46 Chapter 46 - Firestorm (2/2)
Even then enchanted arrows were fired, Dr Pyro weakened again.
”Comrade, that is one of the 18 evil souls! We must destroy him while we have the chance,” Kenji yelled at the troll, and wiggling his fingers as if he were preparing a spell.
”Our warriors are close behind, if we wait we could-”
”No time! Wolf, enhance his speed too!”
As Tenko tried to figure out if that were a good idea, another faun screamed and Dr Pyro unleashed a torrent of flame that reduced the crystal knight to a molten purple puddle.
Gritting her teeth, Tenko buffed the agility of the troll that had only just wounded her, then added an anti-magic silver bubble for added protection.
”Go Trog! Show this enemy of our Captain what it means to face the Thunberad crusade!”

Howling, the troll seemed to have made his decision as he charged right at the Pyromancer. Dr Pyro was hit by another pair of enchanted arrows as he sent a ball of flame at the troll, the ball bouncing off the shield to explode above.
Yet even the slightest fire made the troll howl. The ground shook from the trolls heavy feet as it ran to crash into the Pyromancer and sent him flying. Getting up only slowly, Dr Pyro formed a sword of fire and thrust as the Troll smashed it's huge fists into Dr Pyro's armour. Shattering, Dr Pyro became exposed to one last arrow as his fire sword was thrust into the Troll's heart.
”Be cleansed!” Dr Pyro cackled as the fire sword exploded and tongues of flame were pulled from the smouldering forest to bath the Troll in flame.
Roaring the troll burned like a candle as it rampaged. Smashing aside trees, slamming the earth and dragging the Pyromancer along all the while the troll was incoherent. Running back into the forest the Troll slamned Dr Pyro into the earth again and again, managed to crush the last faun beneath its feet, and only then did it collapse to the ground atop Dr Pyro's mangled corpse.
Hurriedly Kenji ran to the charred corpse and began to reclaim it. The thing was huge, and would take days to properly be repaired. But such a powerful body...and not even to mention the Pyromancer that he would only be able to reclaim once he had gotten the troll off first.
Unfortunately by the time Kenji had finally pulled the Troll within him, horns were blaring and Kenji could hear the sounds of marching feet and clacking steel.
”Kenji we have to go!” Tenko whimpered, Kenji giving the Pyromancers corpse one last longing look before he nodded and followed.
The Fauns had died to the last however, and that meant the party had no guide left to steer them. Thinking quick, Kenji pulled up one of the faun corpses onto Tenko's back.
No sooner had they began to slink away did the warriors and priests of Warden Company charge from behind. Met by the walls of fire and with the air a choking mixture of ash, Kenji hoped they didn't see Tenko's white fur as they raced away.
”Just get far enough that we won't be caught by them for the moment. I have a plan to get us to the Far King, so just focus on escape,” because for Kenji, this faun being dead wasn't a good reason to not get the information he wanted from it.
