The gates were closed.
Everyone was stuck inside the Forsaken Village.
The players were ready.
The only thing missing were the opponents.
"I hear some movements from afar." Pablo said and the next moment…
The missing thing arrived.
"Raaaaaaaangghhhh!!!"
A war cry responded in the area and as Pablo said, they were coming.
From in front of Pablo and the soldiers, a huge mob was running towards them.
Their infrared glasses picked up many signs of heat and they were ready.
"They are the real soldiers. It’s very likely it is a true army. Don’t take it lightly. Give it your all. If you are waiting for a command…"
Pablo raised his right hand and instantly brought it down.
If the soldiers were waiting for the Command then he would surely give them one. Which, he did.
"Raaaaaaaangghhhhhhhhh!!!"
The soldiers of Forza Kingdom did a warcry of their own and they ran towards the incoming enemies.
The high dukes and Socrates also let loose and bolted along with the soldiers.
"They are coming from only one direction. From the front. Not from the sides. From the front. They came out of the ground. And they are all Cannibals. The Vampires aren’t there." Andrezj shared everything he saw.
’How do you know they are Cannibals? Can you see people’s races?’ Pablo asked.
"We are Angels. We can see. And the Vampires are easily recognisable. They are clean, smart and elegant. These are definitely Cannibals. All of them are running blindly towards you with weapons and saliva on their faces." Cupid answered instead of Andrezj.
’I see. No wonder I sensed none of the Vampires. So it means they must be waiting for something else. They will show up for sure.’
"You won’t fight this time as well?"
Pablo looked at the person who asked that.
He was standing at Pablo’s right side and it was someone Pablo had no intention of interacting with.
Only Pablo and Jamal were standing at the same place as before.
They didn’t run towards the enemies.
They were just standing.
"Why didn’t you go to fight?" Pablo asked the same question to Jamal.
Jamal stayed silent for a second but he soon answered.
"If you think so highly of yourself that it’s below you to fight these small fries even when you did nothing worthy to think like that then I definitely deserve it to take it easy as I have proven my worth. I will also fight when it’s absolutely necessary."
’Nice. This guy has shit for brains.’
"I am not fighting for an entirely different reason. First of all, all those people are Cannibals. No Vampires are there. So the Vampire army still hasn’t arrived. We have to be on the lookout for that.
But since you have already made a fictional story inside your head, suit yourself. Do whatever you want."
Pablo stopped talking.
"Wait. How do you know all these people are Cannibals? There must be some vampires among them." Jamal found a question.
"It’s a blood thing. I drank the blood of a royal Vampire. I can sense if there are vampires or not." Pablo replied and it was true. He really could sense the presence of Vampires.
Nevertheless, after that talk, Jamal was not all that comfortable anymore.
He roamed his head around, swung his hands back and forth
"Hah! Guess, I should go and kill some time."
Jamal held the handle of the two swords on his back and took them out.
Without sparing any words to Pablo, he took off towards the enemies.
An awkward silence hung in the place and Cupid broke it.
Pablo sighed. ’He was just embarrassed.’
’He said all that about me thinking highly of myself and then I told him why wasn’t I fighting, he then probably felt ashamed and cringed about his made up fictional reason that’s why he ran away.’
Cupid raised her brows. "He is a grown up and he still feels those things. Hard to believe."
’Forget that. I have better things to do.’
Pablo stood on his feet, looking around.
"Why are you still talking through your mind? Use your mouth. No one is near you at the moment." Cupid requested.
’Anyone can come at any time. It’s safe to talk . And shut up for a second.’
Cupid obliged. She didn’t talk after that and Pablo kept looking around.
"What are you looking for?" Someone asked but it wasn’t Cupid this time. It was Andrezj.
"I am looking for any heat signs other than these Cannibals here. And I also can’t sense any Vampires here, not at all." Pablo answered and he used his mouth this time.
Which didn’t sit right with Cupid.
She gasped. "What? You answered him out loud but refused to answer me? That’s so cruel!"
Pablo ignored her and Andrezj ignored her as well. The male Angel could understand why Pablo does that—ignoring Cupid that is. She was annoying to some extent.
"Maybe the Vampires know how to hide themselves? They should be in this village, right?" Andrezj guessed.
"They should be in the village but that is under normal circumstances. If I don’t find them here then… let’s just hope they are here."
"There is also the task that the King gave you. Then you have to find my dearest as well. Too much on your plate, huh."
"Yeah. There is one more thing other than Sera and the King’s task."
"What’s that?" Andrezj asked. Both males were talking. Cupid didn’t exist for them now.
"You will know soon enough. But let’s find some Vampires."
Pablo took out his hands from his pocket and finally started walking.
And he walked straight towards the battlezone.
The soldiers and Cannibals were destroying each other and many people were flying in the air. Well, they were being thrown in the air by Boulder.
Pablo reached closer to the battlefield and he met someone very fast.
"You! Die!" The Cannibal roared.
He swung his sword and he also brought his mouth to Pablo’s throat.
Pablo ducked, dodging the sword and the mouth of the Cannibal.
Then he held the throat of the Cannibal instead with his right hand.
He held the hand of the Cannibal on which the sword was and Pablo used his strength to bring the sword closer to the Cannibal’s neck.
The Cannibal would die with his own sword.
He couldn’t overpower Pablo’s strength and Pablo had no intention of wasting time.
"Congratulations…" He said and with no remorse, he made the Cannibal cut his own neck.
"You are the first one I killed."
