The Chronicles Of Rhaxtyx

Miriam flew through the air and hit the wall of a nearby house. Where she hit the wall had crack and was obvious that she hit pretty hard. She didn't move after falling to the ground. Her hair was blocking her face so Rhaxtyx couldn't see if her eyes were open or not. Her position was also making it impossible to know if she was breathing from where Antaler and Rhaxtyx was.

Rhaxtyx's eyes were wide open and there was anger and grief in them. The cause of this development was smiling when looking at her. He then turned his around to where Rhaxtyx was and lifted his sword. At that time Rhaxtyx got attacked by the two assassins.

"Scram!"

He swung his sword but hit empty air. The assassins dodged his sword strike quite easily.

"Showing your true colors at last? Okay then let me try this."

He jumped back and held his sword in front of him. As he was starting chanting, he got stabbed by their daggers. This was the usual way to stop wizards from chanting in combat; make them bleed and they can2t focus on the chant because of the pain. That's why every mage had a knight covering them in combat. Rhaxtyx however did not need those kinds of things.

{Go fast, at the speed speed of sound, Sonic Boom!

May your force be heard…}

Him chanting despite being hurt was shocking for the assassins but they still managed to take a step back as they saw their target come out of the huge {Firestorm} without a scratch. But they still underestimated Rhaxtyx's capabilities as the roar he let out dispersed even the flames of the {Firestorm} that was overwhelmingly hot.

*ROAR*

The assassins launched back by the force and even Antaler and his opponent was affected by this roar. When they looked, they saw the two assassins and the debris around in the air. Rhaxtyx then turned around and while the two assassins were still in the air, dropped his sword in the ground and aimed at both of them with his hands.

{Blazing flames of the nether realm come forth

And manifest your wrath upon my foes}

After chanting, he chanted again and fired two {Firebolt} spells at them, hitting them squarely in their c.h.e.s.t. He then took his sword from the ground and rushed at them as they fell to the ground. He was in front of them before they could get up so Rhaxtyx swiftly finished one of them off, while the other one got up and dashed towards the knights. The assassin at Antaler's side was also the same, retreating to the knights' side. They were having a small talk between them while their leader was silently observing the fight just now.

"Wow. He got some skills. Why is he n.a.k.e.d though?" (Knight #1)

"Maybe he has no money to buy a decent dress?" (Knight #2)

"Milord." (Assassin)

"Mhm. You did well. Fellas."

The leading knight looked at the knights behind him and did a small nod. To this, other knights drew their blades and cut at the assassins. The assassin leader, just barely dodging the blade instinctively, looked at the knight and asked in a begging manner.

"Why are you doing this milord?"

"You have fulfilled your purpose. I don not have a need for you anymore."

"Milord! Ack!"

Their sentence was left unfinished as the sword finished their life. After that, the knights looked at Antaler and Rhaxtyx, smiling while releasing their killing intent.

"Sir Terry! I hope you have a decent explanation about your behavior." (Antaler)

"Mage Antaler. It is an honor to be able to talk to you face to face. I was just about to ask the same thing. These people are wanted criminals, I hope you have a decent explanation."

"These people helped the Kingdom in its crisis! Don't tell me you don't appreciate help now. This kingdom doesn't turn its back on-"

"You do not get to decide how this Kingdom acts, mage. Know your place."

"Do you realize who you are talking to? Your position is beneath me. Whether it be social standing or in the royal court."

Sir Terry's eyebrow twitched a little as Antaler was right. As the sole apprentice of the Arch-Mage of the Kingdom, he was above him in ranks. Especially after he got promoted by King himself after he found out about the incident regarding Feraz Village. But he didn't really care about what their ranks were. He had his orders to kill everyone there and he was intent on doing just that.

"I will be reporting this, Sir Terry. So better prepare yourself for the consequences."

"What will be reported is this, mage: Me and my team of knights came here after we saw the big pillar of fire. We saw a group of terrorists infighting after they couldn't agree who would get what as a reward. They were already fighting each other when we arrived so we put an end to it. As for the consequences, I believe we are ready."

As Sir terry talked, other knights rode their horses and made a circle around Rhaxtyx and Antaler. Their eyes radiated their killing intent. Rhaxtyx observed their formation and when he saw that there were no gaps he could use, he whispered to Antaler's ear.

"I want you to create a gap for me. Can you do that?"

"I- I can yes. But what are you planning?"

"You don't have to know that."

When Antaler looked at Rhaxtyx, he saw that his eyes were locked onto Terry. He knew Rhaxtyx was angry and he could understand him. He nodded and started mumbling. Sir Terry saw that and knew he was trying to chant a spell.

"Ah-ah. You don't get to do that mage."

Right after that, the surrounding knights charged at them with their weapons drawn and on their horses. Rhaxtyx was also chanting a Tier 1 {Sonic Boom} to keep the enemies away even for a bit. After he chanted he jumped and roared, making the horses scared with the roar and making the knights stagger and fall hopefully. But to Rhaxtyx's surprise, it didn't work like he had hoped. The riders didn't even budge and the horses were only slightly irritated by the roar but not afraid of it like he had planned initially.

But it still bought some time for Antaler to complete his chant.

{Shockwave}

After Antaler completed his chant, an invisible force pushed the knights surrounding them away and ultimately throwing them down from their horses. Rhaxtyx used this opportunity and dashed at Sir Terry with his sword at his hand. When Sir Terry saw this, he smiled smugly and spoke.

"Are you sure you want to leave him behind, all alone against four knights?" (Terry)

"I think you should worry about yourself more."

Rhaxtyx jumped and enhanced his sword with the force enchantment he learned from the assassins in the magic shop. When Sir Terry saw this, he frowned and drew his blade also. Their swords made contact and a sharp sound made its way to their ears. They pushed each other back with that collision. Rhaxtyx fell on the ground and Terry was also almost falling to the ground.

"Haha. I see you have one of the swords I gave to those idiots huh. But it is more powerful than I remember. Tell me, what have you done to it?" (Terry)

"So you were the one to send the men in the magic shop?"

"Who else would it be? But that doesn't answer my question."

"This is my own sword."

"You enchanted it yourself?"

"Yeah. I can do that."

"I see. It'll be a shame to kill a talented enchanter. But that doesn't mean I won't enjoy it."

Rhaxtyx smiled. Sir Terry also smiled when he saw this.

"Aren't you going to get down from your horse? I'm sure it'll get in the way when we fight."

"You are right. That and I don't want to lose a good horse. It is hard to find one these days."

"Yeah I understand. But it is always hard to find a good steed don't you think?"

"Haha! You are right on that one!"

"Haha."

They laughed a little while Terry sent his horse away with a light slap on its a.s.s. The knights were fighting with Antaler and the sounds of their combat was hearable to everyone nearby. There were civilians that were watching this fight from the beginning and they all knew that. Rhaxtyx and Sir Terry were letting them enjoy this final clash. They looked at each other without talking. Saying anything would be pointless at this point for them so they just waited for the other one to make the first move.

They stood like that for a minute straight. A man in armor and a man fully n.a.k.e.d looking at each other while holding their swords. It sounds like it would have a very different meaning in any other situation. Rhaxtyx thought about this and involuntarily laughed out loud.

"What?" (Terry)

"Hahaha. No! No… It's just. I just thought of something! Haha. It's nothing really."

"Idiot."

"Haaa. Anyway aren't you going to attack? I'm quite bored already."

"Right back at you. Don't you want to be at an advantage? You say you are also bored so that's a win-win isn't it?"

"Well, I guess… I mean, if you are not coming, I will certainly move first."

"See? Problem solved."

But they didn't move for about half a minute. At this point, the fight in the background also stopped. The knights and Antaler were also looking in their direction right now.

"Haaah! Fine! Here I come!" (Rhaxtyx)
