Beyond the Virge

Chapter 17: Just My Job

"Darling?" a woman says walking out from one of the doors.

"Father? What is this?" a boy says.

As I look to my right a woman and a boy walked into the room, hearing about the commotion around the kingdom. The muzzle of my gun is at the king's forehead as the sight of blood fills the room as corpses from around the palace are splattered like a deck of dropped cards.

"Let my father go demon!"

"Or what?" My finger lays on the trigger, "You'll kill me right?"

The prince looks at me unsure of what to do. His right hand was grasping tight onto his sword and of course, as all things come, there's going to be a duel. He takes his sword out and says, "Fine then demon, I challenge you to a duel. Swords on swords like real men."

"Calling a demon a man? You fool," I created a sword out of string. I can tell what he was thinking. He's trying to stall me to think that the Irelian forces will stop me too.

We both look at each other and I can see right through him. My demon instincts show that he's terrified, scared, but angry as well. I can tell already that this will be fun.

It was silent as we circled around each other waiting for who would attack first. I felt tired of waiting and struck first. I thrust forward with such power thinking that he'll die from one of my attacks, but he was able to block it. Good for him. He then charges at me with great force and not to my expectations, he was able to push me back a little breaking my "sword."

"Demon, your sword is broken and what will you fight with?"

"My fists like what you will do," I clench my fists as his sword shatters into pieces.

"No, Excalibur..." he says, shaking his sword into bits and pieces. As he attacked, I used some of the string to connect to his sword.

I had my fists up and he had his. He was truly mad. He started to grit his teeth and grip his hands tighter. He again charged at me with one hard punch, but I was able to block it. He goes for a kick and I was able to dodge it. I was in a defensive state to tired him out, but he knew what I was doing. As he charged at me again, he pulled a dagger from his boot, but I was able to catch it and stab him through with the same dagger connected with the string.

"Calvin!" the mother screams as he falls to the ground. As I disconnect the string to the dagger, still having the string connected to his heart.

"He really tried," I chuckled. "He tried to kill me, thinking I wouldn't expect anything like this..."

"Please, leave my family alone," the mother says.

"I'll leave them alone, as you join them in heaven," I grip my hand, causing the prince to combust with blood as his arms, legs, and hands are ripped out of his body in a pool of blood. As his head stays in mid-air, I throw his dagger, hitting his head, sticking to the wall.

Both of his parents cry in pain as I stand in front of them. I wanted this to last longer, but their plea of death annoyed me so of course, I did what I had to do. The throne splatters with blood and pieces of human flesh and blood. I knew that the Irelian soldiers were on their way so I wanted to set a trap. As I looked around the room and checked Haywire, I had an idea. I laid a long string making a checkered pattern and waited for the Irelian soldiers.

As they charged in I was sitting on the throne and seeing Elderon leading the attack. It was all going to plan.

"Demon! Where is the royal family of Kiminoa?"

I threw the heads of the queen and king and pointed at the head of the prince. As this happens, I look and see all of the knights and soldiers around me.

"Whatever you're planning, it's not going to work."

"Is it?" I curl up my arm into a fist the string is pulled up and the string starts pulling up the soldiers. As this happens, some of the soldiers are cut in half including Elderon. It didn't last as long as I thought, but this was truly a sight to see.

Rii comes back and looks at the sight of the room, "Looks like you did some work too?"

"And more work will be done as well."
