Chapter 8 - A slayer's sword and the mysterious ring.

"How the hell am I going to find Alzak? I don't even know where to start, I don't even know where I am." He spoke to himself for a while. After about an hour he went to sleep. When he was suddenly startled by horses neighing and shrieking. He stood up, got his walking staff and walked towards the place.

As he neared the place, the shrieks and howls traveled the air. There he reached and judged what was happening, he couldn't see therefore relies on his senses. "Another pack? Wolves? No coyotes, probably demon beasts. Packs this large are rare." He thought to himself, he was right, no normal packs would have more than 150 of them. He smelled the air around, it was filled with blood. When the coyotes once again howled, they attacked to the center. They surrounded something, rather someone. "Welp!" "Hangh!!!" The coyotes were getting killed, however were also dealing damage to the one they surrounded. Kazein was still assessing the situation, he didn't have a proper weapon, nor can he use magic. As the moonlight shone, it revealed who the coyotes were surrounding. A beautiful woman with long white hair, green eyes, a slender body and a beautiful face. She was wounded from feet to body. Then, a loud roar startled the coyotes and the forest, birds flew off and the ground shook. A beast approached, the woman looked troubled. She tried to escape but a large flame hit her. Kazein shook in fear, he felt an ominous aura from the east. When he heard the moan of the woman, he snapped back to reality.

Even though he left the light and hope, he still had humanity within him. He felt the way and ran towards the woman. The ground was hot and burned. The woman was unconscious, Kazein carried her. It was then that the beast from the east arrived. It was a large wyvern, it had a violet body and large horns. It's scales had signs of old wounds, it must have got them from previous battles. Suddenly, the wyvern spoke.

"Hmm? A human male? Blind. What are you doing here?" It's voice echoed.

[It can speak?! How?! Unless it's lived longer than 500 years and has reached the spirit road?! How the hell am I so bad at luck?!] He thought to himself. He stood there in thought.

"Oh well. You have nothing to do with this. Give that woman to me and I'll leave. She took something that is important to me." The wyvern stated.

"I I. I can't do that!" He replied. "What the hell am I saying?! I don't even know her." He thought to himself.

"Ho? You know that woman? Then are you gonna protect her? Or are you gonna run? But how? You're blind." The wyvern mocked him.

The wyvern was right. He can't run away nor can he fight. But he decided on one thing, that is, to fight. Kazein felt if he fought he'd find a way. While thinking he had an insight of what to do. Through a chain of dark lightning he felt in his mind. He saw the image of the ring with a skull engraved on it. He saw the ring bring out a thin blade, it curved in the tip and it had one distinguishing feature, the halo and demon horns imprinted in the scabbard, it had other prints as well. Dragons, demons, angels, humans everything that was considered dangerous was engraved in there.

He watched the scene play out within his mind. And with that he knew what to do.

When the wyvern finished laughing "Well, if that's how it is. Die alongside that foolish woman." The wyvern spat another large flame. As it engulfed Kazein and the woman who were at point blank. The wyvern looked back and began to leave. When it suddenly looked back, and saw Kazein behind his head. Kazein held the blade he saw in his mind, and he slashed down the wyvern's neck. Blood splurted down the wyvern's neck.

"Impossible! A sword can cut me?! What is that?!"

"Ha! As if I'd tell you. Bye now!" Kazein sheathed the sword and carried the woman once again and ran away.

Even though the wyvern was wounded, it was still strong. Kazein only landed a strike because it was off guard.

The wyvern didn't pursue. It focused on going back to its lair. After successfully escaping he went back to his camp. He lit the fire once more, found some mint and herbs, grounded them and applied to the woman. Kazein removed her clothes and applied the medicine he ground up. He couldn't see so he felt his way to the wounds. When suddenly he touched somewhere he shouldn't have. It was soft, it was bouncy and it was smooth. When he noticed he touched her breast, he wasn't panicked nor was he aroused. He just removed his hand and continued to apply medicine.

After that Kazein got some blankets from his bag and covered her up. After which, Kazein stayed up all night keeping watch. Then, he fell in a trance with the demon once more.

"Won't you do it while she is asleep?"

"Whatever do you mean, demon? Or should I say lusty demon?" Kazein casually replied.

"Well you know. She is beautiful, her boobs are quite big as well. I bet she's still a virgin." The demon lustfully said.

"Throughout your lifetime, how many women did you make love with?" Kazein asked.

"One. Why?" The demon answered.

"You're a demon of that calliber and you only had sex with one woman? How pathetic." Kazein turned the tables on who was getting mocked.

"What are you saying? How can I be satisfied with women who can't hold out for more than 20 minutes. This woman I f*ck*d lasted an hour." The demon defended himself.

Kazein didn't speak. He might get the tables turned once more.

"However, that sword you took out is strong. It's equal to my blade. That ring you have must have something more within it."

"Probably, however, it restricts me from seeing further within, it's as if it only opens when it needs to." Kazein replied.

After a while, they then finished chatting and Kazein woke up to see the woman still unconscious. For three days he nursed her. Until she woke up.
