Chapter 2

"Did you know a demon lord is at least as powerful as millions of regular demons," said Ashish as they were having dinner. The prodigies had made their own table. "A million, really?" asked Chriss, clearly awestruck. "Well not millions, but a lot of them," replied Ashish. "I think training will be more interesting from tomorrow," said Diana, the discus user. "I hope so," mumbled Vishor, who was obviously by far the strongest of them all. The next day they had a different instructor, who seemed more experienced. He informed them that they would be divided in two teams and they have to take over the opponent's base while defending their own. The instructor announced, "Team 1 is Vishor, Albert, Ashish and Diana. Team 2 is Chriss, Brett, Ebizo and Pristine. Now move it." Both the teams had got a medium sized base to defend. "Let Chriss and Ebizo go for attack, Pristine and I will defend the base," concluded Brett. "No, Vishor will surely come for attack, my katana is the best bet to rival his dual swords, plus your team work with Chriss is great." "He's got a point, I'll help him defend," added Pristine.

"Listen up team, Diana and I will go for attack, I'm entrusting the defense to both of you," concluded Vishor on the other side.

Brett and Chriss moved with absolute silence, moving cautiously just in case they were met with any surprise attacks. "Do you think we can do it," asked Chriss? "If we trust each other, we definitely can," replied Brett. They nodded at each other and continued moving. Just then, at from the corner of their eyes, they saw something move in the woods. They looked at each other and understood the message. Both of them readied their fighting positions and walked towards the noise. They kept searching but they didn't find anything. "Maybe it was just a leaf." "Yeah, but it seemed more than that." "I know." They went back where they started, but still on their guards.

They continued treading for a minute or so when they spotted something fiery to the far right. They treaded carefully and saw that Vishor and Diana were facing uncountable demons. "This isn't a trap, help us," shouted Diana, who was looking as if she might collapse any moment. They didn't have time to think, they immediately went into battle. Chriss started shooting at everyone while Brett started stabbing and cutting the demons with his haladie. Vishor was looking tired as well. "How long have they kept this up," Brett wondered as he continued to vanquish the demons. After what seemed like forever, all of their energy had started wearing out and they couldn't keep up for much longer. Just when they were on the verge of collapsing, a light beamed far away, seeing which, all the demons panicked and vanished in a puff. "What was that," they all thought. And that was the last thought they had before they all fell unconscious.
