Chapter 34 - Surprise assault

The sun was rising high and Rosch had some energy back. He was still pale and weak, but it was enough to move. He looked around and while looking he felt the grip of the red beauty tightening. She was holding him with one hand, pressing him into her chest, while looking at him. With the other hand, she run through his hair. Rosch liked it for a moment, thinking he was little again and his mother was holding him.

"Are you awake my cute little boy? ", the red beauty asked teasingly.

Rosch nodded and wanted to get up, but she didn't let him. Roch was really weak at the moment.

"Can you let me go? I don't mind being held by a beauty, but being all motherly is a bit weird.", Rosch said a bit annoyed. But the red beauty pressed him against her chest even stronger.

"I can't hold my excitement. My cute boy, you are the first one that didn't lie to me. You said you would give me life essence, so we both would survive, but even though I didn't let your mind free, you still gave me some.

I would have died if you didn't give me some life essence. You almost killed yourself going completely berserker. That was so heroic, I think I am in love. ", She said beaming with happiness.

" Don't need to thank me. I just couldn't let you die. You were sealed for such a long time. It would be cold hearted, if I just killed you of, but for real let me go now. It is a bit annoying to be treated like a child. ", Rosch said with a bit more force this time and to his surprise she released him.

Rosch stood slowly up and checked himself. He got thinner and paler, as if he was sick. Losing so much life essence was hard, as if you just survived a long lasting illness.

The red beauty just looked at him, as if she wanted to hug him more but couldn't.

"What is wrong with you? Are you so eager to hold me?", Rosch was surprised and didn't know how to react.

"Yes, you are to good and cute. I won't let you go from now on. Let's travel the world. I have to kill some people, but after that we will just have fun. Oh and call me by my name Basarilia or maybe mommy. We are soulmates now my cute boy.", Basarilia said with such vigor and love that it could smash Rosch into pieces.

Rosch twitched when she said mommy. She really liked to be the motherly figure it seemed.

" Basarilia, right? I have a mother already so stop this mother act and even more so, I have a family, even a child is on the way. I can't just elope with you. I love them to much, but it is the truth that I claimed you. Some part of me doesn't want to let you go.", Rosch said as if he got a new female and would take her with him.

But as if a lever got shifted, her attitude shifted instantly. She jumped up and grabbed Rosch at his neck, picking him up, as if he was a weak little Goblin.

"You will betray me just like all the others. Was your act of giving your life essence to me just a play, to get me as your plaything or just some other sick shit?", she suddenly got angry and asked enraged.

" I just pitied you. You were sealed inside this liar for half a millennial. I just wanted to get you out, if you want to be my female so be it, but if you want to be free I do not care either. ", Rosch said calmly even under the pain of his throat being squeezed together.

Basarilia got mad, than confused and than again depressed and started to tear up. Rosch could see that she was instable. Being sealed and alone for such a long time would break many beings.

"You, you, you, you, you, you why are you doing this to me. I should have just played with you like I always do with the beings I am interested in and then throw you away. Everybody wants to hurt me. Like always.", Basarilia shouted, her mind was fragile. Rosch never experienced such a situation, but he knew that it was dangerous.

From the entrance of the liar some beings entered. Rosch felt them instantly, but with Basarilia being so fragile and him so powerless everything looked as if it would be over. But to his surprise the beings that came in looked scared to death. It was a group of Nightwalkers, exactly 13 probably the rest of the scouting group.

"Zas is lying over there. He seems to be alive. But the rest is dead. We should get him and run, I don't want to fight a demon.", one of the Nightwalkers said terrified.

But to his surprise the leader shook his head.

"Look at her. She is down, crying like a little female. We finish her and then take Zas, completing the orders we got. I am sick of this place. We should have gone a long time ago. But with that little dump prince over there we couldn't.", the leader of the group said enraged. They were long gone if it wasn't for Zas, now they even lost 7 strong warriors.

But as they finished talking Basarilia went up and looked at them angrily.

" Who do you call weak little female. I am not weak. I will kill you all, while eating your life essences you fucks.", she was still hurt and wanted to release some anger, while shouting that.

And with a wave of her magical power the ground shifted and holes appeared as if it wanted to swallow the group of Nightwalkers. From the ground hands came up and grabbed the Nightwalkers feet to drag them into the ground. The group was panicking, starting to stab into the ground, with their bone blades.

Everything looked as if it was over in a second, but from Rosch perspective everything looked surreal. The Nightwalkers started to scream and walk around aimlessly. They must be inside one of her illusions. Some even fought each other, only two of the group were different. They didn't look terrified, but more regretting their choice of not leaving the liar.

Rosch thought it was odd and went behind the stone, where Basarilia came from. He was weak and the only way he could help was to get out of the way.

Basarilia started to use magic spells, concentrating her dark magic into spears. It took some time, but for a moment she closed her eyes to concentrate a bit better.

At that moment the leader and vice-leader took action. They had some kind of amulet that started to shine.

They closed the distance between them and Basarilia instantly, attacking from both sides. The leader went from the left side, which was closer to Rosch.

"Fuck I knew it. Those two were to relaxed, the other Nightwalkers had true fear on their faces. I need to kill them fast, but I am to weak. I could take one out, before the other one gets alarmed, but fighting the second one head on is suicide.", Rosch thought about his next step, but time was running short and shortly after he had to react.

Rosch went after the leader hoping the second one would be weaker.

To Rosch's surprise both of them were completely clueless, even when Rosch was 3 meters behind the leader.

" Goddammit right! Galia's bottle with the fluids made my body odor smell like the forest.", Rosch thought happily, while cutting the head of the leader clean of.

Rosch dashed towards the second Nightwalker, but his body wasn't in perfect shape. He couldn't accelerate like he always does.

The other Nightwalker was shocked. He saw something in the corner of his eye and as he moved his head to the side, he saw the headless body of his leader, dropping to the ground.

The Nightwalker was stunned, a being that could sneak up on them was terrifying and he instantly thought about the little monster the prince of the Nightwalkers mentioned.

The Nightwalker changed targets and wanted to take out Rosch, on the other hand, Rosch was getting ready to fight a battle he would definitely lose.

"You little shit, because of you so many of us had to die. I will take you down with us.", the Nightwalker screamed at Rosch.

Rosch on the other hand was silent. He extended his bone blades, ready to take action but to his surprise he was overwhelmed in a second.

Left hand was pushed aside, while Rosch's right hand got grabbed without much of a struggle. He was truly weak right now.

Rosch couldn't defend himself right now and was pierced right through the stomach.

"That's what you get you little shit. You shouldn't have antagonized us, the Nightwalkers.", the Nightwalker said annoyed.

He wanted to retract his four bone blades that were inside Rosch and stab him with them again, but he couldn't. Without realizing what happened, the Nightwalker dropped to the ground. A huge black spear shot a huge hole through the Nightwalker's head, finishing him quickly.

The bone blades of the Nightwalker slowly retracted and Rosch got free, but in his weak state he couldn't stand up anymore. He dropped on his ass, looking around exhausted and weak.

Basarilia shot her 13 black spears at all the Nightwalkers, but as she saw that some were missing she looked around and found them fighting.

"Why do the Nightwalkers have those amulets? Don't tell me, their relationship with the Humans got better. Those shitty Nightwalkers. I was careless, to think the cute boy had to save me again.", Basarilia thought getting calmer again. She wasn't that angry anymore. She run over to help him, putting pressure on his wounds.
