Rage

"I love that look on your face. I never get tired of seeing rookies like you wonder how we got around you. Did you think we would do this if we didn't have a plan, and you ran right into it."

'They must have split up and used their superior knowledge of the routes to get around me. Three on one side and one on the other. I need to break out.' Going for the dual swordsman I thrust forward but the scum dodged and jumped inside my guard before kicking me in the chest.

My armor blocked and endurance blocked most of the damage, but the force made me step back. Right into the shield of my other assailant. the rebound opened my guard and left me dizzy for a second. I could see my first opponent swinging his sword at my arm so I let him have it.

Holding my arm in a defensive block I let the blade slice into the armor and part of my arm before kicking out myself. He jumped back along with a large spurt of my blood, dodging my kick. Fighting the pain, I used the momentum to plant my feet and swing my spear forward in a sweep toward his chest. It might have got him but focusing on bringing at least one of them down left me open to the back letting one of them grab the back of my spear and yanking it out of my hand.

"Now, now, no more playing with daddy's toys."

I stood there fuming at the man, too incensed for words. Now my weapon was gone and one arm was badly cut.

"Now I think its time for another lesson. What do you guys think."

They proceded to taunt me with their weapons. Constantly poking and prodding making me jump like cat on a hot tin roof. Scratches and cuts began to line my body while the blood loss and exertion from nearly dying every second wore me down. The heat in my chest kept rising with my anger. The longer it dragged on the angrier I got and the more I saw red.

Eventually like before, the one with the broadsword swung at my legs, and too tired to fully jump over it, it clipped my shoes and sent me hurtling to the ground.

"Well it looks like the lesson is over though I think I'll give you this last one for free how about it."

I laid there hate clouding my vision, my chest burning more than I ever thought possible.

"How to die like an adventurer."

He raised his sword up to kill me while the others watched. I laid there getting ready to dodge. If I was going to die then I was going to take this asshole with me. As if resonating with my killing intent my chest reached an intense heat before something snapped.

A sudden rush of knowledge that felt like instinct, and a feeling of power that followed it flowed through me. Looking at the scum bag, filled with rage, I let loose.

Beams surged from my eyes and hit his throwing his head back and leaving him screeching in pain.

*AAAHHHHH* "MY EYES!"

Seizing the chance I shot up faster than ever and grabbed his neck before fire burst out of my hands. Letting go, he fell forward scrabbling at his newly charred neck.

His companions too shocked by what happened froze up at the turn around. Using this I jumped at the dual sword wielder eyes blazing. He managed to not get hit in the eyes but his forehead took a heavy hit snapping his neck back and leaving a nasty burn. A quick thrust to the windpipe to take his breath followed by a grab and explosion left him scrabbling on the ground like his boss.

By this time the other two had realized they were now the hunted and were swinging at me. My new speed while not much faster than before was enough to let me easily dodge both hurried slashes. Grabbing the dropped swords I threw them at my assailants shouting

"SNAKE! ANIMATE!" The swords morphed mid flight into metal serpents before coming to life and coiling around their targets. Sufficiently distracted with removing the snakes they left me time to pick up my spear before thrusting it at the sword and boarder. He tried to block with his shield but the impact knocked his shield away and with the snake biting his other arm he was wide open for my second thrust through his face.

That left the great sword wielder who by now had removed the snake and was looking at me like I was some kind of monster. Seeing him so scared I decided to humor him with the biggest grin I could manage before throwing my spear with my full might at him.

Shocked he hid behind his great sword blocking the spear and the blasts from my eyes I sent shortly after, but now he couldn't see me. Reaching for his hands I blew them up making him drop the sword and try to drag his hands back, pulling me along with them. Now face to face I sent a quick blast to his eyes blinding him before blast choking him.

A quick look around showed my first two opponents trying to heal with potions. Neither of which could do to the severity of their injuries. I quickly finished off my last opponent and the dual wielder before hamstringing the boss.

"You know its a shame you can't talk right now, I know it's taboo to run your mouth to a downed opponent but that's why I hamstringed you. And don't think I'm gonna leave you for the monsters so no luck outs for you. I just wanted you to know that I do appreciate your lessons. Why thanks to you I've found a wonderful familia and learned just how dirty this city is. I've even decided to make it my goal to rid this city of people like you. Sure it will probably never end, but I can at least make sure that those who you hurt get justice right. After all this isn't the first time you've done this is it. Well as a parting gift I'll make sure you die painfully."

With that I took my spear and shoved it in his heart.

"Now how to clean this all up?"
