Biggest chapter i writed yet . I'm thinking of writing an another ff cause of some idea who keep popping in my head .

==========================================================================================

[Mark P.O.V]

I slowly opened my eyes , my vision was still blurry and I felt a intense pain at my head , I moaned in pain .

I first asked myself what happened , then I remembered that I got my ass handed to me in a gold platter , a lot of people was watching too . I still think that I putted a good fight for a beginner .

I looked around the room , I was in a king size bed  in a luxurious bedroom who looked like it came straight from the medieval age , the room is gigantic , with two table and a desk , sixteen chair and two big windows . Since it was night , the sun light wasn't coming from the windows . But what caught my attention was a girl sitting in front of the desk , long silver hair reaching her waist and a pair of golden eyes . She's a bit skinny but still have a magnificent figure . She looked like Valia .( AN : I noticed that I never described her , my bad .)

No way that I'm attracted to a underage girl . I thought as I see pedobear floating in front of me giving me the `I know what you did ` look .

Valia : " Oh , mister Sigfrid . You're awake ! "

Mark : " Argh , don't call me mister , it make me feel old , just call me Mark . "

Valia : " Yes , mister ,hum , Mark . How are you feeling ? Do you remember what happen ? "

Mark : " I wish I didn't remember it . So , How did you get here ? " I asked as a got up from the bed .

Valia : " Sister Lusella send her me here , she told me that I could learn a lot of things to help her . "

Mark : " Why would you want to help her ? You know that she's a demon right ? I got my reason but what about you ? "

Valia : " There's good and bad demon , like humans . She saved my life and gave me a purpose to live a new one . Tyrell wanted us to start over in an another city but all I want it's to help sister Lusella , and she already explained why she's here . "

Wow , I'm the one who saved her but I wasn't even mentioned in her speech . She wasn't kidding about a army of loyal human subordinate . Dem brainwash is op .

Valia : " Oh it's the dinner time , would you like me to take you to the dinner room ? "

Mark : " Yeah , I only ate breakfast . "

I raised myself from the bed and looked around the room one more time , Valia mentioned and told me that I'm provide with new clothes . So I wore the new close and get ready for the dinner .

We both left the room in direction to the dinner room . In the dining room , Finil and Roland were already eating .

Finil : " Oh M. Sigfrid , I'm happy to see that you're fine . "

I nodded before sitting on a beautiful chair made in wood , across Roland .

Valia : " Your dinner will arrive shortly . "

I gave my thanks to her , she nodded in return and stood still behind me like any maid would .

Roland : " Mark , I wanted to apologize for what I did to you . I think was too hard on you . And just for you to be assured, you're very good for a somebody who has no experience with martial arts ."

Mark : " Well , from my perspective I didn't seem to be any near to being good . "

Roland : " Don't worry , I can assure you that you did well . "

We passed the night talking about my world , and I was pretty sure they didn't understand half of the things I said .

Roland : " Mark I'll see you tomorrow at 7 am to start training . "

After taking the last detail about the training with Roland , I left the dining room with Valia who were leading me to my personal bedroom .

The next day, I met with Roland at the training hall and like asked right on time .

Roland : " So , for the next nine days , I will teach you how to defend yourself . As I saw from our sparring you didn't even try to parry nor dodge any of my strike .  "

Mark : " Well , I dodge most of the time with magic . "

Roland : " That's exactly why you should learn to defend yourself without magic ! You shouldn't waste your mana for something you can do without it , and what will happen if you're out of mana ? Do you want to be the type of mage who become totally useless when they're out of mana ? "

For my defense , I can say that most of the time they're long dead before I'm `oom` .  But he does have a point and better keep this thought to myself because it sound ridiculously arrogant .

Mark : " True , please go on . "

Roland : " Like I said , I will teach you when to dodge , parry or take the hit . You have analyze the situation and act accordingly . "

Mark : " Easy to say . "

Roland : " That's why we will spend fourteen hours a day to teach you how to react to the different type of situation."

Mark : " What ?! You want to kill me ?

Roland : " Don't worry , I'm gonna go easy on you . We are starting with the stick ."

For the next two days , I was training to dodge the stick that he use to hit me . One would say it should be easy , not when he `stick` it at you with a cadency of a AK-47. But still after many hours of training I succeeded to dodge most of it .

 For the third, fourth and fifth days , Roland and some of the guards shot me with arrows without the arrowhead . They shoot from every direction , it doesn't look as easy as it seems when there's six guy shooting at you an arrow every second .

the last four days , I spend it sparring with Roland , and this time he did go easy on me .

Roland : " Of course it's good when you know how to dodge and parry , but have to know how to exploit the opportunities and spaces that it procure . "

We were protected by boxing gear who covered most of our bodies so we can train longer and have less contusion .

And finally the days when we are suppose to execute the plan came . I was in my bedroom , preparing myself for the upcoming event until somebody knocked on my door . It was Valia .

Valia : " There's a little problem Mark , Hammerbon is here and he want M. Seror to come with him to the transaction point . He told him to brings ten of his best guards with him . I think he want either kill or submit M. Seror by involving him into the transaction . " She said as she handed me a guards uniform .

Mark : " Very smart of him , but too bad for him , we already planned to kill him from the starts . I think it's even better if we are amongst them from the start , the ambush will be even more surprising . "

Valia : " You have to wear the uniform , then join them at the entrance of the manor . "

I quickly wore the guards outfit and was on the way of joining  Finil . When I arrived at the front entrance them I saw a dwarf in fancy clothes , bald with a huge black beard , and behind him a hundred guards .

I walked right behind Finil like the other personal guards of the Seror , Roland was standing right next to me at my left .

Mark : " I guess the plan changed . "

Roland : " Not really , we will still ambush them , but instead of having fifty man coming from the forest , we're going to have ten men in their ranks . "

Mark : " Our decreased number should be a problem ? No ? "

Roland : " No , Sure it'll be harder  but it won't be a problem . Oh it's time to go by the way ."

We , Finil guards , were behind Hammerbon guards . Finil was at the front of the group walking next to Hammerbon. A carriage was next to us , probably where the summoned are .

We left  the city rather quickly , and marched straight to the forest where the meeting would be held .

Roland : " So , I did a bit a scouting and there's only three guy in Hammerbon group that are worth saying strong . First there's that huge blue armored guy , he's Hammerbon best guards , he's using a shield and a sword , they call him `the fortress` because of his good defence , he's probably going to stay near Hammerbon to protect him . " He said as he pointed at the guard who are standing next to Hammerbon.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

Roland : " There's the black haired guy in pony tail who's smoking too . He's a mercenary at the service of Hammerbon , they call him `The tempest ` because of his mastery with the dual blade and how he use them with wind magic . "

Roland : " And the last and most dangerous one , The Red Dragon , he's the guy with the red spiky hair and wearing a red rob , he's engaged by Hammerbon  for his mastery in fire magic . Like his title can tell you he's crazy . So be careful around these guy . "

Mark : " Got it . "

Reaching the meeting point , they unloaded the carriage , as to confirm my suspicion the six summoned was indeed in it .

They were six of them , I can see Alex and Sasha amongst them , with James Pray and James Devan , I could recognize them because I saw the blockbuster they played . But couldn't say the same thing for the other two . 

As soon Alex and Sasha saw me , they looked at me with such intensity , no need to be Sherlock to know what they mean . They were all gagged , with both arms and legs tied . To try to calm them down before they blow my cover up , I winked at them, hoping that they understood me , and I think they did . Because they stopped looking at me and were cooperative with Hammerbon guards .

Twenty figure are walking toward us , all in armor covering their entire bodies . They armor are all in black and the same , except one who looked better than the other one , all in demonic style armor we could see in games and he was the only who's head wasn't covered by a helmet . His skin are a bit purplish with two horn coming from both sides of his head .

Hammerbon and the demons who seemed to be Balathan , talked to each other . From where I'm standing I couldn't hear anything , the demons showed their carriage full of metals .

As they're discussing , a barrage of arrow enhanced by magic and different magic spell crashed into the demons and Hammerbon guards .  A big fog of dust formed after the impact , me and the rest of our squad with the nearby guard and summoned wasn't affected by attack since we were too far away .

As the dust started to disperse , fifty red armored people , probably Lusella and co , rushed to the demons who didn't seem to receive much damage since they protected themselves with a barrier made by multiple black armored knight . 

Unlike the rest of us , half of Hammerbon guards are already turned into ashes . Harmmerbon himself survived the

Roland : " Time to move Mark , I will let you deal with your friend the summoned . "

I nodded at his words before I dashed where are the hostages with `Lightning step` and send flying all the guards who were guarding them with a punch who destroyed their faces in less than two second .

The guys that I punched all take off from the ground nearly the same time . I casted and shot a `Lightning beam` at the pack of guards in front of me , making sure to not hit Roland or Finil in the process .  The light disintegrated everything on his way and upon contact with the ground exploded , everyone who were standing near ten meter radius got blown away , human part and people were flying everywhere .

The distraction that the explosion made gave me enough time to free the prisoners . As soon I freed them , Sasha ran towards me and hugged me , she is crying .

Sasha : " Haaa , I thought I was going to die ! "

Argh , she's crying what should I do ? I thought as I don't have any experience with this kind of situation.

Alex : " Thanks for rescuing us Mark , but how did you know that we've been captured ? "

Before I could respond her , a wave of fire were coming straight at us . I fired a another shot of `Lightning beam` to counter it . It did stop it , but a man in spiky appeared in dust .

The Red Dragon : " Hey , I thought that you were with us , what are you doing to my precious money ? "

Mark : " Alex , I didn't know . So now go to where Damien is he will protect you . " I said as I pointed toward Damien .

The others asked if they could do something to help before I shut that idea down , in the end they thanked me before going where is Damien .

While being distraction by the discussion I have with ex-prisoners , `spiky hair ` casted something who seemed to be three fireball except that it looked like missile and he could control it . He directed his fireball towards me, I used `lightning step ` to dodge them one by one while  shooting him `lightning ball` which didn't do anything because his casted three more directed fireball to counter my spell and the missile doesn't want to crash into the ground .

So with `lightning step` I instantly dashed in front him ready to punch him , but as soon he saw me he exploded and it sent me flying covering me with bruise made by the fire , it burned some of my clothe before I could extinguish it .

He created again the homing fireball , this time I tried to dodge them without using mana . There's some close call but I successfully dodged them every time , I was trying to waste his mana  .

Not like I have anything better to do , the demons group are getting ganged by fifty man , it won't be long before they fall  and Balathan is slowly getting crushed by Lusella and co . The Fortress protecting Hammerbon  is crumbling bit by bit from Finil attack and Roland is going relatively even against the dual sword welders .

But `spiky hair` is growing impatient , he gave up hitting me with his homing ball . So instead he invoked two homing fire dragon . I couldn't dodge them without `lightning step` but this time I positioned myself so the dragons will hide me from his sight . I formed a ` lightning spears` in my arm and aimed at where he stood , the fire engulfed the spears before in appeared at the end of the tail and bolted in direction of `spiky hair` . But as soon he saw it he dropped his dragons and concentrate a shield made of fire , the spear still pierced it and inflicted a small cut to his right arm .

Spiky hair : " Nice try . It a real pleasure fighting you but it's time to end it . "

He said as the cut in his arm healed , red scale were forming on his skin , he got taller , bigger , more muscle mass , sharp nail replacing the previous one and his face became more reptilian . Even though his hair are still spiky red .

Mark : " It's this what draconian supposed to look like ? Damn you're ugly , me who thought that draconian were supposed to be sexy . "

Spiky hair : " Shut up !!! " He said angrily as he spit fire on me .

Magic circle were forming under me , pillar of fire are coming from them . I dodged the pillar and dashed at him with the intend of pierce him with a `lightning spear` but before I could do that he propelled himself at great speed , surprised me and bashed me away with a inhuman strength before I could use `lightning step `to dodge.

As I flied ten meter away and landed on the ground painfully , coughing some blood , I think that I have some hemorrhage inside me . But spiky hair didn't give me any time to rest and formed a pillar of fire under me , I dodged in extremis by rolling on my right .

I casted `lightning beam` but while casting it , I used `lightning step` to close the gap between me and the red reptilian . 

Shot it right on his face , the explosion distanced us by fifteen meters , I was badly hurt by the explosion , half of my clothes burned with second degree of burn covering some party of my body , spiky hair wasn't better , he was covered by his own blood , I could see some part of his body are covered by third degree of burn .

Using the last bit of my mana and strength , I used `lightning step` and formed two `lightning spears` in both of my arms to get in front him instantly and thrust it in chest . But in his last bit a strength he hugged me and started to glow redder than he already was .

Spiky hair : " At least I will take you with me ! "

Mark : " HA ! Too bad for you . I . Can't . DIE . " I said while smiling .

A shocked and horrified expression formed at his before we exploded in thousand pieces .
