And at that time, somewhere else inside the castle in the city:
Soldier: Commander Osama, the city walls have been attacked by a group of ogres, and the knights failed to protect them. Several knights were severely injured, and some were easily killed.
Osama: Hahaha! What useless knights they are! The scum of the ogres managed to take them down. My God, the knights are in constant decline.
This brings back some memories. How many years has it been since I fought, I wonder? Well, I think I need to warm up a little.
And on the other side with the brothers...
Ahmad: Aaadil! Run and leave me behind! You must save yourself!
Adil: Don't be ridiculous! Anyway, we have no chance to escape. I think this is the end, my brother.
The ogre raised his hammer, and with one blow, he tossed them away.
Ahmad:"Breathing heavily" Adil! I can't breathe! Blood is covering my face! Adil, can you hear me? Adil, answer me! Adil!
Ahmad heard the ogre's heavy footsteps approaching him, shaking the ground and the trees.
Ahmad: Why did we even come here? How foolish I am! Idiot! I always thought I could handle the toughest situations. But what now? Am I dying from the weakest of monsters? I couldn't protect my brother. I guess this is the end... If only I were stronger, none of this would have happened to us. I really regret it; I think it's time to die, my brother.
The ogre came and grabbed him with its massive hands, making Ahmad feel like his head would explode from the strength of its grip.
Without warning, the ogre roared from pain, and its blood splattered everywhere.
Ahmad fell to the ground, barely able to open his eyes, and all he saw was the blonde hair of a beautiful girl and a pleasant fragrance. After that, he lost consciousness.
Several hours later...
Ahmad: Ugh! My head hurts! Why do I hear the sound of carts around me? Oh, I'm in the middle of the city? How did I survive?
Noor: Are you okay, boy?
Ahmad: What happened? How did I survive the ogre?
Noor: I defeated it. You and that person were severely injured.
Ahmad: Adil, is he okay? Please tell me he's okay!
Noor: He's in the hospital getting care. Rest.
The sound of the city bell rang.
Soldier: Citizens of the city, all the monsters have been defeated by Commander Osama!
Noor: Just as expected from my father, he never slacks off.
Osama: Noor, is that you? Were you playing with the monsters? Hahaha! Anyway, what is this? A young boy?
Noor: Yes, Father, they were about to be devoured by the monsters, and I saved them.
Osama: Hahaha! It seems I trained you well, girl!
Osama: Have you ever heard the story of the three heroes? I really loved it when I was young.
It is said that long ago, monsters emerged from nowhere and began wreaking havoc on the earth. However, at the same time, three individuals appeared with markings resembling tattoos. They began to gain strength and skills and managed to confront the monsters and the monster leaders until that day came when a fierce battle took place between the King of Monsters and the three individuals. Thousands of lives were lost, and it was a deadly battle in which the three individuals triumphed while on the brink of death, and they were thereafter titled the three legendary heroes. The power began to be passed down from generation to generation, and people began to venerate the heroes. However, the monsters started to disappear after the legendary heroes defeated the King of Monsters. Peace lasted for a long time, and as a result, subsequent generations became weaker and weaker until they became insignificant, with their only interests being money and women. One day, when I was young, one of the monster generals appeared and single-handedly eliminated the three heroes—referring to the current three misfits. After that, we began training knights and engaged in countless bloody battles, becoming the great power in this world. We haven't witnessed the birth of a hero again for 30 years, and surprisingly, the appearance of monsters has been increasing, and no hero has been born yet.
Osama: It might sound like a silly fairy tale, but it motivated me when I was young. But don't worry, boy; as long as there is evil, there is good to counter it. We will always protect you with our lives and bodies. That's why we knights exist, and our greatest goal is to protect humanity from any...
"Boom!"The sound of the city walls crashing.
Noor: Father, didn't you kill all the monsters?
Osama: Yes, but it seems I forgot some troublemakers.
Step by step, the sound of a heavy sword clanging.
(I am one of the monster generals, the Shadow General. Who dared to eliminate my followers?)
Osama: Noor, take the boy and clear the area. The city might be destroyed amidst this battle.
Shadow General: You, foolish old man. Submit to me now, and I might consider sparing your life.
Osama: Hahaha, it seems you have forgotten your place, monster. No, I mean shadow insect!!
Shadow General: When will you learn your limits, weak humans?
Osama: Hahaha, you've really grown too old for battle. Osama drew his sword.
Shadow General: One strike is enough to bring you down, old man. "Shadow Strike!"
(It was a powerful strike that unleashed a force of shadows, shattering anything in its path.)
Shadow General: Bwahahaha! You vanished with just one strike. What a pitiful human...
Osama: It seems you forgot about me behind you!!
Osama delivered a powerful strike with his sword, but the Shadow General managed to dodge it.
Shadow General: It seems it's time for me to play with you seriously! *"Shadow Capture!"*
(Shadow Capture: A skill that allows him to replace any material or being with any shadow in front of him.)
Osama: What? Noor, the boy? How did he pull them over there?
Shadow General: "Shadow Strike!"*
Noor: His attack is directed at me; I must dodge! But the boy can't escape!!
Noor drew her sword and attempted to block the attack with all her might in an effort to save Ahmad.
Ahmad: Are you okay? Your body is trembling fiercely, and your legs can't stand!!
Noor: This is nothing, boy. Run quickly now; you're just an obstacle amidst this battle.
Shadow General: "Laughs" Humans are amusing, bwahahaha!
Osama: Hey, shadow insect, have you forgotten to protect your back again?
Osama struck the general hard in the back.
Shadow General: Old man, you have decent speed for a human.
Osama: Hahaha! To be praised by a monster general is a disgrace to me. Well, let's start the real battle now!!
Noor and Ahmad: What is this pressure we're feeling? My legs can't stand because of this pressure!!
The final battle began between the Shadow General and the Commander of the city.
Noor: What incredible speed! Has my father always been this strong? Hah, what a joke! Did I really plan to outmatch him in strength? Impossible!!
Their swords began to clash at lightning speed. A normal human wouldn't be able to track their movements. Energy pressure filled the area, and houses were being destroyed around the battlefield, but!!
Shadow General: Alright, it seems I've enjoyed myself enough. "Awakening the Beast!"
The Shadow General lunged at Osama. Osama tried to deflect the strike with his sword, but his sword broke!! The general landed a powerful kick to Osama's stomach and sent him flying.
Noor: Father!
Shadow General: "Shadow Capture!"*
Noor vanished and suddenly appeared before him.
Noor: Damn it! I must fend him off! I won't let him destroy more!
Drip...
Noor: What? I can't feel my body! I feel cold in my stomach?
She looked down and saw the general's sword embedded in her abdomen, blood pouring out profusely. Then she collapsed.
Ahmad: It can't be! Why must I stand here helpless? Why? Whyyyy?
Noor died, and her blood covered the area. Osama awakened and saw Noor lying on the ground.
Osama: "Breathing heavily" I'll make you taste the regret for what you did to my daughter, you shadow insect! "Awakening the Dra..."
Osama: Wait, hold on, what is this strange feeling?
Ahmad: Why, why, why?
A blue tattoo appeared around his hands, and a blue aura began to surround his body.
Shadow General: I can't believe it, the Dragon Tattoo? How is this possible? I must go and file a report!
And the Shadow General disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Osama: Where did you go, shadow insect? Come! I will make you taste regret for what you did to my daughter! Come back!
Ahmad: Oh, what just happened suddenly? I feel like my body is empty of energy, and I've fallen to the ground.
To be continued...
