Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 36

Alex's Perspective

As Alex and Wendy were silently making their way downstairs, there were 2 people with their backs behind them, making it the perfect opportunity to grab them from behind and knock them out.

Putting them in a chokehold and knocking them out, they quickly tie them up and gag them. Alex saw a staircase down to a basement.

Quietly, Alex said to Wendy.

"Not what we plan, but I'm going to go down; you do the rest for this floor."

Nodding yes, they split up. Wendy moves to clear the rest of the first floor, and Alex goes down to the basement.

The stairs were creaking despite Alex's best attempt not to make too much noise.

When Alex was down, he saw a decent amount of weapons and armor stored in racks downstairs. Going further into the basement, Alex was really shocked when he discovered there were injured people tied up.

"Hey, are you all right?"

The people who noticed Alex was trying to speak to him, but due to the gag they had, they weren't able to speak; they just gargled some noise desperately trying to tell him something.

As Alex tried to approach them to take the gag out, he felt that somebody was behind him. At the very last second, he blocked a sword strike from someone attacking him.

So that was what they were telling him. Alex thought to himself as he desperately tried to get the upper hand.

They exchange several sword swings, with Alex pushed back several times, causing boxes and barrels to fall over. Then the kidnapper shouts out loud that there are intruders in the building.

Nyx perspective

Hearing the noise, I wonder what is happening downstairs; either way, I'm kicking open the door.

Kicking the door open, and to my surprise, the young master, the Eudo guy was talking to, was somebody I recognized.

It was that noble douchebag who was berating Kinwall in his shop, Yulis Palning.

Seeing that douchebag made me surprised for the minuscules of moments, giving Eudo time to draw his sword from its sheath and swing at me with a quick draw.

I arched my back so I could get out of the way of his quick draw. Then I counter by swinging my sword at him. However, to my surprise, he blocks my sword with his metal arm guard and kicks me in the stomach, knocking me away.

He's good; I was caught off guard, expecting him to be a pushover like the others, but he is surprisingly more skilled than the others. I smirk, thinking he would be a challenge; however, I also click my tongue when he tells his master to run.

Yulis began running like a scared coward, and I tried to stop him but was stopped by Eude, who got in the way.

I'm going to have to do something drastic to end this fast if I want to catch him.

Swinging my sword at him, we exchange swings where I dodge and deflect his swings and thrusts while he does the same.

I jumped on the desk to dodge one thrust of his sword; the room made it cramp to move around, which made it hard to end this fight quickly.

Swinging his sword again, it was a feint to draw me in, but I didn't fall for it, so I jumped down from the desk to reposition myself behind the desk so I could get some room.

Suddenly a bright light was coming from the window that had a view of the backyard, which I'm guessing Lucia was stopping that noble douchebag from escaping by casting a firewall. Either way, I still got to catch him.
