Prism Swamp: Part 4

Chris POV

My names Chris, Chris Truce to be exact.

And right now, my blood was boiling.

I loved battle.

The sight of blood was beautiful to my eyes.

The sound of bones breaking and grueling screams was music to my ears.

The feeling of putting my life on the line was the only thing that brought me joy.

And this guy right here, Muji, he's probably the most fun guy I've ever met.

Once he gets pissed off he gives off this vibe that he wants to kill me, and there's nothing more fun that someone trying to kill you.

Even when I'm not fighting him, he still knows how to make things fun.

Right now being a prime example.

Muji, the princess, and I were about to get attacked by a group of adults. I couldn't wait to bash their heads in.

"Here they come!"

One rushed in and swung his sword at Muji, Muji just pushed him back and dug his dagger into his chest. Another one tried to attack Muji whilst he was holding off the other one, but before I could rush in the princess did.

She cut his arm off before quickly decapitating him, I didn't know she had it in her to kill.

Hot.

I felt someone trying to attack me from behind as I used my snow and blocked his vision.

I turned around with a laugh before bashing the man in the head, his skull was pushed in like clay.

That was three down and the fight had just started.

"I hope this doesn't end too fast."

I suddenly felt a hand grab me and slam me into the ground. I felt a sense of joy as pain ached throughout my body. I grabbed the arm and kicked him in the stomach, throwing him off of me.

I sent my snow around him, successfully slowing him down, before rushing in using my aura.

I swung my mace and hit his arm, hearing his arm break was satisfying. One came up from behind me and went to attack, but Muji speed blitzed him and ran his dagger into his back.

I swung my mace back and crushed the guys skull before throwing it at the guy who's arm I crushed earlier, hitting him in the back of the head.

I heard two metal weapons clash as I looked and seen the princess clashing with what seemed to be their leader.

I think he was the guy from earlier but I'm not good with faces of people who don't excite me.

"Why are you attacking us? I don't believe we've done anything to justify your ill-will."

The man pushed Adjest back and went for another attack, but she maneuvered her blade and blocked it accordingly.

"Does it matter?"

"No, it doesn't."

Muji appeared behind the man as he took his head off his shoulders, not a shred of remorse or empathy in his eyes.

I liked that.

"Why couldn't he be like that when he fought me?"

As the mans body dropped Muji looked around.

"There are three left, bring them back alive."

I clicked my tongue but agreed as we split up. I found my guy running for his life, he was really slow.

"Probably a support or something. He makes me look bad."

I smirked.

"It's fine as long as he's alive right?"

I threw my mace at the man's leg destroying his calf. The man let out a scream of pain as I laughed and landed on his back.

"You and I are going to have lots of fun."

Timeskip

I arrived back at the meetup spot with my target, one of his limbs destroyed and another missing.

I dropped him off in front of Muji, who was standing there with a hollow gaze.

"Adjest, go make sure no one else comes here."

Adjest nodded and walked away, the two of us standing there.

"Tell me what you all know. Your leader said he knew something that wasn't known about Lizard men, so I'm sure you all know as well."

The three looked at Muji, their faces going pale. I looked as well and felt a surge of electricity fly throughout my body, subconsciously reaching for my weapon.

"Whats up with this guy?!"

"W-Were not going to-

Muji threw his dagger at the man, causing him to scream a bit. His veins began to buldge and change into the color purple, more agonizing screeches leaving him.

"I've just inflicted him with a deadly poison. It's going to constantly but slowly eat away at his insides causing an excruciating amount of pain. This process won't end until you're dead, but it'll also take an entire day for that to happen."

The other two watched their friend as blood began to leak from his eyes and ears, next his nose and mouth. They watched as he screamed in pain and agony.

"So, are you going to answer? Or do you want to end up like that guy?"

"I-It's the Lizard men! They can roll in groups more than five!! T-They also have weird mutations amongst them like really big ones and really skinny ones!! That's all we seen!! I swear!!"

Muji threw his other dagger at the man, poison seeping into him as well. He didn't even hesitate.

"He lied, tell me what he was hiding."

The woman had tears in her eyes.

"T-There's this r-really big creature very deep within the swamp!! That's all I know!! I swear!!"

Muji hummed.

"Chris, finish off the other two."

Muji knocked out the woman and walked off with her, I laughed as I walked over to the two poisoned men.

"Well, sorry guys. That's just the way it is."
