Leona and the butler started preparing essential things they will need during the escape,
Pete goes for a walk around the village the last time but didn't see a single villager,
He worriedly checked the fields but didn't find anyone there too,
He hurried back to the house and told everyone about the disappearance of the villagers,
Leona said,
"We have to escape now "
Pete said,
"But what about the villagers "
Leona said,
"They will let them go if they don't find us here "
Pete nodded and they all hurriedly got out of the house leaving everything behind,
But had to stop just outside their home,
The human soldiers were surrounding their house with tied up villagers and their swords pointing at their necks,
An elf with a sword and a dwarf with a giant hammer walked through the soldiers,
They stopped a little bit away from Pete and others.
The elf said,
"Surrender or we will kill these villagers."
Pete unsheathed his sword,
The dark energy from the sword excluded fear that affected the soldiers,
Their bodies began to tremble from the ominous energy of the sword,
The elf said,
"Put that sword back otherwise we will kill these villagers "
The elf and the dwarf were fine that shows that they are high ranking warriors,
Leona said,
"Pete stop, there are only half of the villagers here. "
Pete looked around and said,
"Where are the rest of the villagers "
The elf said,
"They are somewhere else and if we don't go back safely, they will be killed "
Pete was ready to kill the elf but calmed his anger and unsheathed his sword,
"Let them go, I will come with you "
The dwarf took out a black metal collar with red magic circle engraved in it and said,
"You have to wear this first "
Pete looked at the collar and said,
"What is it? "
The dwarf said,
"This will make sure you won't disobey us "
Leona said,
"I don't have a good feeling about that collar "
The butler said,
"Yes, that collar doesn't look right "
Pete asked the dwarf,
"What would that collar do? "
The dwarf said,
"I told you already, this is just a precaution that you don't attack us "
Morsh looked at the collar and the magic circles engraved on it and said,
"Don't wear that, it has the enslavement spell engraved on it "
Pete eyes widened when he heard this and said,
"How can you be so sure? "
Morsh said in a frustrated voice,
"Are you retarded... your enemy is giving you a collar and saying with that you can't disobey them "
"And you are doubting someone that is capable enough to dispel that "
Pete smiled and said to the dwarf,
"I will wear that enslavement collar, but you have to release the villagers first "
The dwarf said,
"We are no negotiating here, either wear this or we will kill the villagers "
Morsh said,
"They will kill these villagers even if you wear that collar "
Pete said to the dwarf,
"No either you let them go or I am not wearing that collar even if you kill them "
The elf smiled and said,
"As you wish hero "
He then signaled the soldiers,
The soldiers started killing the villagers one by one,
Pete eyes widened and his mind went blank for couple of seconds as he saw the villagers dying,
For Pete, it's like the time has slowed down as he saw the sword slicing the necks of the villagers,
He instinctively unsheathed his sword and with lightning speed cuts down the heads of the soldiers,
Even the elf and dwarf only saw a blur of Pete beheading the soldiers and blood splattering all over,
Pete has brought back the villagers to his side and Leona and butler were untying them,
Pete then pointed his sword towards the elf and dwarf and said,
"Now tell me where are the rest of villagers "
The elf raised his hands and said,
"I don't want to die, I will call my soldiers and they will bring them back, just let me go "
Pete nodded and said,
"Don't make me wait,
An untied villager walked behind Pete and said,
"I know the location of the villagers "
Pete was surprised when he heard the villager behind him,
'How did he get this close to me with the pressure of the holy sword '
Before he could turn, another untied villager stabbed Leona, the butler and Luna with small knife,
As soon as Pete turned, the man behind him also stabbed him with a short knife,
Pete looked at the man's face and said,
"You are not from the village "
He then stabbed him with the dark holy sword,
Leona had killed the man that stabbed them but all three of them also lost consciousness and fell on the ground,
Pete hurriedly ran over to them and found out dark spots in their skin,
Pete turned around and grabbed the elf with his neck with lightning speed and said,
"What have you done to them "
The dwarf said,
"They are poisoned but how are you still awake "
Pete threw the elf to the side and grabbed the dwarf and said,
"Give me the antidote "
The dwarf said,
"Wear the collar and I will give you the antidote "
Pete aggressively checked the dwarf for the antidote but didn't find it,
So he checked the elf and didn't find it on him either,
The dwarf said,
"Do you think we are stupid enough to carry the antidote with us "
Pete angrily said,
"Give me the antidote or I will kill you "
The elf said,
"They will die in a minute and the little girl would be the first one to die "
"So either wear the collar or watch them die "
Pete turned back to look at them and saw the dark spots on their skins and their body twitching,
He looked at the collar and then looked at Luna,
He snatched the collar from the dwarf's hand and wore it,
The magic circle shone with red light as soon as he wore the collar,
His body froze for a couple of seconds and then he opened his eyes,
The elf took out a bottle of antidote from the dead body of a soldier and fed it to Leona, butler and Luna,
Their body stopped twitching and their skin slowly started turning back to normal,
Pete was now speechless and was regretting not searching the bodies of the soldiers,
But alas, he can't do anything now as the collar has already been activated,
The elf and the dwarf began to laugh as more soldiers arrived with the remaining villagers,
The soldiers captured Leona, butler and Luna and started killing the villagers,
Pete was watching the villagers being brutally killed one by one but can't do anything,
Tears began to fall from his eyes as he shouted,
"Stop!!!! "
The dwarf, elf and Pete himself was surprised that he could talk with his own will,
The elf said to the dwarf,
"Hey, what's happening here.... how is he talking? "
The dwarf was more confused as they were the one that created the collar and there was no fault,
"No we tested the collar and there was no fault with it "
Pete then tried to move his body and surprisingly he could move but only minimum movements,
This surprised the dwarf even more as he stared at the collar,
Pete was happy that he could move but it was still not enough to stop the soldiers from killing villagers,
In desperation only one person came to his mind and he unwillingly asked for his help,
"Morsh, please help me... I will do anything if you could save the villagers "
Morsh said,
"I want control over the body "
Pete said,
"I can't undo the restrain but I can give you couple of minutes a day "
Morsh thought,
'It's better than no control "
Morsh said,
"Okay, but how would I take control "
Pete said,
"I can make a door through the restrain but the door only lasts for couple of minutes "
Morsh sighed and said,
"Okay but don't forget your promise. "
The elf said,
"Why are you talking to yourself? "
The dwarf was just standing confused while thinking about the collar and its error,
The soldiers have killed couple of villagers and were killing more with every passing second,
The elf was smiling with a pride look on his face while looking at Pete,
Suddenly, his smile vanished, the hands of the soldiers killing the villagers stopped and the dwarf's eyes widened,
Morsh has taken over the body and was excluding fear that froze everyone in the vicinity,
The villagers were normal people, so they lost consciousness,
Morsh channeled the dark energy in the body and was surprised,
'Several organs including heart has been recreated with dark energy, his bones and even blood is recreated with dark energy... this guy's life is dependent on me '
Morsh didn't insert the dark energy in the necklace but just severed the connection for some time with dark energy,
He then lifted the dark holy sword and was surprised again,
'This sword has collected so many souls '
Morsh took all of the souls from the sword and puts more dark energy on the sword increasing its strength,
He then looked at the soldiers frozen up because of the fear,
He sliced their head so precisely and with a speed so fast that even their heads didn't fall, and their blood was still flowing through their veins,
Even Pete only saw a blur from his soul space and was surprised too,
'How is he this strong with the same body, Even I can't keep up with his speed... '
Morsh was now standing in front of the elf,
The elf's eyes were wide open as his forehead was sweaty and mouth has dried up with fear,
Morsh was about to stab the elf when Pete took control over the body,
Morsh's soul was forcefully sent back to his soul space,
But Pete now can't move with his sword just a couple centimeters away from the elf's heart,
The fear excluded by Morsh was also lifted up and the elf and dwarf came back to their senses and began breathing heavily,
The soldiers also inhaled to take a breath, but their heads fell on the ground instead,
The elf's eyes widened with shock as he saw heads of the soldiers falling,
He then saw Pete and his sword was just a few centimeters away from his chest,
The elf took a few steps back and said to the dwarf,
"Hey your collar is not working "
The dwarf said,
"Look he is not moving now... I think the collar took time to completely control him "
The elf also realized that Pete is not moving a single bit now,
A smile came up on his face and he commanded some simple commands like raise hand, open mouth and roll around,
Pete followed every command and with this the elf was convinced that Pete was now in full control,
Pete can feel everything he was doing but can't control his body even a bit,
'So the collar has taken full control over my body now '
Morsh was smiling in his soul space with all of the souls he got from the sword but was thinking,
'He said couple of minutes but I only took control for couple of seconds '
