Cohen Kheda: The main character Marfa, Jack, Wilder, Moya: Cohen’s friends since childhood, today’s Dark aruard
The high screae was hit, along with his horse Astruck down and ments
We had no choice but to place our bodies close to the earth and allow the earthy debris to fall on our faces Our horses that have kept us coone
”Marfa!” I called out loud
”Crystal ice storm!” Behind me, Marfa ju arroards the left side of the hill, ”On your left!”
”Inco to warn us, he then fetched another arrow
Crystal ice storht be able to release this spell in another five years The spell earlier could have been just ordinary frost bolts
Marfa’s distraction had won us a little time I had to pay close attention No matter as the attacker, if they had an earth spell warlock in their team, and if that sorcerer were to release a random spell like ”Wrath of the Earth”, then ould all be screwed
”Moya, Maiza, to the right! Wilder, with me!” I craith my hands and feet to the side of the hill, and Wilder roared and followed Although the attacker caht side was a potential threat as well
When ere inches away froic attack wave came This tihtning However, the lightning was extre toward me!
I dreeapon like a crazy person and shi+elded myself with the blade sheath Then, my body fluttered forward
My htly changed its direction and ”Crack”! My black steel sheath was struck into pieces while the leftover blast made an enormous pit behind my body
I was thrown in the air, then kicked further to the hill by the blast’s force
Who was it! Didn’t he need to chant the spells before using ic?
I clenched my teeth and supported myself up Next, I crouched doards a small woods not far away
”Crystal ice storm!” Another few frost bolts flew over our heads It was Marfa’s support
On the right side of the hill caun co the unknown opponents The soldiers ere on thedesperately to support us But,t they were rather slow co
”On my own!” I talked to myself, and found myself not far from the small woods
A black figure ju the Marfa’s Crystal ice storms It was a h?
Another guy wearing a black cloak stood up frorass He tilted his silver bow to bloay Marfa’s last frost bolt with his right hand on the bowstring A dark arrowhead aimed at me
”Seleno Tuo” The first guy to jue and swept his axes over my head
Can you slon! I need to steady myself!
I ward the attack with the Manchete With the force I borrowed from the dwarf’s axes, I rolled to the left and fled
”A!” The dwarf must’ve been wretched He roared and chased after me
”Wanna catch s?! No way!”
The black archers sawtowards hi
”Seleno Tuo!” The dwarf behind rose once again I did not even need to think to know that his axesdown violently towards my precious head
Shon! I turned around and raised ainst the dwarf in mid-air and shouted, ”Marfa!”
The uess he could have never foreseen that I would make a sudden stop and turn That moment hen he passed over and arrived at his expected landing spot
The tih for Wilder to catch up
”Crystal! Ice! Storm!” Marfa shouted once more
”This again! You daht bitterly
I shared a look with Wilder and the two of us rushed towards the dwarf from both sides
The dho landed was not able to steady himself and was forced to step back by Wilder's bi-handler Before he could take another breath, I slashed my blade and left a deep wound on his shoulder
This was our training outcome One plus one equals more than two
It was ”, the archer finally launched his first arrow His estiet hit by the arrow or turn back to defend and let the dwarf attack me
I did not have much time to think and let down the blade I had in hand In the htly to avoid the arrow that aimed at my heart There was only so much that I could do
”AH!” I was shot The arrow left a bloodied hole in my shoulder
”What the hell Who is he? My armor is made of black steel!”
Thehis arm and shoulder I assumed that Wilder could handle the dwarf all by himself My opponent was now the archer himself alone
Judging by the short distance, he would be able to release another arrow before I reach hi by his archery, that arrow could endbehind
What should I do? If I don’t go, I’d be dead
Anyhow, I rushed to the archer with eyes wide open
”Crystal ice storain supported me with his fake spell
Listened to Marfa’s lack-of-strength shouting, the man with a bow sneered and let off the arrow on the bow
I knew that he would definitely block Marfa’s shot before killingin one moment
”AHHHHH!” I sped up, and his sneer became colder
Marfa’s shot flew over my head, and I raised my weapon as well
Come! I will kill you even if you destroy my heart!
The archer picked his bow and challenged Marfa’s arrow I heard a crisp sound then saw Marfa’s arrow bounce away
Then, thebacked, he fetched an arrow and fixed it on the string of the bow The whole set of his ive him that
”AHHHHH!” I rushed closer, but had still not been shot by him Anyone knew the fact that a close shot equalled to an accurate one I was harsh
”AHHHHHH!” I was even closer, but still no arrow! I noticed his lip quivering slightly
”shi+t! He was enchanting the arrow!? I’ll die an ugly death”
”AHHHHHHH! Ah?” I was now closer than it ever was, still no shot! I was astonished What rong with hi else?
”AH!” I rushed over towards him like the wind and finally knew the answer
”Frost… bolt… it’s really the frost bolt!” I swore to Protoss, the archer’s last as, ”You fooled me… bitch!”
I was unable to find a proper explanation for this fact However, I was sure that I had definitely looked like an idiot because I reo back to stab him after I ran far away from him
His body was frozen in ice He was still looking awesome when his headless body fellHis awesomeness then became a loser’s face
I rushed back into the woods
Awordlessly in an open space within the trees Ahis face
”Were you waiting for uy, which relieved s, ”Kneel if you don’t wanna die”
”We are alone here Don’t get over your feet” He said in a small voice, ”I came here prepared to be killed If I’m not dead when I return ho to do with kneeling to you”
”Look around” I put the Manchete on my shoulder and stepped forward, ”Your people are all dead Your life is in my hands Kneel!”
”Yeah, they are dead” The e looked around, ”All was left with me”
”With such a close distance, you won’t have a chance to usespell”
