He woke up, in a whole different space , than he slept. He was tied up. Kenoni wasn't with him. They have captured him.
*I am alone, again.*
He was thinking about another attachment to the gauntlet that it could save him from this situation pretty easily. But in this case the only attachment was the electrical one.
Azar, keeping his mind calm, tried to think a way out. He had to untie himself , someway. He couldn't use magic because whatever he could do, he would harm himself.
*The whole place is covered by darkness and shadows. Someone, should be watching me, either way they are a bunch of stupid people.*
Something moved in the shadows. Azar noticed it. The only thing he could do was to wait the perfect opportunity.
But... what is the opportunity that he is waiting for? What determines the perfect opportunity? He didn't knew either.
He was waiting, patiently. His eyes adjusted to the darkness. He was now able to see.
*And here i was thinking what could go worse. Me being tied up in a chair , surrounded by darkness, unable to do anything, alone. Well... the situation just got worse. I am not alone. I have a bunch of hunters surrounding me. Not one, not two, a whole bunch of stupid hunters waiting for me to make a move, and the the game begins.*
His pouch of supplies are with his sword. Just in front of him. A few meters away. Just enough time to run and get shot by every corner of the room.
*How much of an idiot am I. Yes what a genius idea to sleep. IN THE ENEMY'S LAIR. Kenoni was right what an ignorant stupid person i am.*
He had to do something , or he would die, either by hunger or by the bored hunters that want some action to fulfill them with joy.
*I have just one metal rod. I have to use it the best way i can.*
He thought the best way to use this rod. whatever he had to do he had to do it fast or sneaky. He chose both. First he took the rod hidden in his sleeves. He parted it in too many little pieces, and had a handful of small metal balls.
Then he charged his fist with a fire ball that he launched at the floor. The sudden light blinded the hunters that where used to live in the darkness. The explosion from the fire ball, launched Azar to his staff, he landed close enough and the chair broke, he was suffering , in pain but still managed to continue his plan. He made a swing with his body throwing all the metal balls to the hunters as a distraction. He jumped and passed his hands under his feet grabbed Kenoni cut the rope from his hands, and he now was able to fight back.
He felt... invincible, he now was confident, he followed his plan without any problem.
He was slashing the knees of whoever passed through the metal balls, while he was charging the gauntlet with electricity. He was never had any killing intention, Kenoni though was a bloodthirsty demon, she was surviving this way, she wasn't satisfied but she didn't had the control, so she had to accept it.
The gauntlet was fully charged, his hand was shacking, he unleashed the electrical wave from his gauntlet, with an exploding start, the wave was going to pass through the metal balls and then to anyone who had any metal on him, it also created a magnetic field which was changing the direction of the arrows.
The explosion though , dislocate his left shoulder , a sudden pain passed through his spine , making him shiver. But he kept his calmness, he didn't even backed down, he continued slashing the knees of anyone who was paralyzed.
It was now matter of seconds , before everyone in the room was either screaming of anger or pain. He never stayed to loot, he immediately left , he found the exit pretty easily, when he was out at the forest, he found the strength to put his hand against a tree and with some force he put it back to it's place.
He had back his staff and was quite exhausted, all the fight and the pain he felt, made him realized something. He felt useless without Kenoni he had to rely to himself and himself alone. He had to get stronger, he had to be able to make a totally unfair fight for him to a totally unfair fight for his enemy. Kenoni isn't going to stay forever.
Movements and shouting suddenly sounded from far behind him, he had to run , he had to flee the forest. This time, the morning sun made the forest a magical and calm place, that must be the reason for the hunters to play their game here, it was too deceiving. He could fall to this trap himself.
He run through the forest, he couldn't really say that he knew where he was heading to, he was just running the opposite direction of the shouting.
He was running but his muscles was complaining , he was exhausted , he had to rest, but he had to leave the forest.
Suddenly, a big hand appeared , throwing him to the ground. Azar lost his breath by the crash with the ground. He coughed a few times before someone kicked him to his stomach. He was dizzy and he couldn't breath, a giant person , with a giant sword ready to split him in half.
He used all of his remaining power to roll away. He didn't had any power to fight. His whole body was in pain. He couldn't breath well and a giant person was trying to kill him with a giant sword.
He didn't have enough time to make anything useful, he didn't had the power either.
-Kenoni... i think... this is the end.-
-What do you mean? get the fuck up and beat his ass!-
-Easy to say than done.-
-Well then... it deserves you right.-
-I think that this is the time I am going to die. Except if the unexpected happens again... HEY! HEY! ARE YOU HERE?!-
-What the hell are you shouting for?-
-Not you, there is something that saved me before.-
-Ohhh, you see, it's quite difficult for her to come to the surface.-
-What do you mean?-
-Sigh... nothing is going to save you this time.-
The second that passed , the giant grabbed his sword from the ground and he was now rushing towards Azar.
Something was feeling off, he didn't really thought he was going to die. He was trying to accept it, but he couldn't.
-Okay, Kenoni , promise me, if i give you the control, will you give it back?.-
-Why would i ever do that?-
-Because , i can now understand your feelings. You are not just trying to survive, it is a part of your lifestyle but , now that you have a steady source of mana, you have began to show emotions.-
-What are you saying you numbskull?-
-I now know how is it to feel dependent to someone, and i now know how loneliness feel.-
-Shut up, i will take the control of your body even if you die, i don't really care about you.-
-Okay then, you can take it now if you want.-
A few milliseconds before the sword hits Azar and split his head from his body. A quick slash from Azar split in half the hunter, the cut was so clean and powerful that his body didn't split, it fell like it was to the ground.
Kenoni, started laughing she felt invincible she was running into the forest like a mad man, slashing whatever was on her way. A hunter appeared before her. Not a nanosecond later his head was in her bloody hands, Azar's body started taking a demonized look, his eyes started getting red, his face had that smile that could make even the god fell to his knees out of fear. His hands blooded by all the cut heads she was holding and the sword which had the form of a katana starting gaining a bright red color.
Suddenly , she stopped and fell to her knees. She started crying and screaming. She had everything, but she could now feel Azar's emotions. He felt lonely, hopeless, he was depending only at his mind and his plans till he met her. He felt joy out of every discussion and fight he had with her. She burst in tears falling through her hands to her knees. She furiously grabbed her hair that had know grown a lot taking a silver color with red endings. She was scared. She didn't knew how to handle all this emotions. And the worst part was that she now knew how it felt to be trusted by someone. She looked up at the beautiful scene that was now destroyed by her.
Feelings from everything Azar had felt, unknown to her, she was scare of how did Azar could pull off with all those feelings. Scared, she went back to her safe place where she didn't had to feel all of these things.
Azar started to regain consciousness. When he regained it, he calmly checked out the situation.
-I knew it. I knew i could trust you.-
-Don't talk to me!-
-You know i could sense your feelings?-
-Shut up!-
The katana at Azar's hands turned into the dagger and it's bright red color turned to black.
*Sigh... I can't believe it, i made a demon be scared of me.*
Everything around him was covered in blood and he was still holding the heads of the killed hunters. He threw them away, disgusted by the scene he stood up and run. Some of the woods was now cut off by Kenoni and he was able to find the right way out.
Kenoni wasn't responding to Azar and silence fell again. It was lonely. Once he got out of the forest exhausted by everything, he found a place to rest while thinking about what attachments he should make with the remaining materials.
He didn't even began to think and he slept. Exhausted and alone. He found out that he wasn't aware of the fact that his friends could be dead. He knew that there's a possibility but he kept it in the darkest places of his mind. Scared, with a bunch of nightmares watching his friends dying before his eyes, he was continuously waking up. After a total of two hours of sleep he woke up and tried to think about ways to upgrade his stuff.
