*Discussion Isn't Done Until I Say: Pt 2
Malice's primal instinct was telling him that he better run but he couldn't ever even think about running from anyone. He knew that he wasn't a match for this Demon Lord, but he would rather try fighting than be a coward.
Lord Vishious, lowered his right arm that was still dripping with flesh blood, down by his side and moved his body where he was completely facing Malice now.
"I almost forgot how weak Kamaira's are. I seriously hope you're not such a disappointment?" Lord Vishious said in a bored, cold tone.
"Why did you kill him? You could've beat him in a fight and taught him a lesson that way!" Malice questioned back, baring his teeth and growling at Vishious.
"Are you really daring to try and challenge me?" Vishious asked. Though his voice was calm, his eyes carried in them dangerous killing intent.
Without saying anything back to Vishious, Malice called up his powers and focused his energy and brought a bow and arrow into his hands. He didn't waste any time and pulled the arrow back in the bow and shot the arrow at Vishious.
The arrow hit the dead Kamaira that was laying on the forest floor, and a great blue explosion blasted the surrounding area, leaving everything covered in dust and smoke.
Malice knew that he was unmatched when it came to archery and he never missed his target. He stared at the place that he knew Vishious was standing, waiting for the dust and smoke to settle. He knew that one of his arrows wouldn't kill a Demon Lord, but he hoped that he could at least slow Vishious down.
Inhaling the acrid smell of charred, burning wood. He was on high alert at this point and slowly started making his way forward.
He made two more energy arrows and got them ready to fire as soon as he would get a glimpse of movement or see where Vishious had been thrown to during the explosion.
Slowly the smoke and dust dispersed to allow Malice to see the damage that he had done with his arrow. And he only say bits and pieces of the Kamaira that was left after being hit, still smoking from the intense heat of his power arrow. But to his dismay there was no sight of the Demon Lord.
A deep, frustrated growl left Malice's throat as he quickly started to scan the area, looking to find where Vishious had disappeared to.
A twig suddenly snapped in the direction that was to his left and Malice shot both his arrows in that direction so fast that nothing would be able to dodge them.
Yet another explosion shattered the tranquility of the surrounding trees, sending shockwaves through the air. Dust and smoke billowed forth, obscuring the once clear view and casting a temporary veil over the surroundings, making it impossible to perceive anything within the area.
Malice decided to shut off his energy core and reserve his power until he caught sight of the Demon Lord. He was certain that he had to of hit Vishious or at least made him get thrown by the impact of his arrows.
It was dead silent and Malice couldn't hear any movement at all. He started to walk forward in the direction he just shot, moving very slowly and listening with his heightened sonar hearing, but he heard absolutely nothing at all. After about 15 feet of walking he stopped because he could sense that this wasn't right, he should've been able to see or hear Vishious by now.
' There's no way that I could've missed him? is it possible that he's playing with me, waiting for the right moment to attack me?' Malice couldn't help but think to himself.
As the more time went on the more Malice became uneasy. Malice deciding to just leave and head back to the castle, pulled his massive wings out and was about to jump to take flight when the silence was broken by Lord Vishious saying, "Don't tell me that the Puppy is running away so soon?"
Malice growled at the comment that was just made to him. Malice answered by saying, "And from What would I be running from? certainly not..."
Even before he could finish his sentence, he began to choke. The Demon in front of him had moved at the speed of lightning, and now an iron grip strangled his neck, before he knew it. His feet were kicking up in the air while he was pinned so easily against the massive trunk of one of the trees that surrounded them.
Malice tried grabbing onto Vishious'arm that was choking him, to try and get him to release him from his deadly hold. Clawing to the point that Vishious bled, but it had no effect on his hold on Malice's throat.
Malice continued to struggle to breathe and he knew he was going to die soon if he wasn't let go. He choked for air and the pain he felt every time he tried made it that much worse for him. Soon his Struggling started to get weaker and weaker, and his eye sight started to turn black, no longer able to focus on anything. Malice was ready to except his fate, knowing that he couldn't escape death.
But in the next second, he was thrown brutally to the ground making his limp, weak body slam hard against the forest floor of Massive roots and giant rocks, and bright lights exploded behind his eyes as his head struck hard against one of the exposed roots of a tree.
To move at all brought a lot of pain to every part of his body and he struggled to push himself to his knees, still trying to catch his breathe. Blood was coming out on both sides of his mouth and where he had struck the tree was now pouring blood.
The crackling of leaves were heard as he could footsteps slowly was approaching where he was bent down at.
"Now I hope that you have learned not to cross me?" Lord Vishious said in a cold, emotionless tone. He then bent down next to Malice and placed his palms against Malice's face. The fire that seemed to come from them was so awful it made him scream out, but it only lasted for a brief second before the agonizing pain was gone.
Malice was left panting for air and he suddenly realized that he was no longer in any pain, that the blood had stopped and he felt perfectly fine.
He looked up to see Lord Vishious standing next to him looking down at him, his expression blank not showing any emotion.
"Now our discussion is over for the night. Stand up and let's get back to the Palace. I have someone else who I need to give a lesson to. But know that our Discussion will continue when I return" Vishious said in a frightening, evil tone. ,
