Chapter 10 - Death

"Rogues and Rangers, what a spectacle! Both are the best when it comes to agility and dexterity. Come play with me, yes?"

They all stared at each other and then launched their attacks on him. Like a fish in the water, they dashed speedily and with finesse. Displaying great control over their movements.

Daggers rained towards him and he deflected them. Nets and traps were sent and he just slashed them apart. Traps were ignored as he steps over them.

Ranger's arrows flung in his direction and he was repelling them. More came and all the ammo was scattered on the ground. Other dual wielder rangers clashed with him and then he would smack them with the back of his hands. Sending them to fly away.

Rogues then used their shadow skills and made their numbers greatly increased. Cloning themselves to more numbers.

Left and right, enemies stabbed him but he only chuckled. He then grabbed them and smashed their heads with each other.

They attacked again and then Doom rotated and kicked them. Sending them away from him.

It was then, that Fighters arrived at the fray. Doom picked pebbles and put them onto his fingers. Flicking it towards them.

Whoosh!

Boom!

One by one, Fighters were down after being hit on their forehead. They soon attacked but the pebbles didn't stop there. They still have to clash with him but they were down before they arrive. Some pebbles were hit on the hills and they exploded.

The Necromancers and Mages soon arrived. They soon put forth ranged spells on him, which he deflected one by one.

Necromancers summoned their minions and battled Doom. He smashed them and all were destroyed one-sidedly. Soon after, Mages cast their grand magics. Looking at the magical runes that were forming, Doom can only smile with glee.

"Oh Grand magics! Please grant me your pleasure! hahaha!"

Boom!

Doom was then blasted with their magic. The ground exploded and the smoke made a mushroom cloud.

"Is it finished?" asked one mage.

The smoke cleared and Doom was seen sitting on a rock. The ground has caved in and he was seen sucking a toothpick.

"Finished now?" Doom asked.

Telekinesis and Telepaths attacked him as well as time and spatial mages. The time was put to a halt on his radius but he just cleaved it with his sword. Telekinesis was also not affecting him and just moved unhindered. Even ripping the space itself. Telepaths were also using their earnest to damage his mind but it was they who were having a headache instead. He was unaffected by all those attacks on him.

Doom then attacked them and they went panicking. Their formation was then scattered. Upon his attack, he prepared his palm on hand.

"Don't die on my slap, please,"

He slapped one then its neck snapped.

"Oh, rest in peace."

They soon flee from him. Making him run after them. Numerous slaps then resounded in the vicinity.

Swordsmen then went towards him and they clashed with his sword. Slashes were made and their swords were sent flying with his smashes. He grabbed them in the head and then was smashed on the ground head-first. Others were smashed thrice till getting limp.

"Protect the King!" shouted his general beside him.

The Paladins soon huddled towards him and protected him. Mounted Holy knights then charged toward him while he was on his death mount.

All that attacked him roared and were clad with heavy full armors, lances aimed at him and swords ready to slash at his face.

Doom then draw his sword on his side and then jumped from his mount. He landed on the ground and then slashed the feet of the charging warhorse. Making them whimper in the process. They all crashed to the ground behind him.

Holy Knights and Paladins used their buffs and it made him have a hard time. They were a resilient kind of tribe that have great combat prowess.

Weapons clashed with his sword and it rang with every strike.

Paladins were able to hold their ground with his attacks and Holy Knights healed the wounded one by one.

It became a battle of attrition and Doom was left the only one standing. They all battled but they ran out of mana and stamina, also their skills expired.

It was then, that Doom charged toward the King. Many stood against his way and were only slashed in half. Leading towards the path of where the King was.

The General then protected the King with his last efforts. He drew his sword and then marched towards him.

"You will not come close to the King!" he shouted.

"Oh, I am already close enough. Would you mind stepping aside?" Doom said to him.

"I will not!"

"I know," Doom said lifelessly in a cold voice.

They clashed their swords but on their first hit, the General's sword was flung on the sheer force.

"How?" the General was bewildered.

"How you asked? Well, lots of strength stat crystals," He said then stabbed him in the abdomen with his sword. Twisting it then pulled it out.

"So long, I will miss your bewildered face," Doom said to him then tapped his shoulder pads. Marching forth towards the King.

The King was waiting for him to arrive as he didn't plan to back away. Courage was brimming from his eyes.

"You will not succeed in your plans!" he shouted.

"Nor will you, tell me King of Humans. What is your plan?" Doom asked. Sword was wiped with the clothes of the fallen soldier beside him.

"To kill you!"

"Ah, I guessed you will fail, why? I can't die!" Doom said as he smirked.

"Go back to where you came from! Ha!" the King shouted as he slashed him. Aimed on decapitating his neck.

"Ah, another fool. Do you think humanity is so pure? Even demons sometimes failed to compare to your evilness. Do you think you are all worthy as a race? I have seen deception in my eyes. There is no pure evil and no pure good in both races. Only death to the weak, and that is the truth in this unending wars we have seen," Doom said as he evaded his strikes.

"A King does not cower on death!"

"Oh, so be it. Can we start with the celebration of your death now? Your wife has to hear your last words. Or maybe you, hear her last words before your death? What do they call it? Advanced necrological mass?" Doom asked.

"Such boastful words without actions! You can't kill me, I am the King of Humans!...." said the King then blood spurted out of his mouth.

He was stabbed in the chest with Doom's sword without him knowing.

"You talk too much and it is not even funny. I am not enjoying it at all. Make it more enjoyable in your next life, if you have a second chance." Doom said to him.

It was at that moment, that the queen wailed as she saw her husband was stabbed in the chest. Pulled the sword then Doom decapitated him.

"No!!!" the queen shouted.

She dashed towards Doom and slashed him with her long sword. Casually evading them when he had a chance and other strikes were parried. Sparks were produced after a banging sound was the aftermath when their swords clashed.

"He said that he didn't fear death so I let him have a taste of it. But I am in a good mood, I will let you live as well as your heir. Continue your legacy, live, and build up your kingdom once again. I am disobeying the command I am given just for you," Doom said to her.

"Go die!" She shouted then slashed Doom in the face.

"Well, that path will be perilous. There will be no coming back,"

"I will kill you!" she slashed and Doom evades it.

"Ah, I think your emotions have dulled your decisions. Have you heard me? Live and rebuild your kingdom again. If not, I will end your lineage of royalty," Doom said as the last warning.

"How could you say that after killing my husband?!"

"Kings should pay the price of everything. He has led his men to their deaths. His death will save his men's lives. The same when he was dethroned, he has to get killed." Doom said coldly.

"Die!" she announced while running towards him.

"I can not and will not," he said then readied his sword.

She attacked him while cursing. Sword flickered in how fast she was.

"Ah, you annoy me. Here, catch your husband's head," Doom said to her then threw his head.

She caught it and then wailed after what she saw. She held him then became silent for a moment. She dashed and let out a roar towards him in pure anger. Tears were still welling in her eyes.

"Are you sure to go that path? Your husband is waiting for you, join him in the afterlife. At least you can talk there about your regrets. If you like, his head might suffice for now,"

"Arrrgggghhh!!!" she roared in pure anger, aiming to kill him with bloodshot eyes.

Doom slashed her without even blinking. Blood spewed forth and then the battle stopped. All the armies stopped fighting and then they all grabbed their helmets off their heads.

The human army surrendered and then the sky glowed. Roaring thunder was heard after eleven figures appeared from the sky.

"Ah, I see, the Eleven Guardians." Doom exhaled. Right hand on his waist then stabbed his sword on the ground.
