A little boys Opened his eyes and then darkness greeted him but he just make them vanish.
When he continued to look ahead only cold eyes greeted him but again he make them vanish
Today he looked at the starry sky but the sky was dark devoured by darkness and then a light appeared.
When he opened his eyes again he see it this great darkness ready to strike the neck oh his friend.
But he won't let that happen and at this moment these lifeless black eyes turn to grey. A grey with life and who will protect everything he cherish.
***
Mathias fell to his knees on the ground, his body aching like hell, and when he looked up he noticed the woman standing in front of him. He tried to get up immediately, but fell pathetically to the ground.
"....." an immeasurable pain seized him making him roll on the ground in pain no sound came out as his throat had been destroyed and his heart and abdomen wounds were not healing.
"It hurts, it hurts" he wanted to shout, but he couldn't because his throat had been destroyed, then his body began to tremble and his eyes and nose began to drip blood, but despite his destroyed abdomen, he coughed up blood as veins began to appear on his body, ready to explode.
"So it worked" the woman spoke at last with a blank expression on her face, "so this witch didn't lie".
Hearing this, Mathias was seized by a sudden rage and rose to his feet ready to attack as he concentrated his energy to attack, but his veins finally exploded spurting blood and causing more pain for Mathias.
"The more energy you use, the more your body will fall to pieces. In your place, I'll deactivate your Count form so you don't die immediately" she said to Mathias.
Mathias on the ground looked at her with boiling rage and his red eyes glowed even brighter with every second but the more this happened the more the pain increased.
"Shit!"thinked Mathias Immediately, his eyes returned to their original form as the black disappeared and gave way to white once more, his pointed ears regained their human form and the stifling heat that covered the battlefield disappeared too.
"Phew" thought Mathias as the pain subsided, but immediately an even more violent pain seized him.
"Oh sorry I forgot to say that the poison may have been using your energy but it was also the one slowing it down but now it looks like the poison has free rein." spoke the woman again
"Fuck you" mathias wanted to shout, realizing he'd been tricked, what an idiot he'd been listening to her.
"Don't look at me like that, by the time you'd swallowed that poison you should have been weak enough not to be able to regenerate and my attack should have killed you in one fell swoop but the poison didn't worked and you were able to resist my attack."
With that, she approached mathias who was on the ground and kicked him in the face, sending him tumbling.
"And that's for earlier," she said.
She turned and signaled to the hooded men with a nod that all was over, which lit up their faces.
They deactivated their force fields and rushed towards the woman.
"What's happened? Why is he in such a state?" asked one of them, his gaze going to Mathias, whose condition was deteriorating rapidly.
"Plan A was a success, but it seems that the poison he swallowed yesterday have make his effect only now."answered the woman
"Yesterday? I didn't swallow anything"thought mathias after hearing that.
"Wait,I did drink alcohol last night at the bar of this witch. Damn it I have been tricked by this bitch;No wonder she have invitated me."
This realization hit Mathias hard and a black anger seized him. "I'm going to kill her" he swore in his heart.
Don't be so angry, you know how witches are. Give them what they want and they'll do anything for you. It's you boys who let your guard down" said the woman coldly.
She grabbed Mathias by the hair and brought him to his knees.
"I'm going to finish you off now, but don't worry, I'll make sure it's quick. She said as she raised her sword, which began to burn with its five crosses.
Mathias tried to move, but couldn't. He could see the blade starting to descend, ready to slash at his neck.
"No "he thought desperately as he closed his eyes and the image of a man appeared.
"You're a failure" he heard "Yes" he answered.
....
Mathias felt nothing as he opened his eyes, saw the blade close to his neck and raised his head to see the woman's face...
But he didn't see it, because her head was no longer attached to her body, and he saw blood gush from the motionless body before falling to the ground.
"What the...?" Mathias asked himself as he looked up to see the hooded men completely stunned.
A sudden shiver ran through his body before he noticed that the air had become heavier and that everything around him - the fire, the debris, even the woman's body - was parting in a black smoke that gave off an aura both disturbing and supernatural. Not a sound came out of anyone's mouth - the atmosphere was too heavy and everyone felt that a single word would lead to their death.
Dooong
Dooong
The sound of a bell was heard from nowhere
Yaa-ya-ya-yip-yip-yaaaawooo! The cry erupted in the darkness like demonic laughter, making even the shadows shudder: it sounded like a pack of spectres mocking the living.
The Black smoke rose into the sky and suddenly disappeared, leaving nothing but emptiness.
Only the five crossed sword remained the cross in the blade have long enough stopped emanating light.
Mathias inwardly wondered what was going on... then he saw it.
A dark, ethereal figure enveloped in the same wisp of black smoke that had taken over everything.
Standing behind one of the hooded men, he smiled a dark smile that terrified him.
Seeing Mathias' terrified expression Who his look was behind him, the hooded man didn't think twice and drew a dagger from his sleeve, ready to attack.
"Show yourself" he shouted as he turned and launched an attack on the black mass.
KRAAK-SPLATCH
A roar of shattering bone followed by a splintering of flesh like meat crushed between a monster's teeth.His arm have been crushed like nothing.
Slash
The man's head fell before he had time to react and be aware of anything.
The others who hadn't reacted turned to see their comrade dead, but the smoke-black figure had disappeared.
The figure reappeared behind them and held out both hands before taking the head of one of them between them.
Splash
He crushed the head instantly, dropping the body and spurting out blood, and when he opened his hands, brain fluid spilled onto the floor.
The figure didn't disappear this time: he remained motionless, letting the other hooded men turn to look at him.
"Monster" shouted one of them, dashing forward with dagger in hand.
"Wait" shouted another, but it was too late: the figure had instantly moved towards his companion.
SCHLUUCK-CRRCH
The black figure's fist slammed into his belly with a wet thud, followed by a muffled crack as his sides split under the brute force.
"Die" one of the men appeared in the air with a luminous sword in his hand. The figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of him in the air, letting his companion's body fall and grabbing him by the face with one hand.
Splash
He crushed it with a sharp blow and disappeared again.
"Ret__" tried to speak one of them
Slash
But the figure decapitated him with a sharp blow who reappeared behind him.
The others, seeing this, immediately moved away and dispersed, sleeping in groups of two.
"Don't stay alone". shouted one of them, bow in hand, while his partner offered a prayer and the arrow lit up with light.
"Go back to hell!" he shouted, releasing the arrow which flew off without a sound, heading for his enemy.
But the figure raised his hand and caught the arrow between his hands.
"Shie__" he tried to call out as his arrow was easily stopped.
But his partner's head flew off and the black figure was already standing in front of him, grabbing his head with one hand and pulling his head from his body, crushing it in his hands.
A sudden light appeared next to the mysterious figure and when he turned around he saw a bolt of light coming at him from two hooded men and was struck full force.
But when the bolt of lightning struck him, she just disappeared in black smoke, as if absorbed.
Bzzzzz
The black mass crackled and black lightning shot out of its body, striking the two individuals who had attacked it head-on. Their burnt bodies fell as black lightning crackled over them.
The figure disappeared again, reappearing in front of another group, and then took each of their heads.
Splash
He smashed them together with force, sending their brain fruit flying.
He turned and saw another group preparing to attack and he appeared right before them.
He rose his hand and his finger expanded, giving the appearance of sharp claws.
He brought his hand down at full speed and the two individuals were cut into several pieces.
Mathias watched the massacre with horror and amusement. Although the sight of carnage thrilled him, he had the distinct certainty that he would not be spared.
"Aaaaah"
"No no please"
The screaming continued as the figure slaughtered them all without the slightest difficulty.
The last group fell with the transferer, who began to flee at full speed. "Hel---"he was pierced in the mouth by the figure who lifted him up before throwing him away like a garbage bag.
The figure stood still, watching Mathias, then suddenly reappeared in front of him, his hands with long claws ready to strike at his neck.
Mathias didn't close his eyes this time, watching as the claws descended in slow motion, soon to tear him apart.
"STOP" a voice shouted and suddenly the figure stopped his attack, no he was stopped.
All around him, a grey aura covered him, immolating him, and suddenly he was thrown hundreds of metres, landing with a crash.
Mathias turned to see...Miguel standing surrounded by a grey aura, his eyes...grey, lighting up.
"He is Alive" Mathias thought, an incredible joy enveloping him.
Then Miguel stepped forward and suddenly disappeared, reappearing in front of Mathias and the black figure that had risen.
"Coyote... I won't let you do any more harm....."
