《A Knight's Promise》Chapter 2 Part 5: The lonely Berserker
Advertisement
With the team ready their resolve hardened and their thoughts clear Kent and Khorn kicked the door down. Immediately several silver hand soldiers charged at them Rex took the lead with both pistol and knife in hand he easily overpowered one of the soldiers stabbing the spearman in the chest, several slices to the body, and a shot to the head killing the warrior immediately.
Genji showed his prowess in close-quarter combat as he grabbed one of the soldier's blades before it struck him. Kicking him several times in the chest and then the neck followed by a powerful roundhouse kick sending the soldier flying into a stone column.
He ignited his plasma blades fighting both silver hand paladins at the same time Genji sliced off the hand of the first soldier followed by a reverse ax kick. The Promethean blader used the plasma blade gauntlets striking the other paladin several times in the arm destroying the pressure point.
Genji also struck the pressure point controlling the leg and stomach paralyzing the body finishing off the soldier with a powerful uppercut.
Marky moved in after Rex and Genji cleared the way as he shot several soldiers in the head killing them instantly. One of the soldiers jumped out of nowhere trying to impale Marky he dodged to his left pulled out his laser pistol shooting the soldier 2 in the body and 1 to the head before he used his cloaking field repositioning himself.
Clayton and Khorn moved in clearing the rest of the silver hand with their ax and chaingun as they cut down the soldiers they keep coming towards them.
Rex and the others told Kent and the others that he and the guys will take the pawns on while they took on the traitor and the king. Khorn smiled as he took off his helmet throwing it to the side to look at the enemy that forced innocent people to fight against their will.
King Nerro stood from his throne with the spear of draken claw on his left hand and the shield of the dragon heart on the other. King Nerro is the best spearman in all of Ren'veil as he stands at 5 foot and 7 inches tall, a full muscular build, pale skin, covered in scars.
He wore leather pants, dark manna steel plating, and the cape of the shadow drake though his equipment is enchanted by the enslaved mages he was no short of terrifying a perfect opponent for the Fell Fang Berserker captain.
The King welcomed them into his castle with open arms and yet Kent and his so-called warriors brought war into their world when he offered peace.
Kent told him that he did bring peace but when his visions showed him what had transpired after he left only meant that the knight lord was never meant to leave Ren'veil.
The captain felt his anger boiling to the point of no return aiming his ax at the king shouting the crimes he had committed asking once for him to surrender.
Nerro laughed at the captain as he boasted about his power the ego of the knights that made him spit at their so-called code of honor. He asked one of the silver hand to bring one of the priestesses to him and with a sadistic smile, he openly tore open the girl's chest and carved out her heart and ate it in front of them.

Kent covered the eyes of the two he too was furious to see the Nerro who was their friend turned into a monster.
Khorn let loose a mighty roar as he activated his blood rage to its full power his armor glowed bright red as he charged at the king with his twin plasma axes. The King smirked as he easily blocked the berserkers attack he easily pushed him aside the king thrust his spear several times at Khorn.
The Berserker easily shrugged off the strikes as his armor hardened becoming impregnable to damage but the spear of draken claw is known to destroy any form of defensive armor.
As the spear collided on his shoulder pouldron the armor shrieked as if the Xerroh-adamantine armor was pierced by a million bullets at once. Khorn realized his mistake making him more furious as he swung at the King several times taunting him consistently.
Khorn became furious as he slammed his axes down releasing a powerful shockwave of energy around him. The king used his shield negating the attack absorbing transferring the energy into the spear with a simple thrust the King fired an energy spear towards Khorn slicing off his left arm.
Khorn lost his balance as the feedback of the energy spear shattered his left leg bone and some of his ribs in the process.
Nerro rushed the berserker as he stabbed him multiple times in the neck and chest before kicking Khorn to the side sending him towards the wall breaking several ribs and his spine in the process.
He vomited out blood as his injuries were getting worse by the minute Khorn desperately tried to get his body to move but his body could no longer respond as he fell unconscious.
he smirked at the fallen captain barely breaking a sweat while fighting he aimed his spear at Kent with an arrogant smile on his face.
"Is that all your warriors can offer? Here I thought that they would be better."
"I believed you last time... I can't believe you are the leader of a force that would see Ren'veil's end...*heavy sigh* I guess its time I go all out..."Kent said as his body started to release steam.
"Kent we are with you!" Aisha said as she summoned her staff.
"Indeed it is time to set this straight." Arra added as she unleashed her wolf form.
"Thank you... It is time to settle this once and for all..."
His eyes turned bloody red the blades thrummed with anger as their wielder accessed the first gate of wisdom.
Rio summoned several blades from beneath Kent's feet he Jumped back as Aisha cast Dimensional fire on Rio. The swordsman sliced the fireballs as he dashed towards Aisha before he could stab her the knight lord got in between them stopping the mad swordsman in his tracks.
With the two swordsmen locked in their clash of blades, Aisha looked to her sister Yunno was holding her own against the king.
Yunno fired several spirit arrows at Nerro as it got blocked by his shield Yunno smiled as she raised her fingers upward as the arrows suddenly changed direction hitting Nerro on the arm.
Nerro was angry at the priestess shouting whore at the young priestess and charged at the priestess as she easily dodged his attack with phase walk.

The king was furious as the priestess seemed to be dancing around him toying with him as he threw his spear towards Yunno in anger. Though she dodges the attack it was a faint as Nerro was already charging towards the priestess hitting her in the arm.
"THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR BETRAYING ME YUNNO!!!" Nerro shouted as he was about to crush her into the wall.
Before Nerro succeeded in killing Yunno Aisha casted barrier on her sister protecting her from certain death that was not enough as Nerro's strength was comparable to a thousand fully built men.
The wall collision was massive Nerro laughed at her for rejecting him when he realized that Yunno was gone he looked again realizing the knight lord blocked his attack.
Just moments before Nerro crashed into the wall the knight lord managed to save Yunno from death by switching places with her.
Kent spat at the king as he kicked the shield off of him before Nerro could stab him in the heart Khorn came to his senses as he successfully sliced off the King's right arm.
Khorn was barely able to stand as his body was slowly breaking apart, his armor was none-existent his left arm was gone, and he is bleeding out faster than his regeneration can keep up.
The Berserker growled, his body being taken over slowly by the Blood Rage. The knight knew that if his mentor stayed in that state any longer that he would have to kill him. He thought back to how Berserkers use Blood Rage to increase their strength and pain tolerance sadly the effects of prolonged use are lose of his humanity and accelerated aging, and how Khorn had been using it since they came to Ren'veil.
He had to think fast because his time was running out for his mentor, Khorn stopped him from saving him when he tapped his shoulder.
"Master Khorn..."
"It's... OkAyyyy... LoRRD... I... CHoOose DIZ... I... FIIIgHttT... FOorr... HoOoPPeE!!!" Khorn said as he desperately tried to maintain his humanity.
"I understand... *Looked away* May Faith grace you in your final battle..." Kent said with a single tear going down from his eye.
The Berserker smiled at his apprentice, who once stood before him a broken boy, now side to side as they revel in glory atop the kingdom. The best-known knights aspiring for greatness among them, Khorn glared at the Nerro as he unleashed all of what remained of his Blood Rage and charged at him with all his might.
The King smirked at the wounded pup as he dodged to the left Khorn anticipated the dodge as he swung his ax hitting him in the chest.
The Berserker slammed him through several columns and ultimately nailing him into the wall. Khorn stomped onto his right arm, crushing it till it severed itself from his body.
Unbothered, he sliced off the head clean off the shoulders. Fulfilling his vengeance for the enslaved, he picked up the decapitated head, he threw it to the Silver hand.
Before he completely loses his humanity and sanity altogether, he sees his friends and comrades being overwhelmed by the numerous Silver hand soldiers.
for one last time he mustered what bit of strength he had left, The Berserker gripped his weapon tight and unleashed a powerful roar. Successfully, luring the enemy away from his family and to him.
His breath is slow and heavy as his body loses its warmth feeling Death gradual embrace raising his ax one more time, he fought to his last breath as blades and spears pierced his body while continuously killing the soldiers with no mercy nor remorse.
With each swing of his ax, he started to remembered the days of peace on Requiem, his family, his brother, and his lover, the very first time he met his lover along with the days when their Archon led them to a better tomorrow.
With each wound he took, a memory of a time with his lover appeared where a time he had truly lived with Laura and truly loved someone. With each swing of his ax, he remembered the days he had spent with his wife and their child upon their home.
As he fell to his knees he remembered the day when Requiem fell and his wife and child became victims to the arrogance of the 1st Legion. His feelings of anger of not being able to save his family, regret for killing the innocent enslaved soldiers, but his failure to save them that slowly took him.
He looked around him to see his family desperately trying to reach him whilst fighting the Silver hand. He released his ax as he fell to his knees, He took out a pendant and looked upon the picture of his wife and child upon it.
As he gazed upon the picture he remembered his family on the day Requiem Fell as his wife and child became victims of the arrogance of the 1st Legion. The anger and sadness he felt of losing his family blaming himself for his inability to save his family and the regret of the death of innocent enslaved soldiers.
Lifting his head, he sees not the throne room of Arcania but the beautiful grasslands of Requiem before the fall. And over the vast hill of grass and flowers, his eyes teared up as he saw a woman and child atop the hill.
Tears began to fall from his face when he saw his wife and child waiting for him with a warm smile and open arms.
With a heart-crushing smile, Khorn no longer contained his emotions as he ran to his wife and child. Tears pouring down his face as he embraces his family, apologizing for not being able to save them long ago.
Laura lifted his head, placing a soft kiss on his lips as they told him that they knew he wasn't at fault for the Fall of Requiem nor to what happened to them. As Faith appeared before the ancient venerate, she welcomed the lost to her realm and those who remained true to their duty.
After all, that's happened, it was now time for the lonely berserker to finally head home.
For only in death does duty end.
