Mike breathed out deeply, he didn't know how long it had been
'Well, that's not true The sun has gone down So I got that going for Which is nice'
His body was covered in cuts where frozen blood was about to leak out of, the 300 elite knights were attacking him in shifts and thanks to the relentless fucking barrier that was around them Mike had not managed to kill even one of them as they slowly wore him down over the hours, attacking him all the ti without leaving him anyti to rest, Mike had long since sheathed the knife, he knew he was unable to cut through the barrier that protected them so he simply focused on dodging as an overhead swing shot down upon him he dodged by sidestepping to the left before he suddenly twisted his body and dodged a sneak attack from behind, outside the formation stood the commander and watched Mike
"Commander?"
"Oh, sorry about that"
She sat on a rolled up bedroll and watched Mike fight for his life for a bit longer before she dragged her eyes off him, they had been at it for about five hours now and she had begun to respect Mike a whole lot, sure they were enemies and his perseverance had slowed them down a whole lot, but she still found the man more and more charming to look at the more he fought for his life
"I made up my mind"
"Are you sure this is a wise move commander?"
The commander gave a nod
"He's the kind of soldier we're looking for frankly he has better control over his body than and I have been trained since I was three years old"
"...Is it talent perhaps?"
"Might be... "
The commander stood up and began walking over towards the encirclent before she called out
"Halt!"
The soldiers that made up the encirclent paused their attacks and drew back giving Mike room to breath as she walked forwards
"You're persistence impress "
Mike breathed deeply as he used every mont to catch his breath, anwhile, the commander continued speaking
"Seeing your persistence I have decided to give you an offer Join us"
A cold glint flashed through Mike's eyes before he asked
"Just like that?"
The commander gave a smile
"Well, you'll be a slave for the first three years, if you survive you will officially join the ranks of my knights!"
A red light flashed through Mike's eyes as he spoke out
"No way I am not going back to being a slave, not when"
Mike suddenly paused before he turned and looked back completely ignoring the commander, the commander was perplexed by his sudden silence but suddenly she felt sothing, sothing familiar and walked around the encirclent to the other side and kneeled down on the grass, soon two riders crossed into the light of the encampnt, they had spurred their horses so much that they were clearly about to die from exhaustion and were frothing at the mouth before they stopped and dismounted, as they did their horses collapsed, they were two won both of them had vermilion red hair, one of them had short shoulder length hair and the other had long hair that reached her hip, both of them walked towards the center of the encampnt, the knights kneeled down when they saw them as, for the reason, they could feel a suppressive sensation when they looked at them, the sensation of mana. And it was in abundance.
The two won walked straight up to the encirclent where the commander was kneeling, the commander hurriedly spoke up
"Venerable ladies, forgive for my late introduction, I am Harly of the great house of Gelvin, commander of the 3rd elite knights, please allow to"
The commander stopped talking as she realized that the two venerable ladies completely ignored her and walked past her into the encirclent and kneeled down in front of Mike before the two of them spoke in unison
""Master""
Mike showed a slight smile as he spoke to his two servants who he had not seen in over three years
"Elina, Rebecca It's good that you both are here"
The two servants lowered their head for so ti before Elina looked up and asked Mike
"Master Forgive for asking but Who gave you those wounds?"
Mike chuckled before he spoke
"The knights around of course, they have been trying to kill for the last five hours Oh that's right until that one proposed that I could beco her slave if I wanted to live"
Elina trembled slightly, so did Rebecca, the sky above them suddenly turned violent as their mana inside the two servants began circling around, churning with violent intent. Then as the knights around them that heard what Mike said was saying their prayers Rebecca spoke
"Do you have any orders for us master?"
Mike thought for a mont before he pointed at the commander
"Let that one alive, as for the rest I want them disabled and lined up"
""Yes master""
Elina stood up, as she did she tapped the necklace she wore and then suddenly liquid flowed out of the necklace covering her body before it ford into sinister armor before she stamped the ground with one foot, a shockwave flowed out from where she had stomped the ground until it reached the edge of the camp and then the earth rose up forming a 15 ter tall wall around the camp, then Rebecca's shadow lengthened before it suddenly turned into tiny pieces and scattered all over the encampnt as it cut into the knights, the shadow went right through the barriers they were so proud of and outright maid so while it at least injured the rest, there were cries of despair all around Mike but he just stood with a calm smile on his face while his servants dragged the knights and lined them up in a row, all 299 of them, anwhile the commander was muttering to herself
"This is a bad dream Just a dream... They can't hurt "
Then Mike bright the knife to all 299 of knights stabbing them in their throats while ignoring their pleas for rcy and curses alike, then when he was done with the last person he muttered
"[Drink]"
As the knights dried up the usual headache ca he ignored it for a mont before it suddenly intensified, it literally felt like his head was splitting, he kneeled down on the ground before his vision swayed and he blacked out
When Mike opened his eyes again he saw the inside of a tent, he was tucked into a bedroll, he sat himself up and looked around inside the tent as he struggled to rember what he had been doing before he fell asleep, then he reached up to scratch his head but suddenly pulled his hand back as he felt sothing sharp poke it
"Ouch..!"
Mike looked around for the sharp object for a bit before he gave a shrug, then he saw that soone had laid out so clothes for him, he looked down and saw he was butt naked
'Well at least my butt doesn't hurt'
Mike put on the pants before he pulled the shirt over his head, but when he did he heard a ripping sound
"That doesn't sound good"
Mike paused and removed the shirt again before he examined it and saw that there were two tears that went perpendicular to each other around the middle of the shirt
"Don't tell "
Mike reached up and touched his forehead ever so carefully before he let out a groan and muttered
"Why the fuck do I have horns..?"
While they weren't big they were definitely there about seven centiters long each situated with about three centiters right and left of the middle of his forehead the horns pointed upwards and were very sharp
"Whelp Might as well roll with it"
Mike looked around for another shirt to wear but found nothing so he gave a shrug
'At least I am wearing pants'
Mike walked out of the tent and was t with the blinding sunlight of the midday sun, taking a few seconds to adjust to the light Mike looked around as his eyes regained the ability to see and found that he still was in the open plain and that the 15 ter tall rock wall was still around the basecamp, then he heard a voice call out to him
"Master!"
Mike looked over and saw Rebecca kneeling down, Mike gave a nod and asked
"How long have I slept?"
"About 12 hours"
"I see Did you keep that commander alive?"
"Yes master"
Rebecca looked up and saw Mike's new horns and gave a gaps before she lowered her head again and muttered
"So the visions were true"
Mike narrowed his eyes and asked
"What visions?"
Rebecca paused for a mont before she spoke
"We all had visions of you Master and in all of them, you had horns"
"I see That's not ominous at all"
