Chapter 13
"Ryu might I suggest you pay the Elves a visit after all we do know that Elves are involved and are sending people to be soul sucked and merged with humans to create these hybrid knights they can surely point us in the right direction." Sūker states to Ryu.
"You forget Sūker the Elves hate me, but you do have a point they are likely to know what goes on with this time to put a stop to them quickly I don't have time to waste now."
As Ryu finishes his sentence Mizuki and the other two enter Sūker's room they see Ryu back again they notice he looks different then when they last saw him his hair is shorter and his manner and presence is different he seems to be like the Ryu of old which Mizuki admired about him, he did not sit around and wait for things to happen he went out and did it, while she admired him she began to speak to him. "I see you're back and with a haircut I take it you had a pleasant stay at Lady Death's?"
He turns around looking at Mizuki while he looks at her he speaks in a somewhat relaxed tone, "yes it was thank you for asking, but right now I don't have time to talk I'm heading to see the elven king he will know what I need to know Sūker will fill you in on what is happening."
As he finishes his sentence he starts to teleport away before they could ask him any questions, he arrives in the Old Forest home of the high elves it has a beautiful scenery the trees are enormous and tall it is buzzing with life only elves no other race came there they keep to themselves seeing as they see themselves superior to other races the look down on the rest of the world.
Ryu raises his hand in the air and speaks in a loud voice, "Take me to Eldar your king you can leave the trees!" Suddenly a dozen elves descend from the trees they are all between 5'8 to 6ft tall, all of them have light colored eyes and light hair their complexions are also pale they don't see the sun much it's hard to distinguish the men from the women they all have long hair and are wearing green tight leather uniforms. They aim there bow's at Ryu one elf approaches him and ties his hands behind his back, they are leading him to the king of the elves.
They enter the throne room it has several elven statues previous rulers it would appear all chiseled from marble, the room itself is huge and has stained glass that resembles the history of elves. At the very end sits Eldar the king he is 6'5 tall and also has a slender build his clothes are from higher quality that the normal elves living there indicating his royalty and status as the ruler. He speaks to Ryu in an arrogant tone.
"So Ryu what brings trash like you here you know that you and your kind are not welcome here and you dare show your face here now I'll do the world a favor and take your head!"
"Oh threats right off the bat I sure hope you have been busy with training and I don't mean these empty threats you make in the mirror each morning when you get up, you tied my hands and that makes you think you're in control here but that's a lie and you know that deep down the sweat from your forehead tells the truth stop pretending."
Eldar suddenly raises his hands and 30 more trained elves come into the room the total now 43 including the king.
Ryu looks around seeing the elves comes rushing in, "you flatter me Eldar well whatever makes you feel safe I suppose now down to business you're sending people to the Queen and she is creating a new breed of knight that is soulless so now my question is where are you sending them the wizards location that's what I need to know and not much else you can then go and have an orgy or whatever it is you do."
"Silence Ryu you insolent bastard what I do with my people is none of your concern they are all my property, I will never tell you GAURDS KILL HIM!!!"
He shouts at the top of his lunges they prepare their weapons swords, spears and their bows, Ryu looks at them and breaks his restraints with little effort he summons the newly upgraded Curtana in his hand he simply stands there surrounded by elves.
"Don't do this you are all going to die here today a meaningless death for a coward of a king, go home to your husbands and wives. I will only say this once." Ryu states unfazed by the number of elves surrounding him.
"See that he's afraid he tries to talk his way out of this kill him your king commands this!" Eldar shouts.
Several elves rush at Ryu seeing this he starts to move with incredible speed to evade and starts to cut down the elves one by one as they attack him displaying his superior fighting skills with each one he cuts down the next attack seems more hesitant to attack blood splatters all over Ryu covering him in blood, the screams echoes in the Old Forest and through the castle walls Eldar looks on with fear in his eyes he hides behind his throne. Before they knew it only four remained.
"Come now the last four of you time to face your deaths like your fellow comrades you have no chance," three charge at Ryu he stabs one in the mouth with Curtana the blade coming out of his head he slices in an instant to the side splitting his mouth open to one side the elf drops dead he beheads the second one the third one manages to stab Ryu in his chest from the back as Ryu turns around the spear still in his chest he starts to pull it out all the way through the one that stabbed him falls to his knees in despair the will to live fades from his eyes Ryu kills him using his own weapon to do so by driving the spear through his chest.
Ryu faces the last elf as she merely stands there he slowly starts walking to her blade in hand she falls to her knees in the pool of blood from her comrades her hair is a golden color her eyes are emerald green but seem lifeless Ryu lifts Curtana to the side of his head preparing to behead the woman but stops at her neck as he hears another heartbeat other than hers coming from her womb.
"You are free to live leave this place and start over your child must live I will not take two lives at the same time especially one that is yet to be born."
Ryu says as he lets the woman go free she gets up and simply runs out of the throne room away from it all thinking only of her own safety now. Ryu walks over to Eldar grabbing him out from behind his chair.
"Now coward tell me the truth how many have you sacrificed for this endeavor to kill me?"
"I will never talk you can do your worst to me my lips are sealed and I will never reveal anything to you Ryu." Eldar stated arrogantly
A mark appears on Eldar's chest a black flower, "O but you will tell me." Ryu states and beheads Eldar.
Three seconds pass and Eldar is once again in front of Ryu terror in his eyes he could have sworn he was just killed by Ryu but now he is back again he has very little time to think as Ryu stand in front of him and he on his knees looking up at Ryu.
