Chapter 19 - Outpost (2/2)

The shield formed cracks which he used as shrapnel when he burst it out towards them showering them with cuts as they fell back in pain.

He formed a small spike of energy on his fist which he swung under the guard of the one on the right gutting him.

At this point Theoric was very tired from using up all his energy as he took a knee to rest, the remaining two were back on their feet howling in anger.

Seeing him bent over breathing heavily gave them the confidence they needed to charge over ready to fight him to the death, determined to take him down with them if they had to.

Theoric seeing their blind rage rose to his feet, throwing the ax immediately taking out one as he caught the charge of the second using a judo styled throw, slamming him to the ground with his momentum knocking him out cold.

Kicking the weapon in the troll's hand away he sat down on top of him to catch his breath, he needed far more practice to be able to handle the energy power in battle without problems.

Luckily the drain on his stamina from energy constructs was much less than healing, otherwise, he might have not made it out unscathed.

Vott and the men finally made it inside with Vott angrily storming over shouting- ”What the hell were you thinking, I don't care how strong you are, you have to follow orders, you could have gotten yourself killed being that reckless.”

Theoric yawned- ”How was I suppose to know they rigged something like that, it was quite impressive if you ask me, no one would expect a pitfall like that on a hillside.”

Vott unhappy with his lack of care ordered- ”Don't do it again Theoric.”

Theoric being a well-trained soldier realized his mistake as he got up and took a military stance- ”I'm sorry sir, I just didn't like the idea of being made a healer sir!”

Vott lightened up seeing him respond positively- ”I understand, just don't be reckless, listen to orders and all will be fine.”

Theoric saluted- ”Sir, yes sir.”

Vott now feeling uncomfortable told him to stand down- ”You can stop that now, so looking around I see you took down quite a few by yourself, don't worry we caught those two that escaped earlier.”

Theoric scratching his face with his pointer sheepishly said- ”Well I can kill them, but I can't keep them here to die... yet.”

Vott nodded- ”Yeah about that, we all saw you fall, mind explaining what happened.” not exactly understanding what he saw.

Theoric smirked- ”Ah, did I forget to mention that I have another power.” he began to explain about his new power.

Vott just sighed- ”Bastards like you seem to always get the good stuff... wait a minute couldn't you have made a bridge for us with that power of yours... you crazy selfish bastard.” he cursed.

Theoric just embarrassingly chuckled while rubbing the back of his head.
