Hearing Sergeant Kace say those words caused me to freeze in place, not because I was scared but of who he had said the attackers were. The Order of The Grim, one name I hoped I would hear again.
KaceCalled upon his mana and covered his arms in stone and used some extra mana to harden his skin on his chest, using up all his mana to last as long as he could for the kids to get away. "If I had my armor this would be a different story!" he yelled out as he rushed and punched the jumping woman in the stomach sending her flying back a few meters while her partner viciously chopped down on Sergeant Kaces arm.
The sword broke against the stone and only scratched the surface of Kaces arm. The man did a back step quickly as the woman sprang back up and drew a pair of daggers after a greyish light surrounded her body.
The grey light entered the woman's body while she was sprinting and she got noticeable faster, seeing this, Kace got a look of concern on his face before he cursed out loud. "Fucking wind user, just what I needed right now," he said sarcastically as he brought up his hand.
The ground at his feet flew up in a spike towards the woman who dodged to the side with unnatural speed and grace as if the spike was in slow motion. She dodged to the side and threw a dagger at Kace who didn't even bother to move out of the way as it clanged against his chest with a metallic sound.
"Even though you can move faster, that doesn't mean you are any stronger than before, I have fought many wind users and the one flaw you all have is you think that speed is all you need!" he yelled at the woman before punching down into the ground to cause multiple spikes to rapidly rise from the ground towards the woman.
The other man used the distraction his partner was causing to run around the fighting pair towards the camp to threaten the kids to distract Kace.
Seeing the man sprinting towards us the fear fled me and it was replaced by rage! I had really wanted to see The Order once again, I wasn't done venting the anger that was buried in my heart.
Fire burst from me causing my group mates to take a few steps back as the flames became hotter and wilder, Hazel seeing my state waved everyone back, she knew just how deadly I could be when I lost control, her mother had cautioned her about the eventuality of the loss of self-control on my part and told her to stay out of my way at all costs.
Fire cascaded down my arms and blew my hair into an orange bonfire as the wall in front of me started to smolder and ignite.
The man that had been running towards the wall had stopped on seeing flames suddenly catch a section of wall on fire and a look of glee came through his mind as the target of this foolish operation had been found, "Bruni, it looks like your time has come, for what you did to Gale the blooded you must be punished!" the man yelled out towards the now fully burning wall.
That was a name I would never forget and hearing it made my anger even hotter as a cloak of fire now flowed down my back as the fire started to flow down my chest like a suit of armor, I felt no heat all I wanted was to kill the man on the other side of this blasted wall! "GALE IS DEAD!" I roared in rage and pain.
The man was looking at the fire in amazement before yelling out once again, "yes he is dead, and his mother is very pissed at you! Do you know whose son you killed? You killed the leader of our mercenary group's son!" he laughed at me before continuing, "She has set a Blood debt with you and placed a bounty of 400 golden crowns for you to be brought before her alive so she can kill you herself!" he cackled madly at me seeing the flame rising ever higher.
I snapped at hearing the laugh and roared and punched at the wall that was blocking me from getting to the man. Liquid fire was pouring out of both eyes and the heat was magnified once again as fire wrapped around both hands before I punched as hard as I could at the offending logs.
Kace seeing the fire rising from the camp knew I had lost control and a smile grew on his face at the amount of mana he could sense pouring from the camp.
Seeing the smile on Kace, his opponent drew back a few steps and also looked at what had made the man smile, that's when she saw the wall burst apart as if it was made of paper and a boy that was completely on fire and looked like a demon from the deepest parts of hell appeared.
"Oh, your partner has done it now, this is not going to end well for him!" Kace laughed out as the women looked back towards him in confusion.
The woman rushed at Kace with her daggers once again as fear started to trickle down her back as she also was sensing the amount of mana coming from Bruni. She needed to end this fight quickly but this earth user is just too tough to finish in a couple of moves she lamented to herself as she hopped her partner would be able to capture that boy, after all the intel they received said that the boy was untrained and newly awakened so it shouldn't be too hard, right?
