45 Blood Hand (2/2)
”My Goodness, what are they guarding for then?” He asked.
”So that nobody messes with the Thorn clan's property, watch how there are only guards in the stores with the Thron clan symbol on them.” Replied Liann
Liann led the group to a decent looking inn with the symbol of a sword surrounded by thorns, this symbol guaranteed the Thorn clan's protection.
At the inn they asked for a large room, although they were two women and one man, in the forest they had all slept together, no one would now be shy about sleeping in separate beds.
...
”I'm being serious about it, that woman was really powerful! Her voice almost made me pee in my pants!” Shouted the guard who had attended Rainer's group earlier.
”Of course Jeff,but why would someone so powerful come to this place far away from all civilization?” Asked a drunk fellow.
”I'm telling you...”
Jeff was interrupted by a calloused, heavy hand that lay on his shoulder.
”Can you tell me more about it? ”A deep voice reached his ears, although the man spoke quietly, Jeff thought he heard him shout!
When Jeff turned to check the man's identity, he was surprised!
He was the number one bodyguard of the City Lord, and Patriarch of the Thorn clan, Blood Hand!
If his name wasn't enough, he looked like someone who had fought in numerous life or death situations!The scars that covered his body were what he called, his witnesses to the people he had murdered!
In his right eye he wore a patch due to a magical beast which devoured half of his face, he only survived because he managed to breakthrough shortly after the fight, this man was a fighting maniac, if he found a strong target, he would want to fight him or her!
Jeff apologized in his mind to the lady he met at the entrance, but he thought it was her fault for having made him piss his pants.
...
When Rainer and his group left the room to purchase supplies, a fight had started in the street!
Apparently, a group of thugs had surrounded a man with a patch on his right eye and half of his face disfigured, but he did not even flinch before the three attackers.
”They are done, this is the ending of those who do not know how to judge the strength of their opponents in any of these places.” Said Liann while she ignored the fight, the result was already decided for her.
...
Like Liann said, those three guys didn't know where they were, because immediately after they attacked the man, one after the other, they fell to the ground while the man with the patch had not moved yet!
”Amazing!” Shouted Rainer after he witnessed the fight.
”Hump! It is only speed! His hand moved at such a speed that you were not able to see it, your highness! That man only abused of the weak!” Said Xarcas as he looked at the patch man with disdain.
Rainer didn't think it was just speed, he noticed something else!
Yes, he noticed the spatial energy in that man's attack!
”It must be a delusion, the spatial element is supposed to be unknown to almost everyone... ” He thought to himself as he followed Liann and Alisha.
