Eagle made the horse run faster after seeing the smoke in the direction of their camp. They have been traveling the whole night just to reach it in time. He miscalculated, he never thought they would attack now. There must have been more spies than he anticipated and someone might have managed to escape his attention. Thinking about it he first suspected Samael as a spy but after making Ignez look over him, he never made anything suspicious. Still he can't still fully let his guard down. Samael's origin is still a mystery for them. Besides that unknown magic weapon of his, his incredible fighting ability and that adaptability of him they know nothing to the man, it's like he doesn't even exist at all. A man with such talent like him couldn't be just a normal commoner, he must have some sort of connection.
Reaching their camp Eagle and the other bandits saw the pile of corpses stack from one another. Eagle fisted his hand, grinding his teeth. It's only been a few hours since they got the message that the camp has been attacked, they even used their transportation scroll to lessen the travelling hours they needed to reach in time but in just a few hours they managed to bring their camp in such a state.
" Second brother! This is unforgivable! We must avenge our brothers!" A bandit brother said as he looked at Eagle furiously as other brothers shouted in agreement.
" Be calm, he can't let our emotions get the best of us. The Cold Hearted General isn't someone to be underestimated not to mention that brother of him. We couldn't handle two demons at once." Eagle said.
" To be compared to my brother, is truly a compliment" A voice said, making Eagle and the other soldiers look at where the direction of where the voice came from only to find a young woman- no, a beautiful young man with long vanilla colored hair and a pair of teal colored eyes.
" Who are you?! What is a woman doing in a place like this?!" A bandit said, looking angrily to the young man.
" My, nice to finally meet you. The young Commander General Lionel Ellis Von Kinsley" Eagle said grinning at the young man. He looked at the young commander from head to toe and toe all the way to his head. " I didn't know the young commander had such fetishes. "
Hearing their brother's provocation the bandits laughed and looked at the young man lustfully.
" Hahaha, think about it, you look quite beautiful. How about you go with me on my bed tonight and I would surely make you a woman~ " One of the bandits said as the other smirked and cheered talking about taking turns who will have the young commander next.
" How dare you !" The soldiers said glaring at the soldier attempting to pull out their swords when Ellis stopped them.
" You mustn't lose your control. They're obviously provoking us to lose our temper." Ellis said with a calm voice.
Hearing what their commander said the soldiers couldn't help but repent on their actions and do their best to calm down. They mustn't lose their cools.
" I applaud you for being calm despite your young age, but being calm doesn't always help you in every situation." Eagle said as he snapped his fingers and the bandits immediately attacked Ellis and the soldiers.
The soldiers go in front of the commander protecting him from the bandits as they all pull out their swords defending themselves and their commander from the attacks.
" Is that all you can do to hide behind your soldiers?! Nobles, they truly have nothing but to brag!" One bandit said slashing to a soldier as the soldier blocked his attack making the bandit's face turn gloomy.
Ellis looked at the bandits and then looked at Eagle in front of him. He draws out his sword making the temperature around them lowers in temperature. The bandits stop as they notice something is wrong. They looked at the young commander and gulped, for some reason despite his current appearance they couldn't help but feel fear while looking at the young commander.
The bandits swallowed their fear and lifted up their sword and attacked the young commander only to be cut in half as their body began to be covered by a thick layer of ice. Looking at their brothers' corpses, the bandits legs began to shake. They wanted to run but they know once they do second brother will surely kill them for being a traitor.
Eagle looked at the corpses of his fellow brothers, the young commander indeed is strong for his age. Eagle's lips slowly curve as he pulls out his sword and turns around defending himself from the blade coming to his neck from his behind.
But he is far too weak compared to the demon of the battlefield! Eagle said from his mind as he slash his sword to his opponent, cutting a bit of Ellis' shirt, making a wound on his flawless chest.
Ellis looked at Eagle coldly assessing the situation. He knows he couldn't just attack randomly. Eagle might only be the second in common in the whole bandit group but he is nowhere weak. He's someone who can go toe to toe with a dragon or even be as strong as his brother.
Besides, even now he still hasn't used his weapon's magical ability. The best thing he can do is to stall sometime until his brother gets here . He just hoped that by this time he had already killed Dragon.
...…
Samael felt his body as if it's being burnt down by fire. Sweat is covering his body, his throat is sore, and his head feels like they're going to explode. He wanted to shout and call for help but no matter how much he shouted no one came for help.
Suddenly Samael feels like he can hear a voice somewhere. He slowly opens his eyes to be able to see an unfamiliar place.
Where is he?
He looked around but all he could see is a white wall, different kinds of machine he never seen before, a chair beside his bed. He has a needle injected to his arm that's being connected to a bag full of water.
Suddenly the door opens and there comes a woman wearing a white shirt and a short skirt following a man wearing a white shirt, black pants and white coat. He smiled at Samael after seeing he's awake.
" How are you feeling ? Do you feel pain anywhere ? It's a miracle that you managed to survive that …" Samael looked at the man as his voice went fainter and fainter. His head begins to hurt once again like it's being split into half. He holds his head as if somehow it will lessen the pain.
" Samael..."
He hears someone scream his name. He looked everywhere but he couldn't find where the voice was coming from.
"Samael…"
Samael closed his eyes and pulled his hair as he shouted from the pain.
"SAMAEL!!!!"
Suddenly Samael opens his eyes as he is panting. He saw a young man with long brown hair tied to his side looking at him worriedly with his pair of jade colored eyes. The young man stared at him for a while as he slowly calmed down.
" Thank goodness you safe. You've been shouting and yelling for help. Good thing the soldiers didn't manage to find us." Noticing his friend wasn't talking, Ignez looked at Samael.
" What's wrong?" He asked, seeing a friend staring at him somehow Ignez once again became worried.
Samael didn't speak for a while until a few seconds later he sighed.
" I remember everything"
