Phize and his team went out of the store and he held two bronze swords and 2 shields. The bronze swords looked cheap and the 2 shields had a wooden interior with a metallic outline."So a bronze sword cost 5 Fers and a shield cost 2.50 Fers," Trif stated."Yeah. We're all out of money," Phize said."I'm taking a sword and shield."He yoinked the sword and shield from him."HEY! YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE THAT! WE'LL DECIDE AS A TEAM!""In case you haven't noticed, I barely care about this team and am only helping when it benefits me. Call me selfish if you will, brat."Phize was triggered inside, "WHY YOU?!""That's fine, I don't really need a sword or shield. At the very least, using a shield just isn't my style," Hazel said to him in consideration."I see then. Lili, would you like a shield or a sword?""Neither. I'm relying on my magic," she answered confidently."I guess I get both, then,"He helped himself with the remaining equipment."Alright, enough exploring. We should start on our
Phize comforted Hazel."Hazel, are you okay?" he asked her."I'm fine but what on earth just happened? I was feeling fine but then all of a sudden, I felt like my own life was being swallowed by my own spell.""My bad, I may have just tried an experiment," he said nervously."What kind?""I can't really tell or explain it well.""That's my excuse," he thought."Do you have Incantationless Magic or something?" she asked."What should I answer her? Should I tell the truth or lie?" he pondered.He scratched his head.......Then he came to a conclusion, "I don't wanna reveal this secret. Not only is it a bit too complicated, but it's also still in the experimental phase, so I can't. I have to go along with a lie."He answered her, "I may have secretly whispered a spell on you..."She hit him in the head."Do one of those things again, and you'll get more of where those came from," she threatened."Noted."Trif and Lili came back with 5 carrots and a tomato."This is the best I could ga
Hazel went and bought 4 bowls of salads. The salads were made out of lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and cucumbers and the bowl was made out of brown-colored plastic.Munch. Munch. Chomp.They went and ate their food as fast as they could.Grrr.Their stomachs still grumbled."Tsk. Just lay and rest and you'll forget you were ever hungry," Trif stated.He walked to the north.He continued, "I found a bench over there and I'm taking it. The rest of you find a place to sleep. Good night, I guess."He left them."A loner as usual. I can sleep on the floor, you two can go try to find a place to sleep if you want," Lili told them.She went near a house, crawled herself up, and she slept beside it."Just like a cat," Phize thought."Let's go look for a place to sleep," Hazel told him."Yeah, we should."They walked through the dark city. The city had few lights, which was expected since it was a city that prioritized plant life. The lights that shone were the bioluminescence of the fireflies and
Many hours passed by and Phize's party finally reached the village. It was afternoon. Phize and his party were happily strolling along.Phize spoke, "Ah~ We finally arriv-"Trif rapidly stopped Phize from talking with his hand.Phize shoved his hand away.He complained, "WHAT ARE YOU DOI-"Trif interrupted him, "Shh. I hear something.""What?""Look closely," he said as he pointed in front of him.They all examined the village from up afar.Lili whispered, "Someone raided the village.""What do we do?" Hazel asked."What else do we have to do? We kill them," Trif declared."K-Kill them?! Can't we just tie them up?" Phize asked.He replied, "That depends on the situation. I don't mind if my hands are covered in blood. But you people can do whatever you want and go the safe route, but if the situation is dire, then you know what to do."He ran to the village.He yelled, "HEY!"Tara and her men stared at him charging at them."Who is that?" she asked her men."Looks like a child," the fi
Tara stared at Phize.She thought, "I don't exactly know what happened but 2 of them against a child is surely an advantage on our side, what were they thinking?"She peered at her lone subordinate ready to take Phize on. She approached him and stopped him from rushing mindlessly."Stop, I'll take him on with you, Thash," she told him."Thanks, leader."Phize thought to himself, "Hm, so these two are my opponents? Great. This'll be a perfect chance to practice my skills on."She darted to him and went for a pierce.Phize blocked this attack with the shield from his left hand.Thash went to his left and went for a pierce to his head.Phize ducked and retreated."I guess, I should try not to underestimate them," he perceived.......On the other hand, on Trif's battlefield, the two men he threw stood up in a hurry and rose their swords."Ragel, I need you to cooperate with me," the first man said to the other."Pio, I got you," the other answered.Trif grunted, "Ah, what a pain. It's
Ragel rose from the ground, his face was beaten up, his forehead was bleeding, and some of his teeth were broken.Pio was on the ground unconscious.Ragel dropped his sword."I won't stand up for this. If you'll fight me without a sword, then so would I," he proclaimed."Such poor choice of words," Trif stated.He bolted to Ragel. He released his fist, but Ragel blocked it with his elbows."ACK!!!"Ragel felt intense pain in his elbows. He continued punching him. Ragel was stuck in a defensive position and blocked all of them with his elbows.Crack.His ulna had been fractured.His defense fell apart, dropping both of his arms.Right when Trif was about to give another blow to the head, Ragel glanced beyond him, then his feet were stuck to the ground."What?""Shadow Bind," Pio chanted.A dark shadow came from Pio and it reached up until Trif.He struggled to break free from the spell.Pio nodded to Ragel, and so he grabbed his sword with his left arm.He slowly took hold of the sword
Back to Hazel's fight, Bolt was covered with rock, so she only needed to concentrate on Flitz, supposedly lying on the ground.She ran to him.She passed through the sector of rock, where Bolt was trapped.She was getting closer to Bolt and prepared her sword.However, when she was running to him, she felt vibrations coming from the sector of rock Bolt was encased."Where is that coming from?" she wondered.She turned around to see what was going on."There?" she pondered.The vibrations steadily grew by the second.She had her defense up and lifted her shield.Moments later, the rock started to crack, and there was Bolt, he went as fast as lightning, piercing the shield through which unfortunately for Hazel, happened to slice through her arm as well."ACK!"She got pushed with such intense force, that she had to use her feet to counter it. She ended up getting pushed around 5 meters from where she stood.Then from behind, she was stabbed in the right.She was bleeding and she dropped
Phize tied them up with some rope."That should do it. I bet the others are done too, I should go to them."He wasn't far off from the village, so it didn't take long to get back.He saw Trif waiting for him by the well."Took you long enough," Trif said."You're done too."He glanced to the left and then to the right."Where are the others?" he asked Trif."Beats me," Trif replied."How about the people of the village?""They're just inside there," he said as he pointed to the house on his right.""Well, why don't you untie them? I'll go find the other two."He grunted, "Fine."He went inside the house."Maybe I'll go find Lili first, she was nearer to me, if I recall, she's just over to the northeast," Phize said.He went to the northeast and walked for some time. After traveling a certain amount of meters, he saw Lili's stabbed body, she was losing a lot of blood. He rushed to her aid."LILI, WHAT HAPPENED HE-"He saw the tremendous amounts of blood, he saw the corpse of her oppone
