It was nearly sunset for the sky looked nearly orange. As Xavier and Feran waited for the enemy to approach them, Benny got back up.
He looked sickly and pale. His brown curly hair was messy, his big round eyes were now half-closed and his walk was that of an old man's. He had brown curly hair, brown eyes, a bent nose, skinny structure, light skin.
As he got up, he said," Those traps won't be enough!" He limped to the field and started adding more traps. As he did so his consciousness was slowly leaving him as his vision looked blurry and he kept falling down. Even so, he cast and cast trap spells until he collapsed once again.
As they grabbed Benny, he looked half dead. He was dying from overuse of his mana. But why would he go that far? Simple actually, Benny had no one but his job as a knight, and if Feran and Xavier whom he considered partners died he wouldn't forgive himself. So he risked his so-called ' worthless ' life for them. A reckless and dumb idea indeed, however, it was true that those traps wouldn't be enough nor would Feran and Xavier. They could have armies and Xavier and Feran wouldn't know. Benny was already dying from a disease slowly and slowly. He only had fifteen more years to live so he sacrificed himself for them at that moment.
As they stood there calling and shouting Benny's name, Benny was slowly losing it. Even though he was dying, he looked back to see a strange man appearing from the shadows. He noticed the person slowly approaching them but could Feran nor Xavier sense them. Benny tried his hardest to raise his small and frail fingers to warn them but his body wouldn't let him.
Benny then mumbled quietly with his sickly voice," B-behind y-you."
As Feran heard this he drew his blade and thrust his sword. The shadow of a man immediately blocked from by moving his head. He then bent down, he made Benny drink a potion.
" There, you should be fine now." The person then sat down.
His face could now be seen now that he left the darkness. He had not too long and not short golden hair, blue rounded eyes, and his lips looked strawberries. He wore fancy black clothing too. He had a muscular finger, had a perfect nose, and held a magic staff. The magic staff was nearly as big as his body. The body of the staff was brown and the magic stone inside was huge and gold. The decorations were gold too. And rock-like decorations were making it look cool.
As Feran attacked the man, Benny shouted," Stop!"
Feran then stopped in motion," Why?" He looked to Benny in confusion.
Benny then replied," That man is Lord Loy's oldest son. He's an ally I can assure you."
' Looks too young to be a man but whatever, I won't know which legal age is a man in this world.' Xavier thought.
The man then replied," Yes, I am an ally. I'm Wayne as you heard I'm Loy's son. I too was tracking the enemy to get my revenge on them."
' This guy looks so calm and collected for someone who wants revenge. Normally they would be loud, idiotic, and impulsive but this guy is the soar opposite.' Xavier thought.
Wayne then said," Allow me to join you in this battle."
***
The man who stood behind Feran was no other than Wayne as they both waited patiently for the enemy to reach the gates. They then attacked all the enemies with both ice and earth attacks. While Xavier was covering them with electro spells. He summoned multiple lightning strikes that hit the enemy in different places. He had mastered the spell, Raiden's strike. His attacks weren't doing enough damage as Wayne and Feran's. It only hit down a few enemies. As they fought two groups of magic users approached them. One on Feran and the other on Wayne.
As Feran summoned an ice glacier at them. It broke into pieces before it could even get bigger. They attacked Feran at once.
" Now Feran!" Feran shouted as he did a backflip.
His ice glacier had now broken into water. And as he died a backflip, a lightning strike hit the enemy but they blocked it. Or was it so, they were struck with bolts of electricity. It was water that now flowed on the ground from Feran's failed ice glacier. Feran stood above the ground on a tree. Now that his group of foes was finished, he went to help out Wayne.
As Wayne fired a huge earth spike, the enemies jumped up into the air dodging it then plunge their swords to the ground. As Wayne was going to shield his fragile staff, Feran their attacks. And as their swords clashed, ice then formed from Feran's sword to theirs then freezing the enemies.
Feran and Wayne then turned around," Looks like the final enemy is here, The Harbinger of sudden death. A rogue murderous holy knight who attacks his own families and friends even killing his own soldiers. A legal serial killer."
' Sounds like you ripped off from this guy when you made up that guy in the wanted poster.' Xavier thought.
The Harbinger Of Sudden Death was five times bigger than them and wore black armor. And through the gap of his armor stood glowing red eyes which looked nothing like a human's. And he held a huge sword followed by a huge hammer both in his left and right hand. As Feran and Wayne attacked with ice and earth spells, The rogue holy knight slammed his hammer into the floor disrupting all their attacks. They then fired another row of attacks and before the rogue holy knight could stop them, he was shocked by Xavier's thunderbolt. The attacks then pierced through his body then Feran dealt the last blow. Blood splashes throughout the armor in different places. As Feran looked to turn to Xavier and Wayne, they looked terrified.
The holy knight called Harbinger of Sudden Death stood right behind Feran with his eyes more murderous than ever.
" Dad!" Xavier reached out to Feran.
And the moment looked up, he saw the enemy he had just killed still standing with no wounds whatsoever. The rogue holy knight was an undead. And a strong one.
