Encircle.

Samor, Avalo camp.

Sebastian and his men making their move to attack the soldiers on Avalo's border

At midnight Sebastian woke his men up to get ready for an ambush.

The night was their best cover, since they were outnumbered the prince knew that they needed to come up with a strategy to win the battle.

Everyone knew the prince would never lead men who could not walk in darkness. Most of his men were trained to use their other senses in a dark place.

Some used their sharp ears to listen, While others could feel the presence of people around them.

All together prince Sebastian and his men matched as quietly as possible to their enemies camp. They applied the surprise element and by the early hours of the morning, the battle began between the two.

Eight, as instructed by the prince stayed on the hill and watched the Battle. He felt helpless as he could not particularly see what was going on until the day become a little brighter.

In a war like this, the soldiers were supposed to protect and watch the prince's back but they have all deliberately left the prince open.

After considering many ways they could end the prince, they decided it was best to have him killed in the battle. So the soldiers let more men into their formation to attract the prince.

Eight noticed what they were doing and bit his finger in frustration. He was feeling so helpless. How could the prince make him stand helpless afar and watch how he was being betrayed.

Eight balled his fits and swore to make sure all of the men that survived in the battle would die. Still fuming in anger he watched as more and more men tried to sneak attack on the prince. If Eight who was standing afar could see the opening created by their men, how could the enemies not?

These were strong men and very skilled with swords and every one of them wanted to be the one that killed the cursed prince. He was easy to identify because of his famous mask.

Since arriving from across the sea, these soldiers have heard about the curse prince and so they were all aware of the great benefits that await whoever is able to defeat him.

"Fools," Eight curses them. "Do they really think that they would survive the Battle if the prince was killed?

Eight watched helplessly as the prince got surrounded in a closed circle. He cursed under his breath helplessly. His gaze was fixed on the prince. Soon, he could no longer see movement from the circle and fear crept into his heart.

The prince has been fighting since the middle of the night and it was already the late hour of the morning. He knew the prince was strong but he was still a man.

The possibility of him surviving in a circle of so many stronger men was low. He watched intensely, hoping against hope that the prince will pull one of his stunts and break the circle.

Meanwhile, the prince smirk when he saw that the men have completely encircled him. These men were already screeming victory in their heads. Although they were sure a few of them would die but it was worth it if they could kill the beast and put Avalo where it belongs.

The prince has his mask on as usual so they could not see the expression on his face. All they saw was the lowerng of his sword and they took that as a hint of fear.

Little did they know that they had all walked into a trap. The prince needs them as a shield for his plans. He could not let everyone know about his supernatural powers.

If words get out people will beginning to look for the source of his power and of course, they might learn of his weakness.

One of the men immediately made the move to cut the prince. He raised his sword but when he lowered it the prince seems to have disappeared all of a sudden. Before the men could understand what had happened necks began to lose their heads.

Prince Sebastian had used an invisible spell and broke free from the circle. His movement was too fast.

And in a few breaths, all the men that surrounded him were dead. They all died not sure if he really becomes invisible or his movement was so Swift that they could not see him.

The people outside the circle were all surprised. They Naturally noticed the circle, Although the fight continues a lot of the soldiers had their eyes on the circle. They were all expecting the inevitable death of the prince.

Eight breaths a sigh of relief seeing this. Although he could not watch the prince's movement as he thought his speed was too fast.

After the prince break free from the circle there was a sudden, wind. This type of winds was Common in a deserted place like this. so most of the soldiers did not pay attention until head began to roll. No one was sure of the position of the prince. Everything was happening at a fast pace that they could not comprehend the situation.

Soldiers were meant to be strong but these men felt fear. They were not even sure of what was going on, because a few of Avalo"s men also got killed.

The Battle was over in another hour, all the soldiers of the enemies were lying dead with the prince standing at the end of the enemy lines.

They were only about two hundred Avalo men left. These men were scared for their lives they have only survived the Battle because they retreated a little when they noticed the strange happening. A few of Avalo men tried to escape the battle but like instructed Eight had killed them all.

Sebastian looked over all the dead bodies, his eyes were bloodshot. He felt an overwhelming sense of relief. He had allowed the beast to completely take over. This made him totally blood tasty and unable to control his strength, killing everyone on sight. It has been a long time since he let his blood taste take over and he would not have allowed it if he was not betrayed by his men. He closed his eyes and tried to regain control. He was still regained control when he felt a sharp pain in his lower back.
