Espex The Demon Mage. (1)

Chapter 24: Haya

A small village was wrecked with destruction, house doors open, windows smashed and fires spreading rapidly from roof to roof. A group of white knights clashed and ran thought the small village smashing down doors and shouting. All the knights were looking for the same thing, Haya godstep

"I found him!" A knight shouted and everyone who heard charged towards the voice.

Standing in the middle of a small cobble path stood Haya. Tall and wrapped from head to toe with bandages but his hands, feet and eyes. His dead white eyes looked at all the knights staring at him through their white visor helmets.

"Gentlemen please, must we do this? I am on a schedule." His voice high pitched with the same accent as Espex.

"Kill him!"

Haya just shook his head and with a pop light engulfed him and he was gone. The knights all looked around for him. They numbered in the twenties. All with swords and shields engraved with runes. A burst of light hit the knights from the side, as some swiped blindly others protected their eyes best they could. The blinded knights could only hear the sound of pain as metal was being crushed. Screams came from the knights closest to the blast of light.

"Knights did you really think you could beat me? I am Haya godstep. Nothing in this world can touch me." His voice was coming from behind the knights. Everyone turned around with sore eyes to see him barely standing gloating. "I am light. Tell me good knights. Have any of you clasped onto light? The answer. No you haven't because it is impossible." Once his sentence finished light once more swallowed him and he reappeared in the middle of the group. He grabbed one knight from behind with his left hand before forcing his other through the steel and out of the knight's body. "This is what happens when punched at the speed of light." His dead eyes seemed more inhumane than usual. "You are all going to die."

With a slash one knight tried to kill Haya while his hand was still in his teammate. The slash connected but not with Haya. His already dead knight was now cut as well as impaled.

"Do you see how futile this is?

"It does not matter if it is futile or not. King Coext demands your head." This time it was a woman's voice.

"Oh a women? Why don't you show yourself lass?"

Out of the group of knights a person stepped forth. The helmet they wore had a badger engraved on the forehead.

"You're off the twelve."

"Indeed mage. Men from this point on I alone will battle this mage." Her voice bold and proud. The knights all nodded and spread out allowing room for the knight. "I am Pipy; I will be your executioner for today."

Haya laughed. "Nice to meet you fair lady." He bowed his head a little. "I aint one for going easy prepare yourself."

Pipy smirked as they looked at Haya as he disappeared. To her left he reappeared and smashed his fist into her chest. With a boom a wave of pure white energy shot forth and flung Haya back.

"Fool. This special engraved armour was made for you. No light magic will work on me."

On the ground a stunned Haya looked at his arms and chest. The white energy had destroyed all his bandages. His finely muscled body was exposed. He forced himself up of the ground whilst always looking at Pipy.

"You girl will be the most fun I have had in years, my blood is boiling." Excitement in his voice, Haya cheered with all his might and raised his hands in the air. "Today is a good day!"

Pipy just looked at him with confusion through her visor. "Are you mad? You can't use your light magic. You are done!"

"Fool! Do you think I only use light magic." He pointed his exposed arms towards Pipy. "La Foudre Javelot" A beam of pure blue electricity burst forth and straight at a diving Pipy. She managed to get away in time but the men behind her now a crater of blood and parts. "I also use lightning." The remains of his bandages hid his smile.

Anger in Pipy she stood up of the ground. "Men, Charge at him! He doesn't have his light magic anymore! We can hit him now."

All the remaining knights cheered and charged at Haya,

"Come knights, Let us dance."
