them to handle the situation themselves.
The enemies had recovered their sights and they were enraged.
[Roar]
The Barbarians roared and then they attacked with greater strength. They kicked the Paladin and he was thrown, making him slam to the carriage. Kael felt alarmed about the situation. He takes over the position of the Paladin. The Paladin was immediately healed by the Priest.
Kael gripped his sword tightly, the enemies struck with fierceness. Three enemies were heading to Kael and two to the Knight. Kael blocked with his sword but felt their force was making his blocks being pushed. Three was striking with dual-wielded axes and they were fast. Luckily, Kael has ample strength to deflect their axes and had trained his reflex to the limit when he was still a kid. It seems to be like it was only a normal exercise together with his father but in a real situation.
Kael deflects rapidly and was coping up with their attacks. While the Knight leader was repeatedly smashed on his shield. The knight used his skill [Slash]. He struck one on the neck thus killing it. They were reduced by one but it didn't stop them. It even resulted in them to be angered. One slash was heavy and the Paladin's arms that were carrying the shield were weary due to their onslaught of attacks.
Kael on the other side, slashed one of the arms of the barbarian then his neck. His body slammed to the ground and then Kael pierced the chest of the other. Both were down and only one left. Kael then went offensive. He slashed his sword as fast as he could and he made three cuts on his chest; slashing through his ribcage.
The Knight, on the other hand, slashed his enemy and then bashed his shield. The enemy staggered backwards and then he charged while aiming his sword in a piercing stance.
[Pierce charge]
He used the skill then it pierces his enemy. All were down, Kael wiped his sword to his enemy's clothes.
The enemies from the top of the cliff then rained their arrows towards them.
"Take cover!" Kael shouted.
They went to the backside of the carriage and while the shield bearers were lifting their shields high.
Kael then made a plan to eradicate them.
"I have a plan. Ranger's arrows won't reach them but a spell can," Kael said to the leader.
"Can you make a large scale spell?" Kael asked the Mage.
"Yes. With a mana potion, I can cast another [Mega Fireball]," he said to him frantically.
"Here. A mana potion," Kael handed his mana potion.
He managed to gulp it in one way and he was replenished.
"I can make two [Mega fireball] with this!" he exclaimed.
"Cover me, while I prepare the spell," he said then closed his eyes to focus.
He made two [Mega fireballs] at the same time and then prepared to unleash it.
"I'm ready!" The Mage said.
"Make a diversion on the other side of the carriage and the attack to the other side," Kael said to them.
The shield bearers went to the other side and the mage to the other side.
"On my signal! Three! Two! One! Go!" Kael instructed.
The shield bearers went to the other side and then arrows rained on them. On the other side, Kael and the Mage then unleashed his spell on the cliff.
Bang! Bang!
The cliff exploded and then the cliff landslides. They were eroded together with the cliff and were crushed by the dirt.
Woohoo!!!
Everyone shouted with gladness as they become victorious from the battle. They leapt and hugged each other. Kael on the contrary was calm and relaxed. He isn't happy nor sad but emotionless, because killing was normal in his past life.
They removed the arrows that have struck the carriage and then moved to the kingdom of Farmus–the kingdom of Barbarians. Leaving the dead enemies behind.
