Deep in a forest, there were animal corpses littered around and the originally large monster horde waa reduced to half.
James stood in front of the monster horde with tattered clothes and injuries all over his body. In front if him were the three monster kings, there was no more savage look on its face and instead there was the look of obedience."Wow the beast tamer skill was really useful in this situation even though it had a price" James said happily as he thought of his plan. He and sat on the back of the strongest beast king and told it to move in the direction of the city but it should stay at the end of the horde.Meanwhile the city lord had gathered his esper army who stood behind him like a huge wall.The soldiers stood as if everything was fine but the atmosphere was extremely tense and to get rid of the tense atmosphere, the city lord decided to give a speech.COUGH"I know that you are all scared of the eminent battle but I want you all to cheer up, because we are doing this to protect our families so even if we die, our families will be safe" The city lord said and paused to observe the faces of the soldiers."So I want to assure you that I your as your city lord will gladly put my life on the line to ensure that your families will survive this battle and I pray that you are also ready to do the same" The city lord ended his speech with a cheer which also lifted the spirits of the others.As they were waiting for the horde to arrive, they sang a song to keep their spirits high and as they were, they heard a loud rumbling sound that sounded as if thousands of men were stomping on the ground.Immediately they heard the sound they knew what it was and then the atmosphere became tense once more.The rumbling sound continued for some time, before the monster horde were seen coming out of the forest.While the men men were waiting for the horde to move closer to them, the most surprising thing happened.The monster horde stopped just a little distance away from their traps.When the Soldiers saw this, their hearts jumped into their throats as they thought that the horde had seen through their plan.They were shocked when they saw the horde separate into two, and make way for a gigantic monster which they immediately identified as the strongest monster king, because they two other monster kings behind it but the remaining two were no where to be found.As they looked at each others faces, they realized they were thinking the same thing 'When did the monsters become so intelligent'.When they had calmed down, they received another shock because on the strongest monster king's back was a human, the first one to recognize the human was the city lord.SNOREWhile they were trying to make sense of the situation, they heard a snore coming from the human which caused their expressions to become dark.As if realizing his situation, James sprung up like a spring and looked around before relaxing.He went back to sleeping on the monsters back which caused the soldiers to wonder if he was aware of what was going on.After making the soldiers wait for an hour, he woke up and stretched his body before getting down from the monster Kong's back and smiling at the soldiers back."Sorry for making you wait so long, I was feeling sleepy so I decided to take a quick nap but mistakenly fell into a deep sleep" James said to the soldiers as he walked towards them.Hearing this the soldiers had the urge to beat him up and were thinking, you clearly saw us and yet still took a nap in this situation.The city lord jumped to the ground and moved towards James with a speed the naked eye couldn't see and a fireball gradually materialised in one hand and a iceball in the other hand.As James thought the city lord would throw it at him, the city lord suddenly moved his two hands together and merged the fire and iceballs together which turned into a ball containing the two elements and then threw it at James.Facing the yinyang ball approaching him, James was calm and as he expected, his surrounding suddenly slowed down and the ball also slowed down.He walked towards the ball and studied it as he started wondering if he would also be able to merge his own Ice cage, fire domain and wind fury together like this.As he was thinking, he noticed that time was going back to normal so he moved to the back of the city lord and then time went back to normal.The yinyang ball landed on James previous location and created a huge crater which also caused the ground to shake. The city lord didn't see any sign of James so he thought he was dead but then he heard cries of shock and astonishment from his soldiers behind him.The city lord first thought it was because of his attack but then he heard a voice behind him which made him freeze."I am only here to help you, I mean you no harm"James whispered into the city lord's ear.When the city lord heard this, he froze and turned slowly to face the source of the voice and what met him was James smiling at him without any injuries."Howw did you.. " The city lord stammered as his heart was filled with fear, he couldn't believe that this seemingly weak esper could move so fast and appear behind him without him even noticing, and what was more terrifying was his voice which was so calm as if everything was in his control."I told you not to worry, I am only here to help you" James said in his calm voice once again."Youu don't comee nearr mee" The city lord said with fear in his voice.He moved back slowly and turned around to run but as he turned around what met him was an cold voice."You are making my work a lot harder than it needs to be" An ice cold voice with a hint of killing intent said slowly to the city lord.When he heard the voice, his legs grew cold as he felt a cold blade on his neck and then a warm liquid flowed down his legs and his pants became wet"You are making my work a lot harder than it needs to be" An ice cold voice with a hint of killing intent said slowly to the city lord.When he heard the voice, his legs grew cold as he felt a cold blade on his neck and then a warm liquid flowed down his legs and his pants became wet."Okay I am sorry"The city lord said to James after calming down.SIGN"why are you so scared when I haven't even done anything" James said as he started to think of what to say to the man. "Who are you?" The city lord asked with a look of respect."I can't tell you who I am because it will only cause you disaster, I was just passing who was passing through your lands but decided to test you and I am glad to say that you passed the test, I prepared this monster horde as a reward to protect you from who or whatever will have ill intentions against you" James said with a smile as he tried to look cool. "Oh then I will thank you my lord on behalf of my people, please let us have a feast in your name to tha
Standing in the secret room, James was filled with shock as he tried to make sense of the visions he just saw."Are you okay my lord" The city lord asked with a worried face. "Yes I am, um.. whose bow is this?" James asked."Oh this bow was given to us by a stranger who said that we should keep it safe and that when the time is right, the owner will come to claim it" The city lord said. "What did the person like look like" James asked the city lord. "I didn't actually see his face because he wore a cape but I did see a part of his hair which was golden" The city lord replied as he remembered."Where is this place called?" James asked again. "This place is called the city of light" The city lord answered calmly. "The city of light, wait there isn't anywhere on earth that is called the city of light" James said as he grew more confused. "Earth?, isn't that the planet that the stranger said, the owner of the bow will come from?" The city lord said confused."What planet is this? "
As he said that his eyes glowed red with a menacing light but it soon disappeared before the woman noticed. After 4 hours, all the soldiers were gathered outside and the generals, the city lord and his parents were also standing in front of them. "Thank you all for gathering here on such short notice and I am sure you are also wondering why, we are gathered here because in one hour, we will be besieged by waves of monster horde but still we will come out victorious because even though they have the advantage of numbers, we also have our secret weapon, teamwork, so we will fight for our city, our families and our lives! " The city lord said to the soldiers to boost their morale and it worked because when he ended, the soldiers responded with all loud cheer and he could sense their anticipation but then something unexpected happened that caused their morale to plummel.As they were cheering, the ground started to tremble lightly but as time went by, it started to tremble strongly.The
"The demon slaying dagger" The city lord's father whispered to himself."Who are you " The demon screamed in pain as it stared at James with wariness."It is not who I am that matters but what I am about to do that matters" James said calmly as the wind blew his cape. "So cool " That was the only thing in the hearts of the soldiers when they heard him. "You will pay for this, I will cut you into pieces and feed you to the monsters" The demon said angrily as it charged forward.IRON FISTA punch struck the demon before it could react and after that two kicks followed quickly and slammed the demon on the chest which made it to crash into the ground. "I thought you were going to make me pay hahaha" James said with a grin as he followed the demon and repeatedly dealt punch after punch on it until it spat out dark blood which splashed on James."You fool, our blood is one of the most poisonous substances in the universe and you just let it splash on you, now you will pay" The demon said
"Oh it seems that you have a bounty on your hard and it just so happens that I am a bounty hunter so you know how that will work out" James said with a wild laugh as he used the first skill of the flaming sword again since he had infinite mana, he was going to make the best of his time.LIGHTENING SLASHThe sword pierced through his skin and hit the same spot which caused it to once again bleed, as the injury was about to heal, James used the skill once again which caused the blade to sink deeper and cause a larger cut which surprised Zaroc because he knew that the skill would require a large amount of energy so he thought James could only use it once or twice but surprisingly, he could use it again and that caused he to stop underestimating him. As James was about to use the skill again, Zaroc grabbed the sword which interrupted the skill then threw a punch towards him and because of how close they were, James could only dodge the punch if he let go of the sword but instead of dodgi
"Where is Zaroc, he was supposed to be here by now, what is keeping him" One of the Demon lieutenant said to the other."Maybe he has found a treasure because even though he is the weakest, there is no one on earth that can threaten him" The other one said to him.As they were talking, James stepped out from the bushes with a smile as he walked towards them."Oh there you are, get ready to die" James said with a grin as he ran towards them and used the sword tornado skill, air started to gather on the sword which started to spin slowly at first, then the speed started to increase until it firmed a tornado.As the sword was about to strike the first demon lieutenant on the arm a shield appeared and blocked the attack but it broke upon impact and the attack continued to move forward which caused a look of surprise to appear on the face of the demon lieutenant.The sword struck demon on his arm and sliced through it like paper and cut the arm off but as he was about to stab the demon in t
Orik kept fuming and cursing while running but in his heart, he was scared to admit that he had abandoned his leader. "You are really slow, you know, now get ready to die" James said to scare Orik. "You.. how did.. where is Nanook " Nanook said after stammering in fear while he took out a black orb with black flames revolving within it. "Well let's just say, he didn't make it, enough talk about him let's finish this quickly, you have already wasted enough of my time and I always like to be on time" James said calmly to Nanook after seeing the black orb."YOU, I WILL KILL YOU!" Orik said while rushing towards James with black flames of rage burning in his eyes. He tried to punch James but everytime he did, James always blocked or dodged them but he didn't attack back. "You now for a demon, you are really dumb" James said to enrage him. "WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!" Orik said with increased anger as he increased the speed of his attacks. "You abandoned your leader and fled in battl
He didn't know why but he felt strangely attracted to this boy like he had known him before but when he searched through his memories, he didn't find any trace of him and that could only mean one thing, he was from his previous life so he asked him to be his disciple to study him and see if he could trigger any memories."Mister, who is a disciple?" Tom asked innocently with a curious look on his face. "Oh yeah, I forgot that you are only a child, a disciple is someone who follows his master and listen to his instructions as he teaches him and passes down his knowledge onto him, so would you like to be my disciple" James explained to Tom then asked him again. "Yes I would like to be your disciple, does that mean I will be as powerful as you" Tom said excitedly."Yes it does but you see, with great power comes great responsibility so you should be ready to bear a great burden because the power that I will give you will bring you trouble but don't worry because I will be there to prot
