17 「Shadows」 (2/2)

Wadding side to side as he was coming closer and closer to him with complete disregard for what his words even meant. Peter held the weapon above his head, ready to dig it into his friend's body.

”Peter...” Lukrut rushed forward, which caught his friend who was being mind controlled off guard.

However just as he was about to put his friend down out of his misery, Clementine came back into the picture. The blond would yank the blade out of his friend's chest and arm, before plunging it into his gut.

It started as searing pain, before he was in complete ecstasy within seconds. However, that wasn't the end of it as she began to take the weapon out and shove it right back into him. She did it over and over again.

Peter had collapsed on the ground, choking on his own blood. Gurgling as his eyes watched in horror as his friend was being murdered so unfairly.

Turning his head slowly, Peter watched as Dyne's corpse was beginning to rise from the ground in front of a kneeling Khajiit. Trying to roll onto his side and reach out to his friend, he stared up at the leathered face of his friend. The multiple colored skin tone from the acid burns, and the zombification spell used to create the undead.

As the light all around him was beginning to fade, all he could hear was the maniacal laughter of the madwoman and the sloshing of warm flesh being penetrated by a sharp knife.

Just as he was about to lose everything, with his eyes on his friend and the door, a singular tail-like appendage tore through the door. It skewered the evil spell caster, having caught him off guard, and decapitated Dyne in the process.

”Mister... Momon...” Was the only thing he was able to say, and everything was gone, he was dead.

Lukrut had already been dead quite a while now, his body twitching and convulsing everytime the woman stabbed it. However when the Wise King had taken down the door, Momon came storming into the building.

”Mister Momon!” Nphirea who had been cowering from watching his friends die, now took the chance to run for the door, ducking out and taking shelter behind Nabe and the Wise King of the Forest.

Clementine turned her weapon towards the Dark Hero, but as she was doing so, his long cleaver like weapon tore downward through her right shoulder and down to her left hip.

Blood splattered in all directions as the newly bisected corpse crumbled to the floor like a broken toy.

His eyes rested on the men which lay about on the ground. They were clearly dead, their bodies were getting cold. For Dyne, there was no true return for him. He stared at the zombified corpse, to his comrades he was going to use in order to make a greater name for himself.

There were only two left and they weren't even here.

Anger that had once filled Peter was now boiling over inside of Momonga. He had lost a very valuable set of tools and information. These people, he could bring them back, but was it worth it?

Lowering his weapons, he turned to leave the Pharmacist's residence, moving slowly with his eyes on the ground. As he stepped outside, his eyes glided on over to Nphirea as he shealthed his weapons on his back.

”The threat has been eliminated...”

Just as he was about to walk back over to the giant hamster, Nphirea's grandmother arrived.

”Nphirea!” She shouted the moment she saw the blood and the broken door. She rushed over to her grandson before looking into the house. It appeared the door had been destroyed and there were bodies inside. Just who died and why?

Checking over her grandson for any damages.

”I'm.. I'm not hurt, Grandma.”

In a way this was a relief, at the same time it was a curse.

She looked over towards the body of Khajiit that was laid out on the ground with a gaping hole through his front and back. Her eyes moved to the bloodied tail of the giant hamster. As she went over to the door to peer inside, she covered her mouth and took a few steps back.

A woman bisected in two, still holding onto her blood covered stiletto blade.

The three adventurers were dead, one of them was even zombified and missing its head.

She closed her eyes and went back over to her grandson, holding onto him as they both stood together.

Momon let out a quiet sigh. The only reason why he had even known to come back was because of the Shadow Demon activating something after it perished to the Hero level woman he had killed right then and there.

It was like it beaconed for him to come, to save the adventurers. ”But who could have...” He looked off in the direction of the North. He was sure Jack had sent the Shadow Demon to protect the party. However it seems they were still under prepared.
