The General Nori, one of the stronger enemies I've faced— He definitely should've did a lot more damage to than this but I got lucky.
Luck seems to be on my side in the right tis so far, but I can't expect it every single ti.
"There will be a price to pay for my death boy, one that I don't think you're capable of handling.." Nori manages to say as he keeps himself from falling over.
Artemis wipes the blood off of his blade before sheathing it. "I'll handle it regardless." Artemis replies with a serious tone in his voice.
Thump. Clang. What's left of his armor clangs against the ground along with his body. He didn't have anything else to say, or at least he couldn't speak any longer.
The Great General Nori was dead, none of them knew what feats he actually accomplished as one of the generals, not yet at least.
What matters right now is that Artemis won the fight against him, but what he said was sothing that stuck with him.
A price, that's what he said. I wonder if there was any followers in the crowd watching the fight or if soone was up on the rooftops. That would be the only logical thing I could imagine with this whole fight.
Most of the crowd probably ran the mont he swang the hamr down into the ground so I doubt many people were around.
That would leave my party and any of the followers that were present during the battle itself. Footsteps can be heard running towards him until suddenly he feels arms wrap around him. "I'm so glad you're okay." Alia says with a bit of relief in her voice.
I forgot that she called out my na during that fight and I didn't respond at the ti so she was probably worried. I probably could've used so help in that fight against Nori, but sohow I managed to win.
Artemis hugs her back before speaking. "Everything is alright. It was one of the guys from the estate." Artemis replies before letting go of her.
Alia should know that they are definitely around quite a bit since we saw them back in Avania. I don't think it'll be sothing that shocking or surprising for her to believe.
"I just can't believe there are so many of them to begin with." Alia says while crossing her arms.
Dealing with this, the upcoming war, and whatever else that's yet to co will be quite the ti. I'm not planning on participating in the war necessarily since my goal is to handle these bastards but it might not be avoidable.
I'm just shocked that Shimada ca along still, even with the information about the pending war. I would've thought that he would stay back with his kingdom until it was dealt with.
"So a dead general lays here, what next?" Shimada chis in with a bit of curiosity in his voice and a smile across his face.
This guy is still so hard to understand, is he serious or is he ssing around. I'll never be able to tell with how he acts about every situation so far.
The last ti he was genuinely serious was when he told he needed help getting his sister back from these guys. After that he was basically back to himself, or was it after he told about the general.
Cynthia steps forward and looks at the body. "Sa people, Hmm. So we are hunting them down?" Cynthia questions after looking at the dead general.
"Yes, I just didn't want to outright say that." Artemis answers while scratching his head.
Hunting them down like animals, yes that's exactly what I'm doing. I didn't really know what to expect from Alia's reaction here since I'm trying not to co off as so ruthless killer.
Every one of these deaths do weigh on greatly so it's not like it's easy to keep doing this. I just have to keep telling myself this is for the greater good of the lands.
"If this prevents chaos from erupting throughout the world then I'm all for it." Alia chis in with a more serious expression on her face.
These are the people who killed both of our families and who left us in a bloodbath of an estate. I should've expected that she'd be more towards it than against it.
"Well, with everyone on the sa page, we need more information." Artemis says while glancing around.
Just like before I need to find soone who can give sothing to work with or I need to find so sort of clue towards the next target.
Within an instant a woman wearing dark black robes and so sort of steel plate mask that covers her face appears before Artemis. "I didn't expect you to kill him, he's a lot stronger than I was." The Woman says.
By the way she talks I could say that this could be the keeper from before. "I thought you were going to hide for the ti being?" Artemis questions.
She took a mont to look up and down at Artemis, realizing the differences already since they fought against each other. "Hiding isn't really fun, plus I wanted to see what happened with the fight." She answers with a more laid back deanor.
This woman is acting different from when I last spoke with her but I guess it's expected after I saved her life. She is more magic based like Alia so I could only wonder what she's doing here.
She's surrounded by a pretty strong group of people or at least that's what I'm assuming, since I haven't seen the strength of everyone here yet.
"Fights over so is there anything else?" Artemis asks with a bit more of a serious tone.
Her current robes didn't seem to have the insignia on them like the previous ones so what exactly is she playing at here?
