Final Knight

A Change of Plan

The next morning...

"Green ?" Ask Slyver, as he woke up.
"Green ?" Ask Slyver again, as he wear his clothes and armor.
"Green ?!" Called Slyver worried.

Slyver grabbed his equipment and run downstairs while screaming looking for Green.

"Have you seen a person with black hood carrying a bow ?" Ask Slyver worried to the tavernkeeper.
"I'm sorry, but... He left on midnight." Said the tavernkeeper.

Then, Slyver ran outside, looking for Green. The sky immediately turned dark. And apparently... Green is outside, on his knees.

"Al'ritch !" Shout Slyver.
"Well, look who's come to play... Another soul... Haha ! Bring me !" Laughed Al'ritch.
"Slyver... Don't do it !" Green tried to prevent Slyver from attacking Al'ritch, but failed.

Slyver already stabbed Al'ritch, however... Al'ritch just hovering there.

"Your pathetic sword won't do nothing against me young fool !" Said Al'ritch, as he swing his sword towards Slyver.

Slyver saw this too late, and got wounded severely. Green immediately stand up and take a shot on Al'ritch, but the arrows did nothing but passed through Al'ritch's body.

"You can't hurt me living souls... None of your weapon can match the power of underworld !" Said Al'ritch as he swing his sword towards Green.

Luckly, Green dodged it but barely, only inches from his face. Green then took another shot, this time using enchanted arrow. But it did nothing, it only created a wound on Al'ritch that immediately healed.

"Your souls are mine !" Shout Al'ritch, as he attacked Green.

Slyver in the other hand tried to crawl to safety and hold his wound. Green dodged Al'ritch attacks up to the point where Green can't keep up.

"Humans are indeed fascinating... I'll let you play with my minions living souls..." Said Al'ritch, as the red eyes started popped out, revealing a creature, looked like a starving undead.

"Ghouls..." Said Slyver with pain.
"You can't... Kill them that easy... Green." Said Slyver.

Green heard Slyver's plea and started to heal Slyver's wound.

"There, come on !" Said Green as he picked up Slyver.
"Put me down !" Said Slyver.
"What for ? Can't you see we're outnumbered ?" Said Green.
"We... Are not going to fall that easy, I'm not going down to this." Said Slyver, as he took his sword from the ground.
"Slyver... We're gonna die !" Shout Green.
"Then so be it ! I'm not going to run away like a coward ! I had enough of this." Said Slyver, Green seemed shocked.
"Slyver... Please, listen to me..." Green plead on Slyver.
"Green, no... This is what we suppose to do. I didn't tell you the whole truth, our mission involves danger like this, and if you can't confront it. I'm afraid you'll die just a day after our mission start." Said Slyver, then... Green went silent.
"I see..." Said Green, as his hand started to glow.
"Then, I'm not afraid anymore." Green continued, as he reached for his arrow.
"Live or die, we'll fight." Said Slyver, as his hand started to glow too.
"Until the end." Green added.
"Well well, the REAL battle begins !" Shout Al'ritch, as he disappeared. What's left now is hordes of ghouls.
"Let's do this !" Said Slyver.
"Together !" Said Green.

Slyver charged towards the ghouls and bashed them with his shield, slashing them with his sword. Green in the other hand shot a bunch of arrows at them at an incredible fast speed. They both completely surrounded by ghouls, but it doesn't matter. The two heroes have risen.
Slyver hack and slashed his way while Green created an arrow rain that killed a lot of ghouls, but they kept coming.
