Project 7 the First: The Hero's Great Come Back

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

In the city, Justin was fighting with a hairy monster. He didn't know what it really was.

The monster kept summoning little minions. Justin kept attacking them. He was getting tired of the same thing. He summoned a black scythe and charged towards the monster.

Suddenly, the monster disturbingly opened a giant eye. He shot a beam of laser and it blated Justin away.

"Damn," said Justin.

Then, Lance finally came.

"Took you long enough," said Justin crankily.

"Sorry, I had to deal with some stuff," said Lance.

"Who's your new pet?" Justin asked.

"Oh, it's Averugius," he replied.

"A-averugius?" he asked, feeling so surprised. "H-how did he-"

"Long story. I'll explain later," Lance said.

Lance glided across the battle field, heading for the monster. The monster continued blasting lasers. Lance, on the other hand, was shooting ice beams. An explosion happened afterward.

While Lance was taking care of the Shōhisha, Justin and Averugius took care of the rest. They were clearing the little minions.

Lance was having a good time. His reflexes were astounding. He fought like a professional. The Shōhisha was impressed of his capabilities.

"My, I'm really impressed with your reflexes, boy," said the Shōhisha.

"What now? Complimenting a foe during a fight is very unpleasant, you know?" said Lance.

"You must be the new frost mage of Pagos, am I right?"

"That's right."

"It's been a long time since a new frost mage came to town," the Shōhisha said, "The last frost mage was-"

"I've heard," Lance interupted. "You don't need to be all once-upon-a-time. State your business you, piece of crap. Why are you in the city?"

"Of course. Can't you see? I'm devouring life from human being," replied the Shōhisha.

Lance narrowed his eyes, looking at the beast with suspicion.

"I know you're doing this for someone," said Lance as he sensed it in its face.

"Preposterous!" said the Shōhisha as it laughed. "Very foolish to think of it that way."

"Who are you?" Pagos demanded, "I've never seen you before."

"Oh, silly me. Excuse my impoliteness, your highness," the Shōhisha said. "I am Beltram, the Shōhisha of the eye of destruction."

"Enough with the introductions," he said as he spun his staff. "You disgust me."

"How rude," it said, "but let's see what your mouth has to say after this."

Beltram started shooting needles from his body. Lance spun his staff in front of him and made it as a shield. Then, he jumped and shot a beam of snow. The beast was covered with snow and laughed.

"What are gonna do? Freeze me to death?" He laughed.

"Maybe I will!" Lance shouted as he shot a huge ice beam.

The monster dodged it quickly.

"What's wrong?" asked Lance. "Scared of my ice powers?"

"Fool! I know what your freezing powers are capable of," said the monster.
