Burning City (4)
The huge man in front of me wear a shiny gray armor. His armor gleaming in the fiery glow of the burning city and short red cape are his right shoulder fluttering like the fire itself.
'He is so cool!' when the white light touched his armor it began to looks like the night sky.
Lifting his shield, he talks to me.
"Hang on kid! this won't take long" has speak. He's voice is deep and clear with a commanding tone. instead fear, somehow I feel safe.
As he finished speaking quickly. A glimmering light shines in his right hand. Soon a big war hammer metalize itself!. wasting no time he charged towards a nearby Gloombeast slamming its head then crush it with his giant hammer.
Two more Gloombeast die as he charges. His steady footstep makes the ground shake for each step he makes.
-Bang!
He quickly blocks the claw of the Gloombeast that aimed at has head with his shield, creating sparks every time his block the claw.
4 more Gloombeast appear in front of him at the same time. One of them charging with a full speed towards him.
-Bang!
A loud noise from the slamming Gloombeast with his shield. He stands like a mountain un affected by the Gloombeast that charge that can easily destroy a house.
The Gloombeast sunned by the impact, wasting no time he slamming his hammer from the top of muster head instantly crushing its skull. Brain liquid splashing into his armor.
The three of the Gloombeast enraged seeing their own kind killed easily. They start to charge at the same time.
He tilted his shield so it can block three of them at same time.
-Bang!
-Bang!
-Bang!
"Holly shit!" he blocks all of them!. If one is enough to destroy a house, then three should easily destroy the city wall. How strong is he.
"Language young man!" he said it easily like the three of Gloombeasts in front of him were nothing.
'If I survived this, I want to become cool like him, no I will become like him!' clenching my fist setting clear my resolve. I got new dream in me.
"sorry" I muttered silently.
With a nod like he can hear my muttering he jump backwards. Holding his shield in his left hand and then his right-hand start to shine. a bright blueish aura envelope the hammer in his hand.
Wasting No. time to recover three of the Gloombeasts charging at him again. But it was too late. He already reedy the moment when he descends from the sky. Never let his guard down even when he speaking to me.
He charges toward the approaching Gloombeast.
-Bang!
without single drop of sweat he blocks two of the Gloombeast in his right and in the middle with his shield. Kicking the left one to his side.
"Haap!" he shouts as he swings his shield to side rendering two of the Gloombeast movement and toss them aside. He lift his hammer again and strike one Gloombeast that in the middle. instantly killing it.
Creating one on one situation. He quickly run to the Gloombeast that in his left. he swings his hammer to it.
-Bang!
his smash creating a 3-meter created from the impact. crushing the Gloombeast head instantly. Splashing brain juice everywhere.
The shockwave from the impact pushes me back. Falling to my butt. the Gloombeast head juice also splashing me.
Seeing the hopeless situation, the rest two Gloombeast spread out. Now two of them charging at me with full speed.
-Pat!
At that time multiple pillars of light shoot from the sky. Blending my eyes. Illuminate the world with white. It obliterates two of the Gloombeast and 7 others that standing.
"Heh... took you long enough" the giant man in front of me commented while his hammer and shield glowing become particle like a star once again.
Then I see a blonde woman descend from the sky too.
"Are they an angel?" I muttered rubbing my eyes ang pinching my cheek, to make sure this is not dream.
"Ouch, that's hurts"
The both of them looks like know each other by the way they exchange some words when they meet.
"Fuck you, Cedric!" she said.
"Language Freya, you can't say that in front of children." He points at me.
"You know what, Fine!" she ignores him walking towards me.
"Hey kid, what's your name?"
"Iwi don't have one" I said.
It's true when I come in this world incant remember my own name. Even after inherit this body memories I can't remember anyone calling him by name.
Surprised by my answer she continued to ask me
"Do you have a parents or relatives?"
"No, ma'am" I shake my head.
She hesitates for a second and finally she asks me again.
"Where do you live?"
"At the Blue Mountain inn horse stable..."
Then she takes a deep breath. Looking at the man hex to her. speechless.
"let's move from here first. We can continue later." He said scanning at me from the head to the toes.
"Can you still move boy" he continue
"I think not, I sprain my ankle and I think some of my ribs are broken too." As I said the pain that I forget suddenly come back.
"Can you heal him Frey-?"
Without letting the man finished his talk, she put her hand in my head her hand was cold, its fells pleasant as I feel energy flowing from her hand toward my body and start to praying.
"Equinox, in your grace bless him"
"[Heal]"
Two balls of light entering my chest and my right ankle, the pain subside and I feel little bit better.
Doesn't stop at that. Then she also cast
[Cleanse!]
The wind swirling around my body, lifting filth that coating my whole body clean. My jaw dropped as watching the bizarre show that happen in front of me. My clothes becoming squeaky clean, my hair that was damp from the beast blood wavering like in a shampoo commercial the spell cleaning them shiny.
'I need to learn this spell, even bathing all day won't clean me like this.' I gulped looking at my hand and body.
it's not that I hate bathing, but considered bathing was a custom for Hight class people I can't use public bath because it won't accept lower class citizen like me.
"Better?" she asks me while smiling.
"Better!" I answer while touching me previously hurt chest and wiggling my right ankle.
"Well, it's time to run boy" he said.
The moment latter we begin to run. he run in front of me and the woman following me in my left side. Sometimes she takes a peek at me, when I notice her, she just casually looks at another side pretending not looking at me.
soon we arrive at the gate after few turns and avoiding the fire. the gate is closed. there is no way to open the gate because the leaver is destroyed by the collapsed tower.
"Hang on" the man said. he grabs me and carrying me in this side like a grain sack.
"Why-" I tried to protest but his hand is too fast for me to follow what is happened.
instantly he ducked his body. Not long after that the wind starts moving around him waving his hair and his cape wildly. and then he shouts
[Grand Entrance!]
-Bang!
huge crack formed from the place we stand. springing us upward like a bullet jumping across the ten-meter gate.
-Bang
"AAA...F-fuck" I scream and slowly losing my conscious before we even land.
