Chapter 44
(Town invasion, Pt 2 of 5)
Hannah Pov:
Emma has been gone to long so I convinced my father to send a knight squad with me. We went out to see the Mansion completely Destroyed! We then heard fighting from the back of the mansion and went around back to look.
There was Jake enveloped in white, there was also Emma, Dallas, and Ellison in a white chamber. It was a square box slightly see through, I looked to see Dallas and Ellison unequipped for this weather. But they were not shivering, the ground inside the chamber had no snow as well.
We heard the Demon scream to see it had lost it's arms. Jake had cut them off and they were smoking! How had he just done that if he is unconscious. But before we can do anything someone yells, "What the hell is going on here?!"
I look to see a Hunter Boshu, on top of the rubble, of the mansion. He looks seeing what just happened and then he freezes. I follow his gaze to see Jake fall and start to convulse. The Poison's taking effect, and the worst thing is, it is Hunters birthday!
"Hannah, Give him this! I'll take care of the Demon!," He calls throwing something to me. I reach up to catch it, but it just misses, it's going to hit the ground, but I don't hear anything. I look to see that Emma had dashed behind me and caught it.
"What happened to Reynold?," I ask curious but she doesn't answer.
"We don't have time, we need to get this to Jake!," Emma says disregarding me. The knights get into a formation defense as Hunter pushes the Demon away. We run forward as two knights put cloaks on Ellison and Dallas and take them to safety.
We get to Jake as there is an explosion knocking us off our feet. We look to see hunter had been thrown into the ground. I take the medicine bottle that had been cracked and dribble the liquid into Jake's mouth. "That man killed my brother, I sent monsters to kill him, they failed yet again, so I will finish the job, and you cannot stop me!," The demon says, voice growing ever louder in rage, as it regenerates its arms.
"Get out of here!," A very hurt hunter, who is bleeding yells. I grab Jake and make a run for it with Emma as the knights watch our backs. But the next thing I know I am falling and hearing screams. The screams are from the Knights, Hunter, Emma, and, Me?!
I look to see my right foot had been cut off. "Hannah!," Someone yells and I look to see my father running towards me as the ground collapses. Me, Emma who had also lost a foot, the dead knights, Hunter, and the demon, are enclosed by earth. There is no way out.
I am still screaming when I am able to feel my right foot. I look down to see a green light enveloping it, healing it. I look to see the demon stumbling backwards, I look to see the unconscious Emma also healing. I see Hunter also enveloped by the light, but still unable to move twenty five feet away. Then I look to see Jake was not in my arms, he was standing, casting the magic, as I fell unconscious.
Jake Pov:
I don't know exactly what happened while I was poisoned, but I know one thing for sure. We are in deep trouble, why is a Demon here? The first thing I had seen was the girl carrying me away from the Demon.
Hunter had been fighting the Demon, Emma was running with the girl. She was holding my old sword from that time. What happened while I was out, why didn't my poison resistance kick in, and why was I in Arbigagan?!
I take my sword from the unconscious Emma as I healed her, Hunter, and the girl. I had heard someone calling for her but I had not caught the name. Currently in the earth Dome, I was the only one awake, other than the demon.
"Why are you here?," I asked the Demon curious.
"You killed my brother over two months ago, don't you remember!," He yelled at me charging up Mana.
"I haven't the faintest clue about what you are talking about. What month is it, I got poisoned and knocked unconscious in November, what month is it now?," I ask curious.
"Don't try to wiggle yourself out of this now Bastard! It is February now so I have no reason to believe you!," He yells as he charges. I have been unconscious for four months! I hope I didn't miss Hunters birthday yet.
He throws a punch and I dodge to the left. My sword is a Magic one I haven't used in years, but it does the job. The runes make it so I don't have to use as much mana to imbue magic. I imbue it with Explosion and stab him in the chest as he sees the sword more closely.
"You, how, that is impossible! Nobody can live that long! No human can live sev—!," I don't let him finish as the explosion happens destroying him.
"Area sense, five miles!," I cast at a limited range as to not overload my mind. Taking that in I count around five thousand monsters in that area. Around a thousand are Demon spiders, Demon wolves, and Hell hounds. All the people are in a safe place currently, but I just can't destroy everything.
There are also two hundred and fifty Great demon spiders, Great demon wolves, Great hell hounds, Great wolves, and something else. I have never encountered it before, but it seems to be forced to do something. I also sense a Greater Demon, that is something I haven't encountered in ages.
I guess I got a lot of things to do to keep everyone safe. I guess I should also use transformation magic to hide who I am.
