The Arcadia Chronicles III: Wood Elf Quest

Slashing Lights

Kiyan' POV

We still continued following that group of Elves running up these stairs. Miss Caith said A few of them are on the way. I drew my greatsword, dashing forward and one of the Dark Elves' threw a dagger at me! I easily parried it away then throwing one of my greatswords to his chest that he got blown back when it hit him!

I saw another one shoot an arrow at me that I roll forward to dodge it and facing the broadside of my weapon in front of me as I crouch for I know...

There are three sharp 'tings' as three arrows hit my sword.

Just then, black flames flew over me and headed for the Dark Elves but they evaded them Here's my chance! Thank you, Wilhelmina! I immediately dashed and grabbed the sword that I threw, slashing a couple of opponents as I pass by. One Dark Elf charged towards me with a weapon raised!

Third person's POV

With Kiyan also dashing towards the Dark Elf, he suddenly slid on the floor and knocked his opponent down.

Kiyan stood and continued towards the awaiting enemies.

As the knocked down Dark Elf raised his head, the last thing he saw is a blade of a scythe heading for his face before everything went black.

Kiyan leaped forward as he made a flying kick on a Dark Elf to push him back, he parried a swing from the next opponent then stabbing immediately on the abdomen. Janus passed by him swiftly and made a flying kick on one Dark Elf then, while still midair, kicked another one! Using him as a stepping stone, he leaped to another Dark Elf with his hands on fire.

As he expected, the Dark Elf swung its weapon at him but parrying it away on the broadside with his bare hands! The Dark Elf is shocked as well upon witnessing it N-No way... Janus immediately kicked him on the face while midair! The Dark Elf crashed on the wall and is terribly stunned.

Janus landed in half crouch, somewhat grinning evilly, then dashing towards the next enemy.

Dianne said dryly as they ran Is it just me or... Wilhelmina finished ...he's kind of...enjoying this.

A Dark She-Elf began sweating as she aimed for Janus but he's moving too swiftly to aim right W-What's with this human?! Before she knew it, Janus dug his flaming fist on her solar plexus that she grunted and slightly spit out blood! Janus suddenly vanished in front of her and reappearing abover her, with his boots aflame, he crashed a dropkick on her that she went unconscious!

Another Dark Elf fired another arrow at him but he immediately leaped to the wall, crouching there for a second then crashing a fist on his face! He teetered to the rail, wincing at Janus' attack; Kiyan immediately finished him by sending a forceful blunt strike that he fell off the railing then to the darkness of the bottom of the castle!

Caith said in impression as they ran Whoa! Lorden added What superb skills! I wish I could do that as well!

Meanwhile, Athena caught up to the others, swinging her scythe to remove the excess blood from the Dark Elves Janus left out cold.

Janus waved at them We cleared the way, guys! He said to Kiyan, who is beside him That was a great warm-up, I haven't been able to move like that ever since! I didn't even use my swords yet! Kiyan made a face as he thought We're in a serious situation yet you're calling this just a warm-up?

Meanwhile, on the floors below, things are getting serious.

Anastasia trembled in fear Wh-Wh-What is th-that?! It slowly approached, increasing Anastasia's fear that she's paralyzed on where she sat, her eyes nearly have no life in them. Sylvia shouted Hey, Anastasia, get out of there!! But she stayed there as if rooted on the spot, her eyes quivering and her breaths came in short and fast, her body is releasing cold sweat enough to fill a teacup.
