Chapter 153 - Chapter 153 A Small Army From The Silver Fang Guild

As The people stopped moving one of the men drew his sword and shouted "We of the Silver Fang guild are here to slay the vampire." The man pointed his sword at them and said "If your not the vampire stay out of it or we'll be forced to kill you too." Thomas stood up and said "Actually this does concern me." The man lowered his sword and asked "How does this concern you?" Thomas appeared in front of him and grabbed him by the face as he said "Its simple I benefit from this." Thomas slammed the man into the ground and said "I'll make you the same offer." Thomas stood up and said "Their is one of you I need to speak to, so either stay out of my way or be killed." Thomas glared at the man he slammed in the ground and said "Well what's your answer?" Thomas stared at him for a few moments and mumbled "Dammit, did I kill him?" Thomas kneeled down and checked for a pulse. Thomas paused for a moment and mumbled "I killed the commander." Thomas stood up and sighed as he said "It was so much easier with those talisman on." Thomas stared at the other people and asked "So you gonna let me talk to this guy or are you all gonna end up like him?" The men all began to glance at each other as they whispered amongst themselves. Eventually it fell silent and the men created a line through the middle so a heavily armored man wielding a massive hammer could get through. Thomas sat down and said "So you already know what I want." The man took off his helmet and said "You use magic don't you?" Thomas nodded and said "I over heard some of the towns people talking about your collection of books." The man set his hammer aside and crossed his arms as he asked "If I allow you into my personal library what will you do with it?" Thomas shrugged and said "It depends on what the books are about." The man stared at Thomas and said "What would you do if there was a book that could conquer the world?" Thomas stared at him and said "Then I don't have a use for it, it's just not what I'm searching for." The man stared at Thomas and asked "Why should I believe you?" Thomas leaned back and stared at the sky as he said "I suppose you don't have to, but I'll probably get in either way." The man stared at Thomas and asked "What do you hope to gain from it?" Thomas sighed and said "This is gonna sound incredibly stupid but, I'm hoping I can find a book that will increase my mana intake." The man kneeled down and said "Now that you mention it your mana is being taken from you and given to that girl." Thomas stared at Poppy and said "That's not a girl, it's a doll." The man stood up and said "I shall allow you to borrow the book after this." Thomas stood up and said "This is gonna take a while though." The man nodded and said "Perhaps we should go get the book while this sorts itself out." Thomas shrugged and said "Works with me." As Thomas and the man walked off Mira glanced at Ocis and asked "Wasn't he gonna help us?" Ocis nodded and said "But he did help us." Mira stared at Ocis and asked "How is walking away helping us?" Ocis pointed at the man and said "That guy was definitely stronger then all of us combined, so he lured him away." Mira stared at the other soldiers and said "Then he was trying to kill that one guy?" Ocis shook her head and said "Unfortunately no, he didn't even know his own strength and accidentally killed him." The soldiers began to talk amongst themselves once again as another man walked out from the crowd and held up a sword while shouting "For Silver Fang!" As he did this all of the other men raised their sword and shouted "For Silver Fang!" As the men began to charge towards Mira, Ocis, and Poppy Mira said you guys should go somewhere else." Ocis nodded and picked up Poppy as she said "I'll keep Poppy safe." Mira smiled and said "Good because my magic can be a little destructive." Mira held her hand towards the people and shouted "Ice barrage!" As extremely sharp ice circles formed in the air and flew towards the enemies Ocis flew towards the village with Poppy on her head. As the ice hit the people it shattered their armor and pierced through their exposed limbs. Mira stopped casting the spell and said "Killing you is not my goal, that is why I only aimed for your legs and arms." As Mira stood there all but one of the men were on the ground screaming in agony." The man stared at Mira and said "So it is true, for a while I doubted a vampire to be living so close to a village." The man smiled and said "But of course all of these people were just mere distractions." As the man raised his hand and swatted it down towards Mira while shouting "Ranged units, attack!" As Mira was shot several times in her chest she fell to the ground. The man walked towards her and said "Honestly I expected more from a vampire." As Mira's wounds healed she pushed herself off of the ground and began to claw at the man while shouting "You bastard!" The man grabbed her and threw her back on the ground as he walked away and said "Ranged units, prepare the second volley." As Mira stood up she muttered "You sick bastard." The man stood a few yards away and said "Ready, aim, fire!" Mira stood there as she waited to hear a loud bang and feel a bullet pierce through her. As nothing came Ocis flew towards Mira and said "I took care of those guys with guns." Mira glanced at Ocis and said "Thank you." The man stared at Ocis and drew a sword as he said "If you want something done do yourself." The man lunged towards Mira and stabbed her through the chest as he said "Your energy should be running low." The man shoved the sword into the ground and said "Now stay put while I deal with that pesky harpy." The man began to walk towards Ocis as he asked "Where is that doll that demi human mentions you had with you?" Ocis glanced at the town and said "I left her on one of the roofs." The man grabbed Ocis by the throat and said "You interfering won't safe her, you only postponed her death." Ocis began to claw at his armor with her talons as she said "It won't go to waste!" The man punched Ocis in the stomach with his other hand repeatedly as he said "Keep telling yourself that so you have a clear conscience when you die." As the man continued to punch Ocis he felt a hand grab his shoulder. As he turned to see who it was he shouted "Who else dares to bother me." As he seen Thomas standing there he said "I see it's that pathetic demi human who got lucky earlier." Thomas glared at the man and said "Mira at least had the decency to do it somewhere I couldn't see it." The man tossed Ocis aside and said "Adding another one of you to my list will be fine I suppose." The man stared at Thomas and asked "Where did the other man go." Thomas set the book in his hand down and said "He said he was going to be a while." Thomas glared at the man and said "He wanted to see you when he got back but now I think he's just gonna see what's left of you." The man walked towards Mira and pulled his sword from her as he said "That's big talk from someone so weak." The man began to walk towards Thomas as he raised his sword and said "I'll kill you quickly." As the man swung his sword he said "Don't worry after I kill you I'll be sure these two join you." Thomas glanced at the man with a red eye as the other was bleeding. The man stared at Thomas and said "I haven't even hit you yet and your already bleeding, truly pathetic." Thomas avoided the sword by stepping to the side and said "Your mistaken, I already said that I'd kill you." The man raised his sword and said "I commend you for being able to dodge my attack, but luck can only take you so far." Thomas glanced at Ocis and said "Your right, but with enough luck you might be able to have an open casket." The man smiled and said "I'll enjoy killing you."
