3 Awaking Blind
Now ready to fight with his new found strength, he then woke up.
"Boss! He woke up! Should we go on now?"
"Let him rest. Keep him for company, do as you wish, just don't kill him." The foul man replied.
The man who came in agreed and then left the tent and onto Kazein's. As he went in with 4 more men. They chuckled as they approached, but what they didn't know was.
"Oh Mark!~ Big brothers came to play~." A man with a whip said.
"That's right. Be nice and scream for us." A plump man followed with.
But as they neared him, they noticed the dark hole below his throat. "Hey, you see that? Did someone do that?"
"No, I don't believe someone came in and played with him."
As they were chatting, Kazein stood up, he wasn't tied, they probably thought he couldn't even fight. Let alone find the courage to escape. They saw this, and the man with a whipped hit his face. "Crack!" The whip made his face bleed, Kazein didn't flinch, his head just tilted. It seemed he didn't care if he was hit or not. The plump man again hit him "Crack!" Again Kazein didn't react, "Crack!" He hit him once more. But Kazein just didn't even react. This creeped them out.
"Beat him up!" A man with a spear yelled. As soon as everyone ganged up on him. He dodged the first strike and kicked the one who threw the punch away. He then side stepped and grab the hand of the man with a dagger, and broke it "Crunch!!!" Everyone heard the breaking of bones. Three left, as Kazein caught a crossbow bolt, he then broke it and then grabbed the dagger of the man whose arm he broke, and threw it to the one with a crossbow. It hit his throat, and he coughed up blood whilst dying. Two left, as the two began to ran away in fear. Kazein took an ax and threw it to the plump man's back "Hack!" The breaking of spine cracked out. And to finish it off, he grabbed the whip nearby and hit the man who was running away. "Crack!" "Whirl!" The whip coiled around his neck, Kazein pulled it, and it caused the man to fall. Kazein dragged him, and back into the tent, Kazein lifted him up. And hanging him to death. After finishing off all of them, dark shadows appeared on the dead bodies. Kazein couldn't see them, but he could feel them. As though he knew what to do, he called out "Gather!" And the shadows went to him, and into the dark hole below his throat.
"What is this? I feel more refreshed? It can't be because of those shadows? Come to think of it, the demon said he wants souls for his power. I only used a small amount but it's enough to deal with them. How terrifying is that demon with a name?" He thought to himself. When suddenly he heard footsteps, 20 of them. Without thinking much he went out. Seeing this place was the hills 2 miles away from the village, he ran east. Towards the forest, he made a successful escape.
"A nearly blind man, did this to 5 of my men?! He couldn't have done it, someone must've helped him escape. Look for him at his village. He might go back there." The foul man ordered.
As 20 men rode to the village, ten more men went out in all directions to search for him.
Meanwhile Kazein who has gotten quite far, felt weaker and weaker. But he didn't stop running. He had food to worry about, he also has his torn clothes to worry off. If people saw him they might think he's a POW and call the guards on him.
Before everything else, he stopped at a cave. He fell unconscious, and once more the demon spoke to him.
"You look miserable." The demon laughed it off.
"Well thank you. As it turned out that much wasn't even enough for my body, but how was it?" He spoke with the demon.
"Hahahaha! Not bad for someone like you. No one ever managed to stay unconscious after drawing my power out. In those cases I've already taken their soul."
"Why I'm so glad. Well, why did you come to me?" Kazein asked.
"Nothing, it's just to say you better wake up. You've been asleep for 5 days now." The demon replied.
"What?! How bout my body?!" Kazein was shocked.
"Hmph lucky bastard. A young girl is nursing you to health, even on the whole of my life no girl has ever nursed me to health." The demon sounded jealous.
"Oh? I guess I'll wake up then."
And his consciousness shone bright. His eyes slowly opened, and there he saw just white, and a shade, this must be the girl. She seems to be cooking, stew? It smells chicken.
Then the girl cooking looked back.
"Ah! You're awake! I have a lot of questions! But, rest up first." She spoke in a high tone as though she was, angry?
Kazein sat up, the girl got him some stew. And let him eat, while he was eating, she asked.
"So, why were those rogues after you? You seem to have done something against them." She asked.
"Rogues? I see, they're looking for me. Though they didn't need to, since I'll go to them my self." Kazein said.
"Oh? So, where you from? If my guess is right, you're from the village that was burned." She asked.
"...." Kazein didn't speak, he just nodded.
The girl felt sorry for asking something she wasn't supposed to. But she was wrong, Kazein wasn't sad, he just didn't want to stand out by saying he escaped. What's more, he formed a contract with a very powerful demon with a name.
They were silent, the girl decided to break up the awkward silence. "So how did your eyes get like that? It's unusual for one to have white eyes." She blurted out not knowing he was blind.
"I'm blind, that's why."
"Ah! I'm sorry!!! I didn't know! I just never saw blind people to open their eyes completely!" She stuttered.
"..." Kazein was silent, he never met anyone this klutzy. Suddenly, Kazein blacked out once more.
"Ah! How did he pass out once again?!" She was frightened and panicked on what to do. But she decided to nurse him once more.
On his consciousness, his demon once again spoke to him while he laughed.
"Hahaha you're a legend! You're a hell of a legend!" The demon laughed.
What could the demon be laughing at?
