Chereads / Devil's Downfall / Chapter 50 - Wisp

Chapter 50 - Wisp

The man in the suit walked back up onto the stage.

"Well then, will the Rhine mercenary company, and the Crimson Goblet knight company please come up." 

The Crimson knights are dawned in blood red full armor faces hidden behind their metal helmets. 

"Now send up your first combatants."

Jonny walked up onto the stage, and from the other a thin woman.

"Now announce yourselves."

"I'm Jonny, former sell sword under the name Night's Ghost, now Seat of Wolf in the Rhines mercenary company."

"You?" An angry voice shouted from the crowd.

"I'm known as the Wisp. It's nice to make your acquaintance, I used to love your work." 

Jonny shivered. 

"I love to meet a fan."

From inside her helmet you could hear her lick her lips. 

The Wisp isn't an unknown name, she's a famed assassin targeting gangsters and other so called evil people.

"You may begin the fight."

Jonny draws kinsbane from his pocket, the massive burning great sword defied reality as it formed. Wisp eyes sparkling as she rubs her hands together. Jonny pushes in slow and hesitantly. Even through her helmet it looks like she's building up confidence to say something, until it just came out.

"Will you go on a date with me?"

Jonny hesitated questioning what he heard, "no? I'm taken."

"What!" she jumped at him, knife stabbing. "You don't know how long I've waited to meet you, I studied each and all of your gouges works. They were love letters aiming straight for my heart. The gruesome acts, the outstanding splatters of blood, the bodies so filled with holes it looked like you gunned them down, but no, each was a cut so fine and well crafted it made me ahhhhh."

She cut and thrust trading excellent deflections with brilliant follow ups. 

"What is wrong with you?"

"You can just dump her, we were meant to be together, you were telling me that. You knew I was watching, you wanted me just as much as I wanted you. Join me and leave whatever disgusting hoe you're with. Think what we can accomplish: we can kill all the bastards. No one would dare mess with us. I'm your blood filled rose, and you're my royal prince. We can avenge your sister together."

Jonny stopped fighting and Wisp's knife slipped into his shoulder. 

She screamed "nooo!"

He grabbed her wrist.

"Never, I mean EVER mention my sister!"

His grasp tightened.

"Stop it, you're hurting me."

Magic seeped from his pores leaking into her skin.

"Ahhhh" she yelped.

"Surrender now and I'll take it as an apology."

"Fine, I surrender." She cried.

"Rhines musenary company wins."
