Chapter 6 - Scavengers (1/2)

Suddenly, many arrows flew toward Evan and Zak, which should have killed them. But Zak was no ordinary man. Such a pathetic attack would not kill him.

Whoosh.

The moment the arrows were very close, Zak swung his flaming sword. He threw aside all the arrows, slicing them in two in the process.

<Commander Zak is incredibly strong, indeed. His skills are almost flawless.> To himself, Evan appreciated his commander's abilities, and prepared for battle.

Immediately after Zak's sweep, six men came out from behind the trees, clearly unfriendly at all.

”Well, Evan, show me that I wasn't wrong in my choice. Those two are on you, I'll take the others.”

In fact, Zak was well aware that Evan had already killed quite a few people, because he was covered in blood from head to toe. He wanted to see Evan fight with his own eyes, and he got an unforgettable experience.

When he heard Zak's words, the young man instantly attacked the two men in silver armor.

Each of them was armed with a short one-handed sword. The weapon was very sharp and, most importantly, light. Evan felt just fine in his new armor.

He got to his first victim in one fell swoop. Evan swung his sword sharply, and brought the blow right down on the man in front of him. But his attack was easily blocked.

”HAHA, boy, you're being too cocky, that's what you're going to pay for now.”

Evan didn't appreciate his opponent's flattering comments and only frowned, without responding.

Their swords clashed and the other man was about to attack Evan from behind. However, his plan didn`t come true. Evan was not a valiant knight who fought by the rules and with honor.

He thought such people were either madmen or idiots. That's why seeing that his attack had no effect, Evan simply loosened his grip and punched his opponent right in the stomach with force.

Bam.

The man flew backwards and started coughing up blood. Evan's blow was hard enough that his fist left a dent in the silver armor.

He also sustained a minor wound. His knuckles began to bleed. After all, hitting the sturdy metal armor with his bare hands was not easy and rather painful.

”So, you`re the next.” Evan quickly turned around and swung his sharp sword right into the side of his second attacker.

The sword went through the silver armor like a red-hot knife through butter and left a deep wound on the man's body.

”AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” He squealed in pain, clutching at his wound to stop the flowing blood anyhow.

”Ugh. You`re wimps who can't stand the pain of even such a small wound. Just wimpy.” Evan slowly approached the man, gripped the sword tighter and decapitated his opponent with a single swing.

After massacring his first opponent, Evan headed toward the second, who was also writhing in pain and vomiting blood repeatedly.

”Please don't kill me...” The soldier begged for mercy. But when he lifted his head and looked at Evan, all he saw was his ruthless expression and incredibly cold gaze.

Swing.

After killing his second opponent, Evan swung his sword sharply, knocking all the clinging blood off him.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

As soon as Evan finished his battle, he heard clapping behind him. Turning around, he saw Zak and four burnt corpses beside him.

”That was a great fight, a sight I haven't seen for a very long time. And I probably won't see something so brutal and at the same time beautiful for a long time. I haven`t miscalculated about you.”

Zak was very pleased with Evan's performance. A wide smile shone on his face and a small light burned in his eyes.
