Chapter 29 - The 7 strangers and the hidden threat

All 3 separate along the defensive line waiting for the time to strike. High above on the walls looking down at reiji.

[Aisha] hrmm he smells kind of familiar. could it be we have met before? No I'd remember that aura if I had. she flips her eye patch back down.

The horde of beasts is close enough that you can see them. There are many different beasts. While they approach reiji is making mental notes for the first wave.

"No strong ones huh such a shame I won't be getting stronger." Reiji looks into the horde again. Minotaurs, wolves, spiders, and many others he doesn't know. Plant based beasts rock ogres, and Cait siths.

The rock ogre at the front throws a Boulder. a blonde man jumps from the walls sending the Boulder back into the crowd of beasts.

He turns to look at reiji. walking towards him suddenly speeds up drastically. He dashes straight to reiji, and every monster in the man's path turns into sliced meat piles. Blood dripping from his spear he looks at reiji who is a little taller than him.

[???] Hmm, so you're the rumored child? I have to say I'm not impressed.. not yet anyway. I am Taito.

[Taito] We shall speak another time. he turns and dashes towards another group annihilationg them in a huge explosion.

Reiji swings his hand in a clawing motion while running through the battlefield. Many monsters try to attack but are killed quickly.

A rock golem goes to swing down on reiji as he is locked in combat with another.Suddenly a blue streak dashes by reijis eyes. The beasts core is in the man's hands. He crushes it and the monsters body vanishes into dust.

[???] You are weak for being one of us..lost child."

the man looks at reiji with his piercing blue eyes. "I am keito.. and you will fall to me one day.

Keito looks on as reiji just scoffs, ignoring him. His eyes burn with hatred. A monster bigger than the city walls pulls itself out of the ground coming at him.

He turns and smashes its skull, blowing it too into dust. He resumes his battle with monsters remembering reiji's ignorance, causing his anger to boil.

"I can't believe she'd choose someone like him."

Reiji continues his assault on the army of beasts. Suddenly, a giant fireball scorches the land around him. the smoke settles, and reiji is covering himself with his wings and floating in the air. He had met it halfway, reducing the impact.

A voice echoes behind him. before reiji turns a bony hand grabs him.

[???] Puny human I shall kil...

The monster is pulled and thrown by a black figure with one eye.

Aisha steps forth from the shadowy void.

[aisha] So your reiji, she grabs onto him. you smell strong. the others may not see it..but I do. you will be stronger than us all.

Aisha aims at the monster and tosses a dagger through the dark void she came from. piercing the magic jewel in its chest.

Aisha looks at reiji. " beware undead creatures don't give off life signs you must see with your mind, not your other senses. Aisha steps back through the portal and disappears.

reiji uses his revised skills as a giant horned woman looks on. she grabs a bone ogre and drags it along with her. She uses its body as a weapon. Eventually, its spine gets ripped out.

Reiji comes up to a wyvern in mid-air. Rosalie is battling it using black fire. reiji shakes his head and says. "Elements have strengths and weaknesses, but everything has a weak spot."

The ogre woman smiles, approaching reiji from behind. Just as reiji was watching the fight, a Boulder was hurled in his direction.

Reiji axe kicks it, sending it into an unaware monster group.

[???] HAHAHA little man is strong make good mate.

Rosalie swiftly looks down as she says this she looks back and slices the wyvern soft belly shooting some feathers into its neck.

She rushes down, grabbing onto reiji.

Rosalie looks at the 8 foot woman with an axe in one hand and a monster trying to bite at her flesh. She sticks her tongue out and says.

"Reiji is my mate."

[???] Hahaha, strong mate, many wives who knows what will happen."

she looks down while raising her foot, crushing the beast. I am Skye leader of the red ogres, princess of the tribal alliance chief.

She tosses her axe it slices monster after monster until it sticks into the ground. She walks off "we will meet again, child. "she dissapears amongst the attacking bone ogres laughing.

Reiji is reaching the back of the horde when the ground shakes warping the earth causing bridges of earth to attach to the walls. Reiji looks on confused.

Maniacal laughter I'd heard as many human figures appear. they run up the bridge at great speeds cloaked in a shadow mantle.

Reiji makes a fist squeezing hard enough that his hand bleeds. " humans I knew it wasn't just those idiots. Others must have been summoned to a different kingdom.

Suddenly the figures were sliced in half as a man covered like a ninja pulls wires back into his sleeves. Reiji laughs hard as he cries. "it..it's a ninja Hahahaha."

The man appears before reiji with many clones of himself behind him. Many soldiers rush the field attacking the weaker monsters.

reiji is on guard.

[???] My name is ash, and it's not nice to make fun of others. " Ash vanishes.

The cloaked figure in the back tosses a few bottles and slits his wrist. they mumble a chant. A dozen bone wyvern appear and sissapear instantly.

A young girl walks forth she is around 20 years of age holding two smoking guns.

she walks forth a tail swinging back and forth with pointy ears on her head. reiji rushes over and waits obviously she's here to introduce herself.

"I am Lilly I make no comments nor do I care who you are."

Lily continues firing elemental energy from her guns each shot felling a monster.

Reijis eye twitches and he kicks the air sending forth a energy wave at a giant bear with 5 horns.

" didn't expect her to just ignore me. I prefer it, but she was quite blunt about it."

Rosanna can be seen casting celestial blades slicing through some undead her blades glowing with white light.Reiji goes over to her as a robed skeleton appears behind her.

reiji runs trying to get in range for his skills.

A red headed man with fiery red eyes holding a claymore dashes forth slicing the monster. grabbing Rosanna, pulling her into his chest.

[???] what is a goddess like you doing fighting such things. I really don't think a delicate girl like you should be here. you may call me soma.

Rosanna was startled at first, then she sees reiji, and he looked angry. Rosanna smiles then knees the man in the balls.

He kneels in pain. Rosanna looks down at him yelling at soma.

"KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!!" She continues as she jumps into reijis chest. Reiji smirks as soma stands, opening his red eyes.

"You are him?.Tch" he walks away angrily annihilating every enemy in his path. Soma looks back.

"Remember this reiji hashimiya that woman will be mine soon."
