Endar charged at Kiro with full speed, Kiro jumped away from the colossal man, resulting him to crash at a group of trees. He completely broke the pines, leaving Kiro shocked.
"If I didn't dodge then I would be gathering up my pieces"
The giant charged up his fist and throws himself at Kiro; He once again dodges the attack, making Endar punch a hole in the ground.
-Time Leap
The time slows down, Kiro charges at his terrifying opponent, but soon discovers that the man has an ace up his sleeve
-How in the Hell does he have divine protection?
Endar raises his fist from the ground and punches Kiro in mid air, sending him flying until he falls half dead on the ground.
-My intentions are pure and noble, unlike yours, relying on cursed powers and demonic trickery.
Endar slowly walks towards Kiro:
-You haven't only betrayed your Kingdom; you have betrayed your kind by harboring what is forbidden to us!
Endar finally reaches Kiro; he raises his foot and says:
-I'm going to grant you a quick painless death!
He attempts to stomp Kiro and then; he feels a sharp pain coming from his foot. Kiro had pierced his sword through; he pulls the sword upwards, slicing the foot in half. Kiro rolls over and gets up with difficulty. Endar doesn't even flinch, instead he says:
-An average man would have died on the spot by that punch, If you want to die suffering that is your choice.
Kiro responds to Endar's speech:
- I haven't betrayed no one, since this isn't my kingdom.
Kiro draws his dagger
-Bloodlust
Kiro's eyes turn pitch black, he tries to find the weak spots of his colossal opponent, only one part of his body would give a strike that would be lethal, which was the back of his neck:
"How am I supposed to reach that? In the state I'm in I can barely dodge"
Endar charges once again at Kiro, instead of dodging Kiro throws his dagger at Endar's face, Endar gets distracted by dodging the blade thrown at him, giving Kiro the chance to slice up two of his massive fingers. Endar get's enraged by this and raises his other fist to crush Kiro. Suddenly, a wolf throws itself at Endar's face, biting and scratching the giant. He tears apart the wolf using his bare hands and throws it off like it was a piece of cloth. He notices that Kiro was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly , blood drips through his back, as he was stabbed by Kiro with a sword.
"Damn it, I lost the spot"
Kiro pulls the sword, ripping the man's flesh, until he pulls out his other dagger and begins stabbing his chest several times, as fast as he could. Endar puts his massive hands around Kiro and starts squeezing him. Kiro screams in pain and swings his dagger at Endar's throat. Endar's finally releases Kiro, who starts coughing blood. His throat starts bleeding but not extensively:
"Is his skin that dense that even the blade couldn't cut through it?"
Kiro than notices that his blade has stuck on Endar's body:
"It might sound crazy, especially in the state I'm in, but I will try."
Kiro gathers all his strengths and runs towards Endar. The giant throws a punch in the air, which Kiro dodges. Then Kiro jumps as high as he can, placing his legs right on his sword grip, using it as a platform, he jumps once again and says:
-This world is too big for you – And then he pierces the back of his neck with his dagger. The giant finally falls to the ground, defeated. Kiro then takes a look at the prince, shocked by the fight and the brutality of both men. Kiro approaches the prince and then he kicks him right at his face.
-What is it your majesty, you wanted to go hunting?
Kiro stomps on his face several times, while grinning.
-Unfortunately, I'm going to need you alive.
-If I live, I will make sure that you pay for what you have done! No man in Hellar or Cassius will be able to save you from my wrath -says the prince with his voice trembling with fear.
Kiro burst into laughter and replies:
-Your wrath?
Kiro pulls his dagger and points it against the prince.
-I have killed two heroes by now, If I weren't asked to not kill you, you would have been flayed alive by now.
Kiro grabs him by his long hair and drags him through the Bethea's Forest. He drags the prince to his horse and ties him up with vines.
-Sit tight and enjoy the ride scumbag
Kiro sets off to Vesper's mansion, The prince screamed for help in the top of his lungs.
-HELP somebody, anyone HELP!
Kiro had enough of it and stops the horse. Kiro starts punching the price as hard as he could until the prince was knocked unconscious, his face dripping blood.
- Finally!
Time passes, it had gotten pitch dark in the time Kiro arrived at Vesper's mansion. The guards open the gate for him. Kiro drags the prince towards the mansion, where Vesper was waiting.
-So you did it, by looking at you I can say it was not easy.
-You bet it wasn't I had to fight a hero.
-Well, it doesn't matter much since the prince is here.
-If I could ask, why do you need him alive?
Vesper laughs and says:
-To assassinate the crown prince is one thing, to send him to Cassius as a slave is a humiliation to the entire Kingdom.
-I see, so where is my reward.
-You know me reaper; I would never leave my associate unpaid for his work.
Vesper hands Kiro a fat bag of drezas
-30,000 Drezas, a big reward for a big job.
Kiro takes the money and mounts his horse.
-Take care Reaper
Kiro Leaves the mansion, the night was cold, after a while, Kiro finally arrived at his mansion. He dismounted the horse and quietly enters the house. He heads to the living room and sees Luchia and Vallerie sleeping inside. Kiro grabs two blankets and covers both of them. He then heads to the bedroom; he undresses and collapses on the bed. His whole body was in pain. His eyes became heavier and heavier, until he decided to close them.
