Sword Conquest: The Fallen

Chapter 4: The Destructive Ones

With Zhaylen's attire changing from the strike of lightning into a cloak with a missing top half, his wild laughter began reaching across the skies. Upon hearing him, Hero would stand tall from the cliff he sat on and looked into the direction of where it came from. He'd jump off the cliff, sliding down along the front side, boosting himself from it while breaking it away and charging like a meteor into the destroyed city of which Zhaylen was in. The 8 servants of Zaroth looked up to see Hero landing down on his feet, arching himself up to face them all.

Hero: You guys don't look very friendly.

Zhaylen began to step forward but Samael would hold his arm out to block him off, not wanting him to fight just yet.

Samael: Well now if it isn't the world savior Hero. We've heard - or should I say seen so much about you.

Hero: Who are you?

Samael: Unable to identify us...how distasteful. My name is Samael. These are my colleagues.

Member Two: Kiru.

Member Three: Lok

Member Four: Granz.

Member Five: Remus.

Member Six: Bakuro.

Hero: You guys aren't human either I'm guessing.

Samael: A pretty solid guess there. You're right, we're not human. We're something much better and worse. We live and breathe to cause disorder in the environment of wherever we go. We are the perfect creations of Zaroth himself. We are Zaroth's Six Demons.

Hero: Six? Then who's the guy in the-

He'd instantly notice that the dark-toned man is Zhaylen.

Hero: Zhaylen!? What!? What did you guys do to him!?

Samael: I corrupted his tainted soul and made him into a soldier of destruction once more!

Hero: You bastard! What do you even want!?

Samael: To free our leader...Zaroth.

Hero: So that's what this is about.

Samael: Yes, but you see...to do that I'll need to find the exact location of where he is.

Hero: You think I'll let you re-awaken him and get away with it?

Samael: Of course not, Hero. That's why we intend to kill you first before doing so. Our master would have no trouble taking you down but we can't just let him sully his own hands dealing with the likes of you now, can we?

Hero: Fine, then which one of you bastards wants to fight first?

Samael: We don't plan on taking turns. It's so much easier to just kill you together!

Each of the members would charge for Hero while Zhaylen stayed back and watched. Kiru threw a punch but his fist was caught by Hero's arm, having him toss Kiru away who'd be caught by Bakuro. Hero, however, ran up towards Bakuro, jamming his fist into his jaw to knock him back along with Kiru held in his arms. Remus and Granz came together for a combination attack of punches and kicks which Hero easily fended off, blocking and pushing away every single strike that came to him. Granz was caught off guard as Hero vanished out of his sight and sent an unexpected kick to the back of his head that made Granz slide face first into the floor. Remus started to zip around Hero at an attempt to confuse him. As he appeared behind him, the back of Hero's fist came right into Remus' face, knocking him across the floor. Lok came down from the sky swiping his leg downward onto Hero, missing as the attack was evaded by a simple back step. He took a step to Lok and crashed his fist into his gut, twirling him through the sky. Samael's results were different. He'd clash fists back and forth with Hero with their punches and kicks colliding with each other's - creating quick shock waves in each strike but inevitably was caught off guard by the raised foot of Hero's into his jaw. The force knocked him into the air, but Samael would manage to come back down sliding on his feet back to his crew.
