Chapter 35: Chapter 35

The knight, resplendent in his gleaming armor, strides towards us with a determined gait. Each step he takes echoes through the air as the sound of metal clanking against the hard, concrete floor reverberates around us. His golden hair, cascading down his shoulders, catches the light of the moon, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. With a fluid motion, he reaches over his shoulder, his hand wrapping around the hilt of his sword, which is sheathed on his back.

His movements are fluid and calculated as he prepares to unsheathe his weapon and unleash its deadly potential. The knight's presence is commanding and imposing, making it clear that he is a force to be reckoned with.

"What in the world is happening here?" he shouts, his eyes scanning the gruesome scene with a mixture of disbelief and fury. The hooded and robed figures are sprawled out on the ground, their bodies contorted in death. The sight is made all the more gruesome by the blood that has pooled around them, staining the floor a deep red.

The damage in the surrounding area is just as shocking, with buildings that have been reduced to rubble and debris littering the ground as far as the eye can see. He can't understand how something like this could have occurred, and he demands answers, his voice filled with a sense of righteous anger and a desire for justice.

Before I have the chance to speak, the sound of clapping suddenly fills the air, signaling the approach of the robed leader. The leader's long, flowing robes billow behind him as he walks towards us, his head held high and a soft chuckle emanating from his lips. The closer he gets, the more apparent it becomes that he has a warm and welcoming smile on his face. 

And with a gesture of open arms, he extends both of his hands towards us in a friendly and inviting greeting. He speaks in a tone of voice that is both friendly and inviting, and his words seem to hold a special emphasis. "So you finally made it, Richard," he said, pronouncing his name with a special emphasis, as if he had been eagerly awaiting his arrival for quite some time.

With a fluid motion, Richard unsheathes his sword from its scabbard on his back. The polished steel of the blade glinting in the light, reflecting off the sharp edges as he holds it steadily in front of him, pointed towards the mysterious figure before him. His piercing blue eyes, filled with a mix of intrigue and caution, bore into the stranger as he steps forward, his voice commanding as he speaks.

"Who are you and why do you know my name?" The knight's grip on the hilt of his sword is tight, ready for any sudden movements from the robed man. The robed man stands motionless, his face hidden by the hood of his robe, as if pondering how to respond to the knight's questioning.

The robed man, dressed in a flowing, hooded robe, continues to clap as he approaches the knight. His hands strike together in a steady rhythm, the sound echoing all around us. He comes closer, until he is standing just a few feet away from the armored figure. And then, with a confident grin spreading across his face, the robed man speaks.

"I've known you," he says, his voice deep and rich, "and we've known you, for quite some time now. After all, you are one of the primary reasons for our plans to be going so smoothly." The robed man's grin deepens, as if he takes pleasure in the knowledge that he holds. He continues, "We have been watching you, studying you, and learning from you. Your actions and deeds have not gone unnoticed, and they have played a significant role in shaping our plans and as for that i can't help, but to thank you."

The robed man's words hang in the air, heavy with meaning. The knight, for his part, stands stoically, taking in the robed man's words with a solemn expression. It is clear that the knight has much to consider, and much to ponder, in the wake of the robed man's revelation.

The knight, with a look of deep contemplation etched upon his face, slowly lowers his sword as he gazes upon the robed figure before him. The knight's armor, adorned with intricate engravings and polished to a gleaming shine, seem to glow in the dim light of the area. The robed man, on the other hand, is shrouded in shadows, his face obscured by the hood of his cloak. 

The knight's eyes are fixed upon the robed man, studying his every move as he tries to comprehend the words that are about to be spoken. "I'm not entirely sure I understand what you mean," the knight says in a measured tone, his voice filled with a hint of confusion and uncertainty.

The robed figure smiles, but it is a smile that is filled with malice and malevolence. The smile seem to be a cruel twist of his lips, revealing a set of yellowed teeth. The robed man's eyes, hidden deep within the shadows of his hood, seem to gleam with a sinister intent. "It's quite simple, my dear knight," the robed man begins, his words dripping with sarcasm and contempt. 

"Because of your actions, we were able to capture a significant number of innocent children for our nefarious purposes." The robed man's smile widens as he speaks, clearly relishing the thought of the children being used for whatever evil plans he and his associates have in store for them.

The knight's expression grows darker as he listens to the robed man's words. He can't believe what he is hearing. How could someone be so callous and cruel as to use innocent children for their own twisted ends? The knight's hand tightens on the hilt of his sword, his knuckles turning white with the force of his grip. He feels a surge of anger and disgust welling up inside of him, and he knows that he would need to do whatever it takes to stop this evil man and his cohorts from carrying out their twisted plans.

With swift and unwavering purpose, the warrior charges towards the hooded figure. The light glinting off his longsword as it is raised high above his head, the warrior's muscles tens as he picks up speed. In a sudden burst of movement, he seems to vanish in a brilliant flash, only to reappear in an instant before the robed man. A fierce battle cry escapes his lips as he brings his sword down in a mighty arc, slicing through the air with incredible force. 

The robed man, however, is not easily defeated. With a nimble sidestep, he narrowly avoids the sword's deadly descent, the blade instead striking the ground with a deafening force, sending dirt and debris flying in all directions.

The group of robed figures, who have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike, quickly seize their chance. Without hesitation, they spring into action, with about twenty of them rushing towards me, and an equal number heading towards my companion, Carl. The rest of the figures hang back, watching and evaluating the situation, as they seek the ideal moment to join the fray.

With a fierce determination, I brandish my sword, ready to take on the opponents that dared to stand before me. My disdain for them is palpable as I think to myself, "Fools. Do they honestly believe they can defeat us?" I shout in bravado, as I expertly swung my sword with precision and skill, cutting down the enemies that dare to challenge me. My movements are swift and fluid, executing a vertical strike that effortlessly slices through the ranks of my opponents, leaving them in two pieces on the battlefield. 

My focus is not limited to the enemies in front of me, as I swiftly turn my attention to those who had the audacity to attack from behind. With a deadly motion, I swung my sword in a sweeping arc, effortlessly cutting down the would-be assassins before they have a chance to strike.

I take a moment to assess the battle, and my gaze falls upon Carl. Our eyes lock, and I urgently call out to him. "Carl," I shout, my voice filled with a sense of urgency and determination. "We must end this fight as quickly as possible. The leader of these misguided foes is currently distracted by the gold-clad individual over there. Let's take advantage of this opportunity." Carl, with his spear at the ready and a fierce look of determination on his face, gives me a quick nod in acknowledgement before charging towards the next group of enemies. 

He moves with a fluid grace, each strike of his spear deliver with precision and deadly accuracy. The opposition falls before him like wheat before a scythe, and it is clear that Carl is a master of his craft. He fights with a deadly efficiency, taking down his foes with ease.

As we unleash our surprise assault, the robed figures are caught completely unawares. Their expressions of shock and confusion are evident on their faces as they scramble to respond to the unexpected attack. Some of them make a desperate attempt to flee, their robes flapping wildly behind them as they push past one another in their haste to escape. Nevertheless, their efforts are in vain, as we have anticipated their movements and are able to effortlessly capture them.

Others, however, chose to stand their ground and fight back as a group. They brandish their weapons, shouting and cursing as they charg towards us. But their efforts are futile, as Carl and I fought with precision and skill, cutting down our foes one by one. The sound of clashing steel and the cries of the dying fills the air as we engage in battle.

Finally, as the last of our enemies falls, we stand victorious, surveying the scene of the brutal and bloody massacre that we have orchestrated. The ground is littered with the bodies of the defeated, their robes stained red with the blood of their wounds. The smell of death and the metallic tang of blood hang thick in the air. We have emerged victorious, our enemies lying scattered and defeated at our feet, a testament to the effectiveness of our strategy and the merciless efficiency of our execution.

The knight, his armor gleaming in the bright moonlight, emerges from one of the buildings with a thunderous crash. The force of his impact sends chunks of concrete flying in all directions, and a thick cloud of dust rise up to obscure the scene. As the dust begins to settle, the perpetrator of this destruction emerges from the shattered remains of the building. The perpetrator's eyes scan the area, taking in the sight of his fallen comrades lying motionless on the ground.

Despite the carnage before him, the perpetrator's expression remained stoic and unreadable. He seems to show no remorse for his dead allies, instead focusing his attention solely on the knight, who is now struggling to rise from the ground, his armor dented and cracked from the impact. The perpetrator's eyes glint with a cold, calculating intelligence as he watches the knight's every move.

As Carl and I advance, our weapons at the ready, we find ourselves standing face to face with the robed man. We are both tense, with my sword held firmly in my grip and Carl's spear pointed directly at the robed man. I speak confidently and menacingly, "You are all that remain. What now? Are you going to flee like last time?" But to my surprise, the robed man simply smiles serenely in my direction, seemingly unperturbed by his dire predicament. This unexpected reaction catches us off guard and makes us question what his next move will be.

"As I had previously stated, I have no intention of running away and instead, I fully intend to end your lives by my own hands," he speaks with a tone that indicates a complete lack of fear in regards to our presence. His gaze shifts from the bundle of his fallen comrades lying motionless on the ground to us, as if he is deep in thought, contemplating his next move. 

Despite the dire circumstances, he seems to be entirely unphased by the events that have just occurred. His words are spoken with a sense of determination and conviction, leaving no room for doubt that he is fully committed to carrying out his threat. The expression on his face is one of complete and utter resolve, as if nothing we can say or do will change his mind. 

With a fierce determination etched on his face, the man steps forward, his eyes locked onto mine. His voice is unwavering as he speaks, his words carrying a conviction that sends a chill down my spine. "Do not for one moment believe that victory is yours," he declares, his voice echoing through the empty space around us. "This battle has only just begun." As he finishes speaking, he snaps his fingers, the sharp sound cutting through the silence. 

For a moment, nothing happens and I stand there, confused, wondering what he has planned. But then, after a brief pause of around ten seconds, I notice something strange happening. The lifeless bodies of the fallen that are scattered around us begin to stir, as if animated by an unseen force. The man has somehow brought the dead back to life, and the battle is far from over.
