Chapter 154 - Chapter 154 Silver Fang’s Second In Command

The man aimed his sword at Thomas and said "You better not be all talk." Thomas raised a hand to his bleeding eye and mumbled "Dammit already lost a bit of blood." The man took a stance and and began to rapidly swing his sword. Thomas dodged each of his strikes as he held his eye and mumbled "I thought most of this out but I wouldn't have known about my eye bleeding." The man smiled and said "I see your not your average pathetic demi human." The man began to swing his sword faster as he said "I'll slowly increase the speed of my swings, we'll see how long you last." As Ocis stood up she walked towards Mira and asked "Are you okay?" Mira laid there and said "We need to help him." Ocis glanced at Thomas and said "If we tried helping him now we'd just get in the way." Mira sat up and glanced at Thomas as she said "He's bleeding." Ocis nodded and said "It's probably because he lost that eye a while ago." Thomas took his hand off of his eye and mumbled "I'll just have to ignore this and make it quick." The man quit swinging his sword and said "Then perhaps you'd like to use your sword?" Thomas dashed towards the man and punch him in the stomach as he said "Scum like you don't deserve a quick death." The man coughed up blood and fell to the ground on his knees as he muttered "That blow, such strength for a demi human should be impossible." Thomas head butted the man and said "Let's do something about that face of yours." The man fell back and held his nose. Thomas held his hand up to the man and said "Ten seconds, either attack me or get a head start." The man grabbed Thomas's sword from its sheath and said "Ten seconds is all I need!" The man swung the sword at Thomas and said "With a cloud metal sword you won't even have a head left on your shoulders!" Thomas leaned back and said "Maybe I was being a bit selfish, should I add a bit more time?" The man began to swing at Thomas rapidly as he shouted "Just stay still and die!" Thomas dodged all of the attacks and said "Times up." The man stopped swinging and dropped the sword as he shouted "Why won't you stand still?" Thomas crouched down to the ground and said "I think I'll start with your legs." The man took a few steps back and said "I can still live if I get away from here!" As the man's legs sunk into the ground Thomas said "You should brace yourself, the pain your about to feel will be far worse then Ocis's." The man stared at Thomas and shouted "No wait please, I'll do whatever you want." Thomas glared at the man and said "You've already made the mistake of making me an enemy." The man felt the ground begin to crush his legs as he screamed out in agony. Thomas stared at him and said "I don't have enough mana to crush the bones as much as I'd like but it'll still be enough to make sure you won't be able to run away." Thomas took his hand off of the ground and began to walk towards the man as he said "Do you have any last words?" The man glanced at Thomas but before he could say anything Thomas kneeled down and grabbed his head as he said "You know what it doesn't matter, besides I wouldn't have bothered to listen to them anyway." Before Thomas could do anything else Ocis hopped onto his back and said "You shouldn't kill him." Thomas put his other hand on his bleeding eye and looked up at the sky as he said "I'm pretty sure it would be better if he just died." Ocis walked in front of Thomas and put her wings on his as she lowered it so he would stare at her and said "It might be better for the world but it'll just bother you later." Thomas's eye began to change back to orange and his other eye stopped bleeding as Ocis said "Besides I know you don't want to kill him." Thomas took his hand off of the man's face and said "Consider your crushed legs a warning." Thomas stood up and walked towards Mira as he asked "Why haven't you healed yet?" Mira stared at him and said "The energy I got from your blood was used up earlier so I don't have enough to heal myself." Thomas sat down beside her and said "I'm not sure how much blood I lost but if it will help you regenerate go for it." Mira grabbed his head and pulled him closer as she licked the blood on his face and said "This should do." Ocis stared at the man and said "I'm sorry about what he did to your legs." The man glanced at her and muttered "That damn demi human." After Mira got enough blood to fully recover Thomas stood up and walked over to the book he had recently gotten from the Silver Fang leader. As the leader of the Silver Fang walked out of the village and towards them the man who had his legs crushed shouted "Now you'll pay, now that our boss is here." The man pointed at Thomas and said "Quickly save me!" The man grabbed his hammer from earlier and walked towards the other man as he said "I suppose I should've told you sooner." The man raised his hammer and said "Your the one that started this stupid fight against the vampire, if anything you got what you deserved!" The man unable to move began to scream as he shouted for help. As the hammer crushed the man Thomas smugly smiled and said "I guess good things do come to those that wait." As Ocis stumbled towards Thomas she asked "Why did that guy kill the guy you broke the legs of." Thomas glanced at Ocis and said "That guy has been causing trouble for the guild, originally I wanted a book on mana absorption but after taking a short stroll with their leader he told me all about that bastard." The man walked towards Thomas and opened a satchel on his side revealing Poppy as he said "I picked her up on the way over here, she was running through the streets calling for help." The man picked Poppy up and set her on the ground as he said "You can keep the book as a personal thank you from me." As the man walked towards the other injured people he said "I appreciate you not killing them, well most of them." Thomas walked towards Ocis and picked her up. She stared at him embarrassed and asked "What are you doing?" Thomas glanced at her and said "Your injured, just relax." Ocis stared at him nervously and said "Do you have to carry me like this?" Thomas stared at her and asked "What's wrong with this?" Poppy stared at him and said "Your carrying her like a bride." Thomas stared at Ocis and said "Well bare with me, besides it's only temporary." Mira walked over to Thomas and the others as she asked "What should I do?" Thomas stared at her and said "Technically Ocis has a more freedom then me in the party so you should ask her." Ocis glanced at her and said "You should join!" Mira leaned down to Poppy and picked her up as she asked "But won't you get mad at me if I need blood." Thomas glanced at Mira and said "I don't losing a bit of blood every now and then but I'd prefer not lose blood everyday." Mira set Poppy on Thomas's shoulder and said "I'm sure the information I have will be valuable to you as well." Thomas glanced at her and asked "What kind of info?" Mira stared at him and said "Well it may not be of any use now, since all of the previous people I've known have probably died a while ago." Ocis stared at Mira and said "That reminds me, how old are you?" Mira looked away and said "I can't say I know my exact age but it's probably around a couple thousand years old." Mira stared at them and asked "What are your ages?" Thomas sighed and said "Honestly I don't know." Mira stared at Thomas and asked "Does that mean you've lived long too?" Poppy stared at her and said "More like he couldn't remember if he tried." Poppy smiled and said "Me and him actually have no memory of our real names or ages." Mira sighed and said "So I'll probably out live all of you." Thomas shrugged and began to walk back towards the inn as he said "Living long and witnessing everyone you know die must be terrible." Thomas glanced at Mira and said "Well until we die let's live a long and enjoyable life." Mira smiled and said "I think when you die I'll be able to remember you." Thomas turned back around and mumbled "Wait does that mean she expects me to die soon?"
