You'll do anything huh? Just remember kid it won't be easy" the wanderer said "I promise to do the best of my abilities" the boy reassured the wanderer " Then 1st I want you to establish your village using the demon corpses to make the homes of the villager, 2nd I want you to combine the 4th class corpse with its broadsword 3rd if you manage to combine the 4th class corpse and its broadsword then you have to be able to swing it a thousand times when I get back so train yourself if you manage to do all that I'll train you for a week and after that, I'll tell you your next task" the wanderer explained "All clear sir, expect everything to be done before you get back thank you for everything sir," the boy said with a reassuring tone "alright then bye kid don't waste my time alright ?" the wanderer said while he summons a staff that has a two swirling snake as a design before he disappeared like a bubble. "what in the world, the world really is amazing, I still have a lot to learn and experience " the boy said as he watches the wanderer disappear into nothingness " well time to go to work then," the boy said to himself while he stretches to get ready for the wanderers task, the boy start by lifting the demons broadsword surprisingly the broadsword is as light as a feather he then swings it to the trees nearby and gather the woods, first he make a sleigh using the woods and a rope using the wooden fibers he puts the demon corpse on top of the sleigh and put the broadsword on top of the demon corpse he starts pulling the corpse back to the village. the boy got back to the village before sunrise " Wow I guess I still have a lot of adrenaline left from the fight with the 4th class demon it's only sunrise normally I would be back before high noon from that 40 km hike " the boy said while being surprised by his accomplishment, the boy then start pulling the sleigh again to go back to his house but before he even got near his house a scout greeted him " Hey there Flavio, we've been looking all over for you and your parents, the chief hasn't even rest yet " the scout said " I'm sorry card but I was with the wanderer and  my parents.. my parents" the boy cannot continue his reply and fell on his knees crying before he passed out, the scout catch the boy before his face touch the ground he then carried the boy to the village hall and into the tunnels, the flames and fog from the demon horde attack are already long gone before the boy even make it back to the village, all you can see are burned down houses ash, dust and some houses and the village hall. It took the scout about 2 hours to navigate the tunnel even if he's the fastest village scout he doesn't want to wake the kid up the end of the tunnel looks like a maze like cave structure. all the surviving villagers and village warriors are in there. the village warriors have 8 groups and they are scattered to the caves 8 entrances. "please take care of the kid, I need to call the chief" The scout ordered the village warriors in the main entrance, The village warrior took the boy from the scout and carried him to a nearby tent " take care of the kid, give him some fresh clothes and warm meal when he wakes up" the village warrior ordered the villagers that are settling in the said tent " Yes sir, no problem" the villagers replied in unison. the scout found the chief near the back entrance of the cave " good thing we're near an entrance sir, I found the blacksmiths kid" the scout said "well let's go" the village chief replied with a tired tone since he hasn't had the chance to take a good rest, the two entered the back entrance of the cave it took them until high noon to get to the cave as soon as the chief got to the cave he went to the main entrance and ask the village warrior " where's the kid ?" the chief ask " in that tent sir" the village warrior replied while pointing at the said tent " thanks Tan" the village chief said to the village warrior. The village chief went to the tent and look for the kid, the kid is still a sleep so the chief went to his tent to take a rest too " please tell the warriors to wake me up when the kid woke up" the village chief ordered the villagers in the tent " make sure to give him some fresh clothes and warm food as well" the village chief continued. The village chief  went to his tent but before he could even close his eyes a scout went to his tent " chief there are 8 demons near the southeast entrance" the scout said " well for f*cks sake, lets's go. tell the warriors group themselves to 16 and half of them will go with us call all the other scouts as well but live one scout per entrance, tan and card go with me help me contain the demons" the chief ordered as they went to the southeast entrance. "Card check if they're group up already go first" the village chief ordered " Yes sir " The village scout replied as he sped up since he's the village fastest no one in the village is better than him to scout the demons locations, soon as the chief and the warrior get up from the southeast entrance card is already done checking the location of the demons " half of the demons group up already chief and the other four is scattered all over the forest but the group of demons is much closer here than the other scattered four" card explained " well since there's only 3 of us and I'm tired as hell it will be a suicide if we fight the group first let's kill the scattered four first, where's the nearest?" the chief asks " southwest sir 1.2km " card replied as he led the way to where the demon is it took them about 10 minutes to go to where the demon is "Tan, go tank that thing, Card, make sure to aim for the eyes. alright, guys let's do this" the village chief said as they get ready to attack the demon. "boog, boog,boogg" the sound of Tans shield as he shields the demons continues attacked "swish, slash, swish" the sound of the village chief sword as he cuts one of the four arms of the demon the three fights the demon rhythmically "swoosh" the sound of cards arrow as it flies through the eye of the demon "thud" as the dying demon drop to the ground a scout went to their location " found you chief" the scout said "what happened?" the village chief ask " there's a group of 6demons near the southeast entrance" the scout replied " alright tan, go with him and lead the others to kill that group, me and card will hunt the other demon" the chief ordered, tan and the scout followed the village chief order and went on their way " alright card where is the other demon" the village chief ask "if I can guess correctly it should be the demon in 2km to the west since it's the farthest demon" card replied " let's go then" the village chief replied as he gets ready to move. it took them 14 minutes to get to where the demon is " alright card, I'll tank it make sure to aim for the eyes" the village chief said " Huwaaaahh" the village chief yelled to get the demons attention "cling.. clangg.. clanng.. cling" as the village chief parry the demons attacks " hurry up card, I can't keep up for long " the village chief said as he tries his best to parry the demons attack and then " swoooosh" the sound of card arrow flying to the demon's eyes "alright card, let's go help the others, it's really hard to fight a group of 6 demons" the village chief said " alright chief, 4.1km northeast is our destination" card replied " they're that close to the entrance f*ckkkk!!" the village chief said as they went to the location of the demons. It took them almost half an hour to go to where the demons are, the scene they saw is almost like a massacre there's blood everywhere the warriors and the scouts manage to kill 2 demons but 28 warriors and 12 scouts have perished "what the f*ck happened here? explain it tan why there are so many dead warriors and scouts" the chief ask " they're are more agile than the one we fought chief " tan replied " listen up boys, here's the plan warrior throw your blades and pick up the shields and when I give the signal you all will throw the shield to the ground and jump backwards as far as you can and scouts ready your bow and arrow make sure to aim for the eyes and let's make it rain boys" the chief ordered, the warriors and scouts all follow the order of the chief and get ready " boogg, booogg, booog, booggg" the sound of the shield and the unending barrage of attacks from the demons " now, make it rain!!!" the chief yelled, the warrior jumps backward as far as they can and the scouts aimed their arrows on the eyes of the demons "Swooooshh, swossssshh, swwwwoosssshh, swhhooossh" the sound of the raining arrows "thud, thud, thud, thud" the sound of the corpses of the demons as they fall down on the ground one by one " Agile my a*s" said the chief before he passed out of exhaustion...
