Onslaught: Dawn of chaos

Chapter 3: One Vs four

 The town of Brion has always been a peaceful domain since the beginning of time, since it was a town that was mostly inhabited by warriors, mages, adventurer's and so on, it makes it a peaceful place that is less targeted by beasts, monsters, bandit and other entity that has a strong will of malevolence.

The town of Brion is a peaceful town and a place where heroes spawns from, the town is divided by a very large forest which is in the middle of the town, the forest is a significant symbol because of it uniqueness, the first part of the town which is the western part was where the inhabitants mostly lives, while the other part which is the eastern part is known as a mining ground, and also known for a special region which is used by mages due to the special quality it has, "Abundance of mana," a very rare phenomenon in the whole of the Zeus empire.

The Zeus empire and the Poseon empire are in war against each other, a war that will decide whether one of the empire would be ruled by the other, this makes the Zeus empire to implement an imperial order which is to make sure the upcoming generations starting from the age of five would either be taught the principles of magic, and they should be able to gather all its four elements by the age of ten. The order doesn't not only applied on mages, swordsman are also included. since it was an imperial order, all the towns in each of the kingdom under the Zeus empire has implemented the law including Brion town.

. . . . . . .

 Three different distinct figures sped across the town of Brion at a speed which far exceeded their age, they all wore Similar costume which signifies that they're students either at the Brion mage Academy or Brion knight Academy.

"Boom."

A thud was heard as the trio bumped into each other at the middle of the town, in a forest which divides the town into two parts, shockwave makes the nearby trees whizzle as the trio bumped into each other.

 "Shit." One of them cursed as they all stands up to dust their body that has been stained by the sand

 "Am sorry for for bumping onto you guys," a young boy who seems to be around the age of eight years, donned in fitted shirt and trousers, with black leather shoes, and a pouch by his waist, which house some crystals and two pairs of short daggers, said to a pair of brother and sister.

 "It's not your fault, Iris is a little bit in haste today, that's why we bumped onto each other once again, so there's no need to be sorry." A young boy same age as Drake, with a muscular frame which is quite exquisite for his age said as he properly put his sword back into its scabbard.

 "Drake, can you please help me on a matter," the young boy who's no one other Harry, Drake's best friend said as he awaits a reply from him.

 "If it's not a life threatening matter, I'd love to dwell into it." Drake replied with an indifferent tone as he stare at Harry's sister who's a year younger than the both of them with a blank expression.

 "Iris has just been recently bullied by Han and his teammates, kindly help me keep an eye on her when you both are coming back from the academy till we meet back at our usual spot." It's common for Drake and his colleague Harry to help each other when there's any slight difficulty, since Harry is Drake's only friend apart from his parents, they both cherish the moment they share with each other.

 "If that's it there's no need to be worried." Drake said with an indifferent tone.

 "Ok, bye then." Harry said as he turned to his right side and dashed deeper into the forest, and headed straight for Brion knights academy.

 Brion knights academy is located at the western part of the second part of Brion town, while Brion mages academy is located at the eastern part of the town.

Iris and Drake activated the mana in their body as they also dash straight into the forest.

. . . . . . .

 It has been a wonderful day at Brion mages academy, Iris and Drake were returning back to their usual meeting point to meet up with Harry before Drake sense an unusual and ominous energy coming from within.

 "I sense danger," Drake said to Iris as they approach their usually meeting spot, a space in the forest that's only unique to the trio. Suddenly, one of the short daggers in Drake's waist pouch shook vigorously as it force its self outside, hovering above Drake's head, it emits a faint golden light followed by a humming sound.

 "It seems my prediction is right after all." Drake said as he glanced at the now levitating short dagger.

 "Hey spirit what's all the fuss about, and who's in danger." Drake said as he refers to the dagger that is a spirit and waits patiently as he awaits a reply.

The dagger emits a very dense golden hue and a mild humming sound enveloped the surrounding area. The dagger shot itself forward into the forest at an eye-catching speed which makes Drake a little bit agitated.

 "F*CK, when would this spirit learn morals." Drake said as he frowned his face.

 "Let's go," Drake yelled as they both charge after the dagger.

 Crimson hue liquid all over the places, a gruesome sight to behold, the leaves on the ground and the trees seems to have been drenched in human blood, a very thick blood could be seen flowing along a path that seems to have been created by whoever attacked the victim.

Drake couldn't help but mutter two word indifferently.

 "Holy shit."

The spirit dagger had led both Drake and Iris to the meeting point where he usually meets up with Iris and Harry, but behold, that was not the sight he was expected to see, what he was expecting was a sight where he would see Harry beating the hell out of bullies, but what was right in front of could be said to be bowl of blood.

 "Did Harry Just kill someone?" Drake said as he put on a stone cold expression.

 "He can't," Iris said defensively in support of his brother.

 "It would rather be that he hasn't arrived here or he left earlier." Iris said as she moved two steps forward to have a better view on the situation of her surrounding.

Suddenly, the levitating dagger gave out a shrieking noise as it release a cold chill battle intent before it pointed it tip towards the sky.

 "Oh no what's wrong." Drake mutter as he glance at the dagger and then look up to the sky.

 "Oh no." Drake yelled as he flung himself forward and readied himself to pull Iris out of the way.

"Out of the way" Drake screamed as he flung himself forward and then pulled one of Iris hand before he dragged her away from the incoming danger.

It was an oncoming iron cage which is used as a trap for catching beasts, it was descending at a very high speed from atop the trees, since most of the traps used in catching beasts are deadly, Drake didn't hesitate before implementing his actions.

 "Beasts don't lurk around this area, and even a stray is hard to find, could it be th..." Iris pondered on what the huge iron cage was used to capture as blood stains are visible on it.

 "This blood stains clearly belongs to a human, who would use such a thing to capture a human, except for a criminal." Iris blurted with confusion.

 "If this blood clearly belongs to a human, then it is evident that the cage here is used to capture the victim." Drake said as he swept his gaze around the place where a battle seems to have taken place, he expression suddenly froze, cold breeze blew past him, his body gave a faint glow as his mana began to surge rapidly, his heart began to palpitate very fast as his body was engulfed in anger and a intense killing intent rapidly surged across the whole forest.

 "Who dares anger the archimandrite lord of chaos." Drake roared out of anger as he run over to a nearby tree that initiated his anger.

 "This is bad," Iris said as she exhales a turbid of cold air.

A very tall turgid iroko tree stood distinctively among other trees in the forest, blood splatters and sword slashes were visible on the tree, an advance grade sword was stuck to the tree with blood stains on it.

 "Harryyy!!!" Drake yelled as he pulled out the legendary tier grade standard long sword out of the tree.

. . . . . . .

Thirty minutes earlier.

Harry rests his back on a tree in the forest as he awaits his sister and Drake, it was a stressful day at Brion knights academy today, Harry was sweating profusely as he fan himself with the edge of his martial art robe.

Ruffling sounds of leaves could be heard from behind, footsteps sounds approached from within, and this makes only one thought to engulf Harry's minds.

 "They are already here." Harry thought to himself as he rest on the tree tirelessly.

 "Craaaannng." Suddenly, Harry's sword vibrates as if it's responding to an external factor.

Harry raised one of his brows in awe,"only legendary tier weapons has the ability to response to any danger on it own." He thought as he stare helplessly at the sword that was shaking vigorously by his side.

As if been attracted by a magnetic force, the sword lifts itself from the ground, and then it shot straight into the forest. Sarlted by the scene that just depicts itself right in his front, Harry chased after his sword, evading trees and all sorts, he suddenly leaped into the air as the sword was about to pass through where he was previously sitting.

Gripping onto his sword firmly, he muster all his strength as he forcefully drag the sword back to the ground.

"Baaam," a thud resonated through the forest as Harry grip onto his sword.

He scanned his area to know the source of the sound. Harry was shocked by what he saw, after scanning the area he was, he was the one that was trapped in a very huge iron cage which is used as a trap for beasts.

 "Holy shit," Harry cursed, this is disgusting."

 "Hey bro, help me out," Harry yelled at two blurry figures that were approaching him.

 "Weren't helping you,"

 "Also your sister and your best friend aren't coming anytime soon."

The voice makes Harry tremble at fear because of what they might have done to his sister an it also makes anger to emanates from his body.

 Harry stared at the duo that were approaching him, they wore the normal Brion mage academy which is as shirt and trousers, leather shoes and leather bags. The duo were of average height and they also held some sparkling crystals in their hands.

Harry's eyes lit up when he discovered that the duo who were now in his front are Han subordinate, Han the tyrant as he's been referred to by his mate.

Sounds of footsteps were coming from his rear, Harry turned back to take glance on who's coming, suddenly his face turned to a dangerous and serious expression.

"What have you done to my sister!!!" Harry yelled as he stare at the duo that were now approaching him. The duo were Han and his right hand man, the duo were colleagues with Harry at the mage academy, but they've never been on good terms because they were two different entities.

Han scoffed at the now angry Harry and he said one word indifferently, "now." He muttered and water whips began to form, whips form from the soil as the two mages who were in his front manipulates the two elements.

 "Guys don't do this." Harry yelled at the four figures that were now in his front.

It has been twenty minutes already,and screams could be heard from the iron cage, Harry body was covered by bruised inflicted by the whips, but him being in pain only gives the trio and Han a feeling of satisfaction.

 "I never knew you're this weak," one of the two mages commented which only stirred more anger within him.

Harry surrounding temperature changed instantly as his eyes emanates a crimson hue.

 "Hey get out of there." Han yelled at his two subordinate, but it was already too late, Harry stomped his feet in anger as he sent a sonic wave which swept away anything that it came in contact with it, even the two mage were sent skidding through the forest. The iron cage was forcefully lifted off the ground as it shot straight into the sky.

 "You're going nowhere." Han yelled as he run towards Harry while his right hand man went over to check the condition of the two mages before coming back to join Han.

 "You all shall live to regret this." Harry said grave expression which he followed up by a very loud whistle that comes from him.

"Says a coward."

The duo charged at Harry, but he stood on the spot with a calm expression, at the last minutes Harry reacted to the duo as he barges straight into their middle, slashing the duo's legs at a fast speed, but he was also not left unscathed, two sword slashes were visible on his chest as ran across their middle, he threw his sword straight in the air as it stuck into a very huge tree firmly.

Out of nowhere, a very huge fiery vermilion bird casted over the trio, and a smile was visible on Harry's face.

Harry leaped onto the dangling sword which bounce him off into the air, withholding his opportunity, Harry grabbed onto the two legs of the huge bird as it flew into the sky.

"Cowarrrd!!!" Han yelled at the fleeing Harry with a face filled with disgust.

. . . . . . .

At Drake and Iris side

 "Who do you think can has the capability of attacking Harry and also make him flee in the whole of Brion town," Iris asked Drake as he stare at the dangling sword.

 "I don't know, but there's only one group that can do that, the tyrant and his subordinates, I mean Han and his subordinates."

"
