Chereads / The King Of Nothing / Chapter 4 - Resourcefulness

Chapter 4 - Resourcefulness

Haku threw his blade at a group of Cult members. The blade twirled around and stabbed straight through the group. Haku, seeing the blood oozing from them, covered his mouth, trying to keep himself from throwing up.

"Haku, are you ok?" Amy pushed herself onto him slightly. Pressing her boobs into his shoulder, it took his mind off his current problem and made him blush.

"Yes, I'm fine, thank you, Amy; you should stay back and cast spells from afar. I'll go in with Rika and Marx to do damage. Amy reluctantly shook her head yes to his strategy.

The three charged in and felt destructive amounts of damage to both the cult members and the castle. Plums of dust kicked up from their attack, but from the smoke, a dark armored hand appeared as it grabbed Rika's face

"Let her go, bastard!" Marx yelled as lightning enveloped his hand as he ran up to attack the knight, moved his lower body towards him before thrusting his hips harshly in his direction.

As the knight made contact with Marx, a loud crack sounded through the halls, followed by Marx's scream as he tumbled to the ground, able to get up.

"I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS!" Marx clenched his side as Amy rushed to perform a healing spell on him. The grip around Rika's head tightened before blood started to leak from her nose, and a high-pitched scream echoed down the hall. Haku saw this and instantly grabbed his sword, pulled it out of the mountain of corpses, and dashed toward the knight.

"I'll have your head!" Haku sliced the Knights's arm that was holding Rika and caught her before kicking them off the ground and sliding towards Amy and Marx. The knight made no noise as it clenched its arm as the dark red blood oozed out.

The skin started to bubble around the cut-off arm before the knight began to regrow the arm, with the Armor and all. The knight stared unmovingly at them before jumping out of the window and crawling up the wall at inhuman speeds, making parts of bricks fall off.

"Is that thing even human?" Marx said as he slowly stood up from the ground that Amy was now healing Rika from her head injury from the knight.

"There are many unique abilities and talents in this world. I wouldn't be surprised if super healing were one of them." Haku turned and walked through a door leading to the main staircase.

"I'm heading straight to the top. it's your decision whether or not you follow." Haku turned to them to see their confident faces.

"You and Des are the most capable of all the heroes. I'm confident we could fight better alongside you." these words brought a guanine smile to Haku's face and boosted his morale overall.

"Then let's go!" the four ran up the stairs.

———-

Alphaeus was bleeding from his stomach as he screamed in pain.

"AH FUCK, IT HURTS, IT HURTS!"

'I'm dying in dying; I'm dying!' the whole time, he had tears going down his face as a smile spread across his face as he watched a knight with horns on his helmet lift a giant sword and bring it down on him once again.

"No, this isn't how I go!" Alphaeus pulled himself to the side before slowly lifting himself off the ground and dashing at the knight. He slid the blade into the knight's side, getting sent through the ceiling multiple times before landing in the sky above the castle.

The knight jumped through the hole and grabbed him before hurling him down at the castle. He slammed into one of the bridges connected to the castle's watch towers.

His yellow eyes gleamed at the sun as he saw a shadow coming down; he coughed up blood as he watched the knight land on the bridge and walked towards him while dragging the sword behind him.

"Spacial Collapse," Alphaeus muttered as he pointed his hand at the knight, and the arm that was holding the sword was crushed and turned into an iron ball that oozed blood. The skin around the wound on the arm of the knight started to bubble slightly before it began to regrow.

A Smile spread across Alphaeus's face as he saw this. He stood up slowly before he started to perform the slight bit of healing magic he had learned while watching Amy on himself.

"Well, it seems I'm your biggest weakness. I FINISH THIS OFF QUICKLY!" a psychotic grin spread across Alphaeus' face as his eyes became visible for a split second before he disappeared from his position and slammed his dagger into the neck of the knight.

The knight grabbed his arm that was holding the dagger and crushed it before attempting to pull him off.

"SPACIAL COLLAPSE" The knight head collapsed in on itself and the body of the knight fell over dragging Alphaeus down with it. The knight's arm that was holding Alphaeus dangled off the edge.

"I live another day!" Alphaeus held on to the arm of the knight before a small orb oozed out of the head of the knight and floated in front of Alphaeus.

"What?" Alphaeus seemed confused in his 15days of being in this world he hadn't been told of any phenomenon like this yet. He reached his hand out slowly and grabed the orb, the orb popped and seemed to be absorbed by his body.

After a few seconds past by Alphaeus found himself feeling more energized but the really special thing was his hand. The same hand that had gotten crushed was completely healed.

Alphaeus crawled up the wall slowly and jumped onto the bridge before pulling his dagger out of the knight's body. The dagger melted and turned into a crown that he then placed on his head.

The castle shook again, an explosion happened as the entire top of the castle was blown off five individuals could be seen in the air.

Alphaeus turned toward the knight he defeated and pushed him off the partially destroyed bridge they where now on. He looked back to see the individuals where on a bridge on the complete opposite side of the castle.

They had already invaded in a battle, Alphaeus squinted his eyes slightly and parted his hair ever so much before he gasped. He could see a person with pink highlights fighting on the bridge with some person that seemed to be really skilled at combat.

"It's Haku. I don't care about the others but I at least need to be there for Haku."

"Float!"
