It was the girl in the hood.
Alex saw the girl he had saved from falling, trying to get the knights away from her.
Alex didn't know why, but his blood boiled in rage. Two black twin blades appeared in Alex's hands. He was about to dash over and help he, but John blocked his path.
"Don't" John warned.
Alex gritted his teeth. He shoved John's hand from his path and before John could say any word, Alex was already gone.
John sighed,'What has come over this guy?'
Alex raised his blades up and neatly sliced one of the four knight's fingers.
"Ahhhhh~" the knight screamed as blood gushed out if his fingerless palm.
The scream attracted the attention if the other knights, making them all turn to face the source if the noise, Alex.
Alex starred at them, his gaze alone to make the strongest man's knee to tremble I'm fear.
'What kind if monster is this.' they asked. Never in their whole lives have they ever met someone as terrifying as the guy standing before them. Even their teachers in the knight academies weren't as scary as this.
The knights didn't no whether to cry or laugh at their current situation.
[Knights: Did we wrong you anywhere? (:T^T:)]
One knight who had a little courage, ran towards Alex at full speed. The other knights who were watching felt hope begin to bloom in their hearts.
'They could beat this guy right? Besides, he was only one guy right and they were five. Well no four. One lost all his fingers'
The hope and courage that had began to bloom in their hearts, flew out if the window when the saw Alex take down the knight with just three moves.
'Pah! Pah! Pah!' (×_×)
Rest of the knights:(°0°)
The knights watched as they saw their fellow knight breath his last.
'Where they perhaps up against a demon?'
[Knights: Who left the gates of hell open?]
Alex did not give the other knights a chance to make a move. He ran towards them with a frightening speed.
The Knights watched as they lost body parts one after the other.
"My hand! My hand they busted cut them off" Cried one knight as he tried to stop the blood. ' Does this guy have something against fingers?'
[Alex: My bad bro. I didn't mean that one. I was aiming for your neck. Your fingers were in the way. Knight:"_"]
Alex continued to cut body parts like a professional chef cutting vegetables until he put all the knights to sleep. ( Not the kind of sleep you would look forward to)
The hooded girl watches everything with wide eyes. Did she just say a charming angle suddenly being possessed by a demon? And what was up with cutting them like that? Were they vegetables?
Alex calmly walked to the girl who was still on the floor. His blood boiled in rage when he notice her cheeks. She had fingerprints on her cheek as if she was slapped. Alex felt so angry that he wished he could kill the damn busters all over again.
[Dead knights: Mercy, please have mercy on us.]
The hooded girl starred at Alex cautiously, She wondered how he managed to come out of such a battle without even a stain of blood on his clothes.
Alex stretched his hand to help the girl up. He felt jolts of electricity pass through his body as he felt her slid her soft warm hands into his. He pulled her up a little too hard that she gently smashed into his chest.
"Are you alright?" Alex's voice was soft and gentle. The bloodlust that was in his eyes a while ago was now non-existent.
Was this the demon that sliced those men into pieces?
Even though those men tried to harm her, she still felt bad for them. She wouldn't want anyone to die like that.
"Behind you!" The girl suddenly held. Alex turned in time for an arrow to pierce his chest, grazing his heart.
John's eyes widened. He did not notice the presence of the enemy lurking around.
Emerald could not explain why, but she felt her heart clench in pain as she saw her savior spit out blood.
"What's your name?" Alex said. His voice coming out raspy.
The girl was shocked. This guy just got an arrow in his chest and was asking what her name was. Was he not afraid that he would soon be dead and gone?
"I...I.I'm Emerald" the girl said. Her words earned her a smile from her mysterious savior.
"That is nice ...." Alex was unable to complete his sentence as more blood gushed out of his mouth.
"That is a nice name"
Alex said before everything went blank as he lost consciousness.
When John saw that Alex had fainted, he quickly walked over.
He held the arrow that was still in Alex's chest and yanked it out.
Emerald gasped at what John did. How could he just pull the arrow-like that?
"Don't worry he will not die," John said when he noticed the accusing gazes he was receiving from the girl. And why he said about Alex not dying was true. Alex wouldn't die even if another arrow was launched at him. He was a royal and a royal dying from a mere arrow was unheard of. Besides, Alex would eventually heal. He just needed some herbs to apply to Alex's wounds to hasten the healing process.
"Do you know where He could rest for a while?" inquired John. Emerald nodded like a rattle.
" I have a cottage in the forest. We could go there." Emerald said. It was the least she could do for him for saving her.
John carried the unconscious Alex on his shoulders and asked Emerald to lead the way.
