Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Alex:'Damn, Urg seriously needs to fuck someone, hopefully not me, she stayed all the time near me constantly asking me if I needed anything, while Catherine seems happier to see me around.'
After Ludwig "invited" him to eat with them, he had spent the rest of the day at the Golden Boar, hearing their stories about their hunts and how cool Catherine is, during the whole time he was obliged to drink whenever they drink, but the moment his basic Alcohol resistance reached 30, all the dizziness he felt lessened by a lot, now he is just a tipsy, but he still can think straight.
The only reason why he was able to escape from the inn was due to the explosion of a fight, he took advantage of the chaos to sneak away.
Now he is walking towards the Guild, he is using the shortcuts that Ludwig reached him, so to lessen the journey, but he didn't know that because of this, his night wouldn't end as he expected.
Alex:'This alley is too dark, I can't see anything.' He thinks while walking through the ultimate shortcut to reach the Guild.
But before he could go outside, get felt something strange, as if someone was staring at him.
Alex stops walking and runs towards the end of the alley, but he has to stop in the middle of the track due to a dagger flying towards his legs and head.
Because the alley is too narrow, and due to the trajectory of the knives, Alex could only evade one of the knives.
Unlike what the attackers expected, Alex didn't react by only evading the knife aiming at his head, he also stomped his leg on the ground, and earth formed in front of his legs blocking the knife from touching his leg.
Alex takes out his pocket dimension his halberd, it can be used only for stabs, but it can be more useful than a sword in a narrow space.
Suddenly from the roofs of the buildings on his right and left side, 2 people jumped down, one behind him, and one in front of him.
Alex created another earth wall behind him and then dashed to the one in front.
The assassin threw four knives, aiming at the arts of Alex,
Alex:'Building a wall would block my movement, I have to reduce their precision.'
Alex used his wind magic to create a gust of wind that partially changed the trajectory of the knives, causing only a small cut in Alex's skin.
The assassin then takes out two daggers and slashes towards Alex.
Alex stops his run, few millimeters away from the daggers range, and instead creates a stone pillar that smashed against the stomach of the assassin, that stunned him for enough seconds so that Alex could stab him right in the center of the eyes, killing him on the spot... or at least he thought.
Before he could stab the assassin, he felt a stab from behind him.
Alex:'FUCK, it took him less time than I expected.'
Alex uses the pommel of the halberd to hit the assassin on his, but he evaded it.
On Alex's right side, an open wound is begging to drip blood on the ground, but that wasn't all, Alex felt a sudden wave of dizziness hitting him, he felt the world moving, and before he could react he fell to the ground.
His last thought before fainting is...
Alex:'Poision.'
And then he faints.
.
.
.
In a dark room lit by only a small candle, we can see a guy less than 18 years old with a bag on his head, roped to a chair, with also his hands and feet roped together.
Two beings enter the room, their whole body is covered in black clothes, not letting anyone see their face and so their gender, and nether their race.
One of the two removes the sack from the guy's head, which is Alex, and then he forms a ball of water and throws it at Alex.
Alex wakes up due to the splash of cold water on his face, he looks around, he doesn't scream, instead, he is using every second to understand where he is, and if he has any chance of escaping.
Being 1:''He is really is special, instead of screaming, like everyone does at their first kidnapping, he is just looking around, kekekeke it will be a pleasure torturing you.'' It said with a distorted voice
Being 2:'' You know our job number 99, we just need to collect information, and we have to do it fast, the Guild is on our tracks, fuck even Urg has entered a rampage.'' it says with the same distorted voice.
While they are talking Alex sees his pocket dimension on a table inside the room, so his weapons, if still inside, are secured,
While they are continuing to talk to each other, Alex tries to create a wind blade, so that he can cut the ropes holding his hands together, but he felt a kind of disturbance not letting him control it.
One of the two beings turns towards him and even with his face covered, Alex can sense a smirk on his face.
Being 2:'' It's useless, this room is created to disturb the manipulation of mana, so your magic here is useless, and since you interrupted our discussion...''
Being 1 understands what he meant and takes out a knife from his back, and with no hesitation, he stabs Alex's leg, but he doesn't remove the knife.
Alex uses all of his willpower to not scream, knowing that it would only please the two, and be useless to his safety.
Being 1:'' Ohoho we got a tough one, luckily for you I have many toys.'' He gets out of the room leaving his other companion inside.
Alex:'If mana doesn't work I will have to do it in the old manner.'
Alex and rolls his eyes behind, turning them white, to make it seem like he just fainted, he then hangs his head towards the ground.
Being 2:'' Did he already faint? What a weakling.''
It forms another water ball and he launches it at Alex, Alex expecting it doesn't react when the after touches him.
The being now worried for the safety of their prey, neared him and was about to touch the neck of Alex to sense his pulse.
Alex instantly turns his head towards the hand, he opens his mouth and...
*AHHHHHH
Alex spats on the ground 3 fingers, and raises from the ground with all the chair, his intention is to slam against the wall and at least free himself from the ropes holding him to the chair.
*CRASH
The being was on the ground holding his hand that now only has 2 fingers, suddenly it looks up only to see a piece of wood aiming for its visible eyes.
Alex:'One down, other I don't know how many to go.'
Alex goes towards his pocket dimension and sees that everything was still inside, even the halberd, he takes out the sword and he uses it to cut the ropes holding his feet and hands.
Alex:'He was able to use elemental magic even though he said it was impossible, so he might have something on him.'
He begins to search the body, and just like he suspected, on his arm, there is a bracelet, and the moment he touches it he tries to manipulate mana he was again was able to do it.
He then tears a piece of his clothes, puts it in his mouth, and forms a small fire on his hand.
Alex:'This is going to hurt like a bitch.'
He removes the dagger from his leg and uses the fire to cauterize it.
*MPHHHH
When the smell of burned meat filled the room, he was finally able to breathe again and his teeth stopped hurting.
He puts the pocket dimension inside his shirt, and takes the sword out, while also leaving the knife on his left hand.
He gets behind the door and waits for the arrival of the second one.
After 2 minutes he heard the sound of footsteps coming near the door.
The being opens the door, thinking that nothing could go wrong, but Alex kicks the door, which directly slams against the nose of being 2 breaking his nose and stunning him, making him fall to the ground.
Alex gets out of his hiding place, he gets one of them being 2, and before it could shout he slashes its throat, making it drown in his blood.
Alex searches the body for any valuables and finds another bracelet, just to be sure he puts it inside his pocket dimension.
Alex then looks around, searching for a way out, the only thing that could lead him out is the ladder in front of him.
Alex:'Too easy, fate isn't so stupid.'
Instead of rushing out, he crouches on the ground, to the displeasure of his leg, and slowly gets on top of the stairs, which lead him to a wooden door.
He puts his ear on the door, from the other side he could hear 4 voices, but there could be more, so he has to be careful.
Alex:'You wanna kill me? Then let's how you feel if I kill you all pice of shits.'
Alex takes a deep breath, even though his lust for blood is limitless at the moment, he needs to think straight.
Alex:'They are too many just for me, so instead of fighting them on, let's kill them slowly, one by one.'
He takes out his halberd and readies himself, this will be a long night.
Alex:''HE ESCAPED.'' He said with a distorted voice.
He learned the trick in few seconds, you just need to manipulate the sound that traveled through wind/air so that it sounded distorted as if 3 echoes of the same words fused together.
He hears footsteps nearing the door he was in front of, when the door opens Alex, immediately stabs the one in the front, just to be sure he didn't aim at the head, not knowing their height, he instead aimed for the abdomen, and even if it was a dwarf, it would still hit.
The one on the other side is surprised to see Alex, so he doesn't have the time to react and sees the Halbers pierce his stomach.
Alex pushes forward he creates at the same time 2 fireballs one of them gets thrown at the one he stabbed, the other instead is throw just as a distraction, if it hit, he would be lucky, and he was.
The second fireball didn't only hit someone, the explosion had actually hit 2 people that are now trying to put the fire down.
Alex throws his halberd on the one he stabbed just to be sure he died.
He takes his sword out and begins to scan the area.
Apart from the one killed and the two on the ground trying to turn the fire off, there are two other guys trying to understand what the fuck just happened.
After all, for them, the job was supposed to be easy, a newcomer traveler that only killed the bear by "luck", when they saw him use magic they were already surprised, but now, they were scared, by this traveler, no emotions on his face, even after killing more than 3 living beings.
Alex stomps the ground and at the same time, a stone pillar and a fireball appeared, the stone pillar was under his feet, it propelled him against one of the two, while the fireball in his left hand was used to distract the other.
The one attacked by Alex's sword raises his weapon hoping to block it, but Alex's sword plus speed because of the stone pillar were enough to not only slice the weapon in 2 parts but also slice this head off as if was butter.
He creates a gust of wind that causes his feet to turn towards the wall instead of his head, he creates another pillar and just like before launches himself against the other one.
After evading the fireball, he tried to assist the other 2 on the ground, but before he could reach them Alex had already but his head off.
He creates another gust of wind but this time to make him fall on his feet.
He goes towards the 2 assassins that were rolling on the ground.
He raises his hand towards them, and 2 fireballs began to form, he put all of his remaining mana on this magic, which was enough to form two fireballs as big as a basketball.
Apart from the now-dead assassins also the building began to catch on fire.
He looks around and finds the door to go outside, his mind was exploding, his body demanding to rest, the only thing that is letting him go on is his pure willpower.
He slowly walks towards the door, his feet not even lifting from the ground, but his grip on the sword not even lessening by one bit.
When he opens the door, he is surprised.
He expected everything, another room with enemies, a forest, a ravine, or to see the slums.
He would have never expected to see Catherine's group, with Urg, Gustav, Leonard, Morgana, Roshi, and some other guys he didn't know the name ready to enter the house by breaking the door.
When he sees them, his mind finally relaxes, and his mind begins to shut down, but not before saying the last pun.
Alex:''Took you long enough.'' And then everything became black.
