Chereads / Ballad of the Crows / Chapter 12 - Drum Island

Chapter 12 - Drum Island

Dabi: I guess the king must have a castle where he ruled over this place, I guess I will follow this direction.

While using geppo to advance into the forest covered in white, after advancing for 4 hours he could see in the distance a white structure with blue tones, it was a giant palace where King Wapol lived with his family.

Dabi: So, if there was a castle where the king of this place is, I guess now I can stretch a little, it's been a long time since I fought with anyone.

Dabi stayed at a safe distance where the guards could not find him, stayed there to observe the behavior of the place, to come up with a plan.

From the door of the castle came out a man wearing a long orange suit, and a yellow cape with afros on each end, has a large afro on his head, and three small ones in his beard he is also wearing a pair of black afro style gloves, was being escorted by 15 guards.

So hours passed and a man was seen wearing a green and blue jester like outfit, a white winter cloth and a bow with a bag of arrows with it, was wearing a blue-green pointed hood on his head with 20 guards beside him.

Dabi: I guess those men must have some position to carry more than 10 men as an escort, now I just have to identify the prince.

Soon it started to get dark coming the night, when it was already late at night, you could see the man wearing an afro who was with many more men than when he had left the castle hours before.

Dabi: I guess that's the prince has hair like the captain described, and is being escorted by a considerable amount of men.

This man had mushroom hair, wears what appears to be a mask on his face, and a black beard, he also wears royal armor with a violet cloak covering his right side, orange pants, soft shoes, and a weasel fur scarf on his left shoulder.

Dabi: Tomorrow I will attack the castle, I can infiltrate through a window on the upper floors, using a fire as a distraction, causing most of the guards to leave.

The next morning Dabi set a fire near the castle, and then infiltrate through a window of the castle.

Inside the castle.

Soldier: Prince Musshuru, there is a fire outside the castle, try not to go out.

Musshuru: Those stupid peasants dare to provoke the royal family... just wait for them to put out the fire, I will find the culprit myself!

As Dabi entered the castle, heard someone shouting.

Dabi: That must be King Wapol or the prince.

The instant Musshuru finished shouting Dabi appeared down a hallway.

Dabi: This is the prince the captain told me to capture, doesn't look like much.

Musshuru: Who are you? Why are you walking around the castle Guards Capture him!

At that moment the 2 guards that were next to him rushed in Dabi's direction, who just threw a blast of fire at the guards burning them, Dabi started walking in Musshuru's direction while the two men were burning alive.

Musshuru: Shadow Dance

Throwing spores out of his mouth at extreme speed.

What Musshuru didn't expect was that his attack would go right through Dabi, who didn't flinch at the attack.

Dabi: I didn't expect you to be so weak... Flashfire Fist!

Dabi launched a devastating flame attack, which not only devoured Musshuru's attack, but also burned Musshuru.

Musshuru: HAAAAAAAAAAGGGG... DAMMIT.

Dabi: That's enough I don't want to get myself killed before the captain.

After saying that the flames that enveloped Musshuru dissipated, leaving burns all over his body.

Dabi: Maybe I went too far... still breathing, he won't die soon so I'll leave him here while I bring King Wapol.

After that he went down towards the throne of the castle, not to say that he met dozens of guards who were burned alive, until he was stopped by Kuromarimo along with another dozen guards who were next to him.

Kuromarimo: Stop there damn you, who do you think you are to attack this castle.

Dabi did not give it any importance and continued walking without concern.

Kuromarimo: I said stop it damn it....

Seeing that the man with the forehead was not paying attention to him Kuromarimo decided to attack.

Kuromarimo: Bikkuri Marimo.

Approaching and hitting with his glove from which began to protrude spikes, but what Kuromarimo did not expect is that his blow pierced the enemy in front of him.

Chess: What the hell are you doing Kuromarimo, why the hell still not finish with the intruder.

Dabi just looked at them and said.

Dabi: If you're trash, at least burn and light my flames... Flaming Storm.

Expelling bursts of flames all over his body causing a huge explosion inside the castle.

Pov Laffitte:

Laffitte: I guess I'll just find a local and get the information out of him about the Bighorn people and the man the captain is looking for.

After following for some time him found a group of locals who were lighting a campfire.

Laffitte descended from the sky at a safe distance so that they would not see him, then he began to stalk them through the darkness causing small noises around the group.

Laffitte: Good evening my dear friends.

All the men were frightened when they heard the voice coming from the darkness, so they grabbed their axes, but the more they could see of the man the more afraid they became.

Laffitte approached them from the darkness while twirling his staff.

Laffitte: My friends, I'm sorry to bother you... I just need a little information.

Villager: Why should we do it, you're a stranger who appears in the middle of the night.

Laffitte: I am being kind my dear friends.

Locals 2: Get the hell out of here you freak.

Laffitte: hohohohohohoho, you don't know how happy you make me to hear your answer, hohohohohoho.

After saying that Laffitte unsheathed his Shikomizue, and launched himself in the direction of the group of villagers, leaving them all incapacitated, and then began to torture them until the first rays of the sun began to rise.

When Laffitte finished torturing them, the poor villagers were not even recognizable as human.

Laffitte: So that man's name is Dalton and he is a man well liked by his people, it's time to go to Bighorn village.

Him started walking through the forest for hours until him could spot a small village.

When he got a little closer the first thing he saw was the man he was looking for, who was heading into the forest to get some firewood.

Laffitte: hohohohoho, you are making things very easy for me my dear Dalton.

He went to Dalton, who was cutting some logs.

Laffitte sneaked up and unsheathed his Shikomizue and cut off Dalton's left arm and then hit him hard on the head causing him to fall unconscious.

Laffitte: This is as stealthy as a person can be, hohohoho.

Laffitte at that moment heard a huge explosion coming from the east.

Laffitte: Looks like Dabi is having fun on his mission, well I got what I was asked for, it's time to go back.

After saying that Laffitte lifted Dalton from the ground to carry him by his arm, and go to the place where him had come from.

Pov Katahara.

Katahara: I wonder how they knew which direction to go....

After getting off Katahara stowed the ship in her ring.

Katahara: Then let's go Augur, we must find Tew.

Van Augur: Robelle city is not far from here captain, you should be able to get there shortly.

Katahara lit a cigarette and they started walking for a little while in which they could make out a fairly flat city with condensed wooden buildings, but before they reached the city there was a large bridge connecting to the city.

Katahara: I guess Tew must be the one who helped build these buildings.

Van Augur: It looks like it captain.

When they reached the city they began to wander through the streets until they came to a building.

Van Augur: Tomas Tew, it's been a long time my friend.

He was a man of about 27, with pale skin, short lead colored hair, a pair of bright pale blue eyes with no pupils and an emotionless, lazy expression, him wore a blue-gray tunic with dark brown stitching along with white pants and black shoes.

Tomas Tew: Who?
