Chapter 35 - 33. A killer who knows no bounds

Adrelhael tossed a robe at the naked female at the foot of his bed. 

"I should have killed you, like I did to that idiotic father of yours" the blind god said. 

In tears the girl wrapped the robe around her body.

"You are of no use" Adrelhael said, as he walked to the window side, he moved his hand carefully, because he reached his sword. 

The girl gasped as he took out the sword from its sheath. 

"It's a shame that I have to kill you like this" he said coming closer to her. 

The girl pleaded continually, as she moved back. Her eyes widened when the sword was raised in the air.

Just when he was about to strike the sword at her, something fast flew in, and knocked his sword out from his hand. He waited and listened - there was a third person in this chamber, he sniffed the air, and exhaled slowly. Then a mischievous smile came upon his face. 

"Vledlamir" he said. "I know it's you" 

"I see that your senses have not failed you." Zander said. 

"I could pick out your smell from among a thousand" he told him, as he sat down on the bed.

"I'm flattered" Zander said, with a tone of sarcasm. 

Adrelhael chucked slowly, "I know you would come. And here you are, covered in the blood of my men. A killer that knows no bounds" 

Zander glanced at the scared girl on the ground. "Run" he told her. The girl looked up, scared to move at all. Whoever this was, has just saved her life - so she gathered enough strength and fled. 

"Long ago, the king's bastard was brought to me. He was too young, small -"

"Shut up" Zander said. 

"Vledlamir," 

"Do not call me that" Zander warned. 

"It's a shame, to know that you are still fighting with your past" 

"And it's a shame, that you are still preying on young girls" 

Adrelhael smiled, "Let's call it even then. I know that you are here to kill me, but my day of reckoning has not yet come" 

"Are you sure?" Zander asked, "because you are a dead god already" 

"You know better not to underestimate me. The eye is mere distraction, I taught you that, didn't I?" Adrelhael said as he stood on his feet, and with a step forward, he picked up his sword from the ground. 

"If you think that having sight evens the odds, think again" he said lastly before he immediately swung his sword at Zander, who rapidly dodged the sharp blade.

They engaged in a violent fight, as their swords clashed brutally against each other. In the midst of the fight, Adrelhael striked Zander numerous with his fist, before he yanked his sword from his hand, and trashed him to the ground.

"You are slow," Adrelhael informed, "are you tired?" he asked with a tone of mockery.

Zander coughed out blood, with a grimace - of course he was tired, he has just fought fifty well trained men all at once. 

Adrelhael came to him, "get up" he said kicking him mercilessly. Then he stopped and said. "One thing about you, is that you can take a beating. You have likened yourself with pain, made yourself unbreakable" he pulled him up from the ground, and added "but I made you, so I can easily break you" Adrelhael tightened his fist, ready to deliver a painful blow. But instantly Zander's caught his fist, just a few inches from his face.

"Break me" the great impaler repeated, "I'll like to see you try" even with Adrelhael's struggle, Zander dragged his fistful hand down vigorously, causing Adrelhael's arm bone to break. He groaned in pain - but that still didn't hinder their violent fistfight. They trashed and broke every piece of furniture, as they fought, even the walls were cracked. 

Adrelhael held Zander on the neck, and bashed his head severally on the wall. Zander dropped on the floor, his face covered with blood. Adrelhael went closer to where his sword lay, and picked it up.

"Let's end this now" he said as he stood over the lord impaler. He held the sword with both hands, and lifted it up with the sharp blade pointing downward.

He raised his sword higher, Zander watched as he sharp blade came down at him, instantly he held the blade with his bare hands. Adrelhael pushed further in, but Zander still held on tenaciously as blood started to streamed out of his hands. 

With a quick glance at his side, he sighted a broken candlestand. Without any delay he grabbed it, and stabbed it into Adrelhael's left thigh. The god lost his balance as he staggered backwards. 

Zander rose from the ground, with the sword in his hand he immediately stabbed him with the sword. Zander held him closely as he thrust the sword further in.

He could feel his inside tearing, "You taught me well" Zander whispered into his ears, as he thrust harder, rotating the sword. Adrelhael groaned as blood came from his mouth. 

The lord impaler pulled the sword out finally, leaving Adrelhael to fall on the ground, almost lifeless. Zander watched, as he bleed to death. He felt no remorse of any sort. 

With his very last breath, he said "A killer... that knows no bound."

And he died.
