《Slayer of Kings》Chapter 10 - On The Brink of Death Once Again
Advertisement
The girl looked like she wanted to say something, but before she could her body gave up on her.
Was she angry at him for killing her? Was she thankful that he put her out of her misery? Did she forgive the boy thinking it was not his mistake but the figures?.
Then, before the boy even had any time to react to what happened a slash came right to his neck from the man when the boy's head fell to the ground it had a confused and shocked expression on his face.
Both died with many questions on their mind however those questions will never be answered to them.
After the girl died, the man dropped her dead body to the ground, then he faced the two other people that were left, Han and Leo.
Han felt a chill run down his spine he didn't want to die not like this he had his family to take care of his wife his daughter who will look after them once he is dead? The only income they have is him if he were to die then how will they survive? How will his little daughter live a happy life? He wanted to scream he wanted to run, but he was trapped, he saw how brutally those two had died; he didn't want to die for his family, even if it meant he had to humiliate himself and beg for mercy he could not die.
Han fell to his knees and pleaded with all his might "Please I beg you don't kill me, I still have my family to take care of my little daughter she is only 8 years old I nee-" His words were stopped mid-sentence by a sword that pierced the back of his head and went out from his mouth he died begging for his life for the sake of his family.

The man then looked at Leo, who had no idea what to do he had no power to defend himself with he had no power to run away Leo felt disdain to himself, he hated it so much but there was nothing he could do at this moment.
The man did not attack Leo as he did with the other he kept staring at Leo then after about 15 seconds he spoke, "Do you remember me?" was all the man said to Leo but this shocked him.
It was not the words the man said that shocked him the most, but it was the voice that belonged to the man. That voice belonged to someone he knew.
'Maybe a coincidence?'
'But then why would he ask if I remember him?'
The man took off his plain mask to reveal a young and a bright face, seeing that face confirmed Leo's doubts, the person standing in front of him was none other than...
Cao...
"But, how?" was all that Leo could ask.
Cao smiled in response "That last battle we had was great, it was short and I died in the end, but it made me excited, it made me want more..."
"Leo you have no idea about the powers that control this world and you will never know about them because this is the end for you."
"After I kill you, I will take your 'Tenebris Sword' and combine it with my 'Caetus Sword' after that I will have the 'Infinite Sword' with that Leo do you have any idea about the things I can accomplish? I will finally be able to get revenge on my father for what he did to me and my mother," Cao laughed with confidence as he knew he had finally won.

"I failed to kill you last time with my own hands, but this time I won't fail in the last world I hate to admit, but you were stronger than me, however in this world, you are nothing but a mere mortal."
"I don't get it how did we both come here? And if we came to this world how is that you are stronger than me? We both died at the same time." Leo said he tried to think of all the ways that this could have happened, but he had no answer.
"Leo, there is no need for you to know anything as it'll be useless once you die, but before you die, let me have some fun," Said Cao with a sinister smile on his face.
Cao suddenly attacked with his right-hand Leo saw nothing but a flash his eyes were that of a normal mortal, he was incapable of seeing the movements of an enemy like Cao.
Leo tried to activate his sword, but he failed once again as the sword did nothing to help him in his current situation.
Cao held Leo's hand, he then bent Leo's fingers all at once Leo was powerless against Cao he tried to break free but the difference in strength between them was too great.
Leo, however, did not scream he held it all inside, he could not think about anything as the pain of having all his fingers broken at the same time was too much for him to bear.
Cao did not stop there, he then twisted both of Leo's hands until they were dislocated from his shoulder Leo could not move his hands or his fingers anymore the pain he felt made him feel like he would lose his consciousness at any moment now.
While Leo was in unimaginable pain and was trying to hold it all in Cao was laughing like a maniac, "Tell me, Leo, how does it feel? Does it feel the same way as your arms being cut off from the old world?"
"This brings back memories," Said Cao as he stomped Leo on his chest, which broke his rib cage and his organs inside were damaged which caused internal bleeding and large amounts of blood, spilled out from Leo's body.

Toothpick
“Hello! My humble audience! I, the Bard of the North, am going to tell you a tale. Nothing new, nothing old. A story of a hero, some may say, others a poor boy who was hated by the world.” The storyteller paused as he waited, right timing was everything when telling a story. Pacing… Too slow and the audience became bored then left without tossing even the smallest of coins. If he spoke too fast and rushed the story. It would leave the audience confused and having no reason to be impressed. So like any good storyteller, the Bard has to do a balancing act of sorts. Not too slow, not too fast. Just perfectly in the middle. “In a shattered country in the south, a novice princeling has the ambition to mend a torn tapestry that is his birthplace. Struggling to fend off those who would usurp the throne in an unending civil war spanning centuries. A mercenary that left only death in his wake, unable to stave off the monotony and peace of life. He looks back at the path laden with bodies, wondering if it was all worth it. Wandering souls summoned by a madman, travel away from a wasteland in a foreign land, the first alone, the others as companions. A deity, ancient in her years, waiting to be freed from a duty she no longer enjoys. For all these people and their stories, none are the hero of this tale. No, the hero is not grand, not wise, not ready.. he was punished for nothing of his doing, who was an outcast that was unloved by many, including his father.” This was always the big reveal novices use to jump off into their story. He did not start here, instead, like any good fishermen, he set the bait and waited until the fish bit before pulling. As he saw the audience's eyes focus, he then started the backstory. The harness, that stopped the listeners from having metaphorical whiplash. The foreshadowing. “But that is not where the story starts. No, not even the hero's birth. Where the story begins, is the boredom of the deity, a deity many know of. She who hunts for the impossible, the guide for those who have lost the path, the Huntress of Mallon--” A small pause, a short breath. “--All old names for a single powerful being that has roamed the grounds of this continent longer than any line of kings or queens, lords or ladies. A being of worship for many an individual…” One last breath. And he began singing the first verse.
