《Another Death》Chapter 39 - Invasion (part 2)
Advertisement
Lothar's body became cold, ice started forming all over his body, while a scorpion tail made of ice formed behind him.
"I'll kill you!"
"Tough words for a small scorpion" said Ivan.
"But still, i can't underestimate him, i must fight seriously" Ivan thought, and he shot an arrow, but Lothar deflected it with his tail, then he shot an icicle from the tip of his tail, which Ivan managed to dodge.
Then Lothar raised his hands in the air, and hundreds of small icicles formed in the air.
"Freeze Avalanche" all of the icicles shot towards Ivan, but he swiftly dodged all of them, then lothar shot another big icicle from his tail, while Ivan took his bow and spun it around his hand, which created a shield of wind in front of him, which blocked the icicle and shattered it, but then Lothar appeared in front of ivan, his right hand was engulfed in a ice spike, and he slashed Ivan's hand, before returning to his original position to avoid Ivan's fist.
"You managed to land a hit on me, good job" Ivan teased him.
"You will see"
"Now then, i could return the favor" Ivan said and shot two arrows, which landed next to Lothar from both sides.
"Wind slice" the arrows combined into a wind blade which cut through Lothar's legs.
"Wait a minute, something doesn't feel right" thought Ivan, then he noticed his hand was feeling heavier and its movements were much slower.
"Poisonous Ice, my poison has entered your bloodstream"
"Poison huh, dirty trick"
Ivan continued to shoot arrows which Lothar continued to dodge, then Lothar tried to stab Ivan with his poison filled tail, but Ivan managed to block the attack in time, then he raised all of the arrows which were on the ground and threw them at Lothar, which he managed to block most of them but some stil hit, leaving small bloody marks on his cheeks and arms.

"Freeze saber" a sword of ice appeared in Lothar's hand, and he went to slash Ivan, who blocked the sword strike with his bow, then he shot three arrows and guided them through the air with his hand, Lothar managed to strike one down with his sword but the other two stabbed him in the back, Lothar pulled them out and with a flash managed to strike Ivan with his elbow in the stomach, which made Ivan hit the wall and cough up blood, then he guided the two arrows through the air, but they were going slower due to the poison spreading through his body further.
"It's over!" screamed Lothar as he jumped to impale Ivan with his ice sword.
Meanwhile, Andrej dodged the stone spears that the man was throwing at him relentlessly.
"This man's magic is on a higher level then Anya's, that's for sure" Andrej deducted.
"Just dodging? Even i can do that" the man taunted.
"I'm getting really irritated by his remarks" Andrej thought to himself, then he used a west style technique to slash down all of the flying spears in three rapid motions.
"Dark slash" a slash of darkness appeared from Andrej's sword which left a small wound on the man's chest.
"For a wimp you are not half bad, you deserve to know my name, Anatoli Tereshkov"
"My name is Andrej Antonov"
"Golem hand" Anatoli's hand became covered in stone and he punched Andrej in the face with it, knocking him into the wall.
"Holy shit this hurts" thought Andrej while blood dripped from his cheeks on the ground.
"Dark spiral" Andrej shot a spiraling sword at Anatoli's hand, but it didn't leave a scratch. Then Anatoli covered his other hand with stone and released a series of punches which Andrej barely managed to block with his sword. Andrej entered full concentration and swung his sword which managed to knock Anatoli back and leave a wound on his chest, then Andrej jumped and kicked Anatoli in the face, which knocked him on the ground, then Anatoli slammed his hand on the ground as Andrej landed, which created an earthquake that slowed Andrej's movements, but Andrej managed to jump in the air.

"Dark spiral" Andrej then threw another spiraling sword, which Anatoli blocked with his hand, leaving a small cut, then Anatoli raised two walls from the ground to try and squash Andrej between them, but he managed to escape in time, then Andrej went for an attack to try and cut Anatoli down in the air, but Anatoli just grabbed him by the head and slammed him into the wall of a nearby house.
"It's over wimp!!" Anatoli screamed.
"Volcanic burn" Katarina's opponent attacked her with a wave of flames that she extinguished with her water.
"You should learn the rules of nature before fighting someone" Katarina mocked him.
"Call me by my name, Svetislav Svajchinski"
"Fireball barrage" Svetislav released a barrage of fireballs from his hands at Katarina.
"Full concentration" said Katarina and she formed a large mass of water between her hands which she used to extinguish the fireballs, then she created multiple water spears and launched them at Svetislav who dodged them all, then he grabbed Katarina's hand with his, then he started increasing the temperature of his hand exponentially, but Katarina used her other hand to slash his arm with her sword, he backed down, but burn marks were still visible on Katarina's arm.
Svetislav then shot another fireball at Katarina, but she extinguished it with ease and pinned him down on the ground with her leg.
"In the end the smarter one wins" Katarina boasted.
"And that is me" Svetislav said as he disappeared, then he reappeaed behind Katarina and grabbed her by her neck.
"H-how?" Katarina asked.
"Simple, i generated enough heat to make you hallucinate" he answered, ready to crush her throat.
"Double wind slice" the woman attacked Anya with two wind slashes but she blocked them with a earth wall.
"Hmph, just basic level magic" Anya said mockingly and covered her right arm with stones.
"I suppose i should introduce myself, Magdalena Vishi"
"Why should i tell you my name?" rudely said Anya.
"Okay then"
Anya started shooting small stone daggers from her arm, but Magdalena blew them all away, then she jumped to Anya and kicked her in the stomach which send Anya flying backwards but she landed and dodged the second kick, then with her other hand she created a small stone dagger which she stabbed into Magdalena's arm. Magdalena jumped into the air and created wind slashes from her feet, which Anya dodged before she jumped up and went to punch Magdalena in the face, but as Anya's fist inched closer to her face, Magdalena smirked, and a green circle of light appeared on her cheek, then it spread to Anya's hand and Anya could feel her magic getting weaker.
"You've fallen for my trap" boasted Magdalena "Now, die!"

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.

Malt the Manslayer
This story does not follow a hero. Malt doesn’t slay dragons with a holy sword nor is he granted immense magical power when he transfers. Unlike his three classmates, he was brought into the new world not as a mythical hero, but with stats comparable if not worse than the average townsfolk. Assaulted by feelings of inadequacy and weakness, he leaves the comfortable castle life that the royalty offered him and decides to help his new country in the only way he thinks he can. By joining the war on the southern border. Not a war against mythical beasts or powerful demons, but against other humans. He thought that he’d finish a single deployment then come back to the castle, proud enough to stand beside his friends again. Little did he know that he’d become one of the most feared fighters on the battlefield, killing so many that he’d earn the moniker, “Malt the Manslayer.”

A Castle in a Teacup
One might say that to anger forces beyond the ken of fragile breakable mortals is a bad idea, others might say that meddling in dark forces with little chance of gain is also a bad idea, they would both be right by on all counts but they forget to mention also how incredibly stupid combining both of those things are. Stupid people don’t last so long on the mystic side of things, normal folks who wander over to the other side have a tendency to do one of two things, either A. figure out that the best thing to do is keep their head down and not draw attention from any entity that refers to humanity as “you mortals” , or B. something horrifying happens to them. As you may have guessed I fell into the second category, mostly because I thought there was a third option. See I though there must be an option C, an option where I got to end up not as some shitty back ally wizard cowering at the chance of discovery, praying that one of my wards or spells wouldn’t be noticed by something that goes bump in the night. No I would be the one who rose above all that. I would never have to be afraid. Well I made a good attempt at it that’s for damn sure, but unfortunately for me it turns out there is not an option C. At least not for me…
