Our heros, David, Luka, Wistas, and Ren, aiming for the adventuring city, they reach a small land owned by farmers where they restock and get ready as things are starting to get real!
On the way they fought some goblins and lizardmen, which made them sure about their strength and power also their battle tactics. sometime later, they reach Vera town where they are supposed to stop to rest and restock again, instead they find a noisy surprise:
People hurt badly laying around and some houses are destroyed and others are on fire while louder screams are heard from farther ahead inside the town, our champs run to act!
Luka: ~nervously shouting~ Hey David! Hurry and use some water magic put off the fire!
David: ~Calmly letting his magic crystal ball flouting into the air while sighing~ I know I know, I am already at it you don’t need to yell. Wistas Hurry and check further inside the town and get rid of the monsters if there is any.
Wistas: ~Silently and seriously, he dashes to the inner side of town~
Ren: ~Running after Wistas~ I will go with him!
Luka: ~Yelling as usual~ Wait Ren, stay with us, use your Healing magic for the badly injured citizens and children!
Ren: ~looks around her and she notice all the injured people laying around and some screaming in pain~ O-okay… ~she said that while her eyes are still stuck to the view of badly injured screaming from pain, and gets back and starts healing them~
After a while, Ren is still healing dozens of injured people, Luka is helping searching for missing people beneath the broken houses, David is searching for evidence about what happened and asking uninjured about what happened here.
Suddenly, he stops and get down on one knee, looking at footprints and he looks very interested by them.
Meanwhile, Wistas is back and there is an old man with a small white beard is walking by his side, the old man is well dressed also not harmed or even has dirt on his cloth, also he looks very frightened and scared.
David: ~Stands up looking at the man with an interest look on his face~ And… who exactly is that man with you Wistas?
Wistas: ~Looks at the old man and start talking~ Tell them.
Man: ~Nervously talking and shake in the process~ I-I am the Mayor of V-Vera town and-
Luka: ~Interrupts~ The Mayor?? And what in the name of blaze exactly happened here?!
David: ~sighing~ Let him talk Luka so we ALL can know.
~Luka rolls his eyes around and nods, then looks away from David, Ren looks at them worried and silently letting a sad sigh out~
Mayor: ~Faking a smile and close his eyes~ N-now now, I know I d-don’t look the part b-but I am the Mayor! Ahem… now l-listen carefully as I tell ya’ll ‘bout this a-attack. ~he suddenly becomes very serious about it~
“There is some bandit who came by few days ago and they wanted us to supply the, of course they didn’t intend to pay anything except problems, I didn’t agree and then they started yelling and threatening me to turn the whole town to ashes, and then without any harm they left saying they will be back when they need some supplies, right away after they left I assigned an urgent quest about searching and eliminating/capturing those bandit as a high risk quest, Yesterday an elf team of 5 came by and took the quest and left for the bandit hideout, and as you see these few burned destroyed houses is the bandit thank you gift about the elfin team, also they kidnapped some girls while burning down the houses, please try to find the kidnapped girls and bring back what you find from the stolen supplies they took, I don’t really know if the elfin party is alive or not but please DO try to find them please, we don’t want political problems with the elves at these times, I forget to mention that this elfin team we are talking about has deep connections with the Great Zora the Ruler of the elves. This is already an official quest but we will rise its prize because of the raising risk of those bandit, please help us with that bandit, who knows what else they will do if they are not stopped, I will even give all of you some items to Help you, it’s supposed to be part of the prize but consider it as our help with this problem.”
Luka: Guys, lets have a small team talk for a moment.
~Luka, Ren, Wistas and David, gather away from the mayor for a small team talk~
David: Do think what I am thinking? This mission will be the best mission as our strength proof and we will be able to be official adventures sooner, however their large numbers may be a problem and mostly that’s why the elfin team lost in-front of them… ~He is excited and don’t look like he really cares for the town or the elves life…~
Luka: Hmm, I don’t know… ~Looks kinda worried, and thinks deeply~ it doesn't look easy to me, but these people DO need help about this, so I am in, what about you Wist my man?
Wistas: Hmm, I agree with David, they are no match for Diablo powers anyway.
Ren: Th-that’s right b-but, ~she looks troubled and nervous~ people here s-still need more help! The Hospital was destroyed as well as the other medical facilities, i-it must be planned for, they are s-smarter than what we think perhaps? I-I want to stay and heal those who are in b-bad shape, o-okay?
Luka: I agree with you, Ren will stay back and we go take care of the bad guys! Yeah?
David: Wait, ~thinks a little bit~ they have advantage with their numbers there is no need to put our team in more disadvantaged, we need our full strength to ensure our victory.
Wistas: The bandits may run away if we keep wasting time.
David: I don’t think so we know their hideout thanks to the elf team scout and they are sure of their strength because they defeated the elfin team, I don’t think they are planning to run. ~turns to the mayor and speaks to him~ hey mayor, do you know how many members those bandits have exactly?
Mayor: No not really, the ones who come here are from 4 to 5 but in this attack, they were more than 12 so we don’t really know if there is more or not.
David: perfect, now we know their place, least number of members and image of their strength.
Luka: Image of their strength? We do have that David?
David: Actually, I do, ~smirks~ while you guys where busy I questioned the people who saw the attack, now let e tell you my pla-
???: Excuse me! ~A short blonde girl wearing black clothes with weird marks on them, she looks very distressed and nervous, talking to David with serious face as she clenches her tiny fists~ Please! Let me join you!
David: ~the very confused David looks at the girl with surprisingly~ aa-what? Listen there is no way a ki-
???: I am not a kid! You will need my help! Please hear me out!
David: ~turns to the mayor~ Who is this BRAT?! ~turns back to the girl~ who do you think I am? Do I look weak?
Mayor: ~clears his throat~ Ahem, is sister Saia Jonathan, a high-level member of our church, she just looks small but she is actually 19 years old, she is very good at light magic I was thinking of asking her to go with you, but as you see she came on her own, you can trust her, she is a sister after all.
David: Humans truly have random growing rate… ~he is having a problem understanding how she can be useful~
Saia: Mr. David, I am sure you will need my light magic support, I fully understand the situation as well! I promise to be helpful!
Luka: well I don’t mind, what about you? ~faces Ren and Wistas~
Wistas: as long as she doesn’t get in the way.
Ren: We will need her support, we don’t have a support magic user, I can use heal magic but its weak and slow so its not effective at battles and my other spell are all offensive, Luka san doesn't have magic and Wistas magic is also offensive, and David san mainly use pure elemental energy.
David: hmm, indeed, I guess you will be useful after all Saia.
Saia: I assure you that I will be!
David: Now back to the plan…
~he shows them a plan that perfectly combine their powers to cover for each other from all sides...~
They spent the rest of the day helping the town people with the injured and the destroyed buildings, its few hours from sun rise, the perfect time to sneak into the bandit’s hideout.
They find 2 guards in front of the cave entrance, Wistas assassinate them silently so they don’t alert the bandit within the cave, but the surprise was that as soon as they enter the cave, they find 2 lizardmen monsters! They are not strong or anything special but that means the bandits have monsters within their members which was out of plan!
With a swift slash from Luka’s sword and a deep stab from Wistas twin daggers the monsters lay lifeless, as they look around the dark cave Saia creates a faint light ball so they see, there is a passage leading deeper in but here lies lots and lots of harvests, they must be the Vera town stolen supplies, they march forward with caution…
The first thing they found in this room was 2 dead bodies lying on the floor!
Luka: wh-WHAT THE!!
Wistas: Shhh!
Ren: ~Falls backward in terror and all her body is trembling~
David: Wistas search them! ~Wistas examining the bodies…~
Wistas: Both elves, without any equipment, not even a small knife or one coin, looks like they put the bodies here to scare of adventurers like us from going deeper, let’s keep going.
Saia: how poor they are even after they are murdered, they used their bodies, those bandits are worse than what I thought. ~Deep sadness is showing up her face~
They go further inside, but this time there is 2 passages, one is weirdly large and its very dark inside as it was a wall painted black, the other way is human sized and there is a torch on the wall, unlike the other rooms before the room through this passage seems to be bright.
David: lets head for the dark room first, I guess we will face the bandits within the bright room, we have to make sure there is no more enemies from behind as so we don’t get surrounded, Ren guard the way from behind us.
Ren: R-roger!
As they head into the darkness, they all suddenly close their noses, as the stench in this room is unbearable! But before they manage search the room 3 stone golems attack them!
Luka: Everyone behind me! Fast!
Luka jumps in front of the rest, rising his shield to block the giant fist of the golem, almost losing balance he manages somehow to block it using his “Loyalty shield” with this time given David manages to use a spell and Wistas uses his skill:
David: Perfect FREEZE!!
As the golem is frozen by David's attack Wistas appear behind the frozen golem swiftly stabbing it, this combination leads to shattering the giant golem into small tiny pieces of ice, but the rest two golems are not idling at all as they try to attack Wistas back, thankfully his skill makes him appear behind his target for a few seconds before returning to its former place behind Luka who is blocking the other golem’s attack, Ren jumps and slash the golem with her axe destroying its rocks!
David: Now for the last one before any other monsters appear! Perfect FREEZE!!
Wistas: Shadow Betrayal!!
Luka: Guided Strike!!
Though the golems are a real threat and strong monsters, they were no match for the strategy and speed of this team, however they found even more terrifying view after they slain the golems.
Luka: what on earth happened here?! ~All of them filled with terror~
Ren: What k-kind of bandit c-can go this far?! This is beyond awful! ~she shakes and sweats coldly~
They forgot the stench of the room just viewing this mess: An Elf heavily breathing laying in a lake of her blood, clothes torn apart and so is her right leg, torn away from the rest of the body and her left hand almost became like the leg, the rest of the body filled with cuts and bleeding, with her last strength she manages to say her last words.
Elf: Th-tha.. nks… for.. kill.. ling them… plea-*coughs* please… sa.. ve… m-my… f-frien-…..
And her soul leaves her body before even she finishes her words, David closes her eyes, they all get out of the room as it appears to be a dead bodies storage used as both food and toys for monsters, that’s probably how they managed to add them to their lines.
As they go to the other room, they see that it’s a weaponry, however the only thing out of the place is some elf equipment put in the front, seems to be recently added to the collection of weapons, obviously this is the elfin team equipment: some damaged armors, 3 bows and a large amount elfin arrows, 2 swords, 5 elves in total as the mayor mentioned, 2 of them found dead at the cave entry, the one that just died in front of the team eyes, which means there is 2 left that may be alive!
~as David and Ren were examining the elves equipment, Luka and Saia were searching for useful items to take, meanwhile Wistas came back from behind some large boxes…~
Wistas: hey, I found a way through here, lets move forward if you all are ready.
David: ~holds Saia from her shoulder~ Hey, hold on to this, ~Gives here one of the elfin bows and an elfin quiver~ maybe we will need them, now let’s go.
Luka: I think I will borrow this sword; its long blade will make good cuts in those bandits hahahahah!
Ren: I found a better axe too!
Wistas: Hurry up. ~goes behind the boxes once again~
As they move to the next room they see an elf girl tied up and gagged, but she looks really REALLY ANGRY from the look on her face, also she is kinda blushing, mostly because she is wearing only underwares, Luka immediately go to untie her on the sight, while Wistas is looking around to see other girls on the corner tied up also but they are unconscious, perhaps, moreover they are all humans.
~As Luka untie the elf, she gets up very fast and without warning she slaps him! ~
Luka: What in the hel-
Elf: What are you pigs are gonna do next?!
~And in a split second she jumps attacking Luka with a barrage of fists~
..…
~After they solve this awful misunderstanding, she calms down but she didn’t even apologize!
Elf: I have to admit I had to notice that you are a dwarf and not human, hm, so you came here to take down the bandits like us?

Luka: Hey! At least say you are sorry you arrogant child!
Elf: Like I will old man!
David: hey hey now, stop this, here take these ~David passes her the elfin equipment that they took earlier~
Elf: Where did you get those from?! This is my teammate’s bow!!
Ren: There is some kind of a weaponry from the way we came from, all your team’s equipment is there, you were 5, right?
Elf: We ARE 5, don’t say it like they died!!
David: As an elf too, I am very sorry to be the one telling you this, but we already found 3 of you dead, But I am glad you are this healthy unlike the last one…
Elf: N-no way! wait, can you describe them for me please?
~as David describes the 3 dead elf they found, her face turns pale as the snow~
Elf: … n-nho, Aluri noo ~and her voice breaks into tears, however she wipes them out and get back to her strong personality as she speaks back to David~
Elf: I will join your team, my name is Loran, and you?
David: David, a mage.
Luka: And I am Luka, a warrior, and I don’t think this will end well…
Wistas: Wistas, Assassin.
Ren: Mine is Ren, a magical warrior, its great that you will be one of our team
Saia: Saia Jonathan, a healer and a light magic user! Glad to meet you again!
Loran: again? Wait, you are from that church, aren’t you?
Saia: Yes, that’s me! I am really sorry for what happened to your frien-
Loran: I don’t need sympathy, I need you all just to help me kill all of those bandits, lets go already they are just ahead! They always stay at that room, which means its their main place in this hell of a cave!
Luka: You said it!
David: before we go, lets just adjust our positioning to improve the team work abilities.
They reposition they self swiftly, Ren, Luka on the first line, while Saia and Loran in the back line, and David in the middle.
They go to the next room prepared for the worst, but weirdly enough there is no one in the room, just a few chairs and a large table and some kind of a hand-made throne, few papers and purses of coins on the table, surely the bandits were here, but where are they now, a puzzle for our heros that is.
Loran: b-but I was sure some of them went here!! And they didn’t get out so where did they go?!
Luka: Maybe they went out while you were taking child nap and didn’t notice anything.
Loran: Hey! Watch it gramps!
Luka: What did you just said?!
David: lower your nonsense noise please!
Wistas: It seems there is no other way in or out the room, except the way we came through.
Ren: Maybe we should go back to the entrance of the cave?
David: Indeed, but it doesn’t hurt to look again within this room, there must be a hidden trapdoor or something!
Saia: But what about our unconscious town girls outside? If the bandits came from the back…
Luka: Then, me and ren will guard that room, you guys take your time looking here, call us if something happened.
David: good thinking.
Few minutes pass, nothing happens, David, Wistas, Saia and Loran didn’t find anything useful in the room, while no one came in the room guarded by Luka and Ren, but there is surely something eerie in the air…
Ren: … something is totally wrong in here… ~cold sweat drops is on her for head~
Luka: You are damn right about this Ren…
Meanwhile the room behind Luka and Ren…
David: Hmm, nothing here after all, what about you Loran? Saia?
Loran: no… nothing.
Saia: I don’t see anything special here too.
Wistas: … ~he rises his head looking at the ceiling for a moment~ …
David: …? Wistas? Found something? Hurry up we need to get out and look for the bandits! ~There was a small earth shake for s split second, and some dirt falls of the ceiling~ …Huh?
Wistas: I think I found something after all David! Everyone go to the entrance NOW!
Loran: Darn it! ~she runs for the entrance~
Saia: Woaah!! ~Loran grabs Saia on the run and carry her on her shoulder~
David: why would I run to th- ~Wistas jumps on David pushing him away from the point he was standing on, falling both on ground~ By all the spirits why did you DO THAT?!
Before they have the time to say any more words, some of the ceiling falls off and as a result the room air is filled with Dirt, as the clouds of dirt fades, David and Wistas are both surrounded by 2 stone golems!!
???: HAHAHAHA! You should have seen your faces! You guys didn’t even search under the table!! ~a shadowy figure gets out from a trapdoor under the table as he laughs again~
Wistas: under the table?! Tch!
David: Get off me already! ~Pushes Wistas off and then both stands up, getting their backs against each other while drawing their weapons~
Saia: D-mmghf!! ~Loran shuts Saia’s mouth with her hands, shaking her head for her as a sign, taking an arrow out of the quiver right after that and taking aim~
Bandit#1: Golems! Finish them!!
David & Wistas: JUST TRY IT!!
As the golems launch their fists against David and Wistas without wasting any time, Wistas is engulfed in shadows as he used his “Shadow Betrayal” David on the other hand, his magic wand glows in blue as he uses his freezing spell.
David: PERFECT FREEZE!!
Wistas: BETRAYAL!
And in a split second one of the golems is defeated, the other one is attacking too but before his fist reaches David, it breaks into pieces by Loran’s arrow, On the other hand the last golem manages to hit Wistas as he lands sending him flying away and causing a lot of Damage, David takes jumps a few distance backward into Loran and Saia’s direction.
David: Wistas! Can you attack one more time yet?! I have to do this all by myself hmph! ~he gets out his magic crystal and letting her float in the air as it glows~ Double Essence: PERFECT FREEZE!!
~As he says the spell word, both his wand and crystal are glowing in blue, and then in a second both shot out an icy blue magic ball, enough for both golems, freezing each of them~
Saia: Don’t worry, I got this! MERCY SHIELD! ~As she shouts the spell while aiming both hands forward, a yellow light ball emerges from the air and then fly right to Wistas and engulfs him~
Loran: yeah yeah, you don’t need to give me any credit for my efforts in that aim… ~that was sarcasm~
Wistas: *coughs* *coughs* Where is Ren and Luka?!
At the very moment he says it, Ren enters the room charging her way to the frozen golems, Luka enters after her by a few seconds.
Luka: you guys wont steal all the lights while I am here! ~He throws his shield right at the bandits ignoring the 2 golems~
David: Ren Go cover Wistas hurry! ~His wand and crystal both glow again, but in yellow this time~
Ren: Roger! ~sliding right beneath one of the golems as shortcut to Wistas and then standing in front of him and turn to face the golems as they began to move once again resisting David's ice spell~
David: Double essence: WILD SHOCK!! ~this time, Large yellow electric ball is shot from each of his wand and crystal, one going directly at the golems, another hitting Luka’s shield right before he hits one of the bandits~
As a result of this great team work, Both golems and the bandits are shocked to death, the ice on both golems made it possible to hit them with the same power, and Luka's shield as its made of iron it absorbed the spell within it driving it directly to the bandits head and the other one is very close to him so the electricity easily jumped to him.
However, there was no time to rest as our heros have to go and see what lies behind the trapdoor the bandits came out from.
Ren: Are you allright Wistas? You seemed hurt when I covered you.
Wistas: Saia’s magical barrier healed me.
Ren: Oh, that’s a relief! ~she smiles at him, but still there is no reaction from Wistas~
David: Hey Loran, thanks for taking that golem’s hand.
Loran: Don’t mention it, we Elves take care of each other back always, no matter what. ~She seems proud and happy as she gets the credit~
Luka: Hey guys! Did you see my great aiming with the shield?! It flew right to that bandits’ head! Hahaha!
Ren: it almost flew as fast as me when I was going for Wistas!
Saia: The hit was direct and delivered David’s spell right to his very brain! hehehe *giggles*
David: ~as they reach the trapdoor David speaks up seriously~ Now everyone, eyes on the prize, get ready for anything, this trapdoor looks newly built which made they added this after Loran’s team attack on here to add more protection, there might be more of these annoying golems and more likely bandits.
Everyone: Right!!
As they move down through the trapdoor they see about three bandits obviously waiting for them, however the room looks like was dig out very soon as there is still piles of dirt every few meters here and there, the guy in the middle is sitting over a throne, showing up his leadership in such a fancy way, moreover the throne here seems more well-made unlike the one from above, the guy in the throne smirks up as the team get in and then he stands up.
Bandit’s Leader: I see you didn’t just make it down here, you even added that elf brat along your lines! Impressive indeed, you fool elf had your chance to leave the cave but you want to die with them? Or perhaps you just want to join your teammates, right?
Loran: ~Clinching her teeth and holding her bow with such rage~ That’s it! Maybe you did defeat me when I was using a sword, but my real thing is the Bow! I will decorate your head with my arrows and take it with me!!
David: Calm down! We will do it together or they wi-
Loran: NO! they are mine, the 3 of them!! ~she takes 3 arrows from the quiver and hold her bow horizontally putting the 3 arrows at the same time and start to aim up~
The Leader: I am afraid its neither this nor that, my co-leader will play with you along these two. ~he points at the two men standing by his sides~
But soon they notice that he said his co-leader along with the two, but there is no one except those three in the room…
Suddenly the whole place rumbles just as if it’s an earth quake!
Wistas: Not again.
Luka: your attacks will never get through me!
Ren: More Golems?! ~both Ren and Luka move to cover the rest of the team~
The floor cracks open wide between the bandits and our heros, as a giant metal armored creature gets out right from that big chasm, only his top half is out yet he reaches the ceiling, the two bandit members jump over the chasm to the shoulders and then off to the other side of the chasm.
Bandit#5: Hahaha! You won’t be able to do anything!
Bandit#4: This will teach you brats not to miss with us!
Luka: tch! Even I can’t block this thing hits!
Wistas: and his armor will be a big problem for us
Ren: No way! A Giant Knight?! Aren’t these creatures supposed to be only near the lava swamps in the far far north of Yardsel lands?? ~her hands are shaking~
Saia: how did such a creature is listening to these bandit’s orders?!
Loran: … Ha! ~She shoots 2 arrows at the eyes of the giant warrior! But the warrior moves his head and the arrows just bounce off his iron helmet~ …tch! I knew it, this think has some brains inside his thick helmet.
David: guys focus! I can take care of that giant if you guys helped me, Luka, Wistas take care of those bandits first! Loran, Ren, Saia cover them up from those giant attacks! Let’s go!!
Everyone: Let’s GO!!
~Luka, Wistas, Ren all of them run straight to the enemies, Wistas and Luka aiming for the Bandits, while Ren is distracting the Giant
Ren: H-hey! You metal can! Do you think you are fast enough to hit me huh?
~Jumps at the Giant trying to slash him but the result is only a lot of sparks and one scratch and Ren's Axe bounces back
Ren: Its tougher than I thought!!
~The giant rises his other hand from the chasm, revealing a HUGE axe, slashing the whole area with it
Luka: WOAH!! Where did that come out from in the name of blazes?!
~Luka slides beneath the giant’s axe and barely saving his head with his shield, which flies away in the process of it.
Wistas on the other side swiftly jumps on the axe and from it to the other hand of the giant right behind the other bandit member and then the both start the slashing and dashing
Wistas: These guys are not weak at all!!
Luka: I know right?! But this just adds to the fun!
Meanwhile Saia and loran…
Loran: … I can’t get a clear hit! They all are moving too fast and too much!
Saia: Same here, if I used my support spells right now, they might apply to the enemy instead!
Loran: I wanted to save my mana for latter but at this rate there will be no later, hey David! How much time you still need?! Didn’t you say that you will take down that freak?!
David: I used most of my mana on the last 3 golems I need to make this right or else! One shot one chance, Here. We. Go! Mana guide: PERFECT SHOCK!
Loran: so am I! Guided Arrows: TRIPLE SHOT!
Saia: Ren Luka Wistas!! Stay away from the Giant armor!
~As they her out her words, they all get away, just a moment before the shock blast hits the Giant’s head leading to wide area of shocking bolts of electricity, the bandits however, dodged them, but the moment the feel relief, huge pain arise as Loran arrows go all the way through their back to the chest, making the bandits fall as they are overwhelmed in agony as they start leaving out this world.
The Giant warrior is still very alive, that attack just made him angry, as he now swings his axe a lot faster and with more power, Ren, Wistas and Luka all pull back.
Luka: what now? This thing is invulnerable!
David: not at all, the fact he is angry proofs that my spell gave him some pain, but my mana is at its limits, what about yours Wistas?
Wistas: I already run out of mana in the last fight, I am not a mage you know.
Ren: I still have alot, I can replace Wistas this time, maybe I am not as fast as him but I can sustain more damage thanks to my heavy armor!
David: But that same armor will cause in hitting both you and the Giant this way with my shock blast!!
Ren: I guess its one of those “No pain No gain” moments, eh? But its this or we all die here! ~she starts running straightforward to the giant who is rising his axe as a response~ Do it already and shot at me David!! NOW!!!
David: tch that idiot, You better not cry about it later! PERFECT SHOCK!
Ren: DEMON SLASH: DEVOURING AXE!!
~She jumps dodging the giant’s hand and stands above it, as her axe starts to glow in purple the giant slashes with his huge axe, But Ren swiftly play with her axe switching it from a hand to another and then blocking the giant’s axe, everyone is shocked at this fact even the giant himself, his axe even cracked a little on that point! Ren pushes the giant axe away as David's spell is getting close, she jumps in front of the Giants face rising her Axe up high, David's Blast comes in contact with Ren’s glowing axe as its working as lightning rod, the Bolts of electric moving through the axe and Ren both, then her axe rapidly came down on the giants helmet, like a lightning bolt from the sky, and share the strength of its bolts with him, creating a large sparkling light that illuminates the whole room, as they hear pain screams coming from both Ren and the giant…
When the sparkling bolts stops, they see Ren on the ground standing on one knee while the giants helmet turns into 2 pieces showing his face that has burnt with the bolts of electricity from moments ago, but he is still alive!
Ren: … N-now, hit him with all what you got guys… ~she falls to the pain and lose consciousness~
The Giant: RRRGAAAAH! MUST KILL THEM ALLL!! GAH!
~ The giant rises his axe as he plans on killing Ren and then the rest, but both Luka and Wistas sprint in hope to reach him first while Loran takes aim once again
Loran: Not so fast ugly beast! This time without your Helmet you are easy prey for me!
Luka: Wistas, lets take care of that huge axe, shouldn’t we?
Wistas: right.
~Luka blocks the giants axe from hitting Ren barely and then Wistas jumps and rapidly hits it multiple times in the cracked spot that Ren made, leading it to break down, and at that moment Loran shots her arrows that goes directly to the giants eyes, piercing them and reaching within his brains, which leads to make the giant feel horrible pain as he screams and then fell to death, and luckily his dead body makes a great bridge to to the trembling Bandits leader who has no other way of protection and fear is visible within his eyes, as Luka, Wistas, David and Loran are slowly but carefully getting close to him…
The Leader: 0-oh! Y-you are approaching me, while you know that I am stronger than all what you defeated so far HA! ~He is sweating…~
Loran: ~She takes another step which makes her in front of the others~ Haa? Who said that I am approaching you? I just get close so I don’t miss my hit by any means, EMPERIOR ARROW!
~She shots an arrow in a very high speed…
The Leader: … *opens his eyes* heh, I guess you missed after all!
Loran: look at yourself, *giggles* You didn’t even feel it piercing you!
As he looks down at himself, he finds a small hole in his chest, that you can totally see through it, at the scene of it, he falls dead, showing another hall with the same size on the stone wall behind him as the early sunshine sneaks to the room through it…
They all leave the cave at once, taking a rest outside it with the beautiful view of the first sunshine rays light up the whole place around them, Wistas and David go back to the town to spread the news and get some men to help them retrieving all the girls and supplies from the cave, Saia stays and take care of badly injured Ren, while Luka and Loran do some patrols around in case any more bandits came back to the cave.
