Within the confins of the cities lords estate a scholary man sat in the main office with a desk of six small orbs no bigger then an apple lined across the dest staring at the intently waiting for them to change an any way.
The man was known simply as Kiser as he had reframmed from taking any title with his rise to power and a man truly dedicated to the kingdom he also wore plain yellow tunic and loose fitting pants his looks were also plain with hair that fell just below his jaw line and a stoic expression underneath is rugged beard as he had never really liked the need to show off his position, wealth and power but time and time again he had to step into problems that arose in the kingdom that many nobles had ignored out of ignorance or lack of benefits to them.
The same thing was happening to the sun lands as with many of the crops showing signs of withering and cattle constantly dying form unknown alignments and even the experience merchants dyeing causing most of the merchandise that should be used to run a multitude of businesses vanishing into the pockets of others leaving them to suffer but the lords don't care as they believe that the problems of the people they govern are their own forgetting that without the people they are nothing.
With small flicker of light the far left globe shined and a female voice traveled through.
"Master I haven't found anything special about any of those that were counted among deceased but I did pick up on an interesting pattern among those who were first to be reported they were all hunters and or beast tamers"
"hunters and beast tamers, it seems who ever is responsible is most likely a beast tamer themselves as it would make sense as those experience with beast could narrow down the culprit, is there an indications of were they started if so you senior sister could be able to quickly determine who is responsible?"
with a slight pause the voice didn't respond immediately " from what I can tell the deaths and disappearance were all reported roughly the same time,.....it seems that we may not be dealing with one individual"
"it would appear so return to the lords mansion I will inform the rest of your...."
With a sudden flash each orb flicked a dark black light before each suddenly crumbled all except the center orb representing his strongest discible.
"NOOOO" with a sudden shout the man stud up the desk and chair terring into shambles as his power surged from him
"A impressed you cared so much for them i've met many of your kind and even the best or lovers didn't show the amount of pain you did when one was lossed" a child voice hung in the room caring a sense of ridacule and sympathy as if to feel genually remorful towards him
Realising that he had been targeted kiser didn't panick no he showed resolve as a enemy that was infront of you was easier to handle then one in the dark " and who might you be to intrude on my affairs and to assult the members of the kindom and others so openly do you think you could take them all once they find out"
"still thinking that you could get something out of me and escape is that it?"
Although it wasn't hard to figure our most people who openly declare themselves in a assult are those who useally think high of themselves so tricking them was to spell a clue about themselves.
"but i will say this sir Kiser of all i've seen of your kind you are a true man of your people and leader who deserves respect it's a shame though that most of those powers around you see you as nothing but a cealing blocking them from reaching the stars and my deepest regrets to your first disciple for im sorry to say that she wount be able to live up to your expectation"
"I can assure you she wont be as easily dealt with by who or what ever you but i wonder have you come to kill me our chat me into submission"
"kekekekeke or course not but i can say for sure we wont need to deal with her as shes taken an interest in a certain young man on my way here and it turns out your values and teaching were easily swade by a mere child kekekekekeke."
And within sudden burst or pressure pushing down on kiser small web lines attached to the sides of the wall suddenly closed in on him they were planted around him to begin with attemting to catch him in a cacoon.
with a yell a bright yellow light surroned kiser attempting so blow the webs apart but to his dismay his burst of power only help to keep him in place as more webbing formed across his power surge forming a giant cacoon around him showing no signs of breaking.
with swift motion kiser lefted his left hand that now held a paladin mace that smashed into the ground below him destorying the floor below him thuse falling to the lower level but with his decent a small spider was hidden on the underside of the debre and with great accurasy lept from his blind spot latching onto his left side of his head what followed was a severe pain on his face leading to the immediat lose of his sight of his left eye with a quick reaction drove his right hand to grab his small attacker only to grasp his own head.
Realizing his attacker was a most likely a spider user due to the web that amlost surronded him and he small attacker he felt more secure about who he was facing but regret full that he was still cought in a trap as the room he had fallen into was covered in webs, with out a second thought he lefted his right placing it in front of him revealing squar schield tatoo in his palm that glowed yellow as the shield itself materalized in front of him which instangly produced a light that surroned itself and kiser as the light itself ingulped him the damage he recieved was immiedeatly gone but a small mark now appeared on the right corner of the sheild barely noticable without close inspection this was his greatest weapon that even kings had tried to optian from him The shield of Sacrifice.
The Sheild of Sacrifice was one of the most sought after treasures that even the king had requasted from kiser only to be rejected some thought the king saw the error of his way in requasting the weapon of his own subordinate but only the top knew the truth that after be rejected the king had actually tried to force it from him but to his dismay kisers power didnt' just include the power of light but the Holy fire that could consume almost any power around it to help fual itself added to the power to not only take the damage its user recives when summoned it would also make their body as hard as Thorium it would have been hard fought battle that even the king would need to destory his own city to retreive if it was even possible.
With his sheild drawn a flame emerged from differnt parts of his body that quickly spread to the rest of him before exploding out wards to in an attempt to burn the webs the surroned him but to his dismay it appeared that the webs themselves only appeared to glow with a metal sheen with no sight of them burning.
Not being being able to burn the webs he realized that he must leave the mansion if he were to have a better chance but he wasn't quick to realized that if he's flames didn't burn the webs on the wall why would the ones at his feet.
with a sudden pull kiser was flung from his current location as a web had been tied to he's leg, crashing through the wall kiser had not once but twice been forced by the other party to move to another location reganing his footing he noticed he was in a ball room but instead of the walls completely covered only a few nests and strands hung form piller to piller all around him and whats more he was now completely covered in webs himself as the webbing in the prevouse room was all one big cacoon that now covered most of his body and multiply strands now lead to those pillers and areas behind them he was now being nailed to the grounds around him.
Being held in place he now understood why they could not be burned becouse like his flame they too were able to aborb the mana used to form spells meaning that if he competed in open flames the winner would be the last one to run out of mana but like his flames unless the spell or magic was fully controlled then it couldn't pull mana from it to burn.
understanding the powers before him his mace vanished only for a blade of light and flames to emerge from the cocoon the held him, before he could remove the strand that still held his left leg and webing covering his right arm forcing it down a single strand for each leg wrapped around his knees pulling them foward forcing him to his knees unable to react quick enough before another strand quickly restrained his arm forcing his blade to the sky.
Knowing he wasn't in a good situation kiser decidied to go all out as his body once agian was covered in flames but instead of blasting out the flames formed around him covering his original appearence turning him into a good of flame no matter how you looked at it and with a might roar attempted to stand once more as even if the webs were strong the ground and building itself was just dirt and twigs to a demi god.
It's a shame thougth with his mighty roar the situation did not change as another strand wrapped itself around his neck.
