2: Impending Battle.

As he ran forward he quickly realised that there were multiple soldiers after him when multiple arrows were fired towards him.

He took a detour to his right and after a while of turning around, he was finally able to manipulate his pursuers to his advantage.

He now had three arrows which were all poisoned for some reason but it still was to his advantage, at least for the moment.

He was quick in jumping up and through the trees due to his incredibly agile and flexible body and from the top of the trees he began launching the arrows toward the soldiers.

" Their plate armour is one problem but even the slightest grazes across their necks or faces should be able to wear them down." He thought as he threw the first arrow.

The shot only ended up barely grazing the man's neck just like he wanted and it wasn't long before he gave in to the effects of the poison and fell to the ground.

They all stopped in an attempt to help up their comrade and that was when he took out three more of the pursuers the only thing left to do was to take out the last one and he didn't have any tricks left to do so.

He jumped down from the tree and while the last soldier was busy with the other two fallen comrades, he quickly got to the fourth one and took out the spike that had pierced into his ear.

" Using paralysis I see. Tell me, why are doing this? What could be possibly trying to prove for god's sake?" The soldier questioned as he quickly drew his sword, ready for the impending battle.

He quickly fit the spike into his pocket and said, " I could ask you the same thing. How would you feel if it was your daughters getting abused every day or maybe your fathers and sons getting laboured and pushed around each day, perhaps you would understand me a bit more."

" You don't seem to be an other-worlder, are you trying to play hero for what you possibly couldn't understand? These people tried to take over our home and it's time they paid for what they did." The soldier said in rage.

" Time to pay for what they did, these people are nothing but weaklings that can barely hold a candle to the world's originals, what could have possibly done." He thought as his entire body began to tremble uncontrollably, " What was happening all while I dwelt in that cave for fourteen years."

The guard quickly charged towards him and he immediately began to back away, but he wasn't quick enough as the gap between them was closed and the guard quickly went for a slash straight down from his neck.

" He's trying to kill me." He thought as he quickly rolled back and got on his feet.

The soldier's attacks were swift, fluid and powerful. He was being forced to use a form of magic shield to block the aftermath of the soldier's swings which were easily cutting through the trees around them.

After a while, he decided to take a very huge risk by holding out his left hand in an attempt to grab a hold of the soldier's sword but even with the magic barrier he set up around himself, a direct hit from the sword was able to easily cut through the half of his left palm.

He watched as half of his fingers fell to the ground but it had also succeeded in slowing down the soldier's momentum, allowing for him to quickly slide into his pocket and throw the dart straight towards the man's neck.

It wasn't long before the effects began to wear him down but before he gave in, he said, "Believe me, you'll regret every moment of what you just did."

He looked around at the scene for a while and just as he took a step forward towards where he had come from, he heard the lady he had just rescued scream from the distance.

After taking the nana boots, he quickly dashed forward at twice his original speed. When he arrived there he found five soldiers surrounding the helpless lady who had a poisoned arrow stuck into her leg.

Burning with rage, he instantly ran to her aid and as soon as he came close, he placed his hands on the ground and with them pushed himself up. Now in the air, he spun around quickly and kicked one of the soldiers hard on the face.

The impact of the force sent him flying while all the others got ready for him. His speed was quite impressive as he quickly charged straight towards the next one immediately after his feet touched the ground.

Had this been against any other type of long-range attackers then he would have been beaten the moment he jumped up to kick the first person but crossbows are pretty much useless once the enemy is more than six feet close to you.

He slid kicked the next soldier and as soon as he went falling, elbowed him at the back of his neck. He slumped to the ground as the next soldier came towards the enemy.

With the strength left in him, he lifted his newest victim to block the attack that came swinging towards him and after that grabbed a hold of the blade before proceeding to punch the man hard in the face.

The fourth soldier was about to shoot an arrow towards him when the last one signalled him to stop and slowly walked forward towards their opponent.

" You seem quite adept in saving her. Are you so foolish that you would fall in love with the likes of her or are you simply trying to test your fate..." He said, unsheathing his sword and tossing it aside, "Well I can assure you that it ends in nothing but misery."

" My reasons are simply none of your business and besides aren't the slaves you have in the capital already enough for you?" He asked, breathing heavily with his gaze on the lady who was lying helplessly on the ground.

" I'm sure you remember quite well what happened to the past royal family. You might want to stop now before the entirety of your family gets dragged into this mess along with you and besides, some of them are quite stubborn so we usually end up executing around ten to fifteen each day." The soldier with a slight evil chuckle.

His eyes instant widened after that and his eyes began to twitch as he said, "So you're saying that you stripped a royal family of their entitlement simply because a member of the family had an affair with what you decided to call other-worlders, and you stand here proudly, talking like it was the greatest thing that's ever happened in your life. I'll kill you, even if it's the last thing I do!"

" They are nothing but tainted disgusting souls inhabiting our forms and no we didn't strip off the royal family, the throne simply fell off after the king's son decided to have an affair with the likes of her. He was executed along with the woman carrying the disgusting being in her womb and you'll be granted the same..."

Before the soldier could finish, he charged towards him. He had heard enough of his rambling and was more than eager to beat the hell out of him.
