It's dark... it hurts... it breaks all the insides.Sharp push. His throat was torn, but a beam of light fell into his eyes. I could finally see.All the same clouds, everything around turned into ashes, even the mountains disappeared. Crap. The last thing I remember was how Excalibur fell on Katya and me.I lay on the ashes. I wanted to rest with my right hand in order to get up, but ... it was not there. The arm was torn off to the shoulder. Yes, and I could not stand up. There is not enough flesh on the legs, there are holes through and through in the body. I could hardly breathe. Each breath of air is like swallowing a thousand needles. Blood flooded his eyes, everything became bright scarlet.- You survived ... I'm glad ...Hearing a familiar voice, I could barely turn my head. What I saw... shocked me. I didn't believe...- Katia?..To my left was Catherine. Her body was made of flames, and her hair became lightning. Everything changed, except for the face, where there was no lo
God jumped up, scattering boulders from the mountain. But there was only surprise in his eyes. After all, Ranm is no longer in the scorched territory from Excalibur. She stayed away.- Can't be! Ranm touched the breastplate where there was a small crack from the impact. - It was just luck…There were tremors, and in the distance, at great speed, someone was approaching. A shock wave emanated from his body, and everything around him was burned in a scarlet flame.- Decided to compete with the lord of lightning?!Ranm was furious. No one will ever surpass him. Only he is the only one worthy to bear the title of the strongest in this world! He was born for this.Having bathed the body with raging lightning, and taking out a golden sword, God covered it with azure flashes. It was like a monster had taken over the sword.Raising the weapon, Ranm waved it sharply, unleashing a huge electromagnetic wave that incinerated half the mountain and moved on. To Alester."With an attack like that, y
“Get up…” Alester said in a resonant voice.- What…? Ranm asked in a trembling voice.Alester pointed at the black sky with his finger.“Excalibur… bring it down on me…”"Totally mad," Ranm soared into the sky. “Even with your strength, you won’t survive this attack!” And don't tell me what to do!!!Ranm was going to use Excalibur anyway. But not in the battle with Alester. After all, God wanted to kill him personally, with his own hands. But… the situation is hopeless. As much as Ranm would not like, but Alester's strength surpasses him at times.The sky starts to sparkle. Lightning appeared and then disappeared.Ranm can only cast five Excaliburs. He is one of the strongest Gods of Wisdom, who has a huge supply of God's energy. Given that he used two, one of which was destroyed, and that he spent a lot of energy fighting Alester, he only had...Two tips of giant swords began to appear in the sky. Lightning lit up the entire sky, as if it were a clear day.The Artifact of the First G
- He woke up!Loud cackle. A bright beam of light hit my eyes, and I squinted, opening my eyelids. At first, dark silhouettes ran in the eyes. The picture became more and more clear. Until I saw Aran and Eve with Vanya. They jumped on my bed, sobbing and screaming like crazy.- Hey!!!I did not understand their op, but I clearly understood that I was in the infirmary. There are many wounded around, doctors tried to save everyone, everyone was covered in blood. The last seconds with Katya froze in my eyes, the war with the Gods, Ranm ... and something that awakened in me.Friends unhooked from me when they saw my pale face.“Katya…” Aran sat down next to Eve and Vanya with a sullen face. - She died?..That's right...they didn't see her. I became the last person to see her last seconds of life. This made my heart ache. I didn't want to talk or see anyone. But they must know what happened to her..."She's dead," I croaked. “Saving my life…and then…then…”The image of a pale creature in a
Gray tobacco smoke enveloped the room in wide curls, plunging the already dark room into even greater darkness. The old walls, which had seen a lot in their time, were decorated with spots of something unknown, once thrown into them, there were no other decorations, like paintings and other things, in this room. And the place itself left much to be desired. A leaky roof, a floor shabby by thousands of pairs of feet and a creaking door completed the image of this dull, but at the same time no less popular institution. In such taverns, lost to cultured people, one could find anyone. Mercenaries, vagabonds, and bandits preferred to rest here - not the most trustworthy contingent of the city of Rigva. However, the authorities preferred to turn a blind eye to this disgusting old ulcer on the body of the city, since monsters, a gift from past times, spinning around, frightened the mayors more than the rabble gathered in institutions like this tavern. Such degenerate or adventurous people
With a satisfied smile, remembering the mayor's rounded eyes when he laid out all three carcasses in front of him, he will never be able to forget. Yes - it was true that not everyone was willing to look at these creatures of the past without a shudder or hiccups, even though the suscrosses weren't the creepiest creations in existence. The mayor then was very accommodating, gladly paying for all three trophies, if only they were carried away, and even so that the mercenary himself would clean up after them. Which he did with considerable pleasure, tossing a decent bag of coins in his palm, and throwing the carcasses over his shoulder. Why did all the other people on the way already shied away from him, thus giving him no small pleasure. So what?! His life was hard and dangerous, so he sometimes allowed himself such childish antics, Taking another sip of the bitter drink from the huge mug, he closed his eyes. I wanted to sleep pretty much already, but there was no point in sittin
As soon as these sonorous birds sang their "Ku-ka-re-ku", the mercenary opened his eyes and yawned loudly, scratching his stubble that had grown over the night. "M-yes" - he could not defeat this monster in any way. Having neatly and cleanly shaved, washed and rinsed his mouth, the guy began to dress in the clothes laid out on the eve. Trousers, undershirt - this, of course. Under the main jacket, he always put a shirt on, this often saved his body from chafing, and life from wounds, when the claws of monsters got stuck in its folds, the fabric for it was not chosen by chance, and although it cost Claude fabulous money, it was incredibly durable and soft . It was not easy to find a good thing in their time, and even at a reasonable price, and if you turned up such a thing, then consider yourself lucky. Do not snooze. Here the mercenary did not yawn. Do not skimp on the really worthwhile things. Next came the leather vest. in the summer it was a little hot in it, but it protected the
- Here's what you asked for. Ten gold. - the man said in a lily voice, looking benevolently at the mercenary. Mercenaries were not very favored among ordinary people, but for such a jackpot since the beginning of the day, the merchant was ready to fall in love with at least the devil, even a mercenary. The prices were fabulous, but Claude did not argue with the merchant, laying out ten gold coins near the man’s hand, he took his purchases. He preferred not to give or take money into or out of his hands, so as not to bring misfortune upon himself, especially today, when he was to meet with the babbler. Alone, he had not yet had to go to this creature, and the only time he participated in the hunt for this monster was a long time ago, even at the time when he was learning the wisdom of a fighter against evil spirits. Next on his list was an alchemist's or herbalist's shop, depending on how the owner of such a place preferred to call himself. Claude especially liked these shops, th
