10 The Fallen Hero

(SFX- Crumbling)

"What the..."

"Whose there?"

"Everyone Gather here, there is an imposter over there."

"Where" "Catch him" "Kill him" "We can't let him free after what he saw"

There was chaos by the Royal guards. Those who were relaxing woke up and immediately came next to Ray. He ran from there to the center of the Village as around 20 of the Royal guards chased him.

"Stay together..... He looks dangerous....", The captain of the Royal guard troop commanded.

They surrounded Ray as he stood on top of the water fountain. Eight of them loaded their bows,

Eleven of them held their spear and their Captain drew his sword out.

"Who are you, "The captain asked.

Ray didn't answer.

(SFX-- THUD THUD THUD) 12 more Royal guards joined and loaded their weapons facing Ray's back.

"Are everyone?" the captain asked.

"Except for 4, remaining all of us are here.", One guy answered.

"Who are you", The captain asked Ray once again, but this time even rowdier than before.

"Who killed them?", Ray asked.

"You Bastar..."

(--STORM BLADE--)*Ray

(SFX- THUD) That royal guard fell.

Everyone got aghast, and a chill ran down through them.

"Who is he?" "He killed him in a moment" "This guy's tough" They whispered among themselves.

["Storm Blade" huh?... No... He should have been dead... No... It can't be him... It can't be...]*The captain shuddered the whole time he thought about this.

The fur, which Ray used to cover his mouth and hair slipped and fell.

(SFX-- _TH_N_DR)

The Royal guards who saw his face quivered and some dropped their weapons.

"What happened? Why are you all scared?", A guard facing Ray's back asked the ones shivering.

"It's him... The Defender Hero is still alive... Kill the traitor", The Captain commanded by showing his sword in his still quaking hand.

The guards who faced Ray including the captain didn't budge, but the 12 guards facing Ray's back shot arrows and thrust their spears toward him.

(--SHIELD Lv 1--)*Ray

All the arrows stopped, but the guards holding the spear still charged ahead.

"Hmph, trying to backstab me again?", Ray mocked.

When they came in close contact with Ray he vanished.

[Where did he go?]* Everyone.

"Who are you searching for," Ray asked as he kept his left hand on a guard who just shot an arrow at him, and with his right hand, he held a sword which he borrowed from the nearby corpse of the village elder.

"Wha....." (SFX- Slash Slash Slash Slash)

Ray sliced 7 of the 12 guards who used the bow.... In an instant.

"Run", A guard yelled as his survival instinct kicked in.

Everyone, including the captain and the 5 spear guards who charged into Ray, dropped their weapons and ran towards the village exit.

"Who killed them?... Who killed them?... Who killed them?... Who killed them?... Who killed them?... Who killed them?... Who killed them?... Who killed them?... Who killed them?... Who killed them?... Who killed them?..", Ray asked as he kept on slicing everyone running.

Soon they reached a dead end... It was Ray who led them into it... 12 Royal guards along with the captain remained.

"Please don't kill us", The royal guards begged.

"No no no no, you can't say that... A hunter should always be ready to be hunted", Ray taught them. He continued, "This time, let me teach you how it feels to be hunted."

(SFX- Slash Slash Clank ThuD Snip)

Ray killed everyone except for the Captain and a girl Royal guard. Now he held the neck of the girl and sorrowfully said, "tch tch tch tch...You were feeling sad when they were killing all the villagers, right?"

She nodded.

"Even I am feeling dismal when I am killing you. Like you even I can't help but kill even if I feel sad.", Ray said as he choked her to death. He continued," Now Captain, how does it feel to hunt first and then get hunted?"

"You bastard, How dare you....?" The captain said as he trembled, sticking to a wall behind his back.

(SFX- Splish)

"AAAAAAAH"

Ray thrust his sword in the Captain's leg. He fell on his knees in front of Ray.

"Now, tell me who ordered you to kill them? Who were all the Heroes who came here?" Ray questioned.

"The orders came from the palace.....Ha hahaha *laughing* You will be hunted down again Defender Hero."

The captain drew a knife from his boots and leaped on to Ray, but he broke his arm and pinned him on the ground.

"Defender Hero is already dead... The one present here is THE FALLEN HERO."

(--FIREBALL--)*Ray

(SFX- splash)

His face burst and blood spilled on Ray's face. He slowly rises and faces the rain.

(SFX-- pitter Patter..... _TH_N_DR)

" Bwahaha...Bwahaha.....Bwahahahahahaa... I Will Kill You All...I will kiLL You All...I wiLL destroy This KingdOM...All HerOes Head fOr Their DoOm... I WiLL DestRoy and Build A New KingDOm....Bwahahahahaha... "

(SFX--_TH_N_DR CRASH)

Lightning struck the background of Ray and even in the rain, the fire blazed...
