Chapter 14 - THIRTEEN

I'm glad that I noticed that these members of the Air Flame Guild wear cameras from the start and disabled it without them noticing it from the start, to eliminate any footage of what happen here inside the dungeon, especially of what will be happen now. I kneeled in front of the injured members of Air flame guild to state my demands.

"I will be honest to you, even from the start, you and your members cannot defeat the Kaluhi tribe, especially now in your state, I know that I am much weaker than you, but I know something's that you don't, and I can do something about getting us all out of here, my only demand is that whatever you all will be witnessing, kept it a secret even from your guild master or I will come for you"-Demetri.

They all look at each other and talk about it fast, and in the end they make up a decision.

"We will, so please make sure we come out here alive"-Air Flame Guild Team Leader.

"I will"-Demetri.

I call out Stephan and Alice to tell them something, and I tell them fast because Gayron is making his move and if I not face him fast this barrier is done for.

"Stephan, I want you to deplete any attacks and be aware of any sneak attacks from Gayron or the any other centaurs, that will be coming in your way, because Centaurs can be dirty in battle, I will ask a battle of leaders with Gayron, he might be out of his mind, but I know he will honor that"-Demetri.

"You can count on me Demetri, but are you sure you won't be needing any help"-Stephan

"Yes, I want to do this alone, Alice I want you to boost Stephan, here's some mana potion in case of mana emergency, here some too Stephan"-Demetri

I give Alice and Stephan the rest of my mana potion.

"How about you Demetri? You might need this mana potions more than us"-Alice

"I can manage don't worry"-Demetri.

After finishing taking to them. I exited the barrier and faced Gayron and his men.

The moment I exited the barrier, I shout out loud to Gayron that I want a duel of leaders, the last man standing gets to do whatever he wants to do with the loser. Gayron laughed and said that he honor my wishes. He shouted at his men to back down and not to make any move. While we were staring eye to eye, I am thinking of ways how to defeat Gayron. I need to be faster to at least cut him and activate the paralysis, what can I do? what is the right move to do?

I move away from the others when I see Gayron taking out his axe from his sub space and strike it in my location creating a large hole on the ground. It makes the earth shake, making us feel that anytime the dungeon will collapse. I keep on avoiding Gayron's attacks while thinking of a way on how to defeat him. An attack that I missed give me a large bruised on the back, making me bleed so much, I need to strengthen this body more. I help myself get up and again avoid his every attack even if its very hard for me to move.

"Is that all you can do? Avoid my attacks"-Gayron.

He laughed loudly while mocking me. I saw him gaze in where the others are located and launch an attack on their way. I manage to get there on time and help Stephan to deflect the attack. I can also feel Alice healing me.

"How are you?"-Alice

"Got a large bruise on the back but I'm okay, thank you"-Demetri.

I faced Gayron and said to him to honor their ways, that this battle is only between us. He laughed and say his amusement of what is happening. While he was laughing, I launched an attack towards him but he was fast to notice it and deflects it. As I was again avoiding, I slip, I'm glad that I get up quickly and avoid that launch attack because with that force it would kill me.

Because of that slip, I now come up with one way to defeat Gayron. I activated a large magic circle under Gayron and shouted the slip spell, making Gayron loose his balance and fall on the ground. I take that opportunity, inflict multiple stabs on him, and activated paralysis anytime because I know it will not work with just one activated paralysis. Now that he was completely paralyze, I stab him one last time, in his heart, killing him.

He's face becomes more lighter and comes back to normal, a black smoke soar outside of him, must be the sign that the corruptness leave him. My tears begin to fall down, never in my life I thought about this day will come, me fighting and killing one of the closest friends I have but it was not yet over, I also need to free his men from the corruption.

With all my strength, I use Gayron's ax and my stealth to kill all of his remaining men. I also use the slip spell to make it more easier. After I ended it all, I fall on my knees and cried.

I feel a hand landing on my shoulder and it was Alice. I wiped off the tears on my cheeks and walk back to where the others are from.

"Thank you for saving us"-Team leader of Air Flame Guild.

"I have one final request, can I keep the boss body"-Demetri.

"I know it will be against in our guild policy, but we will not be alive because of you, I will allow you to take it" - Team leader of Air Flame Guild.

"Thank you, you could just tell them that the old mage centaur is the boss of the dungeon"-Demetri.

I went back to where Gayron is and was about to put a invisibility spell on him, when I saw something written on his arm, when I realize what it is. I rush towards his chair and there it is, his son, completely okay and no sign of darkness is affecting him. I apply a mist on him to make him appear like a bag and carry him on my shoulder while I apply an invisibility on Gayron's body to hide it when they collect the loots of the dungeon.
