Beyond the Virge

Chapter 20: My Cause

I was surrounded from all sides with soldiers from Kingdoms all around Mongolian. Swords pointed at me, arrows pulled back aiming towards my direction, and spell casters preparing spells to cast upon me. Hunter and the others were prepared to fight as well.

"Rii, take the others to safety and meet me on the shores. Trarkoz, let's do what we do best."

"Clover don't do this, please!" Kiko says.

"I'm only doing this to get us out of this mess!" I hardened my grip on Haywire as I lowered my mask, covering my face.

As we started walking forward towards the group, soldiers all around us charged at us. Their screams of strength and power were shown among the soldiers that charged at us, but the feeling wasn't there. Within the seconds passing by, three or more soldiers are knocked or killed by the wrath of the demons in the field. Trarkoz was able to reach all the way to the ranged enemies and take them out. I of course got my fair share of kills on my part. It felt...good. The blood rushing through my veins, the adrenaline, the rush. I felt like a whole other being other than my past self.

Back home, I was quiet, bullied, and not one that was really nice to talk or hang around. Now here I have a chance to live in a world where the future of this entire country is in my hands. Now, those hands are covered in the blood, sweat, and tears of my enemies. The plan was to kill the demon king, but becoming him was totally a whole new experience I am now loving.

It didn't take long before the field was covered in corpses and the blood of thousands of lives. All that was left was the class. I could sense their fear and weaknesses. They were scared, terrified even. I could feel Axel's fear especially. I would feel his anger, jealousy. He held a glass tight into his hand.

"Traitor!" Axel says.

I laugh, "Traitor?" I walk closer to him. "I am the traitor!?" I grabbed his neck and lifted him up. "I wasn't the one that kicked another off the cliff. I wasn't the one on top of the class because of my richness, my good looks, my moves on women," I tightened my grip. "I wasn't the one that fed on those lower than me!" I threw him to the ground, as he coughed blood creating a crater.

"Clover..." Kiko says.

"Listen here, all of you." I stand, letting go of his neck. "If you want a fight. So be it."

I would hear Jack's and Hunter's screams from around me and I dodged their attacks. Ivy and Kiko even tried to attack me too. If it's war they want, then it's war they'll get.

Jack was to my left, Ivy to my right, Hunter behind me, and Katsumi was helping Axel. I didn't want to kill them. I knew many of them my entire high school life, but after what they have done. I couldn't forget. As my eyes closed I focused and took a breath. I would hear the swing from my right. As Ivy swung her Halberd near my direction I was able to counter her attacks, using Haywire string to coil her to me and push her out with my power. Kiko was next. As she cast a spell, she took a breath of fire. Unfortunately enough for her, it didn't affect me so a tap of the forehead knocking her out. It was too much for her already. Hunter and Jack rushed to me as well. Jack in front and Hunter from behind. I decided to use Haywire again. As I grabbed onto Hunter's spear, I was in control. I was able to turn it around and hit Jack on the check.

"Gah!" he screams in agony.

"Jack! You son of a-" as Hunter was about to hit me with his shield I kicked him down to the ground. The fight was over.

I look at the group and see the people I thought were strong. The people that looked down on me. Oh, how the tables have turned. Trarkoz stood next to me and we looked at each other for a bit and nodded at each other.

"Clover...why..." a voice says.

Looking back, Rebekka and Ms. Kazumi were limping. Trarkoz looked back with devilish eyes.

"Oh my, I thought I finished you two already."

Rebekka cracks her neck, "I'm only halfway done with this race."

I tap Trarkoz' shoulder, "Don't kill them, knock them out and we'll take them, prisoners."

In a flash, Trarkoz fought them again. This time, she had no weapon, only her bare fists. Her power is two times stronger than mine. Each hit Ms. Kazumi and Rebekka took what seemed like a blast of wind from a tornado. It didn't take long before the two were defeated.

In time, Rii came back to pick us up. Trarkoz carried Rebekka and Ms. Kazumi to Rii's back and I hopped on. In seconds, we flew away.
