THOSE EARS...

"What being could kill a human , the strongest being this easily? " Lucas wondered in his head , frustrated , scared. Had all he believed his entire life just a lie? No , that could not be it. The man must have tricked and murdered him from behind. After all Markus was even stronger than Lucas. He was a child prodigy a silver class warrior. He could probably defeat an entire orc pack on his own. Yet how? How could someone like him get slayed this easily?

" How dare you attack a guard of Lotshaven? Don't think that – thhhat you will leave this place unscathed? A mere being like you can never fight head to head with a human." Lucas yelled.

"AHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHHAHHA" - The man laughed "you must joke quite a lot. I'm pretty sure I'll leave this place unscathed but I am not quite sure about you. A mere human who thinks that he is the greatest."

The man was covered in a black robe , head to toe. He had a good built and a sharp voice. The only bodily feature of his that could be seen from the robe were only bits of his long blonde hair and his bright golden eyes…

Lucas unsheathed his sword. But the next second , he saw blood , his blood. His sword flew out along with his arm which he was holding the sword with. He didn't feel any pain. He wondered why. He couldn't react. The man , was fast , way too fast. The moment he turned back he saw the man holding a 16-inch dagger , dripping with blood. Those red droplets falling from the dagger's tip to the ground made a sound which made Lucas grow crazy.

The man spoke , "You wont feel any pain from the adrenaline"

" YOU BASTARD!!!!! YOU FUCKER !!!! HOW'D YOU DO IT ? I'LL KILL YOU" – Lucas screamed.

"I believe you are only troubling your vocal cords by yelling at me. It wont save your life if you do so" – the man spoke calmly in a dead serious attitude.

" YOU DAMNED BASTARD ILL KILL YOU!!!!!!!" - Lucas yelled, grabbing Markus's spear and the he threw that spear with tremendous force towards that man. The man didn't feel the urge to dodge that instead he just touched the tip and the spear broke apart in two parts. "IMPOSSIBLE. IT WAS SPEAR. A LOTSHAVEN SPEAR MADE FROM DRAGONOIDIC METALS. HOW CAN IT JUST BREAK FROM JUST A TOUCH!!!! JUST WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU ?" Lucas frustrated , screamed. Then the pain of losing his arm hit him. He burst out screaming.

"I guess I'll end your suffering here" – the man took his dagger near Lucas's head. Lucas started pleading for mercy. That was all he could do. He was begging and crying but in vain. His pleading was nowhere close to even moving that man's heart. He was hell bound on wiping Lucas from the face of the earth or perhaps all mankind. A pleasant cold breeze blew past. It moved the man's cloak a little. Lucas saw a part of his face. He saw his smile. That deadly, sadistic smile as if he was enjoying every drop of blood, every scream, every tear that Lucas shed. But then it made sense to Lucas for that man to kill a person this easily after he saw his ears…

Lucas finally understood that man's motive and the reason of him coming here. He knew his fate from then on. Just before the man sliced Lucas's head off , he screamed in terror ," THOSE EARSSS!!!!!!"
