THE COMBATANT||KTH

CHAPTER 05

"This is the end." he yelled once again as he saw life going out of jungkook's body.

"You think?" a feminine voice rang in his ears. Before he turned back, she knocked his head with her strong boot making him loosen his grip on jungkook's neck and falling to the floor. The dagger resting on her belt was in her hand now.

With a small smirk, she twirled it on her fingers.

"Actually yes. This is the end. But for you." with that the dagger was pushed deep down into his chest, blood from the slit squirting out onto her face. She saw a few men coming in her way. Before she got ready to send them to hell, she heard Jimin yelling.

"I'm going to take care of these things." he winked and jumped onto the men. Naaila sloppily made her way to jungkook who was now panting on the floor.

" prince jeon." she cupped his cheeks as tears threatened to fall out of her eyes. He was badly wounded. Almost every part of his body was injured. It was either cut or burnt. He was taking deep breaths to compensate for the loss of oxygen earlier. It cost him a lot of energy to open his mouth but the strong man he is, he managed to speak out.

"Princess naaila." his voice was now barely a whisper. He tried to raise his hand but a sharp pain shot through the limb reminding that there was a metal rooted in his muscle.

Don't do that jeon, I am here." she examined the depth of the dagger.

"Hold onto me prince jeon." her voice quivered as she held the dagger firmly taking a deep breath. Jungkook placed his left hand on her forearm.

She held the metal firmly and pulled it out in one go with all of her force.

"AAAAH" jungkook screamed as tears fled out of his eyes. The blood flow out of the slit increased.

" i'm almost done.please wait." she tore a part of the sleeve of her shirt. She placed the cloth on his wound and tied it firmly in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

Another man of dwade lunged toward her and held her hair from the back pulling her away from jungkook.

"Let go!" naaila screamed as she tried to unsheath her sword. Now, she could feel a pair of hands grabbing her by the throat. She used her hands to loosen the grip with her hands but there was no use. Jungkook used his left hand to grab the dagger which was earlier stabbed into him. He pierced the dagger into the man's neck, killing him on spot. Naaila regained her breath and jungkook fell onto his knees once again holding his wounded arm.

'That was close."she spoke as her hands massaged her neck trying to ease the pain.

"Careful, they either use rocks to hit your head or grab your neck." jungkook stood up with the help of his sword coughing.

"Use me as backup. I will cover you." she walked into the field followed by jungkook. Little did she know that her brother had an eye on her all this while.

"Watch out brother!" she ran towards hoseok when she saw a man trying to pelt a rock at him. She used her shield to protect him, saving him from danger. Hoseok smiled and returned back to his job.

The peaceful night was now filled with grunts, screams and cries.

The brown land was soaked with blood.

Warm and cozy houses now turned into cold ashes.

Every warrior, everyone in the field was fighting a different man, some of them more than one. But all they had in mind was to not lose. Because once they do, there is no peaceful morning, No hope for the future and no life.

Their plan was to keep the men away from entering the castle and kill them before they entered the village.

Jimin didn't know how many men he killed, but he could see their bodies piling up. He slashed three heads in one go and proudly smirked seeing his achievement. But that didn't last long. A rock came flying in his direction and hit his forearm making him groan in pain. He turned back to see a short guy, shorter than him. Smirking as he gathered up a few more rocks.

" you ugly short man!" he yelled in frustration and threw his axe onto him. The man fell onto the ground spitting out blood. Jimin collected his weapons and wiped it clean on the dead body.

"Ahh, it feels so good to call someone short." he hummed in satisfaction and moved towards another group trying to sneak into the castle.

"Ahoy, how is your wife doing?" he called out at the group. They glanced at each other in confusion. He raised his sword at naaila. She took his signal and shot arrows into the group, they fell onto the ground one after the other.

Now that the castle is safe, they moved forward in their plan.

Shoot before they step in.

They moved towards the outskirts, away from the fort after making sure that no one was able to enter inside. The incoming of men decreased. Naaila mentally smiled at herself that her plan worked out. Dwade won't be assuming that erewhon's army will be included in buranda's army. So, the amount of men he sent to occupy buranda were now easily defeated.

"Just a little more and we're done." hoseok grunted as he lifted a body up and threw it on the ground. Jimin nodded and he helped up a soldier to his feet.

Jungkook continued to kill and slash the bodies with his left hand in spite of having the injury.

"NO!!" naaila screamed from a distance. All the three men jerked their heads in her direction.

It was dwade. He finally showed up.

He was tall and large with a huge body. He had a black cloak hanging down from his shoulders. His skin was pale and he was weaponized unlike his people. He had a long scar on his left cheek which upturned when he smiled. He had a bald head whose back was engraved with tattoos of snakes, roses and thorns.

"Naaila." hoseok's breath hitched at the scene.

Dwade fisted her hair and tilted her head back with one hand while the other one held naaila's hands together on her back. He stepped on her legs and pressed down her shin with his foot. Naaila was completely trapped.

Just when they thought they were getting over with the war,they saw a huge group of men in similar outfits coming towards them from the forest.

The warriors' pupils dilated at the scene.

Princess was trapped.

Jeon is injured.

Incoming of opponents.

They're back to square one again but this time naaila was with dwade.
