Chapter 10
It was all a trap the village has fallen and in the middle of all the corruption and the body's of thhevvillagers their was the goblin shaman that was walking in circles and casting spells planning for something and at the moment they have arrive to the place the kids and women's were surrounded Kayne didn't stress or Panic he directly suggest a plan to Edward
"We should separate them so I can use my skill to hide my presence and sneak up, then I will I free the hostages and take down the shaman goblin before he finishes whatever he's doing "
"Are you crazy even if we accept the idea of you put yourself in the middle of that crowd of goblins and not thinking that whatever what happens with you in the forest can happen again how we could separate them?"
" The oil that was on the warehouse, set it on fire"
"Bu_ wait I didn't take you there at all how do you now that there's oil there ? "
The black Oil it was the source of the villages Their survival Because they do not have any crops that they can sell due to the nature of the lands, but the thing that attracted the attention of Yamno Province towards the village is the black oil.
" Do you want to waste time ? Every second can save someone's life " trying to change the conversation Kayne Whispered then looked back at the shaman
"Okay I'm going " Edward though for couple of seconds with a face full of curiosity and Doubt ' who the hell are you kayne! ' Edward though while running toward the warehouse
It's been a while since Edward left Kayne was watching the goblin shaman cast the spell and he had a weird feeling
' It's so weird I feel like I know what he is doing even though I don't understand the language,' Kayne though while sweating with a curious and stressed face " he is !! He's summoning something? " Let out a whisper unconsciously then realized that he almost got caught by some goblins
'what are you doing Edward there's no way you left us ! ' kayne thought while trying to hide behind a broken door
Suddenly
The storehouse Catch on fire but it was too late the goblins shaman finished and he start screaming while the other goblins noticed the fire and smoke at that moment the shaman goblin pointed at the other goblins separating them to two groups a groupwas ordered to head toward the source of the fire " the storehouse"
And the other group brought the villagers who was children and women's and put them on the ground exactly they were at the place that the shaman goblin was walking around it at the moment the goblins left the area the shaman goblin started screaming some weird words that had a strang effect on Kayne
At the moment the shaman stopped casting the spells a circle was shining on the ground
after that a big black ball appears from nowhere the ball was getting bigger and bigger the ball Start being flat with a circle shape
Kayne couldn't move breathing heavily sweating with cold sweat and his hands were shaking it wasn't fear it was pressure that was crushing him pressure Its source is the black ball, that was letting out some strange familiar aura the black ball kept changing it shape until
It begun to look like a portal,or else a gate that was leading to complete darkness where no light reaches like a black hole eats every energy that gate was like 10 meters height and width 32 feet
Before kayne even could understand what was that gate he heard The second group of goblins coming toward him the group that went to the warehouse has returned their numbers was less but They were dragging someone leaving a long line of blood it was Edward, both his hands and his legs were cutoff He was tied with a rope around his waist with his face full of blood " E_Edward" the only thing that kayne let out from his mouth before gritting his teeths and holding his sword but before he even stand he noticed another change in the Aura that was let out from the gate making the pressure even stronger
Leaving for him only one choice and it's watching
The goblins showed Edward to the shaman goblin and he just pointed at the place were the woman and kids after that the goblins just placed him with the other villagers
Kayne couldn't do anything he was completely tied up by the pressure of the black gate he was nervous and stressed many ideas were entering his head making him even more stressed
' what have I do know the other group didn't take too long the gate wasn't an expected thing , at his situation Edward can't help anymore , should I just RUN ? No!! Not a choice Even if I tried the shaman will notice me but if I stayed I may get killed!! But I WANT TO SEE WHAT'S COMING OUT FROM THE GATE ' kayne nervously thought before the big change on his expressions
...
The children were crying and and the woman were trying to calm them
And for a moment There was a deathly silence.
The goblins remained frozen in their places. The goblins shaman once again began casting some spells.
Then a deadly scream came from the gate, piercing the goblins' ears making them Neal on their knees from the pain of the scream
Kayne felt the pressure rising and rising while he was trying to stand straight and not letting himself to. Fall on his face but what was weird for him that is seems he's the only one who was feeling the crushing pressure him and the shaman goblin that was already kneeling Kayne couldn't thing anymore until his ears start bleeding
When the screaming stopped, the pressure on Kayne eased letting him breath easily
"What is this" before kayne rest as sound was coming from the gate, the sound of footsteps
The sound of footsteps began to approach, with the seconds pass the sound of the footsteps increased and became even more clear the sound changed from human steps to a horse run
And only Then, when the sound of footsteps stopped, a huge palm that seems to be like dogs palm came out of the gate, grabbing one of the village women and crushing her leaving only markes of blood on the ground
And then another plan came out from the gate a huge monster that has a wolf shape the difference was his height that seems to be 7, meters tall and his body that was Covered with fire , the fire didn't seem to be hurting him
. and what made all the woman's screame on fear was that You can see the faces of people drawn on its body and around it with terrifying expressions.the expression of being burnet to death
All the goblins who were suffering from the scream stood up and bowed down to that terrifying monster.
The goblins shaman was getting closer and closer to the monster while bowing his head and when he was right Infront of the monster he raised his head and tried to speak with the monster what was surprising that the monster was showing interest to the shaman goblin the shaman was waving his hands and monster was nodding his head that was Kayne able to see from the distance between him and place all this was happening
and then the shaman pointed with his hand to the children and women. And at that moment the monster smiled a devilish smile then raised his huge jaw toward the sky and laugh a human deep laugh only to look again at the kids that were terrified
One bite, it was all he needs to ate three kids alive, enjoying the screams of the villagers as they saw their brothers and sons being eaten.Realizing that after the children are finished, it will be their turn the women couldn't help but scream and They writhe on the ground
Sitting not doing anything
Kayne
Was shocked and angry at the same time angry that he can't do anything just sitting there watching kids getting eaten and the woman's screaming and feeling shocked that he couldn't do anything after getting stronger more than ever not doing anything Even though he had been skills
On the other side Edward was coldly looking at the sky with a small smile at his face " this how my journey has ended! The silver bastard Edward has died such stupid death !? Hahaha " Edward was talking to him self while letting out small giggles then looking at the villagers with hopeless eyes hearing the village women's screaming that they can't run They can't fight all they can do is watch and wait for their turn to be eating "sorry I can't do anything to help you , it sad that I can't even hear myself no more" Edward said while Looking at the dark cloudy sky
After a while no scream could be heard
all women are dead
Leaving only Edward laying on his back watching the sky carelessly the monster just grabbed Edward with his palm so tight that his bones can be Heard getting break then his nose and eyes started bleeding
" KAYNE !!" a surprising screaming came from the body that was looking dead "you have to run , run as fast as you can ! Sorry it's my fault that I can't save and help the village I lead , at least someone has to live " Edward said while turning his head left and right trying to see where kayne was but alas he couldn't see anything but darkness because of his His eyes were bulging out due to the monster's claws "we're just not lucky for this beast to appear here" Edward screamed again with his tone getting lower and lower
After saying this, accepting his death, Edward began to see his life pass before hi eyes Starting from the day he decided to become a knight protecting the weak in shining armor, to the first battle he won against the kids in the streets, then to the first battle he lost in the academy, then to the moment he realized his lack of talent and how far his Goal were .Then until the day he ended up homeless in the streets because of getting tricked by someone he trusted, then to the band he joined, then to the first feast he prepared with the money he earned then the battle he losy his leg in it
Then ..then
Until the day he became a teacher of a talanted weird young man
Edward for the first time in years dropped tears not sadness or pain but regret , regret that he's not strong enough to help and save the people he cares about and how shameful his life was
Edward is Dead.
