Cadell and his old comrades were united to fight once again, like what they were before. They were still a bit far from the academy, and a third class demon was blocking their way. Their battle against Kazer continued.

Kazer endured and pulled the arrow piercing his left eye. He was not amused, as he was too far away from the academy to restore his damaged eye. He looked at the arrow with resentment, but the arrow’s appearance made him curious. It was entirely made of a shiny metal, and it’s engraved with swirling marks all over. He determined that it was no ordinary arrow, that’s why it pierced through him.

Having thought of that, Kazer decided to not let his opponents get the arrow again. He tried breaking it, but his attempt was unsuccessful. Even with his demonic strength, the arrow remained as it is. He realized that the arrow is a special one, and so, he decided to use it against his opponents.

“Do you want this back, filthy human?”, Kazer asked Drogo. He wasn’t waiting for an answer. “Then here it is”

Kazer held the arrow like a spear. He aimed it towards Drogo, the human who managed to wound him. He released it, the arrow reaching unseeable speed, creating gusts of violent winds.

“Move!”, Cadell shouted.

The three men barely dodged the arrow. When the arrow hit a structure not far from them, the structure exploded, turning it into destroyed pieces. Witnessing Kazer’s display of power shocked them.

“Curses! We almost died!”, Brunus exclaimed. He was panicking, as he fully realized how much danger they were in against Kazer. “There’s no way we can do this! Let’s retreat!”

Cadell was about to say something to calm Brunus down, but Kazer started speaking.

“Do you think I will let any of you escape?”, Kazer stated. His anger was evident on his face, his gaze fixated towards Drogo.

“I need to get that arrow, can you two distract him for a bit?”, Drogo asked.

“No way! It’s difficult to hurt that demon!”, Brunus stated, his confidence crumbling fast.

“That’s why we need to assist Drogo. He’s the only one that can hurt that demon”, Cadell said, trying to calm Brunus.

“If Drogo shot him, that demon will use the arrow again to try and hit us. We may be lucky before, but there’s no way we can dodge for a second time”

Brunus was agitated. Cadell was trying to convince him that they have no choice but to fight. However, the only thing that he had in mind was coming up of ways to escape the demon.

“This is suicide Cadell. This is not a risk, this is a sure way to die!”, Brunus said. “If I must drag you two to go with me, I’ll do it”

[Strength Boost]

Brunus prepared himself to grab his two comrades to flee just like what he said. But before he could grab his comrades, Drogo pushed him and Cadell to the ground.

“Don’t talk too much, filthy humans. I’m still here”, Kazer said.

The demon threw a stone at them which had the same speed as the arrow. Drogo noticed Kazer’s movement just in time to save his friends.

“We have no choice, Brunus. That demon will not let us escape”, Drogo said. “Calm down first. Don’t worry, I have a plan”

Brunus was still reluctant, but he was also aware that the demon will not let them escape. He could escape successfully by himself, but even if he was afraid, it was against his will to just leave his comrades behind. And so, even with his doubts, he listened to Drogo’s plan.

“That is dangerous”, Brunus complained.

“Well, everything that we can think of right now is dangerous”, Cadell said.

Brunus couldn’t argue.

“What did I tell you, filthy humans?”, Kazer said. The demon was walking towards them, which made all of them anxious. But even so, the three men fighting against Kazer agreed on a single plan, and that’s the only good thing they could think of.

“Drogo, now!”

Cadell shouted the signal. Kazer didn’t expect it, but he was not concerned. However, he quickly realized what was going on, and that made him alerted. Drogo was running towards the arrow that he threw, the arrow that wounded him.

“I won’t let you!”, the demon said. Cadell wouldn’t let the demon interrupt Drogo’s run.

“Attack!”

Cadell’s iron giant punched Kazer again. This time, Kazer blocked the attack with his barehands, and the only thing that the punch made was make the demon more furious.

“Don’t get in my way!”

Kazer pushed the iron giant’s fist. The push was strong enough that the iron giant dropped on its back.

[Heavy Body]

Brunus threw a punch with all his might, against the furious demon. Kazer blocked his fist with a single hand, the demon clasping Brunus’s fist tightly. For a moment, Brunus thought that it was over for him.

A barrage of small earth cubes hit Kazer’s face. It was Cadell’s effort to free Brunus from the demon’s grasp. But, the cloud of dusts that the brittle earth cubes created didn’t manage to release Brunus from the demon’s hand.

“You’re annoying, filthy human. Maybe I should kill you first”, Kazer said, his focus shifted towards Cadell.

Cadell commanded his summon to stand before Kazer remembered Brunus. The iron giant struck Kazer, but even with the summon’s effort, Brunus was still unable to get away from Kazer’s hand.

“I had enough with all of you. You’re not worthy of my time”

Kazer looked at Brunus who was still desperate to get away. Kazer put his hand at Brunus neck, and lifted him. Kazer aimed to throw Brunus, which was certain death. But then, a voice made the demon to remember something.

“Did you forget me?”

Drogo was already aiming at the demon when Kazer saw him. Kazer was once again alerted because of Drogo.

[Whirlwind Arrow]

The wind enhanced arrow hit Kazer once again. His body jolted back, which was enough to loosen his grip for a short time. Before he could regain his balance, Brunus managed to slip out of his grasp and return to Cadell and Drogo.

“You almost hit me!”, Brunus said.

“But I didn’t”, Drogo retorted.

While the three men had time to be relieved, Kazer was suffering from trying to take out the arrow piercing his chest. The excruciating pain made it more difficult to pull out the arrow. He let out a scream, which made Cadell and his friends to remember him.

“He’s still alive..”, Brunus remarked, his anxiousness returning.

“Well, let’s not wait for him to pull that out”, Drogo said.

“Let’s finish this”, Cadell said.

The three men walked towards the demon with courage and desire to finish the fight. They were exhausted and afraid, but they felt that it would soon be finished. Kazer saw their determined faces, which made the demon fear for his life for the first time.

[Dark Wind]

At his last ditch effort, Kazer unleashed a storm of dangerous winds, that turned everything it touches into shredded pieces. The three men jumped back immediately, as they saw the destruction that the demon’s power did to the iron giant. Cadell looked at the direction of the academy, and he felt anxious once again. Kazer refused to be defeated, the battle was still not finished.
