23 Chapter 23: The Demons Approach (2/2)

And so Ned trained his body and mind everyday awaiting the upcoming invasion.

......…...

Once again days pa.s.sed and now there was just two days left. And if you went up the wall you would be able to see a dark ma.s.s of red heading this way.

Today as he was getting back from the warriors guild he was feeling a bit tired so he wanted to eat quickly and enter the s.p.a.ce to meditate, meditation was sort of relaxing for him even better than the sleep but sometimes he still likes to take a short nap.

After he ate his food, and while retiring to his room, he met Lori standing near his door.

He was not too surprised though, as he always had the map on, when outside of the s.p.a.ce, and he had seen her when he was eating.

”Hey, do you need something” he asked as he got close to her.

She nodded and said ”I wanted to ask you, will you be partic.i.p.ating in the fight against the demons?” he saw the anxiousness on her face.

”Yes I will, I want to see the threat that everybody speaks of” he said, and it was real as he really wanted to see the demons.

”It is dangerous, you don't know how brutal the demons could b-” she started saying but stopped when he held his hand up motioning for her stop.

”I know that you are worried about me, but you yourself should know that you should never look down on people, although we have gotten close, you have actually never saw me fighting right? So you don't know how strong I am and also I never underestimate my enemy” he said as he taped the katana on his waist.

”That's a good idea, I have never seen you fight, how about you fight with my grandpa? It would help me feel at ease and also be an experience for you too” she said looking at him hopefully, he was her friend and she wouldn't want to see him die. And she knows that many people die when fighting the demons.

Ned was about to say no, but then he thought against it. He had never fought another human being or a humanoid monster, so this fight would be helpful to him.

And so he nodded his head ”Okay I agree”.
