Samuel and the Villagers! (2)

Peter was fast and ruthless. Even with the number advantage, they were still overwhelmed.

Rao had his bow aimed at Peter, staying 12 feet behind while shooting an arrow at every opening he could find, Even though Peter still manages to smack the arrows away or dodge, it still created some openings for Samuel, Gail and Eddy. They kept to fighting in close range since that was what they were best at.

Gail used his fists, being covered by metal gloves with small spikes at the knuckles, his punches were devastating. If he managed to land any.

Eddy had two knives, he moved with fluency and fitness unsuitable for his build, with his experience as a butcher, he knew exactly which parts to strike, landing some attacks but with not enough force to break skin or do much damage. Peter's skin was like thick leather, providing him with enough defense to ignore such small inconveniences.

Samuel tried his best to get into Pete's blind spot, but as much as he tried he could not move freely without a set of razor sharp claws coming his way, rendering him unable to do anything. Since he was not alone anymore and there might be the risk of friendly damage, he stopped using earth spikes and stuck to attacking with his sword, but having no results.

Robart and Sal provided magic support, since they were the same as Samuel, afraid of friendly damage since they lacked accuracy in their magical attacks, so all they could do was use their magic and only block or weaken Peter's attacks.

Ranold on the other hand was surprisingly good with a bow. Though not as good as Rao but he managed to distract Peter on occasion.

As the fight went on, more guards started coming, providing as much assistance as they possibly could. Which was not much.

Peter was slowly getting annoyed, he regretted not planning his hostage situation a bit better, but it was too late now.

As an arrow flew in the air, aiming at Peter's head, noticing it, Peter swung his arm in an attempt to block it.

WOSH!

A fast and precise punch, hit Peter in the arm, stopping his attempt and allowing the arrow to plant itself in his eye.

Roar

A loud painful shout shocked everyone, making the fight stop for a bit.

As Peter kept on screaming, his body pulsated, his face contorted and sounds of breaking bones and the tearing of flesh echoed through the village.

The group stood there in shock, as they watched Peter deform with his flesh looking like a bag of broken bones. But what caught their attention was the small changes that were happening.

Peter struggled to stay standing, his arms still covering his eye

"I'm going to kill each and everyone of you" He muttered under his breath, his voice broken.

His feet started growing longer, taking the shape of the back legs of a dog or wolf. His body grew bigger, his skin slowly getting darker and darker, his jaw broke, sounds of bones and flesh tearing itself apart slowly took shape into a dog like head.

"What the hell is that?" One of the guards spoke, trembling in fear.

"Peter that treacherous bastard, he's a Peasant class demon. A corrupted human" Robart spoke, recognizing the events that were unfolding from a book he once read.

"What is a peasant class demon?" Asked Samuel.

"It's a human that signed a contract with a knight class demon or above, but seeing he's a peasant class, I'm guessing when he was human he had no talent for magic, signing a contract with a knight class demon turned him into that thing." He answered.

"I'm guessing peasant class is the lowest type is it not? And are we not in a treaty with the demons, why is he attacking us" said samuel.

"No, those are different kinds, we refer to them as the light demons, since they do not practice any evil arts. And even if he is a low class, a demon is still a demon. Unlike the humanoid race we know of, his kind are the ones that surrendered themselves to an evil god, being tarnished by the dark energy, they no longer can be classified as a part of the light race."

"Why are we not attacking it when it's vulnerable?" Samuel was confused, seeing everyone stop their attack and only kept on watching it.

"We can't, it is not vulnerable, it's getting energy from it's master. If we attack now, that energy will be aimed at us, we have no choice but to let him finish his blasphemous change." Robart had a concerned look on his face, remembering the things he read, he knew that what they will face after this will be much stronger than the thing they fought a minute ago.

Upon landing his eyes on Peter once more, he noticed that he changed completely, becoming what they can only describe as a beast.

ROAR

It roared, sending shivers down their spines. As it looked down at them, it's eyes and skin were the definition of darkness.

It moved with frightening speed, smacking Gail with the strength of a Bear. sending him into the woods behind, only stopping after hitting a tree.

"Damn it" A guard yelled and rushed with his sword raised.

"yOu AlL SHouLd Lay dOwN anD suRrendEr youRseLveS To hIs maJesTy" The beast spoke in a demonic inhuman voice.

The fight started once again, but to their surprise, they could no longer subdue it. With every strike or every move, a weapon broke or an attack was dodged. It was fast and strong, they had no chance in doing anything to it now.

Without any other choice, dodging was all they could do.

They moved inside the forest, using the trees to maneuver away from the beast, but failing. It ended up with more deaths than they liked.

As they moved deeper and deeper, they came into a clearing. Where they had nowhere to hide anymore. Without any other choice, they started attacking it again. But this time, due to its giant build, Sal and Robart were finally able to use magic attacks. What they managed to do though is only anger it more.

They all knew their defeat was inevitable.

Eddy moved, striking it's knees and thighs, it bore no result, but it still got its attention.

It clenched its hand and dropped it on him, though a water projectile hit the arm and saved him.

Samuel ran around it, using his earth spike and attacking with his sword.

Sal was unable to dodge anymore, she acquired an injury while escaping it in the woods. She stood the furthest away, using her magic.

Seeing that he was safe. Eddy turned to put some distance between him and the monster.

As he turned, he saw someone approach them from the woods, It was Link. Eddy opened his mouth to warn him, but no sound came out.

His vision blurred, noticing that he was airborne, seeing a body on the ground twitching. It was headless.

"Is that me?" These were the last thoughts that ran inside his head.
