131 Party Crashers (1/2)

”Yes, your majesty”

Lord Clemo felt mixed feelings of fear and excitement in his heart and considering the guards were commoners like the villagers, they had a grin on their faces thinking about the upcoming event.

Standing up from his throne Don walked towards the woman and watched the little boy's motionless body.

”He will wake up today”

The woman and the villagers were stunned hearing Don and before the woman could react Don started to follow Lord Clemo.

”Come on lady, follow us”

One of the guards whispered to the woman as she nodded and walked with the guards.

Looking at Don and the woman leaving, the villagers also started to follow them. And surprisingly when they stepped outside of the castle, they didn't get drenched by the rain and when they looked up to see what's happening, they saw the raindrops flowing on an invisible shield around them like they were wrapped by an air bubble.

The sound of the thunderstorm reverberated through the place as Don was following Lord Clemo to Ryan's house. Lord Clemo and the guards were happy that they had been surrounded by the invisible shield around them, unlike Don who was fully drenched in rain.

”Your majesty, this is his home”

After a few minutes of walking, Lord Clemo pointed at a big house in a few yards away from them. Lord Clemo felt like he was a guide to a demon when he showed Don the house as Don saw two guards standing in front of the gates.

And, when they wiped away the water on their face and looked closely at Don, they quickly remembered what happened to the guards in Lord Massen's house. And without even asking, the two guards pushed open the gates to let Don in because they were not paid enough to get their bones broken.

Don had no time or mood to look at the house or gardens, he was walking towards the door when he heard a voice telling him to stop. Don could see a man wearing metal armor rushing towards him to stop.

”If anyone gets in my way, they'll die”

Looking at the man, Don raised his voice as he continued to walk.

”Mercenary”

Lord Clemo knew that it was not the armor of Agoria or any other kingdoms so that means one thing, the mercenary guild.

”Sto”

When the man got closer to Don, Lord Clemo suddenly saw something red splashed onto the invisible shield around him and something came rolled near his feet.

And when he looked up, he saw a headless body dancing around while Don was walking towards the house.

Don didn't stop after killing the man with his ghost sword. A scream of one the villagers behind Don attracted the rest of the mercenaries' notice as they started to take out their weapons and rushed at Don.

The group running towards him had five men while two women stood behind and started to cast a spell to attack Don. Targeting the two women, Don threw his black sword in their direction as the sword soared through the wind and cut their heads clean off before even the two of them could react. Don let go of controlling the sword as he got closer to the group of mercenaries. Seeing Don was walking at them without a weapon, Lord Clemo wanted to grab one of the guards' spears and threw it at Don

”Shit”

But Lord Clemo saw Don fist sticking out of one of the mercenaries' back.

The four mercenaries were startles when they saw Don was holding a still-beating heart of their fellow mercenary in his hand. The villagers were scared shitless and Lord Clemo felt a familiar feeling in his gut.

The merceries looked experienced as they quickly regained their senses and started to coordinate their attacks. However, Don was more experienced, he threw the beating heart at one of the mercenaries and when he was blocking the heart by instinct, Don landed a kick on another mercenary's chest as he was sent flying. And when he landed on the ground, Lord Clemo saw his metal armor had a feet shaped hole in it while the mercenary coughed up blood a couple of times before he drew his last breath.

The three remaining mercenaries had no time to look back at their comrade as they tried to attack Don at the same time. Don noticed that each of them has a different weapon, spear, sword, and an ax but they all had one thing in common, they were made of metal.

Don knew he could only control one of the weapons and he chose the ax. And while he was evading the spear's pointy end, he deflected the ax as the ax flew past Don and stabbed into the sword mercenary's chest.
