Chapter 1 - Sudden demise

The room was dark only using the low illuminiscence of the candles present.

"Finally the hybrid king has been caught". A man who seemed to be dressed in light armour said.

He held out a whip in his arm. In front of him was a tied up man. His hands were stretched apart as he was tied to a cross shaped stake. The man let out a loud cry as the whip touched his skin.

"is that all you got guard". the man said, his head facing the ground. Another lash was heard.

"Not so much of a king now, are you?". The proposed guard said.

The tied man simply curled up a smile on his lips as he bent his head downward.

He knew that this mere mortal was nowhere near him in strength and yet he had attracted ridicule to himself.

The invincible Hybrid king... Ridiculed by a mere mortal.

He couldn't take it anymore...

"You want to see a hybrid king..". the detained man said letting out a smile as he tilted his head forward. His iris then changed from it's golden colour to purple as he summoned whatever strength was left in his body.

"well then, watch closely".

Immediately, the flames on the candle went off and only the glow in his eyes could be seen.

The previously brave guard which stood fearless before the detained man now shivered in utter fear.

He had heard stories about the hybrid king and he knew the signs of death when he saw one.

Suddenly, the sound of chains and the splashing of a liquid were heard.

Soon, the lights came on and the previously detained man could be seen a few meters from the stake he was tied to standing tall with pride and blood dripping from his elongated claws. Behind him was the guard on the floor completely lifeless.

The door in front of him opened and over a hundred men could be seen.

Instead of cowering in fear like many would have done were they in his place, he simply smiled as he advanced towards the mob.

"Your king underestimates me".he said

Immediately, the men proceeded to attack. The man simply stretched his arm forward and a single word was uttered.

"HIMMICK"

The wild mob in front of him suddenly came to a standstill as if time had suddenly stopped.

"This is gonna be fun". The man again as he walked care-freely into the center of the men. Soon the halted men began to move again and then the strangest thing happened.

Instead of attacking the man who was proposed to be the hybrid king and who was also their previous target, the began to launch a killing assault on themselves.

The entire battlefield changed as cries of men filled the air.

More men were seen advancing towards him.

"Well let's get this over with, shall we". He said as he positioned his body to a battle stance.

As the first man came he swung out his nails and the man was sent flying away. He did the same for two other men.

"Let's end this shall we?".he said as the fourth man was now advancing towards him. The attacker halted in front of his arm which was stretched forward. The other men began to shiver in fear as the last time he did this, over a hundred men were killed.

His head tilted to their position and suddenly the men in front of him felt a chilling feeling climb through their spine.They knew that they were doomed to suffer the same date as their colleagues as soon they too were sent flying by an unseen force.

The man let out a smile as he proceeded to the tower in front of him.

Suddenly, his movements were stopped as he felt a cold object thrust through his back and potrude from his abdomen which forced him to let out a loud gasp.

The glow in his eyes vanished and the only thing that could be seen on his face was the look of surprise. A long sword was now seen, it's head protruding from his lower abdomen. He had been stabbed in the back.

He slowly tilted his head slowly to the direction of the killer and instead of expressing his anger, a usual smile showed on his face.

"I'm glad it was you". he said as his body thumped to the ground.

Suddenly, his body began to give out a white glow and the following words were heard:

"I will be back". he said as he let out his final breath.
