Chereads / Yellow Wolf / Chapter 12 - The Bloody Blade

Chapter 12 - The Bloody Blade

With a blade for a hand, Peter starts to laugh like crazy. "Lady, Lady.... This is for you!" Not even being able to stand straight due to his height, he lies on his four like a feral beast.

Running at us, I raise my blade to protect myself, but the sheer force sends me flying with him. While the ice managed to stop his claw-like hand from ripping me apart. I was sent flying through the concrete walls.

Stabbing my sword into the ground, I came to a stop. Raising my head, I saw a red blur fly at me from the side. It's his giant sword! Clashing my ice blade with his, I feel my waist twist.

Being knocked over, I hit my face on the concrete floor. Lifting his bloody blade above me, I see a black-and-white blur in the corner of my eye. It's Raven. His long hair flies in the air along his scarf.

Stabbing his ice spear through the giant's elbow, Peter's blade hand flinches, causing him to strike the ground next to me. Turning my head to the ravine-like hole, I wonder what I got my myself into.

No, I got Raven into this mess. He could have left me, but he stayed!

Jumping to my feet, I charge Peter. His giant body means a lot of power, but! If I move into his blind spots, I'll be able to get close enough to do some damage!

Focusing on Raven, Peter swings his blade like a crazed demon.

The entire station is in ruins, barely any walls still stand. Giving Peter enough space to finally stand up straight. Something which we really needed.

Running under his arm to his ankle, I cut his tendon.

Losing support on one leg, he takes a knee to not fall. Having had enough of my antics, he starts to stomp his other foot. Sending dust and debris shards everywhere, I see Ravne get hit by one of the shards while running on a wall.

Falling into the rubble, I barely have enough time to notice the blade fly at me. With Raven down for the game, Peter focuses fully on me.

"Oh no" Running into the debris, the fight quickly turns into a whack-a-mole scenario. Where every time even a blur of my green hair shows, Peter proceeds to smash that area into fine powder.

Running through the rubble, I noticed something. His cut-up leg is no longer moving. Spotting almost like ramp rubble, I feel my face twist. Touching my cheeks, I can't help but laugh.

I'm smiling. Did I go mad? No, I have been crazy ever since these bastards destroyed our dojo!

Dashing out of the debris, I jump off the ramp. Stabbing my blade into his leg, I spin on the handle until I have enough momentum to jump on his arm.

Sprinting up his body, from arm to shoulder, he tries to get me off with his other hand. "Shit!" Not even being able to react a large white fog envelops his arm. "I got it! Take care of him!"

It's Raven, Bloddie, and Bruside.

Smiling at him, I stab the sword into his shoulder not even getting a reaction from him. I click my tongue. "How about this?!" Tightening the grip on my sword, I jump down his body.

"ROA!!!" Roaring in pain, I cut his entire side open. Pulling out my blade, I hear Raven.

"Move!" Striking rubble with his spear. Small frost begins to grow on the debris.

With a flick of his wrist, it's raised into the air. Flying straight into Peter's wound like rockets, blood splurts everywhere and the beast.... is down.

Stumbling on my feet, I rest against a half-destroyed wall. Finally realizing what had happened, I get a throbbing pain in my chest. Thinking that this is how I'm going to die, I see Raven fall into a sitting position next to me.

"Chest?" Nodding my head, I see him smile. "Congrats, welcome to the big league now."

Not understanding what he's getting at, I see him dig into his pockets. Pulling out a pack of gum, he pops one into his mouth. "Want one?" Nodding my head again, he places one on my tongue.

"Why does this feel like a kid's version of smoking a cigarette after a badass moment?" Making Raven choke on his gum, I hear. "You're the dumbest fuck I know. We might be 17 but if 14-year-olds smoke, I don't see why we shouldn't... HELL! We literally just killed a guy! We're definitely not following the law!"

Laughing, I spit out the gum and close my eyes to get some rest.

......

Seeing Ken fall asleep, Raven stumbles to his feet. Wobbling towards the fallen Peter, whose body has shivered up. He places his hand on the mask. Taking it off, he reveals a brown-haired individual.

"Peter" Taking really weak breaths, one would think he's dead, but the tenacity of this man.

"Raven.... you..." Not getting to finish, Raven pulls out a photo of a Lantern tattoo. "Does your lady have this on her neck?"

With his eyes wide, Peter demands to know how he knows of his Lady's precious tattoo! But instead of getting a response, his head is crushed under Raven's heel.

"Haha" Even though Peter's head is crushed, he starts to laugh like crazy.

"Raven~! Don't tell me you're still thinking about her... " Facing the deformed face, Raven whispers. "Lilith."

Laughing at him, she mocks his incompetence. "You can kill as many of my people as you want, but none of them will bring Al-"

*B-B-Bang* Firing his pistol at the mangled head until there's nothing left, a single whisper in the air can be heard.

"She's gone~"

Turning to the sleeping Ken, Raven chuckles.

"It seems like our path is connected. I made the right decision to stay with you."
