So this is actually my first scene where I write an action scene and im actually pretty nervous if things doesn't make sense, so can i ask for help if this chapter does go well. So, here you go:
I appreciate your kindness
Pieire and Uitare searched around the mountain looking for horses to ride on. But unfortunately, they haven't caught a glimpse of any horses yet at all, but still, their plan was after the training they will go to the kingdom's capital and know the current situation. Moreover, that's one reason they should continue looking.
Pieire Courtenay's [POV]
Jumping through the branches of trees, I would glance left and right every time I'd hop onto a tree hoping to find a horse. But what I saw wasn't a horse nor a demon beast. It was a group of people walking in distance.
The moment I saw them I hid behind the tree, avoiding being caught, for it is risky approaching them without knowing their identity, I would peep at them and observe their movements.
They carried swords and different kinds of equipment, 12 of them in total. They were on guard as they were pointing their swords and look at their surroundings as if they are alert to something. But of course, who wouldn't? This is the deep part of the mountain, a demon beast could appear at any moment.
‘Is it adventurers hunting for demon beast?’ My curiosity almost made me appear in front of them and expose myself, however, things couldn't get troublesome than before.
Just when I was about to reveal myself, my nose smelled something from their blades, although the distance was far, I can still smell it. During my training not only my mana and affinity were trained, Uitare trained me on how to use my senses sharper than any average human.
Right now, my sense of smell is triggered by the odor coming from the blade of their swords. No, not only that but from their clothes that were stained with blood also.
I never expected that they're still here... The followers of the Inheritor who set my village on bloodbath. Filthy creatures, who reeks of blood, are they still looking for me?
Unimportant follower's [POV]
“Ugh, ” I let out an exaggerated sigh. “If that child didn't run, we wouldn't be here in the first place.”
Surely, that "child" he referred was Pieire 6 months ago when they slaughtered Pieire's village. But for 6 months, they remained here?
“You shouldn't be saying that,” my comrade said from behind as I turned against him. “This is our lord's orders. For the sake of peace, we will risk our lives.”
Pieire who was secretly spying on them was frowned by confusion, looking for answers as he questions himself.
Pieire Courtenay's [POV]
‘For the sake of peace?’ I questioned myself, but nothing rang the bell.
I sneaked over by the bushes hoping to hear their conversation to assure what was being discussed. Even my senses have limits.
The bush rustled as Pieire began to crouch
The group of followers shifted their eyes where the rustling sound came from, making them consciously aware of their surroundings. They thought they were being ambushed by a group of demon beasts for they are in the deep part of the mountain.
“Who's there?!” He screechingly cried as his shoulders tightened.
Silence responded instead in Pierre's stead, the insignificant follower mustered up his courage to come closer to the bush where Pieire was hiding.
He walked foot by foot, his hands were claiming as he got nearer while the other followers on his back, stayed on guard.
Other follower's [POV]
Just as my comrade reached out his hands to the bush, a sharp clang passed by his neck, contrary to what I expected, their swords seemed to clash at each other, however, it was too fast for my naked eye to notice...
That my comrade's head fell off the ground and rolled into our as his blood spilled on his neck.
We turned around to call for help as soon as we saw his head rolled.
Our faces turned ashen as our lips trembled, we could've run but suddenly, I felt like the air has run out, I couldn't breathe and it was as if a huge boulder was crushing us making our knees tremble that we remained frozen.
What's this?
I-I'm terrified... Who in the world did we make mad that's giving off a thick aura of bloodlust?
The cold sweat dripped in my chin as I Slowly turned around on the bush where the source of this bloodthirst was coming from, and looking at it makes me want to regret my decision to my life. It was too terrifying. The dark aura that seemed to be bursting out of the bush, it must be my hallucination but I was sure that the dark aura was raging and it felt alive.
“Forget it, I'll just finish all of you instead.”
Someone came out of the bush, but what I expected was an Inheritor around age 30's, because only an expert on a battlefield can give off such killing intent. But it was just "another" child. We have been killing children village by village, how can I be afraid of a single child?
Seeing a child who popped out of the bush made me relief for a moment, I thought I was gonna lose my life for a second back there.
‘Phew...’ I wiped my set from my brows as I relaxed my shoulders.
“Watch out!” Yelled by a comrade from behind.
“Keuaaahk!!”A stingy pain went right into my stomach making my consciousness fade.
Never did he know he was thrust by Pieire with his longsword from a distance.
“Who's next?” Pieire looked back at the other followers with his menacing gaze as the dark aura bursts out of him.
