Outside, all the Gores Initiates members quickly got up but since they had a long night of drinking, it took time for them to find their barring's. They had to quickly get to Lastria's tent as two bell rings meant she had intruders in her tent and it also meant they had to answer for that. Some took their time as they thought the others would quickly take care of them for her and they did not want to be early for her tantrum.
Two of the ones that were already awake and freshened up were about to go and relieve the two that were guarding Lastria's tent rushed out and when they reached it they were shocked to find the two knocked out. They woke them up and fortunately for them it seemed like they were not that out of it.
After managing to wake them up, the four of them entered the tent. It went to show how inexperienced they were for choosing to spend time and wake up the two that had fallen rather than getting in as fast as they could to their leader and making sure she was safe. As the two were still dazed they could not get any information from them about the intruders until they got to see them.
seeing two kids in the middle of their room facing Lastria and her looking ever so beautiful with no concern in her eyes you could almost see the hearts that had formed in their eyes when they saw her. Their guards were down at that point.
Lastria could not yet tell if what someone was wearing had some magical elements to them but she could tell that what Sheyken was wearing had something special about it. After seeing that the boy was holding a Camorphiare, even though they were kids she knew that those born with Blessings were tough opponents even in their young age depending on the Blessing and how much they had trained it.
With what Sheyken was wearing and carrying, to her it would had not been a surprise to find out he had a Blessing and was someone's disciple. She wanted to play it safe which is why she called for reinforcements.
'Guess now we will find out what Initia....'
He could not finish his thought. As soon as the four guards had stopped walking in and were still behind them, Falgur in one swift move turned around and with lightning speed and charring the ground he ran on, he sliced the four guards throats open and then returned to where he was standing and looked at Lastria once more.
Sheyken looked at him as he looked at the blade and while shaking his head he then dropping it on the floor and then looking at him. He let out his hand as a gesture that he wanted something from him. Sheyken knew what he wanted after dropping the dagger he had given him, but just like Lastria was still shocked at how calmly and fast he had killed four Initiates. Sheyken was not using any weapon at the time, but it took time to bring down Agna who was also an old fossil.
Falgur had dropped the dagger because it was now dull and as a result the fourth guard was taken time to die and was still on the ground holding his neck while slowly bleeding to death. The cut had been shallow compared to the other tree.
"Their skin is too hard. You may need to put some force on most of them to get through it."
He said as he was waiting for Sheyken to hand him what he wanted from him. Sheyken got out of his initial shock and put it in mind to later talk about all that just happened. He thought that no ordinary kid even in Uros can take his first life like that and to put a cherry on top, to also give good advice soon after.
Sheyken took out Falgur's family's Sicapugi as he had asked him to keep it in Ruby. Lastria who's mouth had gone dry out of shock. She had taken several steps back and was ringing the bell like she had gone crazy. Seeing her actions, Sheyken took note that her being scared meant they did not have to worry about her for now. He turned around and looked at the entrance to the area they were in, expecting a rush of Initiates running in to save their damsel in distress. Falgur followed suits.
The fourth guard had also died at that point. Sheyken noticed that they were all scrawny looking but even though they were carrying the same kinds of swords, they were wearing different clothes that looked to cost quite a penny.
Men expecting the worst came running into the passageway which allowed three of them to stand shoulder to shoulder as they went in. They came in screaming for some reason which Falgur thought they were trying to scare them.
The first one who made it out of the passageway felt a force pulling him forward making him lose his balance and stumble forward with his head waist down. He saw the tent's ceiling as his head was decapitated without him knowing as Sheyken could finally let out all his pent-up frustration.
The next two were up. Falgur went on the attack but since they were on guard, the one Falgur was attacking managed to block his first attack but failed to block the next as the little boy was just too fast. A Sicapugi went into his eye and then having his brain shocked by the lightning that was coursing through the blade which was produced by Falgur.
The third went on an attack as soon as he saw a kid decapitate his friends head off like it was nothing. He told himself he would kill the kid who killed his friend and ask questions later what a kid was doing there. He swung his sword wildly with both hands as he wanted to chop off the kid's head too, but since he had put all of his power on the attack and Sheyken having just dodged it, he went off balance and could not recover his footing on time. He was met with a raging blaze attack with Plot Armor as sharp as he was having no problem slicing through his though skin and muscle.
The three that were following them after seeing a fellow Gores Initiate having his two arms that were holding his sword fly through the air, then having both of his legs cut in one go and his head chopped off thereafter tried to stop but the ones running in behind them were not having it as they wanted to protect their beloved leader. After seeing the head of their other comrade which had its blood vessels popped and charred, they no longer saw kids in front of them but saw little demons that had no empathy and were looking for the next target.
Lastria who had already once had a midlife crisis was having one at that point. She wanted a way out but the walls of the tent had been strengthened so not to allow her prisoners to escape was now keeping her in the hell that two kids had created for her.
As Sheyken was dodging the attacks using Raging blaze, he could feel the force behind their strikes. He was sure he could not block them for if he did he could risk being chopped in half, but he was sure he could parry them as their swordsmanship left a lot to be desired. If any of them knew any sword techniques he was sure they could have been in trouble. He also understood why Falgur had decided to always be on the attack as he was sure that one blew from one of the Initiates would do significant damage to him. His attacks focused on speed and not strength. He was a kid too and his Blessing did nothing for his strength.
The Gores Initiates were left with one member as the last of the crew fell. They could not stop the momentum as the ones in the front after seeing the gore presented to them by two kids wanted to slow down and regroup after the shock but the ones behind who could see nothing that was happening at the front wanted to get in. As the one in front pushed back the one at the back pushed forward. The fight was over when that happened.
Sheyken and Falgur had pushed through the passageway and ended up by the entrance as the space allowed them to move unimpeded and never allowed them to be surrounded. They could not handle Sheyken's Ranging blaze and Falgur's lightning speed even though they had more power than them. Sheyken counted at least more than 18 Initiates that they had killed. He looked at Falgur and was worried about what this would do to his still-developing mind.
They turned back and went to see how Lastria was doing. They found her holding two swords and waiting to see who would walk in. They also saw the anger in her eyes. The women who were still alive were now looking at her and some stood up as the two boys walked in.
"Sit back down!"
She yelled out in rage.
"And do not look at me! My beauty is beyond you! And yours belongs to me! Who allowed you to see my beautiful skin!?"
"Ok, this bitch is deranged."
Sheyken said, coursing Falgur to laugh.
"Who is the most beautiful person you have ever seen Fagur?"
He asked as they went closer to her.
"Ningal?"
Falgur said without hesitation.
"Lady, you do not know the first thing about beauty. I even met a little angel that was way more beautiful than you."
Sheyken said while remembering the sweet little angel that was Nanna.
"There is even a girl mopping the floor of an inn right now that is way more beautiful than you."
Lastria was about to become hysterical. Falgur stopped his walk beside Sheyken as it seemed he had something he wanted to get out of his chest with the words he was saying.
"It is simple UGLY OLD HAG. Beauty is the inner part of you that you project to the world and not the appearance of you."
Lastria lost it. She remembered the last time she was called ugly and it was the person who turned her into an Initiate. She remembered her telling her she was wasting her time with such an old ugly fossil and she would have preferred a young, youthful lady with her only turning her after she bagged and cry.
She remembered her laughing at her as she cried to have the opportunity and only for her to tell her how she basically had a short time to live now and that she could only stop the rapid aging by quickly becoming powerful right after she turned her. She left her just like that without giving her rituals or techniques on how to.
She went on a full-on attack with both swords with each swing of it whistling past Sheyken. He felt sorry for her as if she spent more time on her training rather than her beauty, she would have been the strongest Initiate he had faced and might have even managed to hurt him if not kill him with the strength she had. Her speed was almost comparable to Falgurs if he was not going all out.
He dodged the attacks as he used 'Maneuver' to change the trajectory of her attacks. After that, it was over in seconds as limbs went flying together with her head. He almost had trouble with going through her muscles as they were tougher than when he cut the Vatagreos neck.
All the women stood up this time as they saw their oppressor dead. After watching Raging blaze in full bloom, Falgur did not know what to think of the scene as the adrenaline died down in him.
They cut the chains of the women with a few vomiting what little food they had left after seeing the carnage the two boys had left behind. Their lives were forever changed as seeing a kid do what he did to a grown woman they considered evil will stay vivid in their minds.
As they finished cutting the chains, Falgur was in front of Sheyken and looking up to the tent-like he was thinking of something.
"A beauty is mopping the floors of an inn huh? ... wonder who might that be?"
He said in a mocking tone like he had a secret of his no one knew. Seeing his opportunity, Sheyken did not waste it. He put all his force on his right foot and so as not to let his foot go up his arse, he put his defensive field on Falgur and then gave him the mother of all arse kicks. He went flying and tore through the roof of the tent as it was not strengthened. The women did not know what to think of what just happened.
Falgur landed by where Esiyana was hiding. She checked who it was and after seeing it was Falgur, she went to him with happiness written in her eyes. The only problem was that Falgur was twisting and turning while holding his buttocks on the ground. She took a look at his face and jumped back in shock. It was red with vines wanting to pop out and as unappealing as a crying pig.
Sheyken was feeling vindicated for all the abuse he received from him. He led the women outside and after a search of the other tents, he found more women chained which he freed but there were others who had died from the abuse of the man. In one of the tents was the things they had stolen from the women and their homes as it seemed like non of them had a storage item.
He walked to where Falgur was and after seeing Esiyana reunited with her mother, he was happy they were not late in saving her. Falgur was holding Shadow's jacket as he felt dejected as Esiyana wanted nothing to do with him now after seeing him like that and him not being able to stop holding his butt in pain.
"Man! I will get you for this. Come here so I can kick your arse!"
He said as he chased Sheyken wanting to kick him. Two kids playing after what they had done was more horrifying than seeing them killing the man. Every woman who was at the main tent did not know what to think as they did not know whether they were traumatized by Lastria or the two kids as the two cases differed as night and day.
Salina undid her invisibility spell and did not know what to make of the scene. She had seen dead people before and even killed, but seeing the limbs of people flying and others' heads being electrified, with all this being done by two kids was not good for her sanity. She went back to the guild to report while unsure what to tell Seduralto.
