Chereads / Potato after Death / Chapter 11 - Into The Village

Chapter 11 - Into The Village

"Wait a minute!" Ashito yelled out after he excited the door, "I can't just be a flying potato. Take the basket."

"Oh yeah, right. I'll go get it."

Akane went back into the house and got the basket. Now it was time for them to return to the village and stop the attack from Serfama.

"So, how will we wind the knights?" Akane said to Ashito.

"Well I'm not sure if this works, but I think telekinesis may mean reading the minds of others further away and maybe I can even see where the knights are."

"It's worth a try."

"OK, here I go." Ashito said, closed his eyes and activated his telekinesis.

As soon as Ashito did so, dozens of voices filled his head.

'So many voices are filling my head, I can't even fin the black knights.' Ashito thought soon after, 'But I gotta do this. Come on, Ashito, focus!'

Ashito once again started to use his telekinesis, this time trying to concentrate as much as he could.

'It's working!' Ashito thought as the voices became understandable and coordinated, 'Now to find the knights.'

Ashito started to "look" through the voices seeing some sort of visions along with them, until he found a knight. 'There's one.' Ashito thought, as he continued searching and found 3 more knights alone and three groups of two knights each.

"OK so I found 4 knights alone and 6 knights together in 3 groups. I say we take out the ones alone first."

"Good idea. Where are they?"

"Because I flew over the city I have a pretty good idea of where two of the single knights are and one group of knights is, so I guess we should get those single knights I know first and we'll try to find the location for the other knights later."

"OK then, let's move."

After that Ashito flew out of the basket and flew away, Akane following him.

After a few minutes Ashito found the first location, the knight only moved a little.

"There he is we have to stop him!"

"Princess Akane, what are you doing here?"

"Don't address me like that. I want nothing to do with you!" Akane said as she started running up to the knight grabbed, her knife, then as if sharpening its blade, slid it against the knight's left forearms armour."

'What, nothing happened? How are we gonna stop the whole Serfama army, if she. can't even take out the gua-'Ashito thought, but before he finished he heard something.

-Aaaaaaaargh!

Akane turned around as the guard had screamed, at his left forearm being brutally cut off, it now bleeding. Akane's slice was so powerful there was even a visible cut in the side of his hips which was next to his arm at the time of the slice.

Ashito could see that the pain was too much, the knight falling to the ground, unconscious, still bleeding.

'Jeez. She is SO powerful.' Ashito thought as the knight fell.

"One down, nine to go." Akane said with a twisted smile on her bloody face.

"O-OK then. Follow me to the next one." Ashito said, disturbed at the scene before him.

Ashito and Akane went towards the next knight.

After getting to the first knight, getting to the second one was much faster.

This time Akane took care of the knight much faster.

"OK, those were the knights I could locate. I'll use my telekinesis to check on the last single knight and then we'll get the groups of knights."

Ashito once again closed his eyes and used his telekinesis. A few seconds later he opened his eyes, now with more informations.

"So there are some changes. It seems that we may have alerted the knights that we're coming after them and the single knight has banded with another group and other two groups also joined up."

"OK, let's move. Wait, do you know the location of the the knights."

"The four person squad is on the move so it's hard to track them, but the three knight squad is attacking the market. I was in a market before, but this one is different. It seems to have weapons and magic items in it by what I saw."

"They're looting the market, of course. I know where that is, follow me."

Akane started running, even faster than last time, Ashito flying right beside her.
