The Village Guard

"Hmmm, I remember you; you were very flashy with that big scythe when I killed that stripper. Unfortunately for you being flashy isn't the only thing that you need to defeat me. After I kill you, I'll imprison you for 10 days as well, just so you can learn what you did wrong."

"I suppose we will just have to see if being flashy is the only thing I can do."

Vi wasn't a fan of talking to his enemies so instead he jumped into action. He leaped toward the village guard while swinging his scythe as to time it so that he would slice his neck when he got close enough.

Ting!

The village guard easily blocked his attack with the tip of his spear facing the now open roof.

That wasn't what concerned Vi though; he couldn't see the village guard move. This was very concerning for him. If he couldn't even see him move, how could he hit him?

"So your strength only amounts to this much... disappointing. I thought I may have met my match but I expected too much."

The village guard moved his spear out of the scythes curve and ducked to avoid the scythe before piercing Vi in the same place he got stabbed earlier.

"UGHH! Bleugh!"

Vi gave out a muted pain-filled grunt and vomited blood. The guard pulled the spear back, making Vi vomit out more blood and fall on his face.

"Well, that was an easy job. All these chosen ones think they can just commit crimes and get away with it-"

"No, I'm not done yet! I'm not, and I'll never be until I finish my goal!"

Vi slowly got back up, ignoring the immense pain in his stomach.

"Hmm, you have good determination. I'll give you that. Not many men could get back up after that, but I can't just let you kill someone and get away with it."

Vi finally got back on his feet and got in a stance to attack the village guard. He was bleeding crazily from his belly and intensely breathing.

He ran towards the village guard and swung as hard as he could.

Ting!

Once again, the village guard, with less strain, blocked Vi's attack.

"You are getting slower; just give up already. You will be put through less pain if you give up right now."

Vi raised his lowered head and looked the guard right in his eyes, "Do you think I would be here right now if I could afford to give up?!?"

"Hmm...let it be that way then."

Shlsh! Shlsh! Shlsh!

The village guard pierced and pulled back his spear into Vi three times, making him fall over.

"That should do it."

"It's..not over...YET!"

Vi jumped up with four holes in his chest and belly; he leaped over to the village guard and slashed at him once again.

"This time, I'll pierce your head-"

"Ugh!"

Vi wasn't sure what happened, but he took this opportunity and slashed his side with his scythe, making the village guard vomit out blood.

While he was full of adrenaline, he heard someone talk to him, "Sorry I didn't get here sooner; the guards gave me some trouble."

Vi looked at the voice, and it was Terric! He was holding two bloodied daggers.

"You got here just in time; let's finish him off."

Terric nodded at Vi and looked at where he saw the village guard last, only to be left flabbergasted. The village guard was gone!

"If you think it's that easy to kill me, you are very mistaken."

The village guard, all of a sudden, appeared in front of Terric and pierced him right in the chest, but the village guard wasn't done yet. He pulled the spear back and pierced Terric over and over and over until his eyes lost all life.

"NO TERRIC!"

Although Vi knew this was a game and he knew Terric was an NPC. He still risked his life for him when he would just respawn, but if Terric died, he would be gone forever. It made his anger toward the guard reach a new peak.

He looked at Terric's corpse and looked back at the village guard with pure hatred in his eyes.

"You Bastard! You would kill for this horrible man! You must know what he was doing in the basement, right!? How could you stand up for that!?"

"You don't understand...he may be evil and kidnap a couple of kids, but he brings wealth to this village. Who cares if a couple of families end up missing a kid? As long as this village stays safe for the masses, I'm doing my job."

This made Vi crack; he lost it, "Who cares?... WHO CARES!?! YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT THIS VILLAGE. I WILL PERSONALLY AVENGE ALL THOSE FAMILIES RIGHT HERE AND NOW!!!"

As Vi finished his speech, he heard a voice call out to him, "It looks like someone finally met my requirements, and it seems like you are about to die as well...ah what the hell. Who knows the next time I'll meet a human like you? I'll lend you some of my power."

As the voice finished spreading across the room, a silver ring left the ring finger of the, now dead, Terric and flew across the room before stopping in front of Vi.

He stared at the mystical ring for a second before it flew onto his ring finger.

He felt a string of knowledge enter his brain, and all disappear in a matter of seconds. He could only remember two words: physical enhancement.

He didn't know what took over him, but he knew what he had to do so he could win the fight.

"PHYSICAL ENHANCEMENT!!!"

BOOM!!!

He yelled out in the air and right after a boom of energy busted across the whole estate, forcing the mansion to collapse.

As the mansion began collapsing Vi stared into the village guard's eyes with pure anger and hatred behind them before leaping off the ground toward him.

He leaped with so much strength that the ground he jumped off of broke apart, and the air roared at his incredible speed while a deep red glow was surrounding him.

The guard had no clue what was happening, one second ago this guy was a nobody, completely useless, but now he had so much power that the village guard couldn't even see him when he jumped off the ground.

When Vi got close enough to the village guard, he placed the handle of the scythe towards the guard making the scythe's blade face his stomach, and just as he passed the guard pulled with all his pent-up anger and aggression. As the scythe went through the guard's stomach a mini explosion of energy occurred forcing his upper body to go flying into the air, and his lower body to go flying towards the ground.

As Vi hung in mid-air for a moment, he finally felt satisfied; he had actually done it. He finished his mission of purging evil.

After he reflected on what he had done today, gravity took over his body and pulled him down to the perfectly cut grass.

As he touched the ground and looked at the now-destroyed mansion, he smiled. After his adrenaline stopped pumping through his body a wave of tiredness took over him, making him almost fall asleep.

"Well, I guess this will be my first death..."

"No, mister! Please don't die!"

He heard a familiar voice, and a wave of warmth washed over him. He felt safe, like when his mother used to hug him, and slowly opened his tired eyes. He saw Hannah hovering her tiny hands over his chest with a blinding yellow light forcing its way out of her palm.
